"... The Heroic Guard Camp roster lists fifty thousand soldiers. The actual troop strength is around forty-one thousand. In other words, there is a twenty percent empty ration."
"When the military pay was being distributed, I was watching from the side, counting silently in my heart. I was worried the Left General would play tricks, making soldiers queue repeatedly to receive pay, so I made sure to remember the look of each squad leader. Fortunately, the Left General didn't do that."
"So, this figure should be correct."
Qin Hu carefully reported, Jiang Shaohua chuckled, "I want to understand the details of each army, and the Left General also wants to use this opportunity to test me. There will inevitably be instances of taking empty rations, and every army has them, just varying in amount."
"He didn't play tricks because he wants to see my reaction."
