Soon, a team of people galloped out of the pass. Jialan and Fu Duanyi walked west and rushed forward. They were more than twenty steps apart and came to the cavalry to stop first. A young man wearing a military captain, a blazing green robe and a black cloak, about twenty-four or five years old, flew off the horse and strode to the meteor. Chai Shao followed closely behind.

Jialan turned his eyes and looked at Fu Duanyi. Fu Duanyi shook his head. Although it was probably the eldest son of Li Jiancheng, Duke Tang Li Yuan, they had never met each other and did not know each other. Jialan waved the whip, and the three of them dismounted at the same time and walked towards each other.

The visitor was indeed Li Jiancheng. In Chai Shao's introduction, Li Jiancheng greeted Jia Lan and others one by one, showing great enthusiasm and modestness. Amidst the cheerful laughter, the noble confidence and outstanding demeanor of the wealthy family were fully displayed, which also showed their unruly and bold personality.

As always, Galan was highly alert, with cold and gloomy eyes. His false smile clearly showed his distrust of Li Jiancheng. Although he did not show a cold look that he would keep others from afar, the lukewarm words were enough to make the other party embarrassed. Li Jiancheng did not care and did not hide his admiration for Galan's almost legendary courageousness, and his words showed excessive closeness to Galan.

Li Jiancheng's first impression of Galan far exceeded his early judgment, and this innate judgment came from his distant memory. At one moment, Galan suddenly became suspicious of his memory. He suddenly had a bad premonition. He thought of the promise he gave to Li Shimin in the Western Land, and that promise came from his distant memory.

"Galan..." An excited scream suddenly sounded in his ear.

Jialan suddenly looked up, and a familiar face came into his eyes. It was a full-body armored body, strong and heroic, nearly thirty years old. Jialan opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and then rushed forward like a flying, "Brother Meng Fu..."

"Garan, don't be fine!"

The two hugged each other tightly and slapped each other hard, very excited.

Li Jiancheng, Chai Shao and Fu Duanyi looked at them, a little surprised. He was even more surprised when he headed west, but he quickly recognized each other.

This person is named Feng Yi. He is the son of Feng Xiaoci, the commander of the Dunhuang base of the Northwest Army. When he was young, he followed Feng Xiaoci to fight on the battlefield and fought on the northwest battlefield for more than ten years. Three years ago, he was ordered to escort the Western Turkic Nijue Chu Luo Khan to the east to Chang'an, so he took this opportunity to transfer to the capital. Jialan protected Xue Shixiong and also protected Feng Xiaoci, because he had fought side by side with his confidants around the commander for many years, and had built a deep sense of charisma with each other.

The brothers had a close word to each other when they met again, so Li Jiancheng did not disturb him. He accompanied Chai Shao to visit Song Zhengben and other bureaucrats of the Central Inspection Team, and then went to see the famous Mr. Liu Xuan.

Feng Yi and Jialan each briefly described the situation after their separation. Feng Yi is now the Yingjilang General of Yingyang Mansion in Yanshi. This trip was ordered by Fengdongdu’s left-behind mansion to escort the Xitu tribute mission to Liyang. The reason for receiving this task was because Feng Yi had fought in the Xitu, could speak Turkic language, and was familiar with Turkic customs. Feng Yi made a special explanation, obviously he had some understanding of Jialan's "mission". In order not to be misunderstood by Jialan or let Jialan make a wrong judgment, Feng Yi clearly told Jialan that he and Li Jiancheng were not from the same camp, and the Feng family of Jingzhao and the Li family of Longxi were not affiliated.

The Feng family of Zhongtu is said to have come from the Ji surname and is a descendant of King Wen of Zhou. His outstanding figure is Feng Ting, the prefect of Shangdang in the Warring States Period. It is precisely because of his decision that directly led to the Changping War. Among the meritorious ministers of Qin Shihuang who unified Zhongtu, there were Prime Minister Feng Quji, Censor Feng Wuze and General Feng Jie. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, there was Feng Tang, the left general Feng Feng Shi, who was spreading the Western Regions in the late Han Dynasty, was his grandson, and both grandchildren were his grandsons. During the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, Feng Ba of Hebei established the Yan State in Liaodong, known in history as Northern Yan, one of the countries. The Wei State of Tuoba changed from tribalism to feudal system and implemented the "Sinicization" strategy, Empress Dowager Feng, the royal family of Northern Yan, was from the Feng family of Northern Yan, and thus became one of the famous families of Central Yan.

