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 grievances 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 Merchant Alliance have fierce internal struggles, facing strong external threats will arouse their vigilance and make them pay attention to opponents like Taiyi Sect.

However, if the Taiyi Sect has reservations, try to hold on to the opponent, not to overpower the opponent, but to protect itself. From time to time, you can make the opponent suffer a little loss, make a fool of yourself, etc.

Families like the Shang family and the Liao family would not let other families in the organization interfere, even if they were considering their own interests. Instead, they just wanted to rely on their own strength to solve troubles such as the Taiyi Sect.

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 be 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.

Later in our 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 was actively making 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, that is not what the current Taiyi Sect can do.

Meng Zhang didn't expect that Sun Shengdu actually had such ability. In comparison, his cultivation in the early stage of Yuan Shen was not so 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 great-nephew named Sun Pengzhi, whose cultivation level is no more than the Golden Core stage, but he is resourceful, good at making decisions, and 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 and was just copying the cat.

The Sun family is not really a cultivating family.

In Sun Shengdu's generation, because he was discovered to have a talent for spiritual practice at a young age, he was adopted by a military monk and became his disciple.

Over the years, Sun Shengdu has been serving in the military and has gradually accumulated the necessary training resources.

Don't think that the local garrison of the Dali Dynasty is a second-line army, which means 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 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 methods to squeeze them.

Therefore, rebellions of varying sizes occur from time to time within the territory.

It was not until recent years that the Dali Dynasty became stronger and stronger, adjusted the way of ruling the cultivators within the territory, and became 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 went through many battles and narrowly escaped death, and finally managed to save his life.

Sun Shengdu was able to achieve Yuanshen, and the resources he needed were basically exchanged for military merit.

After entering the Yuan Shen stage, his potential is basically exhausted and it is 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.

If monks like Sun Shengdu 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 great-nephew Sun Pengzhi was the most talented among them and 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 went from being dismissive at the beginning to believing deeply in the end. He gained a lot of 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.

Shortly after Sun Pengzhi arrived in the capital, 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 incident, Sun Shengdu was still a little embarrassed.

After all, obeying the advice of his nephew and grandnephew seems to be too unassertive.

Sun Pengzhi is a man with many clever ideas and is good at exploiting loopholes in various rules.

Sun Sheng was cultivated by the forces in the army and was able to achieve what he is today.

Even the local garrison has relatively strict control over its own monks.

It would not have been 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.
