In the afternoon of that day, in the elegant pavilion at the end of a corridor in the Grand Sima Mansion, Guo Jiazheng sat together with a majestic, extraordinary temperament, with a powerful and poseful man.

"The wine from the Grand Sima Mansion is extraordinary, at least a fine wine of more than 20 years. Brother Jiang, do you really want it?" Guo Jia said while drinking wine.

After seeing this, Jiang Wan next to him smiled bitterly and whispered: "Brother Guo, this place is the Grand Sima Mansion after all, so you still need to pay attention to your demeanor."

"Jia was about to have lunch when she was suddenly brought by Gongda and a large group of tiger guards. She was already hungry," Guo Jia said, and burped without any politeness.

Jiang Wan was moved when she heard this: "It seems that Brother Guo's test paper must have been greatly favored by Grand Sima, otherwise he would not have taken it so seriously."

"Favor won't leave us here, it's almost an hour," Guo Jia said with a smile.

"This is indeed strange. I think the Grand Sima probably encountered an urgent matter," Jiang Wan frowned.

Guo Jia raised his lips, wiped his mouth and said, "If there is anything more anxious than this assessment and recruitment of talents, then there is only one kind of thing. The foundation of Guanzhong, the three auxiliary places are in danger, Xiliang is impossible, and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong is not worth mentioning. Yuan Shu in Nanyang has a motive, but it will not be so fast. With Hangu Guan, it should not make the Grand Sima unable to take this time. There is only one possibility, that is, there is a problem with Hetao."

"Hetao" Jiang Wan's eyes froze.

"Yes, since the Qianghu leader Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were killed by the Zhenxi General Han Sui, foreign tribes such as Qianghu and Xiaoyuezhi west of Liangzhou have been unable to become popular. The only one who can directly threaten Sanfu is the Southern Xiongnu, which was placed in Hetao and other nomadic tribes. The Southern Xiongnu are divided into two factions, one is the branch in Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang, Shangjun and other Hetao areas. The Xiongnu family supported by Lao Wang, and the other faction is Yu Fuluo, the son of the former old Shanyu Qiangqu. They often loot Bingzhou, Hedong generation, Lao Wang is steady and will not start a war against the court at will. If you guess well, it is probably the problem that Yu Fuluo." Guo Jia narrowed his eyes.

"Brother Guo, why are you so sure? Could it be that you have the ability to see the future?" Jiang Wan said in surprise.

Hearing this, Guo Jia grinned and said, "Because when I was arrested, I happened to see Baili Jiaqi and entered Chang'an from the north gate, so I am definitely not a prince outside the pass."

Jiang Wan was stunned and then said in admiration: "Although this is the case, Brother Guo's sense of smell is amazing. In this way, Yu Fuluo intends to seize the opportunity and retake the throne."

"It probably hasn't stopped. The Yellow River has many harms, and only the rich one is the only one. Hetao starts from Helan in the east, ends from Luliang in the west, connects to the Great Wall in the south, and connects to Yinshan in the north."

"The abundant water and grass are not only conducive to farming, but also nomadic, and are enough to support millions of people. In this way, it is absolutely not enough to rely on him alone for Fulu, otherwise you would not have to wait until now."

After Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows, she whispered: "Lu Bu"

"Yes, Lu Bu was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou. If you have some knowledge, you will definitely be accompanied by Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, and the Xiongnu, and the external troubles. Now, the old king of the Xiongnu and the left wise king Wu Weixie, it is said that he has submitted a report to the court early to show his loyalty. If Lu Bu had a plan to rebel, he would definitely be accepted by Fuluo's troops, take Bingzhou as the foundation, and lean against Hetao's back, wrapping up the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Qianghu and other 100,000 people, and become the overlord's cause and look at the Central Plains," Guo Jia said with a smile.

Jiang Wan's face darkened, "Will Yu Fuluo listen to Lu Bu?"

"It's not listening, but cooperation, because Lu Bu is now the governor of Bingzhou. Since the decline of the Han court, his jurisdiction over Hetao has been much worse than before. The governor of Bingzhou is the nominal controller, and Yu Fuluo is the Hun. Even if his troops are strong and his cavalry are brave, he will not be able to occupy the city of the Han Dynasty. Hetao is his destination. As long as Lu Bu sends people to make friends with him sincerely, he will definitely form an alliance." Guo Jia took a sip of the wine glass.

