Chapter 440: Objective
Originally, on the way to Shangcheng County, Ye Chutian and Sun Qi planned to take the Xiangyang branch as their base camp, and then take control of the power on Xiangyang Road through the Xiangyang branch base camp.
When they came to Nanyang and discussed it in detail again, Zhou Wenhai and Sun Qi, when they knew the power and network behind Ye Chutian, changed the original method of strong attack to cleverness.
Ye Chutian and Zhou Wenhai are not rigid people. They can exchange the greatest harvest with the least sacrifice. Naturally, they use the best way.
After a while, Ye Chutian knew the importance of network and family prestige on the road.
Now they can easily control Wu Wei, which is the reason for the relationship between Song Zhao.
Originally, Meng Gu was a distant relative of Song Zhao. Hearing Song Zhao and Ye Chutian's words, he immediately followed Ye Chutian and rebelled against Hong Qing Cao.
There were many other deacons in the Shiyan branch, who were already dissatisfied with what Wu Wei had done. Now Meng Gu went to discuss with them and knew that Ye Chutian was originally a descendant of the elder brother in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and a distant relative of Hongmen's sister-in-law. He immediately received most of the support. The remaining responsible persons knew and followed Wu Wei It's useless to go. It's a way to live and an opportunity to follow Ye Chutian.
At the beginning, when Wu Wei was thinking about that million, he did not know that Ye Chutian had let the deacons and other leaders of the Shiyan branch hall empty Wu Wei's power.
In addition to the 300 members loyal to Ye Chutian, the Song family and other merchant families have found more than 1,000 members from the children of the Jiangnan family. After Lin Qingxiong's secret training, they are better than Hongmen in terms of weapons and equipment or the physique of those members. The members are more elite.
When Zhou Wenhai knew that there were more than 1,000 elite members behind Ye Chutian, he was more confident and was ready to let go and do a big job.
"Brother Zhou, I just saw Wu Wei, that is, a soft bone, and there is no threat."
"He is a greedy and lustful fat pig. How dare he die so easily?"
"If he can't get the support of the members below, he can't hold on for a long time."
"Even if he has backbone, what can he do? At that time, I will control his family, and he will obey as obediently."
"Now, it seems that the plan, unexpectedly, needs to change."
Ye Chutian said.
In fact, many times, Ye Chutian does not want to implict his family or his opponent's family.
However, sometimes, it has to be made.
"Brother Ye, we have taken Shiyan. Why don't we stand on our own here?"
Su Yun proposed.
However, Zhou Wenhai said.
"Actually, it's easy to be independent in Shiyan."
"However, this is not the right time. Hong Qingkao is not dead yet, and he still has his prestige on the road. Although there is some chaos on the road, if self-reliance is declared now, it will only cause the siege of Hongmen forces and treat Ye Sanye as other rebel forces.
"What's more, our goal is Xiangyang Branch. If we expose the target so quickly, it is easy to scare the snake. At that time, Xiangyang Branch will be occupied by other counter forces. Even if we fight back, our prestige on Xiangyang Road will be affected."
Zhou Wenhai analyzed it in an orderly manner. Ye Chutian nodded and agreed.
At this time, Su Yun knew Zhou Wenhai, which seemed to be really not simple.
Compared with Zhou Wenhai, Su Yun feels that his own man is more powerful!
It can be said that Zhou Wenhai is capable.
However, why did he only join the Mo family and become a thief of the Mo family?
The first reason is that he is inexplicably kind to his family.
The more important reason is that Zhou Wenhai does not belong to the power of the Hongmen family. Even if he is capable, he has no chance to make contributions without joining Hongmen.
In fact, this is basically the same as officialdom. If you have nothing to do with it, even if you have greater ability, it is likely that it will not be your turn. On the contrary, as long as you rely on family ties or networks, you can go directly to the back door.
It's the same on the road. Ye Chutian knows better that whether on the white road or the underworld, the network and prestige of a family are really too important for a person.
Ye Chutian knows that Wu Wei and Wu Run are brothers, and Wu Run, the head of the Xiangyang branch, is Wu Wei's eldest brother.
However, Wu Run got the hearts of the Hongmen members and Hongmen family members below in Xiangyang.
As the saying goes, the world that won the hearts of the people.
Many times, Ye Chutian knows more about the importance of people's hearts. If he takes down the Xiangyang branch, Wu Run will not accept his control, which may bring great trouble to his next management.
Now that knowing the relationship between the two brothers, Ye Chutian will naturally not kill Wu Wei easily, but will be very useful for the next opportunity.
"Brother Ye, I heard that Wu Run was in Xiangyang and got the support of the guards and members below. What should we do?"
"However, if Wu Run is not killed, there may be endless troubles in the future. If it is killed, it will cause great trouble.
"What do you say?"
Su Yun looked at Ye Chutian and Zhou Wenhai and asked.
Ye Chutian smiled.
"Now we are waiting for an opportunity."
"As the saying goes, the mantis catches the cicadas and the yellow finch. Now Tang Hao also wants to take down the fat meat in Xiangyang Branch. We also want to take it down. It's better to let them fight each other first, and then we will make a profit."
Su Yun still doesn't understand.
However, Zhou Wenhai has known that Ye Chutian has discussed this trick with them.
...
When the night comes, Mojiamen Villa is brightly lit and more lively than before.
Although it was besieged by Hongmen some time ago.
However, it recovered quickly, and more gangsters joined in.
On a hilltop pavilion in Mojiamen Villa, it was quiet, and only the moonlight from the sky shone down.
A high-aged man in a Tang suit stood in a pavilion. When the cool breeze on the mountain blew, his hair seemed to be blown.
At this time, he was standing on the mountain and looking at Mojiamen Villa.
This person is not someone else, but He Cong himself.
Two young people not far from him, one is his student Gu Yongshun and the other is Jinhetang.
Both of them admired He Cong very much. With that little trick, they asked Hong Qingkao to order Zhang Ji to kill Ye Chutian.
Now the situation of Hongmen is a real sunset in Xishan. The Hongmen Building, which is managed by Hong Qing Cao, will soon collapse.
Both of them knew that all this was done indirectly by He Cong.
Now the two follow He Cong, who are also He Cong's most trusted two people.
All the current plans are carried out according to He Cong's plan.
They knew that He Cong's footsteps would not stop.
"Master, how can we take the Xuzhou branch?"
"Xuzhou is the largest city in northern Jiangsu, and the Xuzhou branch is also the largest branch hall in northern Jiangsu. There are elite members of Hongmen led by Sun Lei guarding it. It's not so easy for us to take it down."
"Now our goal is to take the Huaibei branch first. When we have our own territory and economic resources, our next plan is the Xuzhou branch."
