Yang Fu's room was very dim, Xu Shu was sitting opposite him, and neither of them could see each other's faces in such a dark environment.

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

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

Yang Fu said: "You and I are both smart people, I won't beat around the bush with you, let's get straight to the point." The reason why Lord Xu stayed in Liangzhou was actually a chess piece deliberately laid by the regent, and Lord Xu's chess piece was very important, and the future ownership of Liangzhou was probably tied to Lord Xu alone. ”

After Xu Shu heard this, he couldn't help frowning, in the dark, he couldn't see the expression on Yang Fu's face, but he was surprised that Yang Fu was able to understand all this, you know, after Xu Shu stayed in Liangzhou, he never slacked off, and he didn't dare to slack off, he walked on thin ice every day, for fear of disappointing the regent's expectations of him, and only the regent and himself knew about this matter, and no one in Liangzhou knew his true purpose of staying in Liangzhou.

Many people believe that Xu Shu stayed in Liangzhou just to spy on Ma Chao, but this is only a trivial matter, his heavy responsibility is much higher than this, and his real purpose is to subvert the entire Liangzhou under Ma Chao's control, so that the power of the imperial court can take root in this land, thus replacing Ma Chao.

For this reason, Zhang Yan planned it from the beginning, first of all, to transfer Ma Chao out of Liangzhou. Let him go to the war in Pingshu. After the pacification of Shudi. Zhang Yan transferred Ma Chao to the battlefield of quelling the rebellion in Nanzhong, and completely scattered the troops led by Ma Chao, providing convenience to Xu Shu to the greatest extent.

Xu Shu knew all this, but Zhang Yan thought of Ma Chao too simply, Ma Chao left Liangzhou, but most of his henchmen and old troops stayed in Liangzhou, and they only obeyed Ma Chao's command. Xu Shu, who temporarily replaced Liangzhou Mu, did not pay attention to it at all.

Ma Gang, Pang Rou, Wang Shuang and others all have heavy troops, in addition, Gai Shun, Suo Guang, Yang Qiu, and Cheng Yi all have a part of the troops in their hands, although they are not Ma Chao's henchmen, but they are also obedient to Ma Chao, Xu Shu wants to subvert Liangzhou, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult.

"Yang Changshi, I don't understand what you're talking about!" At this moment, where is Xu Shu willing to admit that he is afraid of falling for Yang Fu. In case Yang Fu cares about Ma Chao, then he will have no place in Liangzhou. Although these people did not dare to kill him, it was not impossible to imprison him or deport him.

Yang Fu said: "Lord Xu, I treat each other with sincerity, and I hope that Lord Xu can treat me with sincerity." I knew that if I suddenly said such a thing, Master Xu must have doubts about me. However, I can tell Lord Xu justifiably that I already knew your purpose from the first day you stayed in Liangzhou, and if I wanted to denounce you, you would not have been sitting here talking to me a long time ago. ”

Xu Shu was silent, not knowing how to answer, and still wondering in his mind whether Yang Fu was using words to trick himself.

Yang Fu saw that Xu Shu was silent, so he continued: "Lord Xu, I also know your situation, the regent sent you to spy on Ma Chao secretly, but he didn't want to be monitored by Ma Chao, no matter where he went, there were people to follow, not very free." After Ma Chao left Liangzhou and led his troops to Yizhou, the matter of monitoring Lord Xu became more intense, and the officials in Liangzhou were all Ma Chao's old department, and they also ignored Lord Xu, and for such a long time, it was also bitter for Lord Xu. ”

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

Yang Fu also said to himself: "Lord Xu is wary of me, and it is human nature, but if I don't express my attitude tonight, I'm afraid that there will be no chance in the future." Lord Xu, although I am Ma Chao's subordinate, but I know Ma Chao's ambition very well, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, my Han warlords have been divided, wars have been raging, and now it is finally towards peace and reunification, I will never allow anyone to split the Han Dynasty and divide the place. Ma Chao is a wolf with ambitions, on the surface obedient to the imperial court, but in fact he is secretly accumulating strength, in the battle of Pingshu, Ma Chao obtained a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry from the Han, and secretly ordered Ma Dai to escort to Wudu and handed over to Wang Shuang for safekeeping. If Ma Chao returns to Liangzhou, he will inevitably use this large amount of wealth to recruit troops and expand his armaments, once Ma Chao has some climate, he will inevitably rebel against the imperial court, at that time, Liangzhou will no longer be owned by the imperial court, and Liangzhou will fall into war again because of this. As a Liangzhou man, how can I bear to see Liangzhou ruined in the hands of such a puppet? ”

Xu Shu listened quietly, Yang Fu was very excited when he spoke, although he couldn't see the expression on Yang Fu's face, but he could feel Yang Fu's heart from the words. In his opinion, Yang Fu chose to turn his back on Ma Chao for the sake of Liangzhou, and this kind of character is very noble.

