After arranging everything, Ma Jian then led his troops north from Xinye again in November to return to the Kunyang front platform.

At this moment, Cao Wei's Kwantung Army gathered in Yingchuan County, with more than 100,000 troops, and Cao Rui personally marched to the front line of Xudu.

As for Shu Han, 20,000 troops have just been transferred from Wancheng to help, and the total number of troops on the front line is only 30,000. Wang Ping led his headquarters to guard Kunyang and stationed the main force in Yexian, so as to form a horn trend.

The Wei army and the Shu army faced off in a tense confrontation across the thorny water, but neither of them launched an attack.

The 100,000 Wei army and the 30,000 Shu army began a sit-in battle. What was supposed to be a bloody battle turned into a big-eyed stare at the moment.

By the time Ma Jian came to Kunyang in person, Wang Ping had been fighting against the Wei army for more than a month. From the initial atmosphere to the present, the two sides are not so tense for the time being.

"General Ma is mighty! The first war annihilated the 70,000 army of the puppet Wei, causing the puppet Wei to be terrified! When Wang Ping saw Ma Jian coming, he immediately walked up with a smile and congratulated Ma Tan.

"If it weren't for the general's big defeat of the Wei army in Runan, the Wei army on the opposite side would have reached Yexian County by now."

"The Wei army has been on the other side of the thorny water, and hasn't come here yet?" Ma Tan looked at the outside of Kunyang City with some surprise, and the calmness here made Ma Tan a little unbelievable.

It stands to reason that the Wei army has 100,000 people, so why do you have to test it, right? Now looking at the deep ditch and high base of the Wei army on the opposite side, it seems that he is afraid that they will fight past.

"It's always on the other side, and they don't dare to come." Wang Ping smiled, his expression more relaxed.

"Two months ago was the most fierce offensive of the Wei army, 50,000 or 60,000 people took turns to attack the city, and besieged Kunyang for three days and three nights. At that time, a certain leader led his guards to fight at the head of the city for two nights, and finally almost let the Wei army rush up. ”

"But now, with the deterrence of the general in Kunyang, even if the Wei army is several times larger than mine, I will never dare to attack rashly."

"What's more, it is reported that the puppet emperor Cao Rui will arrive in Xudu in the near future, and the entire Yingchuan Wei army is on high alert. For at least a month or two, the Wei army would never dare to cross the thorny waters to attack. ”

"It is said that now as soon as the Wei soldiers see General Ma's banner, they are scared and want to go first. There is also a nursery rhyme in Yingchuan, which is called "Famous teachers and generals are not imprisoned, and thousands of arrows avoid white robes" to describe the general. ”

"So I'm so scary?" The corners of Ma Yan's mouth twitched slightly, feeling as if he was famous this time.

In the past, there was no shortage of horses with thousands of records, and the most conspicuous thing was that thousands of cavalry broke through the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Biqiu Jian.

However, most of those who fought against the second-line soldiers and horses of the Wei army, and the real elite horses rarely encountered them. Even during the Northern Expedition to Liangzhou, the elite who really defeated Sima Yi's headquarters was Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, and it had little to do with Ma Yan.

So at that time, Ma Tan's reputation was not so scary, at most, it was just a Shu general who could fight.

However, in the battle of Runan, Ma Tan fought a little ruthlessly, not only annihilating all the elites of Cao Wei and Huainan's army, but also annihilating tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Hebei.

That's the elite of Huainan, that's the strong army of Hebei! The 30,000 people led by Wang Ling had just driven Sun Quan home to see the children under the command of Man Chong a few years ago.

As a result, against Ma Tan, there are basically few who can survive.

Because of this, 100,000 Wei troops huddled in the territory of Yingchuan, not to mention Kunyang, and even Runan did not dare to enter. The generals of the Wei army were afraid that they were leading the troops to walk, and suddenly a big white mouse came out from the side and wiped out their regiment.

Ma Jian didn't know all this very clearly, and it wasn't until Wang Ping explained it to him in detail that he gradually understood. Now Cao Wei is in a panic of Ma Yan, and he is going to die under the deterrence.

After everything was understood, a very bold idea suddenly appeared in Ma Tan's mind.

"So General, we just need to hold the Kunyang Pass tightly and not clash with the Wei army. At least ...... under your deterrence"

"Zijun, how about you say that we take the initiative to attack the Wei army now?" Before Wang Ping finished speaking, Ma Jian suddenly spoke, and a sentence made Wang Ping almost fall out of his seat.

"What? General, what did you just say...... Take the initiative to attack? Wang Ping looked at Ma Jian in disbelief, and suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"That's right, take the initiative." Ma Tan nodded slightly, pointed at Yingchuan and said seriously.

"This is the Tuntian region of the pseudo-Wei Dynasty, the place where Cao Cao started. Until now, Yingchuan still has more than 100,000 tuntians, and a large number of tuntianzhuang directly under the government. ”

"These are all blood transfusions for the pseudo-Wei, so that they can maintain a large number of soldiers and horses to fight a protracted war."

"Our family is weak, our troops are scarce, and we are short of food and grass, so if we really start a war of attrition, we are not opponents at all. So if we can, we should find a way to enter Yingchuan and destroy their tuntianzhuang as much as possible. ”

Seeing that his general was ashamed to consider how to destroy the enemy's base by entering Yingchuan, Wang Ping fell into a deep silence.

Why is General Zhengbei so confident? He doesn't know that we have 30,000 at most, and it's good enough to be able to defend at all? If we take the initiative to attack, let the Wei army see through our hypocrisy and reality, how to fight this battle.

However, Ma Jian did not give Wang Ping much chance to react, his biggest advantage is absolute decisiveness. After making a judgment and having an idea, it will quickly make a decision.

Since the Wei army can't come to fight us, there is no way, let's cross the river and smoke them!

"Hugh, pass on my order, the whole army will rest for a few days, and assemble in Kunyang after seven days. At that time, the whole army will cross the river and march to Yingchuan, and we will go to the other side of the river to fight the Wei army! ”

"Yui!" Liu Yin did not hesitate at all, and quickly responded.

"Don't worry, General, all the troops will be assembled within seven days."

In this regard, Wang Ping's whole person is not good, he found that General Ma has not changed at all after so many years.

The goal can be basically achieved by honestly fighting the war step by step, but as a result, the young general has to go to the difficulty himself to challenge the difficult challenge.

Well...... But it seems that he has not lost the challenge.

"That's it, let's wait for the prime minister to decide."

…………

…………

…………

Ma Tan then rested in Kunyang for a few days, and seven days later Liu Yin and Wang Ping gathered more than 30,000 Han troops in Kunyang.

Ma Jian directly left 10,000 troops to continue to defend Kunyang, led the Han army of 25,000, and began to build bridges in front of the Wei army and forcibly cross the thorny water.

To take the initiative to attack an army of 100,000 with 25,000 men, it has to be said that it takes courage and confidence. Obviously, Ma Jian is not lacking in these two things, especially after the Megatron Huaxia, Ma Jian doesn't know what to fear.

The battle of Yingchuan is about to begin.
