Xiahe Village, the Lord's Manor.
Zou Lang, the lord of Xiahe Village, frowned at the two trembling envoys who had just returned from Da Liu Town.
Just moments ago, the envoys had brought back the results of their mission to Da Liu Town.
The news was not good.
Although Da Liu Town had agreed to withdraw its troops, it was unwilling to return the grain fields it had seized. It even demanded that they support a general from Da Liu Town to become the commander of the allied reinforcements.
The Zhao family of Shanwu City had requested all the towns in Shanwu County to send troops to their aid, and this news had long since spread. Willing or not, the various towns and villages in Shanwu County had all dispatched some troops to support Shanwu City. Zou Lang coveted the position of commander for this army and wanted to contend for it himself.
But now, Da Liu Town's demand was clearly telling him to give up on becoming the commander. How could he possibly accept that?
