Jialan's eyes were like a sharp sword, with murderous aura. His fierce aura made Song Zhengben secretly shocked and even regretful. He realized that he had made a wrong choice. Even though he knew that the people in the northwest were arrogant and domineering, he still hoped that they would rescue You Yuan. It was purely wishful thinking, but at this moment, in addition to asking the people in the northwest, who else could he ask for help?

"Why are you so clear about Li Yangcang?"

Galan's questioning reveals his suspicion of Song Zhengben.

"The Guocang belongs to the Ministry of Revenue. Before the Du branch was changed to the Ministry of Revenue, Ren Gong served as the Minister of the Du branch and inspected Shandong several times under the order. Liyang Cang was a must-visit place. A certain person was accompanied Ren Gong and was of course familiar with Cangcheng."

Song Zhengben's answer was clear.

"Is there a way to attack?"

"The entire Cangcheng is divided into nine storage areas, and although the nine storage areas are each, they share a city gate." Song Zhengben paused for a moment and added, "General, Li Yangcang is actually a mountain, and the difficulty of attacking the mountain is self-evident."

Galan sneered and asked, "Is there a way to get it?"

A strategy to get it smart? Song Zhengben smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "If Ren Gong is here, he can go to the warehouse for inspection with the edict in his hand."

"As long as you enter Cangcheng, you will be able to take down Liyang Cang." Jialan asked, "Where is the edict?"

Song Zhengben looked at Jia Lan and sighed. The meaning was very obvious. If you want to get the edict and enter Cangcheng, you must rescue You Yuan first.

The censor You Yuan, the emperor's edict, can both enter Cangcheng, and neither can be eliminated. However, to rescue You Yuan, you must enter Yang Xuangan's Shangshu. When the war comes, even if You Yuan is rescued, will there be time to rush into Cangcheng? Once the people in the northwest are blocked from Cangcheng and fight with Yang Xuangan's rebels, there will be a disaster of annihilation. At that moment, even if Yang Xuangan is severely injured and hindered Yang Xuangan's rebellion, what's the point?

"Can you know the civil and military officials in Cangcheng?"

"At the end of last year, Your Majesty issued an order that the Minister of Rites Yang Xuangan was in charge of Liyang to supervise the eastern expropriation of grain and grass; Dou Yan, the Minister of the Cang Department, assisted him, and also led the Liyang Cangsi Cang. He was in charge of the affairs of Cangcheng, while the defense of Cangcheng was under the responsibility of Liyang Cangcheng."

Dou Yan, Hebawei and Galan were very unfamiliar with these two people, and their eyes were full of inquiry.

Song Zhengben was quite cheerful and not reserved, so he told him in detail.

Dou Yan came from the Dou family, a large clan of Guanlong Lu.

Guanlong Dou family said that he was the first Dou family in inheriting the Han Dynasty's foreign relatives. The Dou family of the Great Han Dynasty was famous, from Empress Dowager Dou, Dou Ying, Dou Rong to Dou Wu at the end of the Han Dynasty. All of them were famous figures in history. The Dou family of the Great Han Dynasty originated from Qinghe, Hebei, and later moved to Fufeng in Guanzhong, and gradually formed the three major houses of Fufeng, Henan and Qinghe. For example, Dou Jiande came from the Dou family of the Qinghe River.

But today's Guanlong Dou family was actually transformed from the Hedouling clan of the Xianbei tribe. Perhaps in order to show that the blood of the Han people was flowing in their blood, the Dou family told the world that Dou Tong, the son of Dou Zhang, the Great Honglu of the Han Dynasty, was the prefect of Yanmen during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han. He died and fled to the Xiongnu because he avoided the "Dou Wu's difficulties". He became a tribal master and later subordinated to the Xianbei clan and lived in the dynasty for generations. He was also given the surname Hedouling clan. The descendants of the Dou family served in Wei for many generations and all became high-ranking officials.

