An envoy from Beiyang Country, after listening to Ruo Xuan's words, said, "Who is this young lady? What a bold statement! We are actively seeking peace not because we can't defeat you. It's merely that we don't want the people of both countries to suffer from the ravages of war. If you don't want to negotiate, that's fine by us!"
Another envoy added, "Ignorant women and children, our Beiyang Country is a mighty nation, with military forces more than double that of Xuanyuan Country! Could we not defeat Xuanyuan Country?"

Negotiation is a tug of war over morale, the side that appears weaker loses.
Envoy from other countries seized the opportunity to speak out.
