"Have you made contact with those two Deputy Generals under Dong An's command?"
Lu Ji tapped his fingers on the desk, "Tell them, this rebellion has nothing to do with them—it's all Dong An's responsibility. As long as they can abandon the dark and turn to the light, the court will not only refrain from pursuing their liabilities but will also promote them and reward them with resources."
"I've tried this before."
Nie Yuan said helplessly, "But those people are Dong An's loyalists. Over the years, most of the court's resources have gone to the Northwest Three States, leaving the military officers of Ming State lacking in resources, and harboring grievances. Their resolve to rebel is firm; otherwise, the chaos in Ming State wouldn't have arisen."
"Getting them to turn their coats again is impossible, unless... unless Dong An dies violently. Otherwise, this war will last at least another year."
