"If we don't accept their surrender, we'll have to fight Xiao Mo to the death. I'm afraid our casualties will be even more severe!"
"Besides, if we deny them the option to surrender, won't that just make them resist all the more fiercely?"
"I suggest we accept the surrender of Yanmen Pass. General, you must write to His Majesty at once!"
"That's right. We've completely lost contact with Bishui City and the other ten of the Eleven Southern Cities. We don't know what's happening, and they're under immense pressure. If we refuse Xiao Mo's surrender and he fights to the death, what happens if something goes wrong at Bishui City? How will we answer to His Majesty then?"
"General, Xiao Mo was insufferably arrogant before, and I wanted to see him suffer death by a thousand cuts as much as anyone. But this is no time for personal feelings. We must prioritize the greater good."
