Shi Hu remained unimpressed by this, not even deigning to glance at Chu Zhe. He merely lowered his gaze and said in a low voice, "In this subordinate's view, if the Beiyuan barbarians truly intend nothing more than a raid, they should put up a fierce and aggressive front. Only then could they make Your Highness wary enough to buy them ample time to plunder and pillage."
"Their current behavior is merely a lure to draw us deep into their territory. At a time like this, we should sit tight and observe, maintaining strict defense, and wait for half a month before attempting an assault."
Hearing this, Chu Zhe let out a cold laugh. "General Shi must be joking with me, surely? Yesterday, you were the one urging me to attack immediately; today, you are the one telling me not to act rashly. Could it be that the Beiyuan army has grown exponentially in strength over a single night?"
