Chapter 199 Insurance and Recruitment

"Is this right here?"

"yes!"

At night, in an inconspicuous courtyard in Nanyang Town, Xiong Er sat under a tree, holding a piece of mutton and chewing his mouth full of oil.

And not far away.

Xiong Da and Nanyang County Sheriff Zuo Teng were sitting opposite each other at a stone table, brewing a pot of tea and looking at a tall building next door.

"This is General Nanyang's Mansion. You two must also understand the current situation in South Korea. All military power in South Korea is now in the hands of General Ji Wuye. Although I am the governor of Nanyang County, I cannot get involved in the army."

"But if you want to interfere with the defense of Nanyang City, Tian Lin, the Right Sima who guards Nanyang, is also a figure that cannot be avoided."

"Originally, I have been drinking and having fun with Tian Lin these days, and I have initially gained his trust. According to the plan, I will get Tian Lin drunk tomorrow night, so that he will slack off the city defense the next morning, and I will take his place and create something for the Qin army.

The opportunity to open the city gates wide."

"But there are still risks in this plan. Although Tian Lin is fatuous, he is not incompetent. When the war breaks out, Tian Lin will definitely react immediately. If he is allowed to rush to the city defense in time, some variables may be added out of thin air."

"So for the sake of safety, I would like to ask you two to keep an eye on Tian Lin here. It is best to delay it for a while when an accident occurs."

Letting Xiong Da and Xiong Er become this 'insurance' was Zuo Teng's temporary plan.

It's a shame to say it.

Although Zuo Teng is now the governor of Nanyang County, it is a pity that the number of people who truly belong to him in Nanyang City can be counted on one hand.

And among them, there is no one who has the ability to become this kind of 'insurance'.

If not.

He doesn't need to let Xiong Da and Xiong Er, two 'outsiders', participate in such a secret plan.

If he had not gone through channels to confirm that Xiong Da and Xiong Er were really the subordinates of Lord Sheng Ping, Zuo Teng would have to complete the entire plan alone even if he took the risk.

After hearing all of Zuo Teng's plan, Xiong Da knocked on the stone table with one hand. After a moment, he said: "I can help you with this matter. But after this matter is completed, the credit gained..."

"Please rest assured, gentlemen, that as long as the people of Nanyang can be saved afterwards, there will be no problem even if you two take all the credit."

Before Xiong Da could finish what he said, Zuo Teng spoke with a serious face.

Unexpectedly, Xiong Da's next answer surprised Zuo Teng.

"No, County Sheriff Zuo Teng misunderstood. What I mean is that after this matter is completed, we will not take any credit. If anyone asks, County Sheriff Zuo Teng had better pretend that we have never participated in this matter."

"Why is this?"

"Haha~~ Could it be that Governor Zuo Teng has forgotten that with my master's ability, do you think we will lack this little credit?"

"Ah this..."

"In addition, compared to us, Sheriff Zuo Teng should lack this merit. If he can monopolize this merit, even if Sheriff Zuo Teng wants to continue to serve in Nanyang, it may not be impossible!

"

Having said this, Xiong Da looked at Zuo Teng quite meaningfully.

In fact, winning over Zuo Teng was one of the purposes of Xiong Da's coming to Nanyang this time. Not only Mo Jun, but even Xiong Da himself could see that this person was a capable person after spending these years getting along with Zuo Teng.

But today, the Mo family is short of such talents.

Zuo Teng saw Xiong Da's eyes and instantly understood what he meant.

It has to be said that the 'olive branch' offered by Xiong Da really made Zuo Teng's heart move. Zuo Teng naturally wanted to continue to serve as the governor of Nanyang, not for the official position, but because he hoped that after a change of environment, he could continue to guard Nanyang.

the common people of the land.

Although he did not want to participate in the "faction struggle", if the person who extended the olive branch this time was Lord Shengping, Zuo Teng felt that his principles could not be broken.

Think of this.

Zuo Teng made a decision in his mind.

"If that gentleman is in need, I am willing to do my best." Zuo Teng stood up and cupped his hands towards Xiong Da.

"Hahaha~ Mr. Zuo, you're so polite, please get up quickly."

Xiong Da laughed and quickly helped Zuo Teng up: "Then, I wish Master Zuo's plan will be successful."

······

The evening of the second day.

According to the plan, Zuo Teng took You Sima Tianlin to the Music and Dance Studio to have fun.

Talk about it.

Until last night, even Xiong Da had not guessed that the Qin army would choose to attack at this time.

As a member of Mr. Mo's core team, Xiong Ziziran also knew some inside information about Qin's upcoming attack on South Korea.

for example:

The Qin State mobilized its troops this time not as usual, but to seize a few cities and pieces of land. The real goal of the Qin State in this battle was to completely destroy South Korea.

Another example:

The reason why South Korea asked for help from the other four countries this time but did not get a response is mainly because [Luowang] intervened to sow discord within the countries. In addition, Qin State implemented the policy of 'diplomacy far away and attack close', so the other four countries have not yet received any response.

Korea is not supported.

Even the top-secret news that Nanyang County Governor ‘Zuo Teng’ had surrendered to the Qin State a long time ago, Xiong Da also learned from Lord Mo.

But this time, the timing of Qin's attack on Nanyang was really beyond Xiong Da's expectation.

After all, it was not that long ago.

Most of Qin's generals are still in Xianyang, and even the news received by Mo Jun is that Qin's current battle plan has not yet been finalized.

But now they suddenly started to march into Nanyang...

"Could it be that the previous news was also a cover-up trick released by the generals?"

Xiong Da thought.

Over the years, Xiong Da was forced to read a lot of books under Mo Jun's coercion. Compared with the simple cleverness before, Xiong Da's way of thinking is obviously more logical.

However, he only thought about it for a while, Xiong Shi did not think about it any further.

After all, no matter how this battle is fought, it won't have much impact on him.

Late at night.

Xiong Da, who was sitting in the small courtyard, saw Zuo Teng sending Tian Lin, who was obviously drunk, to the door of the general's mansion.

When he was in Nanjun before, Meng Wu, who guarded the border of Nanjun, almost never drank alcohol in the army, let alone had fun, but now the right Sima Tianlin in South Korea is so virtuous.

One can imagine.

How big is the gap between the military disciplines of Qin and South Korea?

After sending Tian Lin back to the mansion, Zuo Teng turned around and headed back to the governor's mansion. As he passed the small courtyard along the way, his eyes had regained consciousness and he nodded gently towards Xiong Da, and then the carriage disappeared into the night.
