Shen Changqing spoke frankly.
The Liang Emperor's expression showed a hint of confusion. "A great calamity?"
This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
Shen Changqing said, "The details of the great calamity will become clear to the Liang Emperor in time. Now that the Liang Emperor has been defeated, I wonder if you can make a decision?"
Decision! What decision! The Liang Emperor took a deep breath. His eyes were filled with sorrow and reluctance, but eventually, these feelings turned into resignation.
"The saying 'victors become kings and losers are bandits' holds true. There's nothing more to say. Even if I disagree, with your strength, Great Liang simply cannot withstand your forces. Since that is the case, why needlessly increase the casualties? Tell Gu Xing that Great Liang is willing to merge into Great Qin, but on one condition: you must not arbitrarily harm the citizens of Great Liang. Otherwise, even if it means mutual destruction, I will not rest."
