I Changsha has experienced wars and is now in poverty, far inferior to the two countries of Lingnan. Surrounded by enemies on three sides, we are constantly fighting. It is difficult to maintain stability.
If we can annex these two countries, we would immediately gain millions of households, countless wealth and resources, enough to support a 200,000-strong army for wars.
If we can march forward and conquer Jiuzhen County, we will completely seize the southern land and eliminate our worries of being attacked from behind.
Thus, Your Majesty will have the land of four counties, thousands of miles of territory, tens of millions of people, and 300,000 armored soldiers.
If we lead these soldiers north, the Zhou people will tremble with fear. If we lead them west, we will conquer Xichuan. If we lead them east, Jiangdong will lose courage.
This is indeed a foundation to strive for supremacy, and it is necessary to plan carefully for it in advance."
