Chen Gong can actually guess what is it. He's spoken to Shang Xiang a grand total of one (1) times before deciding no, never again, but he had to admit that Odawara Castle was remarkably fortified. It'd have to take a real breach in security and loss in manpower for the demons to take over. And what better way to get into one of the last remaining strongholds than to use matters of the heart to persuade one of the officers guarding it?
(Sun Jian doesn't need to worry about being rejected. As long as he can prove he's the Tiger of Jiang Dong, Shang Xiang will never turn her back to him. Now, what he does need to worry about is how she'll always scramble to save him, even if his skin was turned into a putrid grey and his eyes became reminiscent to those of beasts.)]
...I am a strategist. [He starts off with that first.] If I were in the place of the demons, I wouldn't want you dead, either.
[Should he tell Sun Jian? ...Well, they're going to be locked together for a plenty bit of time, unless the demons decide to make Chen Gong a snack.] If successful, you could become one of their strongest officers.

Or, at worst, a bargaining chip.
