Chapter 434 The decisive battle is coming

"I know the intentions of the Yang family of Hongnong. When Guanzhong is recovered and the Emperor of Han returns to the old capital, I will definitely report the merits of the Yang family to Your Majesty!" After thinking for a while, Ma Di nodded, and solemnly handed over his hand to Yang Zhun.

Yang Zhun looked grateful for this, and then handed over his hands to thank Ma Su. The two sides quickly agreed on a secret cooperation. As soon as Guanzhong was recovered, they would immediately march into Hongnong.

At that time, the Yang family will hold an event in Hongnong and rely on their long-term status and influence in Hongnong to support the recovery of the Han army. Yang Zhun even took out a list written down on Longyou paper, which included many officials and generals on the Western Front of Cao Wei.

"These are all the disciples of my Yang family west of Hangu. If the general needs them, they can all serve the Han Dynasty!" Yang Zhun promised as the eldest son of the Yang family.

Facing this letter of nomination, Ma Su couldn't help but feel moved, and couldn't help feeling that the Yang family had really spent a lot of money.

Of course, this can also be seen from the side, how much the Hongnong Yang family hated Cao Wei. In order for Shu Han to quickly expel Cao Wei's forces from Guanzhong, the family's reliance has been taken out.

Of course, for Yang, joining the promising Shuhan at this moment is already the best choice. Not only is this the successor of his old club, but also because Shu Han is currently extremely short of people, so the Yang family can at least join the upper class.

Even if they are lucky, they can regain high-ranking positions in the court after Ma Di and Zhuge Liang with their extremely strong family knowledge. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Compared with the little family background of Yizhou and Longyou, the Yang family can crush them in all aspects.

So from the Yang family's perspective, this is an excellent investment. In this case, the Yang family is naturally extremely willing to spend money.

While negotiating the alliance with the Yang family, the Han army also began to attack Hebei in an orderly manner under Ma Su's deployment.

Because of Ma Su's serious injury, the generals under him tried their best not to let Ma Su go to the battlefield again. Even in order to keep an eye on General Ma, Zhang Yi personally led his people to stay with him 24 hours a day.

Under such care, and because his injury did not allow him to forcefully break through Zhang Yi's care, Ma Su could not find a chance to escape. As a result, the battle on the front line fell into the hands of Zhang He, Shu Ji and others.

In less than ten days, the Han army quickly conquered all the territory south of Zhongtiao Mountain. To the north, they captured Pujin Ferry and pushed the front to the boundary of Hedong County. Facing Hongnong County across the Yellow River in the south, the battle line stretched for hundreds of miles.

At this moment, in the entire south of the Yellow River, the only ones with real military strength are the Tongguan line.

Under such circumstances, it was only a matter of time before the Han army invaded Hongnong County and completely cut off the Qin Pass Road. But at this time, Ma Su received an envoy from Fufeng County.

The person who came was actually Deng Zhi, an old acquaintance. He came with a warrant from the Prime Minister. But after seeing Ma Su's injuries all over his body, Deng Zhi was almost frightened.

"Youchang, your injuries..."

"Ahem...I accidentally fell down and got a little injured. It's okay." Facing Deng Zhi's question, Ma Su kept talking nonsense without changing his expression, which made Deng Fan roll his eyes.

If you fall down, your whole body will be covered with stab wounds and gunshot wounds, right? The ground you fell on may not be that flat.

"Okay, it's the prime minister's job to whip you. Now hurry up and recuperate for two days and follow me back to Huaili."

"Ah? Did the Prime Minister plan to whip me now before the war?" Ma Su was shocked when he heard this and asked subconsciously.

"What the hell! The prime minister asked me to call you back. We need you for the Chang'an war!" Deng Zhi's face darkened, he patted the table and said angrily.

"Haven't you been thinking about confronting Sima Yi face to face? Now that the opportunity has come, hurry back to Fufeng County. Maybe you can be in time to besiege Chang'an when you get there."

"Siege Chang'an? Has the Prime Minister already attacked Weinan?" Ma Su was suddenly shocked. He had not paid attention to the situation in Guanzhong for only a month or two. Has it changed so much?

"More than just fighting in Weinan? If you had been late, Wuguan might have been defeated." Talking about the changes in the battle situation, Deng Zhi suddenly felt happy and said with a smile.

After Deng Zhi explained it to Ma Su in detail, Ma Su realized that not only had his side of the front advanced rapidly in the past month or so, but the situation in Guanzhong was developing even more rapidly.

At the same time that Zhang He led his troops to attack Linjin, the direction of Guanzhong changed. Zhuge Liang took Chen Shi as his general and led 10,000 troops across the Wei River from Wugong and began to attack Guo Huai and Sima Fu.

Because Chen Shi's offensive was fierce, Sima Yi had to divide his troops again to support him. Since then, most of the Wei army's forces have been transferred to the northern battlefield, and the hinterland of Chang'an has been basically empty.

Until this time, the cavalry general Wei Yan, who had not shown up in Shuhan, finally appeared.

There is no accident, coming out of Ziwu Valley.

Originally, the Wei army that Sima Yi arranged to guard Ziwu Valley was enough to make Wei Yan hate it. However, due to the sudden increase in military pressure from the north and the severe shortage of troops, most of the Wei troops near Ziwu Valley were also mobilized.

When Wei Yan came out of Ziwu Valley with 5,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 civilians, the Wei army's troops guarding the area were unable to withstand it. So Wei Yan led 5,000 elite Han troops from Ziwu Valley and successfully entered Weinan.

Later, Wei Yan showed a rare highlight in his career. With 5,000 elite troops, he defeated Wei general Sima Zhao in Lantian and beheaded more than 4,000 people. Then he used a partial division to penetrate Lishan diagonally, where he defeated Wei general Sun Li again and occupied Lishan before the Wei army's support arrived.

Lishan is less than fifty miles away from Chang'an. Wei Yan's magical stroke almost stabbed Wei Jun in the heart.

In this regard, the Wei army must find a way to recapture Lishan, and even Sima Yi's troops were prepared to counterattack Lishan.

But at this time, the Wei River was frozen!

The time card was just right. Before Sima Yi could counterattack Lishan, Zhuge Liang's Han army in Weibei, which Zhuge Liang had assembled in advance, had already rushed across the river in the November wind and snow.

The Weishui defense line that Sima Yi had been relying on completely lost its effectiveness, and his defense line was torn to pieces by Wei Yan on the eve of the freezing of the Weishui River. Faced with Zhuge Liang's overwhelming force, Sima Yi had to shrink the front line across the board and prepare to defend Chang'an.

So far, the main force of the Han army has arrived at Chang'an City. From Lishan to Lantian, everything is basically under the control of the Han army, and Sima Yi is about to die.

"If you still want to tell Sima Yi about your fart in Luoshui again in person, then go back quickly. Maybe you will go back too late, and the prime minister will defeat Chang'an before he can wait." Deng Zhi waved his hand and said with some satisfaction.

But before he finished speaking, Ma Su grabbed his hand and pulled him out, almost pulling Deng Zhi, an old comrade, to the ground.

"Then what are you waiting for! Let's go back to Guanzhong!"
