"Publish a document on the crusade against the Sima clan?" Biqiu Jian muttered to himself, with a slight hesitation on his face.

To tell the truth, in Biqiu Jian's plan, after joining forces with Cao Liang, he was not going to publish anything to discuss Sima Jianwen, because once the article was published, it would mean a complete break with Sima and become a real rival, the kind that never dies, and this kind of practice that leaves no room for anything is not what Biqiu Jian wants to see.

Therefore, when he heard Cao Liang ask him to immediately release a letter on Sima Xuan, he had a hint of hesitation.

Biqiu Xiu naturally knew Biqiu Jian's thoughts, so he said: "Brother, now is also the time for us to make a decision, Cao Liang made it clear that if we can't stand up against the Sima clan clearly, the state side will not cooperate with us, and even they will send troops to Youzhou to avenge the previous revenge." ”

Biqiu Jian's brows were tightly locked, Cao Liang's attitude really made him more entangled, and Biqiu Jian had always hoped that he could be free from the two major forces, left and right.

Biqiu Jian also has no great ambitions, no idea of dominating the world, his greatest hope is to hold the three-third of an acre of land in Youzhou, and not let others get involved, so Biqiu Jian's strategy is to try to make friends with all parties, Mingzhe to protect himself, you fight to the death and I have nothing to do with him, as long as he can guard Youzhou, everything will be fine.

But the current situation does not allow him to have the idea of stepping on two boats, whether it is Sima Shi or Cao Liang, they are forcing him to express his attitude, which one to support and which one to oppose, the third way is completely a dead end, and it does not exist at all.

Biqiu Xiu experienced a trip to the state, and it seems to be more thorough than Biqiu Jian, Cao Liang's side, want them to break away from the Sima clan, this is the basis of cooperation, there is no room for bargaining, as for sending troops to Youzhou, whether it is a threat or there is really such a threat, Biqiu Xiu is unknown, but if they still do not express their position this time, the state side will not form an alliance with them at all.

"Brother, now is the time, it's time for us to show our attitude, it's not a way to hesitate like this, Cao Liang's attitude is quite clear, they don't distribute the text, they won't cooperate with us, if you want to compete with Sima Shi, you must form an alliance with Bingzhou, otherwise we will be alone!"

Biqiu Jian pondered for a long time, and said to Biqiu Xiu: "Okay, you go down and prepare, find a good writing officer, polish a piece of writing, write as gently and tactfully as possible, and don't try to provoke Sima Shi." ”

Biqiu Xiu couldn't help but smile secretly bitterly in his heart, this brother of his, is too indecisive, since it is a crusade against Sima's text, it represents the attitude of breaking with Sima's family, as soon as this article comes out, it is difficult to collect the water, write gently and tactfully and write tougher and more intense, in essence, there is no difference, Biqiu Jian at this time, still such an attitude, it is really helpless.

Biqiu Xiu gave up his promise, the text is not difficult to write, just need to find a good writing officer, and it can be easily done, but the fate and future of Youzhou in this article is what they need to consider most carefully.

"This matter should be kept very secret, and no one should be allowed to know about it in advance." Biqiu Jian made a special confession.

Changing the flag, this is definitely an earth-shattering event, although Biqiu Jian has made some basic preparations for the rebellion in advance, but the scope is only limited to his own personal confidants, you know, although Biqiu Jian is the governor of Youzhou, but it is not that every official in Youzhou is appointed and dismissed by him, in fact, in order to prevent the governor and the assassin from being arbitrary, the ministers of each county are directly appointed and dismissed by the officials of the imperial court, so these are too conservative ministers, Whether it can follow Biqiu Jian to raise troops against the Sima clan is still a big question.

Of course, this is not an absolute problem, Biqiu Jian has been running Youzhou for many years, he has been in charge of the military and political power of Youzhou, holding the soldiers and horses of Youzhou in his hands, even if there are really a few people who are too guarded, he can also easily send troops to suppress, in short, the overall situation of Youzhou has always been firmly in the hands of Biqiu Jian, and it is almost impossible for others to shake his position.

However, the rebellion is an act of rebellion after all, and Biqiu Jian is still somewhat weak, so before the incident, these preparations must naturally be kept secret, and the truth will not be revealed until the moment when the text is really announced.

Biqiu Xiu said: "Half of the Taishou ministers of the counties in Youzhou are not our cronies, once something happens, how should these people be handled?" ”

A touch of ruthlessness flashed in Biqiu Jian's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The New Year is coming soon, and the order is sent to the ministers of the counties and states to summon them to Jixian County in the name of celebrating the New Year." You immediately start preparing a document and announce it to the world on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, if these ministers are willing to start things with me, they will be the ministers of the humerus, if not, they will be killed on the spot! ”

Biqiu Xiu finally saw Biqiu Jian's fortitude and ruthlessness, and laughed: "Brother, this is the true character of a hero you should have, when you conquered Goguryeo twice, my brother killed the Quartet, how heroic it was, and today I finally saw my brother's demeanor of course." ”

Biqiu Jian showed a wry smile on his face, in fact, Biqiu Jian is also a fierce general who can conquer and fight, when he conquered Goguryeo, Biqiu Jian overcame the terrain disadvantage of high mountains and lush forests, bravely attacked, twice broke the king of Dongchuan of Goguryeo, killed the king of Dongchuan in embarrassment, and did not dare to spy on Liaodong for more than ten years.

Maybe it's because he has been in power for too long, the heavier the power, the less sharpness he has, since he sat in the position of the governor of Youzhou, Biqiu Jian is suffering from gains and losses, he tried hard to make himself hold the power in his hands, but it was like holding a handful of sand, the tighter he clutched, but he found that the sand in his hands was losing more.

Biqiu Jian wanted to meet the source left and right, but in the end he found that the left and right were dead ends, according to his own thinking, there was no way out at all, and the more he walked, the narrower and narrower he became, and the more he walked, the more dangerous he became.

Now it is indeed necessary for him to show the courage to break Goguryeo back then, put it to death and then live, now it seems that he has no way to retreat, in this case, he must break and stand up, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, this is a road of no return, either life or death.
