Chapter 137 – Pretty Peace??
After the persuasion and a bit of framing, more than 40,000 Ganling citizens agreed to follow Tong back to Julu City because Tong promised them a job, a resident, free food, and tax-free for a year.
Ten thousand people insisted that they would remain in Ganling as it was their birthplace. They wanted to stay and protect the land of their ancestors.
Tong respected the decisions of the latter population. Thus, he fulfilled his promise by having his soldiers rebuilding their lost houses. The idle infantries demolished the burned houses and started repairing the city.
The ten thousand logistic troops were ordered to escort the citizens back. They left the city in a hurry after Tong had announced that Sun Jian Army was spotted in Ganling territories.
