 What you want to do is something like this :
    always @(posedge Clk) c <= #1 b;
    always @(posedge Clk) b <= #1 a;

 This code means " evaluate b at posedge of Clk, save this value, and assign
 it to c 1 time later."
 This syntax is also called "non-blocking assignment" (or similar).
 Idem for the second always.
