Nine years of Jianxing, this is destined to be an extraordinary year. Whether it is the original history or the present, it is a year that determines the fate of the Northwest.

Two months after the soldiers went out of the slope, Zhuge Liang led more than 40,000 Shu troops to take the Qishan Road again, and the troops went out of Qishan.

Yongzhou Thorn Shi Fei Yi immediately went out to greet him, quickly handed over the grain station, and handed over Longyou to Zhuge Liang for processing.

Four years ago, Zhuge Liang led the Northern Expedition and went out of Qishan to defeat the five counties of Longyou. At that time, this area was still dilapidated, chaotic, and there was basically no perfect place.

However, when he came out of Qishan again this time, Longyou had already changed his style.

From Xixian to Pingxiang, the entire Longxi Plateau has been fully developed. Vast expanses of fields that have just been ploughed in the autumn are being walked by countless farmers.

The Qiang people who made a rebellion were almost extinct, and they either became farmers in this field or fertilizer in this field......

I have to say that Fei Yi can be appreciated by Zhuge Liang, and this ability is definitely not bad. After all, it is not something that ordinary people can do to be able to govern the broken Longyou like this in three years.

"Fei Yi see the prime minister!" Fei Yi bowed to Zhuge Liang.

"Wen Wei has worked hard in the past few years, and it is also difficult to govern Longyou like this." Zhuge Liang was very satisfied with Longyou's current situation, and helped Fei Yi up with a smile.

"Serving the country is not hard." Fei Yi replied honestly.

"Okay, Wen Wei is really a talent in the community!"

Just when Zhuge Liang met with Fei Yi and took over Yongzhou to prepare for the Wei Northern Expedition, Ma Tan was also blocked.

"O envoy! You've finally come back to see us! A tanned lieutenant stopped Ma Tan and shouted loudly.

"I test, where did the introduction of talents!" Ma Tan, who was distracted, was startled, but when he looked at him, he was stunned.

"Wait, you're Yao Hu?"

"Do you remember something? The former general said goodbye without saying goodbye, and Yao didn't have time to chase after him! Yao Hu burst into tears, thinking about the experience of the past two years, he couldn't help but feel that it was not easy for him.

At the same time, another scribe, who was also dark-skinned, followed, and almost cried when he saw Ma Yan.

"Envoy, I haven't seen you for three years, are you okay?"

This is Li Mu, who succeeded Ma Tan as the Taishou of Longxi, and he also suffered an old crime.

Ma Jian ran back before, left a lot of things in Longxi County to Li Mu, and went to beat Wu Lao Er by himself. Li Mu followed a large number of drawings left by Ma Tan and built water conservancy in Longyou step by step.

There were too many hardships and dangers that they had to overcome by themselves, and several times the Qiang Chaos almost killed Yao Hu and Li Mu.

After all, the Qiang people are afraid that it is the Shenwei General Ma Yan, what are you Li Mu Yao Hu?

Fortunately, Dou Hong, the king of Di who was captured before, did not harden his mouth and joined the Han army with the soldiers and horses of the Di tribe. With the support of the Di soldiers, the Han army suppressed the Qiang rebellion again and again.

Now that Ma Jian has finally returned, Li Mu Yaohu is like an abandoned little daughter-in-law, and her tears can't stop staying.

"Ahem...... Ziwen, thank you for your hard work. Ma Tan was a little embarrassed, it was indeed his unkindness to say goodbye at the beginning.

People wiped his buttocks, and Ma Jian ran to the Jingzhou battlefield to get away. Looking at the appearance of these two guys, it is estimated that they have suffered a lot of crimes.

"But after that, there is no need to suffer any more crimes, our prime minister will lead the troops to the Northern Expedition again. It won't be long before they are transferred back to Shuzhong to be reused. ”

"Alas...... There is nothing to complain about if you don't suffer a sin, and follow the way of a gentleman. Li Mu wiped his tears and said with a wry smile.

"Just tell us the next time you leave......"

"Next time by all means! By all means next time! Ma Jian repeatedly reassured, although I don't know how much credibility there is.

In general, the officials and generals on Longyou's side have not returned to Shu for three years. This time, the Shu army went out of Qishan for the second time, which made the officials and generals who stayed in Longyou very excited.

It's finally time for the Northern Expedition again, and finally you don't have to continue to retire here!

Wu Yi, Wei Yan, Yang Yi, Wang Ping and others all returned to the army. The troops recruited by Longyou training joined forces with the Shu army and began to move north.

Under the three-year operation, Longyou added more than 23,000 soldiers and horses to the Shu Han regime. Among them, there are 20,000 foot soldiers, and 3,000 Qiang cavalry, which can be described as a fortune!

Counting the soldiers and horses of the Ma Tan headquarters and the Hu cavalry gathered in Guanzhong, Shu Han already has 8,000 cavalry!

Seeing this data, Zhuge Liang smiled a little more.

"With this force, Kuang Fu Han Family, will it still be far from the old capital?"

"The first emperor is above, Liang can fulfill the promise of the past Longzhong!"

…………

In July, Zhuge Liang led 60,000 Shu troops into Anding County and joined up with Wei Yan, the general of Zhenbei. Tens of thousands of troops were stationed next to the Yellow River and began to threaten Jincheng County, the southernmost part of Liangzhou.

And the front line of Shuzhong and Hanzhong also began to be fully operational, transporting grain and grass for the Northern Expedition. Shu recruited a large number of people, and used the wooden cattle developed by Zhuge Liang as tools to transport a large amount of grain and grass to the north.

A large amount of grain and grass was transported from Shuzhong to Hanzhong, and then continuously transported from Hanzhong to Longyou. It will then be transported all the way to the front line by Longyou Minfu and provided to the frontline army.

Before and after, even the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, Shu Han mobilized a total of 150,000 men and horses!

With such a huge action, it is naturally impossible to hide it from Cao Wei and Dongwu. The scouts of the two countries sent the information back one after another, and it was soon delivered to the king's table.

Dongwu was cautious when he saw this situation, and Sun Quan always had some ideas.

However, Wuling was heavily defended by the first line, and the general did not give him a chance. And thinking about the eastward march of the Shu army last year, when the army almost came to Jiangling, Sun Quan put away that little bit of caution.

It's okay, time is still there, sooner or later there will be a chance.

If Dongwu's mood is still reluctant, Cao Wei's mood is completely crazy.

"Shu people, this is nothing else to do, is it? How do you get into the Kou every year, and this year you have entered the Kou twice in a row! ”

Cao Rui was about to be mad when he received the news, and he couldn't wait for the royal driver to go and smoke Zhuge Liang's two big mouths.

It's only been a few years, and your Shu army has gone on a northern expedition three times!

Three times! Three times!

Even the donkeys of the production team know to take a break, aren't you tired of fighting every day!

Even if you're not tired, you might as well give us some time to rest.

At this moment, Cao Rui hopes that the master and apprentice of Xishu will die sooner than everyone else, and stop coming to block him. If Zhuge Liang and Ma Tan don't die, there will never be a day of peace in the northwest of Cao Wei.

"Your Majesty! The general is now seriously ill and recuperating in Chang'an, and I am afraid that he will not be able to support Liangzhou. Sikong Chen Qun looked embarrassed and said to Cao Rui.

"And Liangzhou is tired, and consumes a lot of money and grain every year without practical significance. The ministers asked to give up Liangzhou, and withdraw to Guanzhong with Sima Yi, the assassin of Liangzhou, and supervise the military in Guanzhong. ”
