若契丹母子虛張聲勢，以抗我師，潛遣銳兵南攻駕前諸軍，則令鎮、定之師直衝戎帳，攻其營砦，則沿河遊兵不戰而自屈矣。 If the Khitan queen and heir merely feign strength to hold our army while secretly sending elite troops south against the forces before the carriage, let the Zhen and Ding armies strike straight at the barbarian headquarters and storm their camps; the river patrols will then collapse without a fight.
