Inside the palace, there was silence.
Only one official read out the urgent report Mei Fei had just sent back.
"Today, the Tujue armies attacked in vast numbers, their forces amounting to hundreds of thousands. Though the Shuofang Army was brave and fierce, they were yet hard-pressed to stand against the ferocity of the northern barbarians. Fortunately, due to their diligent training in the past, they managed to retreat in one piece from under the hooves of the Tujue. However, the Lingwu Army was unable to withstand the Tujue forces and quickly collapsed, I'm afraid all the generals in the army met with misfortune. When the Imperial Court dispatched the main army to reinforce them, it also posthumously promoted the generals of the Lingwu Army to console the spirits of the Three Armies."
After the official finished reading the newly received report, he looked up proudly at Kaihuang, who was sitting above with a cold expression.
