The next morning, Cong Yang tidied up his clothes and changed into the court clothes sent by Li Ru yesterday. He was ready to go to court. Today was the day Dong Zhuo promised to confer him the title of Hanzhong Prefecture. Just as he was about to go out to the palace, Dong Zhuo's guard ran to the door." Lord Cong, the Prime Minister has ordered that Lord Cong move to the Prime Minister's Mansion."”the guard said. "Is there a change in the plan?" Cong Yang thought to himself. "Alright, I'll go with you now." Cong Yang said.
After a while, the two of them sat in Cong Yang's carriage and arrived at the Dong residence. After getting off the carriage, Cong Yang tidied up his clothes and was led into the living room by a guard. Dong Zhuo sat directly above the living room, and a group of maids were helping him put on his armor." Zifeng, you're here," Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice. "Yes, Prime Minister, Zifeng is here. I wonder why you summoned me? Aren't you going to court today?”Cong Yang asked in confusion. "There's no need to go. I've already sent someone to the palace to ask for instructions last night. "His Majesty has officially appointed you as the new Governor of Hanzhong. You can take the appointment letter to Hanzhong in two days," Dong Zhuo said very casually. Cong Yang picked up the edict, unable to hide his excitement." Zifeng will not disappoint the Prime Minister and His Majesty. I will govern Hanzhong in an orderly manner and will definitely follow the Prime Minister's lead in the future."”Cong Yang said.
" Good, good, good. Zifeng, I know I didn't choose the wrong person. Don't let me down," Dong Zhuo said. "Alright, there's nothing else. You can take your leave. If I need you in the future, you must come back and help me immediately. Zifeng, I want you and Feng Xian to be my right-hand men.”，"Zifeng obeys and will not let the Prime Minister down.”Cong Yang left after saying that. After leaving Dong Zhuo's residence, Cong Yang's mood became much better. He hummed a song and got into the carriage. They drove happily to the Heavenly Merit Pavilion.
The first thing Cong Yang did when he arrived at Tianying Building was to visit Guo Jia in the first room on the second floor. The only thing that gave him a headache was Guo Jia's illness. He didn't know if Guo Jia had woken up. This time, Cong Yang didn't knock on the door and went straight into the room. The moment he entered, he saw that Guo Jia had woken up, but he still looked weak. "Fengxiao, you're awake?" Cong Yang asked excitedly. "I'm awake. Zifeng, why are you here?”Guo Jia replied.
"I heard from Sword Master Wang that you went to visit Dong Zhuo just now. If I'm not wrong, where did he send you to be an official?”Guo Jia asked. As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jia's expression became serious. Cong Yang looked at Guo Jia and said, Yizhou, Hanzhong Prefecture." "Hanzhong Prefecture?" Guo Jia was stunned. "What's wrong? What's wrong with that?" Cong Yang saw that Guo Jia was stunned and asked in confusion. "Hanzhong's geographical location is very important. To the north is the Qinling Mountains and the Nanping Daba Mountains. The middle is the Hanzhong Basin. This is a treasure land that can be defended and attacked. There is no threat and there is enough room for development. Zifeng, it was good to be the prefect of Hanzhong, but there was a prefect in Hanzhong. "Who is the prefect of Hanzhong?" Cong Yang asked. Guo Jia said," The name of the Hanzhong prefect is Li Lu. He was a local official born and raised in Hanzhong. When the Yellow Turbans rebelled, Li Lu seized power and became the Hanzhong prefect. Since then, he has not listened to the court's orders. Because of the chaos in the Central Plains, coupled with the internal strife in the court, he has no intention of dealing with Li Lu, who is entrenched in Hanzhong. Therefore, Li Lu has always been entrenched in Hanzhong and has divided his territory.
Officer Wang's eyes flashed. He said coldly," It seems that Dong Zhuo has bad intentions. He wants to use this opportunity to test me. If I take over Hanzhong and defeat Li Lu, Hanzhong will naturally belong to Dong Zhuo."
If I was killed by Li Lu, it would only be a loss.
It was just a small pawn. "Watching from the sidelines, is it so easy to watch from the sidelines? Cong Yang laughed coldly. Dong Zhuo's carefree days were over. He would wait until Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and then escape.
Luoyang. At that time, Dong Zhuo wouldn't have the mood to consider Cong Yang.
It was over.
"My lord," Guo Jia continued Cong Yang's words,"Dong Zhuo sent you to Shu for three reasons. " First, move the lord away. Dong will move the lord to Hanzhong and suppress the lord, causing the lord to disappear from the eyes of the people. If the lord is far away from Luoyang, he will not be able to threaten Dong Zhuo. Second, let the lord and Li Lu fight for the position of prefect. When the two tigers fight, Dong Zhuo will sit and reap the benefits. Third, use Su Gu to sharpen the lord and promote the lord as Dong Zhuo's confidant. "These three points are Dong Zhuo's plan. "However, Dong Zhuo is just taking it for granted. The moment my lord entered Hanzhong, he was like a trapped dragon rising into the sky and a dragon entering the sea. From then on, he was no longer threatened by Dong Zhuo. Not only did my lord get rid of his identity as the king of the mountain, but he also became the Hanzhong prefect conferred by the imperial court.”Guo Jia stroked his beard and smiled. A bright smile appeared on his sickly face. "Wait a minute, Feng Xiao, what did you call me?”Cong Yang said excitedly. "My lord? What, you don't want to be my lord?”Guo Jia said. "Who said that? I have to be filial like a rain in a drought.”Cong Yang said. Guo Jia fell from the bed to the ground. Cong Yang was about to take his clothes, but Guo Jia knelt on the ground." Guo Fengxiao greets my lord."”Guo Jia said. "Fengxiao, get up quickly. Your body is still weak. I will definitely cure your illness.”Cong Yang said seriously.
Just like that, Guo Jia, the genius of the Three Kingdoms, became an important force in Cong Yang's invasion of Hanzhong. Cong Yang's new army was able to conquer cities under Guo Jia's leadership.
