Wu Kuang hadn't been randomly assigned to his post in Ning'an Prefecture after pulling some strings. In fact, he had come here under the guidance of Nie Yuanliu.
At the time, Nie Yuanliu had just taken up his post in the army. His foundation was unstable, he struggled to win over his men, and many of the arrogant and unruly soldiers were uncooperative. Wu Kuang was the first to pledge his loyalty, and so they formed a bond.
Nie Yuanliu, in turn, looked out for him, and their friendship grew deeper.
Over this period, while he seemed to have given Chen Sheng full authority, he was actually busy with his own affairs. First, he was investigating the details of those within the Military Preparation Camp who were colluding with the three great families.
Second, he wanted to use his connection with Nie Yuanliu to build relationships in the Prefecture City.
And now, his efforts were beginning to bear fruit.
