Charlie felt that it would really not be realistic at all if he were to truly search for the whereabouts of the opponent’s supreme commander amongst all the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies so that he could have control over him.
Everything else aside, Charlie still did not even know who the opponent's supreme commander was or what he looked like.
At that time, there would be more than ten thousand men inside. Even if Charlie could successfully infiltrate them, he was afraid that it would be very difficult for him to find and determine the identity of the other party within a day or two. 3
However, if he were to look at this problem from a different perspective, it would not be so complicated.
Charlie could just go over there and meet with him directly.
When Hamed heard Charlie's words, he immediately exclaimed in shock, "How can we do that? Brother Wade, you will have a very slim chance of surviving this! How can you go and take this risk?!"
Charlie simply smiled indifferently and said, "What's s o life-threatening about it if I were to go over and meet
with the opponent openly as your negotiator? Do you really think that they will kill me?"
As he spoke, Charlie then continued analyzing, "This kind of stalemate might seem to be very disadvantageous to you on the surface, but in actual fact, Ten Thousand Armies and the government are the ones who are truly at a disadvantage." 4
Hamed had a worried and anxious look on his face as he said, "Brother, to tell you the truth, sometimes I feel quite uncertain about this situation in the depths of m y heart. I did not have a long preparation time, and so, my strategic supplies are still not enough, and it is far from your previous request for me to have strategic reserves to last for three years. Besides that, the number of people in my base has already multiplied b y several times, and if I have to feed and take care of more than ten thousand men, that will speed up the consumption of supplies. We will only be able to last for a year and a half at most..."
As he spoke of this, Hamed then sighed and said seriously, "Brother, if I were to use an Oskian idiom to describe myself, I am a turtle in a jar!" 5
