Chapter 540: The Final Compromise. [544]



Summary

Yuan Gai Su Wen confronts Qi Liang about the inadequate food provided to prisoners of war, but Qi Liang insists on following the rules. Yuan pleads for more food, offering to double his own rations in return. Qi Liang agrees to let the prisoners choose between working for better rations or receiving minimal food. Meanwhile, Goguryeo envoys, including Yuan Gai Su Wen and Wu Zhe Jun, negotiate with Zhang Xuan of Qingzhou. Wu Zhe Jun outlines demands for troop withdrawals and prisoner releases, while Zhang Xuan counters with his own conditions. Tensions rise as Yuan Gai Su Wen unexpectedly supports Zhang's terms, leading to a heated argument with Wu Zhe Jun. Ultimately, an agreement is reached: Goguryeo will return ships and armor in exchange for troop withdrawals and prisoner releases, but the struggle for control over the Liaodong Peninsula continues.
