Chapter 934

~6 min read 1,114 words

It seems that the officials of Great Qin also have many thoughts in private.

As long as these frontier generals can be persuaded, Great Qin will soon be like having its hands and feet cut off.

Its decline is not far off!

"My people went to the Western Regions and adopted a roundabout tactic, starting to develop horse bandits in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, Tokhara, and Persia.

Using these horse bandits to first corrupt and bribe lower-level officials.

Moreover, there are many of our noble family children over there. We have mastered a lot of intelligence, and things are going very smoothly!

In the next step, I plan to let them start subduing the various horse bandits and create a powerful force out of thin air in the Western Regions!"

These words also drew the envy of everyone.

"Good fellow, Old Cui, once this force of yours is established, you'll be turning the tables and pressing down on the rest of us!"

"The Boling Cui family truly retains the style of the number one noble family!"

"Then in the future, won't your Cui family become the local emperor of the Western Regions?"

"If Great Qin knew that the Western Regions they worked so hard to conquer became your Cui family's in the blink of an eye, wouldn't Qin Mu be furious to death?"

Zhangsun Wuji listened to the few people chatting, and his mood also became cheerful.

"It seems that everyone's plans are proceeding quite smoothly. Then I'll talk about mine.

My Zhangsun family has inserted people into the mission that went to Tianzhu.

Currently, we have used some methods to gather all the former powerful figures of the Harsha Empire.

In the next step, we are waiting for an opportunity to sow discord between Yue Yun and Wang Xuance.

As long as these two people start fighting, it will be the time for us to raise an army in Tianzhu.

I believe the winning rate will not be small!"

Zhangsun Wuji was still being conservative.

But the old men of the four great noble families had already heard the hidden meaning.

One was that being able to gather all the powerful figures of the Harsha Empire in such a short time was already terrifying energy.

Furthermore, sowing discord between Yue Yun and Wang Xuance was not something an outsider could do.

It showed that Zhangsun Wuji had already inserted his people into the Great Qin army.

This was also something the four great noble families wanted to do but couldn't!

"As expected of Lord Zhangsun, your methods are truly extraordinary!"

To be honest, Zhangsun Wuji's methods really made the four great noble families envious.

Whether they went to Liaodong or the Western Regions, they were all strangers in a strange land and needed to start from scratch.

But Zhangsun Wuji always seemed to find a way to start from a high point.

The style from the beginning was higher than theirs!

"Lord Zhangsun, do you have any informants in Liaodong? If you are willing to help my Wang family, I am willing to gift you a thousand acres of fertile land!"

Someone started asking for help.

When they were distributing, they specified that each family should go to different places and not interfere with each other. In other words, the interests in Liaodong had nothing to do with Zhangsun Wuji.

Now that they suddenly wanted him to help, why should he?

They could only talk about interests elsewhere.

The Wang family promised to exchange a thousand acres of fertile land for Zhangsun Wuji's help once.

This starting price was given very high!

Zhangsun Wuji smiled.

"Old Wang, how much profit can you have in Liaodong? Offering me such a high price, aren't you afraid your family will lose more than you gain?"

Who knew, Old Wang gave a wicked smile.

"According to normal thinking, my Wang family indeed cannot take advantage of anything.

But if Lord Zhangsun is really willing to put in great effort to help, why shouldn't my Wang family take Liaodong and declare ourselves kings?"

Declare themselves kings!!

The old men of the other major noble families all shook their bodies in unison.

This was crossing the line!

For thousands of years, the reason the four great surnames could stand firm in any dynasty was entirely because they knew how to restrain themselves and absolutely never touched sensitive areas.

For example, carving out land and declaring oneself king was already openly challenging the imperial power!

"Old Wang, you're crazy. Once this precedent is set, it will be impossible for noble families to be like fish in water in every dynasty."

"If you do this, once you fail, your family will surely be wiped out. Have you really thought it through?"

It was no wonder others were suspicious; this was indeed a move that was hard to understand.

Old Wang looked up and laughed wildly, but that laughter was filled with sorrow and grief.

"Do you think noble families can still be like before, letting dynasties rotate while they all occupy high positions in the court?

Look at Great Qin; since Great Qin appeared, many things have changed.

We can't go back!

Now, if we want to survive, we can only fight with all our might!"

These few sentences were filled with a sense of tragedy.

The old men of the other noble families were silent after hearing this.

Indeed, noble families could no longer be the noble families of the past.

Even if Great Qin didn't win in the end, and Great Tang won instead, Li Er couldn't possibly respect the noble families like before anymore.

Li Er had long been poisoned by Great Qin and now almost imitated everything.

Just as Old Wang said, noble families could never go back!

Zhangsun Wuji also had many feelings in his heart.

"Alright, since you, Old Wang, have this ambition, why shouldn't I help you?"

Zhangsun Wuji spoke grandly, but he had no bottom line in his heart.

He had no one in Liaodong!

In other words, he couldn't help the Wang family at all.

But he didn't mind; he planned to take the Wang family's thousand acres of fertile land first. When the time came, he would just find someone to deal with it perfunctorily.

"We assist Great Tang so wholeheartedly, so the world of Great Tang should also have a share for us.

If we all exert force at the same time, making Great Qin unable to cope, our chances of success will be greater!"

The old men of the noble families all understood that they had no way back.

They could only fight to the death!
