The King of the Warring States Era - C32

Firstly, he wanted to express his anger. After being ambushed by the Qin Army and taking away the hostage, it was simply equivalent to slapping him in the face. If Chen Ling had not captured him again, General Dong would probably have been punished by King Wei.

Secondly, Dong Zhiqi wanted to take this opportunity to anger Gan Mao intentionally. Sweeping away the depression in his heart, he emphasized that he had to send him off to Wei Du Da Liang tomorrow, destroying any hope that Gan Mao would have of being saved.

“Stop talking nonsense!”

“This subordinate accepts the order!” A Guard Captain led a guard and escorted Gan Mao to the inner circle of the army camp.

Dong Zhiqi looked at Chen Ling and sighed: “Chen Ling, follow me into the camp. If there’s anything I want to ask you, the other generals should return back to the camp to reorganize your horses and go back to sleep.”

“Here!” The generals cupped their fists in salute before returning to their respective camps to arrange for the troops to move out.

Chen Ling followed Dong Zhiqi into the handsome tent. Other than him, there was also advisor Lu Wei, who was also a renowned scholar in the six nations and was proficient in magic, expert in diplomacy, and military affairs. Although it was not a big achievement, but it was enough for him to become a strategist in the three armies.

After the three of them sat in the main seat, Dong Zhiqi could not help but ask: “Chen Ling, how did you capture Gan Mao?”

Chen Ling thought in his heart. He couldn’t just say that he had guessed indiscriminately, right? If he said it like that, it would be hard to believe and it might even lead to suspicion. Thus, he tried to find an excuse: “Reporting to General, when I was talking to Gan Mao, I faintly realised that he did not care about my safety at all, and was even quite confident in his words and actions. At that time, this subordinate suspected that Gan Mao had thought of a plan to escape and be rescued.

“Furthermore, when this subordinate was infiltrating the hundred thousand Qin Army Great Formation, I had almost lost my life in the midst of the chaotic army due to the leaked information. From this, I guessed that there were definitely some spies in the Wei Army Camp, and they were very courageous and cooperative, and there were also many strategists and strategists in the army, they would definitely come to rescue Gan Mao, and when the right camp and the main camp were attacked by the Qin Army, only the left camp was as calm as usual.

“Oh, so that’s how it was. This time, I accidentally hit the nail right on the head, allowing you to once again capture Gan Mao, protecting my Wei Army’s prestige, shattering Qin Army’s beautiful dream of saving the Commander, and once again increasing our morale. It’s worthy of a reward, this general will definitely report this to the Third Prince, and in the future, he will make you an exception and launch you!”

Lu Wei also sighed at the side: “Academy Officer Chen is meticulous in his thinking and has a unique vision, from the minute details, he can deduce the enemy’s strategy, it is very valuable, although it is by mistake, but most of it is Academy Officer Chen’s wit, as long as you train in the army more, you will definitely become General Dong’s right-hand man in the future.”

Dong Zhiqi nodded his head: “Mr Lu is right, you have done a great deed tonight, this general has promoted you to Lieutenant, other than two thousand-man squadrons, I have also assigned you a thousand-man squadron, and let you command three thousand troops, Chen Ling, are you confident that you can do it?”

Chen Ling got up and cupped his fists: “This general will not disappoint you, I will serve the Great Wei!”

Dong Zhiqi nodded his head in satisfaction, and spoke sincerely: “Currently, Gan Mao has always been a thorn in my side, and I plan to send someone to escort him to the Daliang City tomorrow. This road is eight hundred miles away, and we will also need to cross the Yellow River, and once we reach the south coast, although we will be on the official road, and the army will be safe and sound, but if the escort team only has a few thousand people, maybe the Qin Army will send someone to stop them, and we might even encounter bandits on the way.

Chen Ling’s heart skipped a beat: General Dong actually wanted me to escort Gan Mao to the Daliang City, on this trip of 800 miles, there will definitely be bandits and powerhouses of the Qin Nation making ambushes on the way, but this is also an opportunity, if I can bring the troops out of the military camp, I can understand the local customs and practices of the Battle Country, inquire about the situation of the Dukes, and pave the way for my rise in power.

Moreover, along the way, he could continue to train in martial arts, strengthen the training of his soldiers, increase his combat ability, and form an elite army. He could also take a look at the Daliang City and the capital city of Wei Kingdom. And how extravagant was the life of a noble king of Warring States Age? What was so special about ancient beauties?

A series of thoughts flashed across Chen Ling’s mind, giving him the urge to suddenly go out and adventure.

Chen Ling did not dare to voice out too much. Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, he calmly replied: “I must complete my mission and bring General Gan Mao to the imperial city. It’s just that this trip will take me a long time.
