Just when Ma Jian took over as the Taishou of Hanzhong, he began to prepare for the Meridian Valley with an excited face. Cao Zhen, on the other side, also came to Luoyang to play the plan for Cao Rui to cut down Shu.

In the past few years, Cao Wei has been pitted twice by Shu Han, losing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses before and after, and countless counties. This was very dissatisfied with Cao Wei, a self-proclaimed orthodox and large country in the Central Plains.

Why do you beat me in one mine and nine mines, and you can still press me to fight?

So Cao Zhen, as Cao Wei's general, made a decision, that is, to cut down Shu. Take advantage of Shu Han's freshness to finish cutting down Wu and prepare to recuperate and throw him away.

"The purpose of the general's return to Luoyang this time is this?"

Facing Cao Zhen's plan, Cao Rui frowned.

During this time, what he heard was always that our army was killed, and then our passage was unimpeded, and then the Shu army was defeated......

Several times in a row, and each time he was defeated by one person. This made Cao Rui almost guilty of Shuphobia, and he had doubts about the combat power of the Great Wei soldiers and horses.

So in the face of Cao Zhen's request, Cao Rui reacted coldly.

"Your Majesty, according to what I heard in Chang'an, Shu is already full of thieves because of Ma Yan. Xishu mobilized troops and horses to suppress it in all directions, and it was seen that it would not be able to slow down in a few years. ”

"This time is when they are the weakest, and if they don't beat him at this time, they will probably not be able to grab it in the future."

In the past two years, Cao Zhen, the governor of Chang'an, was personally responsible for training the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong. In two years, a large number of warlords were disposed of, and the army was gathered to increase the combat power.

Now that the soldiers and pawns of Guan Zhong have been basically unified, it is for Cao Zhen to launch a big war to boost morale.

You must know that since the battle of Chencang, the front line of Yongzhou has been endlessly harassed. The Shu generals Wang Ping and Shu Ji guarded Chencang, and extended the scope of guerrilla cavalry activities to Sanfu.

Guo Huai was in Yongzhou, and basically he was attacked by the Shu army in three days. Burn your two grain carts today, and put antlers in the middle of your road tomorrow, endless disgusting.

In particular, that Shu Ji, as if he had mastered the tactics of guerrilla, was no less than Ma Jian in guerrilla warfare.

He even developed a lot of new ways to play, such as using bamboo as a javelin, which was filled with gold juice and thrown over. A few javelins are inserted into your grain cart, and you will basically have to be reimbursed for half of your truckload of grain.

Therefore, Guo Huai once moved the governance office from Yongxian County to Youfufeng, because he really couldn't stand this gang of hooligans.

If this continues, it is estimated that Yongzhou will not be able to hold it next time the Shu army goes east.

So Cao Zhen came to Luoyang and said that Your Majesty we have to smoke him once.

Cao Zhen's plan was very simple, with Guo Huai's Yongzhou army and Sima Yi's Liangzhou army as the main force in the west, and attacked Longyou on both sides. Cao Xiu, the general of Huainan, led his troops from Nanyang to the west and attacked Shangyong Nanxiang as a response.

And Cao Zhen also set up a surprise army all the way, with tens of thousands of soldiers ready to go to the Meridian Valley to attack the strategic loyalty of the Shu army! If Hanzhong is successfully conquered, then Longyou Shangyong will occupy all of them.

Even if it can't be defeated, it is enough to contain the Shu army.

The four-way army jointly attacked Shu, so that the Shu army was on fire on all sides. Even if you Zhuge Liang can count again, even if you can fight again, how many nails are you covered in iron?

"General Zidan, is this a bit too risky?"

But in Cao Rui's opinion, this plan is a bit too risky. He pondered for a long time and said.

"I know you want to reclaim Longyou, but it seems that this Meridian Valley is a little too risky......"

"Your Majesty! Zhuge Liang is cunning, Ma Jian is brave, if there is no trick, can An win? And now that the thieves in Shu are exhausted, they will not be able to pull out their legs in a short period of time in terms of the situation in Western Shu. Cao Zhen arched his hand, saluted again and explained to Cao Rui.

"There is civil strife in Shudi, this is the opportunity that God has given me to Great Wei. If you don't grasp it firmly, I'm afraid there is a risk of raising tigers! ”

Cao Zhen then took two steps back, leaving his majesty a chance to think. It was an adventure, but it wasn't much of a problem to Cao Zhen.

If you don't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid there will be no more in the future. With the internal situation of Shu Han, it will not be a few years before the capital of Guanzhong will threaten.

Now, the right to shoot the case is in Cao Rui's hands again, and he has to make up his mind again. If he chooses the wrong one, he Cao Rui will be the sinner of the Cao family from now on.

"Yes!" But in the end, Cao Rui chose to nod, he believed in Cao Zhen's strength.

"General Zidan! I believe in your abilities, and I'll leave this matter to you! ”

The dice of fate have been dropped, and now it's time to see the results.

"In this battle, I will personally dispatch and bring my own troops and horses to attack the Meridian Valley with the three thousand Hanzhong Army! If I can, I can even go directly to Chang'an City and give Cao Zhen a big eye! ”

In Hanzhong South Zhengli, Ma Jian also made his plan. The whole article is basically copied by Wei Yan, and even the number of people is exactly the same.

However, the purpose was slightly changed, this time he was going to Guanzhong to harass.

"General! The soldiers and horses have only been resting for a few days, and they are going to go out again? Liu Yin had a headache, and he hadn't rested for two days since he had followed Ma Yan.

Why is General Ma so energetic, basically active at the forefront every day?

"And the Meridian Valley is difficult to travel, and it is very easy to be cut off. What's more, we can't gain anything when we go to Chang'an? ”

"Hugh, this is a small pattern, you have to open your eyes!" Ma Jian waved his hand, and then used the art of war he was good at and began to brainwash this talent.

Your commander "Ma Yan" offered you an invitation to talk on paper, did you accept it?

【Yes】【Accept】

"A few years ago, Cao Zhen, the puppet Wei general, was in charge of Guanzhong, and then the inside and outside of Guanzhong were quickly purged. What is the combat strength and morale of the more than 100,000 Guanzhong troops of the puppet Wei now? We don't know any of that. ”

"If it is the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition next year, how can he make a judgment without knowing the opponent's combat strength? The so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can win all battles, and it is obviously inappropriate not to investigate! ”

"So we must go to Guanzhong to attack and investigate the development of the Wei army's combat strength."

"What's more, we are cavalry of a hundred battles, coming and going like the wind. If the Wei army intends to cut off our way back, we can quickly withdraw to the Meridian Valley and return to Shu. ”

"It's all about the big picture!"

Ma Yan's arguments were reasonable, and the pattern was still very big, made Liu Yin silent. After thinking about it carefully, the general did say that it was true, but why did it still feel that something was wrong?

"Okay, let's go down and prepare, a month later, we will gather soldiers and horses, and a certain person will lead five thousand elite soldiers to attack Chang'an out of the Meridian Valley!" With a wave of his hand, Ma Tan made a final decision.

General Wenchang, I will help you complete the work you haven't done, you can rest assured that you will be in Longyou!

Just as Ma Jian was making a decision, the guard of Yangping Pass suddenly sent a letter.

"Envoy, there is a soldier and horse in Longyou who came to Yangping Pass, saying that he was ordered by Fei Yi to crusade against Wudu Zhuqiang, and hoped to come to Hanzhong to rest and recuperate!"

"Oh? Who leads the troops? ”

"I heard that it's Captain Jiang Wei of Fenwei!"

"What?"
