And when he pushed the window open a crack, the scene that greeted his eyes was Leng Yu kneeling there with others, waiting to announce the decree.

The little eunuch who came to announce the decree was naturally not Xiao Chen, after all, Xiao Chen, upon receiving his order, handed this imperial decree to someone else to handle.

And he himself returned.

This current little eunuch, although he did not recognize him and had never seen him before, one could indeed see a trace of awe on his face, and that was already enough.

This was enough to prove that his authority was still very strong in their hearts, especially when this person traveled over a hundred miles, still leading a team, bringing his respectful demeanor along, this was even more sufficient.

And next, when he turned his gaze to Leng Yu, he saw this girl was now completely surprised.

To be more precise, her face was full of confusion, for this girl had no idea what exactly had happened, what the content of this decree might be?

Why was everything the eunuch displayed so unusual, not quite what she imagined?

With such a restless heart, Leng Yu looked at the little eunuch in confusion, just waiting for him to read out the imperial decree in his hand.

And at that moment, the voice of the little eunuch finally reached everyone present:

"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees, Leng Yu, the daughter of General Leng, in the face of the invasion of the Yan Country’s scoundrels, against an enemy several times their size, stood fearless in peril, leading her subordinates in sworn resistance. Ultimately, the border of Dayou Country was defended. This is an exceptional feat!

A woman hero not yielding to men, this sufficiently shows that Leng Yu is a talented military leader, who has made significant military contributions to Dayou Country.

Everything Leng Yu has done, I have observed clearly, and I am very gratified.

Therefore, confer upon General Leng the title of National Guardian General of Dayou Country. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Leng Yu is conferred the rank of Senior General of Dayou Country, and is to head to the capital immediately to assume the position of Grand General. Further arrangements will be made after General Leng returns to the capital."

As the little eunuch’s words fell, everyone present was stunned, including Leng Yu herself, who was dumbfounded.

She had never expected that not only was she not held responsible, on the contrary, both her father and she received honors.

Especially her father, being conferred the title of National Guardian General is not something an ordinary person can achieve.

Don’t even mention that her father is merely a Border Army Garrison General, even the reigning Grand General finds it hard to achieve such an honor.

To receive such an honor, one must have made enormous contributions to Dayou Country to be conferred such a title.

Frankly speaking, it’s not easy for even a prince to attain that, let alone her father.

So, she knows very well that her father is absolutely not qualified to receive such a title. But now? The decree clearly states it all. How could she not be shocked?

Of course, there are also the honors for her, originally, in her mind, to secure the position of General was already quite good, and the result? It was vastly different from what she imagined.

Not only did she become a General, but also the Grand General of Dayou Country.

You must understand, the Grand General of Dayou Country is on a completely different level from the commander of the Border Army Camp.

If we were to calculate by rank, the Garrison General of the Border Army Camp at most is only a fourth-rank official, while the Grand General of Dayou Country is decidedly a first-rank official.

Do not underestimate the gap of just two or three ranks, you must know that every promotion in rank requires significant military achievements.

According to Leng Yu’s understanding, even if her father, this time for fighting for Dayou Country, sacrificed himself, offered his life for the Border Army of Dayou Country, at most it could only increase by half a rank.

This itself proves how difficult it is to ascend in rank, and now, she directly jumped several ranks.

From originally being a deputy of the Border Army with only a sixth-rank or so position to directly ascending to a first-rank, this itself indicates that it is absolutely not simple.

This caused her to furrow her brow and ponder for a while, she didn’t know why there would be such an outcome.

Leng Yu is indeed aware of her own limitations. Even if all the Generals of Dayou Country were dead, it wouldn’t be her turn to occupy that position of Grand General.

After all, she knows very well her skills and capabilities.

She can be a hundred percent sure that she is definitely not cut out for that role.

To occupy the position of Grand General, there are only two possibilities, one is to have achieved extraordinary military success.

The second is that it must be a family of Generals.

In other words, only the sons of those Grand Generals could possibly reach such a position.

Frankly, reaching that position, it’s no longer just about being able to fight, but you must be a trusted confidant of His Majesty.

Still, the kind of confidant that can be trusted.

After all, it means handing over the military power of hundreds of thousands to the other party.

If this person cannot be trusted, or if they lead these troops to stage a rebellion, the consequences would be extremely serious.

Moreover, the most crucial point is that she is just a woman.

Historically, female Generals are virtually non-existent.

So, in every aspect, Leng Yu is not qualified.

But now listening to the contents of this decree, Leng Yu didn’t know how to object, or rather she didn’t know what to say, and could only stare blankly at the little eunuch announcing the decree in front.

In fact, it was not only Leng Yu, even those around her were all stunned.

They knew the things Leng Yu knew, they too could not believe what they heard was true, they couldn’t believe their General Leng had suddenly become the Grand General of Dayou Country.

This was something they dared not dream of.

After all, the distance between the two was too far.

It’s like earning 3000 yuan a month, riding an electric bike, could you dare to imagine the next step being upgrading to a million-dollar Rolls-Royce?

Perhaps no one would dare to think so.

Yet at this moment, the little eunuch continued to speak the contents of the decree:

"In addition, due to this invasion by the Yan Country’s scoundrels, our Border Army Camp suffered heavy losses. After this, I will send new soldiers to make up the losses.

New recruits will not establish a separate camp, nor will they be used for anything else but will use the old Border Army flag and title.
