Ming Yu naturally wouldn't point this out to Huyan You directly. Instead, he said, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and now is a crucial time to establish your prestige. If you don't gather the army now, there won't be another chance later."
He continued, "Once the Great General concludes the war with Jin, regardless of how much territory is gained, he would have taken Yun City and captured Emperor Jin alive. Plus, with his previous achievement of breaking Luoyang, I'm afraid his prestige among the Xiongnu will be even higher. By then, Your Majesty will truly have to rely on him."
