Time! Luck! Destiny!

Perhaps this is Wuqiu Jian's fate. When the opportunity is placed in front of him, they do not cherish it or grasp it. When they really lose it, they regret it.

It’s a pity that there are all kinds of medicines in this world, but there are no ones who sell regret medicines. If you miss it, you miss it. It’s impossible to recover it again. It’s hard to recover it. This is the reason.

Sima Yi might really have a better understanding of Wuqiu Jian and knew that he was indecisive and could not become a great man, so he dared to deliberately not take any precautions against Youzhou.

In fact, Sima Yi was also gambled. After all, the troops he had was indeed limited at that time. There were only 200,000 people leading to Huainan. Yongliang's army could not move, and the besieging Bingzhou was the top priority. Therefore, Sima Yi did not want to guard against Youzhou, but at that time he did not have any rice to cook and had no soldiers to adjust, so he could only come to bet on this one.

Character determines destiny, and Wuqiu Jian's personality flaw basically determines that he is not a capable person. Therefore, even if the battle in Huainan is fierce and Sima Yi is unable to do anything, Wuqiu Jian has been hesitating and looking forward, and never makes up his mind.

Sima Yi did succeed in this bet. Until he returned to Luoyang, there was no movement in Youzhou, and Wu Qiu Jian's last chance was lost.

Even if Wu Qiu Jian did not rebel, Sima Yi was not going to let him go, because Sima Yi knew very well that the main reason why Wu Qiu Jian did not dare to raise troops was that he was very afraid of himself. He was indeed old and had no time to go. Once he really fell down, there would be no one who could check and balance Wu Qiu Jian. With Sima Shi Sima Zhao and others, Wu Qiu Jian would definitely not take them seriously, so there would be a high possibility of Wu Qiu Jian's rebellion in the future.

To eliminate evil and cleanse the roots, Sima Yi will never leave any hidden dangers to his descendants. Whether it is Cao Liang or Wu Qiu Jian, these hostile forces must be eradicated on his day of his lifetime.

Of course, things have priority. After destroying Wang Ling, Sima Yi's number one enemy was Cao Liang. Wu Qiu Jian could only rank second at best. So the one Sima Yi had to eliminate was Cao Liang from Bingzhou. Whether Wu Qiu Jian was really sending troops to attack Cao Liang or lip service, these were not very important to Sima Yi. Anyway, Wu Qiu Jian was also on Sima Yi's blacklist, and sooner or later he would be eliminated.

This time, Sima Yi deliberately mobilized Youzhou to attack Bingzhou. It was a good thing that could make them fight with the two tigers, but Sima Yi also knew that if Wu Qiu Jian fought desperately, it would be completely different from the present. The so-called fight between the two tigers was just a formality and could not play a role in letting them kill each other.

If Sima Yi could not calculate this, then he would be really not Sima Yi.

The main reason why Sima Yi insisted on letting Wuqiu Jian go to war was that Wuqiu Jian would hold up a Bingzhou army as much as possible, so when he launched an attack, the pressure on the frontal battlefield would be much less.

On the battlefield, not only do addition, but also subtraction is also necessary. Although Wuqiu Jian's men cannot be loyal to Sima Yi, this addition is not true, but addition is not true, and subtraction is real. After all, in order to prevent the Youzhou army, the Bingzhou Army indeed sent a battalion of troops to Yanmen County, so this subtraction is completely valid.

But just one subtraction is enough to change the defensive situation of Governor Bing, so Sima Yi still needs to strengthen the strength of the Eastern Front and let Cao Liang shift the center of defense from the west to the south to the east and north.

With Wuqiu Jian's procrastination and procrastination, it was already very good to attract 10,000 Bingzhou troops. Sima Yi no longer expects Wuqiu Jian to do more. Although he sent Wei Guan to be the supervisor, Sima Yi also knew that Wei Guan could only act as his eyes and ears at most, and he could not shake Wuqiu Jian's status for the time being.

Since this is the case, Sima Yi naturally had to find another way, and General Lu Zhao of Zhenbei was one of his most convenient tools.

Although Lu Zhao and Sima Yi did not work together, Lu Zhao did not receive any help from Sima Yi when his career was upgraded. Even when Lu Zhao became General Zhenbei, he relied more on his own efforts.

But Lu Zhao was a person who knew the current affairs. It is natural that the court needed to be grateful to him the most for promotion and bonus to him. Especially the late emperor Cao Rui, who was even more grateful to Lu Zhao. However, after the Gaopingling Incident, Lu Zhao quickly turned to Sima Yi and became Sima Yi's vanguard against Bingzhou.

To be a hero in the current affairs, Lu Zhao certainly claimed to be a hero because he knew very well that after Sima Yi successfully seized power, there were only two forces left in Wei. The first was to support Sima Yi, and the second was to oppose Sima Yi. Apart from this, there was no third way to choose.

In fact, this is quite normal. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Sima Yi has a strong power. He will never allow an enemy side to exist. Even if it is not possible to remain neutral, all of these forces will be liquidated by Sima Yi.

Lu Zhao understood this, so he chose to defect to Sima Yi as soon as possible, so that he could get the glory and wealth he wanted and win the favor of his wife and son.

Of course, Sima Yi would not reject those who came to surrender to him. Although Lu Zhao was not his direct line, he could still become a force he could rely on.

Lu Zhao has attacked Bingzhou twice, so he has no refusal to attack Bingzhou for the third time. When Lu Zhao attacked Weize Pass, he usually tried his best and did not consider the loss of his troops. He hoped to use his courage to become a person Sima Yi could trust.

So Sima Yi was quite relieved of Lu Zhao. As long as Jizhou's troops were dispatched in large quantities, they would attract more than just Bingzhou Army's troops. If Lu Zhao fought well enough, it would not be certain that he could attract the main force of Bingzhou Army.

However, even if Lu Zhao tried his best to attack, it could only be considered a feint. Sima Yi's real strategic intention was still in the south. To be precise, Hedong County in the southwest.

The last time he attacked Bingzhou, Sima Yi chose Shangdang County, which was closest to Luoyang. Perhaps because Shangdang County was too close to Luoyang, it seriously threatened the security 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. In Shangdang, he did not achieve ideal results, so this time he re-attacked Bingzhou, Sima Yi would re-adjust his strategic arrangements.
