Guo Jia's start on Guanzhong was actually far earlier than Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang.

In that year, Cao Cao and Yuan Shang fought a decisive battle in Guanzhong, and Guo Jia was seriously ill and never went out with the army in Xu.

Later, by chance, Zhang Ji cured Guo Jia of a stubborn illness in Xudu, but at that time, Cao Cao, the world's number one hero, had been defeated by Yuan Shang, and the superstar fell and lost the sky.

Cao Cao's death has become an unforgettable sin in Guo Jia's life, and he stubbornly believes that if he was not sick in bed and could not go out with the army, Cao Cao would not have died, and the west of Chang'an would not have been lost, and the people who ruled the princes of the world would not have become Yuan Shang.

However, it is too late to say this, and all Guo Jia can do now is to try his best to make up for all this.

During this time, he assisted Cao Zhi in managing internal affairs internally, and while confronting Yuan and Liu externally, he also searched for people who could help him change the situation in Guanzhong.

The ghost genius Guo Jia has a good vision, and he knows that the key place that can shake the situation at present must be in Guanzhong.

Then, about half a year ago, this person was finally found by Guo Jia, he is now an official in Liangzhou, under the rule of Zhao Yun, but this person's loyalty to the Cao family is very strong. He is committed to the enemy, and has been searching for righteous people who are like-minded with him and loyal to the Cao family, eager to break the Tietong situation of Zhao Yun's monopoly in Guanzhong.

This person is called Yang Fu, in the early years of Jian'an, he was appointed by Cao Cao to engage in Liangzhou, and later served as the chief historian of Anding, he was loyal to Cao Cao and was willing to drive him.

After the death of Cao Cao in the decisive battle in Guanzhong, Yang Fu saw that he could not do anything, and then surrendered in Stability, in fact, he had no intention of surrendering, but he was an expedient thief, and wanted to follow Goujian, lying on his salary and tasting courage, in order to make a comeback. Serving the Cao family.

Guo Jia praised his great perseverance and resourcefulness, and secretly entrusted the entire northwest affairs with full authority.

In history, he was also extremely good, it was this Yang Fu who planned to crusade against Ma Chao and drive him out of Liangzhou.

Yang Fu's wisdom is profound, and Guo Jia mentioned it later, and he can see Yan Xing's restlessness and his dissatisfaction with Zhao Yun very early.

Therefore, Yang Fu has been waiting for the opportunity, thinking about starting from Yan Xing's body.

Now, Zhao Yun wants to crusade against Hanzhong. Yang Fu knew that the opportunity had finally come.

So, in the name of borrowing grain, he rushed from Nan'an to Jincheng to meet Yan Xing.

When the two met, the guests and hosts had finished the ceremony, and Yang Fu immediately said that Nan'an was in drought this year, and Cangao was not in good turnover, and he heard that Jincheng was ripe. I came to borrow seeds and use them for cultivation every year.

After Yan Xing understood the situation, he immediately agreed and reported back to the governor. Then the grain was transferred.

After the two finished discussing, they turned the topic to other private matters, talking about everything.

It's just waiting here. Yang Fu slowly led the topic to the son of the right path.

"General Yan, I haven't been out of Nan'an for a long time, and I have little insight into the affairs of the world. The general used to follow the lord to fight in Guanzhong, and he must have a unique vision, which may solve some doubts for Yang Fu. ”

Yan Xing touched the stiff beard on his chin and said, "Yang Changshi has something he wants to ask Yan?" ”

Yang Fu asked tentatively: "Dare to ask General Yan what he thinks, among the princes today, who is the lord of the people?" ”

Yan Xing thought for a while and said, "The lord is the overlord of the world, full of wisdom and imagination, and no one in the world can surpass him. ”

Yang Fu said again: "Then why does Liu Bei allow people?" ”

Yan Xing thought for a moment and said: "Liu Bei is a bit of a hypocrisy, but he really loves the people under his jurisdiction, as far as Yan knows, among the princes in the world, he is the only one who has not killed the people indiscriminately, and has not punished the three clans of others. and the people under his rule have never failed to support him. ”

Yang Fu opened his mouth again and asked, "What about Cao Zhi?" ”

Yan Xing frowned and said, "Cao Zhi...... Momentary majesty. ”

Hearing this, Yang Fu's heart suddenly cooled.

Now that Yan Xing is not trusted by Zhao Yun, he is resentful, and he wants to say that he abandoned Yuan and joined Cao, but through the dialogue of Shicai, Yang Fu found that Cao Zhi could not be compared with Yuan Shang in Yan Xing's heart, and listening to the meaning of Yan Xing's words, it seemed that he had affirmed that Yuan Shang was the number one person today.

A person like Yan Xing has always been based on his own interests, for his own future, he can pit the old master Han Sui to death, how can such a person give up Yuan Shang, who is the most promising to conquer the world, for a Cao Zhi who is not favored by himself?

It seems that it is unlikely that he will be persuaded to abandon Yuan Congcao.

Thinking of this, Yang Fu couldn't help but feel discouraged.

But he is a very person after all, and he came up with another routine in the blink of an eye.

It is impossible to say that he abandoned Yuan and returned to Cao, so test him in another way.

Thinking of this, Yang Fu coughed in a low voice, and said to Yan Xing: "General Yan, I heard that Governor Zhao gathered grain and grass in Chang'an, prepared his troops for war, and intended to go south to take the land of Hanning. ”

After saying this, he saw that the gaze in Yan Xing's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and his expression was no longer so natural, all of which fell into Yang Fu's eyes.

