"So, just wait for Wang Li to withdraw his troops."
"That's essentially the idea." Ye Shikai said calmly, "Wang Li is very strong, but I estimate that once he withdraws his troops, the court will find it difficult to launch consecutive campaigns. Nanyang can gain a long period of peace, and the lord can take this opportunity to consolidate his power. By the time the Qin Army comes again, they won't be able to contend with us."
"But what if Wang Li doesn't withdraw his troops, or if the Qin Army gets supplies, won't the battle continue indefinitely?" Mi Wen asked.
"No, for months, all the counties in Central Plains have been ablaze, and the activities of the rebel army have severely affected local people's lives. Moreover, during last year's war with the Wolf Clan, most of the stored grain was consumed. Wang Li is unlikely to obtain supplies from Central Plains." Ye Shikai retorted.
"The ruthless Qin, who can say whether they will forcibly seize the people's food."
