"Not necessarily. Whether we can fight a tough battle depends on the time, the situation, and the people. I'm just letting them taste the sweetness first. Once they taste the sweetness, they will have hope and motivation, and they will also set a good example for other soldiers." Hearing this, Wang Han said with a smile, "There will be plenty of tough battles for them to fight in the future. I'm just afraid they'll complain that it's not enough."
"Would His Majesty refuse the Western Xia's offer of peace?" Upon hearing this, Zhong Shidao couldn't help but ask. In his mind, Emperor Huizong would certainly not refuse such tempting conditions from the Western Xia. Whether to fight the Western Xia and then the Liao Dynasty, or to join forces with the Western Xia to fight the Liao Dynasty, any rational person would know which choice to make.
“Refusal is the most irrational thing to do.” Upon hearing this, Wang Han shook his head and said, “Therefore, Emperor Huizong will not refuse, and those ministers will not allow him to refuse. If Emperor Huizong really refuses, I'm afraid those ministers will not even let him sleep. They might even be verbally attacked.”
"How can the General be so certain that there will be many tough battles to fight in the future?" Zhong Shidao asked, puzzled.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier, and a general who doesn't want to be a great general isn't a good general either." Upon hearing this, Wang Han said, smiling mysteriously. "Having tasted the sweetness, they naturally won't forget it."
"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Zhong Shidao immediately understood. It seemed that even without war in the future, these soldiers would cause a lot of trouble on their own.
“But, General, is this alright?” Zhong Shidao asked hesitantly.
"Truth always prevails in the fist," Wang Han said with a smile. "This is a principle summarized over thousands of years, and it also helps to deflect conflict."
“In that case, the country probably can’t afford it!” Zhong Shidao said.
"We can't afford it, no, we can afford it, it's just that you haven't found the right way yet," Wang Han said with a smile.
