At noon, Zhuge Liang's Prime Minister's Mansion officially entered the inner city of Chang'an. Under the welcome of several Guanzhong clans led by the Du family in the city, the Han army successfully took over the entire defense of Chang'an.

Taking Chang'an and swallowing the entire Guanzhong is a huge victory for Ji Han. But after the victory, it's also time to think about something practical.

Because Ma Jian was extremely skillful and quickly took over the archives, all the records of household registration and land were preserved. And the local clan is also very cooperative, not only taking the initiative to hand in the information, but also sending out part of their own family resources.

First of all, the population of Weinan, Chang'an now has a population of more than 100,000, and the local residents of Weinan together are about 400,000.

Even so, thanks to Sima Yi, the governor of Cao Wei. If it weren't for Sima Yi's relocation of 170,000 people from Guandong to Guanzhong for the sake of Guanzhong Tuntian, it is estimated that the Guanzhong household registration would be even more unsightly.

In the end, the population of the entire Guanzhong, Weinan and Weibei combined, the total population was less than 700,000......

"Kansai is broken...... This is not an empty phrase. After Zhuge Liang saw the general account of Guanzhong, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"That's true." Ma Jian also glanced at it and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a pity that such a rich place in Guanzhong is ruined because of the war, which is really embarrassing."

This is the Guanzhong Plain, which was once known as a fertile field for thousands of miles and a population of one million! As a result, now counting Dongyongzhou, the total population is less than 700,000, and it is indeed dilapidated.

However, although the population is small, there is a frightening amount of arable land in Guanzhong. In Weibei, in particular, at least half of the arable land is now barren and uncared for.

This cultivated land is not wasteland that needs to be developed from scratch, and much of it is cooked land. The roads and villages are ready-made, and there are local officials to guide them, and they are all extremely suitable areas for tuntian.

As long as Guanzhong can be stable for three years, Zhuge Liang is confident that he will rely on these foundations to greatly improve Ji Han's national strength.

Of course, the biggest gain this time is the surrendered troops. After the Huihui artillery showed its might, in just seven days, the Han army was successively reduced to tens of thousands of Wei troops.

After taking Chang'an, Sima Fu and his son also brought 20,000 Guanzhong troops. All of these were digested by the Han army, which was regarded as the harvest of the Eastern Front battlefield, at least 40,000 Guanzhongqu were surrendered.

These are all elite tribes, and most of them are self-organized. As long as the reorganization is carried out and the morale of the army is subdued, it can be put into battle immediately.

Finally, there are the bureaucrats and local clans, which gave Zhuge Liang a lot of surprises.

Even though Kansai is ruined, many of the great clans have survived and still have some influence in the local area.

For example, the Legalist family of Fufeng County, the main family of Fazheng is still alive, and the Han army immediately welcomed the king when it entered Fufeng County. Counting the Chang'an Du family, this is the home of the famous general Du Pre of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and it is also a supporter of supporting Ji Hanguang's recovery.

There are so many big clan forces and manpower, Zhuge Liang estimates that this can probably fill the gap in Ji Han's talents.

All in all, this Northern Expedition was the biggest harvest since Jianxing five years ago.

"It's just that I'm busy next......" Zhuge Liang shook his head gently, looking at the mountains of official duties that were piled up again, and laughed helplessly.

It seems that his burden will not be light in the short term, at least until the Guanzhong talents are absorbed and digested, he will have to continue to work overtime.

"Prime Minister, don't worry about this first, we still have to go after Sima Yi." Ma Jian reminded Zhuge Liang "kindly" next to him.

"Sima Yi broke out with tens of thousands of Guanzhong troops, if he runs back to Kanto, it will be ...... for the future crusade."

"Alright, you don't have to knock on the side, I'll send you to chase after you." Zhuge Liang was speechless and pointed at Ma Jian with a feather fan, expressing his speechlessness at Ma Tan's belligerent behavior.

When the Han army attacked Chang'an on all fronts and wantonly accepted the surrender of Guanzhong, Sima Yi led 30,000 troops from Guanzhong to break through to the east. Converging Sun Li's headquarters near the Yin Rim, he quickly forced a breakthrough from the blockade of Wei Yan and Liu Yin.

At the same time, Fei Yao, the defender of Wuguan, also abandoned the pass, stealing from the side of Lishan with all his soldiers and horses, trying to join Sima Yi.

In the process of breaking through, the Wei army gave Wei Yan and Liu Yin a lot of military merits because of low morale. But in the end, after a tragic battle, Sima Yi joined Fei Yao and broke through to the east with nearly 40,000 Guanzhong troops.

Of the 100,000 Guanzhong army, Sima Yi finally took away only nearly 40,000 people, and the rest of the logarithm was surrendered by the Han army. This result Zhuge Liang is already very full, but Ma Jian feels very inappropriate.

We can clearly let him only have the only Commander of the Light Pole left, why do we have to let go of so many people?

Therefore, as soon as Zhuge Liang received all the files of Chang'an, Ma Jian immediately wanted to ask for a battle to pursue.

Zhuge Liang was helpless about this, and after being invited to fight by Ma Jian more than a dozen times, he finally nodded.

"Go now, go back...... Also, take down Tongguan and push the front to Hongnong! Zhuge Liang waved his hand at Ma Yan, but suddenly remembered something, and then raised his head and admonished.

"By July this year at the latest, Your Majesty should be moving the capital back to Chang'an! I don't want your majesty to come to Chang'an, there will still be Wei army activities in Guanzhong! ”

"Don't worry, Prime Minister! Give me three months, and I will take down the one hundred and two Qin passes for you and push the battle line to Luoyang Yin! Ma Tan replied with a smile, and wanted to go out as he spoke.

But before he reached the door, Zhuge Liang remembered something again, and stopped Ma Jian again.

"By the way, Youchang, I heard that you captured a pseudo-Wei clan general? It's called Xiahouba? ”

"That's right, I'm being detained in Weibei now."

"Leave it to me, I need to get someone back from the pseudo-Wei."

"Who does the prime minister plan to change?" Ma Tan was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously.

"I miss Gongheng a little......" Zhuge Liang said leisurely.

"Since Yiling, he has lived in the north for more than ten years, and it is time for him to come back and reunite with his family."

At the moment when the Han army basically took the entire Weinan and received Wuguan to the south, Ma Jian left Chang'an with peace of mind and returned to the front.

Ma Jian quickly returned to Weibei, and then went straight to the battlefield on the Eastern Front with several guards. Along the way, Ma Jian didn't dare to stay at all, and went straight to the front line all the way.

He knows Sima Yi's speed, he can break through Meng Da in eight days, who knows if he can reach Tongguan in eight days?

Ma Yan didn't want the fat in his mouth to fly, so he had to rush to the front line one step ahead of Sima Yi.

So Ma Tan galloped all the way for five days and five nights, changed horses seven times on the way, and finally arrived in Linjin in the early morning of the sixth day!
