A single Snow Sea Pass could indeed block the southern path of our Holy Tribe, but if the two cities of Pingye were controlled, it would be possible to gain the upper hand.
Our Holy Tribe is weak at attacking cities; now the snowy plains are scattered like sand; a city only needs two thousand armored soldiers and two thousand laborers to defend and wait for reinforcements.
I can write letters to the commanders of these two cities and ask them to surrender."
The blind man chuckled,
and said:
"Will they still listen to you?"
"Just givin' them a way out."
The blind man shook his head and said:
"To tell you the truth, although our Snow Sea Pass has just moved people in, our military power is inadequate. It's barely enough to guard this Snow Sea Pass, let alone split the forces to guard the two lone cities on the snowy plains.
Moreover, why bother taking them? Once the army is trained, we can take them down directly."
"But attacking a city will result in many deaths!"
