After Wei Guan served as the governor of Youzhou, he became obviously busy. Although Wu Qiu Jian died, he had been in charge of Youzhou for more than ten years, and his influence could not be eliminated in a short period of time. Wei Guan had to spend a lot of effort to eliminate this influence to the minimum extent.

Eliminating Wuqiu Jian's remnants is what Wei Guan needs to do most. If he wants to gain a foothold in Youzhou, he must cultivate his trusted forces and his army loyal to him. Otherwise, the endless assassination incidents alone will be enough to make him a headache.

Since Wuqiu Jian died, many assassinations against Wei Guan and Wang Qi have occurred. It is investigated that they were all done by dead soldiers and slaves loyal to Wuqiu Jian. Fortunately, Wei Guan and Wang Qi were very careful and did not give these assassins an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, this also alerted Wei Guan. There was a slight secret at all. Even if he was not prepared for it, any slight exposure or mistakes would be fatal.

Therefore, after the assassination, Wei Guan and Wang Qi spared no effort to crack down on Wuqiu Jian's remnants. Wuqiu Jian has been in Youzhou for many years and has cultivated a deep root and penetrated into all levels of Youzhou. It is indeed not easy to dig them out and eliminate them one by one.

But in order to eliminate the hidden dangers around you, no matter how difficult it is, Wei Guan must investigate it to the end.

Wei Guan looks kind-hearted and easy-going, but only those who have truly seen his methods will know that he is actually a cruel, sinister and vicious person. In order to eliminate Wu Qiu Jian's confidant followers, Wei Guan took action without hesitation, and even killed others to the point of being innocent.

Moreover, Wei Guan never made any public statement about these people. Almost few of them were escorted to the downtown area for execution. Many people disappeared without a trace after being arrested, and even their bodies could not be found.

On the surface, Wei Guan also needs to maintain the stable situation in Youzhou City and show harmony everywhere.

Wei Guan was an iron-fisted method inside. He devoted all his energy to eliminating Wuqiu Jian's remaining party. As for external military defense, he gave Wang Qilai full responsibility.

Now Youzhou needs to be vigilant about the attack of the Bingzhou army. Since Wuqiuxiu fled to Bingzhou, Wei Guan has been worried that the Bingzhou army would take the opportunity to advance eastward and attack Youzhou with the help of revenge for Wuqiu Jian.

In fact, the attack of the Bingzhou Army alone would not make Wei Guan too nervous. If the soldiers come to block the enemy, the water comes to cover the enemy, and the soil will cover it. At least the solid walls of Youzhou City can resist the offensive of the Bingzhou Army.

But the only terrifying thing is that Wuqiu Jian's confidants are densely packed with locusts, lurking in every corner of Youzhou City. Once they collude with the Bingzhou army inside and outside, that is the most deadly thing.

Therefore, Wei Guan presided over the maintenance of the country, and as for the overall situation of resisting foreign countries, he would leave it to Wang Qi to deal with it.

From Bingzhou to attack Youzhou, you naturally have to take the Juyongguan road. Juyongguan is the most dangerous pass to protect Youzhou. Wang Qi naturally stationed his army in Juyongguan to block the possible attack of the Bingzhou army.

So far, there has been no news of sending troops in Bingzhou, so Wang Qi is still relatively calm. After all, in his opinion, sending troops to fight at least requires sufficient preparation. The preparation cycle is generally longer. Under normal circumstances, it will take at least three or four months. What's more, it is cold at this time. If the troops are forced to send troops, the non-combat reduction will be very serious.

No matter how many generals are, they will not think that now is the best time to send troops. If Cao Liang really decides to send troops to Youzhou, he will at least have to wait until spring is in full bloom before he can use troops.

So during this period, it was enough for Wang Qi to integrate the troops of Youzhou and strengthen the defense of Juyongguan. When the Bingzhou army approached the city, he would be able to respond with confidence.

As for Wang Qi's focus on defense, it was Wang Qi's belief that the Bingzhou army would inevitably attack along the passage between Bingzhou. As for whether the Bingzhou army would launch an attack from the south, he was not very worried about this. After all, if the Bingzhou army attacked Youzhou from the south, Jizhou would be a hurdle that they could not bypass without faith.

As long as the Jizhou army fought for them in the front war, the Youzhou army would not have any psychological burden. Wang Qi knew that Lu Zhao was loyal to the Sima family. After the Bingzhou army entered Jizhou, there would be no chance to escape. Lu Zhao would be able to block the Bingzhou army for them.

To take a step back, even if Lu Zhao can't stop the Bingzhou army, it will take at least a lot of time. As long as the news comes to Youzhou, they will have enough time to defend.

But Wang Qi's wishful thinking was obviously wrong. The Bingzhou Army did not advance from Juyongguan, but chose the road to the south. Not only did Lu Zhao not be able to stop the Bingzhou Army, but the defense of Fanyang County was as muffled with paper. The Bingzhou Army did not stagnate at all. After they received the news, the Bingzhou Army's vanguard, the Iron Cavalry Camp, had already arrived more than ten miles outside Youzhou City, and was close to Youzhou City.

Wei Guan was shocked after hearing the news. The Bingzhou army came too suddenly. They were not prepared for the battle at all, so the Bingzhou army was actually at the city.

How is this possible? Even if Fanyang County has weak troops and cannot withstand the attack of the Bingzhou Army, Lu Zhao from Jizhou holds heavy troops, so how could he easily let the Bingzhou Army break through Guangchang?

Unless Lu Zhao deliberately released the water, the Bingzhou army would pass through Guangchang so smoothly, but Wei Guan couldn't figure it out that as long as Lu Zhao did not surrender, it would be impossible to deliberately cause trouble to the east.

Wei Guan quickly ordered someone to invite Wang Qi to discuss countermeasures. After all, Wei Guan was a civil servant and was not familiar with military affairs. He had always held an official position in the court and later went to Youzhou to serve as a military supervisor. The responsibility of the military supervisor was simpler and there was no need to command battles at all.

Although Wei Guan has become the governor of Youzhou, he still has to rely more on the experienced Wang Qi in terms of military command.

Wang Qi was in the governor's mansion at this moment, discussing matters with Yuyang Prefect Gong Zun and Youbeiping Prefect Liu Mao. When he heard Wei Guan's urgent summons, there was obviously something important, so he quickly went to the governor's mansion with Gong Zun and Liu Mao.

The military emergency report was reported to the Governor's Office as soon as possible, so Wang Qi had not had time to know the news that the Bingzhou army was at the city. He only knew that there were important things that Wei Guan would be summoned urgently, so he did not dare to delay at all and quickly went there.

When he arrived at the Governor's Office and asked, Wang Qi realized that something really happened!
