331. Zuo Gong has an invitation

The situation in the Western Frontier was looking up, and the war seemed to be nearing its end.

Just at that time, the Rakshasa suddenly exerted pressure on the Western Frontier issue, threatening to send more troops and launch a "total war."

Moreover, the Shun Dynasty's Imperial Court was in financial trouble at the time, already unable to support the Western Expedition Army. Faced with such threats from the neighboring powers, it actually caved.

Abnormal voices started to spread throughout the court, and Li Zhongtang was the first to submit a proposal,

"The Western Frontier is an outland of desolation, with vast deserts and scorched earth stretching for thousands of miles, the land is barren and sparsely populated, and not of high value. At this moment, going to war with the Rakshasa would be particularly unwarranted. It would be better to give up on the development efforts, redirect the provisions for withdrawal towards maritime defense."
