Emperor Chongzhen looked up, his spirits lifted. He knew the outcome of the first clash between Huang Degong and Dodo had arrived.
After reading the contents of the battle report, Chongzhen’s smile grew so wide he could hardly contain himself. He signaled for a young eunuch to pass the report to Li Banghua and remarked, "Huang Degong is truly worthy of the name 'Huang the Reckless.' He actually routed the main force of the Jiannu, though it is a pity they only killed a mere two hundred men."
Li Banghua’s gaze swept over the report, his expression turning solemn. "Your Majesty, the actual number of enemy dead must be higher than what is written here; Huang Degong has underreported the figures."
