"Yes," Zhao Xin said, "General, you hold the official position of Qingzhou Governor. Seizing Qingzhou with legitimacy is surely more advantageous than wasting troops here against Liu Kun?"
Wang Jun sneered, "Qingzhou is the territory of Gou Xi and his brother, and Gou Chun is also the Emperor's appointed Qingzhou Governor. If I take Qingzhou, are you hoping for a fight between me and Gou Xi so you can reap the benefits?"
"Of course not," Zhao Xin replied, "Gou Chun is harsh, and the people of Qingzhou suffer greatly. In just half a year since his appointment, there are already songs in Qingzhou saying, 'Little Gou is harsher than Big Gou.' In such a situation, if you become a joint Qingzhou Governor, you can respond to the people's plea to drive out Gou Chun. I think scholars from both the north and south would be pleased to see it happen."
Wang Jun remained silent.
