"That's what he said, but that thief…"
Although some of the scions of the aristocratic families stood up to speak, there were still many people who were very worried.
Moreover, unlike these aristocratic families, some wealthy families did not dare to pay with their lives.
The aristocratic families were the most severely suppressed. Although these rich families also had various restrictions, when they thought of the consequences of failure, these rich families naturally did not dare to do so.
If he succeeded, there wouldn't be many benefits, and the changes wouldn't be too great.
But if he failed, then…
Thinking of those factory guards who were like wolves and tigers, these rich people undoubtedly knew what they were doing.
If they risked their lives to fight, the ones who benefited the most were the great clans, while the rich and powerful families clearly didn't benefit much.
It was the same as before, and it was the same after that.
As for Su Mu, although there were many restrictions, the wealthy and powerful families would undoubtedly shrink back when they thought of the consequences of failure.
Of course, some shrewd rich people already knew what to do.
During the meeting, they waved flags and shouted.
After that, he quickly informed the factory guards to give the most detailed report.
As for the despots, they were neither up nor down. They were unwilling and very afraid, so they were sandwiched in the middle. It was unknown whether they should rush or not.
If the aristocratic families were confident enough, they wouldn't mind helping. But if they weren't confident, they would have to wait and see.
Anyway, I won't do anything like reporting the news, but do you want me to contribute?
You have to be confident enough to convince me.
In short, this meeting was held, but it was actually useless.
Basically, after every meeting, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, East and West Chambers would receive the most detailed information as soon as possible.
……
Prefecture Overseer Manor…Oh, no, it was changed to Su Manor now.
Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian were both present, reporting their work seriously.
As for Yuwen Feng, he had already led a large army to Jizhou and Youzhou to investigate the movements of the Imperial Court's army.
"Master, some of the aristocratic families, tycoons, and rich families in the city have organized many such meetings. Not only these people have participated, but also some martial artists.”
"Among them, the Wan family, the Xu family, and so on are all big families in Liaoyang City. They have close ties with the main family in the Central Plains and can be considered branches.”
With the in-depth investigation of the factory guards, Su Mu finally understood the horror of the aristocratic families. He had to sigh,"These great clans are deeply intertwined. It's truly shocking!”
He had thought that he understood, but who would have thought that it was just the tip of the iceberg.
No wonder there were only thousand-year-old aristocratic families and no thousand-year-old dynasties.
Hehe, it did make sense.
Of course, no matter what kind of family you were, you would still be crushed under absolute power.
However, the great clans in Liaoyang City were not a concern, but in the Central Plains and the south, where the great clans were the most powerful, it was difficult.
There were probably many hidden experts in these places. He could rely on the army to deter them, but to eliminate them?
There had to be more experts. Otherwise, it would not be easy.
One had to know that this was the Integrated Martial Arts World. These aristocratic families must have sufficient strength. Otherwise, how could they survive?
If they thought that they would be safe once the army arrived, then it was not impossible for them to fail.
It was necessary for the army to encircle and annihilate them, but there must also be a martial arts expert guarding them. Otherwise, how could they be foolproof?
The aristocratic families in Liaoyang City were not a threat. Even if there were some powerful martial arts experts, their strength would definitely not be too high.
At most, they would be at the Higher Heaven Realm. Therefore, Su Mu believed that it was not difficult to deal with the aristocratic families in Xuanzhou. However, it was difficult to say if it was in the Central Plains or the South.
Of course, thinking about this now is still too far-fetched. I've only occupied one prefecture now. Even if I take Youzhou and Jizhou in the future, it'll only be three prefectures.
Therefore, Su Mu felt that there was no problem in considering it, but there was no need to think too much.
"Master, please rest assured that we will be the sharpest knife in your hands. As long as you give the order, we will definitely sweep away all obstacles for you.”
Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian were both smart people and were loyal to Su Mu. Naturally, they knew what to do and said without hesitation.
"Alright, I know your loyalty. There's no need to say anything more.”
Su Mu knew that these people were loyal, so he wasn't worried.
Of course, he had to deal with the families in the city who had ulterior motives. In other words, he had to help them fulfill their loyalty.
Thinking of this, Su Mu instructed,""Yes, these guys are useless now. Basically, we can't get anything out of them. According to Yuwen Feng's secret report, the movements of the imperial court's army can basically be confirmed. They will send troops from Jizhou, enter the Valley of the Wind, pass through Chentang Pass, and attack Xuanzhou.”
"My Lord, is the Imperial Court that confident?”Yu Huatian was undoubtedly curious. He thought about how confident the Great Xia Dynasty was, so he asked in a low voice.
Su Mu smiled when he heard this and said lightly,"150,000 troops is not a small number. Moreover, the Great Xia Dynasty did not take us seriously, so they did not say that they would consider a more rigorous battle plan.”
Why was it like this?
Because the Great Xia Dynasty did not take it seriously.
They thought that once the 150,000 soldiers arrived, everything would be settled.
Cao Zhengchun started to flatter Su Mu, praising his skills.
"My Lord, you've sealed off the news, and most of the spies in the Martial Virtue Bureau have been eliminated. The Great Xia Dynasty can't get any accurate information. Although these aristocratic families have the intention to contact us, they are all under our strict control. The information they give is filtered, so those people naturally don't know the specific situation.”
Although Cao Zhengchun's flattery was not bad, Su Mu did not become arrogant because of it. Instead, he maintained his rational mind.
"Intelligence is very important. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will lead to victory. However, they know nothing about us, and we know them very well. Therefore, in this battle, we definitely have the advantage in strength.”
Su Mu believed that intelligence work was very important. Although Great Xia did not pay much attention to it, that was because they did not understand it. If the Martial Virtue Bureau heard any news, the situation would be different.
Therefore, considering this point, Su Mu emphasized,""Of course, the premise is that…you have to clean up the new spies from the Martial Virtue Bureau.”
Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian said confidently,"Don't worry, Master. The East and West Chambers have already set up a tight surveillance. No one can escape our surveillance.”
