I choose c. Simple, if the enemy had my girlfriend I must save her. It's sound heroic, eh?
Even I need to risk my life, but I will save her. Cuz, I love her.

Could someone please think of a question, please...?

It is the year 200 and you are Cao Cao's trusted strategist. The Girdle Decree has just been issued by the Emperor, calling on Ma Teng, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and all other forces to save Emperor Xian and to destroy Cao. Dong Cheng has been executed, and all forces are moving against your lord; Yuan Shao from the north, Liu Bei from the east, Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu from the west, and Sun Ce from the south. Your lord is desperately outnumbered and faces a crisis, so he comes to you for advice. What do you advise him to do?

A. Outlast the enemy: Bulster your defenses and try to hold them off. Eventually they will get back to their own conflicts, and campaigning will weaken them.

B. Divide and conquer: Go for your weakest opponents first (Liu Bei/Zhang Xiu), absorb their land and resources, and use it to drive off further attacks.

C. Take the offensive: Meet your enemy in the field and fight the odds. Now is the time to show fortitude and inspire the loyalty of your men. With our superior officers and smaller, more flexible armies, we can fight them off!

D. Surrender: What can you do? Yuan Shao alone has the ability to defeat you - what can you hope to do surrounded by the land's most powerful warlords? Not to worry though, surely Yuan Shao or Liu Biao will be willing to spare your life and allow you to join them.

E. Diplomacy: Restore Xian to power and try to reconcile with you enemies. Send gifts and marriage offers to the other lords. After all, needless bloodshed would not benefit anybody.

F. Abandon him: Jump ship and head for higher ground with one of the other lords! Cao Cao had it coming anyway. Your defection will be welcome, since you have justification through Imperial Decree! With your insight into Cao's forces, any lord would gladly accept your service.

Hmm, maybe F if things got really bad, and I guess it would depned on how loyal I was to Cao Cao.

The Divide and Conquer approach seems to be the best from a military perspective, abosrbing the forces and land of Liu Bei or Zhang Xiu would certainly give a better chance of staving off the other forces.

Nice question btw

Actually I want to choose F:
Jump to a ship, and joined Wu forces, then meet Lu Xun! Hehehe...
(Just joking...)

I would choose B or C, but mostly B. I would choose to fight Ma Teng first, though, since his territory was on the North. If we haven't secure the north, then certainly we can't conquer the south. After defeating Ma Teng, I will continue with Zhang Lu, Liu Biao, and the other minor warlord. Not Liu Bei, though. He had Zhuge Liang on his side...

I think E is the wisest advice.
But, I hate Cao Cao, so I choose F. But, now I'm in Cao Cao side, so I choose B.

B, 'cause that's what I do in actual gameplay.

Actual gameplay of which game?

I'd probably go with C, since thats what the enemy would be least expecting. Any signs of weakness and Im sure soldiers and officers would defect in droves faced with such a hopeless situation.

B I view as a bit of a trap, since historically, Cao Cao threw as many men as he could against Zhang Xiu and never succeeded. On the other hand, Zhang Xiu could never threaten Cao Cao on offense.
Even though he did defeat Liu Bei and take Xu, Cao didnt get much out of that either.

Any Warriors game. (I play WO2 the most, so yeah)

I do B. Go after the weaker officers, then go after the more major ones once I've occupied most of the stage.
