今田廣據千里之齊，田閒將二十萬之眾，軍於歷城，諸田宗彊，負海阻河濟，南近楚，人多變詐，足下雖遣數十萬師，未可以歲月破也。 Now, Tian Guang occupies a thousand li of Qi, and Tian Jian leads an army of two hundred thousand, encamped at Licheng. The Tian clans are strong, relying on the sea and shielded by the Yellow and Ji Rivers. To the south, they are close to Chu, and their people are often deceitful. Even if your excellency sends hundreds of thousands of troops, you cannot break them in months or years.