In addition, Yang Fu also said a situation that Xu Shu did not know, that is, Ma Chao smuggled back a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry for future army expansion, which he never knew.

Yang Yishan's name is well known to everyone in Liangzhou, this person is not only a celebrity, but also a benevolent and generous person.

He has always been grateful to Wei Duan because his predecessor Liangzhou Mu Wei Duan had the grace of knowing him, and even after Wei Duan was killed by Han Sui, all he thought about was how to avenge Wei Duan, even if he gave up his life, he did not hesitate to do so. In addition, from celebrities and celebrities to peddlers and pawns in Liangzhou, as long as there is someone in need, he will reach out to help. Moreover, the Tianshui Yang family has a lot of prestige in Liangzhou, and Yang Fu's family is also a wealthy family, quite wealthy, and the relationship between the Yang family in Liangzhou is also very extensive.

These are all important reasons why Xu Shu wants to find Yang Fu to help him, but he should have persuaded Yang Fu, but at this moment, it seems to be the other way around, and Yang Fu has done everything possible to show him his intentions, which means that he wants to serve the imperial court, subvert Ma Chao's power in Liangzhou, and return Liangzhou to peace.

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

Yang Fu said: "Even now, Lord 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 and deliberately deceived me, wouldn't I easily fall into the trap you set?" Xu Shu said tentatively.

Yang Fu laughed and said, "Lord Xu, if I wanted to deceive you, I would have deceived you a long time ago, and I still have to wait until today?" Lord Xu is afraid of wolves in the front and tigers in the back, so it can't be a big deal. If I was really sent by Ma Chao, you and I wouldn't have to have a private meeting at this time. ”

Xu Shu asked, "You really weren't sent by Ma Chao?" ”

"It's not." Yang Fu replied rhetorically.

Xu Shu said: "Okay, then I will believe 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 the question, just ask." Yang Fu Road.

Xu Shu said: "Yang Changshi, although Ma Chao is not in Liangzhou now, Ma Chao's henchmen are all heavily armed and distributed in various places in Liangzhou. ”

Yang Fu said: "Since I came, I won't come in vain, I have already thought of a way to deal with Ma Chao." It's just that now Ma Chaoren is not in Liangzhou, and it is a great pity that he can't be solved together. However, it is precisely because Ma Chao is not in Liangzhou that it makes it more convenient for us to do things. To subvert Ma Chao's power, for me, it is as easy as a breeze......"

When Xu Shu heard this, he laughed and said to Yang Fu: "Yang Changshi is not ashamed to speak, and he is not afraid of flashing his tongue. Ma Chao's fame is enough to shock the entire Liangzhou, and his subordinates are all elite generals, we now have no people, no soldiers, how can we subvert Ma Chao's power? ”

Yang Fu smiled and said, "It's reasonable that Lord Xu doesn't believe me, because no matter what anyone hears what I say, they will feel a little unlikely. But I just want to make the impossible possible. Although Ma Chao's subordinates are strong and strong, they are just a group of people with developed limbs and simple minds after all, and it is natural to use force to deal with this group of people, but if you want to use intelligence, they are definitely not our opponents. I have already thought of a foolproof strategy, in this strategy, Lord Xu is the key to the key, as long as Lord Xu is willing to do what I say, I dare to guarantee that in less than a month, on the land of Liangzhou, there will be no more Ma Chao's henchmen, in exchange for the iron-blooded man who cares about my big man! ”

After Xu Shu heard this, he said to Yang Fu: "Yang Changshi, is this true? ”

"If there is half a lie, Lord Xu can behead me!" Yang Fu Road.

Xu Shu still asked with some worry: "So, can I know how Yang Changshi is going to subvert Liangzhou?" ”

Yang Fu told Xu Shu about the plan in his heart, and its main central meaning was to set up a Hongmen banquet, set up a banquet to entertain Ma Gang, Pang Rou, Wang Shuang and others, and then ambush the dead and kill them during the banquet.

After Xu Shu heard this, he couldn't help frowning, in his opinion, Yang Fu's perfect strategy is not perfect at all, it is more of an adventure, just an idealized state, in this perfect strategy, even if they kill these Ma Chao's henchmen and favorite generals, their subordinates may not be willing to give up, if they don't do it well, then they will lose everything, let alone subvert Liangzhou, they will even die because of this, and there is no place to bury.

One step forward is a cliff, one step back is also a cliff, since they are all cliffs, it is better to move forward than to retreat, at least, on the way forward, there is still a glimmer of hope, walk 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 wonderful, there are still many shortcomings, and it is too risky. I have a plan......" (To be continued. )
