The most uncertain thing at present is how many Yang Xuangan's accomplices in Hanoi, and how many cities and troops these people have controlled. This time, the journey to Dongdu is more than 500 miles, of which the Hanoi section is more than 400 miles, and it will take four or five days to rush the horse. If you are besieged by the rebel party on the way, it will not only delay the time to rush to Dongdu, but also cause the loss of troops and generals and even the entire army to be wiped out.

Tang Yi patted his chest and promised that his chief, the Hanoi County Governor, was definitely not a member of Yang Xuangan, because the county magistrate came from the Wang family in Taiyuan. Li Jiancheng also swears to ensure that the Heyang Dugu Wu is absolutely reliable. Dugu Wu is from the Dugu family in Guanlong, and is the son of Dugu Luo, the eldest son of Dugu Xin, and is a cousin with the current emperor.

In addition, Tang Yi, Li Jiancheng and others told Jia Lan in a very certain tone that the place in Hanoi is actually the world of the Sima family in Wencheng. From county officials to local army and township leaders, seven or eight out of ten are the relatives of the Sima family, disciples and former officials and vassal nobles. For hundreds of years, no matter which dynasty wants to gain a foothold in Hanoi, it must first win the support of the Sima family; no matter what nobles serve as the head of the Hanoi military and political affairs, the first visit must be the Sima family. With the current situation of the Sima family, the possibility of supporting and participating in Yang Xuangan's rebellion is very small, but it is not ruled out that the possibility of watching coldly and letting Yang Xuangan's accomplices chaotic the situation in Hanoi. Therefore, if you want to ensure the stability of Hanoi, the key lies in whether you can win the support of the Sima family.

Jialan comes from the Sima family, and the Sima family is about to clear customs. The purpose is to welcome Jialan's return.

Everyone's meaning was clear, urging Galan to return to the Sima family immediately and win the full support of the Sima family. In this way, Galan not only greatly increased its strength, but also had a subversive change in his identity and status. Especially in today's critical situation where Yang Xuangan besieged the Dongdu, the importance of the strategic location of the Wencheng Sima family and Hanoi to Luoyang is self-evident. Therefore, when Galan arrived at Dongdu, his strength and weight would definitely make the Dongdu look "side" at Dongdu. Only in this way can he win the attention of King Yang Tong of Yue and the Dongdu's left-behind mansion, gain more rights, and increase his chance of winning the victory of defending Dongdu.

With Jialan's current status, even if he joins forces with Li Jiancheng, even if Dongdu still has his old boss Pei Hongce who trusts him, he is at most an imperial guard who commands 300 cavalry. He can only charge on the battlefield, but has no possibility of participating in decision-making. Whether he can affect or participate in decision-making is not only related to the success or failure of Dongdu Town, but also to the size of the benefits he gained from this storm. (, watch the latest update of this book) If Jialan wants to obtain the greatest benefits and greatest merits, he will inevitably affect or participate in decision-making, and this requires strength, but the strength obtained by Pei Shiju and Xue Shixiong's confidant identities is too far away from the goal.

Jialan finally understood. At this moment, whether it is Liu Xuan, a great scholar from Shandong, Li Jiancheng, a wealthy family in Longxi, or the Sima family in Wencheng, they all need to push themselves to a new "height", a "height" that can influence or participate in the decision-making of Dongdu Town. Only in this way can the interests be maximized and all parties can get the greatest benefits from this storm.

To put it bluntly, I am a "bridge", which is the "bridge" between my several forces and the emperor, just waiting for the emperor to win the victory of this political game, and then the several forces can successfully divide the "trophy", and I also take the "suspended boat" and maximize my own interests.

This is a win-win strategy for all parties. I have no reason to refuse at all, and in fact there is no possibility of rejection.

The only thing that made Galan uneasy was why did Sima determine that he was the blood of Sima? Why should he support himself with all his strength? What is the mystery? What is the secret?

On the banks of the Baigou River, in a temporary military tent, Xue Deyin was sweating profusely and kept shaking the palm-leaf fan in her hand.

Opposite him, there was an old man with a long hair, a young face, an energetic and extraordinary temperament. The old man was from Wencheng, named Sima Tongxian. At the end of Kaihuang, he served as the General Staff of the Tongzhi Sanqi (the fourth rank) of Menxiasheng. Later, he was affected by the case of the prince and was dismissed and returned home.

Sima Tongxian had sharp eyes and was always staring at Xue Deyin, while Xue Deyin looked nervous and hesitant, and the palm-leaf fan shook slowly.

He had already predicted that after Qi Niang arrived in Luoyang, he would definitely take the Xue family's elders and young people to take refuge in Wencheng. Although Jialan promised that the monks could keep the Xue family safe, once the storm was out of control, the monks could not resist at all, which was far less safe than Wencheng. When Qi Niang arrived in Wencheng, she must tell Mrs. Gao about Jialan's affairs. Xue Deyin also expected this, but what he did not expect was that the monks in the northwest intervened. Minggui, the head of the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, sat down to tell Qi Niang about Jialan's life experience, and entrusted Qi Niang to bring the relevant evidence to Wencheng.

