But at this moment, a rational Zhao Yan raised his hand. "The Old General is right. This concerns the very survival of Zhao; we must proceed with caution."
"I have already stated that all military authority concerning Handan, as well as the fate of Zhao itself, will be given to the Old General. Our provisions will only be secure if a large army guards them."
"Prime Minister, from now on, you will be responsible for dispatching provisions from other cities. Once the provisions arrive in Handan, they are all to be handed over to the Old General for safekeeping," Zhao Yan ordered.
"I accept the decree," Guo Kai replied, seeing he had no other choice.
Pang Xuan was deeply moved by Zhao Yan's trust. He knelt immediately. "This old servant vows loyalty unto death to the Great King and will never disappoint you!"
