Chapter 686: Chapter Six Hundred Eighty-Two: Alliance Righteousness

The elders received the clearly imprinted intelligence detailing the power distribution in Lanshan City at the moment. This detailed report could only be accomplished through an intense amount of work, far beyond that which could be achieved through simple interrogation.

“It seems the clan leader has been well-prepared, but I wonder under what pretense the alliance will launch its attack on Lanshan City?” Tang Hongjun frowned after reading the report, “Though the west is in chaos, the powerful clans in each city and county have remained restrained, not extending their reach. Our abrupt annexation of Lanshan City might trigger a chain reaction across the entire west, wouldn’t it?”

In essence, the elders saw this annexation as baseless aggression. In Longzhou, where regional affiliations ran deep, people were accustomed to recognizing a family by its place of origin, like the Tang family in Xiling, the Cui family in Lanshan, or the Li Family in Fuling.

In the rough and tough western Longzhou, there was no major family able to rule over more than one large city. The root cause was that Longzhou was originally a wild and barren land. It only flourished because of the arrival of fallen aristocrats from Zhongzhou and impoverished rebel fighters who had come here to establish new cities. There were indeed many small families controlling multiple small cities, but hardly any ruling over a large city.

Once the Tang Clan set this precedent, no one knew what the future held. For the Tang Clan and the new alliance, which currently enjoyed promising prospects, Tang Zhi’s plotting seemed somewhat hasty.

“Rest assured, Second Elder, this war is not our clan attacking Lanshan City, but the new alliance aiding an allied city.” Tang Zhi certainly knew the importance of justification. If it was the Tang Clan attacking Lanshan City, that would be seen as blatant aggression. However, if it was the expelled Cui Family of Lanshan city leading reinforcements back to Aran Mountain, then it would be seen as the return of a rightful ruler.
