Wu Sangui and Gāo Yīgōng glared at each other, then took their seats. The others followed suit.
"Gentlemen," Wang Yongji sighed, "I am deeply saddened by the death of Commander He Jin on the battlefield, but the battlefield is a place of life and death; there is no time to dwell on the loss of our comrades. Our priority must be to stabilize the situation, find a way to take Guangning, avenge Commander He, and give the Imperial Court an account. Do you agree?"
