From the first three years to the present, Xiahou Xuan has been in the post of the governor of Yongliang, the general of Zhengxi, for a full five years, it stands to reason that with Xiahou Xuan's talent, five years is enough to firmly control the situation in Yongliang and the two states in his own hands, but unfortunately, even if Xiahou Xuan works hard to do everything, he can never really control Yongliang's affairs, for him, he is always like an outsider.

Xiahou Xuan is indeed very helpless, not that he doesn't do his best, but the water in Yongliang is too deep, even if he exhausts five years, he still can't open up the situation in Yongliang.

On the surface, Xiahou Xuan has absolute power, and officials at all levels are also polite and obedient to him, but in fact, no matter what Xiahou Xuan does, there will be an invisible resistance to restrain him and make it difficult for him to move forward.

Xiahou Xuan also tried to change this situation, he tried to start by arranging people who were close to him, and cultivating forces loyal to him, but Xiahou Xuan was airborne from Luoyang, lacking a foundation, and there were not many talents to use, and many people around him were all children of Yongliang's family, and it was difficult for these people to become his cronies.

Occasionally, a few children of the poor family are favored by Xiahou Xuan and want to reuse them, but these people will have various accidents for a period of time, or die of inexplicable diseases, or die of accidents such as fire and drowning.

If it is normal to have an accident in one or two, but all the people that Xiahou Xuan tried to raise would die in a relatively short period of time, this is obviously not normal.

Xiahou Xuan was deeply angry about this, but he had no evidence, so he couldn't help it, in fact, even if there was evidence, what could he do, the other party wanted to use this means to suppress Xiahou Xuan, so that Xiahou Xuan could only be a bare-bones commander, and it was difficult to find even a person close to him.

Later, many of the small officials who originally wanted to take refuge in Xiahou Xuan were alienated from Xiahou Xuan, and it is the dream of all officials to be promoted to make a fortune, but compared with their lives, it is still too far away, so many people are respectful of Xiahou Xuan and dare not have anything to do with him.

In the face of this kind of Chiguoguo's threats and intimidation, Xiahou Xuan didn't seem to have any way at all, he also knew that someone was deliberately targeting him behind his back, but he never got the other party's handle.

Yongzhou Assassin Guo Huai, if on the surface, he is indeed a good man, for his top boss Xiahou Xuan, no matter on any occasion, he will give considerable respect, and his attitude is so humble that people can't find any fault.

Guo Huai is obedient to Xiahou Xuan on the surface, as long as Xiahou Xuan confesses, he will personally supervise and complete it seriously, so that you can't find any fault.

Of course, Guo Huai is also selective in this serious completion, and Guo Huai is very active in matters that have nothing to do with the overall situation, and the completion is also of high quality, but once it comes to things that endanger the interests of the Yongliang Group, Guo Huai delays and prevaricates as much as possible, and finally the big things are small, and the small things are turned into small things, and they are over.

Xiahou Xuan was deeply touched by Guo Huai's treachery, but he was helpless, he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Xiahou Xuan almost didn't have any way to this Guo Huai, after getting along for a few years, Xiahou Xuan almost got nothing, and there was no change in the pattern of Yongliang.

The more Xiahou Xuan stayed, the more depressed he became, the more depressed he became, he originally wanted Cao Shuang to transfer him back to Jingshi, but he couldn't open his mouth, Cao Shuang originally arranged for him to come to Guanzhong, just to let him control the overall situation in Guanzhong, but now he has returned in vain, Xiahou Xuan doesn't know how to explain to Cao Shuang.

Just when Xiahou Xuan was in a dilemma, the bad news from Luoyang came that Cao Shuang died.

Although the specific details were not fully understood, Xiahou Xuan still heard clearly what happened in general, that is, Sima Yi launched a mutiny, executed Cao Shuang and his henchmen, and Luoyang changed the sky!

For Xiahou Xuan, this is simply a bolt from the sky, Cao Shuang is his backer and backer, and now that the backer has suddenly fallen, then his days in Guanzhong will become even more difficult.

Guo Huai's attitude became very ambiguous at this time, although on the surface he still maintained his inherent respect for Xiahou Xuan, but judging from his various signs of behavior, he gradually became wary of Xiahou Xuan, and secretly arranged people to keep an eye on Xiahou Xuan's movements around Xiahou Xuan's mansion.

Guo Huai's move seems to have the purpose of monitoring and controlling Xiahou Xuan, perhaps Guo Huai has already received Sima Yi's order, or Guo Huai acted with his unique political sense.

Xiahou Xuan is Cao Shuang's person, and now that Cao Shuang has fallen, Xiahou Xuan is like a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump for a few days.

Xiahou Ba was in the same situation as Xiahou Xuan, who served as the protector of Shu and came to Guanzhong earlier than Xiahou Xuan, and he was not a member of Cao Shuang's family, but was appointed by the first emperor Cao Rong to restrain Sima Yi, who was still the governor of Yongliang at that time.

It's just that not long after Xiahouba arrived, Zhuge Liang died in Wuzhangyuan, and there was no strong enemy to attack, Sima Yi was quickly transferred from Yongliang by Cao Rong, and went to Liaodong to quell Gongsun Yuan's rebellion, while Xiahouba stayed in Guanzhong, and more than ten years passed in a flash.

The relationship between him and Guo Huai is more ugly, unlike Xiahou Xuan is Guo Huai's top boss, Guo Huai is Xiahouba's top boss, because Guo Huai constantly wears small shoes for Xiahouba, Xiahouba's life in Guanzhong is not easy.

Later, Xiahou Xuan served as the general of the expedition to the west, and as Xiahou Xuan's cousin, Xiahou Ba's life was over, and his situation was greatly improved.

However, Xiahou Xuan's support for Xiahou Ba is limited after all, after all, Xiahou Xuan is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, Guo Huai is more respectful to Xiahou Xuan on the surface, but he has been doing errands that are contrary to yang and yin, and he has completely set Xiahou Xuan in the air.

Although Xiahouba's life has improved, but after all, it is not easy, it can only be regarded as difficult, compared to simply serving under Guo Huai, it has changed a little, and now the bad news has suddenly spread in Luoyang, and the situation in Guanzhong has become delicate.

What to do? has become the most realistic problem in front of Xiahouba, Cao Shuang has fallen, where should they go? Xiahou Ba specially came to Xiahou Xuan's place to ask him for advice, and he also wanted to see what plans and arrangements Xiahou Xuan had to deal with this sudden crisis.
