Chapter 1038 is of another use

After eating and drinking, Wu Qiu Xiu stood up and said goodbye, preparing to find a trusted assistant to study the way to write the manifesto of the attack on Sima. After all, according to Wu Qiu Jian's requirements, this manifesto is not easy to write. You should pay attention to the words and consider it more.

But as soon as we got together, Wu Qiu Xiu suddenly remembered something and said to Wu Qiu Jian: "By the way, brother, Governor Cao Liang, before leaving, he repeatedly reminded him to be careful of the people around him, especially the military guards, who said that this person must be guarded."

"Oh," Wu Qiu Jian was slightly surprised and said, "Why did Cao Liang mention him for no reason?"

Wu Qiuxiu shook his head gently and said, "I don't know this little brother, but when Governor Cao mentioned him, he was particularly serious and asked me to tell my brother to tell him."

Wei Guan was sent by Sima Yi. If Cao Liang did not remind him, Wu Qiu Jian was naturally wary of him. Moreover, as a military supervisor, Wei Guan had been in Youzhou for more than a year. Because he acted under the order of Sima Yi, his relationship with Wu Qiu Jian was not harmonious, so there were many conflicts in the matter of sending troops. Moreover, since Wei Guan's backstage was Sima Yi, although Wu Qiu Jian had great power in Youzhou, he had no choice but to take Wei Guan at all. The two sides were harmonious on the surface, but they were secretly competing in private.

However, Sima Yi was dead this time, and Wuqiu Jian also decided to break with the Sima family. Therefore, Wei Guan, who had no background and backing, suddenly became worthless in Wuqiu Jian's eyes. To put it bluntly, Wuqiu Jian wants to strangle Wei Guan to death now, but it is like strangling an ant to death. It can be wiped out without any effort.

Wu Qiu Jian didn't understand that Cao Liang deliberately reminded him to pay attention to what Wei Guan meant. Now in Youzhou, Wei Guan had no soldiers, no soldiers, no power or power, what should he use to compete with him? Perhaps Cao Liang felt that Wei Guan had some skills and ability, but no matter how great his ability and ability, it must be related to the environment he was in. A person who was alone and hard to speak, no matter how capable he was, he could not cause any storm.

Wuqiu Jian smiled loudly and said, "Cao Ziming is too worried. A mere Wei Guan is just relying on Sima Yi's power to pretend to be a tiger. Now that Sima Yi dies, he regards it as a mustard of grass and ant, which can be destroyed by a blink of ant, and it is not a problem. However, when you mention him today, you will have some new ideas from Brother Wei. It would be better to summon him and ask him what he means. If you are willing to submit to us, it would be of some use. If you refuse, using his head to sacrifice the flag, it would be considered as a full use of everything."

After all, Wei Guan, as the Youzhou military supervisor, is also a person with status and status. In the entire Youzhou, except for Wuqiu Jian, the highest rank in Wei Guan is the one who is the one who is not Wuqiu Jian's direct line. If Wei Guan is willing to surrender to him, then other officials in Youzhou who are not Wuqiu Jian's direct line will probably follow his horse.

If he didn't mention this matter, Wu Qiu Jian hadn't remembered it for a while. Wu Qiu Xiu happened to say this, so that Wu Qiu Jian would have such an idea. He originally planned to kill Wei Guan to sacrifice his flag to establish his authority after the plan was completed, but now he has a better way to use Wei Guan's influence to subdue other alien forces and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Although Youzhou was Wuqiu Jian's base camp and the place where he relied on, due to the court's appointment and removal power in personnel, Wuqiu Jian could not truly cover the sky in Youzhou.

If Wu Qiujian is ready to rebel, the first thing that needs to be cleaned up is those officials who are not loyal to themselves and the court, especially the prefects of various counties who hold some military power. Wu Qiujian must take down these people in order to successfully rise up and fight against the Sima family.

In terms of status, no one of these people has a higher status than Wei Guan. In terms of closeness and alienation with the Sima family, no one can be closer to Wei Guan. Wei Guan is Sima Yi's imperial envoy, and is Sima Yi's most trusted confidant. If Wei Guan can surrender to him, the impact will inevitably be far-reaching, and it can be a good shock to these dissident officials.

After all, these officials who are not their own lineage are mostly appointed by the court. These appointments include those who took office before the Gaopingling Incident, and those who took office after the Gaopingling Incident. In other words, many officials are not necessarily loyal to the Sima family. They are just ordered to be loyal to the court and to the court.

If Wei Guan was willing to surrender, then the opposition would inevitably be much smaller for other officials. After all, even the Sima family's confidants surrendered, so what else can they watch?

In fact, Wu Qiu Jian’s biggest fear of rebellion came from Sima Yi, and there was another important factor, that is, it came from within Youzhou. After all, before receiving the unanimous support of many officials in Youzhou, Wu Qiu Jian did not dare to act rashly.

Youzhou is a border prefecture, and the counties under its jurisdiction are all border counties. The prefect of each county will have a certain number of troops and horses in their hands. It would be fine if they were willing to follow Wuqiu Jian to raise an army. If they refused, then these people will naturally become opposition forces. When the Sima army comes, they will cooperate inside and outside, posing a huge threat to Wuqiu Jian.

To fight against foreign countries, we must first settle the internal affairs. If we can’t even handle the internal affairs of Youzhou, how can we resist the Sima army?

There was not no way Wuqiu Jian could deal with these dissident prefects. He ordered Wuqiu Xiu to summon these prefects to Jixian, just to prepare to take them all down in one fell swoop. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. Those who are willing to surrender will join his team. Those who refuse to surrender will be killed.

Of course, it is not that Wu Qiu Jian's desire to kill is too heavy. Instead, those who are forced to surrender can only be executed to avoid future troubles. If they surrender sincerely, Wu Qiu Jian will still use it. The enemy is in the face of people. If all the prefects under him are killed, wouldn't the soldiers and horses of the counties in Youzhou be left without a leader and a mess?

If there is a good way to shock these dissident prefects at this time, Wu Qiu Jian would still be willing to adopt it.

Just now, Wu Qiu Xiu suddenly mentioned that Cao Liang asked him to guard the defense, which made Wu Qiu Jian's eyes bright. Anyway, Wei Guan is now a bird in a cage and a beast in a prison. It is impossible for him to escape from his palm. Killing him is easy, but it has no value. If he can persuade him to surrender, he will not lose his use of the waste.

Thinking of this, Wuqiu Jian asked Wuqiu Xiu to do what he told him, and sent other people to invite Wei Guan over. Now it is indeed time to talk to him.
