The Senate's action plan began slowly after the decision was made.
Far in the north of the mainland, across the river is Longcheng.
Zhuge Liang received instructions from Zhou Yunfei in Clare City.
After summoning several important ministers, Zhuge Liang informed everyone of Zhou Yunfei's arrangements.
"Everyone, Liang has thought about what the Lord said in the letter. There are advantages and disadvantages to this matter. Now I have specially called all my colleagues here to decide how to act to ensure that the advantages are maximized and the disadvantages are eliminated as much as possible."
Pang Tong first stated that the military would not be involved. It would not be involved in anything related to politics. It would only provide Zhuge Liang with maximum operational support when necessary. The military only made decisions based on Zhou Yunfei's will.
Zhuge Liang was very satisfied with Zhou Yunfei's original decision. The military did not need to have ideas. It was the largest violent organization. The military only needed to ensure that Longcheng had stable external conditions and resisted external pressure. Everything was managed internally by the police and inspection agencies.
Although Zhuge Liang also knew that even asking Pang Tong was in vain, but this move might as well remind everyone to remember that the army is not a participant in politics, but can only be regarded as the executor of political decisions!
At the same time, it is also a reminder to everyone that no matter where they go, there is an iron-blooded and invincible army behind them silently guarding Dragon City.
Next, Zhuge Liang and everyone discussed the orders given by Zhou Yunfei.
Finally, after coming up with a relatively satisfactory plan, Zhuge Liang wrote the outline, put the letter into a small bamboo tube, handed it to the liaison officer, and quickly sent it to Clare City.
If it is finally approved by Zhou Yunfei, then this plan will be implemented. Zhuge Liang is very confident in this. The lord is always good at listening to everyone's opinions. Such a lord is worthy of the death of counselors and officials like them.
While Dragon City was making intensive preparations, the Senate's plan was also unfolding step by step.
A secret force received an order from the Senate, packed up their gear, quietly crossed the border of the Byvost Empire, and secretly advanced towards the north.
Regarding the operation of Dragon City this time, the Senate discussed two approaches. To put it simply, one approach targeted Zhou Yunfei personally, while the other targeted the main officials and chamber of commerce leaders within Dragon City!
In order to paralyze Zhou Yunfei and Longcheng, they specially sent a business team, marching towards Longcheng with great fanfare under the slogan of trade and cooperation.
However, a very comic scene occurred on the tenth day after the order was issued.
On this day, Linda came out of the Senate as usual. It was another day of meetings full of disputes. This made Linda, who had been silent, very bored and helpless. As she boarded the carriage home, Linda watched
Looking at the business report that just came out last month, I picked up the previous data from time to time for comparison.
"Miss, I just received news from the north." The middle-aged man was riding on a horse and handed the letter in his hand to the carriage window.
Linda raised the car window and took the middle-aged man's letter. She casually opened the wax seal on the letter. After just two glances, Linda's expression became very strange.
After thinking for a moment, Linda sighed quietly, and the carriage stopped, arriving home.
"Miss, what's going on in the north?" The middle-aged man asked when he saw Linda's sad face.
Linda nodded in a daze and handed the letter to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man took the opened envelope, took out the letter, and read it.
His expression also became extremely weird along with the content of the letter. "I didn't expect that this Dragon City would actually unite with the Claire family. It's really unexpected!" The middle-aged man read it several times and confirmed that it was true.
After the holiday, I sighed with emotion.
Isn't it? A few days ago, the Senate just passed the decision to attack Longcheng through abnormal means, and then the news of the alliance between Longcheng and the St. Clair family came. I am afraid that those idiots who are calling for the destruction of Longcheng will now
His expression must be wonderful.
The name of the Clare family is almost unknown even in the Alton Empire. Even the famous Holy Family, even the five imperial royal families, are not called Holy! There are only six Holy Emperors
And there's General Reinhard St. Clair!
Such a noble with a long history and profound foundation is, in some respects, much stronger than the current Alton royal family. But now they are united with Dragon City. This news really surprised many people.
!
At the beginning, many members of the Senate thought that in the north of the Byvost Empire, there was a more famous and powerful Clare family that blocked the rise of Dragon City, so they dared to approve this action. But in the blink of an eye, they found that what they had hoped for before was
People become allies of the enemy. This kind of unpreparedness will definitely drive many people crazy!
But the operation has begun, the order has been issued, and the team has been dispatched. And most importantly, in order to prevent leaks, the action route is formulated at any time by the leader in the front, which also makes it difficult for the Senate in the rear to find them.
