Chapter 431: The decisive battle is imminent

"I know the intentions of the Hongnong Yang family, and after the Guanzhong is recovered and the emperor of the Han Dynasty is returned to the old capital, I will definitely play the Yang family's merits to His Majesty!" After a deep sigh, Ma Jian nodded, and solemnly arched his hand to Yang Zhun.

Yang Zhun was grateful for this, and then thanked Ma Jian with his hand. The two sides soon negotiated a secret cooperation, and as soon as Guanzhong was recovered, they would immediately march into Hongnong.

At that time, the Yang family will raise affairs in Hongnong, relying on the status and influence of many years in Hongnong to support the recovery of the Han army. Even, Yang Zhun also took out a list written down by Longyou paper, on which there were many officials and generals of Cao Wei's Western Front.

"This is all the protégés of my Yang clan west of Hangu, if the general needs it, they can all serve the Han!" Yang Zhun promised as the eldest son of his own Yang family.

In the face of this petition, Ma Jian had to be moved, and couldn't help but sigh that the Yang family had really made a fortune.

Of course, this can also be seen from the side, how much Hongnong Yang hates Cao Wei. In order to let Shu Han quickly expel Cao Wei's forces from Guanzhong, the family's reliance has been taken out.

Of course, for the Yang family, joining the promising Shu Han at this moment is already the best choice. Not only is this the successor of the old club, but also because Shu Han is now extremely short of people, the Yang family can at least mix with the upper echelons.

Even if they are lucky, they can regain the position of high-ranking officials in the court after Ma Jian Zhuge Liang with an extremely strong family background. After all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and compared to the family heritage of Yizhou and Longyou, the Yang family is crushed in all directions.

So from the perspective of the Yang family, this is an excellent investment. Since this is the case, the Yang family is naturally extremely willing to spend money.

At the same time as negotiating with the Yang family to join the matter, the Han army also began to attack the land of Hebei in an orderly manner under the deployment of Ma Yan.

Because of Ma Tan's serious injury, the generals under him desperately did not let Ma Jian go to the battlefield again. Even in order to watch General Ma, Zhang Yi personally led people to stay with him 24 hours a day.

Under such care, and the injury did not allow him to forcibly break through Zhang Yi's care, Ma Jian couldn't find a chance to sneak away. In this way, the battle on the front line also fell into the hands of Zhang Heshuji and others.

In less than ten days, the Han army quickly conquered the entire territory south of Zhongtiao Mountain. In the north, Pujindu was captured, and the battle line was advanced to the boundary of Hedong County. To the south, it faces Hongnong County across the Yellow River, and the battle line stretches for hundreds of miles.

And at this moment, in the entire south of the Yellow River, only the Tongguan line is left with real troops.

Under these circumstances, it was only a matter of time before the Han army invaded Hongnong County and completely cut off the Qinguan Road. But at this time, Ma Jian received a messenger from Fufeng County.

The person who came was really an old acquaintance Deng Zhi, who came with the prime minister's warrant. But after seeing Ma Tan's injuries all over his body, Deng Zhi was almost frightened,

"You're ...... injured."

"Ahem...... I accidentally fell down and suffered a small injury, but it was not in the way. In the face of Deng Zhi's question, Ma Yan did not change his face and talked nonsense, and Deng Fan rolled his eyes when he listened.

If you fall, you can get knife wounds and gunshot wounds all over your body, right?

"Okay, it's a matter of the prime minister, now hurry up and cultivate for two days and go back to Huaili with me."

"Huh? The prime minister can't wait for the end of the war, and is he already planning to smoke me now? Ma Tan was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously asked.

"! The prime minister asked me to call you back, the war in Chang'an needs you! Deng Zhi's face darkened, slapped the table, and said angrily.

"Haven't you been talking about wanting to confront Sima Yi face to face? Now that the opportunity has come, hurry back to Fufeng County, and maybe you can just catch up with the siege of Chang'an. ”

"Siege of Chang'an? The prime minister has already fought Weinan? Ma Tan was taken aback, he hadn't paid attention to the situation in Guanzhong for a month or two, had it changed so much.

"Why didn't you fight Weinan? If you go late, it is estimated that Wuguan will be defeated. Talking about the changes in the battle situation, Deng Zhi suddenly became happy and said with a smile.

After Deng Zhi explained to Ma Jian in detail, Ma Jian understood that in the past month or so, not only has the front on his side advanced extremely fast, but the development of the battle situation in Guanzhong has been even faster.

At the same time as Zhang He led the troops to attack Linjin, the direction of Guanzhong changed. Zhuge Liang took Chen Shi as his general, led 10,000 troops to cross Weishui from Wugong, and began to storm Guo Huai and Sima Fu.

Because of the fierce Chen-style offensive, Sima Yi had to divide his troops to support again. Since then, most of the forces of the Wei army have been transferred to the battlefield on the northern front, and the hinterland of Chang'an is basically empty.

Until this time, Wei Yan, a hussar general who had not shown up on the Shu Han side, finally appeared.

Without any accidents, came out of the Meridian Valley.

Originally, the Wei army that Sima Yi arranged to guard in the Meridian Valley was enough to make Wei Yan hate it. However, due to the sudden increase in military pressure in the north and the serious shortage of troops, most of the Wei army near the Meridian Valley was also withdrawn.

When Wei Yan came out of the Meridian Valley with 5,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 people, the Wei army could not resist it at all. So Wei Yan took 5,000 elite soldiers of the Han army to stand out from the Meridian Valley and entered Weinan very smoothly.

Subsequently, Wei Yan showed a rare highlight in his career, defeating Wei General Sima Zhao in Lantian with 5,000 elite soldiers and beheading more than 4,000. Later, a deviant division was inserted diagonally into Lishan, and the Wei general Sun Li was once again defeated in Lishan, occupying Lishan before the Wei army's support arrived.

Lishan was less than fifty miles away from Chang'an, and Wei Yan's magic stroke almost stabbed Wei Jun near the heart.

In this regard, the Wei army must find a way to recapture Lishan, and even Sima Yi's troops are ready to counterattack Lishan.

But at this time, Weishui froze!

The time card was just right, and without waiting for Sima Yi to counterattack Lishan, the Weibei Han army assembled by Zhuge Liang in advance had already crossed the river in the wind and snow of November.

The Weishui defense line that Sima Yi had always relied on completely lost its effect, and his defense line was torn apart by Wei Yan on the eve of the Weishui freeze. In the face of Zhuge Liang's troops pressing the border, Sima Yi had to shrink the front on all fronts and prepare to defend Chang'an.

So far, the main force of the Han army has come to Chang'an City. From Lishan to Lantian is basically under the control of the Han army, and seeing Sima Yi will not be able to do it.

"If you still want to tell Sima Yi about that Luoshui fart again in person, go back quickly. Maybe it's too late to go back, and the prime minister can't wait to knock Chang'an down. Deng Zhi waved his hand and said with some complacency.

However, before he could finish speaking, his hand was grabbed by Ma Yan, and he was about to go out with him, almost pulling Deng Zhi, an old comrade, to the ground.

"So what are you waiting for! Walk! Let's go back to Guanzhong! ”
