Yang Yuzhi shook his head slightly, patting the withered tree he was leaning on, and said, "The Xia Kingdom is like this old tree. It is too old, and its decay is not just in its branches, but the entire trunk has already rotted!"
Ling Hao squinted his eyes slightly and remained silent.

If I want to cut down the trunk, they will inevitably perish, and they won't agree, so I must cut them off first!"
Yang Yuzhi sighed and said, "Honestly, this death plan of mine is very foolish, not clever at all, a tactic that harms the enemy by eight hundred but damages oneself by a thousand, extremely stupid.
