Meng Chaofan smiled proudly and said, "Since I'm here, how could I have no plans?"

"Speak and listen."

"Do you know, how many major forces are there in Shanghai now?"

"The dragons and snakes in Shanghai are mixed with countless forces."

"You are right, but among the powerful people in Shanghai, most of them are choosing to wait and see. There are only six who have made real achievements and have taken action."

"oh?"

"First, the '38th Division' headed by He Zhenzhi, the president of the Honglu Academy, belongs to the left wing of the conservatives." Meng Chaofan said: "I don't need to introduce this more, three years ago you

When he was in the imperial capital, he was the way to fight him! Although the Battle of Fengjun ended in failure, the 38th System did not really get a favor, but instead successfully attracted attention from all parties, making He Zhenzhi's wolfish ambition

It's obvious."

"Second, the right-wing conservatives represented by the Ouyang family, the leader of the Four Pillar Kingdom. Ouyang Xin is Xun Tiansheng's uncle. He can be said to be tied to the same chariot as the Fourth Empire. He will definitely defend Xun Tiansheng's dynasty empire to the death.

However, Ouyang Xin did not trust He Zhenzhi, thinking that he had his own ambitions and small abacus, so they were not the same as each other."

"What about the third one?"

"Third, the local faction led by Guan Liang." Meng Chaofan returned: "Shangguan Liang has been in Shanghai for many years and can be said to be the king of Shanghai. If we want to gain a foothold in Shanghai, we will inevitably fight with him."

“Where is the fourth?”

"Fourth, Bai Heng."

Meng Chaofan only answered four words, and he did not even need more introduction to Bai Heng.

"Bai Hengzhi is not in the four prefectures in Jiangnan, what he wants is the entire empire." Li Rui added.

"That's right, looking at the world, only Bai Heng has the ability to compete with Xun Tiansheng. However, Bai Heng is not a good person. He and Xun Tiansheng are birds of a feather. If he replaces Xun Tiansheng and changes to a head of the family, then

Just change the soup and not the medicine.”

"What about the fifth?"

"Fifth, Meng family."

"It seems that the sixth one is the Situ family."

"That's right." Meng Chaofan said: "These six forces are intertwined and have their own plans: although He Zhenzhi and Ouyang Xin both stand on Xun Tiansheng's side, they are fighting in the nest; no one can see the Ouyang family and the Shangguan family.

The competition is very fierce. Shangguan Liang will never allow Ouyang Xin to act wildly on his territory, let alone He Zhenzhi, Bai Heng will rob his territory; Bai Heng attempts to annex the world, for him, all kinds of ways

The princes are all thorns in their eyes. In this way, only our two families have the possibility of truly joining forces.”

"Mr. Meng, I probably understand what you mean, but once we join forces, we will inevitably be besieged by the other families. How can we defeat the enemy at that time?"

"Split and break it."

"I hope to hear the details."

"To deal with Bai Heng, you need to use force to fight, and you can use Shangguan Liang to check and balance it. To deal with Shangguan Liang, you need to hit seven inches and attack his key points. To deal with He Zhenzhi, because he gradually weakened his strength, he dared not dare to do it again

Compete with all the heroes. When dealing with Ouyang Xin, you should start from within him, remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot, completely defeat him or even destroy him."

"It seems that the young marshal has a specific plan."

"This is a big plan. I have no plan yet, but I have a preliminary idea, which is to first cut off Shangguan Liang's lifeline."

"Where is the lifeline?"

"Shanghai is a global financial center and a place where capital converges. Shangguan Liang has the largest financial channel in his hands. This is where the Shangguan family settles. As long as this lifeline is broken, the Shangguan family will not be afraid."

"But, how can we cut off its lifeline?"

"I formed the Kuangshi Group for this."

"Since that's the case, why do you have to form an alliance with me?"

"I'm not afraid of them, nor even the alliance between them. I just feel that I need like-minded partners on the way forward, and you, the one I'm looking for."

After saying that, Meng Chaofan took a deep breath of cigarette.

At this critical period, Meng Chaofan was already very sincere in putting down the young Marshal of Xiliang and taking the initiative to seek cooperation with Li Rui.

"I didn't expect that when we first met, Young Marshal Meng gave such a high evaluation. It really surprised me."

"You have also seen the current situation. He Zhenzhi has actually controlled the imperial capital. In addition, Ouyang Xin takes action, Xun Tiansheng is no longer worried about internal troubles. He will have greater energy to deal with external troubles. If...

