"The land in Jingyue is vast and fertile. Everyone has ample food and clothing. When that time comes, Emperor Hao's troops will be at Jingyue's doorstep to take it all away. You can completely seal all the entrances and exits before it's too late.
"Emperor Hao's troops will not be able to enter if you do that. Your fief can be self-reliant. At that time, you can establish yourself as the Emperor of Jingyue. What will he be able to do then?"
After a pause, Prince Yi continued, "We will not force them to act now. We will wait for an opportunity to act. Once Emperor Hao is extremely unstable, you can open the entrances and send troops to attack Emperor Hao. At that time, Da Ling would be easy for you to conquer.
"Moreover, Emperor Hao is very tolerant and has always claimed to be a benevolent ruler. His heart is filled with love for the people. If he sends troops to suppress them, the possibility of causing chaos in Da "ing is very small.
