Although the border army suffered consecutive defeats, they fought with increasing courage, depleting much of the Rouran Barbarians' forces and firmly holding back the Rouran Cavalry. It can be said that they made great contributions.
The Left General, familiar with the border army's capabilities, remarked, "Fan Zhongliang has made significant progress during his years with the border army."
Liu Hengchang responded that it was because, in recent years, the border army had been training using methods from the Personal Guard Camp. To be precise, it was using the methods formulated by Liu Hengchang for training.
The Left General was well aware of this, smirked slightly upon hearing it, put down the telescope, and said to Liu Hengchang, "Once this battle is won, we shall discuss merits and rewards. General Fan and the border army deserve the greatest credit, and no one can take it away from them. Rest assured, I am not someone who steals credit."
