In fact, from the perspective of the demands of both parties, it is basically the same, so it is natural to reach a consensus in the end.

Wuqiu Jian had actually had the desire to rebel against Sima. When Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling Mutiny, Wuqiu Jian even had the urge to serve the king. After all, he was deeply grateful to the Emperor Ming of Wei, Cao Rui, and was loyal to the Cao family in his thoughts. Seeing that the Cao family's country fell into Sima Yi's hands, he was resentful.

But Wuqiu Jian knew better than anyone else about Sima Yi. When Sima Yi was in Liaodong, he built Jingguan with 100,000 heads. Wuqiu Jian had witnessed it with his own eyes. At that time, his heart was shocked to the point of being unresolved, and he was also shocked by Sima Yi's most cruel and tyrannical methods.

Sima Yi dealt with political enemies with a complete iron-blooded skill, decisive and ruthless killing. This scene also left Wu Qiu Jian with great fear. When he thought of being an opponent with Sima Yi, he felt chill.

So when Cao Liang took the lead in Bingzhou to raise the flag and raise the army, Wang Ling also responded in Huainan. For a moment, the world's voices of Sima were loudly criticized. Under this background, Wu Qiu Jian was also ready to make an active plan and wanted to join the ranks of attacking Sima Yi.

But his suspicious personality made Wu Qiu Jian stand still and never make up his mind. Although he had made sufficient preparations for the uprising, he could not take the last step. He hesitated and wandered, waiting and relying on it again and again, and finally waiting for news of Wang Ling's defeat.

As soon as this news came, the already faint flame in Wuqiu Jian's heart was extinguished and he no longer dared to resist. So when Sima Yi ordered him to attack Bingzhou, he did not dare to disobey and had to lead troops to attack Bingzhou.

However, Wu Qiu Jian's dispatch of troops was just to deal with the errands. He might not have to fight hard like Lu Zhao. Typically, if he didn't work hard, even if Sima Yi sent Wei Guan to supervise the army, Wu Qiu Jian would not be able to put all his capital on it.

In fact, he was clear about Sima Yi's strategy, driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf, and letting them fight both sides. Whether it was the Bingzhou army or the Youzhou army, the only one who made the profit in the end was Sima Yi.

Therefore, Wu Qiu Jian has always been waiting and watching. He only decided what to do next after the Battle of Bingzhou is concluded.

In fact, Wu Qiu Jian did not favor Cao Liang at the beginning, otherwise he would not have obeyed Sima Yi's orders. In his opinion, Cao Liang was likely to be defeated in this battle. If he defected to Cao Liang, he would probably die faster.

But to his surprise, Cao Liang not only did not fail, but also won a great victory. Not only the situation in Bingzhou, but also the situation in the whole world changed drastically. Therefore, Wu Qiu Jian hurriedly sent Wu Qiu Xiu to come, trying to make friends with Cao Liang, form an alliance, and jointly fight against Sima Yi.

Of course, Cao Liang would not refuse Wu Qiu Jian's request, but he had no good feelings for Wu Qiu Jian, a man. He was suspicious and suspicious, and he was resourceful and constantly. He was not a person who could accomplish great things. In history, Wu Qiu Jian launched the second rebellion in Huainan. There was the best opportunity, but he hesitated and missed the opportunity to fight. He was eventually defeated by Sima Shi and killed all his clan.

That's why Cao Liang asked Huan Fan to strongly demand that Wu Qiu Jian immediately issue a manifesto to fight against Sima, formally break with the Sima family, and give up the fantasy of placing on two ships. Otherwise, Bingzhou would refuse to join the alliance and might send troops to attack Youzhou to avenge the previous 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 Wu Qiu Jian is willing to cooperate, he will defeat others without fighting, which is naturally the best strategy. If Wu Qiu Jian is still hesitant and has nothing to do with the Sima family, Cao Liang would not mind cutting the mess quickly and deciding the fate of Youzhou in a fight.

Since Huan Fan's attitude towards this aspect is extremely firm, other things can be discussed, but there is no room for negotiation for such principled issues. Wu Qiu Xiu either agree or refuse, and must give a positive answer.

In the end, Wu Qiu Xiu agreed to Huan Fan's request, promising that after he returned to Youzhou, he would discuss with Wu Qiu Jian, issue a manifesto to challenge Sima as soon as possible, and raise the banner of supporting the court.

This is also the cornerstone of cooperation between the two sides. It is unanimous to the outside world. With Wuqiu Jian’s guarantee, the subsequent negotiations were smooth. After a few days, the two sides basically reached an agreement.

At this time, Cao Liang also returned to Jinyang and personally met Wu Qiuxiu.

Wu Qiu Xiu's trip to Bingzhou this time was a turbulent and turbulent one. His earliest intention was to meet Cao Liang, but what kind of person Cao Liang was, he could not come back as soon as he wanted to see him. Only after reaching the alliance, Wu Qiu Jian's scholar met Cao Liang.

However, although the process was tortuous, the result was an extremely ideal. Wuqiu Xiu's original intention was basically realized. After obtaining the help of Bingzhou, Wuqiu Jian's biggest concern for the uprising of the army was gone. Now Youzhou can make final preparations and officially join the ranks of the anti-Sima family.

Wu Qiuxiu thanked Cao Liang very much. If it were not for Cao Liang's promise, I am afraid that no matter how brave Wu Qiujian was, he would not dare to openly oppose the Sima family.

Wu Qiu Xiu said goodbye to Cao Liang. Now that the two sides have reached an alliance, they will wait for Wu Qiu Xiu to return to Youzhou and Wu Qiu Jian will make the final decision. After all, Wu Qiu Jian is the real leader of a state, and Wu Qiu Xiu is just acting on his behalf. If Wu Qiu Jian does not have Wu Qiu Jian's final approval, then after talking, the two sides will eventually be a pile of waste paper, which is useless.

However, Wuqiu Xiu said that his trip had received the highest authorization from Wuqiu Jian. Unless there was a special situation, Wuqiu Jian would not easily destroy this covenant.

Cao Liang nodded and agreed. He was naturally the most at ease with Huan Fan when doing things. Huan Fan could win the greatest benefits in the alliance, and this was what he urgently needed now.

The Bingzhou army needed to expand to cope with the narrow terrain of Bingzhou. If it wanted to grow and develop, Cao Liang had to jump out of the cage. Bingzhou was the base area and the foundation for Cao Liang to resist the Sima family. Youzhou was the first step that Cao Liang needed to take to completely defeat the Sima family. Whether the first step was good or not was related to the success or failure of the great cause of the Wei Dynasty.

"Planning is up to others, and success is up to heaven. When you go back, tell me that you should beware of the people around you, especially the military guards. This person is not a good person, so you must not let him ruin major events." Cao Liang specifically reminded Wu Qiuxiu.
