"Therefore, I personally believe that this news is thirty percent true and seventy percent false. Although the Wolf Clan leader is brutal, he shouldn't engage in reckless warfare." Shangguan Jian still couldn't believe this news. Of course, his analysis was based on objective factors, while his subjective inclination was also towards avoiding war. After all, it's been just six months since the last great battle with the Wolf Clan; the civilian and military forces have not yet recovered. Furthermore, the county is not tranquil either. Once war breaks out, the troops will certainly be deployed northwards, leaving East County vulnerable...
"Shangguan, I personally agree with your viewpoint as well. However, since there is this news, we might as well report it and let General Meng Tian make the decision. In this way, if the Wolf Clan invades, we will have achieved a great merit for foreseeing it in advance. Even if the Wolf Clan remains inactive, we are not at fault."
