Within the Li family, because of the departure of Li Xuanhuang and Li Jiangzhu's love of reading, the power of the Li family is now controlled by Li Mingxuan and his son. After years of experience as the clan head, Li Mingxuan has almost developed a vigorous and resolute style of doing things, which can be described as extremely decisive and quick, without any procrastination.

"Master, this is a request from the Yushan tribe in the south. They want to continue westward and plunder more territory."

Li Yeming's grandson stepped forward and handed a memorial to Li Mingxuan. In recent years, as Li Yeming's realm stagnated, he gradually practiced in seclusion more and more, and it was now his grandson's turn to serve the head of the Li family.

Li Jisi is the eldest son of Li Yeming's second son. Although his cultivation is average, he is intelligent and he will not show off his cleverness. He is exactly the right person to serve the head of the family.

Li Yeming was a member of the same clan as the Li family. Even though the Li family later re-established a new hall name, his surname was Li after all. He was naturally closer to the emperor than Fan Shao, Zhang Changhe and others. And this position, which was almost like a close minister to the emperor, was something he could not give up.

In addition, many families have joined the Li family in recent years. The existence of Li Yeming is undoubtedly an important guarantee for preserving the original position of the Huaihuang Li family. Especially since the older generation has all passed away long ago, he has rightfully become the leader of the Li family branch.

Li Mingxuan took the memorial from Li Jisi, which was written entirely in the Central Plains language. Yu Shanlie abdicated and passed the position of leader of Yushanhe to his son Yu Shanhe, who later passed it on to his son, Yu Shanyu, who is now the new leader of the Yushan tribe.

Through the method of arranged marriage, the Li family has almost already grasped the power of the Yushan tribe in the hands of the Li family. The wives of the leaders of the next two generations of the Yushan tribe will be the women of the Li family branch at that time. Therefore, these people in the Yushan tribe are all very loyal to their main family.

The new leader, Yu Shanyu, grew up in the Li family since childhood, so he is closer to the Li family.

Li Mingxuan looked at the contents of the memorial. Without exception, it was exactly what Yu Shanyu requested, which was to attack the scattered tribes of Xiyou in the west and incorporate them into the Yushan tribe.

It can be seen that Yu Shanyu is a complete radical. Since he came to power, he has always wanted to win over more territories. However, the head of the Li family has never agreed, so the plan has come to a standstill.

However, the latter received requests from time to time, but they were all rejected by Li Jiangzhu.

Li Mingxuan handed the memorial to Li Jisi, signaling him to read it as well. After Li Jisi had read it for the most part, Li Mingxuan asked, "What do you think of Yu Shanyu's plan?"

Li Jisi seemed to have been thinking about it for a long time and had prepared a draft in his mind. Then he said to Li Mingxuan: "I think that Yu Shanyu's plan is indeed feasible, but it is too radical and a gamble. It is a high-risk, high-return strategy. Based on the family's previous habits of doing things, we will definitely not agree to it."

He said this very respectfully, but did not express his opinion on whether he would agree or not.

As a subject, one must know when to advance and when to retreat. When the lord asks, perhaps one does not need to truly propose one's own choice, but rather to help the lord resolve his concerns and weigh the pros and cons, rather than blindly imposing one's own choices and opinions.

The final decision still lies with Li Mingxuan himself.

Li Jisi knew when to advance and when to retreat, which was why Li Yeming was willing to risk his reputation to ensure that he could get this position.

"The issue of the land of Jiaoyou must be resolved. My grandfather underestimated it and missed the opportunity, which led to the action of Ancestor Chengtian. Therefore, it must be one of the problems that must be solved in my generation." Li Mingxuan said.

In fact, now is the best time to attack. After Ming Jianfu's death, his descendants broke out in civil strife, which almost split the original Minghuang royal court, and finally each occupied a place.

Its foundation is no longer as prosperous as it was in the past, and even the Yushan tribe alone can unify it all. However, due to the existence of Taoist Cangtian, the Li family has always secretly sent people to sow discord between them, causing them to continue to waste their internal energy.

In the past few years, the Li family has frequently launched attacks, and the Taoist Cangtian behind them seems to have almost acquiesced. That is why Yu Shanyu is so eager to take back these territories of Jinli.

After all, who can refuse to become a wise leader who unifies the country and leaves a good reputation for generations to come?

What Li Jisi had mentioned before was the bet on whether the Taoist Cang Tian would take action to stop it.

If he did not show up, it would mean that they could rely on the Yushan tribe to take over two-thirds of the territory of Qiyou.

So it's a high risk, high reward thing.

In Li Jisi's opinion, there is no need to rush. It will not be too late to deal with it after the Li family becomes stronger.

However, Li Mingxuan had already written down his decision on the memorial, and when Li Jishen took the memorial, he saw Li Mingxuan's reply: "Keep up the good work and take it step by step."

After Li Jisi received the memorial, he prepared to leave the patriarch's study and asked others to send the memorial back to Yu Shanyu.

"and many more."

Li Mingxuan suddenly shouted, and Li Jisi had to stop and then stand in front of Li Mingxuan with his head bowed.

"Ji Si, you personally deliver this memorial to Yu Shanyu and warn him not to act so hastily and it would be better to find out all the circumstances." Li Mingxuan continued.

"Yes."

……

Within the Yushan Department.

Yu Shanyu, who had already lost all the characteristics of a Jiaoyou person, stood in front of Li Jisi with his ears respectfully lowered.

"Commander-in-chief, what does the Lord mean by this? He actually asked you to come here. Wouldn't it be better to just let the servants come directly?" Yu Shanyu said to Li Jisi in a flattering manner.

Li Jisi rolled his hands up his sleeves. Although he was over 120 years old, due to his cultivation, he looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties. His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to those of Li Yeming, and the latter was not a family member who only relied on his achievements, but had also grown up step by step through the war.

Li Jisi sneered and did not rush to speak.

This attitude made Yu Shanyu feel a little scared. As the current commander-in-chief of the Li family, Li Jisi was one of the most powerful figures after the patriarch. Apart from the clan leader, he was almost the third most powerful person in the Li family and a close minister to the emperor. It could be said that Li Jisi's opinions were mostly the opinions of the patriarch of the Li family.

Li Jisi smiled and said, "Chief Yushan, you have been familiar with Xia language since childhood, and you are a daughter of the Li family. How can you not understand the reason for these eight words?"

Yu Shanyu scratched his head and said uncertainly: "My Lord, are you unwilling to do this?"

Yu Shanyu naturally knew this, but with the appearance of Li Jisi, these eight words were not so simple.

So when Li Jisi answered, he was more uncertain.

"Over the years, from the last head of the family to the current head of the family, you have submitted no less than ten letters, but they were rejected every time. Haven't you ever thought about why?" Li Jisi asked.

Yu Shanyu had a conflicted look on his face. The head of the Li family had always simply given the excuse of not allowing anything. Moreover, he also knew that behind this land of Jiaoyou was the Taoist Cangtian who was half a step away from becoming a god. Although the Li family now had a Nascent Soul ancestor, they were still unable to shake such a figure.
