He still wants to live for two more years. Wouldn't it be nice to stay in his fiefdom and manage his own little piece of land?
The reason why they had to send troops to Sizhou this time was that the Cheng'an army had insufficient food reserves. After the crops were planted in the newly reclaimed fields, none of them survived in the summer.
