In the summer of the 387th year of the Great Liang calendar, several northwestern prefectures of Liang suffered a century-long drought. Due to the government's ineffective disaster relief, wide...
We can only ask the lower officials to try their best to win over the Langjiang and Xiaowei of the wing army camps in various places."
Cao Hui hesitated for a moment, "But it would take a lot of money to win over the generals and captains of the wing troops.
We gave all the land tax to Sun Hao, and only asked for 10% of the commercial tax. The money we got would probably only be enough to cover the daily expenses of the local government offices."
“As for the money issue, I will find a way to solve it.
The question now is whether I can bribe those generals and lieutenants in the wing army with money."
Geng Jing's residence in Zhenxi City was originally the residence of a prince of the Gule Kingdom. It was almost as big as the provincial government office and was given to Geng Jing by Sun Hao.
As Geng Jing entered the large mansion, Liao Di, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Left Guard, came to greet him. "Old Geng, how are you?"
"Let's go inside and talk." Geng Jing waved to Liao Di.
After Geng Jing and Liao Di entered a study, Geng Jing sighed, "I learned from Xizhou Mu Dong Zixiao that the prince's battle in the southwest is not going well.
As for the Xizhou governor, I don't think he can defeat Grand Commander Sun."
Liao Di frowned, "But the prince's letter requires us to do our best to cooperate with the Xizhou governor."
Geng Jing patted Liao Di on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't think too much about it for now.
The attack on Wensu Kingdom is about to begin. The armies of other countries in the Western Regions will definitely come to Wensu Kingdom's aid. Let's find a way to survive first!"
What Dong Zixiao and Geng Jing didn't know was that their meeting was soon discovered by Sun Hao. Sun Hao even knew exactly what Dong Zixiao and Geng Jing said after they met.
In a room at the prefectural government office, Xie Minghui, who had just been appointed as the Langjiang of the Xizhou Wing Army, asked a confidant, "Liu Bao, has the letter been delivered?"
Liu Bao nodded and said, "General, it has been delivered to Mr. Zhuge in the Zhenxi Protectorate."
"You weren't being followed?"
"Don't worry, General. I was very careful along the way. I went around several streets in the city before I got to the Zhenxi Protectorate and entered through the back door."
Xie Minghui heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "That's good. From now on, the task of delivering intelligence to the Zhenxi Protectorate will be handed over to you."
Liu Bao hesitated for a moment and said, "General, if we do this and Prince Yong'an finds out in the future, I'm worried..."
Before Liu Bao could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xie Minghui, "I don't want to betray Prince Yong'an in my heart. After all, Prince Yong'an has been very kind to me.
But……"
"General, what is it?"
“But what they give is too much.”
