After Zhuge Dan heard that Ma Jian led the troops to fight, he immediately threw down Zhao Yun and Zhang He and ran back to Nanyang to sit in the town.

As it turned out, this decision was indeed the right one.

As soon as Zhuge returned to Fancheng to sit in town, he heard that something had happened on the front line. The main force of the Shu army was still besieging Dangyang, and Ma Tan's hometown of Yicheng suddenly rebelled.

The Yicheng Ma clan to which Ma Tan belongs is a famous family in Jingbei. While besieging Dangyang, Ma Tan kept sending people to Yicheng to hook up with fellow villagers.

Because Ma Tan suddenly became famous in the past two years, and he had the posture of Zhuge Liang's heir in Shu Han, the Yicheng villagers rebelled without saying a word. The head of the Ma family in Yicheng contacted several big clans to raise troops together, killed the Yicheng defenders, and surrendered to the Shu army.

But if Zhuge comes back a few steps later, Ma Jian is estimated to be about to attack Xiangfan.

In fact, Lao Ma has already begun to select elite soldiers and prepare to attack Xiangyang. Although he has few soldiers and little food, and he doesn't have many people on his hands, he can't stand our old horse's daring to think.

Although I am poor, my ambitions cannot be short!

What happened to the five thousand? Can't I surprise Xiangfan with 5,000 people?

As long as I'm alive, I'll dare to do anything.

However, this time Ma Tan obviously didn't touch the right person, and Zhuge Dan is also a stable talent. He rushed back from Xincheng in time and quickly stabilized Xiangfan.

As a result, before Ma Tan could get ready, he heard that the Wei army in Xiangyang had greatly increased its strength. Zhuge Dan personally supervised Fancheng, and the Wei army on the front line of Jingxiang did not cause a chain effect because of the Yicheng rebellion.

"It is worthy of being the gong dog of the Zhuge family, and it is really not comparable to Ding Feng and others." Ma Tan touched his chin, feeling a little regretful for a while.

He originally thought that his slow siege of Dangyang could confuse the Wei army, and planned to make Cao Wei think that he was just here to harass him. But obviously, Cao Wei didn't despise him because of this, but didn't say a word, Xiangfan was strictly protected.

This is still a small number of opponents who are one step ahead of themselves and block his plan. I have to say that he can keep up with Ma Tan's jumping thinking, and he is also a talent.

"It's a pity, I seem to have to think of some other strategy to deal with Jing Xiang." Ma Tan spread out the map and pulled Liu Yin to discuss the next step.

"Hu Ran came to help me see if there were any flaws on the Jingxiang front line that could be disturbed. Don't worry about the distance and difficulty, as long as you say it, be careful that we will definitely be able to hit it. ”

Listening to Ma Yan's words, the corners of Liu Yin's mouth twitched, and he immediately saw that the addiction to fighting from the family general had come up again.

However, Liu Yin still tried his best to find a loophole for Ma Jian to find a loophole in the Wei army. Adhering to the principle of responding to the general's requests, Liu Yin also let his thoughts go a little bolder.

"General, our goal this time is to respond to the offensive in the direction of General Zilong's new city. And if you want to have an impact on the new city, Zhuyang is the core of it. ”

Liu Yin pointed his hand and pointed to a small city more than two hundred miles behind Xiangfan and said.

"This place is already close to Nanxiang County, which is considered the boundary behind Jingxiang, and Cao Wei must have neglected to take precautions. If the general can avoid Xiangfan's eyes and ears and lead light troops to conquer this place, he can directly cut off the grain route of the Wei army in Xincheng. ”

"It only takes a month to defend it, and Xincheng County can collapse without a fight. At that time, the main force of the Han army can go all the way east to Nanyang, and there is no way for the Wei army not to come back. ”

Compared with Ma Tan's guerrilla fighting style that he didn't know where he wanted to sneak attack, Liu Yin's vision was much better. He immediately came up and analyzed specific problems in detail, and dealt with the key points of the matter in a short and quick manner...... Ahem, an occupational disease has been committed.

In short, after Liu Yin's analysis, Ma Jian suddenly became enlightened. suddenly remembered that he was here to respond to General Zilong, and he should aim at the front line of Xincheng.

It's no wonder that Zhuge Liang is so guarded against Ma Yan, every time he comes out to fight, he always forgets his original task. With this memory, he gave him a military order to ensure that he could commit all the crimes without falling apart except for abandoning the army and fleeing.

"Hugh Ran said very much." Ma Yan nodded, pondering for a long time before making a final decision.

"But general, the Jingxiang line is full of Wei Jun's eyeliner. If we can't let Zhuge Festival divert attention, I'm afraid we won't be able to get to Zhuyang. Liu Yin scratched his head and continued to speak to Ma Yan.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own clever plan." Ma Tan was not worried about this at all, and waved his hand nonchalantly and said.

"Take Dangyang as soon as possible, and unite with the Yicheng Righteous Army to go north to Xiangfan. At that time, I will personally go to Fancheng to confront Zhuge Dan, and persuade him to take the initiative to make way for us with this three-inch incorruptible tongue! ”

…………

…………

After resisting Ma Tan for ten days, Dangyang's Wei army was finally broken through by the Shu army. Ma Tan led the main force to the north quickly, and joined forces with the troops of the Yicheng Uprising to kill Xiangfan.

The line from Xiangyang to Fancheng is the hardest line of defense of Cao Wei Jingxiang. Xiangyang City and Fancheng are located on both sides of the Han River, blocking the Yangtze River like a lock.

Back then, Guan Erye fought here with an army of 30,000 for several years, but he didn't bite it down. Even if the Seventh Army was flooded in the end, the ban could not break Fancheng.

Therefore, Zhuge Dan chose to guard Fancheng and sent deputy generals to garrison Xiangyang and Deng County. As long as these places are not lost, it is impossible for the Shu army to cross this place and harass Nanyang.

Ma Tan led 8,000 Shu troops to Xiangyang City, and was immediately frightened by the tall city.

The city wall of 20 meters and the moat are more than 10 meters, which is taller than the city wall of Chengdu. No wonder Guan Erye and the Han Marine Corps can't gnaw, this is really not easy to fight.

Basically, it is similar to Gangneung, and it is a fortified city that is not suitable for attacking.

Fancheng, located north of the Han River, was relatively short, but with the Han River as a barrier, it was difficult for the Shu army to pose a threat to it.

"It's so hard to chew." Ma Yan let out a long sigh and felt a little headache.

The name of General Shenwei seems to be poisonous, and while he inherited Ma Chao's invincibility in the field, he also perfectly inherited his shortcomings that he could not attack. The enemy's defense line is a little stronger, and Ma Jian will have to find a way to attack the heart.

"Forget it, Hu Ran will command Qu to settle down first, and we can only slowly provoke the Wei army in this way." Ma Jian shook his head, already planning to think about it in the long run.

As a result, before Liu Yin could answer, the gate of Xiangyang City suddenly opened, and then countless Wei troops suddenly came out of the city.

"Ma Yan'er, your head, I Zhuge Wu accepted it!" A Wei general came out with a roar of Wei troops, and roared magnificently at Ma Yan.

The Wei army behind it was about 10,000 people, all of whom were awe-inspiring and rushed towards the stunned Shu army, and at this time, the distance between the two sides was only a few miles!

"General, what's going on?" Liu Yin was a little stunned, and pointed at Wei Jun and asked.

Ma Tan was silent for a moment, and then replied.

"Taishan Mansion bless us!"
