The news of the Youzhou Army's dispatch soon spread to Jinyang, causing an uproar within the high-level of the Hezhou Army. 6 8 6 8 6 read 6 books, .□.≠o
Since Sima Yi returned to Luoyang, the Bingzhou army has been in a state of preparation, so no matter when and where Sima Jun launched an attack, it would not surprise the Bingzhou army, for this decisive battle, the Bingzhou army has been waiting for more than two years.
But to the surprise of the people, it was not Sima Yi's descendant troops who took the lead in attacking, but the Youzhou army led by Biqiu Jian, and the generals of the state army were a little confused and couldn't figure out Sima Yi's true intentions.
Huan Fan pointed out sharply: "At present, Sima Yi formed a new cavalry in Luoyang, and he was not capable of launching a full-scale attack, he assigned Biqiu Jian to lead the Youzhou army to attack Bingzhou, and his intentions were nothing more than two, first of all, he ordered the Youzhou army to attack Bingzhou, the main purpose was not to attack but to disturb, destroy our army's preparations for war, and disrupt our army's strategic deployment; The second is that Sima Yi has always been not on good terms with Biqiu Jian, and Biqiu Jian is also secretly anti-minded, but he is afraid of Sima Yi's power and does not dare to act rashly, so he has to be subject to Sima Yi's dispatch of troops and state. ”
Cao Liang deeply agrees with Huan Fan's analysis, Biqiu Jian is also one of the only remaining loyal ministers of the Cao Wei clan, and Sima Yi is not the same as the raccoon dog, the two rebellions in Huainan in history were initiated by Biqiu Jian and Wen Qin, but time has changed, Biqiu Jian has not been transferred out of Youzhou at the moment, and he still has the soldiers and horses in Youzhou.
But compared to Wang Ling, Biqiu Jian lacked a little decisiveness, but also lacked a little self-confidence, originally the Huainan Rebellion was the best opportunity for Biqiu Jian to raise troops, but he looked forward and backward, suffered from gains and losses, so that the best opportunity was lost, and now Sima Yi destroyed Wang Ling and returned to Luoyang, Biqiu Jian did not dare to act rashly. ⊕ 8⊕8⊕ read ⊕ books, .◇.o≮
Sima Yi took a fancy to this weakness of Biqiu Jian, so in the name of the imperial court, he ordered him to send troops to attack and merge the state, Sima Yi's move was a wishful calculation, that is, the two tigers compete, there must be an injury, no matter who is injured, it is the result that Sima Yi wants to see.
Cao Liang said: "What does Mr. think we should do?" ”
Huan Fan smiled and said: "Don't worry, although Biqiu Jian came with Youzhou soldiers, he was only coerced by Sima Yi, and he may not really have the heart to fight to the death with our army, so the lord doesn't have to worry." Now the Youzhou army sent troops from Dai County to attack Yanmen County, the lord only needs to send a general, refuse to defend with danger, if necessary, he can also let a few cities give him a record, I believe that Biqiu Jian is also a person who knows the times, and Yanmen County will be safe. ”
Cao Liang said: "Biqiu Jian is not afraid, and he may not be willing to fall for Sima Yi, but I heard that Sima Yi appointed Wei Qian as the supervisor, this person is a powerful character, so he has to be guarded." ”
The reason why Cao Liang regards Wei Qian as a ruthless role is mainly based on his historical positioning, the battle of Wei to destroy Shu, Deng Ai and Zhong Hui each led a large army into Shu, and the two soldiers fought for merit, and in the end, neither of them died well, but Wei Qiang, who served as the supervisor, was able to stand alone in the cracks, which shows that he does have something unique.
The situation at that time was indeed extremely dangerous, Deng Ai and Zhong Hui both had the idea of standing on their own in Shu in order to grab merit, and the guards who had no soldiers and no power in their hands were the slightest careless, and they would end up dead without a place to bury.
However, Wei Qiang's means of dealing with the crisis are indeed very high-level, after Deng Ai entered Chengdu, he was proud of his achievements, which caused Sima Zhao to be very suspicious, and Zhong Hui ignited the fire, so Sima Zhao ordered the arrest of Deng Ai.
Zhong Hui was extremely treacherous, and only gave Wei Qian a small number of men and horses to carry out the order, if Deng Ai resisted arrest, Wei Qian would definitely become Deng Ai's ghost, and in this way, Deng Ai's rebellion would be confirmed.
Wei Qian had to take orders, but he was very smart, claiming that he would only take Deng Ai, and the rest would not be investigated, so Deng Ai's subordinates surrendered one after another, and Deng Ai was lonely and could not speak, so he had to be arrested.
When Zhong Hui rebelled, he coerced the generals, and Wei Qian was among them, but he was vain, superficially obedient, took the opportunity to escape, gathered his subordinates, and Fan Gong killed Zhong Hui.
After controlling the overall situation, Wei Qian sent people to hunt down and kill Deng Ai, which shows that he is meticulous and ruthless. Later, Wei Qian returned to the dynasty and was awarded the title of third duke for his merits.
But this is all a later story, at this time Wei Qian is still just a fledgling young man, just past the year of establishment, his reputation is not obvious, Huan Fan naturally can't pull out his catties, and said disapprerovitically: "Since this person is sent by Sima Yi, it must have its own uniqueness, but Youzhou is the world of Biqiu Frugal, he has been running Youzhou for many years, and his foundation is strong, even if Wei Qian is capable, he may not be able to control the overall situation of Youzhou." The lord may wish to repair a letter to Biqiu Jian, Chen said that it is very powerful, and he wants to come to Biqiu Jian is also a person who knows the times, and knows that he will fly away from the bow and hide the rabbit and the dead dog to cook, and this road will be worry-free. ”
Huan Fan doesn't look down on Wei Qiang, which is also expected by Cao Liang, after all, Wei Qian does not have any outstanding reputation and achievements now, and Biqiu Jian is indeed covering the sky with one hand in Youzhou, and Wei Qiang's supervision army is only playing the role of beating the side drum, which may not be able to shake Biqiu Jian's status.
As long as he can persuade Biqiu Jian to stand on the same front with him, even if he doesn't stand up against Sima Yi with a clear banner, as long as he doesn't contribute to the army, it will be enough.
Huan Fan's idea of giving Biqiu Jian a letter is good, because of the long distance before, Cao Liang did not have any contact with Biqiu Jian, and now Biqiu Jian has led his troops to Yanmen County, and it is time to communicate with him.
So Cao Liang gave Huan Fan the task of writing the letter, since he had such an idea, then he must have already thought about the content of the letter, and it was naturally appropriate for him to catch the knife. This kind of letter is enough for Cao Liang to have a headache when he thinks about it.
Huan Fan didn't shirk it, so he agreed immediately, but before going out, Huan Fan reminded Cao Liang of one more thing: "Lord, in addition to Biqiu Jian, there is also a person to guard against." ”
"Who?" Cao Liang raised his eyebrows and asked with a little doubt.
"Zhenbei General Jizhou Mu Lu Zhao. This person is guarding Jizhou, this time it has been several times that the soldiers have committed Weize Pass, this time Biqiu Jian was coerced by Sima Yi to attack Yanmen County, it is likely that Lu Zhao will also send troops from Jizhou to respond, so the lord must not neglect the defense of the first line of Weize Pass, and can not give Lu Zhao any opportunity to take advantage of. Huan Fan said solemnly. 11. Baidu read the latest chapter of "The Last Three Kingdoms 2 Xingwei Jiezhong Literature" for free for the first time.
