Moreover, even Shixie knows that though people cannot go, their hearts must be present. No matter who persuaded him to do this thing, the other party did it, which at least proves that they are aware of this matter and are in harmony with the country. But Zhang Lu acts as if nothing happened.
No one would believe that everyone under Zhang Lu's rule is unaware of what the Northern Huns signify, nor would anyone believe that Zhang Lu's ministers are oblivious to what Zhang Lu should do at this time.
No one is foolish. Irrespective of how others calculate, at that time, they all shared a common interest with the country. In this situation, Zhang Lu's inaction shows disregard for the state.
Naturally, all who participated in the Northern Frontier war silently blacklisted Zhang Lu.
