Chapter 406: Chapter 179: A Plot Against Zhao Feng! Princess Yan: Is Zhao Feng Really This Handsome?

As for Li You!

Zhao Feng didn’t really regard him too highly.

After all.

He was merely arranged into the army by Li Si’s request to King of Qin, emotionally, Zhao Feng had no ties with him, rationally, Zhao Feng had risen from humble beginnings, promoted to his current position through battle merits, not to mention there were many meritorious generals who looked down on Li You, truth be told, Zhao Feng didn’t think much of him either.

However.

If Li You could prove his capability in commanding troops, and win over the generals in the army through his capabilities, that would be his own asset.

"What the Lord said is very true." Zhang Han nodded in agreement.

When it came to Li You.

Zhang Han still harbored some wariness.

After all.

Li You was an outsider.

Whereas he and Tu Sui were Zhao Feng’s confidants.

The reason King of Qin arranged for Li You to come was also with a sense of balance, and even a sense of surveillance.

After all, Li You was the son of Court Minister Li Si.

Zhang Han and Tu Sui indeed hadn’t grown too close to Li You.

The true core circle of generals in the Wu’an Military Camp, Li You couldn’t enter it at the moment.

"Of course."

"Those generals might not be convinced by Li You, but they cannot defy his military orders either."

"If they disobey military orders, I can’t protect them either."

For the sake of those old brothers, Zhao Feng added a reminder.

"Rest assured, my Lord."

"Nine out of ten generals in the army are old brothers who have followed you all the way, though they are unconvinced, they will not defy military orders." Zhang Han responded immediately.

"There are no disturbances in the Penal Battalion, are there?" Zhao Feng asked again.

This time, the proportion of reorganizing the Penal Battalion was somewhat large, a total of 230,000 men.

The Penal Battalion outnumbered the Qin Sharp Soldiers.

Only.

Zhao Feng had another 100,000 Logistics Army under his command to deploy.

"Rest assured, my Lord."

"The origins of these Penal Battalion soldiers have all been documented."

"Not only stored in the army but also in the County Mansion."

"Almost all Penal Battalion soldiers comply with the military orders, not daring to defy them, for they dare not risk the lives of their family and children."

"Of course."

"There are also those who do not respect orders and harbor thoughts of desertion."

"For those people, I have directly ordered for warnings by public execution, if anyone dares to step forward, they shall be killed, their family exterminated." Zhang Han said coldly.

Having followed Zhao Feng for so many years, Zhang Han naturally was also prompt and resolute, understanding when to use an iron fist and when to show mercy.

"Instruct Tu Sui and the others to act likewise."

"Deal with those who have ulterior motives." Zhao Feng nodded, not asking more questions.

These matters.

Were sufficiently handled by Zhang Han and the others.

230,000 Penal Battalion.

Indeed needed better reorganization.

Threatening them with the lives of their family may be a bit ruthless, but it could yield extraordinary effects.

After all, they were already defeated troops, already of servile status, Zhao Feng provided them an opportunity to become human again, if they didn’t cherish it, they had no one to blame but themselves.

...

Yan, Ji City!

"Great King."

"Zhao Feng has sent word."

"Saying the King of Qin has agreed to allow him to marry our Princess Yan."

"How should this matter be handled?" Qing Qin looked hesitantly at the King of Yan.

At this moment.

The King of Yan’s expression was also fluctuating, clearly, he was quite displeased.

"Zhao Feng."

"Though young, has now played a trick on me."

"For no reason, I have to give him a daughter." The King of Yan said gloomily.

"Indeed, I thought too simply of this Zhao Feng."

"However."

"Perhaps this is not necessarily a bad thing."

"At least, our Royal Family is now related to Zhao Feng, if anything happens in the future, perhaps Zhao Feng might have some consideration." Qing Qin hesitantly said.

"Qing Qing, you think too much."

"Zhao Feng, he is a ruthless protagonist."

"Now he is called the God of Slaughter by the Various Countries, as ruthless as Bai Qi, his methods as formidable as Bai Qi."

"He wouldn’t have any scruples over a woman."

"This time we lost out."

"But there’s nothing we can do, the words have been spoken." The King of Yan sighed.

Appearing to have seen through Zhao Feng completely.

"Great King, which princess do you plan to marry off to Zhao Feng?" Qing Qin tentatively asked.

"Alas, among those of suitable age, only Wuyang remains." The King of Yan sighed.

"Princess Wuyang?"

"She is the Great King’s most cherished princess, and she has good relations with the Crown Prince, marrying her off now might stir up waves." Qing Qin frowned.

"My edict is not something that traitorous son can comment on."

"Besides."

"Wuyang..."

The King of Yan’s eyes glinted with a chilly light.

Then.

"Someone, summon Wuyang to the hall for me."

The King of Yan spoke to a temple official nearby.

"This servant obeys." The temple official immediately left in haste.

"General Qing Qin, go make the preparations."

"Tomorrow you will personally escort the princess to her marriage." The King of Yan said again to Qing Qin.

"I accept the decree." Qing Qin bowed and then retreated.

Shortly after.

A girl of tender age, adorned in palace attire, entered the King of Yan’s grand hall.

"This child greets father king."

Upon arrival, Princess Wuyang curtsied and bowed to the King of Yan.

"Wuyang, sit."

The King of Yan’s gaze softened as he looked at his daughter before him.

"Thank you, father king." Wuyang sat to the side, gazing at the King of Yan respectfully.

But then.

Wuyang took the initiative to speak: "Father, you have chosen me to marry, haven’t you?"

Upon hearing this.

The King of Yan sighed: "Wuyang, your father has wronged you."

"Now my Yan faces internal and external strife, our national power is greatly diminished."

"If it hadn’t been for the intervention of Qin back then, perhaps my Yan would have been destroyed by Zhao state. Now, although the state survives, the treasury is empty, military power weakened, Zhao state is no more, yet Qin occupies the Zhao state’s territory, becoming even stronger."
