"Lord Eight, you are mistaken, our hesitance is what places Lord Fourteenth in jeopardy, on the contrary, only when a large army presses on them will there be a chance to force them to return Lord Fourteenth."
Ran Jingxuan paused, "And moreover, I have a plan that can reduce our losses.
"Strategist, please speak."
"Let's wait a few more days."
Ran Jingxuan gazed in the direction of Pianye River and slowly said, "Remember the message delivered to us by the secret scout in Hulaoguan before the war began?

"Now, their daily pasturing at Pianye River also confirms this point.
"Let's wait another ten days or half a month.
"After their provisions are exhausted, taking action can also likely reduce casualties."
"Moreover, this is the most important point."
