To be frank, Zhao Kai still hoped to cause some trouble for General Feng Kezhi, aiming to strip the Great General of some of his power.
However, if it meant trading the southern oil fields and the vast territories in the southeast just for an opportunity to undermine the authority of the Great General, Zhao Kai wasn't willing to do so.
The price was simply too steep.
So, he exhaled, adjusted his mood, and said, "Leave the affairs of the southeast to Zhao Chen…"
He paused, then continued, "As for you, Great General… I ask that you redeem yourself through meritorious deeds and rescue General Qian Jinhang!"
"Your servant obeys the command! I shall do my utmost to rescue Qian Jinhang… and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command!" General Feng Kezhi bowed his head in obedience. He certainly knew that Zhao Kai was not really concerned about Qian Jinhang but rather about the perimeter of Xicong, those hundreds of thousands of soldiers of his Dahua Empire!
