It was too cold, so Li Guang lit a brazier in the room, and the two sat around it, chatting and warming themselves.
After chatting for a while, the landlord spoke up:
"Li Guang, there's something you've heard about."
Upon seeing the landlord's expression, Li Guang knew it was not a good thing.
"Sir, I don't know what you're talking about."
“Yesterday, one of my students came to visit. He is from the capital and is a court official. He told me some shocking news.”
I've heard that the vassal state, in alliance with two other countries, is preparing to send 500,000 troops to invade the Northern Dynasty. After occupying the Central Plains, they intend to divide the Northern Dynasty's territory among themselves.
Li Guang was greatly surprised upon hearing this.
Is this information accurate?
"That should be accurate. These three countries had this plan two years ago, and it has finally been implemented this time."
With 500,000 troops, which is basically their entire military force, it seems they are determined to win.
The Northern Dynasty had only 200,000 troops stationed on the northern frontier, which was insufficient to stop the attack of the three-nation allied forces.
Although the Great Northern Dynasty had a total military force of 500,000 to 600,000, its territory was too large, and these troops were too few to defend all the fortresses, and they could not be mobilized.
Currently, only 100,000 troops are available to be mobilized in the capital, but once they are transferred, the capital will be left vulnerable.
Even if the 100,000 garrison troops were transferred away to cooperate with the 200,000 troops in the northern border, it would still be impossible to stop the invading 500,000-strong army.
Perhaps the imperial court already knew about this news, but dared not announce it for fear of causing chaos.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, the allied forces of the three kingdoms will invade the Great Northern Dynasty within one or two years.
