Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 412: Chapter 181: Ying Zheng Personally Teaches Literacy, Stirring All!

Within Zhangtai Palace!

"Who do you think will be the first to breach Daliang?"

Ying Zheng asked with a bit of amusement as he looked at Yu Liao.

"On the battlefield, situations change endlessly."

"It’s not something I can predict."

"However, on the surface, the strength of the Hangu Pass Camp seems stronger. After all, seven or eight out of ten troops in Wu’an Military Camp are restructured surrendered soldiers. Even if they have combat power, they are not true Qin Sharp Warriors." Yu Liao replied with a smile.

"It seems."

"Yu Qing is more inclined toward Hangu." Ying Zheng laughed.

"It’s not a bias, but rather a fact." Yu Liao smiled.

The reason why people like Wang Wan later did not submit a petition to let Wu’an Military Camp recuperate is fundamentally because the Hangu Pass Camp has a higher chance of victory.

This time, the credit for the conquest will certainly not be Zhao Feng’s.

As long as the credit doesn’t fall on Zhao Feng, he can be suppressed.

Preventing Zhao Feng from advancing through military merit, preventing him from being promoted further.

After all, Zhao Feng is now Protector-General, and moving up, that’s Grand Commandant!

This is above all Military Commanders, having the authority to command all camps and holding half the Tiger Talisman, just below one person but above all others.

In the past, Bai Qi reached such a position.

The head of the Military Officials, wielding the power of a million troops.

This position is even higher than the Nine Ministers.

Of course.

The former position of Chancellor was also comparable to this Grand Commandant, one head of Civil Officials and the other head of Military Officials.

But the current position of Chancellor can’t compare; at this moment, the power of the Chancellor isn’t even as much as one of the Nine Ministers, having been greatly weakened and forced into Left Minister and Right Chancellor.

After all.

Ying Zheng didn’t want another Lv Buwei with too much power.

He might have respect for his former Zhong Fu, but such power is not permissible at court.

Ying Zheng smiled, but his face was full of confidence: "I think the Wu’an Military Camp will surprise everyone."

"It seems the Great King has great confidence in General Zhao Feng." Yu Liao chuckled.

"Since Zhao Feng enlisted, I haven’t seen him lose a single battle."

"Even when he initially mentioned the strategy of the Penal Battalion, neither the court nor the world approved."

"Yet he led the Penal Battalion to achieve immense military success."

"If he could do it then, he can do it now." Ying Zheng said with great confidence.

Ying Zheng is very confident in his son’s abilities.

In seeking to elevate his son to the position of Crown Prince, military power is indispensable.

"Listening to the Great King, I also believe that General Zhao Feng has a good chance at being the first to conquer Wei."

"After all, General Zhao Feng commands three main camps and has a Cavalry of a hundred thousand." Yu Liao also smiled in agreement.

At this moment!

The sound of crisp footsteps approached.

"Grandpa."

"I brought my sister."

"Delicious food, we want tasty food."

A clear and adorable voice rang from outside the hall.

Immediately.

The figures of two little ones quickly ran into the hall.

Outside, no one dared to stop them.

These two little ones were Zhao Qi and Zhao Ling.

Seeing how familiarly they ran into Zhangtai Palace, it was clear they had been many times.

Even Zhao Gao, who served outside, followed them in cautiously, not daring to be disrespectful.

Since a few weeks ago, when Ying Zheng suddenly summoned Madam Zhao Feng and her children into the palace, he had taken a liking to these two little ones, even granting them tokens for palace entry, allowing them to come to Zhangtai Palace whenever they wished.

Originally, everyone thought this was just another form of favor from Ying Zheng to Zhao Feng, implying a bit of a warning, after all, Zhao Feng commanded three hundred thousand troops outside.

But as time passed, these two little ones came almost every few days, and more frequently each time.

At first, Zhao Gao thought Ying Zheng would be angry, as having these two little ones disturb him daily while he handled petitions was too much.

Indeed.

Zhao Gao even prepared to plead for the two little ones, not because he liked them, but to gain Zhao Feng’s favor, hoping to draw Zhao Feng’s support for Hu Hai. After all, Zhao Feng had always been an elusive target for drawing in.

In Zhao Gao’s view, Zhao Feng’s two children might be the breakthrough.

But it turned out Zhao Gao had overthought.

Zhao Feng’s pair of children indeed came many times, even often climbed right onto the table where Ying Zheng reviewed petitions, yet Ying Zheng showed no anger and was even very kind.

No matter how many times they came, Ying Zheng always had a smile on his face.

This was something Zhao Gao, who had served for many years, had never witnessed.

If he hadn’t served alongside Ying Zheng for so long, Zhao Gao might have thought these two were Ying Zheng’s own children.

But of course, this was impossible.

Years of service taught Zhao Gao that the Great King could not possibly have any illegitimate children outside.

In his view, this was another display of favor from the Great King to Zhao Feng.

Even Zhao Gao held this belief, so naturally, others understood as well.

The extent of the Great King’s favor toward Zhao Feng had reached a new level.

Yu Liao turned his head, looking at Zhao Qi and Zhao Ling who had run into the hall, with a glint of surprise in his eyes.

"Come here."

Ying Zheng, with a warm smile, beckoned to the two little ones.

Coming and going as regulars, the two little ones weren’t afraid of Ying Zheng at all anymore, and they familiarly ran to his side, being immediately cuddled by Ying Zheng.

"You didn’t call me?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.

"Grandpa."

The two Zhao siblings sweetly called out.
