Sect Master’s Immortal Journey Chapter 1009: Advice and advice
Sun Shengdu was very familiar with the various inside stories of the three major merchants, and Meng Zhang benefited a lot from his narration.
During the conversation, Meng Zhang also revealed to him the grudges and disputes between Taiyi Sect and various local cultivation forces in Jiuqu Province, and these three major merchants.
If it were Sun Shengdu in the past, and he heard that Meng Zhang had provoked a behemoth like the Datong Merchant Alliance, he would have probably fled as far away as possible.
But since he took the initiative to join Meng Zhang, he has shown great loyalty and will actively advise Meng Zhang.
After understanding the relevant situation, he came up with many countermeasures for Meng Zhang.
For Taiyi Sect and the local cultivator forces, they should try to avoid direct confrontation with these three major merchants, especially not to completely suppress these three major merchants.
Although large organizations like the Datong Business Alliance have fierce internal struggles, facing strong external threats will arouse their vigilance and make them pay attention to opponents like Taiyi Sect.
But if Taiyi Sect has any reservations, try to hold on to the opponent, not to overwhelm the opponent, but to protect itself. From time to time, you can make the other party suffer a little loss, make a fool of yourself, etc.
Families like the Shang family and the Liao family, even if they are based on their own interests, will not let other families in the organization interfere, but only want to rely on their own strength to solve the Taiyi Sect and other troubles.
As for other families, at most they just watch the jokes from the sidelines, or even hold back.
By delaying it slowly like this, we can buy Taiyi Sect enough time.
After listening to Sun Shengdu’s suggestion, Meng Zhang’s eyes lit up. He had never thought that Sun Shengdu had such a good strategy.
Without an in-depth analysis of various situations and an in-depth understanding of people's hearts, we would not have been able to come up with such a good response.
When the two met for the first time, Sun Shengdu left a very bad impression on Meng Zhang.
This person is irritable and easily provoked and taken advantage of by others.
In the subsequent interactions with him, this person even showed his tendency to follow the crowd and act according to the prevailing circumstances.
Meng Zhang always didn't believe Sun Shengdu's initiative to surrender, thinking that he might have other motives.
But since Sun Shengdu took refuge with Meng Zhang, at least on the surface, nothing was wrong.
Just now, Sun Shengdu actively made suggestions and really made good suggestions.
Meng Zhang is not a very resourceful person, but he has been in the world of cultivation for many years, and he still has the basic ability to distinguish.
The suggestions put forward by Sun Shengdu are very feasible. If implemented accordingly, Taiyi Sect can indeed minimize the threats posed by the three major merchants.
As for completely solving this threat, it is not something that the current Taiyi Sect can do.
Meng Zhang didn’t expect that Sun Shengdu had such ability. In comparison, his cultivation in the early stage of Yuan Shen was not that important.
Meng Zhang praised a few words and kept saying good things about Sun Shengdu.
Sun Sheng was a little embarrassed by Meng Zhang's praise.
He hesitated for a moment before telling Meng Zhang.
Many of the suggestions and methods he just made were not his own ideas.
He has a grandnephew named Sun Pengzhi, whose cultivation level is only at the Golden Core stage, but he is resourceful, good at making decisions, and is good at solving various problems for others.
In the past, there were cultivation forces in the Dali Dynasty that encountered similar problems that Taiyi Sect is facing now.
Sun Pengzhi once gave him advice and solved this problem properly.
Sun Sheng knew the causes and consequences of solving the problem that time, so he just put forward feasible suggestions based on the actual situation of Taiyi Sect.
Speaking of which, he just took advantage of his great-nephew, just copying the cat and imitating the tiger.
The Sun family is not really a cultivating family.
In Sun Shengdu's generation, because he was discovered to have a talent for cultivation since he was a child, he was adopted by a military monk and became his disciple.
For many years, Sun Shengdu has been serving in the military and has slowly accumulated the necessary training resources.
Don't think that the local garrison of the Dali Dynasty is a second-line army, so it can stay away from the battlefield and away from danger.
The Dali Dynasty had many enemies, and internal and external battles almost never stopped.
The local garrison is responsible for guarding the local area and suppressing the rebel forces within the territory.
The Dali Dynasty has always exercised high-pressure rule over the major cultivation forces within its territory and used very harsh means to squeeze them.
As a result, rebellions of varying sizes occur from time to time within the territory.
It was not until recent years that the Dali Dynasty became more powerful and adjusted the way the cultivation forces in the country governed, becoming much gentler, and all kinds of riots gradually decreased.
When the Dali Dynasty went on foreign expeditions, local garrison troops were often called up to fight on the front lines.
Sun Shengdu participated in most of the battles of the Dali Dynasty's foreign conquests. He was in danger and had a narrow escape from death, and finally managed to save his life.
Sun Shengdu can achieve Yuanshen, and the resources required are basically exchanged for military merit.
After entering the Yuan Shen stage, his potential was basically exhausted and it was difficult to continue to improve.
Although the Dali Dynasty had many shortcomings, it provided a channel for lower-level monks with no background to rise.
For monks like Sun Shengdu, if they are not working hard in the military, no matter how good their qualifications are and no matter how hard they work, they may not be able to get the resources and opportunities to advance to the Yuan Shen stage.
After Sun Shengdu became successful in spiritual practice, he also wanted to take care of his descendants.
His grandnephew Sun Pengzhi is the most talented one among them, and he has received great support from him.
After Sun Pengzhi embarked on the path of spiritual practice, he quickly showed his resourcefulness.
Although he is a junior, he plays the role of Sun Shengdu's military advisor and often provides advice and guidance to Sun Shengdu.
Over the years, Sun Shengdu, from initial disdain to final belief, gained many benefits and avoided many risks from the guidance of his grandnephew.
Not long after he came to the capital this time, he called his great-nephew Sun Pengzhi over.
Soon after Sun Pengzhi arrived in Shangjing, Meng Zhang killed Ouyang Joaquin.
It was only with Sun Pengzhi's full persuasion that Sun Shengdu gave up everything in the past and took the initiative to join Meng Zhang.
When he told Meng Zhang about this matter, Sun Shengdu was still a little embarrassed.
After all, obeying the advice of his grandnephew seems to be too unassertive.
Sun Pengzhi has a lot of clever ideas and is good at taking advantage of various rules.
Sun Sheng was able to achieve what he is today after being cultivated by the forces in the military.
Even the local garrison has relatively strict control over its own monks.
It would not have been that easy for him to leave the army and come to Meng Zhang.
It was Sun Pengzhi who helped him devise a plan so that he could successfully escape from the army without leaving any consequences and regain his freedom.
After hearing Sun Shengdu’s introduction, Meng Zhang suddenly became very interested in the person he mentioned as Sun Pengzhi.
