He certainly knew that Wei Xiaokuan had another reason for sending him to guard Jinzhou: Jinzhou was backed by the Liaoxi Corridor.
He was able to receive reinforcements from his brother, Li Qin.
At the same time, if the situation becomes unfavorable, he can always escape through the Liaoxi Corridor to Shanhaiguan.
However, in Liaodong, they could only fight to the death against the Tatar army.
Both Jinzhou and Liaodong must be defended.
One is more difficult, the other is relatively less difficult.
It can be said that Liaodong is more difficult to defend than Liaodong, and a famous general is needed to defend it.
