Chen Dingye restrained his hatred for Li Guanyi, and received the emissary, hosting a banquet in the palace to entertain him. This emissary, a general from the grasslands named Sapar Mu, was quite bold, but after the banquet, when meeting Chen Dingye in secret, he suddenly spoke:
"At today's banquet, all were the confidants of Emperor Chen Dingye, and there was nothing to hide from them. However, I come here with the Great Khan's promise and good will, so I must avoid other people's ears."
"Great Emperor Chen, in our previous cooperation, we defeated the fierce tiger of Ying Country and seized vast lands."
"I've heard that the Emperor Jiang Wanxiang of Ying Country has grown old, and in Jiangnan of the Central Plains, a new hero is rising. Forgive my impoliteness, but with Chen Country's current national strength, it's almost impossible to aspire for the world."
"The Great Khan proposes an alliance."
