That night, Xu Shu and Yang Fu had a long talk and chatted for a long time, and finally the two reached an agreement and decided to take advantage of Ma Chao's absence in Liangzhou to complete the feat of subverting Liangzhou as soon as possible.

Both of them are wise people, but neither of them has soldiers and horses in their hands, if they want to subvert Liangzhou, they must hold a soldier and horse in their hands, otherwise, they have not started to act, and they have been dragged out by a few nobodies and killed.

For this reason, after some careful discussion, Yang Fu's cousin Jiang Xu came into Xu Shu's eyes.

Jiang Xu, whose name is Boyi, is a native of Jicheng, Tianshui County, the son of Yang Fu's aunt, a few years older than him, and now serves as the long history of Jiuquan County, responsible for commanding the soldiers and horses of the entire Jiuquan County, and belongs to Jiuquan

In addition to Jiang Xu, Yang Qiu is also a figure that cannot be ignored, this person has both humanities and martial arts, can not only go into battle to kill the enemy, but also govern the place, is a rare talent. After Ma Chao defeated Han Sui, he once captured Yang Qiu, but Ma Chao did not kill Yang Qiu, but put him under house arrest until Yang Qiu was willing to serve him.

After surrendering, Yang Qiu, because he was not Ma Chao's old department, was very cautious in dealing with people, for fear of a little difference, even if he made a meritorious service, he was relatively modest, and never dared to invite merit casually, even Ma Chao's reward was shirked several times, and he really couldn't push it away, and he didn't stay by his side, but gave it to his subordinates.

And Yang Fu's cousin Jiang Xu is a celebrity under Yang Qiu's tent, Xu Shu and Yang Fu's meaning is obvious, they want to pass Jiang Xu. Woo Yang Qiu. Serve the imperial court together.

If you can. can even win over Cheng Yi through Yang Qiu, and coincidentally, Liang Kuan, a close friend of Yang Fu, is working under Cheng Yi, the capital of Zhangye's subordinate state. In addition, in addition to Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi, Jincheng Taishou Gaishun and Dunhuang Taishou Suoguang, these two are not Ma Chao's old department, both of them have a reputation in the western part of Liangzhou, and the reason why they chose to follow Ma Chao was at the beginning. is nothing more than out of consideration for the overall situation, if the two of them knew that Ma Chao had the ambition to occupy Liangzhou and dominate the west, they were afraid that they might not be dead set on Ma Chao.

Yang Fu himself is the Taishou of Longxi, and there are some soldiers in his hands, although there are not many, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and it can also be strong in this node that needs people the most. Moreover, there are many people in the Yang Fu family. Coupled with the connections and prestige that Yang Fu has accumulated in Liangzhou over the years, as long as he raises his arms. Recruiting thousands of people is not a problem.

This night, the two of them talked very thoroughly, what to do, and both of them also had a plan, so, after deciding everything, they began to act separately and start to deploy everything.

Because Xu Shu was closely monitored, Xu Shu was unable to move, and most of these things could only be done through Yang Fu. In order to stimulate Yang Fu to serve the imperial court, Xu Shu even privately promised Yang Fu that as long as he helped him subvert Ma Chao's power in Liangzhou, he could promote Yang Fu to serve as the assassin of Liangzhou.

Who knows, this sentence not only did not have a stimulating effect, but angered Yang Fu.

Yang Fu said angrily: "Lord Xu, if I were really the kind of person who covets fame and fortune, I would have been a marquis in the court a long time ago, so why are you planning here?" The reason why I do all this is that I don't care about fame and fortune at all, but for the sake of the overall situation, if Lord Xu thinks that I am just a villain who is greedy for fame and fortune and opportunistic, it will really humiliate me! I did all this for the peace of Liangzhou, for the peace of the people, for the unification of the imperial court, not for my own selfish desires! ”

Xu Shu didn't know until this time that Yang Fu was really the kind of person who was selfless and morally noble, but he was too powerful, so he would think that Yang Fu helped him just to serve as the assassin of Liangzhou in the future. He hurriedly made amends to Yang Fu, and only then did he get Yang Fu's forgiveness.

After the two people separated, it was already a normal time, and Xu Shu's heart finally fell back to its original place, although it had not slept all night, but at least some practical things had been implemented, and with Yang Fu's help, what to do next seemed a little relaxed and calm.

The next day, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened, because the snow sealed the entire land, the snow was more than one person deep, and it was impossible to carry out spring hunting, plus Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai and others were not there, and only Yang Fu came alone, and everyone was not interested, and this year's spring hunting was over.

When Yang Fu left Guzang, it was already three days later, and when the snow stopped, Yang Fu returned to Longxi from Guzang, and during these three days, Yang Fu was warmly entertained by Xu Shu in Guzang City, and sometimes in the time of the two of them, they continued to discuss future countermeasures.

In three days, Xu Shu and Yang Fu had a feeling of seeing each other late, and at the same time cherishing each other, and it was difficult to part when they left.

All this, as Pang Rou, who is the Taishou of Wuwei, although he sees it in his eyes, because there is not much emotional expression and contact between the two people, he did not find anything abnormal, but simply thought that the tacit understanding and reluctance between the two literati.

After Yang Fu left Guzang, he first returned to Longxi, and then secretly convened the clan brothers, and after some discussion, although there were also opponents in the Yang clan, but only a few, and the vast majority of people supported Yang Fu to secretly help the regent and restore the Langlang Qiankun above Liangzhou.

