During the trip to Jiuquan, Yang Fu successfully gained Yang Qiu's support, in order to be able to completely expel Ma Chao's forces from Liangzhou, they did not act rashly, but continued to secretly contact all the people who could be contacted.

For this reason, Yang Fu and Yang Qiubing split into two ways, Yang Fu continued to travel west, preparing to go to Dunhuang to persuade Dunhuang to be too guarded Suoguang, while Yang Qiu went to Zhangye's subordinate country, to see Zhangye's subordinate state Lieutenant Cheng Yi, Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi are friends of life and death, you can put your heart in your heart, Yang Qiu will come forward, Cheng Yi will definitely stand on Yang Fu's side without hesitation. And Yang Fu's friend Liang Kuan is also a chronicler under Cheng Yi, and with such a two-tier relationship, he doesn't worry about this matter.

In addition, Yang Fu's entire family is actively running, this is a major event related to the life and death of their entire Yang family, so the entire Yang family is also invested in this, for a while, the seemingly calm land of Liangzhou, but in fact, there is a continuous undercurrent, and a bloody storm is about to be set off.

After more than 20 days of hard work, Dunhuang Taishou Suoguang, Jincheng Taishou Gaishun, Zhangye Taishou Zhang Meng, as well as Jiang Yin, Zhao Ang, Yin Feng, Yao Qiong, Kong Xin, Li Jun, Wang Ling, Zhao Qu, Pang Gong and other friends of Yang Fu, all did not hesitate to participate in this operation, some of these people are officials, some are businessmen, some are big households in Liangzhou, and some are small officials in the county, but almost everyone has received Yang Fu's favor, when Yang Fu needs them, they do not hesitate to stand up, decisively joined Yang Fu's plan.

In addition, Yang Fu's family also gave strong support. His brothers Yang Mo, Yang Yue, Yang Ling, Yang Zhao and others also organized a large number of familiar soldiers and were willing to obey Yang Fu's orders.

These things. It was all done in secret, and because the Yang family and other families in Liangzhou were in close contact, even if there were some frequent contacts these days, it did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

After some rough statistics, Yang Fu can mobilize only about 40,000 soldiers and horses, among which he can really go into battle to kill the enemy. I'm afraid there are only the two armies of Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi, and the rest are all entangled. At first glance, it looks like a plate of loose sand.

You must know that Ma Chao's army is invincible, and the three soldiers and horses left in Liangzhou are also very strong. Add a total of 60,000 people, Ma Gang, Wang Shuang, and Pang Rou each led 20,000 soldiers and horses, stationed here, overlooking the entire land of Liangzhou, in addition, those Qianghu are even more in awe of Ma Chao, as long as Ma Chao gives an order, those Qianghu will send troops to attack, which is also a lot of pressure on them.

Thankfully, though. Now Ma Chao is not in Liangzhou, and Pang De and Ma Dai were taken away by Ma Chao, although there are many heavy soldiers left. But it is easier to deal with than Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Pang De.

Yang Fu went to Wuwei first, and met with Xu Shu secretly, and the two discussed the details of the operation again, and finally decided to start with Pang Rou and control Wuwei first.

Wuwei County is on the road to the east and west, and the armies of Yang Qiu and Chengyi want to think of the eastern part of Liangzhou. You must go through Wuwei, as long as you control Wuwei. It is equivalent to opening the door for Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi's army to advance eastward.

For this reason, Xu Shu and Yang Fu made some plans, set up a Hongmen banquet, invited Pang Rou to the banquet, and tied Pang Rou during the banquet, as long as Pang Rou was captured, everything else would be easy to do. Because the long history of Pang Rou's subordinates is Yang Fu's friend Jiang Yin, and Jiang Yin and Jiang Xu are cousins, Jiang Xu has secretly contacted Jiang Yin, Jiang Yin is very supportive of this action, but there is also a condition, that is, do not kill Pang Rou.

Pang Rou is a rare good official for the benefit of the people, but because Pang Rou's younger brother Pang De is Ma Chao's confidant, he has to plan cautiously, and there can be no mistakes, otherwise, he will lose everything.

Xu Shu set up a Hongmen banquet and sent someone to invite Pang Rou, Pang Rou and Xu Shu had no intersection and didn't want to go very much, but he couldn't stand Jiang Yin's persuasion, so he took some entourage to the banquet.

Who knows, Pang Rou was detained by Xu Shu this time, and Jiang Yin rebelled and stood on Xu Shu's side, so that not a single soldier was injured, Xu Shu and Yang Fu took Wuwei County with Jiang Yin's support.

The next day, Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi's troops arrived in Wuwei County, and it only took half a day to arrive at the city of Guzang. But because Jiang Yin had already persuaded the officers at all levels in the army, Wuwei's 20,000 troops did not clash with Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi's troops, but on the contrary, they even fought with them, and the 20,000 elite troops easily joined the ranks of subverting Ma Chao.

Ma Chao has a lot of troops, but most of them are collected from the battlefield, the real army loyal to Ma Chao is held in Ma Gang's hands, and the 20,000 troops are the elite of Ma Chao left in Liangzhou, and they are also impossible for outsiders to touch, and they have always been controlled by the people of the Ma family.

