The various private forces operated by the Shi family near Chang'an have also developed to a certain scale, which can not only meet Shi Lei's requirements for building several reliable retreats, but each has a certain status in its own field, and it can be said that they are all among the top forces.

The first line from Chang'an to Shuzhong, as the force with the longest development time under the Shi family, is also the most powerful in scale and strength. It can be said unceremoniously that the Shi family is the actual chief scoop of this line, but most of this piece is controlled by the eight-armed Shura uncle who is still sitting in Yazhou.

And in terms of Baidao power, there has also been great development, because the dominance in the green forest, such as darts and guards, naturally has a natural advantage, and merchants are willing to find such a strong partner.

Even the Shi family's own business is gradually entrusted to these people to transport, so that it can not only establish a trade relationship on the surface as a cover, but also liberate more escort forces to expand more business routes.

In addition to these black and white forces, the mountain people and bureaucrats have basically become the dependency of the Shi family, and even mixed in the horse gang and the Cao gang, and from this route, the route to the plateau has also been extended, so this road in Shuzhong is the strongest branch of the Shi family, and it is also the most important retreat of the Shi family.

The pasture on the grassland is also developing very well, there is Li Mu, a famous killing god who resounds throughout the grassland, and he also leads a group of former Turkic warriors who are known to be brave on the grassland, and there are several battles for them to make a name for themselves, and now they are also very stable.

Of course, this is only on the surface, Shi Lei is really more at ease with the grassland line, mainly because of the nails he has planted.

When dealing with the joint attack of the Changsun family and the Dou family before, the strength exposed was only the tip of the iceberg. The power of the horse thieves has become more and more consolidated, and they can already be regarded as a powerful tribe, not just a simple wandering bandit, but they still do not change their nature of raiding.

But what really made Shi Lei more happy was the Turkic nobles he had casually thrown out before, and now they have gradually stood on the stage of power, and Shi Lei even saw so many of his own nails among the tribal leaders who came to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute.

And a similar situation happened to those nails on the Tibetan Plateau. Compared with those forces that others can see and touch, these are Shi Lei's real confidence and backhand.

Needless to say, the first line to Guangzhou is not only the power of the Shi family, but also the other uncles have invested a lot of strength in this side, after all, it involves the most important sea route of the Wa Kingdom.

And the Shi family's own strength on the sea is also the strongest among all the nobles at present, and the continuous launch of the new Tielimu flagship is also constantly expanding this advantage, making the Shi family's strength on the sea more and more powerful.

If it is used as a back road, it seems that there are more possibilities with the vast ocean at the back, so it is also an important route that the Shi family cannot give up.

As for the line from Chang'an to Guangzhou, Shi Lei naturally has made a lot of arrangements, and the bandits and bandits are gradually being led and eaten away by Shi Lei's subordinates, and they will develop in the same way as Chang'an to Yazhou.

But if there is really a case, we must first ensure that the important personnel of the Shi family can run out of the heroic city of Chang'an, so in recent years, the internal forces in Chang'an have been the focus of Shi Lei's attention.

In terms of waterways, there are actually docks that have become their own homes, and there are also those water gangs that seem to have nothing to do with the Shi family, and they have never even had business dealings, and there are one or two of the most hidden routes, and on the surface, they are still a little conflicting with the Shi family, and they are also taking refuge in forces that are not very good with the Shi family.

Not to mention on the land, some inconspicuous ordinary residents who settled in Chang'an City a long time ago, or seemingly inconspicuous positions like Wuhou, actually have the power of the Shi family.

This is still the recent housekeeper uncle and them, the things that have been reorganized, are all in the business of the father's generation, it seems that even a person like my father, who has a close relationship with the royal family, has never lacked vigilance against the royal power, and has prepared some back roads just in case.

There are also a lot of other bright or dark routes, which are enough to ensure that even if Shi Lei and them are trapped in Chang'an City, the whole city will be able to escape calmly.

With the cooperation of the city fox society rats supported by the housekeeper uncle in Chang'an City, as well as the power of the beggar gang, the development is also smooth, and it can already compete with those big gangs that obviously belong to other families.

