Chapter 201 Muddy Waters
A few days later, Linghu Sheng came again.

This time it was quite sincere, with Wang Jinhu's personal letter.

However, the condescension is still indispensable between the lines.

"...Guo Huai is my sister-in-law. Chen Taisu is loyal to the Great Wei. He is the only one who can be worried about Yongliang. Deng Ai is the only one. A certain talent and martial arts are famous all over the world. The king's bravery is astonishing in Guanyou. The two armies work together, and Deng Ai is nothing! Capture him in one battle, and send troops eastward to take Chang'an, then great things can be expected!"

"How many troops does Wang Taishou have?" Yang Zheng asked a very practical question.

Linghu Sheng said: "Six thousand elite soldiers, all of them are brave warriors!"

Yang Zheng almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

6000 people are going to capture Deng Ai in one battle and go straight to Chang'an?
If the messenger hadn't been Linghu Sheng, Yang Zheng would have kicked him out the door.

What's the point of mere Deng Ai?

That's right, the current Deng Ai is famous all over the world for his farming and water conservancy, but he is indeed not famous for leading troops in battle.

But how could Yang Zheng not know how powerful Deng Ai is?
What's more, Wang Jinhu's way of doing things was completely disregarded, directly ignoring Guo Huai and Chen Tai.

What the hell does this guy mean?
Yang Zheng stared at Linghu Sheng, probably, in Wang Jinhu's plan, he just seduced him into raising troops to attract Luoyang Sima Yi's attention, and then Linghuyu and Wang Ling raised troops to attack Luoyang.

After all, I still want to use myself as cannon fodder.

Linghu Sheng chilled Yang Zheng.

"Ziqian, are you and I still brothers who live and die together?"

Linghu Sheng was stunned for a moment, "Of course...yes, Luo Gu's bloody battle will never be forgotten, if not for the general, Sheng would have been a dead bone."

That's what he said, but his eyes wandered.

"Since I'm a brother, I'll act as if I didn't see or hear anything, and you never came to look for me."

Linghu Sheng frowned.

Immediately, a helpless look appeared on his face.

"His life is difficult, but he can escape to Jishi Mountain." Yang Zheng can only say this.

People in different positions will have different moods.

The man he was three years ago is no longer the same man as he is today.

Yang Zheng was quite emotional.

Linghu Sheng was shocked, "General..."

"I'm tired these days, so I won't send Ziqian away." Yang Zheng made his last effort.

Yang Zheng completely gave up on Wang Jinhu.

There is no sincerity.

I don't know where his confidence comes from.

Yang Zheng returned Wang Jinhu's letter to him.

Linghu Sheng's face was a little gloomy, "Sheng resigns."

Not long after, a soft sigh came from behind the screen, "Wang Taiwei's move was three out of loyalty and seven out of selfishness. Gai wanted to be Sima Taifu but couldn't do it, so he came up with this idea, and Great Wei fell into his hands." , not necessarily stronger than Sima Taifu."

Lu Zhi walked out slowly.

"What will my nephew do?" Yang Zheng bowed his hands.

Lu Zhi accepted it calmly, "Report to the imperial court!"

Yang Zheng was stunned, it seemed that this uncle still had fantasies about the Sima family.

Lu Zhi advised: "Guo Huai has guarded Yongliang for more than [-] years, and his eyes and ears are all over Guanyou. Wang Jinhu is new here, and he acts rashly without knowing the depth. He will definitely drag you into the water. Only in this way can the court trust you."

Among the Three Kingdoms, which great person doesn't keep some dead men and followers as secret workers?
What's more, Wang Jinhu is so eye-catching.

It was Wang Ling's son, and Guo Huai's brother-in-law, and I don't know how many people were staring at him.

It seems unreasonable for Wang Jinhu not to talk to Guo Huai about such a big matter as the rebellion.

According to what Lu Zhi meant, he wanted to stand by Sima Yi's side?
Yang Zheng smiled wryly in his heart.

He doesn't know the direction of history, but he knows it.

Sima Shi is more ruthless than Sima Yi.

When the Sima family's ambitions were gradually revealed, the conflict with Xia Houxuan became irreconcilable.

Xia Houxuan, a scholar, is Sima Shi's opponent?

With this layer of relationship, even if you wash yourself clean, put on a layer of white and powder, and throw yourself into your arms, what should come will still come.

In this world, you can lie to others, but you cannot lie to yourself.

What's more, Sima Yi still killed his father and enemy.

Deng Ai is really loyal, but the Sima family didn't take it seriously?

However, Lu Zhi's proposal awakened Yang Zheng. The water in Yongliang is very deep, and Guo Huai, Chen Tai, and Deng Ai may not be of the same mind.

Otherwise, Sima Yi would not have sent Sima Zhao to town Chang'an.

Since the water is so deep, why not stir the water?
Maybe some big fish can't hold his breath.

If Guo Huai, Chen Tai, Deng Ai, and Sima Zhao can create dissatisfaction among the four, my life will be easier.

Of course, it was impossible to expect Guo Huai to rebel with Wang Ling.