In addition, Wang also held a thousand Ma family troops in his hands, and the remaining 19,000 people were also recruited in the war, and these people were afraid of Ma Chao, so they accepted the reorganization and became Ma Chao's subordinates.

But this group of people is not quite the same as the 20,000 army led by Pang Rou, most of these people are displaced people from the Sanfu region of Yongzhou and Yizhou, and many of them are local people in Wudu, they are only afraid of Ma Chao, only obey the strong, although they were recruited, but they are all happy and convinced of Ma Chao, so after Ma Chao left, he handed over this army to Wang Shuang to lead.

Wang Shuang's martial arts are superb, among the generals under Ma Chao's account, second only to Pang De, and even able to tie with Ma Dai, and because this person started as a soldier, he understands the suffering of the soldiers at the bottom, loves the soldiers, and can bear hardships and stand hard work with the soldiers, eat and sleep together, and is deeply loved by his subordinates.

In this way, it is equivalent to Xu Shu and Yang Fu They have to face two strong armies, one is the Ma Jiajun in Anding County, and the other is Wang Shuangjun in Wudu County, if they want to subvert Ma Chao's power in Liangzhou, they must start a big war with these two armies.

But with their current strength, although they are not inferior to Ma Gang and Wang Shuang in terms of troops, and even more than these two armies combined, only they know that no matter how many troops they have, they will not be able to deal with these two armies at the same time.

In the end, after some discussion, everyone unanimously decided to keep quiet and secretly dispatch troops to prepare for each defeat.

The Ma family army led by Ma Gang is the most elite army, and Anding County has geographical advantages, starting from Ma Teng, the Ma family has been operating there, and its power has long been deep-rooted, and it is impossible to uproot it in a short time. Moreover, Ma Gang is not a reckless man, he has rich combat experience, and he is also very sharp in commanding battles, brave and strategic, and not suitable for dealing with.

Therefore, everyone compared the pros and cons and decided to start with Wang Shuang of Wudu County first. Although Wang Shuang bravely crowned the three armies, and although his subordinates were willing to serve him, as long as he used a little trick, he would not be able to take Wang Shuang down. What's more, Yang Fu, as the Taishou of Longxi, is adjacent to Wudu County, and he can also follow the example of catching Pang Rou and set up a Hongmen banquet to capture Wang Shuang, or kill him. As long as Wang Shuang died, his subordinates had no leader, and they were like a plate of scattered sand, and then Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi and others led a sudden attack to defeat him.

Just in case, Xu Shu also wrote a secret letter, sent someone to Shuofang County secretly, and handed it to the former general Tai Shici, asking Tai Shici to send troops to assist them and approach Anding County, so as to threaten Ma Gang, drag Ma Gang's army, and prevent him from taking any action.

After everything was ready, Yang Fu took his leave and returned to Longxi County in advance, he still had a thousand county soldiers in Longxi County, which could be used, and Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi rushed to Longxi County with tens of thousands of troops, and they had to pass through Jincheng County on the way, but because Jincheng Taishou Gaishun was also involved, so they were released all the way, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi and others did not encounter a little obstacle, and on the second day when Yang Fu returned to Longxi County, they also arrived in Longxi County with a large army.

Xu Shu sat in Guzang with full authority to command the overall situation, Yang Fu, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi and others gathered in Longxi, in addition, Yang Mo, Yang Yue, Yang Ling, Yang Zhao, Zhao Ang, Yin Feng, Yao Qiong, Kong Xin, Li Jun, Wang Ling, Zhao Qu, Pang Gong and others also gathered in Longxi, everything was based on Yang Fu's horse and discussed how to deal with Wang Shuang.

Among them, Li Jun is a native of Wudu County, and he is also an inconspicuous nail planted by Yang Fu in Wang Shuang's army, serving as a military commander, two days ago he received a secret letter from Yang Fu, inviting him to Longxi County for a secret meeting, so he took leave and came.

How to deal with Wang Shuang, in fact, Yang Fu had thought about it a long time ago, but when he revealed to Li Jun that he had set up a Hongmen banquet, he was opposed by Li Jun. Li Jun was by Wang Shuang's side, knowing that Wang Shuang was brave and martial, even if Wang Shuang really came, he was worried that no one would be able to subdue him, but he would suffer from it.

After hearing this, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Jiang Xu, Jiang Yin, Yang Yue and other cadres were not convinced, thinking that Li Jun was raising the morale of others and destroying his own prestige.

But Yang Fu was deeply convinced of Li Jun's statement, so he decided to cancel the Hongmen banquet, but to kill Wang Shuang, a good way was needed, and finally Yang Fu targeted the gold, silver and jewelry that Ma Chao brought back.

Through Li Jun, Yang Fu learned the location of the gold, silver and jewelry, so he had an idea in his heart, smiled, gathered everyone around him, and told them his plan.

After hearing this, everyone gave Yang Fu a thumbs up, feeling that Yang Fu's strategy was extremely superb and a clever plan, if it could succeed, Wang Shuang would definitely die without a place to be buried! (To be continued)
