At that time, she only wanted her father's affirmation and approval, but she never thought that maybe her father had already praised her?

Zong Yanhongjing beckoned Zong Yanli to come closer, and then said: "I originally wanted to let you train more, but I didn't expect Nankang to borrow troops to attack. Now you don't have much time to train..."

"The elite soldiers of Jin are much more difficult to deal with than those of Nankang." Zong Yanhongjing thought for a moment and said, "Ali, your father wants to allow you to become a general and train a special force for Wu State."

Zong Yanli's eyes were shocked and he raised his eyes with some surprise.

Zong Yanhongjing continued, "I have had this idea for a long time, but I have never found a suitable opportunity, let alone a trustworthy person."

Zong Yanli suddenly remembered his previous life. When he was sorting out his father's belongings, he found a handwritten letter in the military tent. The letter was pressed at the bottom of the box, and the content of the letter was exactly this. Zong Yanhongjing had indeed had this idea a long time ago.

But at that time, Zong Yanli didn't know why his father did not give the order in the end, but buried the letter instead.

By the time Zong Yanli discovered it, Zong Yanhongjing had already died in battle, and there was little point in forming a surprise force after the fall of Nankang.

and so……

Now it seems that Zong Yanhongjing did not give the order at that time simply because Zong Yanli was still young and unable to handle such a heavy responsibility.

"This special force will break away from all the camps and form its own camp."

"Your father has appointed you as a general, but I cannot give you a military rank. You can only be a general of miscellaneous titles. Are you willing to do this?"

Zong Yanli was unusually silent; she had not expected things to turn out this way.

Did she think that she would fight on the battlefield and make great achievements like in her previous life, and finally be promoted to the position of general, instead of just being given the title of a general with a minor title?

Zong Yanli didn't know what kind of changes this change would have on the situation. After a long pause, Zong Yanli asked, "Father, what do you want to use this army for?"

"Everything possible." Zong Yanhongjing's answer made Zong Yanli more serious.

"Since father wants to use it, then I will practice it." Zong Yanli took a deep breath, raised his eyes and looked at Zong Yanhongjing with a firm expression and said: "From now on, Zong Yanli will be the sharp blade in your hand. Wherever I point - there will be death!"

"it is good!"

"Okay!"

Zong Yanhongjing breathed a sigh of relief and stood up excitedly, but his large movement pulled his wound and he cried out in pain, covering his abdomen.

Zong Yanhongjing looked at Zong Yanli with deep eyes and said, "Ali, I know you have the heart to be a general. One day I will make your wish come true."

Zong Yanli went forward to support Zong Yanhongjing, listened to his words and paused before saying, "If I could stay under my father's command forever, I would be more than happy."

"Hahaha!" Zong Yanhongjing smiled, with relief and joy in his eyes.

Finally, Zong Yanhongjing and Zong Yanli talked in detail about what was needed for this special force. To put it simply, they had to find a way to obtain military supplies themselves, as the military did not have much funding, so it was purely an empty shell. Even Zong Yanli had to recruit people himself.

Since they are a surprise force, their number cannot be too large.

Three hundred people is already the upper limit. It is like wanting the horse to run without giving it grass to eat.

This is really a tough job. Even Zong Yanli, who already has enough experience, was at a loss for a moment. Where would he get the military supplies and equipment?

Where will the money come from for the food rations and training losses for three hundred people?

Zong Yanli felt a headache just thinking about it. Who would be willing to come with such a poor force?

Moreover, judging from what Zong Yanli said, I'm afraid that what this army of theirs is going to do must be very risky. They are going to charge into a formation that others dare not charge at all, and they are going to attack a camp that others dare not attack. This is simply a tough job.

If Zong Yanli was not Zong Yanhongjing's biological son, she would have suspected that she was being cheated by her own father.

"Why does the captain look so gloomy?" After a brief rest, Monk and his companions were still rejoicing over their military achievements. They turned around and saw Zong Yanli had not spoken a word since he came back from the main tent, sitting aside with a bitter and resentful look on his face.

"What did the general say?" Kuang Xingquan also looked over and thought to himself that Zong Yanli was so outstanding, could he have been blamed by the general?

"Nothing." Since the matter had not been finalized yet, Zong Yanli did not say anything.

"I'll go check on the wounded." Zong Yanli stood up and asked, "Is Wen Nian awake?"

"No." Monkey shook his head and said strangely, "Do we have to put him in a cage?"

It really was like locking up a dog. Because they were worried that Wen Nian would go crazy and hurt himself, not only were his hands and feet locked, but he even had a bite guard on his mouth, making him look even more like a dog...

After all, Monkie and the others were partners with Wen Nian. Now seeing Wen Nian being treated like this, they felt a little uncomfortable.

Zong Yanli responded calmly, "Lock it up for now."

Monkie and the others were silent. For a moment, they didn't know whether Zong Yanli was good or bad to Wen Nian. If she was bad, she could still insist on treating him as a partner in the same camp. If she was good, she was now mercilessly detaining Wen Nian, which was really a contradiction.

Zong Yanli had no idea what everyone was thinking and had already headed towards the wounded soldiers' camp.

"Zong Yanli, how did you get here?" Jin Da's injuries were not serious. He was bandaged and sat in the wounded camp. There was a shortage of beds and there was no place to lie down. Those who were able to stay sat down.

"Are you okay?" Zong Yanli stopped and looked at Jin Da and asked.

"Nothing." Jin Da nodded reluctantly, looked at Zong Yanli with a little gratitude and whispered: "Thank you this time."

"You and I are from the same military camp, so we should advance and retreat together." Zong Yanli nodded slightly at him and asked, "Where is Shi Potian?"

"He is seriously injured and is in the tent inside." Jin Da pointed in a direction, and Zong Yanli responded and went over there.

There were separate small tents inside, and Shi Potian was lying in one of them. His injuries were so severe that when Zong Yanli went to see him, he saw that Shi Potian was wrapped up like a dumpling. The military doctor was so busy that there was no one watching in the tent.

Zong Yanli walked in and poured a glass of water to Shi Potian.

The drowsy Shi Potian drank several glasses of water almost instinctively. When he gradually came to his senses, he saw Zong Yanli appear in front of him again.

"It seems he is still alive." Zong Yanli looked at him and smiled.

"...Thank you." Shi Potian smiled and thanked in a hoarse voice.

"Rest well. If anything happens, ask someone to call me." After meeting Shi Potian, Zong Yanli confirmed that he was fine and went back.

As soon as Zong Yanli came back, she was told that Wen Nian had woken up. She took a slight step and turned to go to the tent next to her. There was nothing in the tent but a huge cage. Wen Nian was sitting in the cage with the shackles on his body not yet removed.
