During this period, Wang Aiqing came in and brought him water and rice to the lamp to add oil. However, except for the consumption of the lamp oil, the water and rice did not move at all. However, his breathing was fine and long, and there was obviously no danger, as if he had entered Buddhist meditation.

The letter said that Emperor Li Ye sent troops to Shuzhong last year. The two vassals of Shuzhong, which were originally indistinguishable, worked together to resist the court's soldiers. Although Li Ye won, he also won a miserable victory. The Shence Army lost 100,000 troops to defeat Wang Jianhe and Chen Jingxuan. Although the two thieves had already been awarded the heads, the court no longer had the strength to send troops to intervene in the north. Fortunately, the north was in chaos and had no time to take into account the great loss of strength of the court. However, the Khitan had sent troops to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. Originally the territory of the two fathers and sons of the Liu family, they now had the Khitan flag. However, the Khitan did not fully control the Yan territory. The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun only obtained the Yunnei prefectures. Youzhou, Yizhou, Zhuozhou, and other prefectures and counties all fell into Zhu Wen's hands. Zhu Wen actually sent troops to seize food from the Khitan's hands.

Zhu Wen stayed in the dead end of Cangzhou and Zhenzhou for so long before he suddenly realized that his strength was insufficient, but he coveted more difficult goals, so he could only take the wrong steps and use strange things everywhere, but this actually violated a taboo in military strategists.

Zhu Wen once became familiar with the sentence "Sun Tzu" of "All warriors are in line with the right combination and the strange victory, so those who are good at making strange success are infinite as heaven and earth, and are endless as rivers and seas." However, his eyes are always on the second half of the sentence, and he likes to win by surprise, but he forgets that the premise is to make perfect consistency.

The art of war also says: "First be for yourself, and wait for the enemy to be defeated." "The correct army is the foundation for yourself, and if you blindly "win with strange things", you always rely on strange tricks and tricks, and ignore your own layout, defense, and construction. Although it may be a temporary victory, it will eventually be defeated by a powerful enemy.

Just like myself, if I am not strong enough, I can only use my troops in a wrong way. In this way, even if I win several games in a row, I cannot be truly powerful; because as long as I lose once, I will lose all my game and all my previous efforts will be wasted.

Although it is not that far, Zhu Wen could feel that as he was exposed to the court, the good days of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger would inevitably end, and he would face an extremely dangerous future. If he did not make any changes, he would definitely be dead.

So Zhu Wen decided to develop northward and did what he said, seizing most of the territory of Yan. The only drawback was that he had not taken down all Yan. After the Khitans seized the states of Yunnei, Yelu Abaoji ascended the throne in Yunzhou and his country was called Khitan.

Zhu Wen finally began to examine his shortcomings, which was terrible. Duan Mingyu had studied several vassal states in the Five Dynasties and carefully studied the old guys who had been standing in the Five Dynasties for many years, such as Gao Pian and Xu Wen, who was Yang Xingmi. In his opinion, these people all have extraordinary ability to resist strikes, and basically they can be able to let the wind and rain blow, and I remain unmoved.

Although Zhu Wen also admitted that the gap in strength and politics was in his own right, he believed that as time went by, the gap would inevitably become smaller and smaller. But now he suddenly realized that the biggest gap between him and the court was actually in his mentality. If he did not adjust his mentality, he would not have gotten so much time. Perhaps one day he would be wiped out and die before he could succeed. With the opportunity of Zhu Wen's choice to seize Yan land, he would never be able to catch up with the court again.

Duan Mingyu discovered that although these vassal lords made different routes and reached different heights, they had a common mindset, which was to be extremely patient and would never show their strengths when conditions were immature, even if the temptation was great.

What these people have been doing is to constantly strengthen their own winning factors, first make themselves invincible, and have to exist all the time before they can have hope of winning. Even when the time is ripe, they need to be patient, because even if they defeat the enemy, they will not take a head-on attack, but use the opponent's weak click to defeat the enemy. However, the flaws are revealed by the enemy, or under the guidance of their own, so they still need to wait.

Patient, calm, tenacious, and positive. If you want to survive or even succeed, the shortcomings of these personality factors must be filled. Zhu Wen's general trend has been achieved, and he even brazenly proclaimed himself emperor, founded the country, called himself the Emperor of Liang, and Zhu Wen had his own stable rear. The next war will no longer be opportunistic, but will truly compete for national strength. At present, after a year-long war in Shuzhong, the Tang Dynasty no longer has the strength to continue to launch a war. The Tang Dynasty must have no ability to send troops. If he had to send troops to attack the Liang established by Zhu Wen in haste, then there would be only one result for the general waiting for the Tang Dynasty, and there would be only two words... Death.

Now, Li Yuying also mentioned that now, the four prime ministers in the court agreed that they should send troops immediately to pacify Shu and pacify the world in one fell swoop.

However, there are many knowledgeable people in the court, including the Privy Councilor Jiang Xuanhui and the Shence Army Lieutenant Yang Fugong, who all believed that they should cultivate for a few years and then go to Liang State.

The Khitan just established a country and needed to move a large number of ethnic groups into the big city, but a considerable number of ethnic groups still insisted on grazing on the grassland. In general, it was all voluntary. This proves that the Khitan also had to use the power of the Daliang to restrain the Tang Dynasty and should provide certain support. The war between countries cannot be measured by one plus one calculation method. Although the Tang Dynasty had a stake in the territory other than Zhu Wen and the Khitan, how to prepare for future events is still a big problem. I don’t know how many eyes there are in the secret to look at this fragile peace. Once the world changes, maybe a governor and a prefect can subvert the country. The feudal regime is like this, very fragile, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty, which was originally unsustainable, was continued to be alive by Duan Mingyu.

The fruit of victory is in danger. What did the four prime ministers in the court think? Is it really just to make achievements and become famous throughout the ages? Wrong, they still have their own power and their own family. If they don’t provoke a war, how can they get more official positions and let their children in their clans rise to power? As we all know, although war has certain risks, it is also the fastest way to get promoted. These people have selfish intentions.

Before I knew it, the sky was already bright. Duan Mingyu thought for a whole night and couldn't help but sigh: I pity my Tang Dynasty, there are so many worries...