During the Three Worlds Period, the Feng family of Shangdang in Jinzhong, the Feng family of Jingzhao in Guanzhong, the Feng family of Yingchuan in Henan, and the Feng family of Jicheng in Hebei were all prominent counties in various places. After the empire was unified, because the Feng family's main hall and main branch county were all in Shandong, when the Shandong aristocratic group was curbed and attacked as a whole, the Feng family quickly declined. Only the Feng family, which belonged to the Guanlong aristocratic group, could still maintain the status of a second- and third-rate aristocratic family.

Jingzhao Feng family is a native Han nobleman of Guanlong. He has common interests with the Wei family, Du family, Su family and other Guanlong Han nobles of the same region, and they will inevitably form alliances to a certain extent. This alliance based on regional interests has led to the formation of regional factions such as Guanzhong, Longyou, Hedong, Heluo and Shandong within the Guanlong noble group, and regional factions have greatly directly affected the formation of political factions.\\9vk.com first release\\\

In terms of political factions, the Feng family of Jingzhao does not belong to the Wuchuan family, and the Li family of Longxi does not belong to the Guanlong local faction. Three years ago, the battle of Yiwudao changed the situation in the northwest. The Western Regions Duwei Mansion, which was in charge of economic, trade and foreign affairs in the northwest, and the Honghua Duwei Mansion, which was in charge of military affairs in the thirteen counties of Longyou, all changed their "masters". Only Feng Xiaoci was still firmly in the position of commander of the Dunhuang base camp of the Northwest Army, and directly formed a restraint on the Honghua Duwei Mansion and the Western Regions Duwei Mansion. This is enough to show that the political faction that Feng family belonged to in the court. In other words, even without the "care" of Pei Shiju and Xue Shixiong, relying solely on Nayan Su Wei in the center, it is enough to ensure that Feng Xiaoci controls half of the Northwest Army.

Why did Su Hexiang's father and brother cross the Silk Road back then? Why could Su Hexiang continue to cross the Silk Road after Su Hexiang's father and brother died? In addition to the support of Lou Guandao's power, the greatest backing was the Emperor's side. For example, local Han nobles in Guanzhong like Feng Xiaoci would definitely provide protection. At the beginning, Jialan tried his best to persuade Su Hexiang to withdraw from Loulan, but in fact he also used the convenient relationship of the Su family to bring all the relevant people into the pass. Later, Feng Xiaoci decisively joined forces with the northwest monks to attack the Taiping Palace, weakening the strength of Lou Guandao in Hexi, which was also based on the regional interests of local Han nobles in Guanzhong.

From this, the Jingzhao Feng family does not have the possibility of a alliance with the Li family in Longxi. The reason why Li Jiancheng and Feng Yi were able to work together to resist Yang Xuangan's attacks before customs clearance was mainly because both sides had the same political stance on opposing Yang Xuangan.

Jialan said a few words, avoiding the important and being light, but Feng Yi did not ask in detail.

Feng Yi knew that his backer was too big. What kind of person was Pei Shiju? What kind of person was Xue Shixiong? Jialan was Pei Shiju's capable general in charge of the Western Land. Xue Shixiong treated him like his own nephew, and he became a legend of the Northwest Wolf. This was certainly related to his outstanding personal ability, but without the protection of Pei Shiju and Xue Shixiong, he would have turned into dust and turned into a real "legend".

Feng Yi's evaluation of Jialan was: This son was never an object in the pool, and one day he would soar into the sky. It was beyond his expectations. Jialan not only really "soar into the sky", but also the opportunity came so quickly and so good. From the Tulunchuan garrison to the imperial guards, from the Western Land to the Central Land, from Dunhuang to Hebei, now in a shocking storm caused by Yang Xuangan, Jialan's past, present and future have actually been designed by some high-ranking people. What awaits him is to stretch out his hand and gently pick the fruits, and all kinds of credit are at your fingertips.

Of course, what I thought was still very different from what I saw in front of me. In Feng Yi's opinion, the possibility of Yang Xuangan's success was still very high, but how the situation would develop in the end was not something that people at his level could see. For example, when Yuchi Jiong, Sima Xiaonan and Wang Qian raised their troops to attack the late emperor, and King Yang Liang of Han raised their troops to attack Jin Shang, his strength was very strong, but the result was shocking. The late emperor and Jin Shang waved their hands while talking and laughing, and within three or two months, the storm of the raging "storm" was eliminated. What was Yang Xuangan's fate this time?

