It is true that Wei Qian is a close confidant of the Sima family, but Cao Liang knows that Wei Qian is not only this, Wei Qian is the best at protecting himself.

Historically, Deng Ai broke Shu Zhonghui with the intention of rebellion, and the situation in the entire Yizhou was in danger, and Wei Qian was able to stay left and right between Deng Ai and Zhong Hui, two famous figures, and finally retreated safely, which shows that he has great wisdom.

Of course, Wei Qiang's ruthlessness Cao Liang is also clear, Deng Ai originally had the opportunity to avenge his grievances, but in order to prevent Deng Ai from settling accounts after the autumn, Wei Qian simply did not do anything and sent someone to intercept and kill Ai's father and son halfway.

Such ruthless people do things by unscrupulous means, their principle of life is the supremacy of interests, for their own sake, they do not hesitate to sacrifice other parties For this kind of person, it is impossible to talk about who is loyal, Mingzhe is their first choice to protect himself, and only these people, Cao Liang has the possibility of surrendering.

Like Wang Ji, he would rather die on the battlefield than surrender to the state army, his loyalty to the Sima family is already beyond words, like this, even if Cao Liang captures him, it will be difficult to subdue, a person who is not even afraid of death, what else can threaten him?

Cao Liang ordered Wang Ji to be buried thickly, even if he belonged to different camps, but his loyalty had no boundaries.

Sure enough, as Cao Liang expected, Wei Qian surrendered quickly, and he didn't even need Cao Liang to threaten and lure, Cao Liang's words were just a few hints, Wei Liang understood in his heart, and immediately expressed his attitude that he was willing to serve Cao Liang as the master and fight against Sima for usurping the country and rebels.

Because Wei Qian knows very well that if he insists on not surrendering, even if Cao Liang doesn't kill him, then he will definitely not run away as a prisoner for a lifetime, rather than spending the rest of his life in a dark prison, it is better to surrender as soon as possible, and continue to seek a half-official position, even if he can't be reused, at least he can ensure that his career is worry-free.

Although Wei Qian is Sima Yi's confidant, he was ordered to supervise the army in Youzhou, but in the end, he regarded his net worth and life as more important than anything else, when he was coerced by Wuqiu Jian, Wei Qian also quickly agreed to Wuqiu Jian's request, although in the end it was Wang Qi who made trouble and killed Wuqiu Jian, but if Wuqiu Jian did not die, Wei Qian would definitely be false and subservient to Wuqiu Jian.

Now the situation in Youzhou has long been gone, and now Youzhou has become Cao Liang's subordinate, Wei Qian wants to live, and it will definitely not work if he does not surrender.

This is obviously what Cao Liang wants to see, although Wei Liang is impure and has no loyalty, but Wei Qiang's ability to govern the country is also obvious to all, and such talents for governing local government affairs are what Cao Liang urgently needs now.

As for whether Wei Qian can be used with confidence, Cao Liang doesn't have to worry too much about this, for these newly surrendered and low-loyalty officials, Cao Liang at most appoints them as civilian officials to be in charge of the administrative affairs of various counties and counties, and they have no chance to hold the authority of the army at all.

In this way, it also eliminates the possibility of them turning against the water, they have no military power in their hands, whether it is Assassin Shi or Taishou, they are all equivalent to a weak chicken, once they have a plan and a move, Cao Liang can immediately send an army to destroy them.

Therefore, even if Wei Qian's character is not good, Cao Liang has no intention of giving up, he is now in urgent need of capable people in political affairs, as for whether he is loyal or not, Cao Liang feels that it is not so important.

So Cao Liang arranged for Wei Qian to do the history of the Youzhou Assassin, since he took Youzhou, the position of the Youzhou Assassin History has been vacant, Cao Liang was originally going to transfer people from the Bingzhou side, but there has never been a suitable candidate, so this position has been vacant for a long time.

Although Wei Qian was the governor of Youzhou, and this appointment was issued by the imperial court, but he became the governor of Youzhou for a few years, and he encountered the invasion of the state army, in the past few months, Wei Qian retreated to Linyu Pass, although he is still the nominal governor of Youzhou, but it has long been unworthy of the name, the seven counties of western Liaoning, have long been under the name of the state army, and Wei Qian can't control it.

As for Liaodong, Wei Qian had never set foot in it before, he became the governor of Youzhou, but he just acted as the guard of Linyu Pass, and this guard general was not the number one, and it was Wang Ji who was in charge of Linyu Pass.

Now Cao Liang let him sit in the position of the assassin of Youzhou, although he was demoted from the governor to the assassin history, but this time he can really have the right to speak in Youzhou.

Cao Liang knew very well that with Wei Qian's ability, he was fully qualified for the position of Youzhou Assassin, so Cao Liang was very relieved to hand over the government affairs of Youzhou to him. As for the power of soldiers and horses in Youzhou, it has nothing to do with Wei Qiang, and a thorn history without soldiers in his hands will never pose a threat to Cao Liang.

As for whether Wei Qian will sincerely do things with his heart, Cao Liang is not too worried, on the one hand, Cao Liang believes that Wei Qian is a person who understands current affairs, on the other hand, Cao Liang will also send people to keep an eye on it, if Wei Qian neglects government affairs, he will be directly pushed to the end, and he will not be given any chance.

Back in Jixian County, Wei Qian soon took office, although this appointment made Wuqiu Xiu very dissatisfied, but now Youzhou is no longer under the Wuqiu family, Wu Qiuxiu is at most a few words, Cao Liang's decision, he is not qualified to dismiss it.

After an interval of time, the messengers sent to Liaodong all returned, and among the four counties of Liaodong, Liaodong, Lelang, and Daifang Taishou all accepted Cao Liang's orders and submitted to the Bingzhou army.

Only Xuansu was too stubborn, refused to surrender, and beheaded the envoy.

Fei Zhong is a confidant of Wang Ji's side, who once followed Wang Ji to conquer Goguryeo, and later Wang Ji was appointed by the imperial court to assassinate Youzhou, and the vacant position was held by Fei Chonglai.

After all, at this time, the news of Wang Qi's death had not yet reached Liaodong, and Liaodong was not too clear about the situation in Liaoxi, but Fei Zhong insisted on slashing and completely breaking with the state army.

This result should also be expected by Cao Liang, he ordered Huan Fan in Liucheng to march to Liaodong immediately, and other counties only need to send people over to receive it, but Xuansu County should focus on sending troops to take care of it.

Xuanyu County, the soldiers are less than 3,000, Cao Liang really doesn't know what Fei Chong's confidence is, as long as the army of the state army sweeps all the way, Liaodong is just at his fingertips, Fei Zhong relies on such a pitiful man, but he is just a mantis arm as a car, and he can't measure himself.