.”

"If Shanghai also came to Xun Tiansheng's hands, then he would have no worries anymore." Li Rui replied.

By then, the only ones left will be the Meng family and the Situ family.

"You said it right, so the battle in Shanghai is crucial and we can't afford to lose." Meng Chaofan said.

"Okay, I can promise you!"

Li Rui said firmly.

Meng Chaofan smiled and said, "Don't you consider it?"

"A real man is clean and neat in his work. Now the situation is clear, there is no need to consider it!"

"Okay, happy, I didn't expect that your personality is quite similar to mine. I am a person who speaks quickly." Meng Chaofan smiled and said, "Let's do this. In order to show my sincerity, I can make a guarantee to you that after the matter is completed,

Including Shangguan Liang's financial channels, all of the Shangguan family belongs to you."

Li Rui shook his head and said, "Glory and wealth are passing by. I am not working with you for these purposes. I just hope that Young Marshal Meng can remember what he said today and consider more for the people of the world!"

Meng Chaofan smiled and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as a horse, but I, Meng Chaofan, will never be fooled."

"Okay, then I will thank Young Marshal Meng for the people of the world."

Li Rui knew about Meng Chaofan.

He knew that Meng Chaofan was a trustworthy person. Meng Liang was entrenched in the two states of Yunliang, with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. If he really started a war in the future, his troops would inevitably suffer. Meng Chaofan was able to think about the people and was a rare benevolent and righteous king.

However, putting aside the Meng family, the other four forces in this chess game are not good at it.

Especially Ouyang Xin, he was too cunning, like a fox who could never see through.

Meng Chaofan is not afraid of the Shangguan family, but the Ouyang family. The old man Ouyang Xin, who had already stepped into the coffin, has a transcendent status in the Heavenly Kingdom. It was under his leadership that the Ouyang family achieved what they are today.

Although Li Rui also knew that Mr. Ouyang was seriously ill in bed, he did not dare to underestimate this old man.

As for the Shangguan family... Li Rui didn't know them.

After smoking another cigarette, Li Rui thought about all these families in his mind.

"Mr. Meng, if you want to gain a foothold in Shanghai, relying on Kuangshi Group alone may not be enough."

"Oh? What are your opinions?"

"The Xiliang Army is thousands of miles away and can only serve as a support. If something really happens, it will be beyond reach. You need to have your own power."

Speaking of this, Meng Chaofan laughed. Then he picked up the phone beside him and called Long Ling's phone.

"Young Marshal, is there anything else?" Long Ling's a little impatient voice came from the other end of the phone.

At this time, Long Ling rarely answered calls, except for Meng Chaofan's.

"I have found Li Rui, and he agreed to cooperate." Meng Chaofan thought for a while before he said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, Li Rui? Is he qualified to refuse cooperation?" Long Ling's tone was very disdainful, but she immediately thought of something and continued, "What did you say to him?"

"He is in front of me now." Meng Chaofan's tone was a little solemn, and then said, "He has guessed that I need to recruit soldiers now, so I plan to introduce you to him."

Long Ling fell into silence.

Meng Chaofan didn't say anything, and was quietly waiting for Long Ling's decision. On many issues, Meng Chaofan still felt that it was safer to leave it to Long Ling to deal with it.

"Since you have decided, why bother to tell me again?" After a while, Long Ling finally spoke: "He can see this, which means he is not simple."

"Yeah." Meng Chaofan replied in a deep voice.

"Also, I have sent someone to stare at Ma Ningshuang and Zhou Xinyue. If they did not move abnormally tonight, we would be more calm. But as long as there is any movement, tomorrow will be their death." Long Ling's tone suddenly changed

It was extremely cold.

Meng Chaofan didn't say anything. He knew him so well, and under his beautiful appearance, he had a ruthless heart. As long as she made a decision, it would generally be difficult to change.

"Why don't you speak?" Long Ling asked.

Meng Chaofan smiled embarrassedly, but did not answer.

"Okay, wait for tonight." Long Ling said tiredly: "I'm going to rest..."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Chaofan felt very relieved.

"Li Rui, I have already conquered the Nanlong Gang, the largest gang in Shanghai. I have no need to worry about it," Meng Chaofan said.

A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Li Rui's mouth and said, "Mr. Meng is really a good method!"

"It's up to people!" Meng Chaofan's mouth curled up a smug curve.

In the night, a business car was driving slowly...

Li Rui continued: "Sir Meng, do you know why I came to Shanghai?"
To be continued...
