Chapter 1039: There is a supervisor
Here, Wuqiu Jian used the word "Ask" instead of any other method. Indeed, before Wuqiu Jian launched his army, Wei Guan was still the supervisor of Youzhou, nominally second only to Wuqiu Jian.
However, in fact, Wei Guan's current status is very embarrassing. Without Sima Yi behind his back, Wei Guan's situation in Youzhou has become increasingly difficult. Although he has not been detained or placed under house arrest by Wu Qiu Jian, many people with suspicious identities have appeared around Wei Guan's residence, and they have taken turns monitoring Wei Guan's every move for twelve hours a day.
Wei Guan knew very well that these people were sent by Wu Qiu Jian. If he could stay in his residence at this time, he would definitely be safe for the time being. However, if he tried to escape or had any bad actions, he would inevitably be captured by these followers and imprisoned, and he would no longer have any freedom.
These people who were following the stalkers invisibly formed a pet shackle. Although Wei Guan did not lose his basic freedom, their external contacts had been completely cut off. Even if he wanted to deliver a letter or something now, it would be extremely difficult, or there would be no chance at all.
This invisibly proves that Wu Qiujian's ambitions are expanding. He is very likely to take advantage of the important pass where Sima Yi was defeated and died and rebelled and stand in Youzhou.
If it is true, then Wei Guan knew that he was on the verge of extreme danger. As Sima's agent in Youzhou, he would naturally become the first target that Wu Qiu Jian had to deal with.
In fact, it was a dangerous job to come to Youzhou. Wuqiu Jian and Sima Yi were not in harmony, and everyone in the world knew that Sima Yi needed a confidant minister to come to Youzhou to check and balance Wuqiu Jian. Sima Yi finally chose himself from among the many candidates, and was ordered to go to Youzhou.
For Wei Guan, Sima Yi was both an amulet and a death talisman. When Sima Yi was alive, Wu Qiu Jian was afraid of Sima Yi's strength and did not dare to rebel at all. Wei Guan was undoubtedly the safest at this time. But after Sima Yi passed away, Wu Qiu Jian was ready to move, and his rebellious intention was obvious, and Wei Guan's situation immediately became unfavorable. This was really a success, Sima Yi, and Sima Yi was defeated.
Wei Guan had thought of escaping, but the entire Youzhou was Wuqiu Jian's sphere of influence. When Wei Guan took office, he only brought a few confidants. Relying on such a little pitiful force, it was not enough to compete with Wuqiu Jian.
At this moment, people were watching Wei Guan's residence at all times, which means that Wei Guan's every move could not escape Wu Qiu Jian's eyes and ears. As long as he had an intention to escape, Wu Qiu Jian would catch him without hesitation and be charged with the crime of escaping.
So after seeing this situation, Wei Guan decisively gave up the idea of running away. It was not that he didn't want to run away, but that he couldn't escape at all. Instead of making a fuss, it would be better to stay steadily and respond to changes in the face of constant change.
If Wu Qiu Jian really wants his own life, then no matter how hard Wei Guan struggles, it will be useless. Since Wu Qiu Jian has not taken action yet, it means that things are still turning around. Wei Guan has to wait and see the change and then face the opportunity to change.
Sure enough, not long after, Wuqiu Jian sent someone to invite him over, his attitude was as always and he was quite respectful. Obviously, he had not yet regarded him as a prisoner. Wei Guan's identity was still the superior Youzhou military supervisor.
Wei Guan tidied up his clothes, walked out calmly, and rushed to Youzhou Governor's Office. His expression was calm, as usual, as if it was a routine matter to go to the Governor's Office.
At this moment, it was snowing outside the house, which completely enveloped Youzhou City in a vast white area. There were no few people on the bustling streets.
Wei Guan’s residence is not too close to the Governor’s Office, but Wei Guan always walks to the Governor’s Office, and he will ride a horse and ride a car unless there is a special emergency.
The people who went to ask Wei Guan were preparing for the carriage. On such a cold and snowy day, they had to take at least a carriage with a warm pavilion when going out, but Wei Guan refused their kindness and walked alone on the snow.
Those people were helpless. Wu Qiu Jian just ordered them to invite Wei Guan, and there was no limit on time and did not say that there was any urgent matter. Therefore, Wei Guan was willing to walk in the snow and walked in the snow. They had to follow Wei Guan and go to the governor's office.
Thick official boots stepped on the snow that was deep and squeaking, and this street was the main road of Youzhou City. The vehicles and pedestrians passing by had crushed the snow very strongly. The ruts could be clearly seen on the snow, crisscrossing.
Wei Guan walked carefully, the road was slippery, and he would fall if he was not careful. However, Wei Guan was already familiar with this kind of walking life, so even if he walked in the snow, he seemed to have no discomfort.
The reason why he stubbornly chose to walk was not that Wei Guan liked this self-abuse method, but that he deliberately extended the time to arrive at the Governor's Office, and there would be a long time for him to think calmly on the way.
Wei Guan is a person who is good at thinking. After such a long journey, he has enough time to think. And when all this becomes a habit, Wei Guan relies more on this method.
The situation in Youzhou City now looks calm on the outside, but it is turbulent inside and undercurrents. Although this half-house arrest life makes it difficult for Wei Guan to grasp first-hand information, he is keen-minded and never noticed the strangeness in Youzhou City. The more unusual the atmosphere, the more dangerous it is. Under the calm surface, there will definitely be the most intense changes.
Wei Guan easily judged what kind of person Wuqiu Jian was. Although he was as short as a mouse and was cautious in everything, Wei Guan knew that Wuqiu Jian was also a very ambitious person, but he usually made good disguises and looked harmless. But Wei Guan knew very well that once Wuqiu Jian showed his fangs, he would be more cruel and terrifying than anyone else.
After the withdrawal of the troops in Bingzhou, Wuqiu Jian's ambition seemed to have begun to expand. During this period, Wuqiu Xiu, the second-ranking figure of Youzhou Army, suddenly disappeared. Although they deliberately concealed Wuqiu Xiu's whereabouts, Wei Guan speculated that Wuqiu Xiu must have extremely important tasks for this trip, and the one he was going to meet was definitely not an ordinary person.
If not expected, Wu Qiuxiu's destination was Bingzhou, and the person he wanted to meet was Cao Liang. Once the two sides joined forces, Youzhou would change!
