"After all, if the cities we seize through our conquests are not properly managed, our initial efforts will have been in vain. Furthermore, after we suppress the Prince of Yan’s rebellion, we certainly wouldn't want to deal with additional uprisings caused by poor administration."
"Second, regarding the timing of the war: considering the situation in Bohai Commandery, I believe our campaign to suppress the Prince of Yan’s forces should not be drawn out. We only have ten months left before the Beast Tide arrives."
"My personal recommendation is that, if possible, the Bohai Legion should return in triumph—or at the very least, return safely to garrison Bohai Commandery—before the Beast Tide begins, so we can defend against it."
