Chen Tai obviously underestimated the extent of Ma Tan's risk, he never expected that in order to ambush him, Ma Tan would travel hundreds of miles to ambush him so far away.

And it was also calculated that he Chen Tai would take a small road to escape, and he was specially ambushed at the exit of the mountain road in Beigu.

As a result, 20,000 Wei troops entered the Han army's ambush circle unsuspectingly, and then were fired by the Han army's crossbow arrows. Under the blow of arrows and rolling stones, the Wei army was in chaos on the narrow mountain road, trampling on each other, resulting in many deaths.

In fact, Ma Jian only brought 800 foot soldiers and hundreds of strong crossbows, and he was not yet capable of inflicting a great blow. However, because of the dense mountains and forests near Beigu, the Wei army was blocked on the mountain road and could not advance or retreat, and a large number of soldiers died at the feet of their own people.

In the end, Chen Tai was hit by an arrow in the knee and escaped from the Valley of the Stele under the desperate cover of his own soldiers. The rest of the Wei army lost most of its losses, the establishment collapsed rapidly, and the whole army was in chaos, and most of the casualties were imposed.

At the time of the post-war inventory, the Han army won hundreds of armor heads, thousands of Xuanjia leaders, and thousands of other heads. According to a rough estimate, at least 7,000 of the 20,000 Wei troops under the command of Chen Tai were buried in the Bei Valley.

The only thing that made Ma Tan regret was that he had already run away before he could catch up with Chen Tai. The speed of the escape was not at all like an arrow in the knee, and the walk was like flying.

Chen Tai's 20,000 main forces were basically dispersed, but the generals he sent to Gao Lu to send them to death returned safely. When the 3,000 soldiers and horses arrived at the foot of Gaolu City, Ma Tan's remaining troops quickly withdrew, and this general retreated eastward along the main road in fear, but instead kept some of the Wei soldiers.

I don't know if Chen Tai was angry in Linjin after more than half of the troops were killed and wounded, and the whole army was dispersed, he would be angry when he saw that the generals who should have died brought the troops back completely.

The 20,000 Wei troops stationed in Weibei suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Beigu after a roundabout journey.

At the same time, the main force of the Han army west of the Shen River finally saw through the bluff of the Wei army. Except for Liu Yin who led his troops to stay in Weinan and prepare to hold the beachhead that Ma Jian desperately established, the rest of the generals led their troops to launch a comprehensive attack on Guanzhong Beidi County.

The old, weak, sick and disabled people left behind by Chen Tai were obviously unable to resist, and the defense line of the Shenhe River was quickly broken through.

After the 30,000 Han army broke through the Shen River, the county towns of Beidi County quickly surrendered.

These Guanzhong clans have long been separated from Cao Wei and have been eyebrow-eyeing Shu Han for a long time. Now that the Han army has finally arrived, the people of the wealthy clan in Guanzhong have all opened their doors to welcome the king.

There is no way, you Cao Wei opened the Jiupin Zhongzheng system in order to collect the right to conquer the world. This is very friendly to the Kanto family, but where did you put our Guanzhong family?

Since Cao Wei did not give room for progress, the Guanzhong clan was naturally unwilling to support it.

In just half a month, all the counties and counties of Weibei opened their city gates to the Han army without a sound. Except for Xiao Pass, which is connected to Shangjun in the north, which is still holding on, the Weibei Prefectures have basically been pacified.

The rapid progress of the Han army in Weibei once again dealt a heavy blow to Sima Yi in Chang'an. After receiving this battle report, Sima Yi fell silent.

It's really TM too fast! It's an army of 20,000, even if you fight and retreat, you won't lose so badly, right?

Beidi County was lost, and the road to Tongguan east of Lishan was all exposed to the Han army. Sima Yi also divided his troops to garrison the road to prevent his retreat from being cut off by Ma Tan.

Chen Tai is such a waste!

Sima Yi selectively forgot at this moment that he had been beaten by Ma Jian and basically wiped out.

But at this moment, Sima Yi has no time to complain about Chen Tai's waste, because the bad news is not limited to this.

Wancheng direction Han general Wu Ban led 20,000 troops from Shangluo, and the troops came to Wuguan City. Fei Yao did not have many troops at hand, and urgently asked Chang'an for help in the face of the Han army's offensive.

Once Wuguan is lost, the entire rear of Chang'an will not be safe. Sima Yi had to divide his troops to support Wuguan again, and now he had fewer troops at his disposal.

Looking at the overstretched troops in his hands, Sima Yi fell into endless melancholy. The Han army had only been out of Sichuan for a few months, and its own forces were already being consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Juxian, Wuguan, Yin, Lantian...... Troops are needed everywhere to guard against it. In the end, there were only 60,000 troops left in Chang'an under the equal share, which was almost less than Zhuge Liang's people on the other side.

In this case, how long can you keep it?

"What the hell is Dongwu doing over there! It's been a few months since the war started, why hasn't there been any movement at all! Do they still fantasize that the paper covenant can make Shu Han forget the enmity of Guan Yu in the past and share the world with him? ”

…………

It has been two months since the Han army's northern expedition to Guanzhong, and the 120,000 Han troops are attacking the defense line in the storm. In this case, the inevitable strength of the eastern defense line of Shu Han began to be scarce.

But so far, there has been no movement on the Soochow side. Not to mention preparing to backstab, even the main force of the Wu army is still stationed in Chaisang, and there is no idea of advancing eastward.

This is not because Sun Quan's conscience discovered it, after all, with the current domestic situation in Soochow, he is not capable of doing things at all.

He is relatively busy, and has been busy rectifying the chaos within Yangzhou.

Because 50,000 people were captured by Shu Han in one go last year, in order to redeem the tribe, Sun Quan also paid a million stone of grain to the west, and in the end only 30,000 people were redeemed.

The defeat in the battle and the loss of troops and generals are unbearable, even the great unified dynasty cannot bear such a situation, let alone the grass-roots team regime of Eastern Wu. The delicate balance within Eastern Wu, which Sun Quan had worked so hard to maintain, was quickly shattered, and a large number of dissatisfied families began to make trouble.

Sun Quan is now not only unable to send troops to backstab Shu Han, but needs to camp the army in Yangzhou to deter the families. And he himself had to desperately find a way to balance and clean up the disobedient clans, and he was so busy that he flew for a while.

If Shu Han dragged on the Northern Expedition for a year, Sun Quan would probably have finished dealing with these internal affairs. However, the Shuhan side was almost seamless, and the second Northern Expedition was quickly launched in half a year.

There was no way, Sun Quan could only watch Shu Han's rapid progress on the front line of Guanzhong, but he couldn't use any strength.

This feeling of powerlessness made Sun Quan very unhappy, he didn't want the Shu Han Northern Expedition to succeed and then settle accounts with him after the autumn.

So, after Sun Quan finally suppressed a wave of riots in the big clan, he sent someone to call Lu Xun to suggest, hoping to ask if there was a way to cause some trouble for Shu Han.

Lu Xun did not dare to slack off when he received Sun Quan's summons, and hurriedly returned to Jianye from the Chaisang Water Army camp, and quickly met Sun Quan.

"See the Supreme!" After meeting Sun Quan, Lu Xun found that Wu Hou looked very tired, obviously tormented by the internal turmoil in Eastern Wu.

"Bo Yan! Lone called you this time, you should know what it means. Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun with blazing eyes, and said calmly,

"The Western Shu army in the west has reached Guanzhong and is fighting with the Wei army in Weishui. And now that the troops cannot be transferred westward, I want to ask, is there a way to make some trouble for Xishu? ”
