The Wujiang Prefecture campaign was a resounding victory, with the entire 250,000-strong Xuanbei army wiped out. It was estimated that the enemy would not attempt to cross the river again anytime soon.
Presently, upon heeding Tan Xiao's words, the imperial court realized that the greatest threat stemmed from the twelve massive warships and the Wei State. After all, the Wei State possessed twenty to thirty such giant warships; if each could carry five thousand men, they could transport over a hundred thousand soldiers in a single wave. Should they quietly land somewhere, these troops would thrust straight into the heartland and become the single greatest danger to the entire Southern Kingdom.
Naturally, this applied even more to Yiding Kingdom. Their forces were already scattered and relatively weak. If the enemy chose to attack them, twelve fully laden giant warships from the Xuanbei Kingdom could potentially crush them into utter disarray. Fortunately, their large island held a sizable garrison. There was also no need for excessive worry regarding Chang'an, which also stationed numerous troops. Ever since the enemy reinforced their border troops last time, Yiding Kingdom had likewise substantially increased its garrison.
