He tilted his head slightly upward,
Zheng Fan took a breath,
and in his mind, he began to visualize the scene of Yan State's men drowning at Wang River and the Chu army on the Chu State navy ships laughing and singing Chu songs while shooting at the struggling Yan people in the water.
Zheng Fan kept repeating to himself in his heart:
Since you have done this first,
don't blame me for retaliating.
Since you chose to ally with the wild people, be prepared not to be treated as Xia people.
Everything you do has consequences.
This is your retribution, I am seeking revenge.
You are hungry,
you want food,
but no one invited you here!
Lord Zheng, who never really considered himself part of the Yan Army or Yan State, was desperately telling himself at this moment, Yan State is my home, Yan State is my home.
As for the conclusion of any alliance and the possible consequences of this matter, as well as the reaction of the Yan Emperor and other court dignitaries;
Lord Zheng couldn't be bothered to think about it, his mind was already somewhat overwhelmed at this point.
In the end,
Zheng Fan let out a low growl from his throat,
lowered his head again,
and then slowly raised it.
His eyes,
were already starting to redden.
He asked Prince Jingnan for the command token, but he didn't give it.
Actually,
Zheng Fan knew what Prince Jingnan meant.
He didn't blame Tian Wujing for having him deliver this order, carrying a "bad reputation" like this, given his limited ability, even if he wanted to take it on, others might not acknowledge him.
The only one who could give the order, and inevitably could only be that one.
Zheng Fan had actually analyzed this with the blind man a long time ago, Tian Wujing couldn't possibly betray Yan, but his support for him was a bit excessive.
Of course, being strongly backed by his immediate superior, one of the top three powerhouses in Yan State, naturally felt great.
Now,
he wanted him to mobilize troops even without the Tiger Talisman,
failure,
that was also normal;
after all, wasn't it because there was no Tiger Talisman!
If he truly couldn't manage it, then Lord Jingnan would have to step in personally to give the order.
His order would definitely not be a problem,
let alone ordering the killing of these Chu State prisoners,
even directly ordering the Jingnan army to march on Yanjing to grab that throne wouldn't be a problem either.
Back when Dujuan just died,
Chen Yang and several other generals knelt in Lord Jingnan's mansion,
do you think they were keeping vigil with Lord Jingnan?
They were actually expressing their attitudes to Tian Wujing, it was a petition, it could also be seen as a call to battle.
And if I,
could mobilize the Jingnan army without having the Tiger Talisman,
then later,
once Prince Jingnan confirmed it,
the impact on me,
would be enormous!
Because that would mean, he, Zheng Fan, essentially gained the troop mobilization authority recognized by Prince Jingnan...…!
Once you've got one, you might get two,
if someday, there arises any special circumstance,
he truly could...
Of course, the prerequisite is, you have to manage to do it!
You can rely on your reputation, your military achievements, your influence within the army,
you could also rely on your status as a favorite in Prince Jingnan's eyes,
even,
some people vaguely know,
the young prince, who is he being taken care of by!
Yes,
Tian Wujing was very right,
compared to taking the initiative to order the execution of prisoners, thoroughly antagonizing the Chu people, with all those negative impacts,
successfully standing on the stage as a "spokesperson
