Eavesdropping

"Since General Gao ordered us to be on standby here. we just have to listen to orders. Why do we have to do that unnecessary thing?"

"But General, this is the time to make contributions. After some time, when the world is peaceful, how will we be able to show our abilities?"

There was a moment of silence in the tent. The persuasive voice said, "General, although General Gao has ambitions to dominate the world and has a domineering aura, he's far inferior to the Duan family in terms of benevolence and righteousness. If we don't take this opportunity to accumulate military merits, the Gao family might not be able to tolerate us. You have to know that the Gao family isn't like the Duan family with only a few descendants. The Gao family is populous. Even if the Gao descendants aren't capable, they'll naturally trust them more. Without military merits, how can we solidify our position?"
