Zheng Fan felt that Tian Wujing had been unusually talkative today, clearly intending to offer him some guidance.
However, since Tian Wujing said to deploy troops, Zheng Fan would naturally comply. After excusing himself, Zheng Fan immediately summoned Blindman and Liang Cheng to delegate the tasks.