So, Yang Fu asked his brothers Yang Yue, Yang Ling, and Yang Zhao to go out to contact his friends in Liangzhou, while he personally went to Jiuquan to find his cousin Jiang Xu and ask him to help him. In order to be foolproof, Yang Fu went to his aunt's house before leaving, his aunt was Jiang Xu's mother, he showed his heart to his aunt, got his aunt's approval and consent, and wrote a handwritten letter, let him take it to Jiang Xu, the general content is to let Jiang Xu obey Yang Fu's arrangement, follow Yang Fu to do a big thing for the benefit of the country and the people, not asking for anything in return, but asking for a clear conscience.

Yang Fu took his aunt's handwritten letters, day and night, and came to Jiuquan non-stop, because he was dressed as a businessman, so he did not attract people's attention, and after he entered the city, he went directly to Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu heard that Yang Fu came to find him. I was surprised. Although he and Yang Fu are cousins. But the interests and hobbies of the two people are different, Jiang Xu likes to dance with guns and sticks, Yang Fu likes poetry and songs, even if the two people sit together, they don't talk more than half a sentence, over time, the two have not had much contact when they grow up, and they only occasionally hear relatives mention each other.

Yang Fugui is the Taishou of Longxi. He is also a person who is very important to Liangzhou herding horses, which Jiang Xu knows very clearly, and he still knows it from Yang Qiu's mouth. However, here in Yang Qiu, except for Jiang Xu himself, no one knows that he and Yang Fu still have such a layer of kinship, he has never mentioned it to anyone, and the two of them are in different circles, and there is basically no communication.

So, the arrival of Yang Fu. Jiang Xu felt extremely surprised.

In Jiang Xu's mansion, when Jiang Xu saw Yang Fu who came from afar. There was not much joy, he saw Yang Fu's dress, but it was even more weird, frowned, and said: "It stands to reason that your official rank is higher than mine, and I should pay homage, but you are dressed like this today, obviously because you don't want people to know that you have come here, since you are not wearing an official uniform, I don't need to use the words of officialdom to call it." Yishan, why did you suddenly come here dressed like this? ”

"Brother Boyi, although you and I don't have much contact, but we are also brothers, I came here today because I have a big matter to discuss with Brother Boyi. Before that, I'll let you see something......" As he spoke, Yang Fu took out a letter and handed it to Jiang Xu directly.

As soon as Jiang Xu saw the letter, although he didn't open it, he already knew that it was a letter written to him by his mother, because only his mother would seal it with that kind of thing. He took the letter, opened it, and hurriedly glanced at it, the letter was full of his mother's advice and instructions to him, roughly saying that Yang Fu was doing an earth-shattering event, but he needed Jiang Xu's help, please Jiang Xu spared no effort to help Yang Fu, and obeyed his arrangement.

Jiang Xu is a famous filial son, his mother Yang is Yang Fu's aunt, Jiang surname is also Liangzhou surname, his father and mother were also considered to be a good match, but the good times did not last long, his father died young, his mother pulled him up alone, and taught him how to behave, during which he received a lot of help from his mother's mother's Yang, and Jiang Xu was fostered in his grandfather Yang's house because of his poor family when he was young, so Jiang Xu and his mother have a sense of gratitude to Yang, even Jiang Xu married a wife and had children, and Yang often corresponded.

Therefore, when Jiang Xu finished reading this letter from his mother Yang, he raised his head, changed his face just now, became cold, and said to Yang Fu with his fists clenched: "If Lord Yang has any arrangements, even if he is told, Jiang Xu will spare no effort to help your lord." ”

Jiang Xu's name was Lord Yang Fu, and he obviously had already faced Yang Fu, but Jiang Xu didn't ask what was going on, so he directly expressed his heart.

After Yang Fu listened to Jiang Xu's words, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Jiang Xu: "Brother Boyi, I want to see Yang Taishou!" ”

Jiang Xu frowned and asked, "Do you have to see it?" Is it a business or a private matter? ”

Yang Fu said: "I have to see it in public and private, and I ask Brother Bo Yi to arrange it on my behalf......"

Jiang Xu asked, "Can I know what the earth-shattering event my mother said?" Is there any connection with Yang Taishou? ”

Yang Fu nodded and said, "You are my cousin, you should know ......"

So, Yang Fu told Jiang Xu the whole thing, and after Jiang Xu heard it, he looked at Yang Fu differently, but he didn't expect that his cousin Wen Fei's weak body would dare to do such a big thing.

So, Jiang Xu said to Yang Fu: "I'll arrange the meeting with Yang Taishou." But if you want me to help persuade Yang Taishou, I'm afraid it's harder than climbing to the sky. To tell you the truth, although I am the most trusted person of Yang Taishou, I have not reached the realm of talking to Yang Taishou, and Yang Taishou has a withdrawn and weird personality, I am just worried that you will not be able to persuade him, but you will be killed......"

Yang Fu said with a smile: "It is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." If I don't do anything, what's the difference between that and a mediocrity? Please arrange for us to meet, if it succeeds, my brother will be the first credit, if not, I will definitely not confess my brother! ”

Jiang Xu said angrily: "What are you talking about? How can I, Jiang Xu, be greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

"Brother is angry, I definitely didn't mean that, and please don't misunderstand, brother. I just want to say that if something happens to me, I definitely won't bother my brother. ”

"Since you've come here, you've already affected me, no matter what, you and I are grasshoppers on a rope. I don't want you to fail, because if you fail, the whole family will be implicated. I will not object to your decision, I just want you to know that from the moment you make your decision, you have no turning back, even if there is a mountain of swords and fire in front of you, you have to break through! ”

Yang Fu bowed deeply to Jiang Xu and said to Jiang Xu: "Brother's words, Yishan remembers them in his heart and dare not forget them, so I need my brother's full help, only success, not failure!" (To be continued......)
