Zhuge Liang was unable to enter because of Sima Yi's close pressing, and he delayed with him for more than half a month. Although it didn't take long, it was enough to play a role.

In half a month, tens of thousands of strong soldiers in Xiping County have been completely wiped out.

Zhuge Liang is very satisfied with this, just because there is a shortage of people on the frontal battlefield, it is time to let Yu Chang go to the top of the main battlefield.

Ma Yan's military talents and military achievements have increased at a visible rate in recent years, and his qualifications in the army have almost been run-in. Zhuge Liang has already made a plan to finish this battle, and it is time for Ma Jian to be promoted to the general of the four expeditions and four towns to defend one side.

Seniority in the military is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it is extremely important. Ma Tan has been making military contributions in the past few years, and he is basically grinding his qualifications.

So far, the qualifications are enough, and it's time to take the big picture.

Zhuge Liang quickly sent an order to Ma Jian and asked him to lead his troops north to follow the main force to fight against Sima Yi. At the same time, good news came from all other directions.

Wei Yan's side was as steady as ever, and he stopped in front of Chen Tai with 10,000 soldiers and horses. Chen Tai could not win with three times the number of troops, but was broken by Wei Yan in a battle and pushed back for nearly a hundred miles.

The Qianghu people in the north did not make much progress, and the army attacked Yuzhong, but was stopped by Wang Ping, a famous general in Shuzhong. Five thousand soldiers guarded the place, and tens of thousands of Humas were not allowed to pass.

The Shu army was victorious on all fronts, repulsing a series of arrangements by Sima Yi. The grain route of Jincheng County has been basically consolidated, and the logistics of the army have not been threatened at all.

Cheng is very satisfied with this.

After Ma Tan received Zhuge Liang's order, he was suddenly a little surprised.

"Is the pinnacle battle between the prime minister and the old thief finally begin?" Ma Tan was a little excited, and immediately took the military order and quickly led the troops north.

You must know that the first round of confrontation between the prime minister and Sima Yi in the late Three Kingdoms period in history is a great highlight. King Sima Xuan attacked the Shu army in Lucheng on both sides, and as a result, he was beaten out of the first three thousand.

I just don't know how many heads the prime minister can capture this time?

It's also strange to look forward to.

At the same time, when Ma Tan led his troops north, Sima Yi in the Wei army camp was shocked and angry in the face of battle reports from other fronts.

"I have arranged a siege in many directions, and there are 100,000 people in the end, and so far nothing has been done?" When Sima Yi saw this battle report, it was as if he had eaten a lump of Ollie, and his stomach kept churning.

30,000 Qiang soldiers, 30,000 Guanzhong reinforcements, plus 40,000 Hu cavalry, but they didn't fight the 30,000 Shu army?

Who believes this!

"It turns out that the gap between the Northwest Theater of Great Wei and the Shu Army is already so big?" Faced with this situation, Sima Yi couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, feeling that the change was so fast.

When Cao Cao entered Hanzhong with Cao Cao that year, the Shu army was still the weak brigade that relied on the terrain to resist the Wei army. It's good now, except for himself, who hasn't seen a win or defeat along the way, and the other roads have no record at all.

It turns out that the emperor is the only superstar myself, so let's go on it myself.

From this moment on, Sima Yi understood the gap between his colleagues and himself. If he doesn't get up to most things, I'm afraid he will be messed up by his colleagues.

Fortunately, Sima Yi still has the last hand, and the messenger came back to report that it was almost there.

The next thing is to wait for the back hand to play, and personally go down to the decisive battle with the Shu army.

…………

…………

…………

In an instant, more than ten days, Ma Jian arrived at Cangsong, the confrontation site of Wei Shu, with his cavalry.

At this time, the 30,000 Shu army and the 40,000 Wei army had been facing each other for nearly a month. Zhuge Liang was stationed on a high ground south of Cangsong, while Sima Yi camped east of the Shu army.

Both sides were fully prepared, and the atmosphere on the battlefield was a little thicker.

But no one made the first move, waiting for the other party's move.

