In December, Liang retreated from Guanzhong to Yongzhou, transported it with wooden oxen, and shot and killed him in the broken valley.

After solving Zhong Xuan's pursuers, Zhuge Liang completed this feint attack to make a big gain. But Zhuge Liang was not happy about this, but looked very serious.

Zhong Xuan's prestige to the military and civilians in Guanzhong is an indispensable pillar of Guanzhong. If this kind of talent is changed to Shu Han, it will definitely be supplied, and he is stronger than anything else in Guanzhong.

But such a talent was unloaded and killed by a donkey, and was forced to death by Sima Yi. From this incident, Zhuge Liang can profoundly see how ruthless Sima Yi's opponent is.

This is a very ruthless opponent, and I still don't pay enough attention to it.

After ordering someone to collect and bury Zhong Xuan, Zhuge Liang then led his troops to return west and withdrew to Fufeng County. Jiang Weishuji and other troops also returned to Beidi County, and the Fourth Northern Expedition of Shu Han officially ended.

This Northern Expedition was the most intense battle in the history of Shu Han, with as many as 100,000 soldiers and horses dispatched before and after. The two sides began to fight at the beginning of the eleventh year of Jianxing and fought until the end of the year.

The three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu all invested troops in large quantities, and in just one year, more than 400,000 troops were put into the battlefield.

However, the final result was good, Ma Tan experienced a series of dangerous battles in Nanyang, and forcibly swallowed Nanyang under the capture of Wei Wu. And after the melee, although the Han army suffered huge losses, the harvest was also extremely rich, even the moment Zhuge Liang received the battle report, it was extremely shocking.

But speaking of horses......

Zhuge Liang calmed down again and looked at Yang Yi who was standing aside,

"Wei Gong, have you finished the matter I told you before?"

"Prime Minister, the chicken feathers and peach sticks you need are ready, I just don't know ......" Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, quickly reacted, and arched his hand and said,

"Bring it to me, it's still early, and there aren't many government affairs during this time, so it's time to prepare a gift for Youchang." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and calmly shook the feather fan and smiled.

Gift?

Yang Yi frowned, and became more and more displeased with Ma Yan, how could he let Cheng Lian not handle official affairs and personally prepare gifts for him?

Just because he can fight? What's the use of him fighting, don't I have credit for his achievements?

Too!

At the same time, Ma Yan, who was in Xinye, suddenly shivered, feeling as if he was being remembered.

"What's the situation? How do you feel that something is wrong? Ma Tan scratched his head, a little confused for a while.

It feels ...... It's like he's having trouble with his ass?

It must be an illusion! I am a dignified general of the Han Dynasty to conquer the north, and I have just made immortal achievements, who dares to smoke me!

"General Ma, all the battle reports have been counted." At this time, Liu Yin pushed the door in, and saw Ma Yan's inexplicable expression, which was a little strange.

"We have captured a total of nearly 50,000 Eastern Wu, dozens of generals and captains, and the top general is Zhu Ran."

"There are more than 100,000 people who moved back from Yingchuan, and ......more than 40,000 soldiers and horses surrendered to Xiangfan Wancheng."

Liu Yin listed them one by one for Ma Yan, and the superposition of the various harvests was very scary. It is roughly estimated that as long as Shu Han can digest Nanyang, he can probably expand the army by 50,000 or 60,000 people, which can be described as a bumper harvest.

In short, in a word, Shu Han gained a lot in this battle, and Ma Jian made a fortune.

However, Ma Jian was not interested in these, and just said lightly after listening to it,

"I'm not good at handling these things, so I'll gather them and send them to Chengdu, and let Jiang Changshi and Fei Shangshu take care of them."

"Speaking of which, it's been a year of fighting, and I have to prepare to go to Chengdu to report and rest. Next year, the prime minister will be going to smash the country into Guanzhong, and I can't miss it. ”

Now in Shuzhong, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, and Dong Yun are working together, and the work efficiency is not much better than that of the prime minister. Let them be responsible for this, they can digest Nanyang as quickly and efficiently as possible, and use the nutrients obtained to enhance the strength of the Han army itself.

And next year will be the last moment of the Guanzhong War set by the prime minister himself, and then Shu Han will launch the Northern Expedition with all his strength. Ma Tan didn't want to affect his death behavior in Guanzhong because of this incident in Nanyang.

However, although Ma Yan was in a hurry, Liu Yin said that you don't have to worry first, there are still things for you to deal with.

"General, I'm afraid you can't leave Nanyang yet, someone from Dongwu is coming." Liu Yin waved his hand, grabbed Ma Jian and reported to him.

"Soochow is here? Those rats must have come to write a war letter, right? As soon as he heard that Dongwu was coming, Ma Jian suddenly couldn't help laughing.

To be honest, Ma Jian still has to thank Dongwu, because their rash backstab gave Cao Rui courage. As a result, Cao Rui rashly pursued under the encouragement of Eastern Wu, and was defeated by Liu Yin in a battle, completely losing the ability to threaten Kunyang.

If there is no Soochow, it is estimated that Ma Tan will have to confront Cao Rui in Yingchuan until next year.

"It is estimated that he is here to ransom people, and he is ready to ransom the captives like the puppet Wei side some time ago." Liu Yin replied with a smile, and for a while the air in the room was active and cheerful.

In the first battle of Nanyang, Shu Han captured nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses of Wei and Wu with 70,000 soldiers and horses. With such a big loss, even Cao Wei was a little broken, let alone Dongwu.

A few days ago, someone from the puppet Wei side came and demanded the ransom of all the prisoners. But Ma Tan detained all the prisoners of war and only exchanged Cao Shuang and Qin Lang back.

Are you kidding so many soldiers, do you want to arm yourself and continue to fight against my big man?

It would be a loss to return the two useless hostages.

However, for Dongwu, Ma Yan's attitude is completely different. After all, Ma Tan didn't think that Dongwu, with an army of more than 50,000 troops, would pose much of a threat to Shu Han.

Maybe he can make Sun Quan swell a little, and then come to give away someone's head.

"Who is the envoy of Soochow? I happened to see it. ”

"It's Zhuge Jin's son, Zhuge Prime Minister's nephew, Zhuge Ke." Liu Yin replied.

"Zhuge Ke...... Let him in. Ma Tan narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering slightly.

Zhuge Ke is also a historical celebrity, and this is also quite heroic as the last hawk in Eastern Wu.

Then, under the guidance of the guards, he brought a relatively young scribe to the house.

"Zhuge Ke of Eastern Wu, see General of the Great Han Expedition to the North!"

His expression was extremely humble, and his attitude was almost pleading.

There is no way, the situation is stronger than people, tens of thousands of troops were captured at once, if this cannot be redeemed, Dongwu is not far from destruction!

"Zhuge Ke is at your feet?" Ma Yan looked at the prime minister's nephew and nodded slightly,

"You came on the orders of the rebellious Marquis Wu, right? I don't know why I came? ”
