After Cao Liang learned the news, he was very calm, because Wang Ji's actions had long been expected by him, if Wang Ji gave up Linyu Pass, but fled back to Liaodong in one go, it would show that Wang Ji was by no means a qualified general, and he didn't even have the most basic strategic vision.

No one else knows, but Cao Liang must know that Linyu Pass is the famous Shanhaiguan in later generations, and there are countless Xiongguan in the world, but Shanhaiguan dares to be called the first pass in the world, which shows the importance of Shanhaiguan's status.

Of course, Shanhaiguan is also known as the first pass in the world is also a matter of the Ming Dynasty, and the political situation of the Ming Dynasty at that time has a close relationship, because Shanhaiguan defended the first strong enemy of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens, so the status of Shanhaiguan suddenly became particularly important, and finally the death of the Ming Dynasty is indeed closely related to Shanhaiguan.

Although the status of Linyu Pass can not be compared with Shanhaiguan, but as the throat of Liaodong, Wang Ji is naturally doubly concerned, and the troops withdrawn from Jixian County are all deployed to Linyu Pass and Liucheng, which shows Wang Qi's determination to stick to this route.

If the Bingzhou army wants to advance eastward, Linyu Pass is also an unavoidable pass, and it must be taken unconditionally.

However, Cao Liang was not in a hurry to march, he had just taken the counties of Liaoxi in Youzhou, and he still needed to receive and integrate these territories, not to mention the long-distance Liaodong, a journey of thousands of miles, Cao Liang must make proper arrangements for the rear to ensure the unimpeded flow of the grain route, so that the expedition can be guaranteed.

Now the news of the loss of Youzhou must have reached Luoyang, Cao Liang does not believe that Sima Shi will be indifferent, and sit back and ignore the loss of Youzhou, so Sima Shi will definitely send troops to Youzhou, if Cao Liang hastily leads his troops east at this time and fights to Liaodong, then the entire Youzhou will be empty, and Sima Shi will be like entering a no-man's land.

Once Youzhou is lost, the grain route of the Bingzhou army will be cut off, and tens of thousands of troops will inevitably fall into a desperate situation, so Liaodong must be fought, but it is necessary to grasp the opportunity, at least after worrying about the future, it is possible to send troops.

Therefore, Cao Liang temporarily ignored Wei Qian and Wang Qi who fled to Linyu Pass, and only sent scouts to the area of Linyu Pass to find out the garrison situation of the Youzhou Army.

This time in one fell swoop to take the seven counties of Liaoxi in Youzhou, Cao Liang really needs to integrate well, Wei Qian and Wang Qi's evacuation is very hasty, after they retreated from Jixian County, the other county guards also fled from the wind, and the state army only received Jixian County, and the other cities have not had time to receive, and the counties of Youzhou are in a state of emptiness, resulting in rampant mobs, rampant banditry, and the order of the counties in Youzhou is almost paralyzed.

Of course, this situation is not what Cao Liang wants to see, and now that Youzhou has been included in his rule, there is no reason to let the people live in dire straits.

Cao Liang immediately attacked with heavy fists, and sent troops to Dai County, Shanggu County, Yuyang County, Youbeiping County and Liaoxi County respectively to suppress bandits and investigate the chaos and calm the people's hearts.

Youzhou has been in a state of turmoil since the death of Biqiu Jian, and the scope that Wei Qian and Wang Qi can control is only limited to the area of Yan Kingdom, and they are also beyond the reach of the whip in the chaos of other counties.

Some of the remnants of the party loyal to Biqiu Jian, after escaping from Jixian County, they made a rebellion in other counties in Youzhou, and Youzhou itself is a place where bandits are full of bandits, when Biqiu Jian was alive, these bandits did not dare to be too presumptuous, and now no one is restrained, naturally they are holding a staff with open fire, making waves, looting everywhere, and even openly besieging the county, and confronting the county soldiers in various places, resulting in the spread of soldiers in Youzhou, and the situation is out of control.

Cao Liang's heavy attack this time was aimed at these rampant bandits, after those county guards led their troops to evacuate, some bandits actually entered the house, occupied the official mansion, and claimed to be too guarded, which was really rampant.

Is it tolerable, which is unbearable, since Cao Liang has already taken over Youzhou, he will never allow these bandits to make waves and bring disaster to the people of Youzhou, so Cao Liang issued instructions to all walks of life, to crack down on these bandits who are openly disorderly, to eliminate evil, and never be soft.

People from all walks of life immediately took action, and the combat power of the state army was so terrifying, these bandits were just a rabble in a county, and as soon as the state army came out, they naturally fell apart and ran away.

The Bingzhou army acted on the orders of Cao Liang, showed no mercy to these bandits, divided into joint attacks, encircled and pursued and intercepted, and in just half a month, tens of thousands of people were beheaded, and the situation in the entire Youzhou was completely new.

Of course, while cracking down on bandits, Cao Liang also treated these rebellious forces differently, and for Biqiu Jian's old troops, he mainly recruited and pacified them, and absorbed them as much as possible for his own use.

At this time, the role of Biqiu Xiu was highlighted, Cao Liang originally intended to appoint Biqiu Xiu as the assassin of Youzhou, but Biqiu Xiu stubbornly resigned, thinking that his talent and prestige were not enough for this position, and asked Cao Liang to choose someone else.

So Cao Liang appointed Biqiu Xiu as Youzhou's don't drive, and Biqiu Zhong was Yuyang's Taishou, as for the candidate for Youzhou's assassination, it was temporarily vacant, and then Cao Liang had his own arrangements.

After Biqiu Xiu became a special driver, he naturally served Cao Liang wholeheartedly, and spared no effort when recruiting Biqiu's old department.

As one of the only two remaining members of the Biqiu family, Biqiu Xiu still has great appeal in Youzhou, and he ascended to the top and shouted, and many people who used to be the old department of Biqiu came to vote.

After the death of Biqiu Jian, these old people scattered, in order to escape the pursuit of Wei Qian and Wang Qi, some even fled to the mountains, but many people remembered Biqiu Jian's old kindness, and did not disperse, but secretly gathered together, wanting to avenge Biqiu Jian.

At this time, after Biqiu Xiu returned to Youzhou, there were many followers, but Biqiu Xiu was not an ambitious one, and he knew that the era of the Biqiu family was over, and Youzhou in the future would be Cao Liang's world, and he was already satisfied that he could take revenge with the help of Cao Liang's power, so he insisted on resigning from the post of assassin of Youzhou, in fact, it was also to avoid suspicion.

The old department that surrendered this time, Biqiu Xiu did not recruit the idea of his subordinates, but gathered them and handed them over to Cao Liang.

Biqiu Xiu's actions are undoubtedly smart, he knows that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and now Youzhou has changed the sky, if he continues to support the army and respect himself, he will inevitably be suspicious of Cao Liang, rather than this, it is better to retreat behind the scenes and be a rich man with peace of mind.
