Once Jiangbei is taken, we can use its people and elevate our army's morale. Jiangnan will not be difficult to subdue. In this way, we spend little effort for great gain. With Wu secured, Gui and Guang will submit, and Min and Shu can be summoned by royal decree. If they resist, we advance on all fronts and take Shu. Once Wu and Shu are secured, Youzhou will surrender upon hearing the news. Only Bingzhou remains a true threat, it cannot be swayed by kindness or trust, and must be crushed by force. But after their defeat at Gaoping, their strength is broken and their morale lost, they pose no lasting threat and can be dealt with later.
