At Li Hui's suggestion, Wancheng quickly dispatched 10,000 Han troops. Under the leadership of Ma Yan, he went straight to Ye County, preparing to regain the lost territory.

According to Li Hui, with Guo Huai's cowardice, he basically did not dare to confront the Han army. When the army arrived, he basically ran away by himself, and there was no need to engage the enemy at all, 10,000 people should be enough.

Facts have proved that Li Hui was right, and even 10,000 people were a little more.

When the Han army arrived in Yexian under the banner of Ma Yan, Guo Huai himself had already abandoned the city with his troops. By the time the Han army arrived, Yexian had already gone to the empty city, and the gate was open and waiting for the Han army to accept it.

The only loss was that part of the baggage and armor stored in Ye County were all taken away by Guo Huai. However, this loss is completely disproportionate to the number of enemy troops who came to attack, and I don't know what Guo Huai is trying to do.

The Han army entered Yexian and re-established a stronghold at this Nanyang gateway. Then Ma Tan planned to continue to move forward with the soldiers and horses, and take back Kunyang as soon as possible.

If Guo Huai runs away, then take the lost ground, and if Guo Huai doesn't leave, then give him a beating.

With such a plan, Ma Tan led the Han army to continue to move forward, and soon the troops came to the city of Kunyang. This time, Guo Huai did not leave, but guarded according to the danger, relying on Yingchuan's help to try to carry a wave.

Of course, it was said that it was a wave, but in fact, Guo Huai only left 20,000 people to defend the city. The rest of the troops were all withdrawn to Xudu, ensuring that the final losses were minimized.

Just as Ma Tan was about to chat with his old friend again, a letter suddenly came from behind.

The letter was written by Xiangyang Liuyin, and it was delivered to him all the way. After Ma Tan received it, he felt an ominous premonition, and he took it apart and swept it as soon as possible.

"Envoy, after you went north to rescue Nanyang a few days ago, you groaned for a long time, and finally still thought that you needed to gamble. Therefore, forgive Yin's self-made assertions, and he is willing to go south to retake Gangneung on behalf of the general. ”

Just a few words, Ma Jian stood up suddenly, and his face changed suddenly.

"! Liu Yin wants to eat alone! ”

Li Hui next to him saw that Ma Jian reacted so much, and thought that Dongwu had called. As a result, when he heard Ma Jian blurt out such a sentence, he directly confused Li Hui.

What kind of strange play is this? Which one do you hussar generals play?

But soon Li Hui took the letter from Ma Tan's hand, and after reading it, he glanced at Ma Jian speechlessly,

"General Ma, your subordinates are really the same as you, and they all have unique talents in liking to disobey military orders."

"Go, go, don't come here to tease me, I usually strictly state military orders!" Ma Yan's face darkened, and he rolled his eyes and said.

"With the frequency of your disobedience to military orders, the prime minister doesn't dare to accept your military order, will your subordinates really take your orders seriously?" Li Hui sneered and happily made up for it.

"No! I have to rush back now, I can't let Liu Yin eat alone, so I can mix it up!" ”

Ma Jian stood up scolding, very unhappy that Liu Yin, who had always been honest, suddenly took it upon himself to eat alone.

He wasn't worried about Liu Yin's safety, even if he couldn't beat Lu Xun with this kid's ability, he could still withdraw safely. Now Ma Jian is most worried about what Liu Yin will do if he lures Lu Xun out and wins.

If you eat all the enemy, what will I eat? Do you want to go back to Yizhou to work overtime?

Therefore, Ma Tan was in no mood to continue to fight with Guo Huai at the moment, and was ready to turn around and return to Xiangyang.

After all, Guo Huai has been beaten out of experience over the years, and it is difficult for him to make a major breakthrough. But Lu Xun's side is different, as long as he comes out, no matter how experienced Ma Jian is, he can do it for him, no matter how he says, he is better than Guo Huai.

But at this time, Li Hui stretched out his hand and grabbed Ma Jian and said,

"Don't worry, I received news just now that Ma Dai has led 3,000 cavalry to Wancheng. Since you plan to go south to retake Nanjun, then go to Wancheng first and bring Ma Dai's cavalry with you. ”

"Don't fight Dongwu when the time comes, because there are too many people on the opposite side and they haven't been wiped out, it will be too embarrassing."

When Ma Jian urgently turned around from Yexian and rushed back, Lu Xun in the direction of Jiangling was having a headache.

Liu Yin took the time just right, and while Ma Jian went north to capture Guo Huai, he led 4,000 Han troops south. Along the way, under the banner of Ma Yan, the troops went straight to the vicinity of Gangneung.

Because of Ma Tan's prestige, the generals of Eastern Wu who were reckless to the extreme before are also sober up at this moment. There was no need for Lu Xun to greet them, all of them turned into city defenders, and let the Han army insult and provoke them in every way, all of them held on to the head of the city and couldn't hold out.

This is exactly how Liu Yin wants to feel, he imitates Ma Tan's marching style all the way, and goes deep into the hinterland of Nanjun like no man's land. Then under the nose of Wu Jun, he interspersed dribbling throughout the entire Nanjun, and even raided the city head in Qingni, almost taking the city.

Such an arrogant act obviously angered the generals of Eastern Wu, after all, they couldn't stand a little anger. But Ma Tan's prestige shocked them to death, making them dare not speak out.

It was also at this time that Ma Jian surrendered the soldiers without a fight in Ye County, and transmitted the news that Guo Huai was frightened and left without a fight back to Nanjun. For a while, all the generals of Eastern Wu were in an uproar, and then their anger rose slowly.

It turns out that Ma Jian is not here, this group of Han soldiers is cheating!

Such an arrogant interspersed death, if it is Ma Yan, they can bear it, after all, the prestige is really not beatable there. But now any general of the Shu army, under the banner of Ma Yan, dares to be so arrogant, where will their face of Dongwu go?

So, when it was confirmed that Ma Tan was indeed defending against the Wei army in the north, the generals of Eastern Wu found Lu Xun again and started a new round of battle.

Lu Xun was a little speechless about this, why are you so obsessed with fighting? Don't you know what kind of combat power we have, even if he doesn't come to Ma Yan, we can't keep it.

The most important thing is that Lu Xun seriously suspects at this moment that this is Ma Yan's plan to attack the west. What if this is another smoke bomb, and in fact Ma Jian himself is hiding outside the city?

It's not that Ma Tan hasn't done it, and he relied on this trick to kill a lot of Wei generals in Guanzhong. Especially at this moment, most of Jingzhou has fallen, and now the fulcrum of Eastern Wu in Jingzhou is Jiangling.

This place must not fall again, and if it is lost, Jingzhou will be completely surnamed Liu.

Therefore, Lu Xun still maintained his cautious combat layout and ignored all requests for battle. Except for sending some troops to try to recover Jingnan County, the rest of the troops must all be based without fighting.

However, this time, when Lu Xun was about to continue with the previous deployment, an envoy suddenly broke in and presented Lu Xun with a warrant.

"The Grand Duke! The Supreme has an order! ”
