"Beijing's walls are tall and thick. How and where to attack? I think we should consider these issues."
"As for Du Xun's false peace talks, I don't care."
Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing smiled as if they didn't care, then raised their glasses and toasted each other.
As the third-ranked figure in the Dashun Army (the second-ranked figure, Tian Jianxiu, stayed in Shaanxi to look after the house), Liu Zongmin's words were indeed short-sighted.
