The counties north of the Capital City are not in their hands. If they wish to advance northward, they might need to fight through one by one.
Chongshan Town's army moving south is not something that can happen quickly, so they need not hurry.
Aside from this, they also need to guard against Chen Hengchang from Jiangnan.
At this time, Yang Chengye, leading thirty thousand troops from the Camp, had already arrived at Pingyuan East Sun Prefecture and met up with Lin Zhan.
The first mover for Chongshan Town's army's southern advance wasn't the various Assistant Generals of Chongshan Town, but Yu Tonghai's Beihai Navy.
Upon receiving Yang Chengye's order, Yu Tonghai immediately led the Beihai Navy southward. In just three days, they stationed ten thousand officers and soldiers in Jizhou, blockading the Ru River's waterway.
Once the Ru River's waterway was blocked, it effectively cut off the communication between Liaodong and the Capital City.
