Yuan Shao might have been muddled, but the others weren't drunk to the point of oblivion. They hastily urged him not to proceed, saying they had already dealt a heavy blow to Gongsun Bogui that day. Although they had won a great victory, they were also exhausted, and General Juo too had suffered severe injuries. There was no need to hurry for a moment, in short, they advised against it. Rushing in might bring misfortune; it would be better not to go. They should secure the current situation instead, gradually consuming Gongsun's forces. Victory would inevitably come, so why the rush to succeed?
Juo Yi didn't speak, just half-kneeling in front of Yuan Shao. After being persuaded by everyone, Yuan Shao sobered up, stood in front of Juo Yi, and remained silent. After a long while, he poured himself another cup of wine and handed it to Juo Yi, "Drink this cup! You'll charge as the vanguard, and I'll follow you!"
