Although the rebellion was big, it did not affect the stability of Hebei, because everyone knew that neither the ministers of Guanlong, the Shandong family, nor the elders of the Sui Dynasty were necessary on the political stage of the new dynasty. As long as Fengzhou's line is not in chaos, everyone else will be a supporting role and cannot change the world.
However, the sequelae of this incident are still becoming apparent. At least in the Guanzhong area, chaos has begun in some places.
Before the Sui army entered Guanzhong, many people including Dou Kang, Li Youliang and others surrendered one after another. When it comes to settling things down afterwards, it's easy for the civilian officials to handle it, but it's not so easy for the generals leading the troops.
If these people are included in the field army, it will affect the combat effectiveness and the stability of the army; if they are included in the local army, it is equivalent to giving these people the opportunity to control local power. So Huang Mingyuan later ordered the guards in Guanzhong to replenish some, local counties and counties transferred some, and cleared out some of the old, weak, sick and disabled. The remaining surrendered troops and attached troops, about 40,000, were designated by Huang Mingyuan as the Eighteenth Army. As an auxiliary force, it is directly under the command of Chang'an Xingtai.
Among the Eighteenth Army, Dou Gui, Li Youliang, Bing Can, and Yang Tun were the deputy general managers respectively. Changsun Anye, Dou Xi, Yuan Lu, Zhai Changsun, Liang Hulang, Wu Shizheng, Dugu Dayi, Dou Dan, Lu Shaozong, Fourteen people, Wang Changxie, Shi Wanbao, Helou Shanji, Yang Ji and Zhang You, were all Zhonglang generals.
Forty thousand people were divided into eighteen armies, with each army ranging from two to three thousand to more than a thousand.
This was also deliberately arranged by Huang Mingyuan so that everyone would not be subordinate to each other and would check and balance each other. Otherwise, no matter who hands the more than 40,000 surrendered troops, it will not be safe.
At this time, among the eighteen armies, Bingcan was stationed in Anding County, Changsun Anye, Zhai Changsun, Dugu Dayi, Dou Dan, and Shi Wanbao were stationed in Tianshui County and Hanyang, and the rest of the armies were stationed in Guanzhong.
Huang Mingliao knew the news about Dou Kang's rebellion much earlier than others, but his brother strictly ordered him not to move. The entire Guanzhong, except Chencang and Tongguan cannot be lost, even Chang'an can be given up.
The murder of Dou Kang is both a challenge and an opportunity.
An opportunity to test the loyalty of Guanlong forces, an opportunity to test the availability of countless generals and troops in Guanzhong.

After the news about Dou Kang's death during the rebellion reached Chang'an, Huang Mingliao immediately met Dou Deming, who served as a doctor in the household department in Xingtai.
Dou Deming was shocked when he heard this.
However, Huang Mingliao did not question him, but comforted him with good words. He even said, "Dou Kang's crime is the crime of his family and has nothing to do with the Dou family." He also asked Dou Deming to go to Lantian to dissuade Dou Xi who was stationed there. .
Huang Mingliao's actions really moved Dou Deming, and made Dou Deming shed tears and kowtow in excitement.
Of course, Huang Mingliao didn't really trust Dou Deming completely. The reason why he put in all this effort was because he felt that Dou Deming was smart and astute, and he came from a wealthy family. He had intricate relationships with the rest of the Guanlong family, so he was a person who could break the situation.
No matter what time or dynasty a place is governed, it is impossible to do without the support of local people. The Sui Dynasty could not completely trust the people in Guanzhong, nor could they gain their trust. However, they could introduce a few "horse bones"-style characters to show off their points.
In fact, Dou Deming was not completely loyal to the Sui Dynasty. Children of aristocratic families like them had been educated since childhood to live and die for the benefit of the family. It was difficult for them to be completely loyal to a monarch.
