Ma Tan will definitely not be able to listen to Liu Yin and Jiang Wei's persuasion, and he will never be able to return to Hanzhong.

At this moment, Hanzhong is estimated to have sent the news back to Chengdu, and Prime Minister Zhuge may already be on his way to arrest him. If he retreats to Hanzhong, it is estimated that Nan Zheng just happened to meet Cheng, and then he will not want to get the military power in this life.

If Zhuge Liang didn't give him a chance to go to the battlefield and hold him down, Ma Jian really couldn't do anything. In that case, he can only be forcibly forbidden to work, and he is only allowed to feel the torture of having nothing to do with his pension in Chengdu!

Is this good? It's not good!

I'd better die as soon as possible, whether it works or not, give me a chance.

Now in Meridian Valley, as long as the logistics continue, Ma Jian can wait forever. When the heavy rain stopped, he immediately led his troops to march forward quickly.

It is said that there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the pass, and each of them is a fierce man in the pass who can fight well. When you encounter this kind of enemy, you shouldn't be as weak as Soochow, right?

Probably not, right?

Because the road is blocked, the information that Cao Zhen got in Shuzhong was generally half a year ago. And vice versa, Ma Tan didn't know that Cao Wei's army was in full swing at this moment.

If he goes back at this moment, it is estimated that he will be sent to Longyou to resist the main force of the Wei army immediately. Under the command of Guo Huai, Chen Tai, Sima Yi and a group of people, it was inevitable that Ma Jian would rub and bump.

It's a pity that Ma Jian didn't know, he was still full of confidence and felt that the Meridian Valley conspiracy was very risky.

In short, Ma Jian still directly vetoed Jiang Wei and Liu Yin's suggestion. He just ordered them to command the training on their own, and at the same time guard against mountain torrents and rolling rocks, they tried their best to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.

Anyway, Hanzhong is rich, and the grain is extremely abundant, so it is no problem to raise him for 5,000 people to spend a month or two in the Meridian Valley.

Thief God, if you have the ability, you will keep raining! As long as you dare to stop, no one will be able to stop me, and I will die in the middle!

On the other side of the Meridian Valley, Cao Zhen also commanded tens of thousands of troops to walk through the extremely difficult Meridian Valley.

At the same time that the other three-way armies began to storm the Shu army's defense line, Cao Zhen led his troops south to the Meridian Valley. There were a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses on this trip, and in addition to the general Cao Zhen himself, there was also a junior Xiahou Ba as the vanguard.

Unlike Ma Yan, Cao Zhen's entry into the Meridian Valley was smooth sailing at the beginning.

The heavy rain did not reach Guanzhong, and the northern section of the Meridian Valley was not affected by the heavy rain.

The Wei army walked safely all the way through the 200-mile mountain road, and basically did not encounter any obstacles.

"General, our army has gone all the way south from the Meridian Valley, and our army is unimpeded! Without a hitch! ”

The pioneer Xiahou Ba was very surprised when he led the troops to march for two hundred miles, and there was no surprise. Facing Cao Zhen, he was extremely excited.

"At this marching speed, in seven days at most, our army will be able to reach Hanzhong."

There is a reason why Xiahouba is excited, his father died at the foot of a mountain in Hanzhong. His killing led to the loss of Hanzhong, and when he withdrew, Cao Cao also severely criticized Xiahou Yuan, who was already at a loss.

This was regarded as a shame by Xiahou Ba, and he wanted to avenge his father and wash away this shame.

This is also the reason why Cao Zhen brought him here and made him a pioneer, training the next generation of generals of the Xiahou family.

"Good." Cao Zhen was also very satisfied, the Meridian Valley was so difficult to travel, and there were no accidents along the way.

It seems that God is blessing the prosperity of Great Wei!

"But don't be careless, even if we can pass through the Meridian Valley, it is easy to be suffocated in the valley by the Shu army. After all, Hanzhong is dangerous, and it is not easy to conquer the defense line of the Shu army. ”

Shu Han's defense of Hanzhong had always pursued a policy of "wrongly guarding the sieges" before Jiang Wei. Divide the troops to block all the mountain roads, relying on the steep mountains and the natural dangers of Shuchuan to resist the Wei army.

