Chapter 891: Time and Fortune are also Fate

Time also! Luck also! Fate!

Maybe this is Biqiu's thrifty life, when the opportunity was placed in front of him, they didn't cherish it, they didn't grasp it, and when they really lost it, they regretted it.

It's a pity that there are all kinds of medicines sold in this world, but there are no regret medicines, if you miss it, you miss it, and it is impossible to save it.

Sima Yi may really know more about Biqiu Jian, and knows that he can't make a big deal if he is indecisive, so he dares to deliberately not take any precautions against Youzhou.

In fact, Sima Yi was also gambling, after all, the troops he had at hand at that time were really limited, and the people who led him to Huainan alone were 200,000 people, Yongliang's army could not move, and the siege of the state was the top priority, so Sima Yi did not want to guard against Youzhou, but at that time he did not have rice to cook, and there were no soldiers to adjust, so he could only come to gamble on this.

Character determines fate, and Biqiu Jian's character flaws basically determine that he is not a person who can do big things, so even if the battle in Huainan is fierce and Sima Yi lacks skills, Biqiu Jian has been hesitant, looking forward and backward, and he has never been able to make up his mind.

Sima Yi's bet was indeed successful, until he returned to Luoyang, there was no movement in Youzhou, and Biqiu Jian's last chance was lost.

Even if Biqiu Jian did not rebel, Sima Yi was not ready to let him go, because Sima Yi knew very well that the main reason why Biqiu Jian did not dare to raise troops was that he was very jealous of himself, and he was indeed old, the destiny of heaven, and time was running out.

Eliminate evil, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, Sima Yi will never leave any hidden dangers for his descendants and grandchildren, whether it is Cao Liang or Biqiu Jian, these hostile forces, when he is alive, must be eradicated.

Of course, there is a matter of priority, after eliminating Wang Ling, Sima Yi's number one enemy is Cao Liang himself, and Biqiu Jian can only be ranked second at best, so Sima Yi's priority to eliminate is Cao Liang in Bingzhou, no matter whether Biqiu Jian really sent troops to fight Cao Liang or Yang Fengyin disobeyed, these are not too important to Sima Yi, anyway, Biqiu Jian is also on Sima Yi's blacklist, and sooner or later he will be eliminated.

This time, Sima Yi deliberately mobilized Youzhou to attack and merge with the state, which is a good thing to let them fight each other, but Sima Yi also knows that if he lets Biqiu Jian fight hard, it is not at all now, and the so-called two tigers fighting each other is just a formality, and it will not play a role in making them kill each other.

If Sima Yi can't expect this, then he is really not Sima Yi.

The main reason why Sima Yi insisted on letting Biqiu Jian go to war was to let Biqiu Jian drag down a merger army as much as possible, so when he launched an attack, the pressure on the frontal battlefield would be much less.

On the battlefield, it is not only necessary to calculate addition, but sometimes also to calculate subtraction, although it is impossible for Biqiu Jian's men and horses to be loyal to him Sima Yi, this addition is not established, but the addition is not established, but the subtraction is real, after all, in order to prevent the Youzhou army, the state army did send a battalion of men and horses to Yanmen County, so this subtraction is completely valid.

However, just one subtraction is enough to change the defense situation of the governor, so Sima Yi also needs to strengthen the forces of the eastern front, so that Cao Liang can shift the focus of defense from the west and south to the east and north.

With Biqiu Jian's procrastination of attack, it is already very good to attract 10,000 men and horses of the Bingzhou army, Sima Yi no longer expects Biqiu Jian to do more, although he sent Wei Qian to be the supervisor, but Sima Yi also knows that Wei Qian can act as his eyes and ears at most, and he can't shake Biqiu Jian's position at all for the time being.

Since this is the case, Sima Yi naturally has to find another way, and Lu Zhao, the general of Zhenbei, is the most convenient weapon for him.

Although Lu Zhao and Sima Yi did not work together, and Lu Zhao did not get any help from Sima Yi in his previous career promotion, even when Lu Zhao became the general of Zhenbei, he relied more on his own efforts.

But Lu Zhao is a person who understands current affairs, it stands to reason that the imperial court promoted him to Jialu, and the one who needs him to be grateful to Dai De the most is naturally the imperial court, especially the first emperor Cao Rong, who has the grace of knowing Lu Zhao, but after the Gaopingling Incident, Lu Zhao quickly fell to Sima Yi and became Sima Yi's vanguard to deal with the state.

Knowing the current affairs as a junjie, of course, Lu Zhao prides himself on being a junjie, because he knows very well that after the success of Sima Yiduo Quan, there are only two forces left within the Wei State, the first is to support Sima Yi, and the second is to oppose Sima Yi, in addition, there is no third way to choose.

In fact, this is quite normal, those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me die, Sima Yi has strong power, he will never allow the existence of his hostile party, even if it is not possible to maintain neutrality, these forces will all be liquidated by Sima Yi.

Lu Zhao understood this, so he chose to take refuge in Sima Yi as soon as possible, so that he could get back the glory and wealth he wanted, and seal his wife and son.

Of course, Sima Yi would not exclude those who came to join him, although Lu Zhao was not his descendant, he could still become a force he could rely on.

Lu Zhao has already attacked and merged the state twice, so the third time he wants him to attack the state, there is no excuse, when Lu Zhao attacked Weize Pass, he usually tried his best, without considering the loss of his own men, he hoped that by his bravery, he would become a person that Sima Yi could trust.

Therefore, Sima Yi is still quite relieved of Lu Zhao, as long as the men and horses of Jizhou are dispatched in a big way, it will attract more than just a battalion of the Bingzhou army, if Lu Zhao fights well enough, it is not necessary to attract the main force of the Bingzhou army.

However, no matter how hard Lu Zhao attacked, it could only be regarded as a feint, and Sima Yi's real strategic intention was still in the south, to be precise, Hedong County in the southwest.

The last time he attacked and annexed the state, Sima Yi chose Shangdang County, which was closest to Luoyang, perhaps because Shangdang County was too close to Luoyang and seriously threatened the safety of Luoyang, so Sima Yi brazenly launched an attack from Hanoi and invaded Shangdang County.

Facts have proved that Sima Yi's choice was wrong, and he did not achieve the ideal results in Shangdang, so this time he re-attacked and merged with the state, and Sima Yi had to readjust his strategic deployment.