Feng Yi asked Jialan nervously and implicitly.

The Feng family in Jingzhao is limited in power, but fortunately, the Feng family's main force is in the army and has relatively greater ability to resist political risks. But because of this, the Feng family had to carefully deal with various forces and major families. For example, today's Feng Xiaoci, relatively speaking, he got closer to the Xue family in Hedong and Wei family in Hedong, and kept a cautious distance from Duling, Wugong Su family in Hedong, Pei family in Hedong, and Liu family. As for the Wuchuan system, Heluo system, and Shandong system, it is important to "take a team" in politics, especially for places like Feng family in second-rate county, if you are not careful, you will be doomed.

"Brother Meng Fu is calm in the face of danger and is determined to kill." Jialan exclaimed sincerely, "After the customs clearance battle, Brother Meng Fu is right."

Feng Yi remained silent, but a hint of joy flashed through his eyes.

"Maybe, in a few months, Feng Shuai will leave Dunhuang." Jialan added.

Feng Yi could not hide his surprise, his expression changed slightly, and he asked nervously, "The news is accurate?"

Galan looked up at the east and sighed slightly, "Who can Your Majesty trust if the Eastern Expedition fails again?"

Feng Yi guessed a lot from this information revealed by Jia Lan. No matter what the end of Yang Xuangan's mutiny turned out, the second Eastern Expedition would definitely be a "return without success". Although the food supply of the Expeditionary Force was completely cut off in early June, the Expeditionary Force won sufficient time for a timely retreat so as not to repeat the mistake of the last time the entire army was wiped out, it was a foregone conclusion that the Eastern Expedition "losed again".

If the Eastern Expedition fails, someone will take responsibility. This time the responsibility bearer must be the rebel nobles led by Yang Xuangan. Therefore, the emperor will vent all his anger. The civil war may be very fierce, but at this moment, the emperor can trust less and less, so he will inevitably draw the generals of the garrison from the border, and those generals who he thinks are enough to give trust will win more opportunities.

Feng Yi also inferred from this that the mission of Galan's trip.

In the past one or two months, Galan and the imperial guards Longwei have crossed Hebei. They have suppressed the rebellion on both sides of Yongji Canal, and won consecutive battles and were famous. However, the quelling rebellion is fake, and it is true that forced Yang Xuangan to rebel in advance. If Yang Xuangan raised his flag in late summer and early autumn, the army of the Eastern Expedition had been surrounded by Pyongyang and was about to wipe out Goguryeo, the food route was suddenly cut off, and the domestic situation suddenly subverted. The army of the Eastern Expedition would inevitably be in chaos and retreat in panic, and it is very likely to be defeated again. Take a step back, even if the Expedition Army retreated safely, the soldiers were exhausted due to long journeys and continuous battles. In addition, the food and grass were not maintained, and it was difficult for them to travel thousands of miles to fight to the Dongdu to quell the rebellion. Once the best time to suppress the rebellion was missed, the situation would be even more complicated. Who dares to say that the emperor and the Expedition Army would not collapse in a loud and slam?

Galan completed his mission, forcing Yang Xuangan to rebel in early June, giving the emperor more chances of winning in this game.

"When the storm is over, Galan will be the first to be successful," Feng Yi sighed.

Galan shook his hand, "A certain sin is very serious, and he will fall into the Avici Hell after death."

Feng Yi laughed it off, but he didn't know that what Jialan was worried about was the innocent hungry people stranded in Liyang. He could do nothing now and could only pray for God's kindness.

"Galan, next, will you cross the river south or rush to the Eastern Capital?"

"What's the situation in Hanoi? Will anyone raise the flag to respond to Yang Xuangan?"

Feng Yi shook his head, "Galan, the most urgent task is Dongdu. Only by defending Dongdu can we win time and win the final victory."

Jialan smiled and nodded, just as he was about to speak, Feng Yi changed the subject, "Jialan, do you know where Su Hexiang is now?"

“Where?”

Jialan's calm expression made Feng Yi suddenly realize that the questions he had had after seeing Su Hexiang had answers.

