Chapter 1035 anxiously waiting
In fact, Cao Liang was not very familiar with Wei Guan. Although Cao Liang and Wei Guan were not much different from each other in terms of age, Cao Liang took office early and promoted quickly. He was promoted to the position of governor of Bingzhou more than ten years ago. At that time, Wei Guan was only a new official and served as the Shangshu Lang with a low rank, so there was no intersection between the two.
Wei Guan was born in the Wei family in Hedong. The Wei family in Hedong has always been a famous family in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Cao Wei periods. It originated from Wei Qing, a famous general in the Han Dynasty. He was famous for his generations. Wei Guan's father Wei Ji was once the Minister of Shang and was highly valued by Cao Cao. He served in the two dynasties of Emperor Wen and Emperor Ming, and was an important official of the court.
Wei Guan was not very famous in the early years. After all, although the Wei family was a prominent family, it was still a big difference compared to the real wealthy family. The land of Luoyang was hidden and the tiger was lying down. If Wei Guan wanted to make a name for himself, he had to wait for the opportunity.
Before the Gaopingling Incident, Wei Guan, who had a keen sense of smell, had defected to Sima Yi one step earlier. At that time, Cao Shuang was in power and had a lot of people, but Sima Yi was surrounded by a large number of people. There were few people who had defected to him except for those from his own lineage.
Wei Guan's political gambling was quite successful. Because of this, he was appreciated and valued by Sima Yi. This time he was able to serve as the military supervisor of Youzhou. As Sima Yi's eyes and eyes and eyes inserted into Youzhou, he was naturally the person Sima Yi trusted the most.
The reason why Cao Liang reminded Wuqiu Jian to pay attention to Wei Guan at this moment was because Cao Liang's understanding of Wei Guan came from history. In history, Wei Guan was a ruthless person. In the battle of Wei's attack on Shu, Deng Ai and Zhong Hui competed for merit. The situation was extremely chaotic. Many people were buried in it, and even Deng Ai and Zhong Hui were unable to escape. Only Wei Guan was wandering between the two and was able to protect themselves, which shows his extraordinary qualities.
What left the most impressive impression on Cao Liang was that Zhong Hui was originally killed, and Deng Ai, who was imprisoned, was expected to stand up, but Wei Guan was afraid that Deng Ai would take revenge on him and instructed Tian Xu to chase Deng Ai and his son and kill him and kill him. The ruthless methods were outrageous.
Cao Liang naturally had to pay more attention to such a tough character. After all, Wei Guan is a member of the Sima family. Such a person staying in Youzhou was originally a time bomb. I don’t know when it would be detonated. Wu Qiu Jian is already preparing to join forces with him. At this critical moment, Wei Guan must not let Wei Guan break up a big thing.
Wuqiu Xiu was slightly surprised. In his opinion, Wei Guan had no power or power in Youzhou, no soldiers or horses, and was purely a decoration. Apart from relying on Sima Yi to support him behind his back, I really don’t know what qualifications he has to gain a foothold in Youzhou.
Now that Wuqiu Jian has decided to join forces with Bingzhou to attack the Sima family, Wei Guan, who has lost his backer, has long been a bird in a cage. Wuqiu Jian can kill him with just one finger. Wuqiu Xiu didn't know that Cao Liang suddenly proposed to guard against Wei Guan, so he couldn't help but wonder if Wuqiu Xiu was really that powerful. Is Cao Liang really that good?
Although he was puzzled, out of courtesy, Yuqiu Xiu still respectfully accepted Cao Liang's suggestion and said, "Don't worry, the Grand Governor, my brother was prepared for Wei Guan and had sent someone to stare at him before. My brother had said before that if he was in charge, he would take Wei Guan to sacrifice the flag first."
In fact, Wei Guan was quite hated in Youzhou. He went to Youzhou as a military supervisor and regarded himself as an imperial envoy in the court everywhere, and issued orders to Wuqiu Jian. If it weren't for his repeated urging, Wuqiu Jian would not have been able to raise troops to invade the territory and get into evil with Bingzhou.
Therefore, Wu Qiu Jian was going to take Wei Guan to sacrifice the flag. It was very satisfying in the Youzhou army.
When Cao Liang heard this, he nodded slightly. He didn't care about Wei Guan's life and death. He just didn't let him ruin the Bingzhou and Youzhou alliance. Since Wu Qiu Jian had already left a backup plan, Cao Liang had nothing to say. He ordered Huan Fan to send Wu Qiuxiu out of the city, arrange people to escort all the way back to Youzhou.
After the Bingzhou affairs were completed, Wu Qiuxiu naturally returned home like an arrow. He walked all the morning and slept overnight and hurried back to Youzhou.
Although Bingzhou and Youzhou are not far apart, the journey is bumpy and there are still a lot of time delays. When Wuqiuxiu returned to Jixian, it was already the end of the year and the year was over. The calendar of Jiaping's three-year year was about to be turned over, and in a blink of an eye it was the fourth year of Jiaping.
Since Wuqiuxiu was sent to Bingzhou, Wuqiujian has been in a state of peace. Due to the obstruction of the road and the news is blocked, Wuqiujian cannot know how Wuqiuxiu is progressing and cannot sleep or eat.
Especially when the news of Sima Yi's death came, Wuqiu Jian was greatly excited. This was a huge favor. After all, the person Wuqiu Jian was most afraid of was Sima Yi. Now that Sima Yi died, his inner demons would be gone, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time could finally be relieved.
After Sima Yi's death, the world's pattern will surely be reshuffled. The time for Wuqiu Jian to wait for a long time has also come. He has ordered his confidant general to secretly prepare for the uprising.
Now everything is ready, and I only need the east wind, so I am waiting for the echo from Bingzhou.
But at this critical moment, the news was that it was impossible to wait on the left and right, and Wu Qiujian was frowning all day long.
Although Sima Yi is dead, the rest of his power is still there. Sima Shi inherited Sima Yi's position and still has quite strong strength in his hands. If Wu Qiu Jian rashly rebelled without foreign aid at this time, he would have no idea whether he could withstand Sima Shi's counterattack.
Therefore, the assistance from Bingzhou became Wuqiu Jian’s only reliance. If he could get Cao Liang’s help, Wuqiu Jian could do what he wanted to do with confidence. Without Cao Liang’s help, Wuqiu Jian would be unable to make a big deal, and it would be difficult to achieve great things.
Will Cao Liang agree to his request? To be honest, Wu Qiu Jian has no idea. After all, he led his troops to invade Bingzhou before, and indeed offended Cao Liang. If it were put before, Wu Qiu Jian might feel that it doesn't matter. It's no big deal to offend Cao Liang, and it's better to offend Cao Liang than Sima Yi.
But now is different from the past. After the Battle of Bingzhou, Cao Liang's status suddenly improved. Those who can defeat Sima Yi will naturally be respected by more people.
As the end of the year is approaching, the wind and snow are getting worse, and this winter in Youzhou is particularly cold, and Wuqiu Jian's mood is as cold as the weather in the 39th day.
He sat in the room, staring at the burning charcoal, and the flames were rising and falling, and Wuqiu Jian's mood also fluctuated with the ups and downs. At this moment, the manager hurried in and said to him excitedly: "Master, good news, the second master has returned from Bingzhou!"
