The general looked distressed and hesitated, then said:
"General, what if... what if they have enough weapons? Wouldn't we be sending ourselves to our deaths?"
Upon hearing this, the Javanese general flew into a rage, grabbed the other general by the collar, and roared:
"You coward! Are you trying to desert your post?"

The general was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Lu Yan shrugged and said:
"There's nothing I can do about it; what can I do when I have no ambition?"
"I just want to guard this small piece of land, be a local tyrant, and live a carefree life."
