Even the Prince Chen of Marine Road has a certain chance, but considering that Prince Chen is right next to Prince Jing's army, Prince Jing would almost certainly not allow Prince Chen to negotiate peace.
"What does Your Majesty think?" Zhao Douan asked.
Xu Zhenguan remained silent for a moment, then said coldly, "The crime of treason is unforgivable. But it is feasible to negotiate peace to buy time."
Zhao Douan understood.
The Empress of today is no longer kind-hearted; she has made up her mind and will not spare the enemy.
However... this doesn't mean negotiations are off the table. If an advantage can be gained at the negotiation table and peaceably have Xiping and Iron Pass return to peace.
Then next year's decisive battle with Prince Jing will undoubtedly have a greater chance of victory.
At worst, they can slowly settle accounts with the two rebel kings later.
