During this period, Wang Aiqing came in and brought him water and rice to add oil to the lamp, but except for the consumption of lamp oil, the water and rice did not move at all, but his breathing was thin and long, obviously not in any danger, as if entering Buddhist meditation.

The letter said that Emperor Li Ye sent troops to Shuzhong last year, and the two feudal domains of Shuzhong, which had been indistinguishable, actually joined forces to resist the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, although Li Ye won, but it was also a tragic victory, and the Shence army lost 100,000 troops before Wang Jianhe Chen Jingxuan was defeated, although the two thieves had been awarded, but the imperial court no longer had the strength to send troops to intervene in the north, fortunately, the north was also in chaos, and there was no time to take into account the strength of the imperial court, but the Khitan had already sent troops to the sixteen states of Youyun, which was originally the territory of the two fathers and sons of the Liu family, Now the Khitan banner is planted, but the Khitan did not fully control the Yan land, and the sixteen states of Youyun only got the states of Yunnei, Youzhou, Yizhou, Zhuozhou, and several other states and counties all fell into the hands of Zhu Wen, and Zhu Wen actually sent troops to snatch food from the hands of the Khitan.

Zhu Wen stayed in the dead end of Cangzhou and Zhenzhou for so long, and only then did he suddenly realize that his strength was insufficient, but he coveted more difficult targets, so he could only go sideways with his sword and use strange things everywhere, but this was actually a taboo for soldiers.

Zhu Wen once was familiar with the sentence "All those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory, so the good and the surprising, infinite as the heaven and the earth, inexhaustible as the river and the sea" is naturally familiar, but his eyes are always on the second half of the sentence, like to win by surprise, but forget that its premise is to be a good match.

The art of war is also cloudy: "first for oneself to be invincible, and to treat the enemy can be defeated" and "the right soldier is the foundation of one's own invincibility, if the use of soldiers blindly "wins by surprise" always relies on tricks and tricks, and ignores their own layout, defense, and construction, although they may win for a while, they will eventually be defeated by a powerful enemy.

Just like himself, in the case of insufficient strength, forcibly using troops, he can only keep going sideways, so that even if he wins several games in a row, he can't be truly strong; Because as long as you lose once, you will lose all the games, and all your previous efforts will be lost.

Although it has not reached that point now, Zhu Wen can feel that with his exposure to the imperial court, the good rì son who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger will inevitably end, and he will face an extremely dangerous future, and if he does not make any changes, it will definitely be a dead end.

So Zhu Wen decided to develop to the north, and did what he said, seized most of the territory of Yandi, the only fly in the ointment is that he did not take all the Yandi, after the Khitans seized the states of Yunnei, Yelu Abaoji ascended the throne in Yunzhou, and the country was called Khitan.

Zhu Wen finally began to review his own shortcomings, this is very scary, Duan Mingyu has studied several feudal towns in the Five Dynasties, and carefully studied those old guys who have stood in the Five Dynasties for many years, such as Gao Biao, said Xu Wen, it is Yang Xingmi, in his opinion, these people are all with extraordinary ability to resist blows, basically they can do it regardless of the wind and rain, I will not move.

Originally, although Zhu Wen also admitted that he had a gap in strength and politics, he believed that with the passage of time, this gap would inevitably get smaller and smaller, but now he suddenly realized that the biggest gap between himself and the imperial court was actually in his mentality.

Duan Mingyu found that although the lords of these feudal towns had different routes and reached different heights, they had a common mentality, that is, they were extremely patient, and when the conditions were not ripe, no matter how great the temptation was, they would never show their grandeur.

What these people have been doing is to constantly strengthen their own victory factors, to make themselves invincible first, to be there all the time, in order to have any 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 frontal attack, but take advantage of the opponent's weakness to defeat the enemy, but the flaws are the enemy's appearance, or under their own guidance, so they still need to wait.

Patience, calmness, tenacity, and positivity, if you want to survive, and even succeed, the shortcomings of these xìng factors must be made up, Zhu Wen's general trend has been achieved, and even brazenly called the emperor, the founding of the Liang, self-proclaimed Liang Taizu, Zhu Wen has a stable rear of his own, the next war will no longer be opportunistic, but a real competition for national strength, and at present, after a year-long war in Shuzhong, Datang has no strength to continue to wage a war, Datang must not have the ability to send troops, If you have to send troops to attack the Liang established by Zhu Wen in a hurry, then there will be only one result waiting for the Tang Dynasty, and that is only two words...... Die.

And now, it is also mentioned in Li Yuying's letter, and now it is mentioned that the four prime ministers in the court actually agreed that they should send troops immediately, with the spirit of pacifying Shuzhong, and pacifying the world in one fell swoop.

However, there was no shortage of people of insight in the court, such as the privy envoy Jiang Xuanhui and the lieutenant Yang Fugong of the Shence Army, who believed that they should cultivate for a few years and then try to make Liang Guo.

The Khitan has just been founded, and a large number of people need to be moved into the big city, but there are still a considerable number of people who still insist on grazing on the grassland, in general, it is all voluntary, which proves that the Khitan also has to use the power of the major beam to contain the Tang Dynasty, which should provide a certain amount of support, the war between countries, can not be measured by the calculation method of one plus one, although the Tang Dynasty has narrowly mastered the territory other than Zhuwen and the Khitan, but how to prepare for the future, is still a big problem, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are secretly looking at this fragile peace, once the world changes, maybe it will be a thorn history, a Taishou, the general army can subvert this country, the feudal regime is like this, it is very fragile, not to mention that it is the Tang Dynasty, which has no vitality, but Duan Mingyu has taken a breath of life to get the Tang Dynasty.

The fruits of victory are in jeopardy, what do the four prime ministers of the court think, is it really just for the sake of simply making meritorious contributions and becoming famous through the ages, wrong, they still have their own forces, their own families, if they don't provoke a war, how to get more official positions, let their own children in the clan take the position, as we all know, although there is a certain risk in war, it is also the fastest way to be promoted, these people are selfish.

Unconsciously, the sky was already bright, Duan Mingyu thought about it for a whole night, and couldn't help but sigh: Have mercy on me Datang, there are many worries......
