Prince of Chu
At that time, Gao Jixing was contemplating attacking another Later Tang vassal, Ma Yin the Prince of Chu. Sun pointed out that the Jingnan realm had long been suffering from warfare and had only gained a measure of respite recently under Gao's rule, and that if he engaged in warfare with Chu, he might draw attack from others who would take advantage. Gao agreed, and called off the attack.
