His Majesty previously permitted me to recruit 5,000 troops, but I only have 3,000 in my hands right now, which is still quite a bit short. I intend to select a batch of suitable young men from the surrendered Huang Jin troops to incorporate into my Black Armor Army, and I ask Administrator Qin to facilitate this;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Additionally, I will have to trouble you, my lord Administrator, regarding the grain and military equipment for the upcoming period.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan then turned to say to Qin Jie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The same goes for me! The losses from the two sieges were very high; soldiers, military equipment, and grain all need to be replenished, and I ask Administrator Qin to provide reinforcements!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qiu also followed up by saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ci also looked at Qin Jie with eager eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was nominally Qin Jie’s subordinate, his ambition was not limited to this; he also wanted to replenish and expand his own troops!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the power held in one's own hands is truly one's own power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is not a problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Qin Jie nodded decisively: \"It just so happens that in recapturing Wancheng this time, we seized quite a lot of military equipment, weapons, and grain from the Huang Jin army; supplying you all is absolutely no problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are also seventy or eighty thousand surrendered troops, and I don't even know how to handle them. It would be better if you could select some away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these surrendered troops are not handled well, it could lead to major problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can't just bury them all alive, can you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must know that the vast majority of them were coerced by the Huang Jin army into joining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not handled well, it would be very troublesome for him to govern Nanyang well later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then many thanks, my lord Administrator!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan and the others immediately cupped their hands to express their gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they sent people to select suitable soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is a pity that we didn't find much of the wealth that Zhang Zhang Mancheng and his group had plundered;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard from the gentry in the city that Zhang Zhang Mancheng had slaughtered many gentry and powerful clans over these past few days and plundered a massive amount of wealth. I wonder if you, General Su, found any?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Jie appeared to be asking the three of them, but his gaze was mainly focused on Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Su Xuan was the first to enter the city, and they were all several hours late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this wealth truly existed, Su Xuan was the most suspicious person to have taken it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qiu and Zhao Ci also couldn't help but look at Su Xuan upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You aren't suspecting me, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Su Xuan spread his hands speechlessly and said: \"I only have those three thousand troops under my command, and I haven't left the city either; I’ve been fighting everywhere, so where would I have the time to search for and transport any wealth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, since it is a massive amount of wealth, it certainly couldn't be transported away easily, nor could it be hidden;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In such a short time, not only did I have to take the West City Gate, the Administrator's Mansion, the South City, and the East City, but I also had to constantly clear out countless Huang Jin troops. Where would I have the time to do these things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And where would I store it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My army doesn't even have a decent base yet, does it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn't your conscience hurt to suspect me like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Xuan spoke, a flash of anger appeared on his face, and his expression darkened, as if he were very angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qin Jie and the others heard this, it was indeed true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan truly did not have the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, they had sent people to check the temporary base of the Black Armor Army, and there was simply no place to hide such a large sum of wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could say the Black Armor soldiers carried some on them, which they believed, but to transport it all away and hide it was simply impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this through, the three of them hurriedly apologized: \"Forgive us! Forgive us! We were also overwhelmed and misunderstood General Su!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now it seems that perhaps this wealth was long ago quietly transported out of the city and buried by Zhang Zhang Mancheng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Xu Qiu added: \"By the way! I heard that tens of thousands of Huang Jin troops escaped through the North City Gate; perhaps they were the ones who took that wealth away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1587,"2026-06-16T22:46:39.318Z","2026-06-16T22:58:39.531Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d55901cfa3b599aa2a255583063cc8121fd123e0beb4972613e7f60fd9c6c264","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-52","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-50",467,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-cover.jpg"]
