The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

The wind on the grassland seemed to have turned red.

After an unknown amount of time, Guo Huai's cautious voice rang out beside Pan Feng.

"General Pan, how should we report the battle of Juebi City to the imperial court?"

The outcome of the Battle of the Cliff City was truly horrifying. If the news were to reach the capital, it would likely cause a stir throughout the court and the country!

And most importantly, the imperial court might think it was a false report of military intelligence and wouldn't believe it!

This is very likely!

Pan Feng hesitated for a moment, then sighed deeply: "Report it as it should be reported."

Guo Huai thought for a moment, then said in an even softer voice, "General, in my humble opinion, there is actually no need to report it truthfully."

Upon hearing this, Pan Feng's eyes widened, and he immediately shook his head, saying, "Guo Huai, your little schemes can't be hidden from this general. If you're trying to steal credit, then this general advises you to give up!"

"The Battle of Juebi City shook the world; it's impossible to conceal it. If you attempt to deceive the Emperor, I fear His Majesty will exterminate your entire clan!"

Guo Huai hurriedly said, "General, you misunderstand. How could I dare to report military intelligence falsely? I just felt that if we reported it like this, we would offend Chief Inspector Jia and the Prince of Zhenbei, and also the Crown Prince!"

Guo Huai was so frightened that he was completely stunned. How could he possibly dare to take credit for it?

If it were said that the defenders of the cliff city had repelled the Kushan Empire, they might even dare to claim credit and say that their imperial reinforcements had also played an indispensable role!

But the current situation is so unusual that it can be said to be unprecedented in a century!

They originally thought that the battle at the city of Juebi would be extremely brutal and protracted, so they traveled on and off, waiting for the peace-seeking faction in the court to persuade the Kushan Empire.

Who knew that the war would end before they even arrived!

Moreover, the victory was complete and utterly crushing from the direction of Cliff City!

The Kushan Empire lost 300,000 men and captured 100,000!

Extremely brutal!

If they dare to covet such military achievements, their fate will likely be no better than that of the barbarians of the Kushan Empire!

Before the imperial court can even take any action, Jia Tisi and the Prince of Zhenbei will kill them first!

Don't say things like killing an official of the imperial court is a serious crime; Jia Daoshi dared to do it!

They still want to return to the capital alive!

Judging from the strength of Jia Daoshi and the Prince of Zhenbei that we just witnessed, they are not people they can afford to offend.

After hearing Guo Huai's words, Pan Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't worry about them for now. Tonight, I will have the Azure Phoenix Messenger deliver the message by express 800 li. If they allow the Azure Phoenix Messenger to deliver the message, that would be best. If they send people to intercept it, then I will have to go to the city lord's mansion and discuss with them how to write this battle report."

Anyway, it's always right to report it this way. We're all doing things for the court, so Jia Daoshi and the others can't blame themselves.

"Alright, that's not important. Let's clean up the battlefield first. In this weather, if we don't clean it up in time, it could spread like a plague!"

Pan Feng didn't want to waste any more energy on these matters. Now that the threat from the Kushan Empire had been eliminated, that was the best thing.

Otherwise, facing the Kushan Empire's army of 500,000, their small force wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap!

The tens of thousands of soldiers brought by Pan Feng can be considered the elite of the imperial court, with rich battlefield experience.

However, this time, these combat experiences were not put to good use.

On the contrary, the experience in burying corpses came in handy.

However, on the other hand, although they ended up burying the dead, these soldiers were actually quite happy.

Compared to fighting to the death with those barbarian soldiers, this job is a sweet one; at least I won't die!

Furthermore, after witnessing the black-armored heavy cavalry of the Prince of Zhenbei, they could not harbor any resentment.

A day passed quietly as they cleaned up the battlefield.

On the grassland, Pan Feng's army had already set up their camp tents.

There was no other way; there were just too many corpses, so they had to set up camp on the grassland.

Night gradually fell.

Pan Feng was writing a memorial to the emperor in his command tent.

Just then, a female official dressed in black armor walked in.

This female official was the military supervisor dispatched by the imperial court.

The Empress's confidante was named Song Zhaoyue.

She and Song Zhaoruo, a lady-in-waiting to the Empress, are sisters.

When she was in the military camp, Song Zhaoyue rarely showed her face.

As the Empress's confidante, she was well aware of the situation in the court, and she didn't bother with the power struggles.

But this time, Song Zhaoyue, like Pan Feng, was shocked by the outcome of the war.

She vomited while we were at Furong Gorge!

It took me a day to recover.

However, our steps are still a bit unsteady!

After seeing Jia Daoshi and Shen Li's strength here, Song Zhaoyue was quite worried.

She was also worried that this memorial would be intercepted.

Both Song Zhaoyue and Pan Feng were required to write memorials to report the battle situation truthfully.

Moreover, the military supervisor and the general were not allowed to consult each other when writing the memorials and battle reports, in order to prevent the false reporting of battle achievements.

Originally, Song Zhaoyue didn't need to come to Pan Feng. After writing her own version, she could have had the Qingluan messenger send it back first.

But this time is different!

After thinking about it, Song Zhaoyue decided to go find Pan Feng first.

"Lord Song, what is it?"

Upon seeing that it was Song Zhaoyue who had entered, Pan Feng hurriedly put down her pen and stood up to greet her.

A hint of worry appeared in Song Zhaoyue's eyes: "General Pan, how is the memorial coming along?"

Pan Feng said, "Lord Song, I am writing right now. You didn't come here to exchange memorials with me, did you? That would be inappropriate."

Song Zhaoyue smiled wryly and said, "General Pan, you're overthinking it. I just feel that the waters of this Cliff City are deeper than I imagined!"

"You should know our current situation."

"The soldiers have worked all day and can only camp on the grassland. The Crown Prince has not shown up, and the gates of the cliff city are tightly closed, so we can't get in at all. Do you think our memorial can be safely sent out?"

Pan Feng remained calm: "What does Lord Song think we should do?"

Song Zhaoyue hesitated for a moment before saying, "This Jia Tisi is extremely cruel, and the Prince of Zhenbei is now Jia Tisi's wife. I am most worried about the two of them. On the other hand, the First Prince is kind-hearted. I think we can talk to the First Prince about how this memorial should be written."

Pan Feng's eyes flashed: "Lord Song, are you trying to conceal the true situation of the battle?"

Song Zhaoyue shook her head: "It's not that I'm hiding anything, I just want to find out if the current Juebi City is still the Juebi City of the Great Jing Dynasty! And if the current Crown Prince is still the same Crown Prince as before!"
