Mao Mingcai immediately said:
"This is only natural, I will immediately send someone back to open the treasury to reward the soldiers. However, it is better not to trouble two masters for one task. I request Lord Pingye to make a trip and distribute the rewards."
The relationship between Mao Mingcai and Zheng Fan is quite peculiar now;
During the day, they are at odds, with civil and military opposition, but now they seem to be drunk from the winds of Jin land.
Of course, the reason Mao Mingcai said this was not necessarily to deliberately befriend Zheng Fan, or at least not entirely. It was to preemptively shut Situ Yu's mouth.
After Yan people took over Cheng State, they naturally isolated Prince Cheng's mansion from the Jin military forces. Prince Cheng could indulge in debauchery within Ying Capital City if he wished, but he absolutely could not touch military power again.
Rewarding soldiers to win their favor is certainly not something that could be given to Situ Yu.