Jialan is actually the bloodline of Sima. She is the son of Sima Dalang, and has been under the influence of Dunhuang Shengyan Temple. The head of Shengyan Temple, Monk Huixin, did not tell the secret until his death. The reason for concealing this secret came from destiny. Monk Huixin's master was an elder of the monks in the northwest. He was good at astrology and numerology. According to the elder's will, Monk Huixin told the secret to Mingjia before he passed away. At that time, the monks in the northwest had anticipated the outbreak of the storm. Falin from Chang'an and Mingjia from Luoyang were in disagreements, and the secret revealed by Monk Huixin did not attract Mingjia's attention. It was not until Jialan caused a "storm" in Hebei that Mingjia realized the importance of this secret.

The question now is, does Galan know the secret of his life experience? Will he accept this fact? After Galan came to Hebei to meet Liu Xuan, although he did not oppose Liu Xuan's "momentum" due to the needs of the situation, he did not admit from the Sima family from beginning to end.

Galan's experience is far from comparable to ordinary people, and his understanding and understanding of the world are also very different from that of ordinary people. From his perspective, he may not pursue "kings, princes, generals and ministers". He may be more willing to be a Northwest garrison. Once he recognizes his identity and accepts the surname "Sima", he may not get more than he pays, because he must bear the heavy responsibility of protecting and even revitalizing the "Sima family". He will be pushed to the "top of the storm", his enemies will increase in multiples, and his future will be unbearable.

As for the current situation, once Jialan's surname is confirmed and confirmed, he will become the target of public criticism. The next step is not the question of winning or losing, but how to play political interests. He became a member of the Shandong aristocratic group. All the advantages he had before disappeared. He became a conspirator and would inevitably lose the trust of the emperor. Although on the surface, if Yang Xuangan was defeated and won this game, it would be a win-win situation for all parties, in fact, the biggest loss was Jialan. He might be driven back to the northwest by the emperor and back to Tulunchuan.

"As for someone's understanding of Galan, Galan probably won't..." Xue Deyin saw Sima Tongxian's eyes sharper, and immediately changed her words, "At least, I'm afraid I won't admit it in the near future."

"This matter has spread and he refuses to admit it is unfilial."

The crime of unfilial piety is too great to destroy everything a person has.

Xue Deyin shook his hand repeatedly, signaling Sima Tongxian not to be aggressive, and said slowly if he had something to say, "What does the old lady mean?"

"The old lady called me, but you don't know the intention?"

Xue Deyin sighed secretly.

Sima Tongxian's grandfather was Sima Zhan, who was Sima Ziru's brother and Sima Xiaonan's uncle. Although Sima Ziru's branch was famous for Sima Xiaonan, it was hit as a whole. Therefore, during the Kaihuang period, the Sima Zhan branch supported the Sima family in Wencheng, mainly Sima Tongxian's brothers, such as his eldest brother Sima Tongyou, who was the Huangmen Minister in the late Wuping of Gaoqi and Wuping, and served as the Minister of the Civil Affairs Department in the middle of the Kaihuang period of the Empire.

The old lady asked Sima Tongxian, who was respected in the family, to come forward, obviously to ensure that Jialan returns. Even if you do not recognize your surname, you have to step into the gate of the Sima family under the pressure of the elders and elders. However, the old lady also left room for maneuver. After all, Sima Tongxian is another branch in the family, and if something unexpected happens, it will not be out of control.

"I have a question. Why haven't I sent someone to the northwest for so many years?"

"How to find it? It's so big outside the border, where do you think you should start?" Sima Tongxian sighed, "Besides, over the years, Sima's family has been suppressed, and the old lady and someone are too poor to deal with it. They don't even have the time to take a breath. How can they have the energy to find someone outside the border?"

"Monkey Huixin didn't say it, and Pei Shiju and Xue Shixiong didn't say it. What is the reason?" Xue Deyin asked, "Are it really what Master Mingjia said? Is it the elder's will?"

Sima Tongxian waved his hand hard, "Nothing is important. What's important is that Jialan has now won the emperor's trust, which is the crucial point."

"It is precisely because of this that you must be cautious when recognizing your ancestors." Xue Deyin advised, "If you are not careful, twenty years of hard work will turn into nothing."

Sima Tongxian hesitated for a long time and asked, "What do you mean is that the emperor doesn't know Jialan's surname?"

"It's entirely possible." Xue Deyin said, "Sima is from Shandong after all. Sima is involved in the case of deposing the prince. In the transformation, Sima also has a conservative position. Just imagine, if the emperor knew Jialan's surname, would he still trust and grant him great power?"

Sima Tongxian thought for a moment and shook his head, "Now Sima Dekan is the commander of the First Army of Xiaoguo with General Wu Benlang, and is highly valued by the emperor. What is the explanation?"

Xue Deyin sighed helplessly. He knew that he could not persuade Sima Tongxian. In the face of huge and expected benefits, Sima's family was inflated and would not consider Galan's personal gains and losses. Galan was careful and scheming, and would never put himself on the "top of the storm" at this critical moment, so a conflict was inevitable.
