"Why use a small force? Let's go all out! I don't believe the Han people have many arrows to shoot!"
Hu Chuquan replied, "Without arrows, it's like a toothless wolf, completely at our mercy."
“Your Majesty is wise. In the past few days, we have been sending troops to probe them, exhausting their arrows.” Xu Buxian immediately agreed.
"Um!"
Hu Chuquan said, "If they realize we are testing them and stop shooting arrows, then our cavalry will charge within a hundred paces and start shooting arrows at them!"
"Let them taste our power!"
Xu Buxian sincerely praised, "Your Majesty is becoming more and more skilled in warfare."

Hu Chuquan suddenly felt that Xu Buxian, whom he had previously disliked but later had to rely on, now seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

After saying that, he picked up a black piece and prepared to place it.
"Strategist, the Xiongnu have sent a thousand cavalry to attack. How should we respond?" A scout rushed in to report.
Yao Guangxiao didn't even turn his head: "Have Lieutenant Li shoot it back."