During the Six Towns Uprising, Dou Chi of Dou family "raised the flag" in Dingzhou, Hebei Province. Later, he joined the leader of the rebel army, Ge Rong. Ge Rong was defeated and turned to Erzhu Rong. Later, he went west from Emperor Xiaowu of Wei to Guanzhong and joined Yuwen Tai's Wuchuan clan.

The three brothers of Dou Chi are two brothers, Dou Shan and Dou Yue. Dou Shan's son is Dou Rongding, and he married the sister of the late emperor, Princess An Chengchang, as his wife. His heir is called Dou Kang. He is the cousin of the current prince. Because he was involved in the rebellion of King Yang Liang of Han, he was dismissed from his post and removed from office. Dou Yue's son is Dou Yi. He married the fifth daughter of Yuwen Tai, Princess Xiangyang, as his wife, and gave birth to a son Dou Xian, and his daughter married Li Yuan, Duke of Tang. Dou Chi has thirteen sons, the most famous of whom is Dou Wei. The Dou family is known for his bravery, but Dou Wei likes to study and is beautiful in writing, but because of his blunt advice, he offended the emperor and returned home.

Dou Yan, who was the Minister of the Civil Affairs Department of the Shangshu Tai, was Dou Kang's eldest son.

Hebawei also comes from the Xianbei clan. He was a descendant of Hebayue, a leader in the early Wuchuan faction, and was one of the core forces of Guanlong Wuchuan faction.

The emperor placed two Xianbei nobles of the Wuchuan faction in Liyangcang and Dugu Zhen, the noble relative of the Wuchuan faction in Wei County. The purpose was obvious at a glance, which was to make the Wuchuan faction and the local faction confrontation, and then to form a restraint on Yang Xuangan.

However, Yang Xuangan still "rebelled" unstoppable. At this moment, whether it is Dugu Zhen in Anyang, Dou Yan and Hebawei in Li Yangcang, they are facing a difficult choice. Should they support or oppose? Dugu Zhen has the conditions to watch coldly and watch the changes, but Dou Yan and Hebawei do not have such conditions. Before Yang Xuangan raises the flag, the two must make a choice.

Since the Dou family ascended the throne, they have been hit by a full blow. In addition to Dou Xian and Dou Qing and other limited children who served as local officials, the rest have basically been dismissed at home. This can be proved that Dou family is a politically conservative and a staunch anti-reformist among the Guanlong nobles. Today, the anti-reformists in the Guanlong nobles’ group include the Wuchuan faction and the local faction. In other words, the Dou family has every reason to support Yang Xuangan’s “rebellion”.

This is the only one of Habawei left. Habawei was the earliest Wuchuan leader, but after their leadership status was replaced by Yuwen Tai and Dugu Xin, Habawei inevitably declined. In order to survive, the declining Habashi must take advantage of its convenient conditions that are getting farther and farther away from the center of power and choose a "neutral" position in this political storm. So if nothing unexpected happens, Habawei is an uncontrollable "variable", and Yang Xuangan must clear this "variable" before raising the flag.

Galan concentrating and focused on Hebawei. In his case, as long as he could "deception" Hebawei opened the gate of Cangcheng and he and the Northwest Wolf brothers could rush in, he would have the opportunity to capture Cangcheng. Under the current circumstances, he did not dare to expect to be sure, but only wanted to seize a glimmer of opportunity.

Xue Deyin remained silent. After Song Zhengben analyzed the possible political stances that Dou and Heba might have taken in this storm, he retorted without hesitation, "Dou will never support Yang Xuangan."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Xue Deyin had no intention of explaining, and did not look at Song Zheng himself, but stared at Chai Shao.

Chai Shao certainly understood Xue Deyin's meaning and hesitated.

