For this expedition, the state side mobilized almost all the resources that could be mobilized, and all the people and horses were ordered to set off, and they all assembled to Lingqiu as quickly as possible.

And Lingqiu has also become the base camp of the Bingzhou army, all the troops participating in the war are gathering here, all the grain, grass and heavy supplies are concentrated here, and Yanghu has also become busy, he not only has to take on the task of fighting the outpost, but also has to receive the materials delivered from all directions, and the small Lingqiu City has also become overcrowded and crowded.

With the scale of Lingqiu City, it can't accommodate more than 60,000 men and horses and nearly 100,000 people, and most of the troops who arrived in advance can only be stationed outside Lingqiu City, waiting for Cao Liang's next order.

The first to arrive at Lingqiu was not the fastest cavalry battalion, but the shooting battalion stationed in Yanmen Pass, Du pre-in after receiving Cao Liang's order, the first time to set off, because Yanmen Pass is much closer to Lingqiu than Jinyang, so Du pre-first rushed to Lingqiu, and Yanghu's infantry battalion to meet.

Soon, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion also rushed to Lingqiu one after another, and only the slower ones landed first and lagged behind, but it is estimated that it will be three or two days, and all the expeditionary troops will arrive.

Cao Liang and his think tank arrived in Lingqiu with the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and with the command center in place, the expedition was also imminent.

In this attack on Youzhou, Cao Liang's main attack was a blitzkrieg, and he had to take advantage of the opportunity of the civil strife in Youzhou to calm down and the situation was unstable, kill him by surprise, and capture Youzhou in one fell swoop with lightning speed.

In order to achieve this goal, Cao Liang demanded that all parties must fully cooperate, and must complete the assembly in Lingqiu before the first day of February, and swear to go out on the second day of February.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised his head, this day is really good, although Cao Liang does not believe in any feng shui superstitions, but on the second day of February, he sent troops to Youzhou, which can be regarded as a piece of praise, and more importantly, the soldiers are very fast, and they can send troops on February 2, it is already Cao Liang who has compressed the time to the extreme, and at this speed to complete the entire pre-war preparations, it is definitely a god speed.

You must know that after forming an alliance with Biqiu Jian, Cao Liang has no intention of sending troops to Youzhou for the time being, even if he sends Yanghu's infantry battalion to Lingqiu, it is also a normal delivery procedure, in fact, Cao Liang only germinated the idea of sending troops after receiving the news of the Youzhou incident.

However, Cao Liang's move to establish an advance base in Lingqiu has made a great contribution to this expedition, and it is precisely because of the existence of this bridgehead that many links have been omitted for the state army, and all the troops have a foothold after arriving at the front line, and all the baggage materials have a place to receive, and all the preparations before the expedition are also carried out in an orderly manner.

Many people can't help but admire Cao Liang's foresight, seemingly useless idle chess, but it has played a vital role, and the state army can complete a series of preparations before the war in this short period of more than ten days, and Lingqiu, the forward base, is indeed indispensable.

However, from Lingqiu to the land of Yan Zhao, there is still a dangerous road to go, that is, known as one of the eight Taihang Flying Fox, from Lingqiu to Guangchang, and the state army only out of the Flying Fox and take Guangchang, in order to take Youzhou in the north, go south to Jizhou, and crisscross the land of Yanzhao.

Although Yanghu had made full preparations before, he went to Feihu several times to survey the terrain on the spot and draw a geographical map, but he still didn't know much about the situation in Youzhou, so after Cao Liang arrived at Lingqiu, he urgently summoned Biqiu Xiu as soon as possible.

In fact, the day when Biqiu Xiu left Bingzhou was not far away, that is, more than a month, but even Biqiu Xiu didn't expect that in this short month, such a big change had happened, and the vicissitudes of the world were unexpected, so seeing Cao Liang again made Biqiu Xiu feel like a world away.

Biqiu Xiu stayed in Lingqiu for more than ten days, and the injuries on his body were seven or eight percent better, but what he thought about day and night was revenge, he couldn't eat sweetly, he couldn't sleep at night, and the whole person looked very haggard.

Although Yanghu had already assured him that the state army would definitely send troops to avenge him, Biqiu Xiu was still a little worried, after all, Yanghu's words could not represent Cao Liang, as a prince, Cao Liang had too many things to consider, and he could not send troops and horses to avenge Biqiu Jian with one mind.

Even if Cao Liang agrees to send troops, can it be a simple matter to send troops, the grain needs to be prepared, the army needs to be mobilized, there is no matter how many months, this series of preparations may not be completed, and the situation in Youzhou is changing day by day, if Wei Qian and Wang Qi are given enough time, they can integrate the soldiers and horses of Youzhou, and they have the capital to compete with the army of Youzhou, and if Biqiu Xiu wants to take revenge, it will become more difficult.

What's more, behind Wei Qian and Wang Ji, there is Sima Shi and as a backer, if Sima Shi sends reinforcements again, even if Cao Liang dispatches a large army, he may not be able to gain anything.

Therefore, Biqiu Xiu's greatest wish is to hope that Cao Liang can send troops immediately, and it is best to send out troops and horses within a month, but Biqiu Xiu also feels that this possibility is not very likely, Cao Liang has not prepared for the expedition in advance, and if he attacks in a hurry, it will backfire.

What Biqiu Xiu didn't expect was that Cao Liang was not only ready to send troops, but also immediately put them into action, not only sending troops to fight, but also personally leading the army, which shows how much Cao Liang attaches importance to the battle of Youzhou, and his marching speed can also be called god speed.

After seeing Cao Liang, Biqiu Xiu was weeping and crying to the ground: "My brother originally wanted to marry the governor, raise major events together, and help the community, but he was killed by a traitor and failed to fulfill the contract, so I implore Cao Dudu to avenge my brother, eradicate the traitors such as Wei Qian and Wang Qi, and make a wish to die to repay him." ”

Cao Liang personally helped him up, and said with relief: "Brother Ling is loyal to the first emperor, understands the righteousness, and is really a model for us, but the destiny is not blessed, and the teacher dies before he takes the lead, and the hero is full of tears. ”

Biqiu Xiu was moved, what kind of identity Cao Liang is, that is the real lord of a state, not those assassins appointed by the imperial court, his words can be described as a word, since he personally promised to avenge Biqiu Jian, then this blood feud that made Biqiu Xiu want to pierce it, there is really hope to revenge!