"When I was clearing customs, I was on the boat, and I was with the tribute envoys." Feng Yi asked in a low voice, "Jialan, what happened to Loulan? Why did Su Hexiang arrive in the Dongdu? Why did she go to Liyang with the tribute envoys? In addition, her relationship with Li Dalang seems to be very close. It is strange that Su Hexiang is a giant Silk Road businessman and lives in the Peacock River all year round. When did he meet Li Dalang and establish an intimate relationship? Is it because the Li family in Longxi also intends to expand the interests of the Silk Road?"

The Feng family of Jingzhao has made great profits on the Silk Road in recent years. Although it was not secretly operated by Su Hexiang, the two sides often cooperated, so Feng Yi not only met Su Hexiang, but also had a good relationship.

"The situation in the northwest is getting worse and worse, and the Silk Road is full of dangers." Galan also lowered his voice, "The reason why Su Hexiang returned to Dongdu was purely because the situation was forced to do so."

"The situation is bad?" Feng Yi was very surprised. The adults at home had never said it in the letter.

"This matter is a long story, I'll tell you in detail later."

After Li Jiancheng met Song Zhengben and Liu Xuan, he entered the pass with Jia Lan.

This is a necessary procedure during the war. At present, there is not enough trust between each other. Only when the guards in the pass are confirmed to be normal, will Jialan order the army to enter the pass. Now, inside and outside the customs clearance, the most prominent one is Li Jiancheng from the Li family in Longxi, and the highest ranks are Feng Yi and Jialan. Jialan is not only an imperial guard officer, but his special experience makes all the noble bureaucrats believe that he has the privileges and secret missions granted by the emperor. Therefore, he is naturally eye-catching.

Jialan met Tang Yi in the pass. The family background of Tang Yi and the reason why he betrayed Yang Xuangan, Jialan had already learned about Kong Yingda and Xue Deyin, so he was very concerned about this Taiyuan Tang family's son who "turned against the enemy".

Tang Yi's turnaround was mainly due to the overall interests of the Shandong aristocratic group, especially the Taiyuan aristocratic group. For example, Kong Yingda's withdrawal was also based on the same reason, which also proved that the current contradiction between Guanlong and Shandong was irreconcilable. As the same goes, the outbreak of this storm was directly related to the deliberate promotion of the Shandong aristocratic group. The purpose of the Shandong people was to provoke the Guanlong people's killing each other, and then seek greater benefits for the Shandong people, and even directly control the authority of the empire. Of course, for Shandong's third and fourth-class families and local tyrants who have greater demands on interests, they have greater ambitions. They hope to change the world and hope that the Shandong people will establish a new empire.

No one has an accurate prediction on how the situation develops and where history goes. However, according to historical experience, after this storm hits the empire hard, it is very likely to push the empire into a disintegration abyss.

Galan was not sure that the history in his memory would reappear, nor did he want the empire to be defeated, nor did he want to see the tens of millions of innocent people in Middle-earth bear the painful price of the empire's defeat with their fresh lives. Therefore, he is still working hard and doing his best. At least, he must defend the Dongdu and let history advance on the trajectory of memory. Only then can he make contributions, gain greater power, do more things, and then affect the direction of history. Otherwise, all ambitions will be meaningless imaginations.

For this reason, he did not object when Liu Xuan persuaded him to reveal his identity. After seeing Kong Yingda, especially when he learned that Liu Xuan persuaded Kong Yingda to hide under his tent, he succumbed to the survival rules of this aristocratic political politics. He must succumb to, otherwise, he will be ruthlessly strangled by these rules that have existed for hundreds of years.

In a vague way, my father's spirit in heaven, the omnipotent and omnipotent way of heaven seemed to guide me towards the way home. From the rescue of the Xue family by the Qiemo Waterside, there seemed to be a mysterious force in the dark that led me to the source of the secret step by step. However, my surname is really the Sima family? Since I am from the Sima family bloodline, why did my mother hide it until death and my master hide it until death? Even Pei Shiju and Xue Shixiong did not say it, why?

Tang Yi's words and deeds are in a normal manner, neither like Li Jiancheng's style of a great family without any concealment, nor is he like the innate superiority that a prominent family shows in the interactions with bureaucrats from poor families and even civilians. In short, he treats them equally, is humble and polite, and even does not hesitate to praise them.

