This is not just admitting a mistake, it's putting oneself and the entire Northern Border military group on the chopping block, allowing the Gu Clan to slaughter at will?
Guo Xin saw through his son's thoughts and sneered, "Do you think Lord Gu doesn't know the situation in the Northern Border?"
"If he really wants to take action, who can stop him?"
"Rather than being passively beaten, it's better to take the initiative and surrender."
"If we proactively propose rectification, we can still grasp some initiative, at least we can preserve the core. After all, there are indeed some feelings between our Guo family and the Gu Clan."
"Moreover..." His eyes flashed brilliantly, "if our Guo family truly assists in the rectification, the discretion and targets within, might not be unworkable."
This is the real act of retreating to advance.
