However, the process would be somewhat prolonged, Li Jun's estimate of 5 to 7 days was really just a reflection of his "hope."

Upon hearing Li Jun's explanation, Zheng Tong's fragile and sensitive expression began to twitch again. He suddenly grabbed the cup in front of him and smashed it to the ground.
Li Jun remained silent, while Zhang Ming who had just been immersed in the terror of the city's breach was startled by the sudden smashing sound of the cup breaking.

Indeed, even before the battle of Tongcheng erupted, he had considered the possibility of ceding all the land east of Tongcheng to the Great Tang Group in exchange for peace.
