Chapter 47: Return

"Peace talks?"

Li Rusong questioned incredulously. In the eyes of this warrior, now was the time to pursue the already defeated allied forces, with the various daimyo pointing fingers at each other and Japan in total chaos. At the very least, if they couldn't annihilate the main forces, they should drive the Japanese out of the entire territory of Joseon.

"Ningxia, Burma, Jiaozhi, Jurchen, along with Bozhou..."

Song Yingchang put down the ink-dipped brush and sighed.

"We have quite a few troubles; this is also the intention of the senior officials in the court. Zimao, you should be mindful of the bigger picture. Don't forget, when you delivered the imperial edict to those two wild gods in Joseon, it caused an uproar in the court. You have troubles yourself..."

"The bigger picture, the bigger picture," Li Rusong silently repeated in his heart but shook his head, saying, "The Japanese will not just let things be."

Having said that, he left dispiritedly without another word.
