Line Commentary
Pushing upward into an empty city. Obstructions fall away. Things proceed with remarkable ease. Profit from this success—but no promise of good fortune is added. How long can unobstructed success last? Don't yield to such misgivings; they only inhibit power. Profit from the propitious time.
