If we understand their weaknesses, we can find ways to deal with them. In addition, we should treat our capable people well, give them rewards, give them food and clothing, and make them improve the combat effectiveness of our army. If all this is done, we don't need to be afraid of enemy aggression. " After listening to Wu Qi's analysis, Wei Ji was suddenly enlightened. He said, "Then we'll do as Mr. Wang says, so I don't have to worry about Wei's safety."
