Engagement between courts is not like martial arts experts battling to the death.
It's all about compromises.
Chu Zhiyuan had witnessed negotiations between two courts; without an overwhelming power gap, neither side can win it all, requiring mutual compromise.
Chu Yi snorted, "In my opinion, let them join forces as they may, we just need to hold on for a few years and we can overcome them."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
This idea was too idealistic; if they really joined forces, Da Jing's army losses would outpace its gains.
Right now, Da Jing needs to recuperate and quietly increase its strength.
But achieving this is greatly difficult.
Both Da Zhen and Da Meng are not blind and will not let Da Jing have its way unchecked.
On this point, Da Zhen and Da Meng are likely already in tacit agreement.
"Yuan'er, I think the court intends to send you as an envoy to Da Meng."
"Hmm—?"
"There's such a rumor, not sure if it's true."
