Zhang San saluted Emperor Kaihuang with a fist and palm salute, his attitude respectful.
"As a humble minister, I am a subject of the Great Sui and also a commander in the army. I persuaded the Tujue's four-pronged force to retreat, I strategized the defense of Ren City, I outwitted the Tujue, and I contributed to the salvation of Your Majesty's carriage... Are these not all duties expected of me?"
Hearing Zhang San's words, sweat almost broke out on Emperor Kaihuang.
After such a list of accomplishments, Emperor Kaihuang felt certain that whatever Zhang San was about to ask for, it surely wouldn't be small.
