How could the Nanming court not see the huge benefits of this to Nanming? Then as long as they hold the Hangu Pass firmly, Nanming will give them whatever price they offer.

Chen Wangwu's heart was beating wildly with excitement. He looked at the group of sweating staff officers in front of the map, watching them busy contacting the front and arranging resistance. He smiled secretly in his heart: I spent the first half of my life working for the Qing Dynasty.

, you must win them over and promise them prosperity and wealth. When you ask for a price for yourself, you must not forget to ask for a share for them...
