To outsiders, Zhao Huan was accomplished in both civil and military affairs. He could serve as a prime minister or a general, and both his civil and military careers revolved around the concept of stability.
In particular, his style of leading troops in battle has always been based on defense, and he will never take the initiative to attack unless he has a 100% chance of winning.
Therefore, he was once also known as the "First City-Defending General of Dajing".

You've both been exhausted these past few days and haven't had a proper rest. I really feel sorry for you, so I'll let you get some sleep."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Cheng's mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg.
