Chapter 584: Disadvantage
"A year and a half is already a conservative estimate. It might take a few years to truly apprehend them."
"For the sake of a few thieves, we would have to transfer soldiers from the border region. If an issue arises there, the gains won’t outweigh the losses."
"If the Emperor insists on deploying troops, issue a decree to transfer individuals from the local area."
The Public House’s strategy was well-conceived. The individuals transferred from the local areas lacked significant combat experience, making them easy targets for elimination. Moreover, mobilizing people from the local area would consume time.
The process of sending people from the capital to the designated location would take around ten days. Once they arrived at Shanglin, an additional ten days would pass.
As a month passed, the Public House intended to inform those in the mountains to prepare for the elimination of these individuals in one swift move, undermining Su Bin and the emperor.
However, before they could finalize their approach, Su Bin’s third memorial arrived. While the Public House didn’t consider the situation particularly serious, they favored a temporary transfer method. In response, they promptly dispatched someone to deliver the message.
Soon after sending the letter, Su Bin’s fourth memorial arrived. On the Public House’s end, they had achieved a significant victory in encircling the bandits. More than a hundred prisoners were now detained in the government office’s prison, awaiting representatives from the capital to receive them.
It was at this point that the Public House realized they had underestimated the impact of Su Bin’s hero post and his luck. He had effectively leveraged individuals from the martial arts world to earn significant merit for himself, causing a silent loss for the Public House.
