Fa Zheng listened to the account of Gan Ning and the others in silence, then after a long while, he said with a sigh, "It is only now that I realize how vast the heavens and earth are. I also understand the injustice of fate that Master Li and Master Jia once spoke of."
"Indeed, the injustice of fate. Where in our Great Han do we have such places? There's never enough money, sigh," Mi Fang sighed, not knowing exactly what Jia Xu and Li Youu had said, but Fa Zheng's remark about the injustice of fate made him feel the same.
"Master Li said it best, 'If heaven does not grant it, I shall take it myself.' If we plant our flag there, it becomes our land," Fa Zheng nodded, quite proud. In fact, at this time, officials of the Great Han felt a sense of pride in the strength of the Han Dynasty; even amidst the internal strife of the Han, they had no doubts about their ability to defeat the Hu people.
