"After this battle, these Wei people should be honest for a long time."

On Wudang Mountain, Zhao Yun led his troops to be stationed on a high place, looking at the Wei army that slowly withdrew to the east bank of Danshui and muttered.

Although the main battlefield of Shu Wei is in Longyou, Guanzhong, it does not mean that the Nanyang battlefield is not important. While fighting on the battlefield in Guanzhong, tens of thousands of Wei troops also crossed Danshui to try to recapture Wudang.

The Shangyong counties are located in a high place and pose a huge threat to the entire Xiangyang line. However, normally speaking, the Shu army threatened Xiangfan at most, and could not enter the Nanyang Basin.

However, during the battle of Wu, the Shu army went out of the pass from Wudang and captured Nanxiang County, which was first requested in time, and opened up the road for Shangyong to enter Nanyang. Although the main force of the Wei army recaptured most of Nanxiang County after its return, the Wudang Pass was still in the hands of the Shu army.

So when the Fourth Route Army attacked Shu, the new governor of Huainan Wang Ling sent tens of thousands of troops to attack Wudang. As a result, under the joint attack of Zhao Yun and Zhang He, the Wei army did not make any progress at all for more than a month.

Finally, after the news of the defeat in Guanzhong, the Wei army was demoralized and forced to evacuate.

For the veteran general Zhao Yun, this battle was not difficult.

After all, there is Wudang Mountain as a barrier, and there is also the cooperation of the general Zhang He. The Wei army's grain road was not smooth, and it was difficult to exert all its strength in the face of Wudang.

"What do you think?" Zhao Yun looked at Zhang He, who had been promoted to the general of Zhengdong because of his merits, and asked.

"It's nothing, Wang Ling is not a good general, and defeating him is not a meritorious achievement." Zhang He was very disdainful of Wang Ling, and military generals like him would not look down on those high-ranking generals.

In Zhang He's opinion, Wang Ling is a person who is based on his relationship and family, and it is not worth bragging about defeating him.

"Hahaha...... It's all the credit of the young man, if it weren't for the young man, I'm afraid the situation of the big man would not be so good now. Zhao Yun smiled, but suddenly coughed, and the intensity startled Zhang He.

"Zilong, you are ......"

"It's okay, it's a little old, and it's not good when people are old." Zhao Yun stopped coughing and didn't care about it.

He can clearly feel that the end is coming, and I am afraid that he may not be able to survive until the next Northern Expedition. However, he is not worried, judging from the current situation, Kuangfu's grand wish to return the Han family to the old capital is not a utopian dream.

It's a pity that I can't see it......

Just when Zhao Yun was chatting with Zhang He, he suddenly saw a caravan appear at the foot of the mountain. Its appearance was so sudden that Zhao Yun couldn't pay attention to it at all.

What's the situation, how can there be smugglers just after the war?

"What's going on? How can there be a merchant pass? Zhao Yun frowned, called his generals, pointed to the caravan and asked.

"Uh...... General, they have a seal letter from Fei Tingshi, saying that it is a joint venture caravan between the Yang clan of Longyou and the Han court. The general glanced at it, and then carefully explained to Zhao Yun.

"Fei Shi Shi? A caravan from Yongzhou? "Even Zhang He was surprised at this time, you must know that Longyou is hundreds of miles away from here.

"It's a little strange...... Zhao Yun heard that it was Fei Yi's caravan, and he didn't stop it immediately. However, Zhao Yun was still very suspicious, so he kept an eye on it.

Soon he saw the caravan pass through the defense zone and plunge headlong into the mountains. From afar, Zhao Yun also saw that there were people in the Wei Army's territory to answer them.

This made Zhao Yun more and more curious, and after thinking for a while, he decided to report the matter to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After all, Zhao Yun is just a general, and he won't make decisions at will until he understands it clearly.

At this moment, if you want to talk about the people in Chengdu, it must be Ma Yan.

Originally, Ma Jian was famous for his courage and good fighting, and the whole of Chengdu knew about the auxiliary generals. Name. Moreover, since returning from the war against Wu, Zhuge Liang personally created momentum for him, implying that Ma Jian was his successor, which made Ma Jian even more famous.

However, this time, the decree issued by the palace directly pushed Ma Jian to the highest point.

Is there anything more authoritative than the palace and the palace saying that Ma Jian is the successor of the next generation?

At least not yet.

For a while, the people who came to Ma Fu to visit Ma Jian grabbed a lot of them, and even Ma Tan's in-laws were scolded.

However, it seemed that it was not easy to do, Ma Jian closed the door directly, and refused to receive anyone who came to visit.

Now seeing these people, Ma Jian felt like his wounds were being salted.

In this way, no matter how much Ma Jian makes trouble, he doesn't want to be questioned by the palace. And with his identity, even if he goes to the battlefield, a large number of people are staring at him for protection.

The death index has plummeted, and the probability of sudden death is basically gone. This made Ma Jian extremely uncomfortable, and every day in addition to calling the two little cubs of the Zhao family was to scold the street to the sky.

The only thing that made Ma Jian feel a little relieved should be the letter given to him by the Prime Minister's Mansion that the third Northern Expedition this autumn is underway.

The original plan was to wait another year, but because Ma Tan was messing around in Guanzhong, Guanzhong was broken. Guanzhong couldn't use his strength for a short time, and the threat to Longyou was already minimal.

The most important thing is that Cao Wei's general Cao Zhen was already seriously ill at this time, and he was about to lose his breath. If Cao Zhen dies, there will be civil strife in Guanzhong in a short time, and Guanzhong will not pose much threat until the new Northwest Commander takes office.

In addition, Shuzhong has had bumper harvests year after year, and the treasury has been quite full of grain in the past two years. Therefore, the Prime Minister's Office made a decision to launch the Third Northern Expedition at the end of the autumn harvest three months later.

In this battle, Ma Jian will get the opportunity to lead the army alone. This is good news for Ma Yan, after all, when the time comes, it will be good to assign a large army to encircle and lead a small force to attack head-on.

As for the position of the crown prince and the prince, Liu Chan did not urge him to take office. In this regard, Ma Jian is also happy to be idle, and first teach Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong well.

It is worth mentioning that the crown prince Liu Xuan has a relatively mild personality and is not a martial artist. In Ma Yan's opinion, such a prince is not a good choice.

After all, when Liu Chan abdicates, it is estimated that the Han will be unified. Successive wars require recuperation, and it is not a good choice if the monarch is a good soldier.

Just when Ma Jian was teaching Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong to familiarize himself with the art of war, suddenly his butler walked in.

"Head of ......"

"Didn't you say that if anyone came to visit, they were all out of the way?" Ma Tan had a headache when he saw the housekeeper come in, which one came to visit.

"Uh...... The head of the house, this time I didn't come to visit, but I came to ask for help......" The head of the house stopped talking, but thought about the people outside the door and then said.

"Outside the door, a man who looks like a warrior is outside, seemingly seriously ill, begging the head of the family to save his life......"

"Warriors? Sicken? Ma Tan was a little confused, but soon a name flashed in his mind, and he instantly sobered up.

"Holy! It's Zhang Wei! ”
