In the end, they still had to swallow their pride and accept this loss.
Therefore, Cui Changqing was not afraid of Su Country's reaction at all. It was just one thing that made him feel embarrassed.
After mentioning the strategy above, Cui Changqing said with a bitter face: "It's just that with this chaos, Su Country's population has greatly decreased, people's livelihoods have declined, and the local situation has become even poorer. The original annual aid from Su Country of two million silver taels and one million stones of grain might be reduced, or even stopped altogether.
Without this money, if His Majesty wants to wage war next year and confront the Great Changhe Country, it might be difficult in terms of funds and grain."
Recently, Lu Yuan summoned Cui Changqing and Li Liang to discuss important matters with these two highest civilian and military officials in the city.