The reason why Dou Deming spared no effort to support the surrender to the Sui Dynasty was because he believed that Huang Mingyuan would gain the world, and he did so to preserve the family; at the same time, he also wanted to compete for power within the family. 强牺 baolaixsw.com 读牺
Dou Deming saw clearly that times had changed, and what Dou Kang and the others were pursuing were all old almanacs, which were of no use. The general trend has been decided, and clinging to those old views is going against nature. Now we have to spare no effort to climb up and take root here in Wei Gong, so that the Dou family can have a chance to make a comeback.
After leaving Xingtai Mansion, Dou Deming went straight to Lantian County. He knew very well that Dou Gui and Dou Dan had no hope. When the news of Dou Kang's rebellion and death came out, the two of them would definitely rebel, and no one could stop them. He was afraid that Dou Xi would also rebel, and the Dou family would be completely destroyed.
Since the Dou family surrendered, the Dou family army was divided into three, stationed in Lantian, Jicheng, and Xinping. One is in the north, one is in the west, and one is in the east, far away from each other.
As the Zhonglang general, Dou Xi was stationed in Lantian, which was considered an important position.
The Dou tribes have actually split. Dou Xi, who surrendered first with Dou Deming, angered Dou Kang and almost broke up with Dou Kang. However, after all, their surname was Dou, and they hugged each other to keep warm, so they didn't break up yet.
Seeing Dou Xi, Dou Deming informed him of the news he got from Huang Mingliao.
Dou Xi was also shocked. After all, Dou Kang was the leader of the Dou family. Every move he made represented the Dou family and was also related to the Dou family's safety.
Dou Deming also went straight to the point and asked directly: "Tenth uncle Mingjian, because of the death of the fifth uncle, the eighth uncle and the sixteenth uncle will inevitably start an army. Where will the tenth uncle go?"
Dou Xi was a little embarrassed, should he join in the rebellion?
Dou Xi did not want to send troops. Over the past year, he had been in Lantian, close to Chang'an, and had fully seen the power of the Sui army. The entire Dou family can't raise an army of ten thousand, and they are scattered, so what's the use? As for asking all the families to unite to respond, it is even more unrealistic. A snake cannot survive without a head. Once Dou Kang dies, it is empty talk to talk about uniting all the families.
"Besides, no one is stupid, so why should we follow the Dou family?
Dou Xi hesitated for a long time and then said: "Deming, you and I are both surnamed Dou. In the eyes of outsiders, we are all mentioned the same as Dou Kang. To this day, if I don't rebel, won't I wait to die?"
Dou Deming smiled and said: "Tenth uncle, the Dou family is not a Dou family. Do everyone in the world named Dou have to die with Dou Kang and the others? Forgive me, Dou Kang and the others do not have the Dou family in their hearts, otherwise how could they dare to ignore it? The Dou family is in danger, and he is good at rebellious things? Dou Kang is the one who brought his own death, so what does it have to do with my tenth uncle? Now that the minister has ordered me to come, isn't his intention clear?"
"Can it be the Dou family?"
"If my tenth uncle rebels, the Dou family will really perish. Does my uncle think that the Dou family can resist the Sui Dynasty?" At this time, ba ola ix sw .com Zhang Si
"But what if Li Yuan returns to Guanzhong?"
Dou Deming laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke.
"Uncle, with the support of the entire Guanlong army, Li Yuan could not defeat the Sui Dynasty. Now he has retreated to Bashu in embarrassment. How can he defeat the Sui Dynasty with just a corner of the country?"
Seeing that Dou Xi was silent, Dou Deming held the other man's hand and said: "A clan is like a big tree, with strong trunks and luxuriant branches. If there are several branches among them that are withered or rotten, they must be removed in time, otherwise they will be endangered. This is the survival of the big tree.
The minister's order said that if my great-uncle is loyal to the Sui Dynasty, he can be the deputy general manager and be given the title of minister of Xingtai, and the Dou family will not be purged.
Chaos is brewing in Guanzhong now, and I don¡¯t know how many aristocratic families will be destroyed by this disaster. Whether the Dou family will be destroyed or taken to the next level depends on the uncle's choice. "Zhi Da, Zhi Xiao"
