There is no need to worry about Liang Country becoming too powerful and difficult to control if they really capture Henan and Nanyang prefectures.
If that day truly comes, then facing such a threat, Zhao and Xu countries to the north, Zhou Country to the west, Ning Country to the south, and Lu Yuan's Chu Country will naturally not allow such a formidable enemy to grow in peace.
When that time comes, the Five Countries attacking Liang, or even the Nine Provinces attacking Liang, will take turns playing out.
Competing for supremacy is not a game; none will sit idly by and watch Liang Country slowly rise and strengthen.
Before it can grow, the countries will unite to weaken and destroy it, as is the norm.
Confronting the Five Countries, or even alliances among the Nine Provinces, even if Liang Country unifies Qingzhou and takes Henan and Nanyang prefectures from Zhou Country, it cannot be the match of the world's various nations.
