[Avatar:TLA] Why was Long Feng so dismissive of Team Avatar's war information?

Long Feng was the power behind the Earth King's throne, running all day-to-day matters including military.  He must have been coordinating the Earth Kingdom-wide war effort, even if he didn't allow such things to be spoken aloud in the city.  So when Team Avatar appeared with information about an upcoming solar eclipse, why did he not jump at the chance to end the war?  It seems like it would've been easier to keep hold on his power without an invader knocking on his walls.

If memory serves, the Earth King was under the impression that the conflict with the Fire Nation was limited to small skirmishes far from Ba Sing Se.  Mobilizing an Earth Kingdom force would have almost certainly alerted the Earth King to the fact that the War was much grander in scope than Long Feng and the Dai Li had allowed him to know.

With the King informed -- or at least suspicious -- of his advisors' deception, he likely would not have allowed them to maintain their influence and authority over day-to-day ruling.
