The Battle of Meridian Valley defeated Cao Zhen, as if to celebrate, and the heavy rain that had lasted for a month began to slowly stop. The Meridian Valley was no longer blocked by heavy rain, and the march became easier.

After Ma Tan sighed that God was still a man, he then took the part on the road again.

This time, because the plank road had been repaired, Ma Jian led the horses up again. Although the Meridian Valley is relatively narrow, it is still possible to walk with a horse.

He had only traveled a hundred miles in a month in the Meridian Valley, and now he was marching a little faster.

Ma Tan led 2,000 troops along the Meridian Valley and pursued all the way north. Prepare to catch up with the Wei army and fight them again.

Along the way, there was no longer a little obstacle to the horse, and the road became bizarre and easy.

Because the Wei army came all the way south to build the road, the entire Meridian Valley was almost renovated. And the biggest obstacle to Ma Tan's northward journey, the rugged and difficult plank road, also allowed the Wei army to help smooth it.

So in just ten days, Ma Tan crossed most of the Meridian Valley and caught up with the rout of the Wei army.

At this moment, Cao Zhen and Xiahou Ba had already struggled to keep up with the large army, and returned north under the escort of soldiers and horses. As a result, on the Meridian Valley, he was also picked up by Ma Tan all the way.

The two sides fought three times in the Meridian Valley, and Ma Tan was defeated, and Lian Zhan Lianjie followed him to the North Valley Mouth of the Meridian Valley.

Ma Tan was indeed right, the Wei army was guarded by soldiers and horses at the mouth of the Meridian Valley. But because Ma Tan came out by biting Cao Zhen's tail all the way, the Wei army was unable to make effective resistance at all.

So Ma Tan followed Cao Zhen all the way at the mouth of the valley, and once again defeated the Wei army here.

By now, the Wei army has no morale at all, and it is simply unable to resist the high-morale Shu army. Cao Zhen had to lead his troops north to retreat to Chang'an, and the garrison in Guanzhong took over to resist.

It is only now that Ma Yan's news network has finally been regularized.

"What? The main force of the Wei army in Guanzhong has already gone to fight Longyou? Now Guanzhong is empty? Ma Tan listened to the information from the captive, and his face was wonderful.

What happened during the month I spent in Meridian Valley? How do you feel that I haven't caught up with anything, and running to Guanzhong has really become a tourist?

Especially when he heard that the Wei army of 100,000 was besieging Chencang, Wang Ping's defensive battle had already reached the point where he was personally on the field. Ma Jian expressed great sadness about this, why can't this be me!

Ma Tan was in the Meridian Valley for a month, and it was extremely torturous in the heavy rain. Just because he could get out of the Meridian Valley as a wave of death, he didn't withdraw it, and the result was ......

You tell me that Wei Jun is not at home?

The main force of the pseudo-Wei, you are not in Chang'an at all! Where have you TM gone!

Unlike Ma Yan, Liu Yin was excited when he heard this.

I didn't expect them to be so lucky, the main force of the Wei army was simply better than in Guanzhong. At this moment, the entire Guanzhong army is empty, and the garrisons everywhere are in vain.

In other words, at this time, Guanzhong has no troops to stop them!

"General! Heaven is on us! Don't miss out! Liu Yin immediately made a suggestion to Ma Yan,

"Guanzhong is the northwest center of the puppet Wei, and the grain and straw of Cao Wei's more than 100,000 troops are all in the Guanzhong Plain. At this moment, Guanzhong is empty, and there is no power to stop us, but we are all cavalry, and we can't attack the city at all. ”

"At this moment, it is better to divide the troops and destroy the facilities and fields of the pseudo-Wei in Guanzhong. As long as we destroy quickly enough and the area is large enough, it will be difficult for the Pseudo-Wei Northwest to recover for several years. ”

"At that time, whether we fight Liangzhou or go east to Yongzhou, we can take advantage of it!"

Liu Yin's proposal is very appropriate, and the emptiness in Guanzhong at this moment is the time for harassment. Ma Tan's 2,000 cavalry only needed to send troops to plunder and harass and destroy Cao Wei's facilities in Guanzhong, so that they could not get enough supplies from the local area.

At that time, the Shu army will go on another northern expedition, and the Wei army will not be able to stop it.

This is a good strategy, but it is a little too safe in Ma Yan's opinion. If you don't attack the city or fight in the field, you just have too low a risk factor of sabotage to make any plans at all.

And to be honest, Ma Jian still doesn't really want to sabotage. After all, it is the local farmers in Guanzhong who suffer the most from burning farmland and destroying water canals.

"Hugh, when can the pattern be bigger...... If we do this, the will of the people here in Guanzhong will not be with us. Ma Jian waved his hand and directly rejected Liu Yin's suggestion.

"The people here in Guanzhong will also be the people of the Han Dynasty in the future, wouldn't such destruction lose the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, and lose a big one because of a small one?"

"This ...... It's a little bit of thought. Liu Yin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and quickly apologized.

There's no way, he's a pure general, and he still lacks consideration for this kind of thing. However, under Ma Tan's reminder, he quickly reacted.

The banner of the Great Han is still a bit appealing now, especially in the northwest where the control of the pseudo-Wei is weak.

But if their Han army started to plunder, it would be a different matter. The people here will hate you and turn to Cao Wei to resist them.

In this way, you have lost the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon.

"So in my opinion, let's do our old job and cut off the grain." Ma Tan shook his head helplessly and began to make his own decisions.

Although Ma Tan came to Guanzhong to pounce on the air, he couldn't withdraw casually when he came.

It is definitely impossible to attack Chang'an, and it is wishful thinking for people to attack Chang'an. And Cao Zhen returned defeated, and he definitely didn't have the courage to come out to fight, so it was impossible to reproduce the Xiangyang miracle.

However, at this moment, the garrison of Guanzhong Sanfu is scarce, and he does not dare to fight in the field at all. And the main forces were all fighting in Yongzhou, and its grain route was almost exposed in front of Ma Tan.

At this time, it is better to follow your old profession and engage in grain looting on the front line of Guanzhong. This will not lose the hearts of the people, and it can also hit the morale of the Wei army on the front line.

It is best to attract all the Wei troops on the front line to encircle and suppress him, so that not only will his death value rise sharply, but also relieve the pressure on Longyou.

Kill two birds with one stone!

As for the valley mouth of the Meridian Valley, Ma Jian could no longer divide his troops to defend it. Anyway, he didn't need the grain road when he was out of Chen Cang, and Ma Jian didn't care very much.

Even if it's blocked, it's fine, it's not just the meaning of Ma Yan.

"Let's go, soldiers! We're going to fight guerrillas again! ”

At the same time as Ma Tan's soldiers left the Meridian Valley, Zhuge Liang also led people to Nanzheng, Hanzhong.

The heavy rain stuck the Meridian Valley, and also stuck the Shuzhong Road. Zhuge Liang led people to wait in the Sword Pavilion for more than half a month, and finally arrived in Nanzheng.

"So Ma Tan still went to Guanzhong?" Zhuge Liang's expression was a little gloomy, but the worry in his eyes could not be concealed.

Ma Jian is now the leader of the new generation, who will take over if something happens to him. The revival of the Han Dynasty is not something that Zhuge Liang can do alone!

"Prime Minister! The Auxiliary General had already resumed his journey a few days ago. Jiang Wei, who had just come back, was summoned by Zhuge Liang and reported to him.
