The next day, when he woke up, he was dressed and stopped, habitually preparing to hang the jade knife at his waist, his hand touched the head of the bed, frowned and thought for a while, slapped his thigh violently, and said, "Quickly go and find out where the general of the military division is......"

The news soon came back, the military division and the general's mansion had dismissed all the slaves, and Wen Ziyu went out of the city last night, taking advantage of the darkness to hide his tracks, and completely disappeared.

Fuqu Wugu secretly pondered to himself, Chang'an has a curfew at night, and no one can go out without Xu You's edict, so it can be seen that Wen Ziyou is indeed not lying, and his departure has been approved by Xu You. As for whether he really returned to the mountains and forests after leaving, it didn't matter, no matter how smart a person was, there was no place for him to exert his talents, such as a dragon swimming in the shallow sea, and he couldn't set off too much wind and waves.

However, to be honest, I feel a little sorry for the priceless jade knife, but being able to use a knife to form a good relationship with Wen Ziyu makes Wugu feel that this deal is still profitable. He always believes that as long as he has tasted the taste of power, no one can really let go of the kind of power that stands at the top, overlooks all living beings, and controls the dignity and disgrace of others at will, honor and disgrace, life and death.

At this moment, after receiving the order from the General's Mansion, Fuqu Wugu went to visit, and after waiting in the lobby for about two quarters of an hour, Tan Zhuo Shi Ran walked in and said very enthusiastically: "Let Zhang Ye Gong wait for a long time, rude!" The general inspected Xicheng, because of a trivial delay, he couldn't come back for a while, for fear of neglecting Zhang Yegong, he specially ordered me to make amends! ”

As Sima of the General's Mansion and one of Xu You's main henchmen, Tan Zhuo's current status and power in Xiliang are unmatched, and on the surface, even He Wei, who joined the Military Division, can't be compared.

For such a person, how dare he dare to hold it up, he hurriedly stood up, and said: "Tan Sima is serious, the general is busy with military affairs, and it is appropriate to wait for a while, so it doesn't matter." ”

"Having said that, but the general asked me to make amends, how dare I disobey? Zhang Yegong, sit! Tan Zhuo sat down on the main seat, set up his robe, and said, "Come on, serve tea!" ”

The subordinate in the military uniform took the tea and stepped back, looking at the frustrated Qu Wugu with his eyes, Tan Zhuo explained: "The general's mansion is full of these rough military athletes, and there are no maids and maids, if you don't take care of it, Zhang Ye Gong should not dislike it." ”

Frustrated Qu's heart was slightly cold, the general's self-control was really terrible, he didn't step into the palace half a step after entering the city, so that those who coveted the queen's beauty, including him, all restrained their thoughts, but they didn't expect that even the living in the palace was so simple - a very human minister, who doesn't love money or sex, so what else can he love?

Beads of sweat oozed from the back of the frustrated Qu Wugu, he sat sideways in the chair, his face was not abnormal, and he said: "The general is really a model for my generation......" Deep in his heart, he was even more afraid of Xu You.

Tan Zhuo smiled, didn't answer his words, and said, "I invite Duke Zhangye to come to the house today, because I want to hear your opinion." ”

"Listen quietly."

"The imperial court intends to divide the original six states of Xiliang into two states, one is Qinzhou, which has 27 counties under its jurisdiction, including Longxi County, Hanxing County, Anding County, Tianshui County, Longdong County, Xinping County, Chang'an County, Baishui County, Shangluo County, and Yichuan County, and the county is governed in Chang'an; One is Liangzhou, which has 18 counties under its jurisdiction, including Wuwei County, Jiuquan County, Jincheng County, Dunhuang County, Linsong County, Wudu County, Anding County, Beidi County, and Zhangye County, and the state is governed in Wuwei City. The general wants you to serve as the assassin of Liangzhou, to guard the road to Hexi for Great Chu, Anding County is still the county of the Fuqu clan, and the houses, fields, and clan temples are all intact, and they are still held by the Fuqu clan, what do you think? ”

"This ......"

Fuqu Wugu hesitated, according to the prior covenant, Xu You promised him to Yongzhen Liangzhou, and no interference in sacrifices, taxes, regulations, laws, etc., was like a separation, and he was the de facto king of Liangzhou. But the so-called Liangzhou is only one of the six states of Xiliang, with only three counties under its jurisdiction, but the terrain is dangerous, the water and grass are abundant, and it is the foundation and prosperous place of Lu Shuihu.

However, Xu You's plan for the new Liangzhou covers almost the entire territory of Hexi, and it seems that there are only eighteen counties, but the area is ten times larger, and the power is ten times larger? The temptation of Fuqu Wugu is far greater than that of the unworthy king of Liangzhou - the king of the three counties, who has not yet been canonized by the imperial court, what is there to do?

