With money, provisions, popular support, and territory in hand, the only concern in the early years was the central government's wariness, hence the continuous caution. This time, the Yan people attacked Qian State, fighting their way to the imperial capital. The Qian Emperor issued the King's Order, and it can be said that the prestige of Qian State's central authority has been utterly swept away. Prestige, this thing, seems useless but actually has its uses. Once Zu Zhuming returns, you just watch. The Zu family army will certainly no longer hold back; recruiting soldiers and expanding their strength is an inevitable matter. I have met Zu Zhuming. He appears gentle and possesses the air of a cultured commander, but in reality, he is a dragon among men, with great depth and cunning. People who have drifted at sea—much like you Yan people galloping across the desert—having seen the vastness of the sky and sea, their hearts naturally grow wilder.
