In the autumn of the ninth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang's soldiers went out of the slope and launched the second Northern Expedition and returned triumphantly.

This battle did not occupy a large place in Guanzhong, but the gains were quite large. Moreover, the multi-faceted joint operations of the Shu army not only thwarted the offensive of the Wei army, but also collapsed the battle of Guanzhong several times.

For example, Zhao Yun and Zhang He led more than 10,000 troops to defeat the Wei army in Wudang Mountain. Cao Wei sent tens of thousands of troops to attack Nanyang for two months, but he didn't get anything at all.

On the right side of Long, after Guo Huai's main force withdrew his troops, Fei Yi immediately transferred the main force to Anding County. As a result, Sima Yi's main force was attacked by the superior forces of Shu Han, and retreated to Jincheng after losing more than 1,000 soldiers and horses.

The most important thing is that Cao Wei, the northwestern pillar, the general Cao Zhen, fell seriously ill after this battle. After Ma Tan's congratulations, his condition worsened, and he was only one foot away from his death.

All these changes have made Shu Han's situation begin to improve.

From this point of view, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition can be called a big victory. At least no one in the future should know that this time the soldiers went out to pick up Ma Yan......

In short, when Zhuge Liang returned to Hanzhong, all the officials in Hanzhong came to congratulate the army.

However, Zhuge Liang was not happy, and immediately led the army to Shuzhong after simply arranging the finishing work. Although he knew that Li Feng couldn't make too much of a mess, he had to be cautious after all.

In the case of little influence of the weather, it will not take long to get from Hanzhong to Shuzhong. Zhuge Liang led his troops to Zitong in just a few days, and then learned the latest news from Shuzhong.

Li Feng's rebels passed through Guanghan County and encountered stubborn resistance from the local soldiers. After a fierce battle, the rebels were defeated and had to retreat to the territory of Jiangzhou.

But even so, Li Feng's rebels still did not give up the attack. After the main force retreated to Jiangzhou, it continued to dispatch small troops to try to sneak through Guanghan County and attack Shu County.

"It seems that the rebels are already timid, and they must fight quickly, otherwise they will run away!" Zhuge Liang immediately made a judgment that Li Feng was planning to run away.

The Jiangzhou rebels themselves are part of the Jiangzhou garrison and the militia, and their combat effectiveness is not high. The tens of thousands of people couldn't even beat Guanghan County, and it was obvious that the offensive momentum had dried up.

Now, if you hear that the main force of the Han army has returned, you will definitely find a way to escape. And Jiangzhou is too close to Yong'an, if the rebels desperately want to escape, I am afraid that the Yangtze River Pass may not be able to stop it.

So, Zhuge Liang then made a series of responses.

First of all, Zhang Yi led 5,000 troops to rush to the aid of Yong'an from Bazhong, and was responsible for blocking the Yangtze River Pass to prevent the rebels from escaping. At the same time, he also sent an order to Li Hui in Nanzhong, ordering him to block the roads in Nanzhong and prevent the rebels from breaking through to the south.

In the end, Zhuge Liang called up and handed over the task of breaking the enemy head-on to Lao Ma.

Although he really wants to smoke Ma Tan, Zhuge Liang must also admit that now he is running long distances to break the enemy head-on, and Ma Jian is considered to be the top of the Han Dynasty. Faced with this need to quickly break the enemy, Zhuge Liang still handed over the task to Ma Yan.

"Young Chang, this time you will be given 3,000 cavalry, you will attack Jiangzhou from Guanghan County, it is best to successfully break the enemy within ten days!" Zhuge Liang explained the task of his trip to Ma Jian and laid out the location of Li Feng's base camp.

"The counties under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou don't need to be ignored, as soon as Li Feng died, they were all stabilized. You only need to lead the troops to Jiangzhou quickly and break the rebel army under the city of Jiangzhou. ”

"Don't worry, Prime Minister! You don't need 3,000 people, you can ...... 100 people by yourself."

"If you dare to take such a risk again, I will throw you outside Chengdu to manage the production of Shu brocade!" Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly became unkind, and his tone was full of warnings.

"I will let Chen Yi follow the whole process, and don't think about concealing the action again! Otherwise, you Ma Youchang will pack up and go to be the owner of the Shu brocade workshop! ”

Seeing Zhuge Liang's increasingly dangerous eyes, Ma Jian suddenly shrank his head.

Well, his own prime minister has figured out his own death hole. As soon as he opened his mouth, Ma Tan was most afraid of depriving himself of his military rights, and he threw it directly to the safest place.

What did this make Ma Jian do?

…………

…………

…………

After being suppressed by Zhuge Liang, Ma Jian could only honestly lead 3,000 cavalry to Jiangzhou.

During this period, Chen Yi was like a thief, and he followed Ma Jian every step of the way. Even if Ma Jian went to the toilet, he had to wait outside, more active than Ma Tan's own soldiers.

No way, this general is too adventurous. It may not be able to look at it every day, how dare Chen You be a little lazy.

Because Chen Yi never left an inch, Ma Jian could only honestly take the road to attack Jiangzhou.

After the cavalry arrived in Jiangzhou, Ma Jian began to encounter rebel resistance. However, most of them were militiamen with no morale, and Ma Jian could not even intervene himself, and the rebels were routed by the vanguard.

At that time, the Jiangzhou soldiers were not without being able to fight, and there were still many elite ones under Li Yan's governance. However, most of them were taken to Longyou by the uproar, and after Li Yan's death, all of them were cheaper than Fei Yi.

There was no way, Li Yan didn't expect that he would be a lonely minister, and he would not be able to figure out what he would die in the end.

So there weren't many soldiers left for Li Feng, and they were basically old, weak, sick and disabled.

Without a standing army, the main force of the rebels was only the militia soldiers. That bit of combat effectiveness is really nothing to see in front of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Ma Tan led the troops all the way to the bottom of Jiangzhou City, and at noon on the fifth day, they killed Jiangzhou City like no one.

However, when Ma Tan arrived smoothly all the way to the city of Jiangzhou, he found that the head of the rebel base camp was empty. The gates of the city were opened, and the streets were empty, and there was not even a single soldier to defend the city.

In short, Jiangzhou is like an empty city.

"What is Li Feng doing?" Ma Tan looked at the empty Jiangzhou City in amazement, feeling puzzled.

Li Feng: Is this rotten?

"General Ma! Long time no see! ”

At this time, a calm voice came from the city, and a person appeared at the city. Behind him were two children, carrying a table and two wine glasses to the city.

He is Li Yan's son Li Feng.

"You've become so vicissitudes that I almost don't recognize you." Li Feng's face was calm, and he waved his hand to Ma Jian from afar.

"Seeing each other today, don't you plan to come up for a drink and talk in detail?"

Li Feng's posture instantly made Liu Yin and the other generals look nervous, and their eyes were full of vigilance.

They came to the city with a large army, so that the rebel leader was so calm. Not only that, but also opened the city gate to greet it, which would not have been believed if there was no ambush dog.

Liu Yin and the others were all engrossed, and began to be vigilant around, ready for an ambush at any time.

However, at this time, Ma Jian jumped off the horse directly and said with a smile.

"No problem, I really want to drink and chat with Li Jiangzhou!"
