In order to divert the anger of the herdsmen, Danta targeted neighboring countries, frequently harassing the borderlines and looting property with his troops.

Fours parts of its borderlines out of three quarters adjoined the grassland. Every year, it faced harassment from the Qiyan Light Cavalry, causing border villagers to suffer.
Fengqi also had a one-sixth border with the grasslands.
