Chapter 1008 There Is a Terrible Power Called Network of Relationships

The Taiyang family is a member of a wealthy family. Although it is not as prestigious as the Yuan family and the Yang family, it is still a backbone noble family and is quite famous in Yanzhou.

As for Yangxu, there is a very eye-catching idiom on it: Yangxu hangs fish!

"The sheep hangs over the fish" as an allusion to officials who are honest and refuse to accept bribes! This term continues to this day.

In real history, Yang Xu’s three sons are also very famous figures:

Yang Mi, Yang Xu's eldest son, was the prefect of Jingzhao in Cao Wei of the Three Kingdoms.

Yang Xi, the eldest son of Yang Xu, was the prefect of Shangdang in Cao and Wei in the Three Kingdoms. He married Cai Zhenji, the daughter of Kong Rong and Cai Yong.

Yang Dan, Yang Xu's youngest son, Cao Wei Taichang of the Three Kingdoms, married Xin Xianying.

Among them, Yang Hu's son, Yang Hu, became a famous general in the Western Jin Dynasty. He was given the title of Marquis of Nancheng, and was promoted to the general of the Southern Conquest. He was posthumously awarded to Taifu.

The Yang clan is a relatively famous noble clan in history!

…

"That's right. Yangru is my father. Yangji (the fourth tone) is my neutron." Yangxu stroked his horns and beard and laughed softly. The neutron is the second son.

The Gu Yong in front of him was one of the most outstanding disciples that he often heard Cai Yong talk about.

For Gu Yong, Yang Xu was his senior, the same generation as Cai Yong. Especially when he heard Yang Xu deliberately mentioning Yang Di, Gu Yong knew what he meant.

"It turns out to be Uncle Yangxu! The last disciple Gu Yong and Gu Yuantan paid their respects to my uncle!" Gu Yong immediately saluted. His master was Cai Yong, and it was reasonable to call Yang Xu his uncle.

Gu Yong practiced such etiquette because of his teacher Cai Yong. Cai Yong went to Mount Tai to avoid persecution by eunuchs, and stayed among the Taiyang clan for a while. Moreover, what makes the relationship between the two even more profound is that Yang Xu’s second son Yang Xi married Cai Yong’s eldest daughter Cai Zhenji!

In this way, Yang Di is his senior brother! A son-in-law is also a son!

"I have known Brother Yang Xi for a long time, but we have never met him. It's a pity." Gu Yong said again.

Yang Xi is a very good person. His first wife is the daughter of Kong Rong, a great scholar of the Kong family, and his stepwife is the talented Cai Zhenji! The daughter of the great scholar Kong Rong died young, and Cai Zhenji is currently Yang Xi's wife.

In fact, what Gu Yong didn't know was that his lord Lin Mu had deepened his bond with him!

"My middle son married Zhenji. You, my younger brother, don't have any objections, right? I heard from Bojie that when you were studying under him, you often followed Zhenji!" Yang Xu said softly. He helped Gu Yong and teased.

"Uncle, what are you saying? It's a blessing for senior sister to marry Brother Yang." Gu Yong immediately shook his head like a tinkerer and said with a wry smile.

He followed Zhenji because of the request of the eccentric Cai Zhenji and because of her pressure. He has no love for Cai Zhenji, only brother-sister relationship.

"Haha..." Yang Xu threw his head back and laughed. He had gotten to know Gu Yong through Cai Yong, so he also knew a thing or two about those naive and interesting things, so he teased him.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

With such a smile, the relationship between Yang Xu and Gu Yong took a step forward.

In fact, Yang Xu knew in his heart that this little guy Gu Yong was already involved with the so-called eunuch's lackey Lin Mu.

In fact, he already knew that Cai Yong had placed a heavy bet on Lin Mu!

"Lin Mu... a strange person has actually won the favor of the Cai family and the Xun family. I'm looking forward to seeing you!" Yang Xu thought to himself.

Wang Lang next to him was even more happy when he saw this scene.

"There are two people in Yangzhou, but they are like fish in water!" Wang Lang said with a smile.

He knew the relationship between Yang Xu and Gu Yong, so he moved Cai Yong out as soon as they were introduced. Gu Yong supports him very much and is friendly with him. Therefore, if he wants to have a relationship with the Yang family and continue to have good relations with Yang, then Gu Yong is the key person.

However, what he didn't know was that Yang Xu and Gu Yong were secretly not of the same mind as him at all.

"Mr. Wang Fu, you're so polite!" Gu Yong and Yang Xu both said politely.

Wang Lang was a disciple of former Taiwei Yang Ci, and his status was also very prominent. Although Yang Ci has been dismissed from his post, his authority has not been lost. This is evident from the fact that Wang Lang, a disciple, became the governor of Yangzhou so quickly.

In fact, according to the actual position, the governor is more powerful than the governor. After all, the governor only has supervisory power and no military power. However, because of the decay of the Han Dynasty and the prosperity of the noble clan, the power of the governor has secretly expanded. Therefore, many scholars want to be the governor of a state. After all, there are only thirteen governors in the entire Han Dynasty, and the number of prefects is in three figures.

