Chapter 216 I Have a Plan

Xie Zhan smiled slightly and said, "Master, you ask such a core question right from the beginning. Do you believe me?"

"I, Chen Jiaye, don't trust anyone I employ, but I don't trust anyone I doubt."

Xie Zhan just smiled and said, "Master, let me send you a message first. Just think of it as a thank you for your help in providing medical advice to my people just now."

Chen Jiaye suppressed his temper and asked in a deep voice, "What's the news?"

"The Xue Guangxian that the head of the family has been looking for is in Pingzhou, Beidi."

Xie Zhan is not sure whether Xue Guangxian is in Pingzhou. This is his selfish reason.

The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger. He wanted to know the news about Lu Songli and others in Pingzhou. As long as Chen Jiaye sends people to look for Xue Guangxian there, he will be able to get some news back to him.

He was confident that what he said next would be enough to make Chen Jiaye believe his lies.

Chen Jiaye suddenly realized, Beidi?

He didn't expect that Xue Guangxian could run so far and keep a low profile for so many years.

His attention has always been on the big families in Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou and other places.

He knew very well what Xue Guangxian wanted, and he just thought that he had abandoned himself and joined someone else.

Chen Jiaye looked at Xie Zhan with burning eyes, "Xue Guangxian is already in the past. Let's get back to business, A Zhan, let's talk about how the Chen family should develop next?"

Xie Zhan nodded and was sure it was time to start. The first thing he said was, "The structure of the six aristocratic families in the South has been established for many years, right?"

Chen Jiaye nodded slightly.

Xie Zhan continued, "Among the six famous families in the South, Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang, Liu and Chen, the Chen family ranks last."

Hearing this, Chen Jiaye didn't look good.

Xie Zhan continued without paying attention, "Under such a situation, it is extremely difficult for the Chen family to move forward."

Chen Jiaye thought to himself, isn't this nonsense? Of course he knows, otherwise why invite him?

"But it's not without a chance." After Xie Zhan said this, he didn't say anything further, but picked up the tea beside him and drank it.

Chen Jiaye couldn't hold it anymore and asked him, "Where is the opportunity?"

Xie Zhan said slowly but forcefully, "The Chen family's opportunity lies with the Zhu family."

Chen Jiaye thought for a while, but still didn't understand, "An alliance?"

Xie Zhan shook his head and said, "Among the six great families in the South, the Gu and Lu families have the strongest foundation and strength. The four families of Zhu, Zhang, Liu and Chen are hard to match."

Chen Jiaye had a heart attack. Three years ago, the Chen family also had the opportunity to become one of the Gu and Lu families.

"The Zhang family and the Liu family are old aristocratic families. In recent years, the two families have been closely married and united with each other. The Zhang family and the Liu family are allies. It is impossible for them to form an alliance with any of the other four families alone."

Chen Jiaye nodded, it made sense, these two families were as good as wearing the same pants, and no one else could get in.

"Apart from the Zhang family and the Liu family, there are still three families, Gu, Lu, and Zhu. Now that the Chen family is weak and wants to form an alliance with the Gu and Lu families, they probably won't like it."

Chen Jiaye was silent. He tried to send a message to the head of the Gu and Lu families, but they didn't respond.

"So, even if you want to form an alliance, you have to show your strength before you can be noticed by them and become qualified to form an alliance with them."

Chen Jiaye asked, "Then do you mean that our Chen family and the Zhu family will form an alliance?" He said that the chance for the Chen family to move up lies with the Zhu family. Is this what he meant?

Xie Zhan shook his head, "No, even if you want to form an alliance, you won't be able to do so. The Zhu family is now tabooed by everyone."

Chen Jiaye: Huh?

"On the contrary, whether the Chen family wants to go directly up, or form an alliance with the Gu and Lu families to deal with other aristocratic families, or go up in a roundabout way, it is best to kill the Zhu family directly." Persimmon is being picky. The Zhu family is already the most powerful family in the Chen family. It is possible that it can be destroyed.

Chen Jiaye's face was dark. No, do you think that with the strength of the Chen family, which is ranked last, they can defeat any of the above in a duel?

"Master, I have a plan. We need to find such a place..." Xie Zhan stated his plan to Chen Jiaye calmly.

The more Chen Jiaye listened, the brighter his eyes became, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

"...After the Chen family has completely restrained the Zhu family, they will then unite with several others and eat them separately. I think the other families will be happy if they see the opportunity." Xie Zhan sighed in his heart. If the Chen family hadn't intervened, Bang, if he successfully defected to the Zhu family, he would have used another plan. That plan was much easier than the current one.

Chen Jiaye nodded thoughtfully, it sounded a bit feasible, just like how Xue Guangxian united with those families to deal with the Chen family.

He looked at Xie Zhan, hesitated and said, "There is such a place that fits what you said..."

He knows, Zhu Yazhou. Xie Zhan didn't show anything on his face and just nodded, "Master, this is probably the plan. You should think about it."

Get in! He will drag their family into the war...

Chen Jiaye got the trick. He was in agitated mood and had no intention of entertaining him. He called his confidants and said to Xie Zhan, "If you need anything, just ask Lao Ji and he will take care of it for you."

"Thank you for your generosity, head of the family. Zhan just wants to ask if there are any reports from Chang'an in the past few months?" He needs to know the news from Chang'an City.

Chen Jiaye told his confidant, "Get him this year's Di newspaper."

Chen Jiaye asked him, "If you have any other requests, just ask."

"I don't really have any other requirements."

Finally, Xie Zhan took away the Di newspaper and was sent back to the prisoner's residence by a carriage. There was also a lot of high-quality food on the carriage.

After Xie Zhan left, Chen Jiaye summoned his confidants and all the core members of the Chen family, but they only had five people.

At this time, Chen Jiaye had already written down the plan described by Xie Zhan.

It was circulated to everyone.

"Xie Zhan is truly a great talent."

"Yes, his analysis of the situation in the Southland is really penetrating."

"The analysis of other aristocratic families is also correct."

Chen Jiaye waited for a while and then said, "Let's see, are there any problems with this plan?"

You look at the other four people, and I look at you. After a while, one of them said, "I don't see any problems. This plan looks feasible."

In fact, they all tried to deduce it in their minds. In Xie Zhan's plan, the Chen family, as hunters, could achieve their goals if they carried it out step by step.

Chen Jiaye's cousin hesitated and said, "Brother, if we treat him like this, there won't be any traps, right?"

No one else spoke. Needless to say, those who are kind to others are good-sounding words, but everyone knows what they are like on the inside.

Chen Jiaye finally said, "Let it go first and then take a look. Everyone will think about it when they go back."

Xie Zhan's move was considered a conspiracy. Even though the Chen family had doubts in their hearts, they still couldn't help but use his plan.
