In fact, Biqiu Jian didn't talk nonsense, Youzhou is narrow from north to south and wolf from east to west, from the westernmost Dai County to the easternmost Lelang County, the span is really more than a thousand miles, if you really have to transfer troops from thousands of miles away, it is really not an easy task, a month's time, it is really not enough.

But in fact, this is also Biqiu Jian's prevarication, most of the troops in Youzhou are stationed in the western Liaoxi area, although the soldiers and horses are also stationed in the area of Lelang County, Liaodong County, but in order to prevent the resurgence of the Goguryeo people, the soldiers and horses stationed here will not be easily mobilized, that is to say, the people and horses who are preparing to go out to conquer the state this time actually do not include the army in the Liaodong area.

If Biqiu Jian only recruited soldiers and horses in the western Liaoxi area, that month's time would still be quite abundant.

Biqiu Jian is completely bullying Wei Qian for the first time, and he is not very clear about the garrison situation in Youzhou, so he said this, in fact, since receiving the holy decree, Biqiu Jian has not transferred troops at all, and the army in Youzhou has naturally not been assembled.

At this point, in fact, Biqiu Jian really underestimated Wei Qiang, don't look at Wei Qiang's only year, but he is erudite and talented, Xiaochang military, although he has never been to Youzhou, but after taking office as the supervisor of Youzhou this time, Wei Qian collected intelligence in many ways and had a general understanding of the situation in Youzhou.

The garrison of Youzhou is about 50,000 people, stationed in Liaoxi and Liaodong respectively, but this distribution is not even, the army stationed in Liaodong is only seven or eight thousand people, and most of the main force is stationed in Liaoxi.

Therefore, when Biqiu Jian mentioned the transfer of troops from Liaodong, he was clearly lying, the four counties in Liaodong were only garrisoned by seven or eight thousand people, and the average was less than two thousand people in each county.

Therefore, Biqiu Jian proposed to transfer troops from Liaodong, Wei Qian didn't believe it at all, but he didn't break it, just said: "Biqiu Governor, quelling the rebellion of the state is the expectation of the imperial court, Your Majesty's high hopes, you and I will be loyal to the king, and we should fulfill our duties, and I hope that the governor of Biqiu will gather the army as soon as possible, conquer and merge the state, clear the rebellion, and live up to Your Majesty's expectations." ”

Wei Qian is indeed more flexible, and he also knows that the relationship between Biqiu Jian and Sima Yi is not good, so he didn't mention Sima Yi at all, and kept saying that it was either the court or His Majesty, and used the name of the Son of Heaven to put pressure on Biqiu Jian.

How can Biqiu Jian not know his intentions, now Sima Yi has the power alone, Luoyang, basically Sima Yi's direct cronies, the Son of Heaven has already been reduced to a puppet, the so-called holy decree is not from Sima Yi's meaning, even Wei Qian who was sent to be the supervisor is undoubtedly a nail that Sima Yi planted beside him, Wei Qian has a mouthful of His Majesty, how long and short is His Majesty, I can't help but make Biqiu Jian secretly slander, this guy can really pretend to be garlic.

However, on the surface, Biqiu Jian couldn't refute it, so he could only respond in vain, and promised to gather the army as soon as possible and prepare for the expedition.

Although it is said that the arrival of the prison army has played a role in urging Biqiu Jian to a certain extent, but this role is still very limited, Biqiu Jian uses various excuses to prevaricate, in short, Biqiu Jian's side can be delayed, can be pushed and pushed, seeing that April is coming to an end, the Youzhou army has not yet been assembled.

Not only has the army not all assembled, but even the grain and grass, ordnance, materials, and supplies have not been gathered, as the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, but the Youzhou army is now short of everything.

For this reason, Biqiu Jian vomited bitterness on Wei Qian, saying that Youzhou is a bitter cold land in the extreme north, with a shortage of grain and grass, a shortage of materials, it is not easy to assemble the army, and the logistics supply is even more difficult, and he hopes that the imperial court can help solve these worries.

Wei Qian knows that this is Chiguoguo's blackmail, although it is said that Youzhou is vast and sparse, but no matter how you say it, it is not a problem to feed tens of thousands of troops, not to mention that the army's food and salary have always been paid in full before, and I have not heard of the lack of food and grass in Youzhou for so many years.

Since Wei Qian is here to serve as the supervisor of the Youzhou Army, it is his power to supervise and supervise the Youzhou Army, and similarly, he is also obliged to provide the necessary support and guarantee for the Youzhou Army.

Sima Yi's reply is also very simple, give it to him!

Sima Yi's purpose is also very clear, that is, to take advantage of the time when Biqiu Jiancong did not rebel, let him and Cao Liang fight as much as possible, no matter how fierce the fight is, as long as there is a battle, there will be casualties, which will reduce the strength of the Bingzhou army and the Youzhou army, the two tigers will fight, there will be an injury, even if there are no casualties, there will always be a wound, as long as they fight, Sima Yi's goal will be achieved.

And Sima Yi also estimated that Biqiu Jian would not send troops so happily, and he would definitely find various reasons to prevaricate, these reasons are reasonable or unreasonable, but if Sima Yi and Biqiu Jian have been so arguing, then the real benefit is the Bingzhou Army.

So in the face of Wei Qian's letter, Sima Yi did not hesitate to order all the grain and grass materials to be allocated to him, for Sima Yi, these grain and grass materials are not a scarce and urgent thing, even if Biqiu Jian is a ghost, it doesn't matter, what does he want Sima Yi to allocate to them, there will always be a time when he quits poverty, Sima Yi does not believe to meet his requirements, what other reason does he have not to send troops?

The grain and grass materials needed by the Youzhou army are not to be transferred from Luoyang, in fact, all these grain and grass materials come from Jizhou, and if they are transferred from Jizhou, it will not take long at all.

These things are indeed nothing to Sima Yi, who is rich and powerful, at least it is much smaller than the price paid by the Sima family to pay a ransom to Cao Liang to ransom Wang Yuanji.

After paying such a price, Sima Yi can't care about pursuing it at all, but obviously this account has already been recorded in Sima Yi's small book, and settling accounts after the autumn in the future may not allow Biqiu Jian to take advantage of anything.

Sure enough, after getting this grain and grass materials, it was difficult for Biqiu Jian to find any excuses, even if he had the intention to continue to drag on, but this was limited in the end, under the urging of Wei Qian, by the middle of May, the Youzhou army finally completed the final assembly, and all the troops were in place, so Biqiu Jian issued an order, and the Youzhou army left Jixian County, all the way to the west, and rushed towards the side of Bingzhou.
