Chapter 1030: Wallhead Grass
It is almost Cao Liang's tradition to hold daily meetings, even if he is on the march, as soon as he arrives at the camp, Cao Liang will gather all the generals and strategists and hold a meeting, even if there is no urgent matter, and this tradition will not be interrupted.
Cao Liang always believes that a person's ability is limited after all, even if you are no matter how big or small, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, and gather all the strategists and brainstorming, so that you can avoid omissions to the greatest extent.
At the same time, this is also an important way to cultivate the enthusiasm of the military generals, if everything is their own arbitrary, the strategists are useless, the military generals are like marionettes, such a military camp, isn't it a lifeless, everyone only knows to act according to orders, there is no initiative and enthusiasm, they will not have any responsibility, such an army, just a mechanical army, no creativity, no imagination, and no vitality.
Therefore, if we want to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, we must give them an environment to speak their minds freely, and the establishment of this military council has provided them with a good platform.
Before receiving Du Yu's letter, the generals and strategists only discussed some very routine things, such as grain and ordnance, and everyone couldn't help but be puzzled when they saw Cao Liang laughing after reading the letter.
Previously, although the plan to take Youzhou first had been decided, both Cao Liang and the generals thought that it would be a more difficult task, and at this moment Cao Liang just read a letter, but said that the major event in Youzhou had been decided, which couldn't help but make everyone very curious, what was written in this letter that made Cao Liang so confident to solve such a tricky matter.
Cao Liang first handed over the letter to Huan Fan, and then passed it on to everyone, after Huan Fan read it, he said: "Biqiu Jianlai is really a wall grass, when Sima Yi attacked the state with great momentum before, he was a tiger to fight, and the army invaded Youzhou, here Sima Yi was defeated, he took the initiative to retreat, and also sent a messenger to come to the peace talks. ”
Pei Xiu also laughed and said: "Du Yuankai's response this time is very wonderful, he almost didn't feed the wild wolf when he left that Biqiu Xiu in the wilderness for half a day, hahaha, I think it's ridiculous when I think about the embarrassed appearance of Biqiu Xiu." The people of their Youzhou Biqiu family, if they want to fight, they want to make peace, they simply regard me and the state as nothing, this time to give them a lesson, it is more appropriate. ”
Everyone also smiled, in fact, everyone did not have a good impression of Biqiu Jian in Youzhou, it stands to reason that Biqiu Jian was not Sima Yi's descendant force, and there was also a deep grudge between him and Sima Yi, Sima Yi seized power in the Luoyang Mutiny, and Biqiu Jian, who was a feudal official, should have stood up like Cao Liang and Wang Ling, and had a clear banner and Sima Yi as an enemy.
However, because he was afraid of Sima Yi's power, he was afraid of Sima Yi's power, and he did not dare to openly disobey Sima Yi, and he obeyed Sima Yi's order to attack Bingzhou.
And his attitude of not working hard is also unflattering, which not only offends Bingzhou, but also angers Sima Yi, if it is not for the Bingzhou army to defeat Sima Yi this time, then the next object to be cleaned up by Sima Yi must be Biqiu Jian.
Now that Sima Yi has just been defeated, Biqiu Jian immediately fell with the wind, and took the initiative to show favor to Bingzhou, which is really an out-and-out wall-head grass, and the wind is blowing over there.
Du Pre is not a good stubble, he was stationed in Yanmen Pass during this time, I don't know how many times he has been harassed by the Youzhou Army, and he has no good impression of Biqiu Jian, you send a messenger, I have to abide by the etiquette to entertain you, that is such a beautiful thing, Du Pre did not let the wild wolf swallow them, it is already merciful enough.
Cao Liang was also noncommittal about this, after all, he had also sent someone to contact Biqiu Jian before, hoping that he could abandon the darkness and turn to the light, join the righteous deeds, and support the community, but Biqiu Jian had been hesitant and unclear before the situation in the state was clear, and his attitude was also obscure, so that the two sides fought a tug-of-war in Yanmen Pass for more than a year.
Cao Liang was obviously not surprised at all by Biqiu Jian's sudden dispatch of envoys to negotiate peace, if Biqiu Jian continued to fight with a clear attitude like Lu Zhao, it would be beyond Cao Liang's expectations.
However, this is obviously also a good thing for Cao Liang, in terms of offensive strategy, Youzhou has been listed as Cao Liang's preferred target, if it can really achieve the goal of surrendering without a fight, it is undoubtedly a superior choice.
Of course, Cao Liang will not estimate the situation too optimistically, the main reason why Biqiu Jian is willing to be the grass on the wall is to protect himself, he regards the territory and army of Youzhou as the top priority, and his face is only worth a few dollars for Biqiu Jian, so whether it is to obey Sima Yi's orders or take the initiative to negotiate peace now, its purpose is to maintain its status in Youzhou.
Therefore, Biqiu Jian sent his younger brother Biqiu Xiu to merge with the state, intending to submit to Cao Liang, which is simply nonsense, how could Biqiu Jian, who has worked hard to run Youzhou for many years, give it to others for no reason?
In Cao Liang's opinion, the biggest purpose of Biqiu Jian's faction this time was to form a mutual aid alliance with him, and the result of the battle of the state finally made Biqiu Jian see clearly that the Sima clan is not invincible in the world, as long as he joins forces with Cao Liang, it is entirely possible to balance the Sima clan.
Biqiu Jian will not be loyal to Sima Yi with all his heart, but he knows Sima Yi too well, so he has a deep-seated fear of Sima Yi, and he does not dare to give birth to the slightest rebellion. Now as soon as Sima Yifang failed, Biqiu Jian immediately hardened, it is estimated that he has not yet received the news of Sima Yi's death, if he really knows that Sima Yi is dead, it is estimated that Biqiu Jian's courage will be greater, and his steps will be faster.
No matter what Biqiu Jian thinks, it doesn't matter to Cao Liang, whether it is an offensive and defensive alliance, whether it is friendship and mutual assistance, as long as Biqiu Jian breaks with the Sima clan, it will be good news for Cao Liang, and one more friend is better than one more enemy.
Now Cao Liang's biggest opponent is only Sima Shi, uniting all the forces that can be united, which is Cao Liang's purpose, only in this way can he strengthen himself, weaken the enemy, and win the final victory.
