"Many members of the Qin nobility have already contacted us in secret, requesting us to show leniency and ensure their safety." The staff officer handed a report to Strauss, who was writing a post-war summary. As a young general of the Empire, Strauss had a lot of work to do at the moment.
Although the Tang Army did not encounter large-scale resistance in the Qin Territory, sporadic ambushes still caused significant casualties.
Especially since the Great Tang Empire maintained restraint, trying to keep friendly relations with the local populace, the anger caused by these losses often found no outlet, which was indeed very depressing.

The topic brought up by the staff officer piqued Strauss' interest. He looked up, took the report, and carefully read its contents.
