The Bad Girl's Quick Transmigration System: Traveling Back and Forth

Zhao Ning, Han Shuang and I led the army back to the capital and escorted Zhao Rou back to the capital.

After returning to the capital, I reported the entire battle to Empress Liu Qian, including the fact that Zhao Rou deserted the battlefield. I also described Han Shuang's loyalty and bravery in detail to the Empress.

So the empress followed the punishment given to Feng Nishang and beat Zhao Rou with a hundred military sticks, demoted him to the rank of fourth-rank lieutenant commander, and allowed him to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence.

Empress Liu Qian was delighted to hear that Han Shuang was only sixteen years old, yet so brave. She also wanted to recognize her as her sister. I quickly said, "You can give her any reward, but let her practice more first. Don't let the child become too spoiled." Liu Qian thought this made sense and didn't insist. Then Empress Liu Qian announced the rewards for the meritorious personnel:

Han Shuang was promoted to the rank of General of the Right Guard, a third-rank official, commanding 12,500 men.

Zhao Ningjin was appointed General of the Left and Right Guards, commanding the Left and Right Guards armies, totaling 50,000 men.

Zhao Rou's mistake this time wasn't as serious as Feng Nishang's; she simply retreated, not fled. Therefore, her title of Wu Champion wasn't directly revoked; the Empress still allowed her to redeem herself for meritorious service, merely demoting her to a lower rank. Zhao Rou excitedly declared, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life!" She knelt on the ground in gratitude, tears glistening in her eyes.

The Empress looked at her coldly, her voice icy: "I'll forgive you this time, but if you make the same mistake again next time, you'll die."

Zhao Rou's heart tightened, and she kowtowed quickly, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will definitely remember this. Next time I encounter this situation, I will fight to the death!"

Her tone was firm and resolute, as if she were swearing an oath to the Empress. The Empress nodded slightly, motioning her to stand up.

Zhao Rou slowly stood up and gently wiped away the crystal tears from her eyes. Her eyes shone with a resolute light, as bright and resolute as the stars in the night sky. She stared silently at the majestic empress before her, her heart filled with gratitude.

She deeply understood that this opportunity was rare and invaluable, carrying the Empress's heavy trust and earnest expectations. This trust flowed like clear, sweet spring water, gurgling deep into Zhao Rou's heart, allowing her to experience an unprecedented warmth and powerful strength. Therefore, she silently vowed to do her utmost, tirelessly striving to improve her abilities in order to repay the Empress's deep friendship.

At that moment, Zhao Rou seemed to see her future self, a strong and confident woman. She knew the road ahead would be full of obstacles, but she firmly believed that as long as she persevered, she would achieve her goal. She was fighting not just for herself, but also to live up to the Empress's sincere heart.

Zhao Rou began a rigorous training program. Every morning, she personally led the soldiers in physical training, including long-distance running, push-ups, sit-ups, etc. She led by example, always maintaining a high-intensity training state, and inspired the soldiers to constantly surpass themselves.

Zhao Rou also focuses on developing tactical skills. She organizes simulated battles to allow soldiers to learn how to coordinate, utilize weapons, and employ skills in practice. She patiently guides each soldier, correcting their movements and strategies to ensure they are prepared for various battlefield situations.

To enhance team cohesion, Zhao Rou regularly organizes group activities such as dinners and bonfire parties. During these activities, soldiers communicate with each other, strengthen their relationships, and develop a closer team spirit.

After a period of hard work, the Left Jinwu Guard's military discipline improved significantly. The soldiers' physical fitness became stronger, and their combat skills became more sophisticated. The entire team displayed high morale and strict discipline.
