Although the Imperial Court tried very hard to restore order, the situation continued to gradually deteriorate. Not long after Qi Haoran returned, Jingzhou Prefecture on the east and Jiading Prefecture on the west were gradually lost, and the south of Jinghu was completely occupied by the rebels. The rebels had formed an alliance and were gathering in Lin'an City. Their vanguard had already arrived at Longxing Prefecture.
It was only a 12-day march from Longxing Prefecture to Lin'an City. If it was a cavalryman, it would only take three days. If it was a single person and two horses galloping at high speed, it would only take two days…
Emperor Jingyan panicked like never before, but there was no deployable talent in the Imperial Court.
Since all the useful generals had been sent out, Emperor Jingyan had no choice but to consider deploying Qi Haoran.
