When Lu Zhao heard this news, he felt like he was being fooled by Cao Liang. He always thought that the Bingzhou army attacked Guangchang just a feint to support the military operations here, but he did not expect that the attack on Jingxing was a false move, while the attack on Guangchang was a practical move.

What a plank road that is built openly and crosses Chencang in secret!

But Lu Zhao didn't understand what Cao Liang's intention was to attack Guangchang. It was true that Feihu Road was also an incorporation into Hebei, but compared with Jingxing Road, Feihu Road was too biased. Even if Cao Liang took Guangchang, the threat to Jizhou was far less than Jingxing Pass. What was the intention to go so far?

Lu Zhao has not yet figured out Cao Liang's true intentions, so naturally he would not have thought that he really wanted to fight Guangchang before. Moreover, Lin Li's letter completely confused Lu Zhao. This damn guy, Guangchang had already lost, even wrote a letter to tell him to defeat the enemy, which was a waste of his life before, and he had trusted Lin Li so much and was attracted by his confidant, and handed over the fortress of Guangchang to him, but the result was this.

If Lin Li had not deliberately confused the public, Lu Zhao would not have had such a major misjudgment or mistake. The use of non-humanity would have led to such a defeat.

Lu Zhao quickly readjusted the defense arrangement, and Jingxing Pass was still a key defensive target. Under any circumstances, this target will not be shaken.

However, the Bingzhou army now occupied Guangchang, and Lu Zhao had to adjust the defense of Jizhou. In order to prevent the Bingzhou army from moving south from Guangchang, he immediately increased his troops to Zhongshan and built a second line of defense in Jizhou there.

As for recapturing Guangchang, Lu Zhao had no idea. Not to mention that Guangchang's terrain was easy to defend but difficult to attack, just hearing that the Bingzhou army arrived in Guangchang this time had 60,000 troops, Lu Zhao was already frustrated. Even if he gathered the forces of the entire Jizhou army, he might not be able to compete with the Bingzhou army.

What's more, the three most terrifying cavalry battalions of the Bingzhou Army came out in full swing, and it was like a nightmare. Sima Yi's 170,000 troops were defeated by him, and Lu Zhao even lost the courage to compete with him.

Adjusting the defense deployment was just a temporary solution. Lu Zhao quickly asked Luoyang for help. The current situation in Jizhou was no longer controllable. Sima Shi must send troops himself to resolve the crisis.

Lu Zhao strengthened Zhongshan's defense in order to prevent the Bingzhou army from moving south and posed a threat to Jizhou. However, for Cao Liang, he ignored Lu Zhao's actions because the Bingzhou army had no plans to move south at all. After the Bingzhou army arrived in Guangchang, it did not make any stops and advanced straight eastward and headed straight for Zhuo County.

Zhuo County is the county seat of Fanyang County. It was originally called Zhuo County. It was renamed Fanyang County during the reign of Emperor Wen of Wei. It was an important gateway to Youzhou City and guarded the southern gate of Youzhou. If Zhuo County is in trouble, it will be like the gateway to the southern part of Youzhou, and the safety of Youzhou City will be greatly threatened.

After leaving Guangchang, Cao Liang adjusted the combat sequence of the army, and the infantry battalion retreated to the central army, while the position of the vanguard battalion was replaced by the cavalry battalion.

According to the information provided by Viaqiu Xiu, the enemies Youzhou have faced for a long time are Hu people from the north and east, so the main force of the Youzhou army has been deployed in Ji County, Juyongguan, Liaoxi and Liaodong areas to the north, to strictly monitor the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, Goguryeo, and the three Hans to prevent them from launching an attack on Youzhou and even the Central Plains.

Therefore, the strategic deployment of the Youzhou army was basically in the north. Even if the power of Youzhou was usurped and military power was attacked, the strategic deployment made by Wu Qiu Jian during his lifetime did not mean that it would be changed so easily. After all, the days were still short, and Wei Guan really had the heart to rectify the defense system of Youzhou, which would take at least a long time. Now, the chaos in Youzhou is about to calm down, which is a time of panic.

Fanyang County belongs to the southernmost county in Youzhou. Although it is the southern gate of Youzhou, it borders Jizhou, which belongs to the territory of Wei. Youzhou naturally has no intention of being prepared for Jizhou. Therefore, the Youzhou army has not arranged heavy troops in Fanyang County. The guards of Fanyang County are only some of Fanyang's county soldiers. The combat effectiveness is quite weak and it is simply vulnerable.

At the beginning, Wuqiu Jian was determined to rebel against the Sima family and intended to increase his troops to Fanyang County to prevent threats from Jizhou. However, Wuqiu Jian thought for a long time and gave up this idea, because his increase in troops to Fanyang County would make Sima family suspicious and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Wuqiu Jian really did not dare to act rashly before the army started.

When the army was launched, Wuqiu Jian had a plan to send troops to Fanyang County to strengthen the defense of Fanyang County. Unfortunately, Wuqiu Jian died unexpectedly, the plan to send troops was put on hold indefinitely.

Because Wuqiu Jian sent troops to prevent the attack of Jizhou's army, and after Wei Guan's commander Youzhou, he had no need for this, so naturally he would not send troops to Fanyang County.

Wei Guan transferred the elite main force he could mobilize to Juyongguan. In his opinion, passing by Juyongguan could block the attack of the Bingzhou army and eliminate the gaze of the Hu tribe in the north. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.

In the past, when he was a military supervisor in Youzhou, Wei Guan's task was to supervise Wuqiu Jian well, and he didn't need to consider other matters.

But after he was promoted to the governor of Youzhou, all the burdens of military and political affairs in Youzhou were on his shoulders, and he had to consider everything and arrange everything. Under the secrets, there was a slight slightest.

What Wei Guan was most worried about was Cao Liang from Bingzhou. Wu Qiuxiu fled west to Bingzhou and would definitely invite reinforcements. What's more important is that if Cao Liang sent troops easily, it would be difficult to resist the current situation in Youzhou. Therefore, the heavy troops to defend Juyongguan are the ones that Wei Guan was afraid of the Bingzhou army.

As for whether the Bingzhou army would come from the south, Wei Guan had another arrangement and consideration. Fan Yang was all against Jizhou. No matter how the Bingzhou army went, he could not avoid the obstacles of Jizhou. With Lu Zhao's men to support him, the safety of the south and south is beyond doubt.

But it is estimated that Wei Guan never expected that the Bingzhou army would easily capture Guangchang, and it would be like an uninhabited place in Jizhou. Before the news was received in Youzhou, Cao Liang's army had already reached the foot of Zhuo County, and caught him off guard.

When Wei Guan actually received the news that Bingzhou troops invaded Youzhou, Fanyang County had already lost its power, and the Bingzhou Army's cavalry camp had also been killed outside Youzhou City, no more than ten miles away from Ji County.
