Transmigrated to become a mountain bandit? Well, it's like returning to my old profession. The mountain stronghold was as poor as could be, so we could only start developing the land to achieve...
The boss's analysis was exactly the same as Xiang Kui's.
"The three parties joining forces will lead to too many conflicts and will be difficult to handle. If anyone tries to sabotage them, they will be completely defeated. This is a very bad strategy and not advisable."
Mo Lan stroked the teaching whip, her eyes slightly narrowed. Supporting only one family would not only be extremely costly, but it would also easily lead to them becoming arrogant. If she supported two families at the same time, allowing them to check and balance each other, they would have to stick together tightly. If their intentions were impure, they would be devoured by the other.
This way, they don't have time to think about it; otherwise, they could just replace them directly.
Thinking of this, Mo Lan put down her notebook. "Han Shuang, if we want to contend with the Song family and have a foothold in Guan County, do you have any ideas?"
Hearing her boss's question, Han Shuang knew that this was a test. Looking at the small notebook on the table, she remembered the advice Xiang Kui had given her, "Boss, the Song family is the only dominant family in Guan County. If we want to compete with the Song family, we must unite with the local powerful families. As for how to unite and what methods to use, I still need to think about it carefully."
Hearing Han Shuang's idea, Mo Lan's eyes flashed with admiration. She hadn't misjudged Han Shuang after all.
“Your idea is good. Let me add something more. Currently, besides the Song family, the only other influential families in Guan County are the Yuan, Zhang, and Zhao families. Let’s choose to support the Zhao and Yuan families. The Zhao family has a solid foundation and a clean family tradition, while the Yuan family is a scholarly family with a good reputation. I plan to have these two families join forces to resist the Song family.”
"A joint venture between the two families is a good idea, but what if they disagree? No matter how powerful or wealthy the noble families are, they are all very proud and will not easily bow their heads." Han Shuang knew very well that even if they were to suffer for the sake of saving face, they would still put on a brave face.
"With enough benefits, arrogance means nothing. This is the key point I want to make. I plan to secretly support two powerful families and elevate them to a position of equal strength, so that neither can suppress the other. They can check and balance each other, and they must stick together tightly. Only in this way can they have the strength to compete with the Song family. On the surface, they will deal with the Song family, making Guanjun a three-way power struggle, and then we will have no obstacles in Guanjun."
Hearing her boss's idea, Han Shuang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on the back of her head. Supporting two families at once was something she had never even dared to dream of. The alliance she had just mentioned was only about choosing one of them. But now, her master had waved his hand and directly spread a net over Guan County.
Han Shuang is a smart person to be entrusted with such an important task by Mo Lan. Upon closer examination, her thoughts are extremely terrifying. The eldest brother has tied the two families together on one rope, and they cannot have any disloyalty. If they have any improper thoughts, they will be crushed into dust by the other party or the Song family.
With this vast network in place, no matter how powerful and influential the Song family is, they are like turtles in a jar.
On the surface, the eldest brother is using the strength of the Zhao and Yuan families to fight against the Song family, but in secret he has a constant stream of support from his master. The Song family's attempt to control Guan County will not be so easy.
With such a grand game of chess, the master made his move without even blinking. Han Shuang could foresee that the Song family's unfortunate days were just around the corner.
"Boss, you've really got some impressive skills. I admire you, but I also think you're too cunning. It was really unwise for the Song family to offend you."
How to put it? She felt that the boss was like someone flying a kite; as long as she held the string, how high and how far it could fly was entirely up to her, the master.
