I summoned all the famous generals of history in another world.

Chapter 553 Tu Dantian's Scheme and Planning

Those high-ranking officials were all incredibly shrewd, each deeply aware of the survival rules in chaotic times; one wrong move could lead to total defeat.

Therefore, most people choose to wait and see, and make a decision only when the best opportunity arises.

In their minds, whether now or in the future, choosing to surrender will be a major decision that must be made with utmost caution.

In this process, they not only have to consider their own interests, but also the future direction of the entire chamber of commerce.

Furthermore, as one of the high-level forces of the Dantian Business Alliance, whether now or in the future, as long as they choose to surrender, there will naturally be many feudal lords and imperial stars willing to accept them.

Therefore, the high-level forces of the Dantian Business Alliance are not in a hurry to enter the market.

Even so, the intricate relationships within the Dantian Business Alliance have been fully revealed in this turmoil.

Various factions are scheming and deceiving each other, all trying to gain the greatest benefit for themselves in this chaotic world.

Some forces chose to protect themselves and wait for an opportunity, while others chose to take active steps to find new allies. Still others simply chose to betray their allies and move their entire families to join other feudal lords and imperial stars.

The turmoil and instability caused by these forces made the already enormous Dantian Business Alliance appear even more precarious.

However, even so, the Dantian Business Alliance still possesses strength and resources that cannot be ignored.

Its unique elixirs, vast wealth, extensive trade routes, and intricate network of relationships made it an entity that could not be easily swallowed up.

Such strength and foundation are enough to make it impossible for any feudal lord or imperial star to easily ignore its existence.

Even Su Ye now would have to think twice before taking any forceful action against them.

After all, when it comes to the economy, force alone isn't always effective.

He certainly couldn't just end things like he did in Cangzhou or even Qizhou.

If that happens, who would dare to associate with him in the future?

It was one thing when they were in Cangzhou and Qizhou, but why are they coming here again?

Once a new territory is occupied, the local forces are purged.

Who will be willing to lead the way in the future?

For Su Ye, however, the turmoil within the Dantian Business Alliance was undoubtedly a huge temptation.

If they can successfully acquire this behemoth, the strength and foundation of the Cangzhou army will surely experience a qualitative leap.

However, he also understood that the risks and challenges involved were equally enormous.

After all, it is not an easy task to swallow up such a large and complex chamber of commerce.

He not only needs to deal with the internal turmoil and upheaval of the Dantian Business Alliance, but also needs to prevent interference and obstruction from other feudal lords and imperial stars.

Therefore, as early as the moment he planned to take action against Hengzhou, he, along with Guo Jia, Xun You, and even Yao Guangxiao and Jia Xu, who were still in Cangzhou, began to secretly plot against the Dantian Merchant Alliance.

On the one hand, they actively contacted the middle and lower levels of the Dantian Business Alliance to win their support and allegiance.

On the other hand, they dispatched spies to infiltrate the Dantian Business Alliance to gather intelligence on the movements and intentions of its higher-ups.

Only by fully understanding the internal workings of this behemoth could Guo Jia, Yao Guangxiao, Jia Xu, and others formulate more precise countermeasures.

As the Cangzhou army advanced into Hengzhou during this period, the plans of Yao Guangxiao and Jia Xu gradually began to show results.

Along the way, more and more lower-level forces in the Dantian Merchant Alliance began to express their sincerity to him, willing to join the Cangzhou Army.

Even a small number of high-level forces who were still observing began to feel the pressure from Su Ye.

Moreover, with Su Ye's Cangzhou army easily capturing Tianqian Pass, which was highly anticipated by many Hengzhou forces.

This should be enough to further enhance Su Ye's and Cangzhou Army's influence within the Dantian Merchant Alliance.

The fall of Tianqian Pass was like a heavy hammer blow, severely impacting every force within the Dantian Merchant Alliance.

They originally thought that with the natural defenses of Tianqian Pass, they could at least hold off the Cangzhou army's attack for a while longer.

This would give them more leverage, allowing them to maneuver skillfully among Su Ye, the Great Qian Dynasty, and various other forces, waiting for the right price to go.

However, reality gave them a resounding slap in the face.

This battle was enough to make the high-level forces of the Dantian Business Alliance re-evaluate Su Ye and the Cangzhou Army.

The young crown prince within the Great Qian Dynasty truly possesses the strength and ambition to annex their colossal power.

It is likely that many of the middle and senior levels of the Dantian Business Alliance, and even the true power holders of the Dantian Business Alliance, will begin to send people to contact Su Ye.

Next, we'll have to see what plans Su Ye's subordinates, such as Guo Jia, Yao Guangxiao, and Jia Xu, will devise.

Next, we'll have to see what plans Su Ye's subordinates, such as Guo Jia, Yao Guangxiao, and Jia Xu, will devise.

This will determine how much flesh Su Ye and even the Cangzhou Army will be able to tear off from the behemoth that is the Dantian Merchant Alliance!

...

Meanwhile, within the Dantian Business Alliance, a fierce competition was quietly unfolding.

Many powerful figures within the Dantian Merchant Alliance began dispatching spies to try and find out the movements and intentions of Su Ye and the Cangzhou Army.

We want to understand what kind of ambitions and plans this young prince has, and whether he can truly become their future support.

However, Su Ye now has a large number of talented people under his command, none of whom are ordinary.

They had long anticipated such turmoil within the Dantian Merchant Alliance, and relying on Su Ye's Luowang and Shenwu Hall forces, they had already secretly made preparations to deal with it.

Guo Jia, Yao Guangxiao, and Jia Xu, among others, were all strategists of exceptional wisdom and cunning.

When it comes to playing mind games, they might not be very good at business battles, but when it comes to underhanded tactics and schemes...

Even if most of the people in the Dantian Business Alliance were to gang up on them, they wouldn't be able to beat them.

On the surface, the group continued to actively contact the middle and lower levels of the Dantian Business Alliance to gain their support and allegiance.

Although these forces are not as powerful as the higher-ups, they are numerous and have a thorough understanding of the internal workings of the Dantian Business Alliance.

With their support, the Cangzhou army can gain a deeper understanding of the internal situation of the Dantian Merchant Alliance, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent annexation plan.

On the other hand, Guo Jia, Yao Guangxiao, Jia Xu, and others began to launch a psychological warfare campaign against the high-level forces of the Dantian Merchant Alliance.

Using intelligence from spies, whether overtly or covertly, softly or hardly, they continuously disrupted the plans of many forces within the Dantian Merchant Alliance, preventing them from making correct judgments.

And as time went by, thanks to the efforts of several people, Su Ye and the Cangzhou Army have gained increasing influence among the lower levels of the Dantian Business Alliance.

The next target is that group of opportunistic figures in the upper echelons.
