Chapter 1301: Accountability Again

There seemed to be no such straight wood available where they were, so it would probably not be easy to build such a tent.

What's more, the wind was extremely strong that day. If we really set up the tent, it might be blown away by the wind. It would not be as stable and reliable as it was at that time!

It didn't take Ye Zifen long to set up the tent. It only took her about quarter of an hour.

However, just as she finished the construction work, a large number of soldiers came back on horseback.

There is no doubt that they had made great gains this time, not only capturing a large number of prisoners of war, but also seizing many war horses.

This undoubtedly injected a small but significant amount of new strength into the military camp.

At this moment, Ye Zifen ignored the other people and went straight to find the Dali Temple Minister who had returned to the tent to rest.

After the servant reported, Ye Zifen walked into the tent and saw General Zhenbei was also there.

She asked directly without beating around the bush: "Sir, the emperor's decree has clearly stated that those who have been wronged can return to their hometowns and receive corresponding compensation. If they do not want to return home, they must be treated fairly in the army. I wonder what your opinion is on this matter?"

Hearing this, the Dali Temple Minister was a little surprised and thought: "How should we view this matter? Since the emperor has issued an imperial decree, how dare he have a different opinion?"

Could he dare to disobey the imperial edict? That's a capital crime! He must do what the imperial edict says!

However, he knew in his heart that Ye Zifen was not targeting him personally, so he decided to throw this difficult problem to General Zhenbei to see what he thought about the matter.

So he asked, "What does the general think?"

After hearing the emperor's decree, General Zhenbei immediately began to think about this issue.

However, after this fierce battle and his fear of the enemy girl's strength, he couldn't help but have more concerns in his heart.

Some of the soldiers might be able to return to their hometowns, but some absolutely could not, especially those in the vanguard team who had profound martial arts skills.

Not to mention other things, if the enemy launched another cavalry raid like this, if there were no vanguard to resist in the front, I am afraid that the enemy would really have a high chance of rushing directly into his camp.

Now, these people in the vanguard have become a solid line of defense for their camp, and also a sharp sword to break through the enemy.

If the current emperor knew the truth and found out that he had let these people go so easily, he would probably punish him even more severely.

However, it is undeniable that they have made countless military achievements since arriving at the border.

Fortunately, the imperial edict stated that those who were unwilling to leave would be treated fairly. This was like a ray of light that suddenly appeared in the dark night, giving him hope.

This means he still has room to maneuver, and he can just talk to them when the time comes.

The reason why the Dali Temple Minister came to investigate the case this time might be to give them promotions.

However, due to his dereliction of duty, the emperor is very likely to bring him to justice for this matter.

Even if the truth comes out in the end and proves that he is not involved, he is now the General Zhenbei, and those people may not obey his orders wholeheartedly.

Especially the man named Zhang Gaoyi, everyone else seemed to follow his lead.

It can be said that if this person cannot be effectively checked and balanced, then in time, his achievements will certainly not be inferior to his.

However, he is still unclear about the relationship between Zhang Gaoyi and the new girl.

If he said that they had never met before, he would find it hard to believe. After all, on the battlefield, the two of them were able to show such amazing tacit understanding when they cooperated for the first time.

But this little girl clearly has a strong background. Is the person named Zhang Gaoyi the same?

Therefore, at this moment he began to hesitate.

Deep down in his heart, he thought that perhaps he should let Zhang Gaoyi go, but as for other capable people, he needed to keep them.

However, this was only his inner thoughts. On the surface, he said: "Of course we must act according to the will of the emperor. All land under heaven belongs to the emperor, and all people in the world are his subjects. As a subject of Daxia, we should obey the emperor's orders."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen smiled slightly and said softly, "In this case, please General Zhenbei follow the wise plan and release the person!"

Before she finished speaking, she took out a piece of paper from her arms and slowly unfolded it.

The paper was about three feet long and one foot wide, and was densely covered with names.

Even the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple had not expected that such a piece of paper would exist. He originally thought that the Emperor had asked him to investigate those who falsely claimed military merits and that these people were wrongly accused, but he did not expect that there were so many people on the list.

General Zhenbei looked at the paper with a look of doubt. He never expected that there would be so many people.

Although they were far away, General Zhenbei's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He only needed to quickly glance at the few people in front of him to keenly realize that the people drawn on the paper seemed to be from the vanguard camp, and these people were exactly the soldiers he loved and was reluctant to part with the most.

However, the embarrassing thing was that he had just blurted out those words, so how should he end it now?

Just when he was in trouble, Beta's deputy general who was left behind to clean up the battlefield suddenly walked in like a savior from heaven.

The deputy general was excited and reported loudly: "General, the battlefield has been cleared and the uninjured soldiers have been sent to the military doctor for treatment. Our army suffered more than 200 casualties in this battle, but we successfully defeated more than 1,800 enemy troops. It can be said to be a glorious victory!"

His arrival was like a ray of light, instantly rescuing General Zhenbei.

After hearing the deputy general's report, General Zhenbei immediately stood up and said excitedly: "This battle was very exciting. I will draft a victory report and submit it to the emperor immediately!"

Ye Zifen was quite angry at the moment, but she suppressed her anger and endured it again and again, and finally buried the anger deep in her heart.

She let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, "Writing a battle report is a matter of praising the soldiers who fought bravely. It's a pity that when the merits are so great, no one knows who will get the credit in the end."

Her words were like a needle hidden in cotton, making everyone present feel uneasy.

The Dali Temple Minister quickly said, "Don't worry, whoever it belongs to will own it. I will also investigate the previous matters. Don't worry, Miss Ye."

General Zhenbei frowned slightly. He naturally understood what Ye Zifen meant, but now was not the time to discuss who should take the credit.

"You all have made great contributions to this great victory. As for the credit, this general will report it truthfully to the court."
