"The worst strategy is out of the question, the risk is far too great! Our advantage lies in field combat, and to besiege the Ming army would be tantamount to handing our advantages over to the enemy on a silver platter! What's more, as time drags on, our supply lines could be cut off. Absolutely not!"
"Right. First of all, we have no idea how much grain and fodder the enemy has. Secondly, what if our own supplies run out first? Do we just retreat without a fight? Going there empty-handed and coming back empty-handed—if you aren't ashamed of yourselves, I certainly am!"
"I think the middle strategy is viable. No matter whether the Ming court or the rebel bandits win or lose, it is beneficial to us!"
