Xiao Rongyan faced the Zhou Dynasty courtiers and spread his hands: "The cities captured by force require rebuilding, not to mention the people have suffered! What is the point of all this?"
The excited Zhou courtiers muttered unanimously, claiming Yan Kingdom acted out of necessity and spoke such grandiose words.
"I, the Prince, admit…" Xiao Rongyan turned once more to look at Bai Qingyan, "The two nations have resorted to a national policy to determine victory due to lack of alternatives. If not for Yan Kingdom being completely out of options, we would not propose this strategy to gamble with Zhou! After all, if an actual war breaks out, whether Zhou destroys Yan Kingdom or Yan Kingdom destroys Zhou, they will become one country. Since that's the case, why don't we choose a way that doesn't require soldiers to bleed and die, or civilians to be separated from their families?"
