Chapter 540 - Chapter 202: Two Palaces Together - 2

After this battle, as Xun Country discussed rewards for military achievements, Tai Chang Gu Mo chaired the court discussion. He argued that the merit in holding the enemy was greater than the merit in repelling the enemy. Since the Quan Clan had commanded the troops, their initial defeat followed by victory, and merely holding the defensive line was their duty; nothing more than what was expected of them. Consequently, Zhang Shusi and Gu Zhi were promoted to the rank of generals for their valor and vigorous military service. The Quan Family's sons only received promotions to the rank of subordinate generals.
