Young Commander Shang cupped his fist. "I understand Father."
"Do you have anything to ask?" General Shang was more patience in guiding his son because he wanted his son to succeed him in the future. All in all, he was hoping that Young Commander Shang could get better with his guidance.
"Father, why does Young Commander Chi assigned with us. Do you wish to use his presence to disturb General Chi?" Young Commander Shang wanted to know about this.
If the father and son cared for each other and one of them had strong feelings for the others, wouldn't it actually give birth to the thought of betrayal. With General Chi already betraying Zhang Xu Kingdom because of his failure, was Zhang Xu Kingdom not afraid of the second one?
"Are you worried?" General Shang arched his eyebrows.
In fact, many people had the same thoughts. After all, some father and child's relationship was quite strong and with filial piety being one of the value that was highly respected in this era, this arrangement was truly against the norm.
Were they forcing the father and son to break the supposed filial piety?
"Yes."
"You don't have to worry so much. The worst possible scenario will not happen with that worthless child." General Shang was not worried that Chi Song Hui will betray Zhang Xu Kingdom.
Chi Song Hui was useless.
At least, in terms of his capability on the battlefield, he was not much better than many others who were also competing on this stage. Without the education and support from the Jian Family, Chi Song Hui actually worth nothing.
It was also because of this that General Shang didn't care too much about this young man.
"Whether they still have feelings or not, it's enough to have his presence to disturb the battlefield and cloud his father's judgement."
From what General Shang could see, General Chi was more sentimental than his son. With his first son had died, would he bear to lose his second son and cut his own lineage with his own hand?
General Chi loved his wife so much back then and willing to listen to her.
It was actually quite rare in this era, but General Chi was indeed the oddity and even said that he was not willing to find another woman aside from his wife. But his wife is from Jian Family and not willing to leave Jian Family when General Chi was banished.
That was what led to the separation of General Chi and his wife.
After so many years, no one had heard of General Chi taking any concubines. While his first son had a lot of concubines and his second son spend most of his time in Red District, General Chi himself did neither.
Thus, General Shang knew that General Chi didn't have any intention to get married or have another child with another woman.
In that case, his lineage could only be passed down through Chi Song Hui.
Would he not care at all for the only son he left in this world?
It was a gamble.
Prime Minister Lei had said to General Shang that there were still some possibilities, but by provoking General Chi, they might be able to pull him back again. It was just some possibility, but what was wrong with using the useless child to provoke General Chi's feeling?
General Shang looked at his son. "If you want to win in the war, you have to be ready to do anything. This kind of provocation is just a small matter."
Young Commander Shang felt chills on his back for a moment before he nodding. "I understand, Father."
To the point of provoking the relationship between father and son….
But the current situation of General Chi was indeed rare. If they didn't make use of this advantage for their own benefit, would they just leave the chance slip by?
War is cruel.
Only the winner had the right to say something.
If they lost…
They will lose everything.

<Fei Yang Kingdom's Side, Long Qian Xing, Nan Luo, and the others' location>
"Ah, Young Commander Mu is back?" Nan Luo was surprised when he heard that Mu Sheng Xi was back without being able to give good result.
Feng Ao Kuai nodded. "When you are all busy on the battlefield, he came here following the route we left behind. Young Commander Chi from Zhang Xu Kingdom ran away in the middle and the two armies both have quite significant losses."
"I see."
Nan Luo leaned back on the tree behind him while taking the dried meat. "I guess that just meant we're going to fight harder tomorrow, isn't it?"
"I mean you. My task is to protect the headquarters and so far, they didn't seem to notice the whereabouts of our headquarters yet." Feng Ao Kuai also took the dried meat.
"Mhm, I mean, we don't even know their headquarters either."
"I know the location of their headquarters." Long Qian Xing walked closer to the group and smiled faintly. "Going deep into the forest had its merit too."
"General Xing," Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai quickly greeted the other party while Nan Hua was still sitting at the side. It seemed that she was too lazy to maintain the polite pretense on the surface after interacting for some time.
"Continue eating." Long Qian Xing took a seat beside Nan Hua and looked at the young woman beside him. "Would you like me to tell you the location of the headquarters so you can head there?"
"General Xing, please don't joke around. You know that there are only 2000 men under me. If I were to go towards their headquarters, we might not be able to break their defense." Nan Luo looked at Long Qian Xing helplessly.
Even if the soldiers were divided to three separate locations, there was no way Zhang Xu Kingdom would leave their headquarters empty. There must be a lot of soldiers over there and his 2000 men soldiers would not be enough to deal with them.
