Liu She leaned back, rested his chin on his hand, and laughed. "This matter you speak of is indeed potentially dangerous, but who's willing to step forth first and bear the consequences? Each family consolidated its military strength until it totaled 40,000 men. If we unite as one, Prince Changshou, that thief of the country, will tremble in fear. I bet even the emperor who reigns from Chenzhou will have difficulties eating and sleeping. Moreover, the heroes have their pride will never submit completely to anyone…"
Huang Song had visited Liu She with Cheng Jing for two main reasons.
Either they collaborated with Liu She to nominate a renowned "alliance chief" who could hold the fort and command respect, or they named Liu She as the "alliance chief" to head the efforts to defend the emperor and fight a decisive battle with Prince Changshou.
If they went with the former, Liu She didn't mind participating.
