Why did Suo Lun refuse to negotiate with Turing Chen?
It wasn't because of Turing Duo, but because he wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate Duke Turing Tuo. In his view, Duke Turing Tuo was even more dangerous than Zhi Li at this time!
For a nation to be strong, the most important thing is the nationalization of its military! In feudal kingdoms, this could also be called the royalization of the military!
This was fully exemplified by Count Suo Long.
As a commander equally renowned as Duke Turing Tuo, every battle Count Suo Long fought involved leading hundreds of thousands of troops. Upon his triumphant return, he would hand over military control to King Quo Bian.
The true military force belonging to him, Suo Long, was forever only about ten thousand men from Tianshui City!
