"Ming Xiu plank road, secretly cross Chen Cang?" Cao Liang thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood, and said, "What does Mr. mean is to send troops to attack Jizhou first, and then steal Guangchang, so that Lu Zhao can't care about each other?" ”

Huan Fan smiled and said: "Yes, I have this intention in Xia, in fact, the thousands of defenders in Guangchang alone are just chickens and dogs, the lord only needs to send an army, and he can take it lightly, and the lord is worried about it, but Lu Zhao's reinforcements." As long as the lord sends troops to attack Jingcheng Pass in advance, pretending to be the main force, Jingcheng Pass is the gateway to Jizhou, and he does not dare to lose, Lu Zhao does not know the details, and he will defend it with all his might, and the defense of Guangchang is empty, and the lord will be able to take it in a battle. ”

Cao Liang laughed and said: "Mr. really has a clever plan, Lu Zhao attacked Weize Pass several times before, and repeatedly violated the border of my state. ”

Lu Zhao is loyal to Sima's cronies, when he attacked Bingzhou, he was the most energetic, led his troops to attack Weize Pass, it was simply sparing no effort, so that the eastern front of Bingzhou was quite tight, if it were not for the fact that the left guard battalion led by Lian Hong resolutely resisted in Weize Pass, resisted Lu Zhao's attack, so that he could not cross the Lei Chi half a step, and the result of the battle of Bingzhou was likely to be rewritten.

After Lu Zhao withdrew his troops, Xian Hong sent a letter to Cao Liang, hoping that Cao Liang would allow him to send troops to attack Jingcheng Pass to avenge his previous revenge.

Of course, Cao Liang did not agree, although he could also understand the feelings of Xian Hong and the soldiers of the Zuo Wei Battalion, but at this time, the conditions for attacking Jingcheng Pass were not ripe, and Cao Liang had not yet made strategic arrangements for attacking Jizhou, so he wrote to Zhan Hong, asking him to be calm, wait for the opportunity, and the state army would attack Jizhou, it would be a matter of time, and the blood debt owed by Lu Zhao would definitely be repaid by him in the future.

This time, Chen Bing Lingqiu was preparing to go to Youzhou, but Cao Liang could not relax his defense against Lu Zhao, so after the end of the Hedong War, Liu Jing's right guard battalion had been redeployed back to Leping and strengthened the defense of the eastern front to ensure that while the main force of the Bingzhou army attacked Youzhou, Lu Zhao would not take advantage of the situation and fight the idea of merging the state.

After all, this guy has a criminal record, and Cao Liang has to guard against it.

Listening to Huan Fan's strategy, Cao Liang suddenly had to, Huan Fan's hand can be regarded as a clever plan to attack the west, due to Cao Liang's prior news blockade, not only Wei Qian who was far away in Youzhou did not know the movement of the Bingzhou army, but even Lu Zhao, who was close next door, could not accurately know the next move of the Bingzhou army, so the Bingzhou army wanted to fight Guangchang, and Sima Jun did not notice it at all, that is, only after Guangchang's real emergency, maybe Lu Zhao would know. As for Wei Qiang, it is estimated that he will know later, after all, Guangchang is not in the territory of Youzhou, and it is not under the jurisdiction of Wei Qiang, and whether Guangchang is lost or not has nothing to do with him directly.

However, Guangchang was attacked, and Lu Zhao, who was the pastor of Jizhou, would definitely send troops to the rescue, with the complex and dangerous terrain of Guangchang, coupled with the mutual cooperation of the defenders and reinforcements, it was not easy for the state army to take Guangchang.

And Huan Fan's strategy is to feint to attack the Jingcheng Pass, compared to Guangchang, the Jingcheng Pass can be ten times more important, once the Jingcheng Pass is lost, the entire Jizhou Plain will have no danger to follow, and the state army can drive straight into the north of the Yellow River, this consequence can be described as disastrous.

Lü Zhao naturally regarded Jingcheng Pass as a strategic location and could not afford to lose it, so once the Hezhou Army launched an attack on Jingcheng Pass, Lü Zhao would not hesitate to send reinforcements and hold Jingcheng Pass at all costs.

The more Lu Zhao attaches importance to Jingcheng Pass, the easier it will be to realize this plan of cultivating the plank road to secretly cross Chencang, as long as Lu Zhao is restrained on the side of Jingcheng Pass, even if he knows that something has happened to Guangchang, he has no time to take care of it, after all, compared to Jingcheng Pass, Guangchang is much more insignificant, and guarding Jingcheng Pass is the most important thing.

Since the feasibility of Huan Fan's strategy is very high, Cao Liang no longer hesitated, he immediately ordered Xian Hong, who was stationed at Weize Pass, and Liu Jing, who was stationed in Leping, to immediately assemble troops and launch an attack on Jingcheng Pass, and asked them to plant more banners and camp tents, bluff, and make a 50,000 rao scale of 20,000 rao, so that the Jizhou army believed that this was the main force of the Bingzhou army to attack.

However, in the letter, Cao Liang clearly pointed out that the attack on Jingcheng Pass was only a feint, and it was to cooperate with the action of the main force of the Bingzhou Army in Guangchang, so Cao Liang asked Lianhong and Liu Jing to unify their understanding, obey the order, and have to turn the feint attack into a real attack, and once the main force succeeds on the Guangchang side, they must retreat in time to avoid unnecessary losses.

Cao Liang's order was delivered to Weize Pass in the form of an expedited fast horse, and it happened that Liu Jing was also in Weize Pass, he had just been ordered to be transferred back to Leping from Hedong, and rushed to Weize Pass, just to discuss the affairs of the defense with Lianhong. According to Cao Liang's requirements, the left guard battalion guarded the reed Ze Pass, and the right guard battalion was stationed in Leping to respond, and the two armies were horns to build a solid barrier on the eastern front of the state.

In fact, the cooperation between Lianhong and Liu Jing is already quite skilled, when in the Xiaocai battalion, the two were both captains, and they intersected with each other, after arriving in Bingzhou, one was promoted to the general of the left guard, and the other was promoted to the general of the right guard, each commanding a battalion of men and horses, and at the same time was arranged by Cao Liang to the eastern front, and Lianhong has been guarding the Weize Pass, while Liu Jing is more mobile, and sometimes he is transferred to other places, but most of the time he is still stationed in Leping, and he cooperates with Lianhong to stick to the eastern front of the state.

Cao Liang arranged them together for this reason, after all, the two were quite familiar with each other, and they cooperated seamlessly, which was more conducive to the defense of the Eastern Front.

Although he also knew that Cao Liang had a greater strategic arrangement, he had a belly of fire for Lu Zhao, and he couldn't wait to set foot in Jizhou and strip Lu Zhao to his bones, so as to vent his anger.

After receiving Cao Liang's latest documents, Zhan Hong thought that Cao Liang wanted to appease him and do a good job of guarding Wei Ze Pass, but after opening it, it turned out to be Cao Liang's order to send him to Jingcheng Pass, which couldn't help but make Zhan Hong Dawei excited, and only read a few lines and said loudly to Liu Jing: "The lord agreed that we will dig the well and pass it, great, really good!" ”

Liu Jing couldn't help but be puzzled, this order was very different from Cao Liang's previous order, which was obviously a bit unreasonable, he took the letter and looked at it, and said faintly: "Brother, you are too early!" ”
