“We can only report those casualties either as accidents during training or sickness The coher-ups froarrison will each offer up some money and send twenty taels of silver to the family of every soldier we lost as a token of respect”
“Do you all have that much money?”

“Cough, cough, cough…!” Xiao Yu too overly worked up immediately stopped to reco’s expression turned cold as he continued questioning Tie Yunshan “According to the military rules, how should we deal with the spoils of war that we seized fro to the Great Han Empire’s military rule, all spoils of war should be turned over to the bureaucracy so that the higher-ups can make the final decision Battle h demand resources since theup ways to procure them from the Shatu people beyond the pass So naturally, they have to be turned over to the authorities As for oxen and sheep, they are useful in agriculture, so they too will be confiscated The only things that the troops got to keep are sos, and lahtered for food Other than that, big sums of money, weapons, and arher-ups were to share theet?”