It's just that these people are more of an intelligence source to operate, and they can't be used completely as a secret retreat channel, who makes them a big business now, and there are naturally many more people staring at them, and sometimes it is difficult to ensure that they can always keep no news out.

Fortunately, they know the relationship between them and the Shi family, that is, the real backbones among them, are all top masters who have gone out from the Shi family, and the safflower double stick that gave their own gang town, or the leader of the beggar gang Hong Sangong, are all loyal subordinates who can be trusted after Shi Lei's transformation. Therefore, when these forces are necessary, they can be used as smoke screens, which is also a good choice.

This time, I gathered all these people to understand their respective development status, and at the same time, it also meant to let them communicate with each other, so as not to really have a situation where their own family members don't know their own family.

The necessary confrontation is necessary to hide this relationship, but it has developed into real internal friction, which makes people depressed, and this meeting is imperative, and it can be regarded as a reshuffle of the territory.

It's just that their development is not smooth sailing, the pressure from the official side is better, they each have their own ways to deal with it, and there are people who report the news, which can cause relatively little trouble, and what really causes trouble is that there is a new force on the rise recently.

Although these forces scattered in various fields have little connection on the surface, with their extraordinary intuition, after some mutual exchanges, it can be said with relative certainty that these people should be from one family.

Fortunately, these equally powerful guys, although the speed of jumping up is quite fast, and the ability to lick blood with the knife head is also very good, but compared with these real top masters from the Shi family, there must still be a big gap.

The two sides did not break out into any fierce conflicts, but they had mutual temptations, so they retreated with restraint, and then the other party also had a tacit understanding that they did not set foot in the field where the power of the Shi family was located, and instead went to occupy the territory of other forces.

That is, in Chang'an City, there are slightly more confrontations between the two sides, after all, the masters behind those big gangs are not easy to provoke, and there are a lot of hard ideas under them, and the other party can only start to encroach on those weaker places.

It's just that the rise of this force is enough to make people vigilant, this force is too strong, and at the same time, it blooms more, and it can still maintain such a strong oppressive force everywhere, it looks like a big man with an official face has made a move, and it has to be a really top big man.

This is very puzzling, because the people who intend to start on the military side have already started, and the few big gangs in Chang'an City that cannot be moved have many shadows of top military doors behind them, and the methods of these people, although there are traces of the military, but their methods are not as direct and fierce as the military forces.

But if it is said that an official organization such as the Secret Spy Division has taken action, it is not like it, they still use more tricks such as controlling behind the scenes, and rarely go out on their own, it takes time and effort to fight the world, and the manpower is not enough. And this style of action is not very similar, although it is secretive, but it is not ruthless enough, so it can basically rule out the possibility of the Datang intelligence department.

Now that the possibility of the military and the Datang official has been ruled out, the target can only be some newly rising strong figures. Because the accumulated foundation is not enough, and some are in a hurry, they want to expand their power as much as possible in a short period of time, so there is the current situation. Their manpower also seems to be a little messy, with both the shadows of soldiers and the handiwork of people in the rivers and lakes.

Although the possible scope has been narrowed again and again, it is not so simple to determine who the key people behind them are, because being able to unify these characters together shows the strength of the characters behind them, and there is a hidden need.

The first thing to rule out is the possibility of Shi Lei's old enemies, the Zhang Sun family and the Dou family. At this stage, these two families are still busy licking the wounds caused to them by the Shi family, and they are not lightly tossed by the beating of the Shi family.

Later, after the group rose up to attack, these two companies were even more seriously injured, and now they are still busy stabilizing their inherent fundamental place, rebuilding the mine, resuming production, and then snatching back the lost share as much as possible. For this reason, some less important non-core industries have even been abandoned and concentrated on these core industries.

Judging from their current situation, it is not easy to draw some forces out to retaliate against the Shi family and make some small moves, let alone fully roll it out like this.

Among the newly rising forces, it seems that it is not common for Shi Lei to climb so fast, and Shi Lei seems to be the only one in the military attache system, and the others can only reach such a height by relying on decades of accumulation.

The civil service system is even more about seniority and connections, and these do not need to be accumulated for a long time, and it is also impossible to suddenly spike.

After ruling out these, it seems that the objects that can be suspected are basically concentrated within the royal family. For example, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, or other kings and kings who have other thoughts.
