Master From the King's Fort Chapter 28

"It is not a good idea to lightly start a border conflict. It will cost the people money and time. If you win, you will stop. If you lose, you will lose soldiers and generals, causing the people on the border to be displaced and the border to be in turmoil."

"If you admit defeat before you even fight, where is your courage?"

"Your courage is only that of a common man! Border residents retreat into the fortress walls and burn the dry grass, thus clearing the fields. Border troops take advantage of their rest to set traps, wait for the invaders to attack, lure them into narrow roads, and attack them in groups. Even if we cannot win a big victory, we can at least destroy their arrogance! This is a long-term strategy!"

"If the border residents retreat, the cultivated fields will be abandoned. If the border troops hide in the earthen forts, it will only boost the arrogance of the Tartars and weaken our military morale and national prestige!"

"ignorance!"
