Chapter 175 The Strong Li Yang Cang

Did You Yuan’s conversation with Yang Xuangan collapse? Is You Yuan’s life threatened?

Of course, the negotiations will not break down. Whether it is Yang Xuangan or You Yuan, even if he has different opinions and contradictory opinions, he will leave enough room for maneuver due to the needs of the situation. The essence of politics is the compromise of interests, and Yang Xuangan is relatively passive in politics, so he will not break up with You Yuan. On the contrary, he will do his best to meet the interests of the Shandong aristocratic group.

The reason why the negotiations are now "changed" is because the Northwest, the disruptor, has become more and more serious and is deliberately destroying the current situation.

The Hebei rebels were unwilling to be a "chess piece" and were even more unwilling to be "sacrificed" in this great game between the aristocratic group, so they planned to take the jaws from the fire and win in chaos, and fight for a bloody road to survival. Fortunately, Galan needed their "help" to hinder Li Yang's rebellion, so the two sides hit it off, so various rebels went to Li Yang to rob the "major" of Li Yangcang.

After Li Yang learned about this move by the Hebei Rebel Army, the results of its "interpretation" were completely different.

Yang Xuangan and his conspiracy believed that these Hebei rebels controlled by the powerful and powerful families in Shandong suddenly gathered in Li Yang. The purpose was very obvious, to threaten Li Yang and force Li Yang to make the greatest concessions in the negotiations, and even possible to seize control of the "storm" and make the "storm" move forward on a trajectory that is in line with the interests of the Shandong people. As for Yang Xuangan and his conspiracy, they became "puppets" of the Shandong people, and if necessary, they would even be abandoned by the Shandong people as a "scapegoat".

Yang Xuangan and his conspiracy were furious because they were about to lure the people in the northwest into Liyang and surrounded and killed them, but the people of Shandong made a hindrance and deliberately obstructed them, and had ulterior motives. Their arrogant and greedy attitude was beyond endurance.

You Yuan's "interpretation" of this situation was even worse. In You Yuan's view, the Guanlong people worked together, and Yang Xuangan and Dugu Zhen used the northwest people as bait to "scam" all the Hebei rebels and hundreds of thousands of hungry people to Liyang, causing the fact that the Guanlong people and Shandong people joined hands to "rebellion". What should I do when Li Yang brought the "big banner" of rebellion to gather around Liyang? Don't say that there is no one to argue, even ten thousand people can't explain it clearly. The Shandong aristocratic group was "passive" and completely lost the conditions for confrontation in the negotiations. They could only let the Guanlong people jammed their necks and do whatever they wanted.

What’s more serious is that it’s fine if this coup wins, but once you lose, the people of Guanlong will be hit, but the people who suffer the biggest losses are Shandong. This is an unquestionable thing. It’s tolerant, but who is intolerable? If you want to rebel, you have to take the Shandong people to take the blame. This is outrageous!

The conflict suddenly became fierce. On the one hand, Yang Xuangan and You Yuan accused each other of being vicious and cunning, and on the other hand, they sent all their troops and made emergency arrangements to reverse the decline. The focus of both sides' reversal of the decline was on the people of the Northwest.

The Northwest People were the "wolf" released by the Emperor and Pei Shiju. The group of wolves rushed around and destroyed the situation they worked hard to build again and again. Although Yang Xuangan knew that the Northwest People had to be killed, now facing the complex situation, he was in a dilemma and could not chop off the knife in his hand because he suspected that You Yuan and the Northwest People had set a trap for him. If they killed the Northwest People, it would likely cause unpredictable consequences.

Under the current situation, killing the people of Northwest will inevitably push the people of Hebei to their opposite. As soon as the banner was raised, Li Yang fell into a melee. All kinds of mutiny strategies were unable to be implemented, and he lost time in vain and was passive. Defeat was nothing more than a matter of time. However, the people of Shandong seized the greatest benefits at the minimum cost. Not only did they successfully damaged the Guanlong noble group, but they also won the trust of the emperor, opening the door for the group to enter the core of the empire's power.

In fact, You Yuan had only this path left. Under the current situation, killing the Northwest people with Yang Xuangan is equivalent to confirming the crime of rebellion, and confirming that the Guanlong people and the Shandong people have joined forces to rebel. Therefore, they must save the Northwest people at all costs. The only way to protect the Northwest people is to adapt to the situation, use Liu Xuan as the "hub", pull the Northwest people and the Hebei rebel army closely together, attack Yang Xuan, and kill the rebellion as quickly as possible. Only in this way, can the Guanlong noble group be killed before the entire Guanlong noble group and the entire Shandong noble group fight bloody battles in Hebei, and quell the rebellion, so as to protect the interests of the Hebei people to the greatest extent and gain the greatest benefit in this short-term storm.

Both sides keenly guessed the countermeasures they wanted to take, so Yang Xuangan did not hesitate and immediately ordered "house arrest" You Yuan, cutting off his contact with the inspectors stationed in Liyang City, so as to give himself a complete solution to win more time.

