"Just a moment ago, you said that even after requisitioning all the mules, horses, and ox-carts belonging to the city's residents, we could barely supply He Jin's force. My cavalry units mostly ride warhorses, with very few mules, oxen, or carts—how are we supposed to carry grain deep into the grasslands?"
