Chapter 199 Insurance and Solicitation
"Is it here?"
"Yes!"
At night, in an unremarkable courtyard in Nanyang town, Xiong Er was sitting under a tree, holding a piece of mutton, his mouth full of oil.
And not far away.
Xiong Da and Zuo Teng, governor of Nanyang County, were sitting at a stone table facing each other, brewing a pot of tea, and staring at a tall building next door.
"This is the Nanyang General's Mansion. The two of you must be aware of the current situation in South Korea. Now all the military power in South Korea is in the hands of the Great General Ji Wuye. Although I am the governor of Nanyang County, I can't get my hands on the army."
"But if you want to interfere with Nanyang's city defense, Tian Lin, the right Sima guarding Nanyang, is also a character you cannot avoid."
"I used to drink and have 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 relax the city defense the next morning, and I will replace him and create for the Qin army. Opportunities are wide open."
"But there are still risks in this plan. Although Tian Lin is stupid, he is not incompetent. When the war breaks out, Tian Lin will definitely react immediately. If he is allowed to arrive at the city defense in time, maybe it will add some variables out of thin air."
"So just to be on the safe side, I would like to ask the two of you to keep an eye on Tian Lin here. It is best to delay for a while when an accident happens."
Making Xiong Da and Xiong Er this "insurance" was also a plan that Zuo Teng thought of temporarily.
I am ashamed to say it.
Although Zuo Teng is now the governor of Nanyang County, it is a pity that in the entire Nanyang City, there are people who really belong to him and can be counted on one hand.
Among them, there is not a single person who has the ability to become this kind of 'insurance'.
If not.
He also didn't have to let the two 'outsiders', Xiong Da and Xiong Er, participate in such secret plans.
If he hadn't already gone through the channels to confirm that Xiong Da and Xiong Er were really subordinates of that Lord Shengping, Zuo Teng would have to complete the whole plan alone even if he took the risk.
After listening to Zuo Teng's entire plan, Xiong Da knocked on the stone table with one hand, and said after a while, "I can help you with this matter. But after this matter is completed, the credit you will get..."
"Please rest assured, the two gentlemen, as long as the people of Nanyang can be saved afterwards, there will be no problem even if the two take all the credit."
Before Xiong Da finished speaking, Zuo Teng spoke with a serious face.
Unexpectedly, Xiong Da's answer next surprised Zuo Teng.
"No, Governor Zuo Teng misunderstood. What I mean is that after this matter is completed, we don't want any credit for it. If someone asks, Governor Zuo Teng had better pretend that I have never participated in this matter."
"Why is this?"
"Hehe~~ Sheriff Zuo Teng has forgotten, with my lord's ability, do you think we will lack this credit?"
"Ah this..."
"In addition, compared to us, Zuo Teng County Sheriff should lack this credit even more. If he can monopolize this merit, even if Zuo Teng County Sheriff wants to continue to work in Nanyang, it may not be impossible! "
Speaking of this, Xiong Da looked at Zuo Teng meaningfully.
In fact, wooing Zuo Teng was also one of Xiong Da's goals for coming to Nanyang this time.Not only Mo Jun, even Xiong Da himself can see that this person is a talented person who can do practical things after getting along with Zuo Teng for these years.
But today's Mo family lacks such talents.
Seeing Xiong Da's eyes, Zuo Teng instantly understood what he meant.
I have to say that the 'olive branch' thrown by Xiong Da really moved Zuo Teng's heart. Zuo Teng naturally wanted to continue to serve as Nanyang County Sheriff, not because of his official position, but because he hoped that after a change of environment, he could continue to guard Nanyang. the common people of the land.
And although he didn't want to participate in the 'factional struggle', if the person who offered the olive branch this time was that Lord Shengping, Zuo Teng felt that his principles could not be broken.
thought here.
Zuo Teng had a decision in his mind.
"If that lord needs it, I'm willing to do my best." Zuo Teng stood up and cupped his hands towards Xiong Da.
"Hahaha~~ Mr. Zuo is too polite, please hurry up."
Xiong Da laughed, and quickly helped Zuo Teng up: "Then next, I wish Mr. Zuo's plan will come to fruition."

night of the second day.
According to the plan, Zuo Teng took You Sima Tianlin to the music and dance workshop for fun.
speak up.
Until last night, even Xiong Da hadn't guessed that Qin Jun would choose to attack at this time.
As Mo Jun's core team, Xiong Tianran also knows some inside information about Qin's upcoming attack on South Korea.
such as:
Qin's deployment of troops this time was not the same as usual, it was just to seize a few cities and a few pieces of land.The real goal of Qin's battle is to completely destroy South Korea.
Another example:
The reason South Korea asked for help from the other four countries this time, but did not receive a response, is mainly because [Luo Wang] intervened to sow discord among the countries.Coupled with Qin's policy of 'distanced friendship and close attack', the other four countries have not supported South Korea so far.
Even the top-secret news that 'Zuo Teng', the governor of Nanyang County, had already joined the Qin State, Xiong Da also knew from Mo Jun's mouth.
But this time, the timing of Qin's attack on Nanyang was really beyond Xiong Da's expectations.
After all, it was not so long ago.
Most of Qin's generals are still in Xianyang, and even Mo Jun received the news that Qin's current battle plan has not yet been finalized.
But now they suddenly start marching into Nanyang...
"Could it be that the previous news was also a cover-up released by the generals?"
Xiong Da pondered.
Xiong Da was forced to read a lot of books under Mo Jun's coercion these years.Xiong Da now has a slightly more logical way of thinking than the simple wit of the past.
However, he only thought about it for a while, and Xiongshi didn't think about it any further.
After all, no matter how this battle is fought, it will not have much impact on him.
Late at night.
Sitting in that small courtyard, Xiong Da saw Zuo Teng take Tian Lin, who was obviously unconscious, to the gate 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 seeking pleasure, but now the right Sima Tianlin in South Korea is so virtuous.
Can be imagined.
How big is the gap in military discipline between Qin and Han.
After sending Tian Lin back to the mansion, Zuo Teng turned around and returned to the sheriff's mansion. When he passed the small courtyard along the way, his eyes that had recovered from his sober eyes nodded slightly to Xiong Da, and then the carriage disappeared into the night.
