Chapter 1154: Surrender the Guard

This time, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion played the role of the ultimate killer again, chasing for thousands of miles, chasing Zhang Wu from Liucheng outside the Saiwai to Zhangwu in Jizhou in one go, and successfully annihilated Wei Qian and Wang Qi's Youzhou Legion, completing the realization of Cao Liang's set goal.

This military operation, in fact, was relatively hasty, because Cao Liang only deployed the corresponding blocking plan in western Liaoning, and the heavy troops of the state army were gathered outside the fortress to deal with the Xianbei people and capture Liucheng, which was completely in line with the trend, and after defeating Yuwen Xianbei, he easily captured Liucheng and opened the door to attack Liaodong.

The loss of Liucheng made Wei Qian completely panicked, and he desperately abandoned Linyu Pass and fled, which also disrupted Cao Liang's strategic deployment.

If Wei Qian and Wang Qi continued to hold on to Linyu Pass after the fall of Liucheng, Cao Liang would not use any means against Linyu Pass, but would instead attack Liaodong first, making Linyu Pass a real isolated city.

The Youzhou army spent a great deal of effort to operate Linyu Pass, and they gathered heavy troops in Linyu Pass, carefully deployed the defense line, and waited for the battle, just to block the Bingzhou army in western Liaoning, so that they could not cross Liaodong by half a step.

The defense of Linyu Pass can be poured into Wang Ji's lot of effort, although the terrain of Linyu Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but its status can not be compared with the Shanhai Pass known as the first pass in later generations, in order to build this fortress that can block and state troops, Wang Ji still spent a lot of thought and energy.

And suddenly, the Bingzhou army bypassed Linyu Pass and captured Liucheng behind Linyu Pass, which made the entire Liaodong defense line paralyzed instantly, such a result, Wang Qi and others must be unacceptable for a while.

For ordinary people, most people will choose to wait and see at this time, because the loss of Liucheng will not threaten the defense of Linyu Pass, but only the loss of defensive value, and a defensive town like Linyu Pass, which has invested so much effort, and suddenly gives up, it is difficult for anyone to accept emotionally.

Based on this consideration, Cao Liang also felt that he could postpone his move on Linyu Pass, but he didn't expect Wei Qian to be decisive at this time, and after getting the news of the loss of Liucheng, he didn't stay for a moment, and abandoned the pass and fled.

After Cao Liang got the news, he immediately sent the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to pursue, but whether he could catch up or not was only at his disposal.

After all, the distance between Liucheng is too far, even if the speed of the cavalry battalion is extremely fast, but with such a long-distance attack, no one can accurately calculate whether they can catch up with the Youzhou army and annihilate it before the Youzhou army reaches Jizhou.

Judging from the results, the operation of the Xiaocai battalion is still very powerful, they have gone through a long-distance attack, and finally annihilated this Youzhou army under Zhangwu City, captured Wei Qian alive, killed Wang Qi, and won a complete victory.

Wen Qin was not greedy for merit, but reported according to the truth, if it were not for the "full cooperation" of Jia Cheng, the magistrate of Zhangwu County, it would be almost impossible to completely annihilate the Youzhou army, and it was precisely because Jia Cheng refused Wang Qi to enter the city that he gave the Xiao cavalry battalion the opportunity to completely annihilate the Youzhou army.

After the battle, Jia Cheng took the initiative to surrender, and now with Wen Qin, he has returned to Linyu Pass, waiting to meet Cao Liang.

For this situation, Cao Liang was more surprised, he understood, this Jia Cheng should be Jia Chong's brother, belonging to a side branch of the Jia family, it stands to reason that the Jia family has a very shallow relationship with the Sima family, Jia Chong's father Jia Kui and Sima Yi have a good relationship, with Jia Chong's later meteoric prosperity, Jia Cheng is even a marginal figure of the Jia family, and the future is also open.

But Jia Cheng's actions in Zhangwu City are incredible, if he really wants to take refuge in the state, but there is no movement in advance, which is enough to prove that Jia Cheng has no connection with the state army.

But Wang Ji has a dignified Youzhou assassin history, but it was planted in the hands of a county magistrate, Jia Cheng refused Wang Qi to enter the city for whatever reason, objectively speaking, it was indeed a great favor for the Xiaocai battalion, and it was impossible to enter the city, the Youzhou army was like a lamb to be slaughtered, and it was not the opponent of the Xiaocai battalion at all, and the destruction of the whole army was also a matter of an instant.

Since Jia Cheng has meritorious, Cao Liang of course did not hesitate to reward, met Jia Cheng in Linyu Pass, and named him the county of Liaoxi, and immediately took office.

When Jia Cheng heard this, he was overjoyed, the main reason why he surrendered and merged with the state army was that he was forced to do so, afraid that the imperial court would hold him accountable, and after surrendering and merging the state army, at least this layer of worry was gone.

According to his idea, after surrendering and merging with the state army, if he can keep his previous official position as the head of a county, he can be satisfied, even if he can't be the county commander, then it is better to be a low-level official than to lose his head.

But I didn't expect that Cao Liang actually promoted him to be the county of Liaoxi, the county and the county order, there is a gap between the cloud and the mud, the county is the Taishou, as long as he is a good county, there is a good chance to be promoted to the position of the Taishou, and becoming the Taishou means that the career has entered a new stage, Jia Cheng never dreamed that he had a confused decision, and he would get such a big benefit.

Jia Cheng kowtowed to Cao Liang again and again, and thanked him a thousand times.

After just a few words, Cao Liang has learned about Jia Cheng's personality, this guy is just an opportunist, in fact, he doesn't have any real talent, but after all, he is meritorious, and Cao Liang can't bury his credit, so Cao Liang arranged him to Liaoxi County as a county minister, in charge of government affairs and civil affairs, as for military power, Cao Liang will not arrange it for him at all, like him, it is easy to defect, for his own interests, anyone can betray.

The reason why Cao Liang made such an arrangement was to tell the world that as long as he was willing to surrender and annex the state, no matter what kind of person he was before, he would be hired in his original position or even rewarded according to merit, and the state army would not treat any meritorious man badly.

waved away Jia Cheng, Cao Liang ordered the Chinese army to bring Wei Qian up, compared to an insignificant person like Jia Cheng, Cao Liang was more willing to accept a capable and talented person like Wei Cheng.

Now Cao Liang's account is full of talents, but the civil officials are like morning stars, and the combination of civil and military has been seriously tilted.

So far, Cao Liang has not found a suitable candidate for the Youzhou Thorn History, and after hearing that Wei Qian was captured, Cao Liang suddenly had a bold idea, that is, to let Wei Qian be the Youzhou Thorn History.
