Xu Tong had already chosen his target before leaving Mount Liang.
What they lacked now was a strategist-or rather, someone who could keep the whole board in view.
Xu Tong was completely unsuited to that work. He had no talent for it.
After all, who would put someone who could do nothing but cultivate in seclusion in charge of the overall situation?
As for Chao Gai, he was good enough as a leader, but that was all he could be.
When it came to overseeing the big picture, Chao Gai was even worse than Xu Tong.
Under these circumstances, their shortcomings posed a considerable obstacle to Mount Liang's development.
For now, things were manageable. Mount Liang had only just gotten started, and everything was still taking shape. There was no need for any complicated maneuvering yet.
But what came next would be an entirely different matter.
Xu Tong had great hopes for Mount Liang.
In his plans, Mount Liang would eventually possess the power to overthrow a dynasty!
That made having someone to oversee the overall situation crucial.
At present, none of them was remotely qualified. They needed to bring in someone who could help.
Xu Tong already had a candidate in mind: Lu Junyi, the Jade Unicorn!
Not only was this man outstanding in martial prowess, but he was no simple character when it came to strategy and seeing the big picture, either.
Compared with someone as small-minded as Wu Yong, Lu Junyi, the Jade Unicorn, was far better suited to their current plans for Mount Liang.
But as things stood, Lu Junyi, the Jade Unicorn, would never join them on Mount Liang.
After all, Lu Junyi owned substantial property and could be considered a powerful local snake.
Why would someone like that readily abandon his home and fortune
