The alliance meeting, which had been relatively peaceful initially, began to take a peculiar turn after Zhang Ren's comment, as it deeply stung the Kushan Empire.
However, Zhang Ren wasn't entirely wrong. At least, given that the Kushan Empire had just been heavily defeated by the Han Dynasty not long ago, they were left powerless to refute his statement.
As for the discontent among the generals of the Kushan Empire, the Han Dynasty couldn't care less. You who have tasted defeat, can you really threaten us, the victors? What a joke, stop being ridiculous.
Anyway, after the battle, Yan Yan and Zhang Ren gained confidence. The Kushan Empire's army had noticeable shortcomings—while strong, this kind of strength was only relative to small countries. To an empire, these obvious weaknesses were enough to be their downfall.