Historically, this policy did not become "gathering troops in the valley" until Jiang Wei became a general.

Therefore, for the Wei army, the real test is whether it can break through the defense line of the Shu army when it comes out of the Meridian Valley. Only by successfully breaking through the valley mouth of the Meridian Valley can you enter Hanzhong.

The road was so smooth, Cao Zhen was already gearing up, ready to personally lead the troops to fight the Shu army to the death in Hanzhong.

Since Cao Cao was forced away by Liu Bei, the Wei army has not been here for twenty years. If he Cao Zhen can take Hanzhong this time, he may not be able to become Huo Quai, the Great Wei!

Right now! It's fantasy time......

"General! The mountain road ahead is suddenly covered with dark clouds, and it seems to be pouring rain in the distance, so I'm afraid the road will be difficult! ”

Just when Xiahou Ba and Cao Zhen began to imagine a decisive battle in Hanzhong, the soldiers in front cautiously squeezed back all the way and reported to Cao Zhen.

At this time, they had already penetrated deep into the Qinling Mountains and entered the range of heavy rain.

Cao Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and then went to the front army in person to take a look at the situation.

"What's going on? Is there such a heavy rain in Hanzhong at the moment? Seeing the weather conditions in the distance, Cao Zhen was also a little stunned. But he quickly reacted and quickly gave the order.

"What are you afraid of! We're halfway through the Meridian Valley, and the rest of the road is only a few days. What's more, our army has 30,000 people, even if there is a torrential rain to stop it, it can't stop the pace of my Great Wei soldiers! ”

"Especially in such a heavy rain raid on Hanzhong, the Shu army must be negligent in taking precautions! Taking this opportunity to rush into Hanzhong, it is a good opportunity for the number of days to change and break through Shu in one fell swoop! ”

"Pass my orders, and the whole army will continue to march in full force! Don't stop until Hanzhong! ”

"General! A certain can be a pioneer first! If the plank road is destroyed, it can be repaired in advance to prevent the impact on the army! Seeing this, Xiahou Ba immediately arched his hand and asked for his life. He had been waiting for this day for a long time, just to kill him back to Hanzhong to avenge his father.

"If you encounter the Shu army, you are willing to break the army first for the general!"

"Excellent! I have the spirit of a big Wei man! Cao Zhen was very satisfied, patted Xiahou Ba's shoulder and promised.

"When the Shu army occupies Hanzhong and returns victorious, I will promote you to the general of Shu!"

"In the future, you will definitely become a pillar of the Great Wei!"

At the insistence of Cao Zhen and Xiahou Ba, the main force of the Wei army entered the heavy rain range violently.

They have a large number of troops, and they cannot be stationed in the Meridian Valley for a long time. So they had to keep going, all the way to Hanzhong to stop.

In this way, Ma Yan, the general of the auxiliary state of Shu Han, and Cao Zhen, the general of Cao Wei, went in both directions by chance.

In the days that followed, Wei Jun began to understand the true meaning of the Shu Dao Difficulty.

A large number of plank roads were washed away by heavy rain, and the Wei army had to keep repairing them, and then continue to move forward, constantly circulating back and forth. Among them, there were soldiers who slipped and fell down the valley, and a large number of soldiers fell ill and died of hypothermia in the heavy rain.

If Cao Zhen had an understanding of Shudi, he would definitely not rush into the army. After all, this heavy rain made Ma Jian have to take shelter from the limelight temporarily.

It's a pity that Cao Zhen, a native of the Central Plains, didn't know the difficulty of the situation. And it was already here, and Cao Zhen didn't want to retreat after consuming so much grain and grass.

The Wei army, which was constantly struggling in the rain, was getting closer and closer to Ma Tan in the continuous difficult march.

The war between the two sides is about to break out......

Hmph, ah
