Li Ru hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Lord Sheli, military strategy states: 'Military affairs are like fire, and time waits for no one!' In my opinion, since the Han army has already retreated, we should immediately send troops to defeat the Southern Wuhuan people as quickly as possible!"
"Hmph, Wenyou, don't talk nonsense. What if the Han army suddenly returns to provide support?"
Seeing that Li Ru, who was usually very respectful to him, suddenly spoke against him, Han Qing, who was in the lead, was immediately displeased, feeling that Li Ru was trying to steal his thunder.
"The Han army has been retreating for more than two days now, and is at least a hundred miles away from Qiuliju and Nanlou. As long as Lord Sheli can launch an attack as quickly as possible and defeat Nanlou and Qiuliju before the Han army's reinforcements arrive, the Han army will definitely retreat to Yuyang to defend it. At that time, the southern Wuhuan lands will be at our disposal! We can even march straight to Shanggu!"

"Lord Sheli, Huangfu Song is well-versed in military strategy. Beware of his plan to lure us deep into his territory. If we fail to defeat Nanlou and his men in one strike, by the time Huangfu Song returns to reinforce, everything will be over! Therefore, I think it would be better to wait a few more days!"
"It should be known that speed is the only way to win. As long as Lord Sheli moves fast enough, even if Huangfu Song has any tricks up his sleeve, he will definitely be unable to carry them out!"
Moreover, the Han army will need at least three days to retreat into the city for supplies and rest, and another three days to return and provide support. In total, it will take six days. Do you really think that Lord Sheli's men cannot defeat the likes of Qiuliju and Nanlou within six days?" Li Ru looked at Han Qing and retorted without giving an inch.
"this.....!"
Hearing Han Qing and Li Ru's two completely opposite opinions, Sheli was also caught in a dilemma.
