Lord Jingnan and his beast waited there, appearing to adhere to some kind of martial world code, but in reality, it was a strategic trade-off.
Li Fusheng had once told Zheng Fan that when two armies clashed, it was difficult to guarantee the enemy wouldn't have several experts among them.
There were only two ways to deal with such experts.
One was to besiege them with a large army. This was how Shatuo Queshi had been killed in front of the Earl of North Border's residence. Rumor had it that when the West Army Division of Qian State was at its peak, the Tattoo-faced Master had specifically trained a unit of eight hundred elite armored infantry to hunt powerful individuals among the indigenous people of the Southwest, achieving remarkable results.
The other method was the trade-off: send out one's own experts to either tie down the enemy's expert or kill him outright.