When You Yuan took his confidants to the Shangshu headquarters of Yang Xuangan, the one who stayed in Liyang City was responsible for the inspection. Song Zhengben noticed that the situation was abnormal and immediately found an excuse. He took all the members of the inspection team out of Liyang City and rushed north to meet the imperial guards. At this time, they remembered the imperial guards Long Guards. One called the police, the other was to rely on the imperial guards to protect their personal safety. The third was to rely on Liu Xuan, a Shandong scholar, to play a role and come up with a comprehensive strategy to fight to the death with the joint forces of the Northwest people and the Hebei rebel army in Liyang.

However, does Galan believe in Song Zhengben?

Jialan did not trust him at all. On the contrary, Jialan had enough reason to suspect that Song Zhengben's trip was to help Yang Xuangan, further strengthen his determination to go south to Liyang, and lure himself into Yang Xuangan's camp in order to kill him, then destroy the morale of the people in the northwest, and completely destroy the Longwei Tong.

Galan has experienced a defeat in Yiwudao. Paoze's tragic death gave him great excitement and made him more like a lonely wolf in the desert. Not only is he in high alert all the time, but he is also full of doubt about what he sees and hears. In his eyes, any stranger is first regarded as an enemy.

After listening to Song Zhengben's story patiently, Galan ignored his analysis and deduction.

The tent was very quiet and the atmosphere was stagnant. Unknown insects on the field were chirping tirelessly, making people more and more irritable.

Chai Shao, Fu Duanyi, northwest wolf such as Xinghe Buyi, Jiang Chengzhi, Lu Long, Ashina Hebao and other imperial guards, as well as Xue Deyin, who was incognito, sat around with a very serious expression.

Where can I go? Li Yang is just a dead land. Go, or not?

In fact, Song Zhengben came up with a suggestion that when Yang Xuangan raised an army and rebelled was already a fait accompli, Jialan could summon the Hebei rebel army, hold high the banner of suppressing the rebellion, launch an attack on Liyang, or occupy important towns such as the capital of Jijun, Acropolis, and confront Liyang. However, he ignored the most important issue, that is, food. Without food, what would Jialan use to summon the Hebei rebel army? What would the Hebei rebel army and hundreds of thousands of hungry people in Hebei use to survive?

Therefore, in the end, Galan's strategy was the most correct, that is, to take down Liyang Cang at all costs. Only by controlling Liyang Cang can Galan summon the Hebei rebel army and hinder Yang Xuangan's rebellion.

Everyone was sweating profusely. Even if they waved their palm-leaf fan, they could not extinguish the depression in their hearts.

Finally, in front of everyone, Jia Lan held the candle in one hand and pushed the map on the table to Song Zhengben with the other, and then "clicked" his fingers on "Li Yangcang".

"If you want to turn the situation around, you can only take down Liyang Cang with lightning speed."

Song Zhengben's face was stiff and speechless for a while. It was understandable to go deep into the tiger's den, but it was impossible to agree with it if he wanted to die.

Liyang Cang is located on the northern foot of Daxie Mountain and is built along the mountain. The entire warehouse city is about 30 miles in a radius of about 30 miles, with 5,000 cellars, each cellar can store more than 10,000 tents of grain, and there are also 300 warehouses, which contain countless materials such as silk and silk. Liyang Cang, Hebei, Heyang Cang, Luoyang, Guanzhong, and Guangtong Cang are all national warehouses, known as the four famous warehouses in the world. After ascending the throne, Xingluo Cang was established east of Luoyang, also known as Luokou Cang, which is the fifth largest national warehouse in the empire.

The importance of the national warehouse to the empire is self-evident, so it is directly under the central government and is strictly guarded. Each national warehouse is actually a strong and important town. Without the emperor's imperial edict, a grain of food cannot be used. Similarly, without the emperor's imperial edict, even military and political officials cannot enter the warehouse, let alone the army.

Taking down Liyang Cang is like a fool.

The garrison troops of the Guocang all come from Guanlong and are rotated regularly. Under normal circumstances, the garrison troops of the Guocang are composed of two regiments of four hundred government troops, and the Yingyang Mansion where the Guocang is located basically has six to eight regiments of internal and external garrison troops. During the war, for example, now the empire's eastward expedition, the importance of the Guocang is particularly prominent, so the garrison troops have increased exponentially. Now the army guarding Liyang Cang has four regiments of troops, and their government troops are all from Guanlong area and are absolutely loyal to the empire.

As the Minister of Rites, one of the central important officials of the empire, Yang Xuangan was responsible for supervising the expropriation of food and grass, but he did not mobilize the power of the army, nor did he directly command the garrison army of the Guocang. Therefore, the key to whether he could directly control the Liyang Cang after raising the flag lies in whether he could control the military chief of the Guocang.

Now Yang Xuangan wants to raise the flag in Liyang, use the grain of Liyang Cang to win the hearts of Shandong people, and recruit Shandong to bravely participate in the righteous act. Then there must be a safe way to control Liyang Cang and be foolproof. At this moment, Jia Lan is going to attack Liyang Cang, wouldn’t it be a tiger’s mouth to seize food? Wouldn’t it be a dead end?

Song Zhengben couldn't directly reject the face of Jialan, but this strategy was too absurd and could not be refuted. So after hesitating, he told Jialan about all aspects of Li Yangcang in detail. In the final analysis, Li Yangcang was Yang Xuangan's, and it was as solid as a god. You have no chance to take it. So hurry up and find another plan.