Of course, before today, it was already a great achievement for Fuqu Wugu to be able to expand Lu Shuihu's control from Anding County to the entire Liangzhou County of Liangzhou, so he did not hesitate to be blinded and scolded by the world, betrayed Yao Ji again, and threw himself into Xu You's arms. But now, once he heard that he would have the opportunity to become the ruler of the vast and rich land in Hexi, the merits of the three counties were not very important to him.

Therefore, the people's hearts are insufficient, the desire is difficult to fill, and in the face of temptation, few people can make a rational enough judgment, and Fuqu Wugu firmly believes that instead of nesting in the land of the three counties to claim the king, it is better to jump out of this trap and go to Hexi to build a greater foundation.

"Don't worry, it's a big matter, give you three days to think about it, and then give me an answer."

Fuqu Wugu immediately made a decision and said: "Your Majesty only obeys the general's military orders, and the general asks me to go east, and I will never go west." If the general thinks that I am suitable for the history of Liangzhou Thorn, then I will fight for this life, and I will guard Hexi for the general! ”

Tan Zhuo smiled: "Okay, if you have this heart, I will tell the general." However, Zhang Ye Gong can think about it, he has done the history of Liangzhou Thorn, he is the uncle of the imperial court, and he thinks about the imperial court first in everything, but he is not as comfortable as before when he was stable......"

The implication is that the previous agreement is invalid, and you are given such a large territory in Liangzhou, don't think about being your grass king, the taxes should be paid, the conscription should be served, and the desert Gobi Desert is not a place outside the law, the will of the court is greater than the sky, and the shepherd guards one side, and the pastor must be guarded, the most important thing is that the surname of Liangzhou is An, not the surname Fuqu!

"Yes, yes! The heart of the festival is like a mirror, and he will never disappoint the love of the general! "Fuqu Wugu thinks very clearly, with Lu Shuihu's strength, it is impossible to swallow Liangzhou, but if he relies on Da Chu behind him, as a thorn in history, the military and political affairs are grasped, and many things are easy to do.

is still the same sentence, the king of grass is grass after all, but the history of Liangzhou Thorn has undoubtedly plated Lu Shuihu with a layer of gold, even if it does not restore the glory of the ancestors who established the north and south of the south, it is much more beautiful than following the Yao family as a slave for so many years.

"That's good, when the general comes back, I may have to talk to you, after you go back, you will first draft a charter, and write a simple statement of your views and governance plans for Liangzhou, so that you can be prepared, isn't it?"

Frustrated Qu Wugu said gratefully: "Thank you Sima for mentioning ......"

"Thank you for not having to, in the future, you will work under the command of the general, and if you are not thoughtful, please be considerate of Zhang Yegong. So, I congratulate the frustrated assassin in advance? Hahaha, please! ”

Tan Zhuo took Fuqu Wugu's arm and personally sent him outside the mansion, until he was far away, Fuqu Wugu suddenly woke up, this Tan Sima didn't seem to have done anything out of the ordinary, but it made him feel countless good feelings, and the whole process was in accordance with the rhythm of the other party's dialogue, neither asking why the imperial court suddenly wanted to divide Qinzhou and Liangzhou, nor asking who was in charge of Qinzhou's assassination - this person is very important, from a topographical point of view, Qinzhou directly pinched the throat of Liangzhou's eastward advance, from an economic point of view, the caravan from the Western Regions can only make money when they arrive in Chang'an, once it is sealed, The way to draw taxes is broken, as for politics, there is no need to mention the status of Chang'an, Liangzhou is important, but Qinzhou is also heavy in Liangzhou, so this person must be the general's henchman, perhaps, it is also a jasper purple gold knife hanging over his head......

Hell yes!

Tan Zhuo can stand out in the General's Mansion, under one person, above ten thousand, he really has a bit of weird ability!

Before returning to the mansion, a henchman galloped over, turned over and rolled on the ground, and said, "Lord Xun, something is wrong...... General, General was assassinated in Xicheng ......"

"Huh?"

Frustrated Qu Wugu was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to run to Xicheng, the boss was assassinated and did not show his loyalty, and he should be wearing small shoes in the future, but after thinking about it, Tan Zhuo said lightly just now that Xu You was delayed because of some trivial matter, which was a euphemism to tell him not to get involved in the affairs of Xicheng, to return home honestly, and wait for him to take office.

"Go home!"

The henchman was anxious and said, "Lord Xun, don't you go to Xicheng to take a look?" I heard that Lu Changshi and He Saijiu have gone to ......"

"Now that we're all gone, it's not much use for us to go over at this time." The more Frustrated Qu Wugu thought about it, the more he felt that Tan Zhuo was unfathomable, patted the horse's buttocks hard, and said, "Let's go, go home!" ”

The horses neighed and galloped away.