Let alone stop taking action!
The Senate is now in an extremely embarrassing situation. They know that this operation is likely to cause a crisis, but they cannot stop. They can only pray that the future fire will not burn themselves.
Businessmen, especially those in the feudal society such as the Senate, are so virtuous. Regardless of their superficial glory, in fact, it is the larger nobles who really control the military and fiefdoms behind the scenes!
And it is very important that businessmen, or the Senate, are not unified. This is also easy to explain. After all, people are accustomed to forming gangs and looking for similar people in the crowd. So now there are larger groups in the Senate.
Thirteen. Most of the remaining members are attached to this large group of thirteen.
These thirteen groups are mainly distributed among the thirteen relatively large fiefdom lord aristocratic families in the entire Alton Empire. They also control more than 90% of the military affairs and politics of the entire empire.
It is precisely because of the subtle hostility between the thirteen families that the Senate has been unable to replace the royal family. The group Linda belongs to is a neutral member composed of scattered people outside the thirteen main groups.
.
Among the thirteen Senate organizations, the one that hates Dragon City deeply is the Alton Empire Northern Chamber of Commerce and the Barrow family. This family relies on the border with the Byvost Empire to control northern goods.
circulation. Its opponents were mainly the Byvost Empire Royal Chamber of Commerce in the past.
The people of the Barrow family are very greedy and easy to hold grudges. For example, during the chaos in the north last year, the second prince of the Bywest Empire came to them personally and wanted to buy the empire's excess food reserves. The Barrow family took the opportunity to raise the price, which made the second prince angry.
He couldn't help but could only swallow his anger. However, he also remembered this revenge.
On the other hand, the Barrow family was overjoyed to have made a fortune this time. As for the hostility of the Byvost Empire, they were arrogant and believed that the Northern Empire, which was about to be in chaos, posed no threat to them at all.
The ones who strongly advocated the sanction of Zhou Yunfei this time were the Barrow family and his Northern Chamber of Commerce, which had suffered a great loss. Moreover, they were also the main planners of the last action. It can be said that the feud between them and Longcheng has been forged.
When the Barrow family received the news of the alliance between Longcheng and the Claire family, they were arrogant and felt that the Claire family was just an outdated family, and an upstart with little strength would not threaten them at all. Also,
They dared to kill the second prince in the face, so naturally they would not be afraid of the alliance of "just two small families".
Linda didn't know what to say. For such a "superior" family, confidence is a good thing, but excessive arrogance is the root cause of destruction.
If God wants to destroy him, he will go crazy.
The expansion of power caused them to lose their sight. No one could have expected that this action decided by the Senate privately would eventually lead to such consequences. Even Linda, she guessed at the beginning, but
Didn't guess the result.
Leaving the empire's border and going deep into the Byvost Empire, a team of about a thousand people was disguised as a passing caravan and headed towards Clare City, an important city in the north of the empire and the city where the target was located.
They are the elite troops of the Senate, the "guards" of the Barrow family. These are dead soldiers trained by the family since childhood. They only have the concept of dedication and execution for the family in their minds, and they selectively ignore the rest.
.
Such a well-equipped and high-quality team is led by Zhaosi Barrow, a young collateral descendant of the family who also comes from the Barrow family. He relies on his smooth flattery. Although he has no ideas, he has
He used his biological sister to give her to the only son of the current patriarch, the first heir of the family, and finally climbed to this position. He has never been ashamed of it. On the contrary, he has always been proud of this relationship.
Zhaosi didn't think the task given to him by the family was too difficult this time. As long as he had the team in hand, it was more than enough to deal with an upstart and a weakened noble. So he didn't bother to divide the forces into two groups according to the plan and directly led the team.
They went straight to Clare City, planning to sneak into the city and take the city by force.
It's ridiculous that he thinks that a thousand people in his hand is enough. Yes, there are many thousands of people in history who occupy a city from the inside, but that depends on when and where. There are no special circumstances.
More than 10,000 troops are enough for them to endure!
But it is obvious that the arrogance of the Barrow family is inherited in the genes, and Zhaosi, like his name, is really looking for death. His not-so-developed brain capacity is thinking of seizing the current head of the Claire family.
The young and beautiful flower of the empire, Yuna. He has a perverted hobby for women and is fantasizing about some unrealistic scenes. The drool at the corner of his mouth well exposes his true nature.
If other members of the Senate knew that the person sent to perform this mission was such a "best person", they would probably slap themselves twice. A typical old man who eats arsenic - seeking death!
