"If that's the case, we'll have a much faster start.”
Zhangsun Wuji and Li Jing were both in a state of excitement.
If they could successfully take down Fufeng County, they would be able to quickly turn the situation around and get on the right track.
If they continued according to what they had discussed just now, their development would be much faster.
"My lord, this subordinate suggests that after we start the army, we should not expose the Cao family's identity.”
Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said with a serious expression.
"Yes, I have such plans.”
Cao Feng nodded. If he were to reveal his identity, the Gao Residence and the families that were on good terms with the Cao Family would be implicated.
At that time, even if the Sui army could not do anything to him, they would still attack these people.
Not only would it increase casualties, but it would also weaken his soft power in a certain sense.
Moreover, in the early stages of the uprising, with the Cao family and Cao Feng's reputation, they would not be able to get the support of these people. There was no benefit in revealing their identities.
"Since you don't want to reveal your identity, this subordinate suggests that we discuss this with the Gao Manor and contact some trustworthy families to discuss this matter.”
Li Jing suggested.
Even if he did not consider taking over Daxing City from the inside, he could still ally with the family.
This way, when they attacked Daxing City, they could coordinate with the aristocratic families and easily break through the city.
"If we do this, will our identities be exposed or news leak out?”
Li Cunxiao, who was listening, raised a question.
"Don't worry about that. As long as those people agree, we're all in the same boat.”
Fang Xuanling waved his hand dismissively. This was also the reason why he had made such a suggestion.
"This is feasible. Wuji, I'll leave this to you.”
Cao Feng had such a plan, which could be used to prepare for the future attack on Daxing City.
"Don't worry."
Zhangsun Wuji patted his chest and replied.
The initial discussion was over. Next, he would have to go to the Gao Manor.
Therefore, he did not delay any longer and quickly left the Cao Residence to return to the Gao Residence.
"Wuji, you're back so soon?”
Gao Shilian was surprised to see Fearless return the next day.
Normally, Fearless would have to stay at the Cao Residence for at least two to three days.
"Uncle, I came back mainly to discuss important matters with you on behalf of Lord Cao Feng.”
Zhangsun Wuji said in a low voice.
"Something big?"
Gao Shilian frowned.
However, he still brought Fearless to the study room. Coincidentally, Gao Yi was also inside.
Because the higher-ups had a good relationship with them, there was no need to avoid it.
"What is it?"
Gao Shilian closed the door and asked.
"My brother-in-law Cao Feng wants to raise an army to plan something big.”
Zhangsun Wuji immediately said.
"What?"
Hearing this, Gao Shilian exclaimed. He realized that Feng 'er had changed a lot. She seemed to be more experienced in dealing with people.
Not long ago, he was still considering recommending him for an official position so that he could show off his skills on the official path.
He really did not expect Feng 'er to have such ambitions.
"Phew!"
Gao Shilian quickly regained his composure.
"Is this a joke?"
Gao Xing couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Brother, this is a serious crime. How can I joke around so easily?”
Zhangsun Wuji said solemnly.
"It's actually true!"
Gao Xing secretly swallowed his saliva.
"Wait…"
Gao Shilian wanted to scold Feng 'er for causing trouble, but on second thought, from Feng' er's actions these few days, she did not seem like someone who would be impulsive.
Since he had made a decision, he must have thought it through carefully. Hence, he had to consider what Fearless said.
"With the Cao family's strength, even if we add the Gao family, we might not be able to succeed.”
After a long time, Gao Shilian spoke again.
"Uncle, brother-in-law still has a certain level of strength.”
Zhangsun Wuji continued to speak and told him about the 10,000 cavalry.
"10,000 cavalrymen!"
These words shocked Gao Shilian again. Ten thousand cavalrymen was not a small number.
With this kind of strength, the advantage could be said to be huge, and ordinary factions simply could not have it.
"Alright, I'll contact someone I trust first.”
Gao Shilian finally made up his mind. He was not an ordinary person and could see the general trend of the world.
After Feng 'er's performance and Fearless' words, he felt that the Cao Family was not simple. These were all factors that made the decision.
"Send someone to inform him."
After confirming it, Gao Shilian secretly contacted a few trusted people. In a short while, two carriages arrived at the Gao Manor.
"Squeak…"
Because of the special instructions, the people in the carriage took a secret path and entered the Gao Manor through a side door.
The people who came were Wei Yuancheng and the Yin Shi. They were both people with real power in Daxing City and were relatively trustworthy.
As for Xiao Xi, Gao Shilian did not inform him. After all, he was a relative of the royal family and belonged to the royal family.
If they were planning something big, how would they dare to inform him?
"Brother Gao, why are you being so secretive?”
Wei Yuancheng and the Underworld Master asked bluntly.
"Please sit down first."
Gao Shilian greeted them first.
"Greetings, uncles."
Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Xing bowed.
Seeing that the two juniors were here and were still so domineering, Wei Yuancheng and the Underworld Master were even more puzzled.
"Today, I called you here in such a way. There is indeed something important to discuss.”
Gao Shilian said as he poured the tea.
"Just say it."
With their friendship, there was nothing they could not say. The two of them took the teacups.
"My nephew Cao Feng wants to do something big.”
Without hesitation, Gao Shilian went straight to the point.
"What?!"
As soon as he said this, Wei Yuancheng's hand that was holding the teacup trembled violently.
As for the Underworld Master, he was also shocked, and his expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
"Cao Feng?"
The two of them blurted out subconsciously.
"Not bad."
Gao Shilian replied.
"Are you kidding me? Do the current Cao family have the strength to do so?”
Wei Yuancheng looked displeased and put down the teacup in his hand.
The Underworld Master did not speak for a long time. He did not even touch the cup of hot tea. The atmosphere was a little solemn.
"Uncles, if you were to mess around, how could I invite you here?”
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji said.
After saying that, he revealed his current strength.
At this moment, their expressions became strange.
Wei Yuancheng could not believe it, but the Underworld Master looked relieved.
"No wonder the Cao family could destroy Duan Zhixuan and have so many Li family guards.”
Hearing this, Wei Yuancheng immediately believed him.
"10,000 cavalry is not a small number. It is difficult to guarantee success. We also do not know how strong the Cao family is.”
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Yuancheng's attitude softened a little.
What he meant was that he didn't believe that the Cao Family could successfully raise an army with just 10,000 cavalry.
Since ancient times, there had always been a large number of soldiers.
However, how many people succeeded?
Compared to military strength, ability seemed to be more important.
"Not bad."
Gao Shilian nodded.
It wasn't strange to have scruples. It was human nature. If he agreed without hesitation, it would feel particularly abnormal.