"What should the court do?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wan trembled, and Guo Jia, who was thinking, seemed to not notice anything wrong, and sneered: "If the Grand Sima had not been in charge of Guanzhong, it might be possible that this grand plan would be realized, but the Grand Sima would never allow it. Even Zhang Yang blocked the way, the Grand Sima would go to war immediately, not to mention that the Hetao was related to the safety of the Grand Sima. Once the Hetao was lost, Lu Bu's army could reach Xiaoguan in the north at any time and attack the Sanfu."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and said, "However, it is estimated that the Grand Sima of the Hetao area has also set his sights on it, but he has been in the name of Wuming. This time it is a great opportunity. The coalition forces in Xiliang, from the north, went out of Xiaoguan, entered Hetao, reset the General of the Huns, and controlled Shuofang and Wuyuan. They have this natural ranch and can also pose a threat to Bingzhou. They just don't know if it is Grand Sima whether he intends to lead the army to fight in person, or order Guo Si who is stationed in Tianshui, or Han Sui of Jincheng. If Hetao can be recovered, then the Grand Sima will dominate the entire northwest of the Han Dynasty."

"Fengxiao" Jiang Wan couldn't help but pull Guo Jia's sleeve.

"What's wrong with you, Brother Jiang?" Guo Jia looked at Jiang Wan who was suddenly nervous and said in confusion.

"Haha" suddenly burst out laughing, and a big hand hugged Guo Jia's shoulder and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, you said it well, then you can go with me, how about it?"

After Guo Jia was stunned, he slowly turned his head to look, and saw that Niu Fu was already standing behind him, his eyes full of admiration.

"Meet the Grand Sima" Jiang Wan took the lead and stood up.

"Meet the Grand Sima" Guo Jia also stood up in a hurry.

"Sit down, sit down." Niu Fu pressed his hands and asked the two to return to the stone chair.

Looking at the two men who were bowing their heads, Niu Fu sat down and said, "Fengxiao, what you said is right. Yu Fuluo surrendered to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu also asked himself to be the General of the Huns. Three days ago, Yu Fuluo and Zhang Liao led their troops to take down Wuyuan. The prefect of Wuyuan, Zan, fled into Guanzhong and sued Lu Bu."

After Guo Jia's eyes moved, he looked up slightly and said, "Although Lu Bu is brave, he has no heroic power. If he said he wanted to take back his hometown and use his former prestige to shock the Huns, Jia felt that it was normal, but he had won Yu Fuluo from the beginning, which seemed to be something he could not have thought of. If he could have thought of it, he would probably not have lost this wealthy land in Guanzhong."

"I heard that he recruited some people on his way to Taiyuan, but it is not clear who is specific, but one thing is clear, that is, Yuan Shao is going to let his son marry Lu Bu's daughter," Niu Fu said.

Hearing this, Jiang Wan said seriously: "Grand Sima, Yuan Shao is different from Lu Bu. His soldiers are elite and food are sufficient, with fierce generals as clouds, and counselors as rain."

"Not hindrance, Yuan Shao did this simply because he valued the reputation of Lu Bu as the world's number one god general. If he wanted him to help deal with Gongsun Zan, the Grand Sima didn't have to worry about these things at all, because at present, there was no vassal in the world who could firmly defeat the Grand Sima. Moreover, the Grand Sima held the name of the court, just as Grand Sima said, a good opportunity came and a war began," Guo Jia said coldly.

"Hahaha" Niu Fu smiled loudly and said, "How should I recover Hetao after being filial to me?"

Guo Jia's eyes rolled and said with a bit of a smirk: "Lu Bu is now the governor of Bingzhou. In fact, he occupied Wuyuan, which is legitimate. However, the Grand Sima has the trust of the emperor. Why not reset the governor of Shuofang in the Western Han Dynasty, take the northern territory, Shangjun, Wuyuan, and Shuofang into one, and break away from the jurisdiction of the governor of Bingzhou."
