Chapter 1038 - Something Else
After eating and drinking, Biqiu Xiu got up and said goodbye, ready to find a confidant to study the writing of the crusade against Sima's inscription, after all, according to Biqiu Jian's requirements, this inscription is not very easy to write, and the diction is exquisite, and it is more deliberate.
However, as soon as he got up, Biqiu Xiu suddenly remembered something, and said to Biqiu Jian: "By the way, brother, Governor Cao Liang has repeatedly told him to beware of the people around him, especially the prison guard, saying that this person must be guarded." ”
"Oh," Biqiu Jian said in a slight surprise, "why did Cao Liang mention him for no reason?" ”
Biqiu Xiu shook his head lightly and said, "This little brother doesn't know, but when Cao Dudu mentioned him, he was very solemn, and asked the little brother to tell his brother. ”
Wei Qian is a person sent by Sima Yi, don't want Cao Liang to remind him, Biqiu Jian is naturally also deeply wary of him, not to mention that Wei Qian as a prison army, it has been more than a year since he arrived in Youzhou, because he is acting on the orders of Sima Yi, so the relationship with Biqiu Jian is not harmonious, and there are many conflicts about sending troops, and because Wei Qian's backstage is Sima Yi, although Biqiu Jian is in power in Youzhou, but there is no way to take Wei Qian at all, the two sides are harmonious on the surface, but in private they are secretly competing.
However, this time Sima Yi is dead, and Biqiu Jian is also determined to break with Sima's family, so Wei Qian, who has no backstage and backing, suddenly became worthless in the eyes of Biqiu Jian, and said unceremoniously that now Biqiu Jian wants to strangle Wei Qian, but it is just like strangling an ant, which can be destroyed with a raised hand, and it is effortless.
Biqiu Jian didn't understand what Cao Liang meant by deliberately reminding him to pay attention to Wei Qiang, now in Youzhou, Wei Qian has no soldiers, no power, no power, what to use to compete with him? Maybe Cao Liang thinks that Wei Qian has some ability and ability, but no matter how great his ability and ability are, it has to be related to the environment he is in.
Biqiu Jian smiled and said: "Cao Ziming is too worried, just a Wei Qiang, just relying on Sima Yi's momentum to fake the tiger's might, now that Sima Yi is dead, he is regarded as a grass mustard ant, which can be destroyed with a snap of his fingers, and it is not enough to cause trouble." But when you mention him today, you have some new ideas, so it is better to summon him and ask him what he means, if he is willing to submit to us, it will be of some use, if not, take his head to sacrifice the flag, it can be regarded as making the best use of everything. ”
In the final analysis, Wei Qiang, as the supervisor of Youzhou, can be regarded as a person with status and status, and the entire Youzhou, except for Biqiu Jian, in terms of rank and position, is the highest in Wei Qiang, if Wei Qian is willing to surrender to him, then other officials in Youzhou who are not related to Biqiu Jian will probably only look at his horse.
Originally, if he didn't mention this, Biqiu Jian didn't think about it for a while, but Biqiu Xiu said this, so that Biqiu Jian had to give birth to such an idea, originally he planned to kill Wei Qian to sacrifice the flag after the fact, but now there is a better way, you can use Wei Qian's influence to subdue other dissident forces, and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Although Youzhou is the base camp of Biqiu Jian and the place where he lives, due to the appointment and dismissal power of the imperial court in terms of personnel, Biqiu Jian cannot really cover the sky with one hand in Youzhou.
If Biqiu Jian is ready to raise an army to rebel, the first thing that needs to be cleaned up is those officials who are not loyal to himself but loyal to the imperial court, especially the county guards who hold some power over soldiers and horses.
In terms of status, none of these people have a higher status than Wei Qiang, and no one can be closer to Wei Qiang in terms of the relationship with the Sima family, Wei Zang is Sima Yi's personal minister, and Sima Yi's most trusted confidant, if Wei Qian can take refuge in himself, the impact must be far-reaching, and it can be a good shock to these dissident officials.
After all, most of these officials who are not their own descendants are appointed by the imperial court, and these appointments are those who took office before the Gao Pingling Incident and those who took office after the Gao Pingling Incident, that is to say, many officials are not necessarily loyal to the Sima clan, they are just ordered by the imperial court and loyal to the imperial court.
If Wei Qian is willing to surrender, then for other officials, the opposition will inevitably be much smaller, after all, even the henchmen of the Sima family have been lowered, so what else do they have to wait and see?
In fact, Biqiu Jian's biggest fear of raising troops came from Sima Yi, and secondly, there was another important factor, that is, from within Youzhou, after all, before he received the unanimous support of many officials in Youzhou, Biqiu Jian did not dare to act rashly.
Youzhou is a border state, the counties under its jurisdiction are all border counties, each county of the Taishou, more or less in their hands will have a certain number of soldiers and horses, if they are willing to follow Biqiu Jian to raise troops, it is just that, if they are unwilling, then these people will naturally become an opposition force, and when Sima's army comes, it will be combined inside and outside, forming a huge threat to Biqiu Jian.
If you can't even handle the internal affairs of Youzhou, how can you resist Sima's army?
Biqiu Jian is not without a way to deal with these dissident Taishou, he instructed Biqiu Xiu to summon these Taishou to Jixian County, that is, to prepare to take them all down in one fell swoop, those who obey me will prosper, those who oppose me will die, and those who are willing to submit to him can join his team, and those who refuse to submit will be killed.
Of course, it's not that Biqiu Jian's killing heart is heavy, but he can't help himself, and he refuses to surrender, he can only be executed to avoid future troubles, if he surrenders sincerely, Biqiu Jian will still be reused, the enemy is current, but when he uses people, if he really kills all the guards under his command, won't the soldiers and horses in the counties of Youzhou be all dragons without a leader, and they will be scattered.
If there is a good way to deter these dissident Taishou at this time, Biqiu Jian is still happy to adopt it.
Fang Cai Biqiu Xiu suddenly mentioned that Cao Liang asked him to beware of Wei Qian, which made Biqiu Jian's eyes brighten, anyway, Wei Qian is now a caged bird, a beast in prison, how can he escape from the palm of his hand, it is easy to kill him, but it has no value, if you can persuade him to surrender, it will not lose waste.
Thinking of this, Biqiu Jian asked Biqiu Xiu to do what he had to do, and sent other people to invite Wei Qian over, and now is indeed the time to talk to him.