"Here, let me introduce you again. This is Zhu Hao, the governor of Yuzhang County, the eldest son of General Zhu Jun, the right middle man!" Wang Lang introduced him lukewarmly.

Zhu Hao and Gu Yong were of the same generation. He bowed to Gu Yong and smiled. However, his smile was also a little cold.

When Gu Yong saw this, he didn't take it seriously. He knew why Zhu Hao was like this.

"This is Xu Gui, the governor of Jiujiang County. He is the old governor of Jiujiang County. He has been guarding Jiujiang for His Majesty for more than ten years. He was also the one who recommended General Zhu Jun."

"This is Zhou Shu, the governor of Danyang County..."

"This is Fan Neng, the prefect of Wu County..." Wang Lang introduced the prefects of the Yangzhou Army one by one. In fact, everyone knows these people, but they have never met.

"Everyone, I have called you here today for two purposes. One is the eunuch's minion, General Fubo Lin Mu. He is a stranger and owns a territory. The territory is currently under Yuan Tan's jurisdiction. However, due to Yuan Tan's suppression , Yi Ren Lin Mu has not achieved much development.”

When he heard Wang Lang mention the name Lin Mu, Zhu Hao's face changed slightly, snorted coldly, and said nothing.

A strange gleam flashed deep in the eyes of both Yang Xu and Gu Yong.

As for the other people, they all had different expressions.

Obviously, Zhu Hao has a very good sense of Lin Mu, and he and Lin Mu are from the same camp, because Zhu Jun, to some extent, also relied on the power of eunuchs, and Zhu Jun is loyal. General of the Han Dynasty.

"Later, at the right opportunity, I will remove this person and liquidate the eunuch's minions. I hope everyone will cooperate." Wang Lang said solemnly.

"Lin Mu has made a lot of contributions to the Han Dynasty. He just used the eunuchs for some convenience, and Wang Fujun made him the eunuchs' core minion. Isn't this a little unfair to General Lin Mu?" Zhu Hao! retorted.

Wang Lang heard this and sneered: "General Zhu was deceived by Lin Mu's appearance. This man was greedy and greedy. During the Xu Zhao Rebellion, he took countless spoils and even exploited the gentry and wealthy families in Kuaiji County. Among them, the Xie family of Kuaiji County and Zhong Li’s family has sued this person.”

"Yuantan, the governor of Kuaiji County, knows this best."

"That's right... Captain Zhong Limu of Kuaiji County sued Lin Mu. Unfortunately, this man was too cunning and had eunuchs to interfere, so he couldn't be convicted and allowed to live freely." Gu Yong said forcefully.

"Okay! Lin Mu, a foreigner, has the protection of heaven and earth, and has the power to open up new territories. At present, his power has been suppressed in Dongye County, which can be regarded as solved. If we continue to target too many people, will we let him People are laughing!" Xu Gui, the governor of Jiujiang County, said abruptly.

"Yes! This person is already a fool. We don't need to pay too much attention to him. Mr. Wang Fu is too sensitive." Other county guards also said. Can they use them to cut off the eunuchs' minions?

"Hmph!" Zhu Hao snorted coldly. In fact, this is not the first time he has criticized the governor of Yangzhou like this. He also criticized Liu Yao when he secretly targeted Lin Mu.

"The most important thing for us is to deal with the Yellow Turban Rebellion! It is rumored that Taiping Road has gathered elite soldiers and generals, wearing yellow turbans, to start attacking cities and territories!" Xu Gui said again.

"That's right! The demon Zhang Jiao started an uprising in Jizhou, and all states responded accordingly, and we in Yangzhou are no exception. Zhou Cang, the commander of Taiping Road in Yangzhou, is gathering the believers in Yangzhou to prepare to attack the counties." Speaking of Taiping Road, , Wang Lang had no choice but to put Lin Mu's matter aside for the time being.

"It is rumored that Zhou Cang is gathering three million elite troops, named the Yellow Turban Army. The troops are divided into three groups and are sweeping into Yangzhou!" Wang Lang said in a concentrated voice.

"Three million?! So much!" Yang Xu raised his eyebrows when he heard this number.

Now that Taiping Dao has not yet captured the people, the number of followers alone has reached three million, which shows that its development is booming.

"Everyone, let's put aside our prejudices and fight the hard battle ahead!" Yang Xu said in a condensed voice.

Except for Xu Gui, he is the senior one here.

"According to my plan, first summon the strangers, give them tasks, and test the Yellow Turban Army first! Find out their location, and then formulate countermeasures based on the situation." Zhu Hao suggested.

He is worthy of being a famous general and possesses extraordinary judgment.

"Currently, there are no traces of these three million people?" Yang Xu's face darkened slightly.

Through this, we can see that Yangzhou’s intelligence is too backward!
