Yang Fu, whose name is Yishan, is now serving as the Taishou of Longxi, because before Ma Chao took control of Liangzhou, he served as the long history of Liangzhou Thorn Shi Wei Kuan, and his reputation is loud, so everyone habitually calls him Yang Changshi.

After Ma Chao killed Han Sui, Yang Fu returned to Liangzhou, followed Ma Chao and became Ma Chao's most trusted strategist, and gave advice to Ma Chao, which laid the foundation for Ma Chao to control Liangzhou.

Later, Ma Chao accepted the reward of the imperial court and served as the pastor of Liangzhou and the general of Zhenxi, and the imperial court expelled the foreign forces in Liangzhou in order to open up the Silk Road, and Ma Chao was also attached to the arms of the Han court.

Although Ma Chao was nominally attached to the Han court, in fact, the real ruler of Liangzhou was Ma Chao, who was equivalent to a warlord and controlled everything in Liangzhou.

The gate of Guzang City slowly opened, Xu Shu personally went out to greet Yang Fu, Yang Fu was also flattered, the two of them exchanged a few words of greeting as soon as they met, and then went to the state pastor's mansion together.

Guzang City is the county seat of Wuwei County, since Ma Chao served as the pastor of Liangzhou, he moved the state capital to Guzang City, Guzang City is located in the center of Liangzhou's territory, convenient to control the western part of Liangzhou and the eastern part of Liangzhou.

After Ma Chao left, he asked Xu Shu to temporarily serve as the pastor of Liangzhou on his behalf, and was fully responsible for handling large and small matters in Liangzhou. said so, but in fact, Xu Shu was just a puppet that was set aside, and after Ma Chao left, all the official documents sent by Xu Shu from the state capital. The county guards were all temporarily detained and did not reply, preparing to wait until Ma Chao came back to make a decision.

And Guzang is in the city. There is also Wu Wei Taishou Pang Rou to govern, Xu Shu can't intervene at all, and during the entire period when he replaced Ma Chao as the pastor of Liangzhou, he has always been idle, and he has no power at all.

Therefore, Xu Shu was very aggrieved. In his opinion, Liangzhou is the Liangzhou of the imperial court. It's not his Ma Chao's Liangzhou, Xu Shu thought about it. still felt that the current status quo should be changed, so among all the officials in Liangzhou, Xu Shu thought about it for several months. It was decided to make a breakthrough from Yangfu.

The reason why Yang Fu was chosen is because Yang Fu is a famous celebrity in Liangzhou, and the most important thing is that Yang Fu is not Ma Chao's old department, but came to take refuge later, but he is only grateful to Ma Chao for killing Han Sui and avenging him, and wants to end the chaos in Liangzhou as soon as possible, so he chose to take refuge in Ma Chao.

In addition, the reason why Ma Chao was able to quickly pacify the entire Liangzhou. Its greatest contribution is due to Yang Fu, because it was Yang Fu's advice that allowed Liangzhou to gradually settle down.

In the chamber of the state capital. Xu Shu set up a banquet to entertain Yang Fu, and Yang Fu braved the wind and snow to come as promised, which more or less moved Xu Shu, but Xu Shu didn't say anything in the hall, because his side was full of Ma Chao's ears and eyes.

When Ma Chao left Liangzhou, he just asked Pang De and Ma Dai to accompany him. The army only took part of it, and the rest was borrowed from the Qiang people. And most of the troops remained in Liangzhou, all of which were led by people trusted by Ma Chao, and the military power was firmly held in the hands of the Ma family.

At the banquet, Xu Shu and Yang Fu didn't talk much, after they were full of wine and food, the two of them exchanged a few words of greeting, and then separated, Xu Shu asked Yang Fu to arrange Yang Fu in the guest room, and he went to rest.

After Xu Shu returned to the room, he called his attendant over and gave him some money directly. The attendant looked confused and looked at Xu Shu in confusion.

Xu Shu said to the attendant: "You have been frowning for the past few days, do you think I can't see it?" Your mother is seriously ill and bedridden, but you have no money for medical treatment, so you can use the money first, and then you can cure your mother's illness first! ”

The attendant was suddenly inexplicably moved, he was ordered to monitor Xu Shu's every move, and even his mother was sick and couldn't serve, and the family's money was gone, and his boss was not there these days, and he couldn't borrow money. But he never revealed this matter to Xu Shu, how did Xu Shu know so clearly?

The attendant wanted to ask, but was stopped by Xu Shu and said: "You don't have to ask anything, I know your purpose by my side very clearly, you take this money, it is important to treat the sick and save people, I drank a little more wine today, I was a little dizzy, and I was ready to fall asleep after a while, you take advantage of this time to go home, just don't delay coming early tomorrow morning, this matter is only known to you, and there will definitely be no third person who knows." ”

The attendant was inexplicably moved, and in the face of duty and family affection, he chose the latter, took the money, said goodbye to Xu Shu, and quietly left the state capital.

Xu Shu knew that he was being monitored from the beginning, but he kept quiet and secretly observed, although Ma Chao monitored him very closely, but the tiger also had a nap, and anyone would have weaknesses, when he learned that the person in charge of monitoring him was a dutiful son, he already had a plan, and it just so happened that he got this news in the past few days, which just came in handy.

After sending away the attendants, Xu Shu's whole person seemed to be free, and his whole body was very comfortable. Next, what Xu Shu had to do was wait, he was waiting for it to get dark.

The night gradually fell, and although the blizzard was much smaller, it was still very cold outside, and most of the guards in charge of standing guard in the state capital were lazy, and they didn't know where to hide to keep warm.

The night was getting deeper, Xu Shu dressed as a guard, sneakily walked out of the room, he cautiously came to Yang Fu's door, saw that there was no one around, and was about to knock on the door, but suddenly thought that this was too abrupt, and he had not been in contact with Yang Fu beforehand, and he was just hearsay about this person's deeds, in case he went to Yang Fu by himself, and could not convince Yang Fu, or Yang Fu was united with Ma Chao, then his purpose was not exposed again? At that time, he will not be able to gain a foothold in Liangzhou.

Just when Xu Shu was hesitant and full of ambition, a voice suddenly came from Yang Fu's room: "Since you're here, why don't you come in?" ”

After hearing this, Xu Shu was taken aback, and just when he was still at a loss, Yang Fu's door suddenly opened, and under the reflection of the snow, Yang Fu's clear face appeared in front of Xu Shu.

"Lord Xu, Yang has been waiting for you for a long time!" Yang Fu arched his hand and said.

Xu Shu frowned and asked puzzledly, "Wait for me?" ”

Yang Fu poked his head out, looked around, and saw that there was no one under the corridor, so he said to Xu Shu: "Lord Xu, let's come in and talk!" (To be continued)
