An Qingshan was about to speak in defense, when he saw Bai Qingyan's gaze fall upon him: "Your analysis of the battle was not wrong, but you failed to understand what the alliance between the two countries is truly for..."
"Two countries form an alliance for benefits, that's not wrong! But an alliance... is also to support each other!" Bai Qingyan's gaze again fell on the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom who were looking up at her, "Yan is now more in need than our Zhou of this armor that can be reforged into weapons against the enemy, and more in need of food, which is why... Yan Kingdom's soldiers fought with our Zhou soldiers over these war elephants from Tianfeng Kingdom after the battle. Otherwise, they're all steadfast and iron-blooded men, who would want to hurt the camaraderie between allied soldiers, who have fought life and death together, for these things? We are all soldiers, can we not understand that the dignity and camaraderie of soldiers are priceless?"
