Chen Qun's attitude is very clear, it is impossible for Ma Jian to beat it, so let's die as soon as possible.

It is better to take advantage of the fact that Cao Wei still has a lot of talents and strategic depth that can be independent, and compete with Xishu for national strength as much as possible. Otherwise, if Tou Tie really goes to fight hard with Ma Tan, there is a high probability that there will be no chance of victory except for supporting Ma Tan.

Although this is not a way to win......

"Then what if the Shu army entered the state all the way from Hedong, causing the state to be unprotected?" Cao Rui frowned, and asked in a deep voice.

Chen Qun's words are indeed good, but the problem is that merging states is too important now. Once Shangdang was taken down by Ma Tan, the Shu army was only separated from Yecheng by a Taihang Mountain.

Cao Rui has only moved the capital for three years, and he doesn't want to be forced to move the capital again. If it really comes to that point, the authority of the Cao Wei court will be severely damaged, and whether the Central Plains can be controlled is a question.

The terrain of this mountainous area is dangerous, and there are only a few wells that can be passed on the left and right. Even if the Shu army really attacked Shangdang, it would be extremely difficult for them to cross Montenegro.

"Thorn Shi, they're heading for Pingyang County, what should we do?" Wang Jing's subordinates hurriedly asked for advice.

"What's more, even if the entire annexed state falls, there is Montenegro in front of it. This natural danger is not as weak as imagined, Your Majesty, please relax. ”

…………

Of course, it is not enough to just gain a firm foothold, Ma Tan's goal is to occupy at least half of the annexed states and prepare for the next step in entering the Central Plains. Therefore, after resting for a few days, the Han army continued to march north, preparing to attack the state in one go.

For a while, Cao Wei Chaotang once again fell into a burst of chickens and dogs......

"Nanyang needs to fight, Guanzhong needs to attack, but Bingzhou also needs support! I have hundreds of thousands of people with armor in the Great Wei, and I can still get such a small number of troops! ”

Therefore, when Ma Tan led a large army to the city of Anyi, Wang Jing did not resist for two days, and quickly led the troops to abandon the city and left. The Han army successfully took over Anyi and captured the entire territory of Hedong County, successfully gaining a foothold on the east bank of the Yellow River.

Forced by Ma Tan's prestige and confident in the importance of the Emei Plateau, Wang Jing chose not to move. At the same time, he sent someone to repair a letter back to Pingyang County, instructing Lu Zhi to actively defend and be sure to starve the Shu army to death in the Hedong area!

From a military point of view, Chen Qun was not wrong, and it was obviously not a rational choice to continue to reinforce and annex states. But whenever Cao Rui wanted to agree, he would think of the scene when Ma Yanbing came to Luoyang City three years ago.

Ma Yan: Is this crazy? Isn't he going to ask for a logistics route? You must know that the Emei Plateau pestle is here, and it is impossible for the grain road of the Shu army to be smooth.

Cao Rui couldn't imagine how much impact the whole country would have if Ma Jian was killed under Yecheng again......

"Quick! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! Rescue Chen Sikong! ”

"Your Majesty, the state is not so easy to fall, you don't have to be so nervous." Chen Qun shook his head and calmly explained to Cao Rui.

In the northernmost part of the river, there is also a Longmen crossing. From there, you can directly enter Xihe County, and connect to Taiyuan, all the way south to maintain the grain route of the Han army.

However, just when Wang Jing was full of confidence and ready to wait for the Han army to shed blood under this city, he found that the Han army did not even look at him, and the 30,000 army directly crossed the Emei Plateau and went straight to Pingyang County in the north!

"Your Majesty!" Chen Qun's cloudy eyes were full of consternation, and then he still planned to admonish. But Cao Rui's will has been decided, and no matter what Chen Qun says, he refuses to accept it.

This place can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain is so steep that even Ma Tan has to be helpless when he comes. Because he was so steep, Ma Tan didn't even want to climb up with a veteran assault.

…………

It was a risky move, but Ma Jian couldn't help it. He can't be like Gao Huan in history, stupidly creating the Emei Plateau.

…………

Of course, the most important thing is that it is useless for you to be in a hurry. In front of Ma Yan, it is almost the same as sending 100,000 people to resist and 50,000 people to resist, and you can't beat it anyway.

Historically, Gao Huan Ke hit his head here and broke his blood. Even if there is no jade city at the moment, it will not be easy to defeat it. Especially now that most of Ma Yan's subordinates are Hu soldiers, it is even more difficult.

Montenegro is Taihang Mountain, which gave birth to the biggest thief in the Han Dynasty at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Black Mountain Thief.

I won't go into too much detail about how dangerous this plateau is, you just need to know that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a person built a city called Yubi here.

At that time, Ma Tan only showed his face under Luoyang City, and did not make any substantive moves. But the big and small wealthy families in Luoyang have begun to stand in line, and even their influence has not dissipated until now.

"No! I think we still have to reinforce and merge the state! In the end, Cao Rui chose to refuse to adopt Chen Qun's opinion.

"The whole army is here to the death! Anyway, we have plenty of food, and we can spend a year with the Shu army! I don't believe it, if Ma Jian can fight again, can he still conjure up grain out of thin air? ”

However, before that, the Han army first had to defeat Pingyang County. If Pingyang County cannot be reached, then the assumption of using Longmen Ferry to maintain logistics will not be valid.

Chen Qun's suggestion made Cao Rui hesitate for a moment, and began to seriously think about this commonplace suggestion.

And Wang Jing also deployed a whole 10,000 troops here, stationed according to the Emei Terrace. He himself sat here in person, and the collar was stuck in the logistics line of Fenshui.

As a result, after Chen Qun's hard persuasion was fruitless, he fainted directly above the court!

That's right, it's the Jade City known as the Happy City of High Joy!

It is better to take out these forces and gain superiority on other fronts as much as possible, at least not for nothing.

However, it was also in the north of Hedong County, on the south bank of Fenshui, that Ma Tan encountered a natural danger, called Emei Tiandi.

When the chickens and dogs jumped on Cao Wei's side, the Han army also began to march to the city of Anyi.

Hedong County is basically all plains, a horse and a flat river, and there is basically no danger to defend. Even if it is the place of governance, it is a small city, and it has little ability to defend against large armies.

"Of course it's a dead end, Ma Jian died by himself, do we need to stop it?" Wang Jing snorted coldly and said through gritted teeth.

Ma Tan really couldn't conjure up grain out of thin air, and if he had been relying on Fenshui to transport grain, his nearly 30,000 people would have to starve to death in Hedong.

But who said that if you fight from the west of the river to the east of the river, you must take Pujin to cross the Shunfen water to maintain the grain route?

"What's the situation? Ma Tan, doesn't he want food? Wang Jing was directly stunned when he saw this situation, and he didn't expect that the Han army would directly bypass this place.

In that case, I am afraid that these 30,000 people will be exhausted, and they may not be able to gnaw the Emei Plateau.

Therefore, Ma Tan directly said that he would give it a go, and the army only carried ten days' food, quickly bypassed the Emei Plateau, and the whole army went north to take Pingyang County.
