In Ma Tan, he took several people from his personal guards to ride horses for five days and five nights, and finally arrived at the foot of Linjin City on the sixth day.

Ma Jian arrived on the battlefield of the Eastern Front in such a hurry, and successfully arrived at the front line before Sima Yi. When Ma Tan arrived at the tent of the main camp of the Han army in Pubanjin, Sima Yi's soldiers and horses were still racing on the Weinan Gallop Road.

After returning to the front line, Zhang He and others quickly brought him good news.

Jiang Wei, who led the troops to the north to meet Cao Wei and Zhou County, returned good news.

With 5,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 conscripted soldiers, Jiang Wei successfully defeated Cao Wei's annexed state army in Shuofang County. Not only that, after the king of Bingzhou Assassin Shi Jing led the troops to retreat, Jiang Wei led the troops to chase the north.

In the end, Jiang Wei caught up with Wang Jing in Xihe County, broke it again, and returned from the people of the three counties.

After this battle, Cao Wei's offensive in the northern direction was completely thwarted. Ji Han's control in the north has been extended to the upper county, and the results are very gratifying.

Judging from this series of records, Ma Jian also confirmed that Jiang Wei, like Liu Yin, already has the ability to take charge of himself.

As for Shu Ji, Zhang Wei, Deng Fan and others, their abilities are also good, and it won't be long before they can be on their own.

"Boyo has performed very well in the north this time, and he has repelled the enemies in the north so quickly." After reading Jiang Wei's battle report, Ma Jian shook his head lightly and said,

"It's just that the fight is too conservative, if he fights again, he may be able to directly enter Taiyuan."

"Ahem, ahem...... It's a bit too risky, and I don't even dare to do it. Zhang He almost squirted out when he heard this, and coughed twice in a row.

"Where did you take the risk? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, it's been like this for so many years, and the Northern Expedition is very difficult. Ma Tan waved his hand, and his words almost choked Zhang He to death, and he was stunned for a long time before he said speechlessly,

"Okay, okay, you're the best...... But now, if you want to stop Sima Yi's Guanzhong army, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”

"The reinforcements from the Kanto region have arrived again, and our troops are not sufficient enough, so it is not so easy to stop Sima Pifu."

In recent years, Jihan's territory and military expansion have been extremely rapid. But even so, the gap between Ji Han and Cao Wei's family backgrounds is still very large.

So far, Ji Han has a total population of less than three million, counting the Guanzhong he just occupied.

As for Cao Wei's Kanto population, it is still as much as four million.

Therefore, even if the Han army won successive victories on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, it almost destroyed the 70,000 soldiers and horses of the Wei army. But even so, Cao Wei still continued to send troops from the Kanto region to help.

So far, nearly 30,000 Wei troops from Guandong have again entered Hongnong County to meet Sima Yi, and Wang Jice of Tongguan has risen up to threaten Pubanjin.

However, Ma Jian didn't care about this at all, and after a brief look at the deployment of the Han and Wei sides, Ma Jian quickly found the problem.

Because it is early spring, Weishui has not been unsealed, and the Yellow River between Pubanjin and Hongnong is also frozen. So nominally the two sides are facing each other across the river, but in fact there is little difference from the confrontation on the plains.

And the main thing is that Ma Tan himself has not been on the battlefield on the Eastern Front for three months in a row. As a result, the Wei army in Weinan launched several counteroffensives against Pubanjin, trying to regain lost territory while Ma Tan was away.

So far, the Wei army has launched at least four counterattacks against Pubanjin. After Zhang Yi and Zhang He resisted many times, they successfully repelled the Wei army.

And Ma Tan rode a horse and galloped for five days and five nights in a row to arrive in Pubanjin. In other words, the Wei army in Weinan did not know that Ma Tan had returned to Pubanjin......

"I've got a bit of an adventurous idea......" Ma Tan stroked his beard, muttered for a moment, and suddenly laughed.

As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the entire Han camp gasped.

It can be considered a bit risky by Ma Tan...... How risky is that?

He wouldn't want to go directly to Luoyang, would he?

…………

A few days later, in the Wei army camp in Weinan, Huwei General Xu Yi and Cao Shuang, who had just been promoted to General Yokono, were deploying troops.

Although Cao Shuang had fought a little crotch in the Battle of Nanyang before, after all, the two of them lost the least, and they only lost seven or eight thousand people......

All in all, this time to aid Kansai, Cao Rui found that there were a lot fewer generals at hand. In the case of not being able to find anyone in a short time, he could only temporarily let Xu Chu's son and Cao Shuang serve as the two of them.

At this moment, they had just received news from Chang'an, Sima Yi failed to hold Chang'an, and the entire Guanzhong basically fell into the hands of the Han army. And Sima Yi is leading the remnants of Guanzhong to retreat to the east at this moment, and needs their response.

This news is tantamount to a huge blow to Cao Wei. This means that the entire northwest defense line that Cao Wei painstakingly built has basically fallen.

The regime, which had been despised as a small country in the southwest, had finally come to the opposite side of them, and had grown into a great power that was enough to rival Cao Wei.

"Sima Yi, this guy, is blowing the earth-shattering sound, but he still can't hold Guanzhong." Cao Shuang scolded and expressed deep dissatisfaction with Sima Yi.

"General, General Cao, it's no wonder that Captain Sima is in this matter, the combat power of the Shu army is too strong, and there are both Zhuge Liang and Ma Tan in charge of the troops, and the captain has done a good job."

Xu Yi expressed her understanding of this, and even felt that Sima Yi was not easy. After all, it is not easy to be able to take turns to serve Zhuge Liang and Ma Tan, and to keep Chang'an for so long, and to bring out so many troops.

This is already the highest record that has broken all the leaders of Cao Wei. If it is replaced by Wang Ling, it is estimated that none of the 100,000 Guan Zhongjun will want to bring it out.

"I know it's not easy for him, but don't you know that this guy ......boasted about Haikou in His Majesty at the beginning" Cao Shuang is still very prejudiced against Sima Yi, he has always been like this from a clan, and he looks down on those old leaders very much.

"That'...... Are we going to send troops to pick up the lieutenant? After all, I heard that the morale of his troops was extremely low, and if the Shu army wanted to ambush along the way, I am afraid it would be ......."

"Ambush? Do you think the Shu army will send troops to ambush Sima Yi? When Cao Shuang heard this, his first reaction turned out to be surprise.

It's not that he wants to see Sima Yi stumble, but that he suddenly found a fighter.

"Although there are 100,000 troops in Xishu, most of them are on the front line of Chang'an. There are only 30,000 Shu troops from Pubanjin to Linjin on the Tongguan line, and there are no other troops to be transferred. ”

"At this point, the Shu army is not under the command of Ma Yan, and it is already doing its best to prevent the offensive of our army. If they also send troops to ambush Sima Yi's soldiers and horses in this case, then Pubanjin will inevitably fall into a situation of shortage of troops......"

"In this way, it seems that we have a battle to take!"
