Cao Liang and Wu Qiu Xiu had a long conversation. Last time Wu Qiu Xiu was sent to Bingzhou, he must have reserved the situation in Youzhou. This time, the conversation with Cao Liang again did not have any reservations at all. He said everything he knew about Youzhou in detail and told Cao Liang in detail.

Although Cao Liang also installed intelligence personnel in Youzhou, how could the information and information they received be more detailed than Wuqiu Xiu? So Cao Liang took the initiative to meet Wuqiu Xiu, just to get first-hand information about Youzhou from him. Now, no one can understand Youzhou better than Wuqiu Xiu, and have a better understanding of Youzhou's mountains, rivers, geography and military deployment.

Although Wei Guan will definitely make new arrangements for Youzhou's defense after becoming the new governor of Youzhou, it is impossible to completely change Wuqiu Jian's original arrangements in a short period of time, so Wuqiu Xiu's suggestions are of great reference value.

At this time, Wuqiu Xiu had no reservation at all. The reason why he gritted his teeth and survived was that he wanted to see with his own eyes that he could avenge the Wuqiu family. He hoped that he and Wuqiu Chong would have no hope for ten lives. Only by relying on external forces and the powerful military power of Bingzhou could he kill Wei Guan and Wang Qi.

So in the face of Cao Liang's inquiry, he wanted to be able to reveal everything he knew. At this point in the field, Wuqiu Xiu had no more to hide. Nowadays, Youzhou is no longer the world of their Wuqiu family. Although even if Cao Liang conquered Youzhou in the future, he would not be able to return Youzhou to them, as long as he could take revenge and kill Wei Guan and Wang Qi, Wuqiu Xiu would think it was worth it.

During this meeting, Cao Liang did not bring anyone else, but Pei Xiu alone. The reason for taking Pei Xiu was because Pei Xiu was a famous map expert. Just listening to Wu Qiu Xiu's description, it was difficult for Cao Liang to remember the geographical situation of Youzhou. With Pei Xiu by his side, he could draw the geographical situation of Youzhou into a map, which would also facilitate future military operations in Bingzhou.

Wu Qiuxiu told Cao Liang that if you want to march into Youzhou, the best route is not Daijun on the northern road. There is a dangerous pass on Juyong on the northern road, and it guards the important road to Youzhou. As long as Wei Guan sends troops to guard Juyong on Juyong, it will be a man who can be the pass and ten thousand men will not open.

On the south of Youzhou is a flat plain area, which is most conducive to the movement of the cavalry. As long as the Bingzhou army occupy Guangchang and walks through Fanyang County, it will basically be flat.

The terrain of Youzhou City is characterized by its three sides of mountains. The Yanshan Mountains are like a natural barrier, guarding Youzhou City and resisting enemies from the north east and west. This is also the reason why Youzhou City has become a fortress to defend against the Central Plains and defend against the northern nomadic peoples. If the Bingzhou Army attacks Youzhou along the old road of Shanggu, there is a dangerous situation like Juyongguan, then it must be kicked on the iron plate.

Therefore, the easiest and most practical method is to bypass the steep Juyong Pass and enter from the southern plains. Even if you arrive at the city of Youzhou, there will be no more terrain obstacles.

However, if you go by Fan Yang, you must first capture Guangchang. Guangchang does not belong to Youzhou, but to Jizhou, and is in Lu Zhao's defense zone. According to the information you have now, Lu Zhao has stationed thousands of men in Guangchang. Although these thousands of men are not a big deal for the 60,000 Bingzhou army, Guangchang is all mountainous and has a dangerous terrain. As long as the defenders stick to the passes and dangers, the Bingzhou army cannot be used at all, especially the large number of cavalry, which has no place to use their skills.

More importantly, once Guangchang is attacked, Lu Zhao will definitely send troops to rescue him. The military operations of the Bingzhou army will not only be blocked by the Jizhou army, but will also alarm the enemy, which will arouse the alertness of Wei Guan and Wang Qi in Youzhou. Cao Liang's unexpected plan to attack him may have a miscarriage.

Although Bingzhou was a large-scale military mobilization this time, due to the natural barriers of the Taihang Mountains and the fact that Cao Liang had ordered the blockade of various roads in advance, it was difficult for the enemies of Jizhou or Youzhou to grasp the trends of the Bingzhou army before launching the attack. This was also Cao Liang's biggest reliance, and his purpose was to catch Wei Guan off guard.

But if you have to attack Youzhou first, it is inevitable that you will be alerted to the snake. The foundation for blitzkrieg is gone, and then attacking Youzhou will inevitably be subject to the enemy's desperate resistance, which is obviously contrary to Cao Liang's original intention.

Cao Liang asked Wu Qiu Xiu to retreat first for the time being and said to Pei Xiu: "In addition to Juyongguan and Guangchang, is there a third route to enter Youzhou?"

Pei Xiu shook his head and said, "No more, there are only two ways to attack Youzhou from Bingzhou. The lord must choose one of the two."

Choose one of two, but these two roads are not easy to walk! Cao Liang fell into deep thought and attacked Juyong Pass. Cao Liang shook his head secretly. The danger of Youzhou is at Juyong Pass. It can be said that this barrier is almost blocking the dangerous passes before the northern nomadic peoples. The reason why the Central Plains have been safe for hundreds of years is that Juyong Pass can be said to be an indelible contribution. No matter how powerful the Hu Qi, he has failed countless times. In history, it was not until Shi Jingtang of the Five Dynasties that he ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to the Khitans that brought endless disasters to the Central Plains. The Central Plains, without the barrier of Youzhou, became a pasture for Hu Qi to gallop on horseback. It was free to come and go, and the attack was random. The huge Song Dynasty also became the weakest dynasty.

Therefore, it is very difficult for Cao Liang to start from Juyongguan. However, if he changes to the southern line, he cannot avoid the hurdle of Lu Zhao. Lu Zhao is a close confidant of the Sima family and the most loyal dog of the Sima family. If you want to borrow from him, it is tantamount to seeking a skin with a tiger. How can you kill to the city of Youzhou without knowing it? This is really a difficult problem.

Cao Liang sat in the central army tent for a long time, but he didn't think of a perfect solution. When it was time to hold the lights, Huan Fan walked in. Seeing Cao Liang frowning, he smiled and said, "Why are you worried?"

Cao Liang gave the details, Huan Fan laughed and said, "What's the problem? I have a plan to make the lord worry-free."

Cao Liang couldn't help but see him. Huan Fan was a think tank that even Sima Yi admired. Perhaps he really had a clever plan, so Cao Liang quickly said, "What kind of clever plan do you have? I hope you will give me some advice."

Huan Fan smiled slightly and said, "Can you hear Han Xin's plan?"

"Han Xin?" Cao Liang was stunned. Han Xin had fought from Bingzhou to Jizhou, and had used the world-famous strategy of fighting against the enemy. But what does this have to do with the difficulties he faced?

"Didn't your lord hear that you are building a plank road openly and crossing Chen Cang secretly?" Huan Fan's smile showed a hint of cunning.
