Chapter 1074: A Gesture of Effort
In-house recruitment? Lin Li was stunned, and then he couldn't help but feel ecstasy, he originally thought that surrendering was just to avoid death, and he was even ready to sit through the prison, even if it was better to survive than to die.
But he didn't expect Yanghu's words to dispel all his concerns, he knew that the Bingzhou Army had such regulations, so he still desperately resisted and surrendered early, anyway, whether it was the official of Jizhou or the official of Bingzhou, wasn't it all from the Great Wei Dynasty, and what was the difference?
Lin Li hurriedly bowed down and said gratefully: "General Yang, thank you to Governor Cao, the last general is willing to serve Governor Cao." ”
Yang Hu clasped his hands together and said with a slight smile: "General Lin doesn't need to be polite, the decrees of Governor Cao are all treated equally, and if you perform well in the future, you will naturally have the opportunity to be promoted to the rank of knight." But now there is something that bothers General Lin, and I hope that General Lin can cooperate. ”
Lin Li immediately said: "But with General Yang's orders, go to the soup and go to the fire, and you will not give up!" ”
Yang Hu smiled and said, "It's not that serious, just ask General Lin to write a letter, and it's a matter of effort." ”
"Write a letter?" Lin Li's face was full of doubts.
"That's right, to write a letter is to write a letter to your former boss, General Lu Zhao of Zhenbei, telling him that everything is fine on the Guangchang side, the enemy army has retreated, so he doesn't need to worry."
Yanghu's plan is very simple, that is, he wants to use Lin Li's mouth to tell Lu Zhao that Guangchang's side is safe and sound, so that he doesn't have to worry. Of course, the news of the loss of Guangchang will definitely not be able to hide from Lu Zhao in the end, but what Yanghu needs is to hide it for a while, and after all the troops of the state army come out of the Flying Fox Mountain, there will be no need to keep this secret at that time.
For Lin Li, this letter is indeed a matter of effort, and he can write this letter without even lifting his hand.
Yanghu glanced at it and nodded, Lin Li really wrote neatly as required, this is a good opportunity for meritorious service, of course Lin Li did not dare to slack off, Yanghu specially sent his own personal soldiers, disguised as Lin Li's cronies, and went to Jingcheng Pass to deliver the letter.
After settling Lin Li and the others, Yanghu immediately sent someone to inform Cao Liang, who was still in Lingqiu, that he had taken Guangchang and asked Cao Liang's army to quickly march east and go to Youzhou.
Before Yanghu took Guangchang, Cao Liang had always stood still, because in terms of troops, it was enough to send a battalion of infantry battalions to attack Guangchang, even if there were more people and horses, they could only be crowded on the narrow and deep Flying Fox Road, and they couldn't be used at all.
Now that the infantry battalion has successfully taken Guangchang and opened the way for the army to advance eastward, the Bingzhou army, which has long been ready to stop, can finally embark on the journey.
Counting the infantry battalion's attack on Guangchang, it only took four and a half days before and after, which is quite high in terms of efficiency.
After Cao Liang received Yanghu's report, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, Yanghu really did not lose his hopes, and gave the first shot to Youzhou this expedition, without further ado, he immediately ordered that the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Yue Cavalry Battalion, the Tun Cavalry Battalion, the Shooting Sound Battalion, and the Xiandeng Battalion set off immediately, along the Flying Fox Road, and went straight to Guangchang.
The operation of the state army is the largest in history, even when the main force of the Sima army in Jinzhong last year, Cao Liang has never mobilized such a large army, it is obvious that this expedition to Youzhou, Cao Liang has made careful and sufficient preparations, and intends to take Youzhou in one go and create a new situation.
The horn of the counterattack to the Sima clan has been sounded, Youzhou will be the first stop of Cao Liang's counterattack, and then it will be Jizhou, unify the north of the Yellow River, and form a situation of cutting the river and ruling with Sima Shi, and then later, Cao Liang will cross the Yellow River, recover Luoyang, completely eliminate the Sima clan, and restore Cao's Jiangshan Sheji.
The revitalization of Cao Wei is Cao Liang's lifelong wish, and now he has finally taken the most critical step, the biggest opponent Sima Yi is no longer there, for Cao Liang, no one is qualified to stand in front of him, even if it is Sima Shi who inherited Sima Yi's Juelu, no, now Cao Liang's momentum is like a rainbow, God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and destroys Buddha, no matter who it is, he doesn't want to stand in his way anymore.
The Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and the Tun Cavalry Battalion marched one after another, walking in the narrow Taihang Gorge, and it was precisely because the infantry battalion opened the way for them in front and opened up a smooth and unimpeded road for them that their eastward march could be so smooth.
Otherwise, in such a mountainous terrain, no matter how strong and powerful the cavalry of the Bingzhou army is, they can only be obediently restrained, and they have no chance to give full play to their strengths and advantages.
It was only in the plains that the Jiaolong trapped in the shallow pool had a chance to soar into the sky, and they accelerated the speed of the march, eager to grow wings, and immediately flew out of the flying fox and killed the city of Youzhou in one go.
The Shooting Battalion and the First Battalion, which were dragging behind, were not to be left behind, and followed closely behind the cavalry contingent, never falling behind for a moment, and it was also more difficult for the cavalry units to get rid of them on this kind of road.
When the vanguard cavalry team has arrived in Guangchang City, the follow-up first camp has just set foot on the Flying Fox, fortunately, the order of each team is in order, there is no congestion, and the whole march process is very smooth.
Cao Liang and the think tank also moved with the army and went to Guangchang.
Before leaving, Cao Liang specially sent a letter to Xianhong and Liu Jing, who were attacking Jingcheng Pass, informing them that the task of feint to attack Jingcheng Pass had been successfully completed, and asked them to break away from the battle with 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 Jizhou army from counterattacking.
Maybe Lu Zhao will be angry after learning the true intention of the Bingzhou army, and it is even more likely to take advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Bingzhou army to attack Youzhou and attack Weize Pass again, so Cao Liang's requirements for Lianhong and Liu Jing are very clear, that is, to retreat quickly, hold the pass steadily, wait for the opportunity, and attack again.
Attacking Jizhou is also one of Cao Liang's strategic intentions, but at least he will not think about it until he takes Youzhou, so the top priority now is to do a good job in the defense of the first line of Weize Pass and not give Lu Zhao any opportunity to take advantage of.
Overall, Cao Liang still gave great trust to his father's two old ministries back then, and Cao Liang believed that they could do all this well.
