"It is only right that General Lü should send someone to report to the governor for a decision on such an important matter."
"However, our 50,000 troops are expending enormous resources every day, and waiting here idly is not a solution."
"I have a good idea that can satisfy both sides."
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Commander Han, tell me quickly."
"The number of soldiers in the city is at most five or six thousand."

“Hey, General Lü is wrong. For the sake of the people of Hexi, King Yunzhong came from Hetao to Hexi to expel the foreign tribes with great enthusiasm.”
