Chapter 1034: Beware of the Guard

In fact, from the perspective of the demands of both parties, they are basically the same, so it is natural that a consensus can be reached in the end.

When Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling Mutiny, Biqiu Jian even had the impulse of King Qin, after all, he was deeply favored by Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming, and he was loyal to Cao from his thoughts, and he was not angry when he saw Cao's country fall into the hands of Sima Yi.

But what kind of person Sima Yi is, Biqiu Jian knows better than anyone else, when Sima Yi was in Liaodong, he built a Beijing Temple with 100,000 heads, Biqiu Jian has witnessed it with his own eyes, and his heart was shocked beyond recovery, and he was also stunned by Sima Yi's most cruel and tyrannical methods.

Sima Yi dealt with his political opponents, completely iron-blooded, decisive and ruthless, this scene also left an incomparable fear in Biqiu Jian's heart, and he shuddered at the thought of being an opponent with Sima Yi.

So when Cao Liang took the lead in raising the flag and raising troops in Bingzhou, Wang Ling also responded in Huainan, and for a while, the voice of the world to fight Sima was great, and in this context, Biqiu Jian was also ready to move, actively planned, and also wanted to join the ranks of the crusade against Sima Yi.

Although he had made full preparations for the army, he could not take the final step, he hesitated again and again, hesitated, waited and waited, and relied on and relied on, but in the end what he waited for was the news of Wang Ling's defeat.

As soon as this news came, the already weak flame in Biqiu Jian's heart was suddenly extinguished, and he no longer dared to have the slightest sense of resistance, so that Sima Yi ordered him to attack and merge the state, and he did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to lead troops to fight and merge the state.

However, Biqiu Jian's dispatch of troops is just to cope with errands, he may not be willing to work hard like Lu Zhao, typical work does not work, even if Sima Yi sends Wei Qian to supervise the army, Biqiu Jian will not be able to stake all his capital.

In fact, he is clear about Sima Yi's strategy, drive the tiger and devour the wolf, let them fight and lose, whether it is the Bingzhou army winning or the Youzhou army winning, the only one who will profit in the end can only be Sima Yi.

Therefore, Biqiu Jian has always held a wait-and-see attitude, he just has to wait for the results of the battle of Bingzhou before deciding what to do next.

In fact, Biqiu Jian was not optimistic about Cao Liang at the beginning, otherwise he would not have obeyed Sima Yi's orders, in his opinion, Cao Liang is very likely to lose this battle, if he takes refuge in Cao Liang, the result is estimated to die faster.

But to his surprise, Cao Liang not only did not fail, but also won a big victory, not only the situation of the annexation of the state, but also the situation of the whole world has changed greatly, so Biqiu Jian was busy sending Biqiu Xiu to try to befriend Cao Liang and form an alliance to fight against Sima Yi together.

Of course, Cao Liang will not refuse Biqiu Jian's request, but he has no good impression of Biqiu Jian, Cao Liang, who is suspicious and suspicious, resourceful and constant, the first rat at both ends, is not a person who can achieve great things, in history, Biqiu Jian launched the Huainan Second Rebellion, there was the best time, but he hesitated, delayed the fighter, and was finally broken by Sima Shi, and the whole clan was punished.

Therefore, Cao Liangcai asked Huan Fan to strongly demand that Biqiu Jian immediately issue a letter to discuss Sima Jian, officially break with Sima, and give up the illusion of stepping on two boats, otherwise the state side will refuse to form an alliance with it, and may send troops to attack Youzhou to avenge the previous one-arrow revenge.

Of course, this is not Cao Liang's intimidation for no reason, sending troops to Youzhou is already Cao Liang's established offensive strategy, if Biqiu Jian is willing to cooperate, it is naturally the best policy to surrender the army without a fight, if Biqiu Jian still has a hesitant attitude, and Sima is not clear, Cao Liang does not mind cutting through the chaos with a quick knife, and deciding the fate of Youzhou in a battle.

Because Huan Fan's attitude in this regard is unusually resolute, other things can be discussed, but there is no room for negotiation on this kind of principled issue, Biqiu Xiu can either agree or refuse, and must give a positive answer.

In the end, Biqiu Xiu still agreed to Huan Fan's request, promising that after he returned to Youzhou, he would discuss with Biqiu Jian, and issue a letter to discuss Sima Xuan as soon as possible, and set up a banner to support the imperial court.

This is also the cornerstone of the cooperation between the two sides, unanimously with the outside world, with the guarantee of Biqiu Jian, the next negotiations are very smooth, a few days later, the two sides basically reached an agreement.

At this time, Cao Liang also returned to Jinyang and personally met with Biqiu Xiu.

Biqiu Xiu's trip to the state this time can be called ups and downs, his earliest original intention was to see Cao Liang, but what kind of character Cao Liang is, how can he see it if he wants to see it, and only after reaching an alliance can Biqiu Jianxiu see Cao Liang's face.

However, although the process is tortuous, but the result is extremely ideal, basically realized the original intention of Biqiu Xiu, after obtaining the help of the state, the biggest worry of Biqiu Jian to raise troops is gone, and now Youzhou can make the final preparations and officially join the ranks of the anti-Sima clan.

Biqiu Xiu is very grateful to Cao Liang, if it were not for Cao Liang's promise, I am afraid that Biqiu Jian would have the courage to openly oppose the Sima clan.

Biqiu Xiu resigned to Cao Liang, now that the two sides have reached an agreement, next, we have to wait for Biqiu Xiu to return to Youzhou, and Biqiu Jian will make the final decision, after all, Biqiu Jian is the real lord of a state, Biqiu Xiu is just acting on his behalf, if there is no final approval of Biqiu Jian, then the two sides will talk back and forth, and in the end it will be a pile of waste paper, useless.

However, Biqiu Xiu said that he had received the highest authorization from Biqiu Jian for this trip, and unless there were special circumstances, Biqiu Jian would not easily break this covenant.

Cao Liang was the first to promise that Huan Fan would do things, he was naturally the most assured, Huan Fan could fight for the greatest interests in the covenant, and this was what he urgently needed now.

The Bingzhou army needs to expand to cope with the narrow terrain of Bingzhou, if you want to grow and develop, Cao Liang must jump out of the cage, Bingzhou is the base, it is the foundation of Cao Liang's rebellion against Sima, and Youzhou is the first step that Cao Liang needs to take to completely defeat Sima, and whether the first step is good or not is related to the success or failure of the great cause of Xingwei.

"It's up to people to plan things, it's up to heaven to make things happen, go back and tell Brother Ling, beware of the people around you, especially the prison guard, this person is not a good person, don't let him do a big thing." Cao Liang reminded Biqiu Xiu in particular.
