Chapter 1074
Lin Liwei was stunned and couldn't help but feel ecstatic. He thought that surrendering would only save him from death, but he even planned to sit in prison. Even if he survived, he would be better than death.
But unexpectedly, Yang Hu's words dispelled all his concerns. If he had known that the Bingzhou Army had such a rule, he would have fought hard to resist and surrendered early. Anyway, whether it was the officials of Jizhou or Bingzhou, weren't they from the Great Wei Dynasty? What's the difference?
Lin Li hurriedly bowed and said with gratitude: "General Yang, thank you for the Grand Chief of General Cao. I am willing to serve the Grand Chief of General Cao."
Yang Hu supported his hands and smiled slightly, "General Lin, don't be polite. Governor Cao's government orders are treated equally. If you perform well in the future, you will naturally have the opportunity to be promoted. But now there is something to bother General Lin, and I hope General Lin can cooperate."
Lin Li immediately said: "But with General Yang's order, he will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Yang Hu smiled and said, "It's not that serious. Just let General Lin write a letter, it's just a matter of raising his hands."
"Write a letter?" Lin Li was full of doubts.
"That's right, writing a letter is to write a letter to your ex-boy, General Zhenbei, Lu Zhao, who told him that everything is fine in Guangchang and that the enemy has retreated, so that he doesn't have to worry about it."
Yang Hu's plan was very simple, and he wanted to use Lin Li's mouth to tell Lu Zhao that Guangchang was safe and did not have to worry. Of course, the news of Guangchang's loss must not be hidden from Lu Zhao in the end, but what Yang Hu needed was to hide it for a while. After all the Bingzhou army troops walked out of Feihu Xing, there was no need to keep this secret at that time.
For Lin Li, this letter was indeed a matter of raising his hands. He could write this letter without even raising his hands. Lin Li wrote it as soon as he said that, and someone had taken the pen and ink. Lin Li quickly wrote it. After writing it, he handed it to Yang Hu for a look.
Yang Hu glanced at him and nodded. Lin Li was indeed neatly written as required. This was a good opportunity to make meritorious achievements. Of course, Lin Li did not dare to slack off. Yang Hu specially sent his personal soldiers to disguise himself as Lin Li's confidants and went to Jingxing Pass to deliver the letter.
After settling down Lin Li and others, Yang Hu immediately sent someone to inform Cao Liang who was still in Lingqiu, saying that he had taken Guangchang and asked Cao Liang's army to quickly advance eastward and go to Youzhou.
Before Yang Hu took Guangchang, Cao Liang remained unmoved because in terms of force, it was enough to send an infantry battalion of troops to attack Guangchang. Even if there were many people going there, they could only be crowded on the narrow and deep flying fox road and could not be used at all.
Now that the infantry battalion has successfully taken Guangchang and opened up the road for the army to advance eastward, the Bingzhou Army, which has long been ready to stop, can finally embark on its journey.
It only took four and a half days to calculate the infantry battalion to attack Guangchang, and in terms of efficiency, it was quite high.
After receiving Yang Hu's report, Cao Liang was overjoyed. Yang Hu did not lose his hope and fired the first shot for the expedition to Youzhou. Without further ado, he immediately ordered the Xiaoqi Camp, Yueqi Camp, Tunqi Camp and Shooting Camp to go to Guangchang first, first and set off immediately, follow the Feihu Road and head straight for the Guangchang.
The Bingzhou Army's operation was the largest in history. Even when the decisive battle with the main force of the Sima Army in Jinzhong last year, Cao Liang had never mobilized such a large army. It is obvious that Cao Liang made careful and sufficient preparations for the expedition to Youzhou this time, and planned to take over Youzhou in one go and create a new situation.
The horn for the counterattack against the Sima family has been sounded. Youzhou will be the first stop for Cao Liang's counterattack, and then Jizhou will unify the north of the Yellow River and form a situation of cutting the river with Sima's army. Later, Cao Liang will cross the Yellow River, recover Luoyang, completely eliminate the Sima family, and restore the Cao family's country.
Revitalizing Cao Wei was Cao Liang's lifelong ambition. Now he has finally taken the most critical step. His biggest opponent, Sima Yi, is no longer there. For Cao Liang, no one is qualified to stand in front of him. Even Sima Shi, who inherited Sima Yi's title and wealth, would not do it. Now Cao Liang is as powerful as a rainbow. He will block the gods and kill gods, and Buddhas block and destroy Buddhas. No matter who it is, he will never stop blocking his path.
The Xiaoqi Camp, Yueqi Camp, and Tunqi Camp were advancing in sequence, walking in the narrow Taihang Canyon, and it was precisely because the infantry camp was in front of them and opened up a smooth and unobstructed road for them that their way to east was so smooth.
Otherwise, in such a mountainous land, no matter how strong or powerful the cavalry of the Bingzhou Army was, they would have to be obediently bound, and they would have no chance to use their strengths and advantages. When they encountered ambush from the enemy, they would not even be as good as ordinary infantry. They would be completely passively beaten.
Only when they arrived at the plains did Jiao Long, who was trapped in shallow pools, have the chance to soar into the sky. They accelerated their marching speed and wished they could wing their wings, and immediately flew out of Feihu Xing and rushed to the city of Youzhou in one breath.
The shooting camp and the first camp who were dragged behind were not willing to fall behind. They followed the cavalry team closely and never fell behind for a moment. On this road, it was difficult for the cavalry troops to get rid of them.
The Bingzhou Army was winding all the way, filling the entire canyon. When the vanguard cavalry team Xiaoqin camp had already arrived in Guangchang City, the subsequent Xianchuan camp had just stepped onto Feihu Pass. Fortunately, the teams were in order and there was no congestion. The entire march was very smooth.
Cao Liang and his think tank also acted with the army and headed to Guangchang.
Before leaving, Cao Liang specially sent people to send letters to Qian Hong and Liu Jing, who were attacking Jingxing Pass, informing them that the task of feinting Jingxing Pass had been successfully completed and they were about to break away from the Jizhou army and return to Weize Pass and Leping, and at the same time strengthen the defense of the two places to prevent the counterattack of the Jizhou army.
Perhaps after learning about the true intention of the Bingzhou Army, Lu Zhao would be furious, and he would even be more likely to take advantage of the opportunity of the Bingzhou Army's main force attacking Youzhou to attack Weize Pass again. Therefore, Cao Liang's requirements for Qian Hong and Liu Jing were very clear, that is, to retreat quickly, defend the pass steadily, and attack again when Jinghou was the opportunity.
Attacking Jizhou is also one of Cao Liang's strategic intentions, but at least he has to take over Youzhou before he will consider it again. Therefore, the most urgent task now is to defend the front line of Weizeguan and not give Lu Zhao any opportunity to take advantage of.
Overall, Cao Liang still gave great trust to his father's two old subordinates back then. Cao Liang believed that they could do all this well.
