《元史·列传·卷九十六》
实在不得已要进行征讨，也应先宽百民赋税，积聚粮饷，修缮甲兵，等来年天时稍利时，再大举进兵，也不算晚。 
无已，则宜宽百姓之赋，积粮饷，缮甲兵，俟来岁天时稍利，然后大举，亦未为晚。 
If subduing them by force is unavoidable, then we should first lighten the burden of the people's taxes, gather provisions and military funds, repair armour and weapons, and wait until the weather is more favourable next year, before launching a full-scale military offensive. It is not too late to do so then.
