All of these strategies were based on Bai Yian's true method to break the current stalemate, the only way out for the six clans and seven families, considering various actions up to now.
That's why after his earlier strategy for a decisive battle was rejected, he proposed an equally extreme conservative strategy.
The goal was to preserve the Jiangdong foundation to endure until the great calamity a hundred years later, the last chance for survival.
