The border town is much more peaceful this year than in previous years. There is no fighting on the border, so the emperor's plan to let the Zhao army fight outside the border will have to be postponed.
If the war is to be launched smoothly, the six ministries in the court must provide corresponding support.
There were heavy rains in the south during the summer and the harvest of crops was not very good. A lot of money was spent on resettling the victims. There was not enough food and fodder, and the military pay was not enough. If they wanted to take the initiative to attack, they would face considerable resistance from the court.
Even though the emperor holds the power of life and death, he cannot do whatever he wants.
The war was postponed, perhaps until next winter.
