Chapter 557 Tudantian’s Plan
That group of senior executives are all very smart and know the rules of survival in troubled times. If they are not careful, they may lose everything.

Therefore, most people choose to wait and see, waiting for the best time to make a decision.

In their minds, choosing to surrender will be a major decision, both now and in the future, and they must be cautious.

In this process, they must not only consider their own interests, but also the future direction of the entire chamber of commerce.

And as one of the high-level forces of the Dantian Merchant Alliance, as long as they choose to surrender, whether now or in the future, there will naturally be many princes and imperial stars willing to accept them.

Therefore, the high-level forces of the Dantian Business Alliance are not in a hurry to enter the market.

But even so, the intricate relationships within the Dantian Merchant Alliance have been fully demonstrated in this turmoil.

Various forces are scheming and deceiving each other, trying to gain the greatest benefits for themselves in this chaotic world.

Some forces chose to protect themselves and wait for the opportunity, some forces chose to take positive action and look for new allies, and some forces even chose to simply betray and directly join other princes and emperors with their families.

The turmoil and unrest of these forces made the giant Dantian Merchant Alliance seem even more shaky.

However, even so, the Dantian Business Alliance still possesses strength and foundation that cannot be ignored.

Those unique elixirs, huge wealth, extensive trade routes and intricate network of relationships make it an existence that cannot be easily swallowed up.

Such strength and foundation are enough to make any prince or emperor unable to easily ignore its existence.

Even if Su Ye wanted to force them now, he would have to think twice.

After all, when it comes to economics, fists alone may not be enough.

It was naturally impossible for him to just finish everything off like he did in Cangzhou or even Qizhou.

If that really happens, who would dare to hang out with him in the future?
It would have been fine if you were in Cangzhou and Qizhou before, but why are you coming now?
Whenever they occupied a new territory, they would start to purge the local forces.

Who will be the guide in the future?

But for Su Ye, the turmoil in the Dantian Business Alliance was undoubtedly a huge temptation.

If this behemoth can be successfully taken in, the strength and foundation of the Cangzhou Army will surely make a qualitative leap.

But he also understands that the risks and challenges involved are equally huge.

After all, it is not an easy task to annex such a large and complex chamber of commerce.

He needs to deal with not only the turmoil and unrest within the Dantian Merchant Alliance, but also prevent interference and obstruction from other princes and imperial stars.

Therefore, as early as the moment he planned to take action against Hengzhou, he started to secretly plan against Dantian Merchant Alliance together with Guo Jia, Xun You, and even Yao Guangxiao and Jia Xu who were still in Cangzhou.

On the one hand, we actively contacted the middle and lower-level forces of the Dantian Merchant Alliance to win their support and allegiance.

On the other hand, spies were sent deep into the Dantian Merchant Alliance to find out the movements and intentions of high-level forces.

Only by fully understanding the internal situation of this behemoth could Guo Jia and even Yao Guangxiao, Jia Xu and others formulate more precise response strategies.

As the Cangzhou army advanced into Hengzhou during this period, the layout of Yao Guangxiao and Jia Xu gradually showed results.

Along the way, more and more low-level forces of the Dantian Merchant Alliance began to express their sincerity to him and were willing to join the Cangzhou Army.

Even a small number of high-level forces that were still on the sidelines began to feel the pressure from Su Ye. And now that the Cangzhou Army under Su Ye's command easily captured the Tianqian Pass that many Hengzhou forces had high hopes for.

I think this will be enough to enhance Su Ye and the Cangzhou Army's influence in the Dantian Business Alliance to a higher level.

The loss of Tianqian Pass was like a heavy hammer, striking hard at every force within the Dantian Merchant Alliance.

They originally thought that relying on the dangerous terrain of Tianqian Pass, they could at least hold off the attack of the Cangzhou Army for a while longer.

This way they will have more bargaining chips in their hands, and they can maneuver between Su Ye, the Daqian Dynasty, and many other forces, waiting for the right price.

However, reality gave them a resounding slap in the face.

This battle is enough to make the top leaders of the Dantian Merchant Alliance re-examine Su Ye and the Cangzhou Army.

Now, the young prince in the Daqian Dynasty really has the strength and ambition to swallow up their giant.

Presumably, many middle and senior management of the Dantian Merchant Alliance, and even the person who holds the real power of the Dantian Merchant Alliance, will start to send people to contact Su Ye.

Next, it will depend on the plans of Guo Jia, Yao Guangxiao, Jia Xu and others under Su Ye.

This will determine how much meat Su Ye and even the Cangzhou Army will be able to tear off from the behemoth Dantian Merchant Alliance!

At the same time, within the Dantian Merchant Alliance, an undercurrent of competition was quietly unfolding.

Many high-level forces that hold power within the Dantian Merchant Alliance began to send spies to try to find out the movements and intentions of Su Ye and the Cangzhou Army.

They want to know what ambitions and plans this young prince has, and whether he can really be their support in the future.

But Su Ye now has all kinds of talented people under his command, and none of them are ordinary people.

They had long anticipated such turmoil within the Dantian Merchant Alliance, and relying on forces such as Luowang and Shenwu Hall under Su Ye, they had already secretly prepared to deal with it.

Guo Jia, Yao Guangxiao, Jia Xu and others are all wise and cunning counselors.

When it comes to playing tricks, maybe they are not very good at business competition, but they are good at conspiracies and tricks.

Most of the people in Dantian Business Alliance couldn't beat them even if they were combined.

Several people openly sent personnel to continue to actively contact the middle and lower-level forces of the Dantian Merchant Alliance to win their support and allegiance.

Although these forces are not as powerful as the high-level forces, they are numerous and are well aware of the internal situation of the Dantian Merchant Alliance.

With their support, the Cangzhou Army can gain a deeper understanding of the internal situation of the Dantian Merchant Alliance and lay a solid foundation for subsequent annexation plans.

On the other hand, Guo Jia, Yao Guangxiao, Jia Xu and others began to launch a psychological warfare against the high-level forces of the Dantian Merchant Alliance.

Using the intelligence from the spies, either overtly or covertly, softly or hard, they continuously disrupted the positions of many forces within the Dantian Merchant Alliance, making it impossible for them to make correct judgments.

And as time goes by, with the efforts of several people, Su Ye and the Cangzhou Army are now gaining more and more influence among the lower-level levels of the Dantian Merchant Alliance.

The next target is that group of high-level fence-sitters.
