The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 801
Yang Fu's room was very dark, and Xu Shu was sitting opposite him. In such a dark environment, neither of them could see the other's face.

Neither of them lit the lamp, for fear of causing unnecessary suspicion, as if they both knew it well.

After a moment of silence, Xu Shu spoke first and asked directly: "Yang Changshi, you just said that you have been waiting for me for a long time, how do you know I will come tonight?"

Yang Fudao: "You and I are both smart people, and I won't beat around the bush with you anymore, let's get straight to the point. The reason why Mr. Xu stayed in Liangzhou was actually a pawn deliberately set by the Regent, and Master Xu is a very important chess piece, and the future ownership of Liangzhou may be tied to Master Xu alone."

After Xu Shu heard this, he couldn't help frowning. In the darkness, he couldn't see the expression on Yang Fu's face clearly, but he was surprised that Yang Fu was able to understand all this. You know, after Xu Shu stayed in Liangzhou, he never He was slack in the slightest, and he didn't dare to slacken in any way. He walked on eggshells every day, for fear of disappointing the king's expectations of him. Moreover, only the king and himself knew about this matter. There was no other person in Liangzhou. Know his real purpose of staying in Liangzhou.

Many people think that Xu Shu stayed in Liangzhou just to monitor Ma Chao, but this is just a trivial matter. Power was able to take root in this land and replace Ma Chao.

For this reason, Zhang Yan planned it from the very beginning. First, Ma Chao was transferred from Liangzhou to participate in the war of Ping Shu. , and completely dispersed the troops led by Ma Chao, to provide Xu Shu with the greatest convenience.

Xu Shu knew all of this, but Zhang Yan thought Ma Chao was too simple. Ma Chao left Liangzhou, but most of his confidants and old troops stayed in Liangzhou, and they only obeyed orders. Ma Chao's command alone did not pay much attention to Xu Shu, who was temporarily acting as the shepherd of Liangzhou.

Ma Gang, Pang Rou, Wang Shuang, and the others all hold heavy troops. Besides, Gai Shun, Suo Guang, Yang Qiu, and Cheng Yi all hold some troops. Although they are not Ma Chao's confidantes, they are all right Ma Chao obeyed his orders, and if Xu Shu wanted to overthrow Liangzhou, it would be extremely difficult.

"Yang Changshi, I don't understand what you're talking about!" At this moment, how could Xu Shu admit it? First, he was afraid of being fooled by Yang Fu. There is no longer a place to stand. Although these people dare not kill him, it is not impossible to imprison him or deport him.

Yang Fudao: "Master Xu, I treat each other with sincerity, and I also hope that Master Xu can treat me with sincerity. I know that Master Xu must have doubts about me when I suddenly say such a thing. But I can tell you Master Xu, from the first day you stayed in Liangzhou, I already knew your purpose, if I wanted to report you, you would not be sitting here and talking to me a long time ago."

Xu Shu remained silent and didn't know how to answer. He was still thinking in his mind whether Yang Fu was trying to trick him with words.

Seeing that Xu Shu was silent, Yang Fu continued: "Master Xu, I also know your situation. The Regent sent you to spy on Ma Chao, but you don't want to be watched by Ma Chao instead. No matter where you go, someone will follow you. How free. After Ma Chao left Liangzhou and led his troops to Yizhou, the monitoring of Mr. Xu became more intense. The officials in Liangzhou were all Ma Chao’s former subordinates, and they ignored Mr. Xu. It was hard work for such a long time Master Xu."

Xu Shu still remained silent, just listening quietly, he wanted to know what Yang Fu wanted to say.

Yang Fu also said to himself: "Master Xu is wary of me, which is also human nature, but if I don't express my attitude tonight, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future. Master Xu, although I I am Ma Chao's subordinate, but I am well aware of Ma Chao's ambitions. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, we have been separated by the warlords of the Han Dynasty, and there have been many wars. Now we have finally achieved peace and unification. I will never allow anyone to split the Han and separate the regions. Ma Chao said An ambitious man, he obeys the imperial court on the surface, but actually accumulates strength in secret. During the Battle of Pingshu, Ma Chao obtained a large amount of gold, silver and jewels from Hanzhong, and secretly ordered Ma Dai to escort them to Wudu and hand them over to Wang Shuang for safekeeping. When he returns to Liangzhou, he will definitely use this large amount of property to recruit troops and expand his armaments. Once Ma Chao has some climate, he will inevitably raise troops to rebel against the imperial court. In the middle of the war. As a man of Liangzhou, how can I bear to see Liangzhou destroyed by such a man?"

Xu Shu listened quietly. Yang Fu spoke very excitedly. Although he couldn't see the expression on Yang Fu's face, he could feel Yang Fu's heart from his words.In his opinion, Yang Fu chose to abandon Ma Chao for the sake of Liangzhou. This kind of character seems very noble.

In addition, Yang Fu also revealed a situation that Xu Shu didn't know about, that is, Ma Chao smuggled back a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry for future military expansion, which he never knew about.

