Ji Qingwu said, "I believe you. It's just... Xijin is at war with us right now, and Longzhou is only a few hundred miles from the Northern Border. I'm afraid the State Official won't have time to deal with us."
If Ji Qingwu remembered correctly, Ji Changlin's map showed Longzhou as a reserve depot for the army's grain supply.
But after several consecutive years of locust plagues, crop yields had fallen, and the Northern Border Camp's provisions were now supplied from Youzhou to the southwest.
It had already been cut off from the Northern Border.
Longzhou was now a hornet's nest. Many of Su Fengyue's remaining supporters were still there, which was why Li Chengxun was heading to Longzhou to take up an official post.
He was going on the Emperor's orders, specifically to purge the dissenters.
Su Fengyue had colluded with Xijin, so it was hard to say whether Longzhou's officials were truly loyal to Beili.