Guo Huai has been in Yongliang for more than 30 years, and he is as stable as an old dog, and he will never act rashly.

Yang Zheng wrote a letter and asked his personal guards to deliver it to Wuwei Chen Tai.

When the letter was sent, Yang Zheng felt a little uncomfortable.

From another point of view, I am betraying my friends.

But Linghu Sheng came to encourage himself, but he didn't have any good intentions.

Different positions, different status, after all, we can't go together.

Each is its master, each its own business.

Changan.

Sima Zhao also received the same letter, but it was not signed, and there was no clue in the handwriting.

"Who sent this?"

"I don't know, I was caught in the crack of the gate this morning." The servant was trembling.

The governor of Yongliang is Guo Huai, but the Sima family's foundation in Guanyou is not bad.

Many generals were promoted by Sima Yi.

With Sima Yi in charge of the central government and Sima Zhao's township in Chang'an, there is naturally no shortage of people who will serve him.

"Go down." Sima Zhao frowned with the word Chuan on his forehead.

The servants backed away.

"Guo Huai, Guo Huai..." Sima Zhao muttered softly.

As soon as he finished chanting, an official came in, "Guo Dudu invited the general to discuss matters."

"Oh?" Sima Zhao stared at the official with a smile.

In the Governor's Mansion of Yongliang, Guo Huai closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the limp.

Hair and beard are grey.

There was an indelible look of fatigue on Xiong Yi's face.

He would only show this look when he was alone. In front of outsiders and subordinates, he would always be the majestic General Guo.

At this age, people have more ideas.

Who Sima Yi and his son are, he knows better than anyone else.

The death of Zhang Yun back then gave him a big shock.

So he had to think, the Sima family couldn't tolerate him.

In particular, Sima Zhao's town of Chang'an had a profound impact on the power structure of Yongliang.

It had only been one month since Guo Huai took over as governor of Yongliang, when Sima Zhao arrived. He was still General Chijie Anxi, and had the power to dispatch the troops.

The actual power he holds is still above his fake governor of Yongliang.

If you count the power of Deng Ai and An Ding Hu's family, Sima Zhao's power is not weaker than Guo Huai's.

Moreover, many of Guo Huai's subordinates were Sima Yi's former subordinates.

The Governor of Yongzhou, the Governor of Liangzhou, and General Anxi have seriously dispersed the power of the governor of Yongzhou and Liangzhou.

"General Anxi is here!" The soldiers outside the door sang.

Guo Huai slowly opened his eyes, and changed to sitting cross-legged instead of kneeling, the tired look on his face disappeared, and he became the majestic General Guo again.

"Meet the governor." Compared with Guo Huai's twilight, Sima Zhao was in full swing.

At the age of 39, isn't it the right time for a man in a high position?
"Sir, please get up quickly." Guo Huai held up his hands.

Sima Zhao got up and sat down on his knees.

"Hanzhong's secret report is coming, the thief general Jiang Wei will attack again." Guo Huai said slowly.

This should be the content of the military discussion, but now Guo Huai only talks to Sima Zhao, which shows that he attaches great importance to Sima Zhao.

However, it was no secret that Jiang Wei was about to attack.

Three months ago, Jiang Wei's tentative attack defeated Guo Dun, and this Tianshui Qilin had already smelled meat.

The state of Wei has fine work in the state of Shu, and likewise, the state of Shu has fine work in the state of Wei.

Especially the two places of Yongliang and Hanzhong have already become sieves.

The change of Gaoping Mausoleum is such a big movement, and it is right for the two countries of Wu and Shu to take action.

"In the past, Zhuge Kongming failed to go out of Qishan six times, let alone Jiang Wei with only [-] people? And today's Yongliang is no longer what it used to be." Sima Zhao heard that Guo Huai's thoughts were not here.

"What Zishang said is exactly." Guo Huai summoned Sima Zhao, of course not because the Shu army invaded, but to find out about Sima Zhao's details.

"However, if there is civil strife in Yongliang, that's another matter." Sima Zhao suddenly changed the subject.

Guo Huai was expressionless, "Who in Yongliang dares to cause civil strife? Could it be Xiping Yang Zheng?"

Sima Zhao laughed softly, "If Yang Zheng wanted to rebel, he would have moved with Xia Houba at the beginning. He didn't dare at that time, how dare he dare now? All the generals in the West have risen up, and there is no one in the world. Gou Anle is now, It’s just a household dog, and it can be wiped out one by one in the future.”

The second half of the sentence is what Wei Qi offered to Wei Wu back then.

From Han Sui to Ma Teng, from Ma Chao to Song Jian, from Qu Yan to Zhang Jin, all of them are like this. They just want to separate themselves and have no enterprising heart.

The most promising one is Dong Zhuo.

Of course, it was thanks to General He Jin that Dong Zhuo was able to get to that point.

"Who is that?" Guo Huai said in a deep voice.

Sima Zhaoyun said calmly: "Jincheng prefect Wang Feihu is the brother-in-law of the governor, the governor should discipline him more."

A sharp light flashed faintly in Guo Huai's eyes.
