Xu Guangfu finished speaking, turned his head to look at Lu Xingzhou, and asked for his opinion.
Lu Xingzhou also disagreed with a rash attack and suggested Su Qing draft another memorial to the Capital to advise Emperor Guangxi.
Emperor Guangxi's attitude was very firm; he was determined to destroy West Yue.
As for the reason—
A few months ago, the Empress Dowager passed away, and it was a period of national mourning in Great Chu.
Generally, in such events, no matter how fierce the war, the opposing side must voluntarily cease hostilities, at least until the twenty-seven days of national mourning have passed before resuming confrontation.
But West Yue did not.
During the period of national mourning, they continued their attacks relentlessly.
Just by this action, they crossed Emperor Guangxi's bottom line.
Once his obstinate temper was triggered, not even Su Qing, nor the civil and military officials, could persuade him to change his mind.