Ma Tan led the troops into the Shu army camp and went straight to the Chinese army account to meet Zhuge Liang.

"Prime Minister! Fortunately, he has broken the enemy of Xiping! Ma Jian arched his hand and saluted Zhuge Liang.

"Well done, young man, I really didn't see the wrong person back then." Zhuge Liang smiled and put down the military affairs he was guarding, and said with a kind face.

Now Ma Tan's treatment on Zhuge Liang's side has always been over-specified. At least except for Ma Yan, no one has made the prime minister raise his head from government affairs.

Yang Yi can't either.

"Prime Minister, I heard that the Wei army has been pressing closely, but it is not fighting with our army?" After a report on the work, Ma Jian asked Zhuge Liang.

"Why don't you find a way to cut off the grain route and force the Wei army to take the initiative to fight?"

"Naturally, I am prepared, and I have already sent the guerrilla general Shu Ji to harass his grain routes. But Sima Yi is treacherous and protects the grain road very well, and we have not made any progress. Zhuge Liang shook his head, spread out the map and pointed to Ma Jian and said.

"In this way, Sima Yi has other back-hand ......" Ma Jian looked at it carefully, and quickly made a judgment after groaning slightly.

"How so?" Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows and said softly.

"If Sima Yi wants to demoralize our army, he should defend the city and lengthen our army's grain road in order to achieve great things. But now he has been pressing closely, but it seems to want to see our army, if there is no second-hand plan, the dog will not believe it. Ma Tan smiled and said directly.

"Now all the reinforcements in the east have been blocked out of Liangzhou, and Xiqiang in the south has also been pacified. If Sima Yi had any back-up, he would have to transfer troops from that place. ”

"Western Regions!" Zhuge Liang and Ma Tan looked at each other and smiled, and said two words at the same time.

As if to confirm the speculation of this pair of masters and apprentices, at this time, a detective horse entered from the outside and reported to Zhuge Liang.

"Prime Minister! According to General Shuji's report, a large number of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in the west, coming along the main road! ”

"Look, what are you talking about, Sima Yi's fox tail finally leaked out." Ma Tan said with great satisfaction.

"Yes, the battlefield experience in the past few years has not let you fall behind in the art of war, so I am relieved." Zhuge Liang pointed at Ma Jian with a feather fan, smiled and said.

"In that case, can you have the confidence to stop this soldier and horse for my army?"

"Isn't the prime minister already having a countermeasure?"

"That's nature." Zhuge Liang pointed to a hilly area on the map, and his expression gradually became positive.

"This place is located north of Cangsong, called Pingyang Hill, and it is the only way for the Western Regions coalition army and the Wei army to converge."

"I want to use a large army to intersperse between the two armies, and take the initiative to step into Sima Yi's two armies and provoke him to fight. But now there is a lack of a general to lead the troops to block the Western Regions coalition army for me, I don't know if I have this ability? ”

Hearing the prime minister's arrangement, Ma Jian instantly understood what the prime minister meant.

Like the Battle of Lucheng in history, the prime minister lowered his own advantages and stimulated you Sima Yi to take the initiative to fight. After all, my soldiers and horses have taken the initiative to let you attack from both sides, and you don't dare to fight, so just wait for your own soldiers to be low-spirited.

However, unlike in history, this time Zhuge Liang did not find Wang Ping to block the Wei army's deviation, but found Ma Yan.

Zhuge Liang is planning for their master and apprentice to break the main force of the Wei army back to back.

"The prime minister has spoken, and I naturally can't refuse!" At this moment, Ma Yan's expression became serious, he already understood the gold content of this battle, and he also put away all his playfulness.

This battle is the key to whether Shu Han can unify Yongliang and then conquer Guanzhong in the east.

"It is determined that the prime minister will guard the rear, and will not let the Wei army take a step forward!"

"If it doesn't work, you should degrade yourself and the common people, and you will not dare to die until you are 100 years old!"

It's New Year's Eve soon, and Shuzhong wishes you a happy New Year's Day in advance!
