Bab 836: Chapter 358 The Way of Moderation_2

```

Yet as Shen Qiu said, it was a more moderate and prudent approach.

"Your Majesty is wise and insightful, to conceive such an extraordinary strategy."

"If this plan succeeds, the downfall of Chu thieves will be at hand."

"in the days to come, when Chu State is destroyed, it will all be due to Your Majesty's strategy today."

Inside the great hall, some ministers inclined toward prudence, or already confidants of Shen Qiu, began praising and exaggerating the merits of this plan once again.

Bai Yian, who was among the ministers not offering flattery, watched the scene unfold with growing disappointment in his heart.

As an old general who had followed his grandfather for over a decade in military campaigns, deeply influenced by his teachings, how could he not see that the so-called moderate strategy proposed by His Majesty was too presumptuous?

It was as if discussing military tactics on paper.