On that day, Jia Lan and the Northwest Wolf brothers broke out from Yang Xuangan's Shang Xingyuan, covered in blood and shouted all the way, leaving a very deep impression on Tang Yi, and the idea of ​​turning against him was born at that moment. It was obvious that You Yuan's death was full of mystery and mystery. Yang Xuangan had no reason to kill You Yuan. Even if You Yuan wanted to leave Xingyuan, Yang Xuangan would not stop him. On the contrary, Jia Lan had countless reasons to kill You Yuan. Once You Yuan died, Yang Xuangan had no choice. He had to raise the flag without raising the flag, and he had to raise the flag immediately.

The third day of June is not the time for Yang Xuangan to raise the flag, because this is not the best time. Yang Xuangan did not reach a political compromise with Dongdu and Chang'an, nor did he reach a compromise with Shandong aristocratic group in terms of interests. Therefore, Yang Xuangan lost the initiative and lost the initiative in the mutiny. What it means is to imagine.

Tang Yi turned against him decisively, and Kong Yingda also waved his hand. Next, whether in Dongdu, Chang'an, or even in Shandong, many aristocrats who held a swinging position would spend more time observing, waiting and swaying. Once Yang Xuan felt blocked from Dongdu, the situation would deteriorate rapidly and be irreversible.

When Chai Shao first entered the pass to introduce Jia Lan, considering that Tang Yi had already been with the Li family in Longxi, he did not hide it and told him directly about Jia Lan's true identity. Jia Lan's identity can give a reasonable explanation of many questions. Tang Yi is more certain that You Yuan was not dead at the hands of Yang Xuangan, but he did not dare to say that Jia Lan killed You Yuan no matter what, which would be an enemy of the emperor, Pei Shiju and even the entire empire's reformists. He might die more miserably than You Yuan and die even more unclear.

There is a big legend in the northwest wolf in the northwest, and the Golden Wolf Head is an almost terrifying legend. During this period, Jialan and the Northwest Jingqi crossed Hebei, and the stories about the magical gods of the Golden Wolf Head and the Northwest wolf were spreading wildly. Tang Yi heard too much and did not believe it at all. Until he saw the Golden Wolf Head and the Northwest wolf head with his own eyes, until he confirmed the truth about You Yuan's death, he was convinced that Jialan and the Northwest wolf sharps were really as bloody and terrifying as the legend, and the Emperor and Pei Shiju threw them to the center of the storm at a critical moment, which shows how well they prepared and how careful they planned.

Who would be absolutely loyal to the emperor? Who would absolutely obey the emperor's orders? Who would kill Yang Xuangan and You Yuan without hesitation? Only the Northwest Wolf.

Jialan inspected the customs clearance with Feng Yi, Li Jiancheng and Tang Yi. After confirming safety, he ordered the imperial guards to be departed and entered the customs clearance.

When Jiang Chengzhi led the First Brigade into the pass, Jialan, together with Feng Yi and Li Jiancheng, boarded a large ship anchored on the Baigou Canal.

Although the Xitu Tribute Envoy on the ship had long known that the famous Golden Wolf Head would continue to escort them to Liaodong, a few months later, in the unfamiliar heartland of the Middle Land, in a foreign land where people were unfamiliar, they were very excited to see Golden Wolf Head again and rushed up to hug Galan.

In the Western Land, they cursed the Golden Wolf Head, hated the Golden Wolf Head, and feared the Golden Wolf Head, but at this moment, hatred was hidden, leaving only the excitement and happiness of "meeting old friends in a foreign land". The Golden Wolf Head is a warrior from Middle Land. As long as the Golden Wolf Head is there, their lives will be guaranteed.

Jialan comforted her for a few words, then found a reason to tell them that they would change their itinerary and return to the Eastern Capital again. The envoy of the Western Turkic Republic was interested in asking about the reason for the fierce battle in the customs clearance, but considering that Jialan had come and had time, there was no need to hurry at this moment, he hid many questions temporarily.

Li Jiancheng discussed the return of the Eastern Capital with the Western Envoy, and Feng Yi accompanied Jialan to visit Su Hexiang.

There was no one in the cabin, but there was a letter on the desk, which was written to Galan.

Galan opened the letter and read it quickly, and his face turned gloomy.

Feng Yi noticed Jialan's anger and immediately found an excuse to leave, allowing Jialan to meet Su Hexiang alone.
