Where there is light in the world, there is darkness; there are always places where the sun cannot reach.
When countless people cheered wildly at the Anyang beach, Yuan Yong personally escorted Yuan Cai's coffin back to Dongyuan County. Although Dongyuan County has been incorporated into Anyang, the government seat and Quwo Prefecture are still there, and even more prosperous. However, Li Xian did not "confiscate" the ancestral land of the Yuan family.
Yuan Zhao, who had already been dressed in mourning, stood quietly at the gate of the Yuan family.
The mourning hall was set up, and after the mourning, the top leaders of the Yuan family held a "meeting" under the hall.
Yuan Zhao spoke first, "Dad, our 'Blue Wolf Mercenaries' are ready and can rush into Xiao Country to arrest people at any time!"
Yuan Yong shook his head, "The plan is cancelled."
"Ah... why?"
Yuan Yong's mouth was cold, "The best way to retaliate is to keep the other party in fear. Besides, we are latecomers in Anyang after all, and our foothold is not stable. It would be reckless to attack rashly at this moment. We can't affect the development of Anyang for revenge, otherwise even if Li Xian can forgive us, Xu Ren, Li Yuanming and others will not allow us to destroy the current Anyang. Once we are restricted, the Yuan family will have no future, let alone revenge. As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is never too late. Revenge must be taken, but we can't drag the entire Yuan family into decline."
"Then do nothing?" The person who asked this question was Yuan Yong's second brother and Yuan Zhao's second uncle Yuan Zhong.
"Of course not!" A trace of murderous intent flashed in Yuan Yong's eyes. "Li Yuanming and I are working together to influence the internal affairs of Xiao State. We want to make them restless! Political struggles are more dangerous than battlefield wars, and we are also taking the opportunity to bribe people inside Xiao State. It's just a game. It's more interesting if we take it slow!"
Yuan Zhong said nothing, but just looked at the spirit tablet quietly, feeling quite sad. Yuan Zhaoze looked at his elder brother's tablet and said hatefully: "Since Zhang Quan dared to do this, I will make him regret it for the rest of his life! Revenge directly is too easy for him, so he must be left alone first! Yes, let's do this, starting with the Zhang family's guards and personal soldiers. These personal soldiers and guards must have relatives and friends, so we should first use different means to expel these guards and others, so that the Zhang family will gradually become isolated. Then, we will isolate the Zhang family little by little politically, so that they will be alone and lonely, and finally drive them crazy!"
"Let's do it! However, this matter can only be done with one method, and that is bribery!" Yuan Yong arranged this matter as soon as possible.
"Why?" Yuan Zhao was a little confused.
"Anyang is an industrial and commercial ideology, so we must follow this line of thought, so that we can win political 'correctness'. Secondly, there is an advantage of bribery, everyone will say that the 'bribed' person is not determined, and will not blame the person who made the move. In this way, we can still do it openly! We must take revenge in an upright manner, leaving everyone speechless! Doing so will not only win the understanding of the world, but also prevent Li Xian from being disgusted, and it is also in line with Anyang's political positioning. Remember, when doing this, you must give others a feeling of 'I have money, I use money to hit people'."
Yuan Zhao was a smart child and immediately understood what Yuan Yong meant.
Yes, if revenge is carried out by any means necessary, it will be despised by others, and even discredit the Yuan family, which will affect the Yuan family's political status in Anyang, because this is a violation of the rules! In any case, Zhang Quan's killing of Yuan Cai essentially abided by the rules of the political game.