Yang Yishan's name is well known throughout Liangzhou. This man is not only a celebrity, but also a benevolent and righteous man who is willing to do good and donate generously.

He has always been grateful to Wei Duan because his former Liangzhou shepherd, Wei Duan, was kind to him. Even after Wei Duan was killed by Han Sui, all he thought about was how to avenge Wei Duan, even if he went all out. This life is not hesitating.In addition, from celebrities to traffickers and pawns in Liangzhou, as long as there is a need for help, he will reach out to help.Furthermore, the Yang family in Tianshui is quite prestigious in Liangzhou, and Yang Fu's family is also a wealthy family with considerable financial resources. The Yang family also has extensive relationships in Liangzhou. With one call, there are thousands of responders.

These are the important reasons why Xu Shu wanted to ask Yang Fu to help him, but it was him who was supposed to persuade Yang Fu, but at this moment it seemed to be the other way around, and Yang Fu tried every means to express his feelings to him, The implication is that he wants to serve the imperial court, overthrow Ma Chao's power in Liangzhou, and restore Liangzhou to peace.

After a long time, Xu Shu said slowly: "Yang Changshi, what do you mean by these words?"

Yang Fu said: "Until now, Master Xu still refuses to believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, but I can't believe it. If Yang Changshi was sent by Ma Chao to deliberately deceive me, wouldn't it be easy for me to fall into the trap you set?" Xu Shu said tentatively. .

Yang Fu laughed and said: "Master Xu, if I wanted to cheat you, I would have done so long ago, so I have to wait until today? Master Xu is afraid of wolves in the past and tigers in the future, so it won't be a big deal. If I were really Ma Chao Sent, you and I don't have to meet privately at this time."

Xu Shu asked, "Are you really not sent by Ma Chao?"

"No." Yang Fu replied righteously.

Xu Shu said: "Okay, then I will trust Yang Changshi once. It's just that I have a question I want to ask Yang Changshi, and I hope Yang Changshi can answer me."

"Whatever question, you can just ask." Yang Fu said.

Xu Shu said: "Yang Changshi, although Ma Chao is not in Liangzhou now, Ma Chao's confidantes are all armed with heavy troops and distributed in various places in Liangzhou. If he wants to overthrow Liangzhou, I wonder if Yang Changshi has any clever plans?"

Yang Fu said: "Since I have come, I will not come in vain. I have already thought of a way to deal with Ma Chao. But now that Ma Chaoren is not in Liangzhou, it is a great pity that we cannot deal with him together." However, just because Ma Chao is not in Liangzhou, it makes things more convenient for us. To overthrow Ma Chao's power, it is easy for me..."

Xu Shu laughed when he heard this, and said to Yang Fu: "Yang Changshi is not ashamed to speak out, and he is not afraid of slipping his tongue. Ma Chao's reputation is enough to shock the entire Liangzhou, and his subordinates are also elite soldiers and generals. We need people now." How could Ma Chao's power be overthrown if there is no one, and if there are no soldiers?"

Yang Fu chuckled, and said: "Master Xu doesn't believe me, and it's reasonable, because no matter who hears what I say, they will think it's a bit impossible. However, I just want to make the impossible possible. Although Ma Chao's subordinates are strong and strong, they are only a group of people with well-developed limbs and simple minds. Naturally, force cannot be used to deal with this group of people, but if we use intelligence, they are definitely not our opponents. I have already thought of one The perfect strategy, in this strategy, Mr. Xu is the key. As long as Mr. Xu is willing to do what I say, I can guarantee that within a month, there will be no more Ma Chao's confidants appearing on the land of Liangzhou. The one who wants to return to me is an iron-blooded man!"

After hearing this, Xu Shu said to Yang Fu, "Yang Changshi, is this true?"

"If there is half a false statement, Mr. Xu can behead me!" Yang Fu said.

Xu Shu still asked worriedly: "Then, can I know how Yang Changshi intends to subvert Liangzhou?"

Yang Fu told Xu Shu the strategy in his heart in detail. The main idea was to set up a Hongmen Banquet in honor of Ma Gang, Pang Rou, Wang Shuang and others, and then ambush the dead men, and then they would sit in the middle of the banquet. kill it.

After Xu Shu heard this, he couldn't help frowning. In his opinion, Yang Fu's perfect strategy was not perfect at all. It was more of an adventure and an idealized state. In this perfect strategy, even killing After the death of Ma Chao's confidants and beloved generals, their subordinates may not be willing to let it go. If they fail, they will lose everything, let alone subvert Liangzhou, and they will even die because of this, without a place to die.

One step forward is a cliff, and one step back is also a cliff. Since they are all cliffs, it is better to go back than to go forward. At least, on the way forward, there is still a glimmer of hope, walking across the single-plank bridge on the cliff.

Xu Shu thought for a long time, and finally said to Yang Fu: "Yang Changshi, although this plan is clever, it still has many shortcomings and is too risky. I have a plan..."