Dou Kang was the cousin of the emperor, Li Yuan was the cousin of the emperor, and Dou Kang and Li Yuan were the uncles of the emperor. More importantly, the two tribes were the core forces of the Wuchuan clan. The Wuchuan clan went to division from Yuwen Tai and Dugu Xin, and from Zhou to Sui Dynasty, they split again and again. The Yang clan and Li clan were always connected with the Dugu clan as a relative. The Dou clan first followed the Yuwen clan. When the Yuwen clan declined, he turned to the Dugu clan and helped the Yang clan win the country's fortune. After the founding of the country, he turned to reform and joined forces with the local aristocracy to split, curb and attack the Wuchuan clan. Therefore, the Wuchuan clan was once again "reorganized". In addition to the old Wuchuan clan aristocracy such as the Dugu clan, the Li clan, and the Heba clan, the Dou clan was added.

However, no faction is a solid piece of solid, and has small groups formed based on different interests. For example, the Li family in Longxi planned in advance before the storm started, and joined forces with the Shandong reformists headed by Pei Shiju to do their best to help the emperor quell the rebellion and quell the rebellion, so as to win the emperor's trust to gain benefits for themselves. Dugu Zhen wanted to take advantage of the development of the situation to establish a crown prince to hinder or reverse the reform.

The different pursuits of interest within the Wuchuan faction have caused a new division. So, what are the interests of the Dou family and the Heba family? Who works together with Li Longxi? Who will follow Dugu Zhen closely?

At such a critical moment, Chai Shao resolutely accompanied the people of the Northwest. Although he had the intention of surveillance, he actually fulfilled the original promise of the Li family in Longxi, which in some sense violated Dugu Zhen's wishes. In this game, if Yang Xuangan won, the fate of the Li family in Longxi would not be too good, so Chai Shao had no choice at all.

Now Jialan and the Northwest people must take over Liyang Cang and must be killed and survive. Chai Shao has to help. If Jialan and the Northwest people die in Liyang, will the situation be unfavorable to the emperor? Isn’t it not good for the emperor? The Li family in Longxi is relatively fragile, and once it collapses, it will be bad news for Chai Shao’s family. Therefore, Chai Shao must do his best to help the Northwest people. Li Jiancheng rushed over, completely ignoring the powerful destructive power in the center of the storm. This is also the reason.

Song Zhengben did not see the "split" of the Wuchuan faction because he did not know the "deal" between Li Yuan and Pei Shiju, but Xue Deyin knew, so Xue Deyin made it publicly and forced Chai Shao to make a choice and immediately came up with the answer.

Chai Shao had no choice, but he might not be willing to give the answer, because Chai Shao simply disagrees with the plan of killing the people in the northwest to survive. He still hopes that the people in the northwest will turn around and rush to Linqing clearance to meet with Li Jiancheng, and then face Yang Xuangan with the support of the Dongdu. This strategy has a lot of room for maneuver. The Wuchuan Group can make strategic adjustments according to the development of the situation, so that it will win the initiative. Whether it is Dugu Zhen or the Li family in Longxi, they can "easy", and the conflicts between each other are covered up. Different strategies of the two sides may even "coin", and then form a joint force and achieve each other's goals at the same time, and everyone is happy.

The first thing the people in the Northwest considered was the interests of the emperor and Pei Shiju, so Galan tried every means to control the initiative. In the current situation, the only way to control the initiative is to take down Li Yangcang and penetrate the opponent's key points with one sword, forcing the opponent to adjust his strategy, and then give the emperor's return to the army to quell the rebellion.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chai Shao finally gave Xue Deyin a positive answer, "Perhaps Li Dalang can open the gate of Cangcheng."

Jia Lan frowned. Has Li Jiancheng arrived in the customs clearance now? Will he arrive in Liyang quickly? This is all uncertainty, and the people in the northwest are already close to Liyang City and there is no time left.

"The troops are divided into two groups." After thinking for a while, Jialan said flatly, "Please ask Julu Gong to hurry to Cangcheng to visit Dou Sicang, and a certain army led to his army to storm the Shangshu Shiyuan and rescue Ren Gong."
