After the meeting ended that night, Xu Yan was left behind by Cui Zhang, and the rest of the people needed to digest it well because of the amount of information, but Xu Yan didn't need it, and Cui Zhang naturally didn't need it, so this head of the family and a retainer started a dialogue, that's right, the head of the family and the retainers, Xu Yan is Cui Zhang's retainer, and even his wife is a girl with the fifth surname that Cui Zhang begged, although she is a concubine, but this is unique in the tentacle family.

Therefore, Cui Zhang attaches great importance to Xu Yan, Xu Yan is very sensitive to business touch, and can often give Cui Zhang some very unique help, so since five years ago, the business activities of the Cui family have basically been presided over by Xu Yan, and the reason why Xu Yan went to the Western Turks to listen to the news was also assigned by Cui Zhang.

That's why the information Xu Yan got was so important, and he didn't go over six months ago, just a month ago, the reason why he wanted to tell what he saw and heard at this gathering was also Cui Zhang's instructions, Cui Zhang himself was very frightened, and also realized that a Cui family could not be the opponent of the Western Turkic merchant group, and only by uniting the five surnames and seven wangs together could the Western Turkic merchant group be crushed with huge financial resources, after all, there were too many differences.

Originally, he controlled the foreign trade of the east and the north, even if he couldn't fight the Western Turkic merchant group, but it was enough to crush the Western Turkic merchant group, but once these foreign trade were lost, the capital of the Shandong family would shrink sharply, and the blow under Li Er's majesty was mainly reflected in political rights and economic interests. The economic blow is even more obvious, so this plan cannot be delayed.

But the effect of proposing this in the talks of the big family is not obvious, and only when it is raised at the big gathering of all the families who have been on the stage, can it have the best effect, and therefore, there is today's play, Xu Yan perfectly interprets a heroic role who is worried about the future of the family, which has resonated with many people, and for this reason, several families have said that they will seriously consider it. Give a reply as soon as possible.

The largest of the families. There are Boling Cui clan, Qinghe Cui clan, Fanyang Lu clan, Longxi Li clan, Zhaojun Li clan, Xingyang Zheng clan, Taiyuan Wang clan, except for the Longxi Li family, which was shamelessly regarded as the own family by Li Erma, and because it was located in Longxi, it was inconvenient to unite with other big families, and the remaining six families all participated in the alliance. Zhao Jun Li's posture is more ambiguous. Because they also have the surname Lee. It is also the same clan as the Li clan in Longxi, so the position on the treatment of His Majesty Li Er is not very clear.

They believe that this matter cannot be decided blindly, once decided. There is no way back, once they fail, they will lose the opportunity to fight the most after the first game, so just in case, they are willing to unite with the Li clan in Longxi, and use the strength of the two counties of the Li clan to support a base camp for other families, enter and attack, retreat can protect themselves, and the Taiyuan Wang clan also because they have cooperated with Li Tang, and see the current Li Tang thriving situation, they are very hesitant to launch a decisive blow to the death of the Shi clan, and there are endless arguments within the family, and the head of this generation is also an indecisive character. So there has been no response, and after the last day, he simply closed the door and thanked the guests, and no one was seen.

In fact, the Li family of Zhaojun and the Li family of Longxi have also noticed the abnormal development trend of the Tang Dynasty, which is also too strong, developing towards a track that they can't predict, in case it is not good, they will die very miserably, they are also surnamed Li, and the Li Tang royal family is also surnamed Li, for their own identity, it is impossible for the Li Tang royal family to abolish the two Li families, once something happens, the Li family can also protect themselves, but it is inevitable to start secretly.

Considering their own safety, the three wangs in the five surnames and seven wangs said that they did not support the movement, and intended to maintain an attitude of self-preservation, in this regard, the other four wangs were also difficult to force, three to four, and it was not clear to say, provoking the Li family in Longxi to occupy the time and place, and the Li Tang royal family would be over, if you don't participate, you won't participate, everyone is also a grasshopper on a rope, and it is necessary to leave a back road, in case it fails...... No, it won't fail!

The result of the conference was that the four major families of the Boling Cui clan, the Qinghe Cui clan, the Xingyang Zheng clan, and the Fanyang Lu clan united their own forces to form an unprecedentedly powerful alliance, preparing to form a joint caravan, elect a talented merchant to lead it, go to the north to negotiate with those barbarians again, and then start the final showdown with the Western Turkic merchant group, and must defeat them and regain the trade route!

However, there was a split before it began, and the seven families together may have the strong financial resources to defeat the Western Turkic caravan, but the four families, it is really not necessarily, with the full support of His Majesty Li Er, the full support of the major generals, and the full support of all vested interests, the duel between the four big families and dozens of small families, who wins and who loses? In fact, after Suning burned down the Xiong family, the awe of the five surnames and seven hopes in the hearts of many families has disappeared unconsciously, and the unshakable position seems to have disappeared because of this fire.

For this small change in the heart, the Shandong family obviously did not take into account, in fact, the royal side did not notice it, but the views in their hearts about the unshakable status of the five surnames and seven hopes have begun to waver, and even more are not afraid of them at all, Suning's fire is a pioneer, leading countless madmen and warriors with rebellious genes engraved in their bones to overthrow the situation of the family's dominance of politics.

