Chapter 374: Total Victory

Under a series of ambushes by the Han army, the Wei army was quickly defeated. Cao Rui couldn't resist it, so he was forced to ride on his horse and escape by a small path under the escort of his close ministers.

However, even if he escaped from the battlefield, Cao Rui could not be said to be out of danger. Because when he fled back to the main camp under the escort of his close ministers, he saw that his own camp was burning with raging fire.

At the same time, countless Han soldiers were fighting with the Wei army's remaining troops in the camp.

"Even the big camp was attacked by the Shu army?" Cao Ruilian's face was pale, and she was terrified, so she hurriedly took her close ministers all the way to the east and continued to run wildly.

Along the way, there were sounds of arson and fighting of the Han army everywhere, and Cao Rui, who was frightened, did not dare to stop. The howling of the cold wind and the sound of birdsong were panicking Cao Rui sounded as if the Han army was rushing towards him, so he fled faster and faster.

fled until dawn, when suddenly a close minister stepped forward and grabbed Cao Rui's horse, stopping Cao Rui from continuing to run.

"Your Majesty......"

"Is my head there?"

"Your Majesty! The Shu army has retreated, and we are safe! ”

Under the appeasement of his close ministers, Cao Rui slowly recovered from his panic. However, Cao Rui, who had already been scared out of his nerves by this ambush by the Shu army, was tired,

"Withdraw! The whole army withdrew to Xudu! I can't fight with Ma Jian anymore! ”

Cao Rui, who was relieved, quickly issued an order to withdraw the army, and ordered all Wei troops to retreat on all fronts. Ma Jian is really terrible, I should go back to the central government and leave the military merits to the capable ministers.

In this battle, the Wei army lost thousands of casualties, trampled on each other, and countless people were missing.

However, the supreme commander of this battle was not Ma Tan, but Liu Yin left by Ma Tan. And the white-robed general that day was played by Ma Dai in disguise.

If Ma Jian was really present, even if Cao Rui ran on the trail, he probably wouldn't be able to run away.

After this battle, Cao Rui fled all the way, mixed with panic and panic, and his body quickly weakened. After returning to Xudu, he fell seriously ill and finally had to be sent back to Luoyang for treatment.

Cao Rui drove the first expedition in his life, and it ended like this.

As soon as Cao Rui left, the Wei army in Yingchuan began to go on the defensive on all fronts. Especially when I heard that Lu Xun in the south had returned from a big defeat, and Sun Li of Wancheng was also ambushed by Wei Yan at night, and his soldiers and horses were damaged countless times. Sikong Chen Qun, who took over, therefore ordered the Wei army to go deep into the ditch and high the fortress, and insisted on carrying out the implementation to avoid fighting without fighting.

At the same time, after Liu Yin defeated Cao Rui once, he then led the main force of the Han army back to Kunyang. In the final analysis, his troops are still small after all, otherwise he may be able to conquer the entire territory of Yingchuan by taking advantage of the situation to counterattack at this time.

However, even if Yingchuan was not captured, it was already an excellent result for the Wei army to completely give up the counterattack on Nanyang.

After Liu Yin led the main force back to Nanyang, Sun Li and Guo Huai led the Chinese army back to Wuguan. And Zhu Ran, who was surrounded by Xiang Pet Wu Ban, Zhang He and others in Danshui, surrendered very smoothly without the slightest hesitation.

His retreat was cut off, there were few soldiers and little food, and there was no possibility of breaking through. In addition, it is not the first time that Zhu Ran has surrendered, and there is not so much psychological pressure, so it is very smooth.

Since then, from the beginning of the eleventh year of Jianxing, Ma Tan led 50,000 soldiers out of Wudang and started the fourth Northern Expedition. Until now, hundreds of thousands of troops have been fighting on the front line of Nanyang and Huainan for a year, and finally ended with the Han army occupying the entire Nanyang and the Wei army retreating to Yingchuan.

The war in Nanyang is basically over.

However, the battle in Nanyang is over, and the Yiling front line has not yet ended.

