Cao Liang led the infantry to the Second Battalion first and arrived in Liangxiang on the third day after the Battle of Liangxiang.

Not to mention that Cao Liang was late, but the cavalry was moving too fast, and the infantry could not keep up with the cavalry's pace. It was normal for two or three days to fall behind.

However, the three major cavalry battalions have formed the ability to fight independently. Without the coordinated combat of infantry, the cavalry battalions can complete the task independently and smoothly. In Liangxiang, the three major cavalry battalions cooperated and fought very well, annihilated more than 20,000 Youzhou troops, and severely damaged the enemy, with impressive results.

After that, the Bingzhou cavalry did not advance rashly, but stopped the land and retreated to Liangxiang when they saw the opportunity. Of course, this was also what Cao Liang ordered. After all, siege was not the strength of the cavalry. If forcibly siege the city, it would not achieve good results and only increased casualties.

This time, the infantry battalion was equipped with sufficient catapult siege chariots and crossbow chariots. All the siege equipment was prepared specifically for siege. Although these equipment were slow to operate, they were extremely powerful. It could help the Bingzhou army to capture Youzhou City at the minimum cost of casualties.

When Cao Liang arrived at the Liangxiang Camp, there was also a shocking news from Youzhou, that was, Wei Guan and Wang Qi abandoned the city and fled. All the generals were stunned. Unexpectedly, Wei Guan and Wang Qi were frightened and even wanted the prefecture of Youzhou. These two guys were too cowardly.

Originally, the generals of the Bingzhou Army were still ready to do something big in Jixian, but there was news that Wei Guan and Wang Qi were escaping. Although they could take down Youzhou City without bloodshed, they lacked a chance to fight, which was a bit disappointing.

Wen Qin said: "The lord's reputation is far and wide. These rats in Youzhou are frightened by the news and dare not fight with the lord. If they are smart, they will abandon the city and escape. Otherwise, they will have no fate."

Cao Liang laughed and said, "Wei Guan and Wang Qi fled away from the city, but it was not because they were afraid of me. It was because your Liangxiang fought well in this battle, which made the enemy invincible and fled without fighting, and they didn't even have the courage to fight again."

Pei Xiu said: "Since the enemy has fled far away, what should we do? Should we send troops to pursue it immediately?"

Cao Liang said: "The enemy situation is not clear, so don't attack rashly. Let's do this. Let's go to Ji County first. Since Wei Guan and Wang Qi handed over Youzhou City, we will be disrespectful."

So the Bingzhou army immediately advanced northward and took over Youzhou City.

The city of Ji County was intact, and Wei Guan and Wang Qi did not destroy the city when they left. This was not because Wei Guan and Wang Qi were kind-hearted, but if they set fire to the city, it would inevitably attract the attention of Bingzhou troops in Liangxiang. They abandoned the city and fled, and they took advantage of the darkness to act secretly, and dared to destroy Youzhou City with great fanfare.

You should know that the speed of the Bingzhou cavalry is too fast. Once they learn about the withdrawal of Youzhou army, they may send troops to pursue them. At that time, they will not be able to leave even if they want to.

Many people in Youzhou were still inexplicably surprised. They could only hear the noise of the night, and the sound of horse hooves and footsteps and commands were endless. They thought it was a normal mobilization of the Youzhou army. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, the city of Youzhou became very quiet, and no Youzhou soldiers could be seen inside and outside the city.

Wei Guan and Wang Qi were very unwilling to throw this prefecture city to the Bingzhou army intact, but they had no choice but to empty the grain warehouse and arsenal, and move all the supplies in the city. Other things that could not be taken away could only be kept intact. If there was too much noise, it would cause trouble.

So when the Bingzhou Army received the news, Wei Guan and Wang Qi had already left Youzhou City and were on their way to Liaodong.

Although the Bingzhou Army launched a pursuit at this time, there was still a high chance of catching up with the Youzhou Army. However, Cao Liang was always cautious and did not fight unprepared battles. The enemy situation was not clear. If he pursued it rashly, he would probably encounter ambush from the enemy. Although the Youzhou Army retreated, the main force was still there and it was not without the power to fight.

Therefore, Cao Liang did not intend to pursue immediately, but instead entered Jixian County first, took over Youzhou City, and then sent a scout to explore the military situation and march again.

Youzhou is such a large territory. Wei Guan and Wang Qi are untenable in western Liaoning and will definitely flee to Liaodong. Cao Liang wants to pacify Youzhou, he will inevitably march into Liaodong. After mastering the situation in Liaodong, he will not be delayed.

Wei Guan was an official who had arrived in Youzhou by the imperial court. Although he became the governor of Youzhou, it does not mean that he had a foundation in Youzhou. Wang Qi has always served as the prefect in Liaodong, so his foundation is also in Liaodong, and his ability to control western Liaoning is definitely insufficient.

Western Liao has always been Wuqiu Jian's base camp. Although Wuqiu Jian died, his tree was very deep and its influence was difficult to eliminate it within ten or eight years. Wang Qi killed Wuqiu Jian himself, which naturally led to the hatred of Wuqiu Jian's old subordinates. It would be difficult for Wang Qi to be the governor of Youzhou City safely.

What's more, Wang Qi was already scared when the battle in Liangxiang fought. Not to mention the loss of troops, the blow of morale alone was too great, so Wang Qi had no confidence at all to defend Youzhou City, abandon the city and fled back to Liaodong, which seemed to have become his only choice.

Wu Qiu Xiu also returned to Ji County with the Bingzhou army. This result made him feel really uncomfortable. Wu Qiu Jian was killed that day and fled from Ji County in a hurry. He thought he would return here again. He didn't know when the Wu Qiu family's blood feud would be repaid.

Unexpectedly, he returned to Jixian after only two or three months, as if he had just left a long journey, went to Bingzhou once, and then came back.

But this time, the relationship between the two was different. Although the city of Jixian County was still the same, everything in the city had changed a lot. The Wuqiu family, which was once the largest family in Youzhou, no longer existed. In the end, only he and Wuqiu Chong were left.

When he returned to the Governor's Office, Wu Qiuxiu couldn't help but feel emotion and burst into tears. Although he had not yet been able to kill the two enemies Wei Guan and Wang Qi, Wu Qiuxiu finally returned home without having to be displaced and dependent on others.

The people from the Wuqiu family were almost killed by Wei Guan and Wang Qi, and then buried in a random mass grave. Wuqiu Xiu sent someone to retrieve the bodies and buried them again in the Wuqiu family's ancestral tomb so that they could be buried in peace.

However, Wu Qiu Jian's body was found, but the head was sent to Luoyang. Wu Qiu Xiu had to recast his head with gold, and could only count on the future after Cao Liang hit Luoyang and find the head again.
