Chapter 673

The Eastern Jin Dynasty lies in the northeast, pirates reside on the southeast coast, while Nangong Country is to the south, and Xiyue Country to the northwest.

The Imperial Court's military force has always been dispersed and stationed at different borders, each place requiring soldiers every single day.

General Li has been leading sixty thousand soldiers stationed in the northwest.

His rebellion has put considerable pressure on the various borders.

An internal conflict should not be prolonged, otherwise, if the neighboring countries join forces to wage war, it would truly be a case of being threatened both internally and externally, causing a loss of national power.

The Emperor pulled together sixty thousand soldiers from different places to quell the civil unrest for Di Shaowei and only gave him less than half a year. He was instructed to completely annihilate Li's army within this time, factoring in that marching there and back alone would require over two months.
