After Sima Yi withdrew to Weinan, the Han army quickly captured a large area of territory throughout Weibei. Ma Tan fought all the way to the Yanhe River, and then he ran into Chen Tai's obstruction.

The Han army quickly ate all the territory abandoned by Sima Yi, and successively gained a population of 100,000 and a thousand miles of land.

After stabilizing the newly occupied territory, Zhuge Liang did not rush to continue the attack. Instead, they divided their troops and stationed them in various passes around the tuntian, and then began to organize the tuntian in the occupied areas.

Because of years of war and the flight of the people, large areas of land in the area are terra nullius and all deserted. Zhuge Liang quickly sent people to clear the acres of tuntian, gathered the people and prepared to tuntian on the spot.

At the same time, a large number of second-line soldiers were assigned to clean up the wasteland, and the people were organized on the one hand, and the army was organized on the other.

There are many passes in Guanzhong, although Chang'an is dilapidated, but it is also the old capital, and it is basically impossible to capture it quickly. What's more, with Sima Yi's deployment and operational capabilities, the Han army basically did not have the ability to quickly capture the entire Guanzhong.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang had a clear idea this time, quickly captured the border of Guanzhong, and then started Tuntian on the spot.

Cultivate the fields under your nose and fight a protracted battle with you in a down-to-earth manner.

He had to eat it in the midst of the protracted confrontation, one bite at a time. Let Sima Yi watch being encroached upon, and finally had to withdraw his troops by himself.

Ma Jian already knew Zhuge Liang's plan, and quickly took control of the archives after capturing Huaili. When Zhuge Liang entered Huaili and began to organize Tuntian, he immediately got a full set of materials.

"How are you so proficient at controlling files?" Seeing that the information saved by Ma Tan was perfect, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked.

"The prime minister has an overreputation, and he can't talk about any proficiency, so he's used to it." Ma Yan smiled, waved his hand and said pretending not to care.

Since the beginning of Longxi Taishou, he has often encountered the matter of dealing with the wealthy clan, and the archives are the favorite of the local wealthy clans.

As a result, he has been dealing with the Hao family, and Ma Jian has almost instinctively, no matter how chaotic the situation is, Ma Jian will give priority to sending people to control the archives.

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything about this, just nodded lightly and said,

"It's a good job, and it's very beneficial to the next work in Tuntian."

"It's good that I'll be in charge of the affairs of Tuntian here, and then you will lead a soldier and horse to the east. Xinping, Beidi, Feng Yi and other places have not yet been conquered, and now you need to recover them! ”

"Prime Minister, when will you fight Chang'an......"

"Go ahead and carry out the military order first!"

"Okay!"

When Zhuge Liang's army entered Huaili and began to confront Tuntian across the Weishui with Sima Yi, Ma Jian also began to be ordered to settle Weibei.

After resting in Huaili for a few days, Ma Tan led the main force of the Han army to set off and began the journey to the east.

Zhuge Liang was still very generous to Ma Yan, and Jiang Weishuji and other old subordinates were all handed over to him. At the same time, it was not enough, and Zhang Yi and Zhang He were assigned to lead the Wudang Flying Army to accompany them, with a total of 40,000 elites.

The first to stop in front of Ma Tan was the 20,000 Wei army led by Yan He and Chen Tai.

Ma Tan's army approached the Yan River, and Ma Tan first sent scouts to investigate Chen Tai's reality.

After all, although Ma Tan likes to take risks, he is not brainless. He had to find out what the Wei army was doing, then make a reasonable deployment, and finally look for an opportunity to die in a safe area.

First to ensure that the Han army does not lose, then to find a strategy for victory, and finally to seek death.

Soon, however, the results of the scout's investigation disappointed Ma Yan.

Chen Tai didn't give him the slightest chance to raid.

Chen Tai, as the general who was the most drawn by Ma Tan in the Northwest Theater, was about to suffer from horse fear. Since the beginning of the Han Army's Northern Expedition to Guanzhong, his lieutenant general often heard Chen Tai wake up at night and chant Ma Tan's name in his mouth.

As soon as I lifted the quilt in the middle of the night, I found that everything was gone.

Especially this person who was also ordered by Sima Yi to guard in Weibei, which made Chen Tai even more frightened.

After the Han army conquered the defense line of Guanzhong Sanfu, Chen Tai gathered all the captains and generals overnight and built fortifications along the entire Shanhe River.

Therefore, under the scouts of the Han army, there were Wei army camps everywhere along the river for hundreds of miles. Not only were the antlers, chariots, and trenches well prepared, but even the roads and beacon towers were frantically mounted!

In the middle of two hundred miles, Chen Tai successively built more than ten camps, connected by Yongdao, and beacon towers were set up in all places. In this way, the Wei army could quickly support the attacked camps through the walled road, and the grain road could also be protected from cavalry attacks.

The entire east of the Shenhe River was almost built into a huge blockade by Chen Tai.

Seeing this posture, Ma Jian couldn't help but cry and laugh.

"How much shadow do I give Chen Tai in my heart, in order to prevent me from doing this?" Ma Jian looked at the battle report that came back, and shook his head a little speechlessly.

"That's natural, if I were Chen Tai, I would like to build a Great Wall on the spot." Jiang Wei followed behind Ma Yan, and when he heard this complaint, he immediately replied with a smile.

"A Great Wall may not be enough......" Liu Yin was on the side, and subconsciously continued.

All the generals were happy, and they laughed together with many nearby lieutenants.

Obviously, everyone enjoyed the feeling of the other being facing their own enemy. Especially the scene where I just touched my beard and even wrote a suicide note on the other side.

It's really TM comfortable!

"Okay, don't laugh, let me think about how to cross the river and defeat the enemy." Ma Jian was a little speechless, waved his hand to interrupt the group, and brought the topic back to the topic.

"Although Chen Tai's reaction is indeed interesting, the problem now is that it is really difficult for us to cross the river and attack."

"What exactly should I do to defeat Chen Tai smoothly?"

Ma Yan's inquiry made everyone stop laughing and start thinking about what to do.

Chen Tai did this a bit tricky, and blocked the possibility of the Han army forcibly crossing the river in terms of deployment.

In particular, the Yongdao built by Chen Tai was built almost next to the riverbank. Even if Ma Jian is very strong, there is really no room to play in that place.

Along the road all the way up, it is the ancient Xiaoguan Road, the terrain is dangerous and difficult to walk. And the main thing is......

Chen Tai also repaired the beacon tower here!

In other words, no matter where Ma Tan crossed the river from, he would be discovered by the Wei army as soon as possible. Chen Tai would then quickly mobilize troops to support and intercept the Han army crossing the river.

Obviously, as long as Ma Jian did not personally lead the team, other people would not be able to storm the Wei army camp at all.

"I have an idea."

At this time, Zhang He suddenly stood up, looked at Ma Yan and said.

"We can make a roundabout way and sneak up on Chen Tai from the rear."

"It's useless, from here all the way to Xiaoguan in Xinping County, even a mouse crossing the river Chen Tai can know." Ma Jian shook his head and replied subconsciously.

However, Zhang He's next sentence made Ma Jian pause suddenly.

"What if you take a detour from Weinan?"
