Although Chen Mo has never been to Fuyou City, he has learned about the major cities of Qingzhou from books.
Fuyou City is the largest city in Qingzhou closest to the Northern Land. Strategically, it is the first line of defense in Qingzhou. If Fuyou City falls, it means there are no more defenses before Nanyang, and they can only fight by relying on the city.
Impatiens is also a major city in Qingzhou, second only to Nanyang in population. It is located on the right flank of Nanyang. If Impatiens falls as well, Nanyang will be completely surrounded by the rebel army.
It can be said that the situation in Nanyang is very critical at the moment.
In order to rescue Impatiens and relieve the siege of Nanyang, conscription is necessary.
According to Wu Mountain, Pingting County only received a quota of five hundred due to the County Magistrate being a student of the Lord Prefect. Other counties received quotas of a thousand, and some with larger populations received even more.