Shandong is not what it used to be, Zuo Xiaowei this big Buddha is stationed here, 13,000 strong troops shocked all the family, Wei Chi Gong watched every move of the family here, each Daozhou county began to establish a large number of military governments, for recruitment, the military force reasonable infiltration into these places that originally could not see the army, Wei Chi Gong felt, since it is a conscription, then some spies are needed to see if there is anyone hiding the strong man, In that case, it's okay to send some spies in to find out some other information.

The professionals under Li Er's majesty began to collect information extensively, so these movements of several major families could not be concealed from Wei Chigong at all, which was a very abnormal situation that made Wei Chigong quite depressed and puzzled, but he looked honest and not stupid in his heart. After noticing this abnormal behavior, he couldn't guess it himself, but Li Er's majesty must be able to guess something, so he passed the information to Chang'an overnight, and Li Er's majesty learned the news as soon as possible.

Well, the major families have unknown movements, many people come and go as if they are discussing something, and the large number of chariots and horses seems to indicate that these families will have different actions, which is still unseen, could it be that the Western Turkic merchant group cut off their financial routes. So they felt the crisis. Want to join forces to do the best last? Quite possibly!

His Majesty Li Erlu summoned Du Ruhui overnight, and now Du Ruhui has completely borne all the non-military operations of the Tang Dynasty, and the military operations are under the management of the General Staff Headquarters, and the non-military operations mainly rely on the Vertical and Horizontal Division. The Zongheng Division is currently presided over by Du Ruhui. After Du Ruhui carefully studied the strange book "Guiguzi". I have benefited a lot, and my style of acting has suddenly become more decisive than before, with a hint of ruthlessness. Let His Majesty Li Er appreciate it very much.

In the past, Du Ruhui was good at making decisions, but he was always a little tolerant, after learning "Guiguzi", Du Ruhui's momentum changed, so after reading this information, Du Ruhui touched his beard, thought deeply, and showed a smile that was really like this: "Your Majesty, sure enough, after the Western Turkic merchant group made a move on Xue Yantuo and the Tiele people, Shandong began to be unable to bear it, and a large part of their financial resources were obtained by doing business with the northern barbarians, and the methods used were roughly the same as those of the Western Turkic merchant group."

It's just that Sanming's approach is more clever, so in a short period of time, the Western Turkic merchant group has accumulated a considerable amount of money, and he did not hide it from His Majesty, after the caravan of the minister's family entered the Western Turks, it also obtained a very large amount of money, which the minister did not want to hide, the minister really couldn't imagine that there could be such a big profit, and the minister's family was still so small, so as to obtain such a big profit, and the scale of the Western Turkic caravan was huge, more than the scale of the minister's family was thousands of times?

Therefore, the financial resources of the Western Turk caravan are quite considerable, although the financial resources of the five surnames and seven wangs are terrible, but their consumption is also amazing, once they lose the caravan in the north, their remaining finances are not enough to support them to continue to live their previous life, which is difficult for them to accept, so they will definitely try their best to recapture the caravan, in this way, their actions should be to prepare to unite the financial resources of the major families to fight against the Western Turkic caravan, and want to defeat the Western Turkic caravan in one fell swoop. ”

Du Ruhui said quite confidently, and Li Er nodded approvingly: "Aiqing's knowledge is getting more and more profound, and I have to rely on Aiqing a lot!" ”

Du Ruhui bowed and said: "Your Majesty is falsely praised, this is thanks to Sanming, if it were not for him, I am afraid that the minister would be a dry bone in the grave now." ”

Li Er nodded and said: "That kid has indeed played a great role, but now is really not suitable for releasing him at this time, why, Aiqing alone is not sure to deal with the counterattack of the Shandong family?" ”

Du Ruhui said: "After all, the minister is not a vertical and horizontal family, the understanding of these things is not very comprehensive, and the huge financial resources of the Shandong family are still very terrible, although the financial resources earned by the Western Turkic caravan are abundant, but after all, the background is insufficient, if it is really head-to-head, it is really not necessarily who will die, for this old minister is not too sure, if he is replaced by Sanming to join forces with the old minister, the old minister is sure that at least it will not be lost, a year ago when he discussed with the old minister how to deal with the Shandong family, I have proposed that if the Shandong family unites to fight with us, it will be very troublesome. ”

Li Er said: "This kid's vision is indeed beyond the long-term of ordinary people, so did he have any way to deal with this matter at that time?" ”

Du Ruhui shook his head: "At that time, he hadn't proposed it, and at that time we didn't know that Lu Dao was going to face this situation so soon, so he didn't put it forward, but since he thought of it, there must be a way, so, Your Majesty, Lao Chen hopes that Your Majesty can let Sanming come out, and deal with the Shandong family with Lao Chen, it's a big deal to win and then then be grounded, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you win, Shandong Shijia will be out of breath for ten or eight years, so our advantage will be too great!" ”

Li Erxia shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Alas, it's okay, it's a special period, then forget it, I'll let him out for the time being, you go to him, take him to the Zongheng Division and watch it carefully, don't let everyone know that he doesn't need to be grounded anymore, this kid's tricks are very bad, don't let him put it on the bright side, if he puts it on the bright side, he will only be left to shout and shout and kill." ”

Du Ruhan said with a smile: "Sanming has a bad stomach, it is possible to put any stumbling blocks on the Shandong family, but it is these stumbling blocks that can bring us huge benefits, Your Majesty, if we win this time, the big thing can be done, and the Shandong family will no longer be able to compete with Datang, and it will be a matter of time before these potential forces are eradicated."