"Well, Zhao Dudu is very strong, it is indeed good, Zhang Lu is not his opponent." Yan Xing's answer was against his will, and there seemed to be anger in it, which Yang Fu couldn't not hear.

But seeing Yang Fu smiled, he said: "I heard that Governor Zhao went south this time, and he also sent someone to ask the general for troops, how is the general prepared?" ”

Yan Xing's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "General Zhao is the governor of Yongliang soldiers and horses, he summoned Yan to send troops, Yan should obey, what else can he prepare?" ”

Hearing this, Yang Fu was happy.

"General Yan, you are an old general under Han Sui in the past, and I am also a traitor under Cao Cao, we are all surrendered, there are some words, Yang Mou does not need to go around in circles with you, General Yan, although you have made outstanding achievements, but in this desolate place, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Metropolitan Governor Zhao Yun has a mustard heart for you, and the Lord never discords, which is a big taboo! Zhao Dudu is the confidant of the lord, the governor of Yongliang has the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, you are under his command, if he wants to take your life or abolish your post at any time, he does not need to go through the lord, General Yan, please do it yourself. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yan Xing's face changed directly!

He slammed to his feet. His eyes glared at Yang Fu with fire, and he said coldly: "Yang Fu, what do you mean by this!" ”

Yang Fu shook his head: "I don't have any other meaning, just feel sorry for General Yan, General Yan is a fierce general in Liangzhou, no matter whether he has skills or knowledge, he is not under the governor of Zhao, and he has served in Liangzhou since the first year of Jian'an. Compared to Zhao Yun, who was majestic and unreachable like a god, he still felt closer to General Yan......"

Listened to this. Yan Xing was stunned for a moment.

Yang Fu was tepid, and continued: "People go to high places, water flows to low places, the metropolitan governor and the general are separated from each other, and they have long been unable to work together...... I only hope that one day the general can replace Zhao Yun as the governor of Yongliang, so that he can share the worries of the Lord and show his ambitions. Thirdly, we will do our best to assist the general...... Ah, I'm ashamed to say too much...... Farewell. ”

Let's talk about it. Yang Fu glanced at Yan Xing deeply, and turned to leave, leaving Yan Xing standing in the hall with a surprised expression, looking stunned.

****************************

After Yang Fu left. Yan Xing didn't think about tea and dinner for days, and couldn't sleep.

Yang Fu's words lingered in his heart like a magic sound all the time, stimulating an indescribable thing in his chest to slowly sprout. And it's going from strength to strength over time.

This thing is nothing else, it's called ambition!

Yes, in terms of skills, he Yan Xing is familiar with military books, has a good battle strategy, understands military aircraft, even if he commands 100,000 troops, he is consciously effortless, and he has lived in Liangzhou for a long time, and he is the two clans! A body of martial arts is also shocking, when he was young, wasn't Xiliang Jinma Chao, who was called the general of Shenweitian by the Qiang people, almost died in his own hands?

What kind of thing is he Zhao Yun! It's just a butcher who helps the lord kill people in Hebei! It's just that after following the lord for a long time, can it be pressed on my head?

This Yongliang Metropolitan Governor, I deserve it more than him!

Thinking of this, Yan Xing, who was lying on the bed, suddenly got up and secretly clenched his fists!

The Lord doesn't know anyone, what's so great about Zhao Yun? Changshan is just a horseman! If I become the governor of Yongliang, who would dare to disobey the warlords in Guanzhong? Who dares to be disrespectful to the Qiang people? When the time comes, I will take the division of Guanzhong, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the Qiang reinforcements, take Bashu in the south, and enter the Central Plains in the east.

If the lord used me, his surname would have been Yuan in this world! Why wait until now, let Zhao Yun go to great lengths to take a mere Hanzhong?

Thinking of this, Yan Xing couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. At the beginning, he discarded Han Sui and came to invest in Yuan Shang, intending to make a big difference, and Yuan Shang was also very useful to himself, but he was repeatedly suppressed by Zhao Yun, and how many promotion opportunities did he miss? !

It's not that the lord knows people and doesn't know anyone, it's really Zhao Yun, who is jealous of his ability, I'm afraid that I will overshadow him!

He is not worthy of being the governor of Yongliang!

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Yan Xingzheng was thinking indignantly, when there was a sudden knock at the door, and the voice of the housekeeper's cronies entered from the outside and into Yan Xing's ears.

"General, someone from outside the house, said that he had something important to see."

Yan Xing frowned and said, "Who is so unruly when you come to ask for a meeting so late?" ”

"It's not our local people, they claim to be from Luoyang, and they have come to meet the general in the name of the Son of Heaven."

Yan Xing's eyebrows furrowed, and his tone was slightly surprised.

"Son of Heaven?"

The butler's voice came.

"Yes, his people call themselves the messenger of the Son of Heaven, the general, do you see it?"

Yan Xing took a deep breath and said, "The lord forced the palace before, although he won the position of the great general, but the Manchu Dynasty already hated him to the core, the Son of Heaven and the lord have long been incompatible, what good can I do when I see me at this time?" No, no, no! ”

After that, he turned over and fell to sleep, but he suddenly woke up in his head.

"Although the Son of Heaven is not good with the lord, he has nothing to do with me, I will listen to what he has to say, and then it will not be too late to do it......" (to be continued......
