When the Army Has No Great Generals, the Chancellor Takes the Field Himself

“My lord, don't panic! Let me grab my sword and cut down this fool!” “Chancellor, that's not what I meant. Come back! Don't go! Someone stop the Chancellor!”

The generals: “We've been out of a job for ages, and the Chancellor charges faster than a horse.” The strategists: “We can't beat them, we can't out-insult them, and we get chewed out every day. We might as well die.”
