"Sir, then tell me, with regard to Zhao Min, should we attack or defend?"
Liu Bowen said: "According to our spies' reports, before Zhao Min surrendered, she only left behind the so-called Three Guards of Doyan."
"Her three Doyan guards probably only have 60,000 men."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said with a smile: "What you said does make sense, sir. However, Zhao Min has surrendered to Zhang Wuji after all, but the soldiers under her command may not be on the same side with Zhang Wuji."
"If we send troops to attack proactively, it will make the soldiers under Zhao Min's command desperate."

"Just leave a few young generals and a few thousand soldiers there."
"In such a big battle, I still have to use my good nephew."
