Chapter 456: Chapter Four Hundred Fifty-Two: Just The Beginning

The Wu Family had become a concern to Tang Gaomin. He continuously felt that over the years his actions had alienated Wu Huan, afraid that the Wu Family, along with several other smaller clans, had pledged their allegiance to the Mi Clan.

Bringing up this topic at the dinner table was also part of his seeking advice from Tang Zhi. The thought of having to make amends to Wu Huan after pushing him around for many years felt like a hit to his pride.

If there were a better way to solve this problem, preserving his face was definitely worth a try, and so Tang Gaomin was earnest in his intention.

His little scheme, of course, did not escape Tang Zhi’s sharp eyes, but the clan leader seemed indifferent, seriously explaining, “If they continue to stay in Xiling, the Wu Family, who have already taken center stage, are only left with two painful choices. Either fall under the control of the Mi Clan and be used as the vanguard in their fight against our clan or struggle to survive under the pressure of both clans. The West Hills, located exactly to the west, is situated at the intersection of both clans’ influences. Previously, there used to be a town separating the two clans. However, all that remains now is a river and a mountain range. No matter who initiates the attack, the West Hills will be the first battlefield.”

“Given Wu Huan’s shrewdness, he certainly would not allow the foundation painstakingly built by the Wu Family over two hundred years to be wasted on this meaningless battlefield. The considerable display he has put up now is not to show off the Wu Family’s power to both clans, but to attract other smaller clans to become their followers. Then, they would leave Xiling together. If everything goes as planned, the whole West Hills should be occupied with shipbuilding rather than arming themselves.” Tang Zhi seemed to be confident in his judgement.

All the noble families in Xiling now considered the Wu Family as a rising power, but Tang Zhi knew clearly that this was merely a tactic used by the Wu Family to deceive the two clans.

Because a clan that had been patient for two hundred years would definitely not send their members, who have been raised with great effort, into an uncontrollable battlefield to become cannon fodder.

With just a few words, Tang Zhi had stripped down the Wu Family, basking in their glory in Xiling, leaving them bare for everyone to see.
