A year earlier, at the suggestion of the others, Ma had completed his appointment to the North. Among them, the second town of Shuofang is in charge of Jiang Weishuji, while the second town of Beidi County is headed by Deng Fan and Zhang Wei.

Since then, the appointment of the four generals in the north has come out in this way, and the power of the Han in the Hetao Plain has been responsible for the four of them.

At that time, Ma Tan wanted to go to the north, but Li Mula went to Yizhou.

And in such a year, the northern side also came back with war reports. Whether it is Shuofang County or Beidi County, they all came to report the victory.

When Ma Tannan marched south to Jingzhou, Cao Wei reacted quickly. In addition to ordering Guo Huai to lead 100,000 troops from Xudu to Nanyang, the Wei army in the north also made a multifaceted counterattack.

Among them, in the direction of Shangjun, Wang Jing was responsible for merging the state assassin Shi Jing, and led 50,000 soldiers of the state army into the north. And in the north, Youzhou Thorn Shi Wang Xiong also joined forces with Xianbei King Budugen with tens of thousands of troops, killing Ben Shuo Fang.

"Hehe......" Jiang Wan rolled his eyes, took out the financial bill handled by Shang Shutai directly from his arms, and threw it to Ma Yan.

Jiang Wan's anger startled Ma Yan, and he hurriedly laughed with Jiang Wan.

This is the first time that Ma Yan's four old subordinates have played the effect of his presence without his participation. The entire northern border began to advance in an all-round way, except for some areas of the front set that had not yet been recovered, the rest of the areas basically fell into the hands of the Han army.

On the other hand, Wang Jing, the assassin of Bingzhou, because of Wang Xiong's response, led the troops to advance lightly, but Zhang Wei refused.

As a result, the army of Youzhou Assassin Wang Xiong marched to Wuyuan and encountered Jiang Wei's resistance.

"Gong Yan, speaking of which, do you need to personally deal with all this?"

The two sides fought in Wuyuan, and the confrontation lasted for dozens of days without a victory. As a result, after being surrounded by Shu Ji, the grain route was cut off, and Jiang Wei attacked all the way in the front, and finally broke Wang Xiong's department, slashed the roots of Budugen, and killed tens of thousands of people.

Even now that the old capital of Chang'an has been recovered, the official system has not been improved. On the contrary, some problems that should have been exposed have been buried more hidden.

The victory in the north once again attracted the attention of the imperial court to the north. Among them, the annexation of the Kanto region is the most important.

However, there is a very fatal problem with the three princes and nine kings of the Han system, that is, the administrative management is far from keeping up with the times. From finance to criminal law, many bureaucratic systems are relatively chaotic, and a lot of administrative power is wasted in them.

"And Shang Shutai's energy is involved so much, can other affairs of the imperial court be handled?"

It is precisely because of this that after Zhuge Liang was in the White Emperor City, he quickly began to open the government and take power. A series of major powers, such as criminal law and finance, were all transferred to the Prime Minister's Office, and the administrative efficiency was forcibly raised by relying on personal ability.

Therefore, Ma Jian quickly handed over the matter to the Hussar General's Mansion for discussion. After some discussion, everyone agreed that the annex should be recaptured strategically.

Seeing Jiang Wan's movements, Ma Yan's brows suddenly wrinkled, and he didn't pick it up immediately, but looked at Jiang Wan and asked a question.

But when I looked closely, I found that it was all pulled up by Ma Yan, so it was not surprising.

"Shhh...... It's not a long-term solution. After Jiang Wan's extremely short explanation, Ma Yan suddenly gasped.

"Or else? If Shang Shutai didn't handle the finances himself, would he expect those ministers to calculate it themselves? Jiang Wan looked at Ma Yan and replied angrily.

After Wang Xiong missed the appointment, Wang Jing also hurriedly rolled his armor. As a result, he was chased by Deng Fan in a river valley in Shangjun.

"With such a cumbersome finance, I'm afraid it will take a long time for Shangshutai." Ma Tan touched his chin, groaned for a moment and continued to ask.

"This is the treasury money and grain reserves sorted out by Shang Shutai during this time, you can calculate how many people you can support to go on the expedition."

"Gongyan, don't be nervous...... I'm not going to send troops right now, so I'm not just going to hand in an offer. I would also like to give advice to Your Majesty from a strategic point of view. ”

Because this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Han army was unable to continue to advance after capturing Guanzhong, so Cao Wei still had a strong strength here. Although the Wei army was unable to threaten Guanzhong after Pubanjin was blocked, the entire Hetao was still under their threat.

This battle report was transmitted back to Chang'an, and the government and the opposition were shocked. Whether it is Shangshutai or the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is the first time in so many years that Ma Jian can achieve such a huge result without being present.

"Now that the imperial court finances finally have a chance to take a breath, what do you want to do?"

Bingzhou is located east of the Yellow River and west of Taihang Mountain, and the terrain of the whole state is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, its people are fierce, and its geographical location is on the side of the throat, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

Originally, because Ma Tan had already appeared in Jingzhou, it was thousands of miles away from the north. Therefore, the Wei army thinks that this advantage is in me, even if we can't win a big victory, we can take back the entire Hetao Plain.

First of all, in the early days of the founding of the Ji and Han dynasties, it completely inherited the former Han system, with almost no changes. Even the official position of the permanent attendant was left in its original form.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion will share a part, and Shang Shutai will take care of the rest." Jiang Wan replied.

With this in mind, Cao Weiyou and the two states sent a total of 100,000 troops to try to launch a counteroffensive.

Therefore, in Ma Yan's view, it is necessary to take down the annexed states as much as possible before the next Eastern Crusade. Only by controlling and annexing the states can the Han army successfully conquer the eastern part of the country.

"General Ma! Can't we keep to ourselves for a while? Jiang Wan angrily slapped the knife on Ma Tan's table, staring at Ma Tan and gritting his teeth angrily.

"How long have you been back in Chang'an, why are you planning to use troops again? Do you know how difficult it is to get you the grain you need for a Northern Expedition? The pressure on Shang Shutai's side is not ordinary. ”

However, not long after this proposal was submitted to Shang Shutai, Jiang Wan came to Ma Jian with a knife on the same day.

The Bingzhou army was ambushed in the river valley, and the whole army was in chaos. The 50,000 army scattered and scattered, and the dead were so large that almost all the family resources of the state were lost.

I don't know if I don't listen, and I'm shocked when I hear it. Ma Jian really didn't expect that before he knew it, Ji Han's official system had become so strange.

"You also know the efficiency of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this is all drizzle."

Therefore, after checking the battle report, Ma Jian quickly made a judgment. If the state can't be defeated, I'm afraid that this eastern crusade to Kanto will be difficult.

And Ji Han also carried out a decade-long Northern Expedition under the support of the official system of "the palace and the palace, all as one". During this period, all the problems were solved, because Zhuge Liang did most of Jiuqing's work alone.

But is this really the problem?

No, on the contrary, under the backlog of many years, it has gradually become the most deadly hidden danger in the Han Dynasty!

There are still only two chapters today.,I got a headache when I checked the information today.,It's basically smooth tomorrow.
