Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Chapter 409 Zhuge is stationed in the fields, Ma Di attacks

After Sima Yi withdrew to Weinan, the Han army quickly captured a large area of ​​territory in Weibei. Ma Di fought until he reached Xinghe River, and then encountered Chen Tai's obstruction.

The Han army quickly took over all the territory Sima Yi gave up, and successively gained a population of 100,000 and a land of thousands of miles.

After stabilizing the newly occupied territory, Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry to continue the attack. Instead, they divided their troops to garrison at various passes around the camp, and then began to organize farming in the occupied areas.

Due to years of war and people fleeing for famine, large areas of local land are ownerless and abandoned. Zhuge Liang quickly sent people to clear out the farmland and gathered the people to prepare for farming on the spot.

At the same time, a large number of second-line soldiers were assigned to clear wastelands and organize civilian villages and military villages at the same time.

There are many passes in Guanzhong. Although Chang'an is dilapidated, it is also an old capital. It is basically impossible to capture it quickly. What's more, with Sima Yi's deployment and operational capabilities, the Han army basically did not have the ability to quickly capture the entire Guanzhong.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang had a very clear idea this time. He quickly captured the territory of Guanzhong and then began to farm on the spot.

I will farm under your eyes and fight a protracted war with you steadily.

He wanted to eat it bite by bite in a protracted confrontation. Let Sima Yi watch helplessly being cannibalized until he finally had to withdraw his troops.

Ma Su already knew Zhuge Liang's plan, and quickly took control of the archives room after capturing Huaili. When Zhuge Liang stationed in Huaili and began to organize farming, he immediately obtained a complete set of materials.

"How come you are so proficient at controlling files?" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked after seeing that the information Ma Su had saved was perfect.

"The Prime Minister is overly praised. I can't even say he's very skilled. I'm used to it." Ma Di smiled, waved his hands and said pretending not to care.

Since he became the governor of Longxi, he has often encountered problems dealing with wealthy families, and files are what local wealthy families like to destroy.

Therefore, Ma Su has been dealing with wealthy people, and it has become almost instinctive. No matter how chaotic the situation is, Ma Su will give priority to sending people to control the archives room.

Zhuge Liang didn't express anything about this, he just nodded lightly and said,

"It's a good job, it will be very beneficial to the following farm work."

"I will be responsible for the affairs of the farm here. Next, you will lead a group of troops to attack the east. Xinping, Beidi, Feng Yi and other places have not yet been conquered, and now you need to recover them!"

"Prime Minister, when will we attack Chang'an..."

"Go and execute the military order first!"

"okay!"

When Zhuge Liang's army stationed in Huaili and began to confront Sima Yi across the Wei River to farm fields, Ma Di also began to be ordered to capture Weibei.

After resting in Huaili for a few days, Ma Su led the main force of the Han army to set off and began his eastward march.

Zhuge Liang was still very generous to Ma Di, and all his old subordinates, including Jiang Wei and Shu Ji, were handed over to him. At the same time, as this was not enough, Zhang Yi and Zhang He were assigned to lead Wudang flying troops to accompany them, a total of 40,000 elite troops.

The first thing to stop Ma Su was the 20,000 Wei army led by Xinghe and Chen Tai.

Ma Di's army approached Xinghe, and Ma Di first sent scouts to investigate Chen Tai's true identity.

After all, although Ma Su likes to take risks, he is not reckless. He must find out the layout of the Wei army, then make reasonable arrangements, and finally find an opportunity to commit suicide within a safe range.

First, ensure that the Han army does not lose, then find a strategy for victory, and finally seek to seek death.

But soon, Ma Di was disappointed with the results of the scout investigation.

Chen Tai didn't give him any chance to make a surprise attack.

As the general who was whipped by horses the most in the northwest theater, Chen Tai was about to suffer from horse fear. Since the beginning of the Han army's Northern Expedition to Guanzhong, his lieutenant often heard Chen Tai wake up at night, muttering Ma Di's name.

I just opened the quilt in the middle of the night and found that everyone was dead.

Especially this man was ordered by Sima Yi to defend Weibei, which made Chen Tai frightened.

After the Han army conquered Sanfu's defense line in Guanzhong, Chen Tai summoned all the lieutenants and generals overnight to build fortifications along the entire Xinghe River.

Therefore, under the investigation of Han army scouts, there were Wei army camps everywhere along the Xinghe River for hundreds of miles. Not only were the antlers, chariots, and trenches prepared for each camp, they even went to the corridors and beacon towers frantically!

Within two hundred miles, Chen Tai built more than ten fortresses, connected by corridors, and set up beacon towers everywhere. In this way, the Wei army could quickly support the attacked camp through the corridor protected by the city wall, and the grain road could also be protected from cavalry attacks.

The entire east of the Xinghe River was almost built into a huge blockade by Chen Tai.

Seeing this posture, Ma Su couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.

"How much trouble did I put on Chen Tai's heart? Did I do this just to prevent him?" Ma Di looked at the battle report and shook his head speechlessly.

"That's natural. If I were Chen Tai, I would want to build the Great Wall on the spot." Jiang Wei followed Ma Su. When he heard this complaint, he immediately replied with a smile.

"One Great Wall may not be enough..." Liu Yin, standing aside, subconsciously added.

All the generals were happy, and many nearby captains and generals also laughed together.

Obviously, everyone enjoys the feeling that the other side is facing a powerful enemy. Especially the situation where he just touched his beard and even wrote a suicide note on the other side.

So fucking comfortable!

"Okay, stop laughing. Let me think about how to cross the river and defeat the enemy." Ma Di was speechless. He waved his hand to interrupt the group and brought the topic back to the topic.

"Although Chen Tai's reaction is indeed interesting, the problem now is that it is really difficult for us to cross the river to attack."

"What exactly should we do to successfully defeat Chen Tai?"

Ma Di's question made everyone stop laughing and start thinking about what to do.

It was indeed a bit tricky for Chen Tai to do this. In terms of deployment, it blocked the possibility of the Han army forcibly crossing the Xing River.

In particular, the corridor built by Chen Tai was almost built close to the riverside. Even though Ma Su is very strong in attacking tough situations, there really is no room for improvement in that area.

Going straight up the road is the ancient Xiaoguan Road. The terrain is difficult and dangerous. And the most important thing is...

Chen Tai also built the beacon tower here!

In other words, no matter where Ma Di crossed the river, he would be discovered by the Wei army immediately. Chen Taihui then quickly mobilized troops to support and intercept the Han army crossing the river.

Obviously, as long as Ma Su did not lead the team himself, other troops would not be able to storm the Wei army camp.

"I have an idea."

At this time, Zhang He suddenly stood up, looked at Ma Su and said something.

"We can go around and attack Chen Tai from behind."

"It's useless. From here all the way to Xiaoguan in Xinping County, Chen Tai can know even if a mouse crosses the river." Ma Su shook his head and answered subconsciously.

However, Zhang He's next words made Ma Su pause.

"What if we take a detour from Weinan?"
