Zhao Ming was never one for sweet words; he was always sharp-tongued. Together with his advisor Ji Yuan, the two of them left Governor Zhang speechless, nearly causing him to faint from anger.
However, in the end, Governor Zhang did not faint, so Zhao Ming continued to provoke him, saying directly, "Governor Zhang, before Inspector He passed away, he left instructions stating that General Zhao is to be the next Governor of Yu State. The document has already been prepared and sent to Luoyang. So even though General Zhao is not in Chen County, she is already the Governor of Yu State. She is officially recognized as Yu State's Vice General, second only to Inspector He. Her order to dispatch troops for the counterattack must be obeyed; do you intend to defy this order?"
