Chapter 1070 - 893, The Pioneer Tide
At the gates of Ganzhou City, Zhu Jianzhong and Pang Guang rode their horses side by side, their faces still flushed from drinking too much wine.
After riding some distance from the city gate, a gust of wind blew by, and both men shook their heads, their minds completely cleared.
Zhu Jianzhong looked at Pang Guang uncertainly, "Did we agree to something with Xiao Yeyang that we shouldn’t have agreed to?"
Pang Guang didn’t reply; instead, he raised his hand and slapped his own mouth, looking immensely regretful.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Jianzhong understood everything.
Pang Guang regretfully said, "It seems like we’ve been tricked by Xiao Yeyang."
However, Zhu Jianzhong smiled, "Tricked? I don’t think so. Didn’t we get the high-yield grain seeds? As long as we survive this year, tomorrow, the soldiers at the guard station will have enough food."
Pang Guang hummed, "Xiao Yeyang did give us the high-yield grain seeds, but look at what he took from us. Your Jinwei Guard is fine, just requiring two thousand horses, but my Lanwu Guard has to transfer twenty thousand border troops to the Gan State Guard, and they can’t be old or weak."
Zhu Jianzhong looked at Pang Guang, "You should be satisfied. Transferring twenty thousand border troops to the Gan State Guard means you don’t have to worry about their provisions anymore; this is reducing your burden, isn’t it?"
"The Lanwu Guard doesn’t border Xiliao, and your border troops were already a reserve army. Now that Xiao Yeyang needs them, he has also issued an order from the Five Armies Headquarters; stop complaining."