After Ma Tan burned the Yaoting and Sun Huan killed himself, the army successfully captured the Yaoting. At the same time, Fei Yi, who returned to Zigui, also got the news and led the army into Yiling.

There was Ma Jian in front and Fei Yi in the back, and the remaining Wu army in Yiling City fell into a situation where the dragons were leaderless. Zhu Ji, who was detained, had to stand up at this time, gather the army's hearts and try to hold on.

He was still somewhat loyal to Soochow, but even then he still did not surrender to Ma Yan.

But there are some things that don't mean you don't want to. This thing is just like high math, no matter how urgent it is, it doesn't work.

Yiling City was besieged for ten days, Zhu Ji ran out of food, and Wu Junjun was disheartened and had no intention of fighting. With no hope in sight, Zhu Ji made a three-chapter agreement with the Han army in despair, and then asked Ma Jian to surrender.

After surrendering, Zhu Ji also planned to kill himself and apologize to Sun Quan, but was persuaded by Ma Jian to come down. Your father has already surrendered, and your Zhu family doesn't owe Sun Quan anything, what kind of situation are you in here.

In the direction of Wuling, Wu General Wei Wen heard that Lu Xun and Sun Huan had lost one after another, and immediately led the army to retreat to Changsha. Since then, the 100,000 troops of Eastern Wu, except for the 30,000 troops in Jingnan, have been spared, and the rest of the soldiers and horses have been almost wiped out!

At this point, the war in Jingzhou was basically calmed, and Ma Jian relied on his unrivaled fighting style to snatch Nanyang from the capture of Wei and Wu!

"Go and report the good news to the prime minister, the southern sunshine is restored! Next year, as long as the grain is sufficient, the Northern Expedition will be unimpeded! Ma Tan was very satisfied with this, although he didn't succeed in dying, but it was quite happy to snatch Nanyang after a year of bloody fighting.

The only thing that made Ma Tan a little frightened was that this time he died a little more frequently. And most importantly, he didn't succeed in his death, and now what he needs to face is how to explain it to the prime minister.

Before setting out on the expedition, Prime Minister Zhuge warned him that if he took any more risks, he would smoke his ......

But it's been a year of fighting, and the prime minister should have forgotten that sentence.

Maybe......

When Ma Tan basically ended the Nanyang War and began to divide troops to consolidate the passes in Nanyang, the battle in Guanzhong also underwent tremendous changes.

At the most difficult moment when Ma Tan fought Yingchuan, Zhuge Liang took Chen Shi as the vanguard, suddenly crossed the Weishui and camped against the water. Sima Yi, who was frightened by this accident, hurriedly transferred Sima Shi back from Wuguan and assigned the main force to surround the Han army, intending to drive the Han army away in a quick battle.

However, Sima Yi obviously underestimated Zhuge Liang's defensive level, as a famous military formation master in the late Three Kingdoms, if Zhuge Liang wanted to defend it, even if Ma Jian came, it would be useless.

30,000 Han troops set up camp with their backs to Weishui, and Sima Yi led 100,000 troops to besiege them on all sides for several days, but the Han army remained immovable.

In the north, the cavalry of Jiang Weishuji, Zhang Wei and other troops were pinned, so that Chen Tai did not dare to threaten the Han army's grain route to the west. This also allowed Zhuge Liang to rest assured that he was camping with his back to Weishui, but Sima Yi was helpless.

The two sides were deadlocked for more than 100 days, and Sima Yi kept sending people to provoke the Shu army, hoping to lead Zhuge Liang into battle. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang would have been standing there, and Sima Yi would not have been able to spare his hand to continue to support Nanyang.

However, it is obvious that Sima Yi's provocations have all been lost on Zhuge Liang's side, and they cannot be read back. Sima Yi, who was as immobile as a mountain, felt the feelings of the prime minister in history for the first time.

How could this man be so angry?

Just when Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang were facing each other like this, the final result came back from the direction of Nanyang, and Nanyang's surname was Liu.
