Chapter 1778 shoot yourself in the foot
Fu Yu returned to the governor's mansion, frowned and looked sad. He had just returned from the prince's mansion. Prince Sima Yan summoned all ministers to discuss matters. As the minister of the regent, he naturally became the focus of attention of Prince Sima Yan and the ministers. Everyone hoped that Fu Yu could come up with an effective strategy to retreat to the enemy and resolve the current crisis in Liangzhou.
There is a good strategy to retreat to the enemy. Who doesn’t know how powerful Cao Liang is? Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, is defeated by Cao Liang’s hands, and most of the world is lost. How could it be possible to compete with Cao Liang’s army by relying solely on Liangzhou, a small land of remote and desolate land?
Sima Yan and other ministers also had a lot of trouble in their minds. They expected Fu Yu to come up with a plan to get rid of the enemy at this time. Wasn't this intentionally making things difficult for him?
It’s not that Fu Yu didn’t think of a solution, but that there was no way. In the face of absolute power, any strategy was a cloud. Even if Sun Wu was reborn in rebirth, Wu Qi might not be able to win this battle.
Fu Yu couldn't come up with a solution, and the others were even more worried. They were all like a dull man, and they couldn't beat him up. In the end, the matter ended up falling apart. Sima Yan's face turned ashen and extremely ugly.
But now Fu Yu can't take care of much, there is no way, there is really no way, but he is hiding it, Sima Yan is depressed? He is still depressed, who can I ask for advice?
Fu Yu returned to the governor's mansion and still looked humiliated. To be honest, when Guo Huai entrusted the prince to him before his death, Fu Yu was extremely reluctant. He knew the situation in Jin State now. Taking over this matter was like a hot potato, and it was not right to throw it away, nor was it right to throw it away. Now Fu Yu is in a difficult situation.
Seeing this, Fu Zhi said to Fu Ji: "Father, I didn't recommend you to take over the position of this regent minister. If the prince was not welcomed to Liangzhou at that time, and the father brought Liangzhou to Cao Liang, he would not lose his position as a prefecture and county. But now that my father has supported the prince, and he will be in a good position with Cao Liang, he will definitely be unable to end well."
Fu Zhi had indeed persuaded Fu Ji before, asking him to keep a neutral position as much as possible. Once the situation changes, he can move forward and retreat freely, but Fu Ji did not agree at the time, thinking that with Jiang Wei and Sima Lun in Longxi, it would be impossible for Cao Liang's army to attack Liangzhou, so they were content with Liangzhou, so there was no problem.
What's more, Fu Yu agreed to assist the prince by refusing Guo Huai's request. This matter was not actively and voluntarily. He could actually understand Fu Zhi's complaints, but Fu Yu had not realized that the development of the situation had exceeded his control.
However, in two months, the battle situation in Longxi deteriorated, the Shu army was completely defeated, and the troops were withdrawn back to Shu. After surrendering to Shu, Sima Lun had nowhere to escape. He returned to Shu with Jiang Wei, and all the five counties in Longxi fell into the hands of the Wei army.
In Jincheng County, southeast of Liangzhou, you can already see the cavalry of the Wei army cruising, and the Wei army may attack Liangzhou at any time.
Fu Yu was indeed a little regretful at this time. If Sima Yan was not accepted, he would undoubtedly be the most proactive at this time. Even if the Wei army came to attack, Fu Yu would take the initiative to surrender. According to the Bingzhou Army's consistent policy, Fu Yu would at least not be lower than his current official position after surrender and could still hold a firm position as governor.
But now that he assisted Sima Yan, he would inevitably become a thorn in Cao Liang's eyes and a thorn in his flesh. Even if he surrenders in the city, it is still unknown whether he can be forgiven. Therefore, this has become a special entanglement for Fu Yu, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Fu Yu sighed lightly and said, "Being a father also regrets not listening to your words at the beginning. Now it is a dilemma. Alas, one step is wrong, and it is hard to go back a hundred steps."
Fu Zhi said: "Don't worry about this father. When the child was in Luoyang in his early years, he had some friendship with Yang Hu and Uncle Guan. Now Uncle Yang is not only the central commander-in-chief of the General of Guard, but also a royal relative. He has a high position and power. This time, we may be pardoned by Yang Uncle Yang's back door, so my father will not need to be so anxious."
When Fu Yu heard this, he thought it was good. What he lacked the most now was those who could get online with Cao Liang. As long as someone begs for him and pardons him from Cao Liang's side, Fu Yu would be willing to offer the land of Liangzhou and surrender to Wei.
Strictly speaking, it is not considered surrender. Fu Yu was a regular Wei minister before. Even when he was the governor of Liangzhou, he took office in the name of Wei. However, later Sima Zhao usurped Wei and renamed the country to Jin, so they were forced to change their banner.
Sima Zhao was already dead at this moment, and Jin State was already dead in name only. It was natural for Fu Yu to return to Wei State at this time. As long as he could get Cao Liang's understanding and forgiveness, even if Fu Yu was allowed to retire and return home, Fu Yu would be willing to do so.
Since Fu Zhi knew Yang Hu and had a certain friendship, Yang Hu was a celebrity around Cao Liang at this time. As long as he climbed into his own, the entire Fu family would be saved.
So Fu Ji and his son discussed it and secretly sent a confidant to leave Guzang and secretly went to Longxi to meet Yang Hu. Fu Zhi also specially compiled a letter and asked the messenger to hide the letter. This matter could not be known to Sima Yan's people in any case.
The messenger left Guzang at night. This was Fu Ji's territory, and the person guarding the city gate was also Fu Ji's people. So when the gods knew it, the messenger left Guzang City and hurried to Yuzhong. As long as he passed Jincheng County, he could enter Longxi.
However, when we arrived in Yuzhong, something went wrong. Since the Wei army occupied Longxi, the prefect of Jincheng, Guo Yi, was very nervous and ordered the blockade of the Yellow River Ferry to prevent the Wei army from entering Jincheng. At the same time, they strengthened the defense and patrol along the Yellow River and actively prepared for the war.
This time, Fu Yu shot himself in the foot. He appointed Guo Yi as the prefect of Jincheng. His initial consideration was to divide the power of the Guo family so that they could not pose a threat to him. After all, Guo Tong and Guo Yi and others were one from all directions, and the farthest ones were thousands of miles away from each other. Even if they wanted to communicate with each other, they could not communicate. Such a long distance was enough to limit their communication.
But Fu Yu probably never expected that after Hu Yi became the prefect of Jincheng, he became his biggest obstacle. Fu Yu wanted to send a letter to Longxi, but was blocked by the checkpoints set up by Hu Yi, and there was no way to pass. If Fu Yu got this news, he would be so angry that he should vomit blood.
