Under the off-field guidance of Emperor Taizu of Sheng, Fan Cun, through Liu Fa, had thoroughly reorganized the Western Army in his hands and, using various monies, provisions, and treasures obtained from the conquest of Xixia, had integrated the elite troops tightly under his control.
At this time, the troops were almost done with their training, and much of the energy previously saved for Emperor Taizu of Sheng's off-field support had been expended.
It was time for Fan Cun to think about generating new energy to replenish Emperor Taizu of Sheng.
Upon seeing Prince Yun and Liu Fa, covered in dust from their hurried journey, Zhong Pingyuan was nearly moved to tears.
He could now understand what Liu Fa had felt back then.
Had Prince Yun arrived a step later, his troops would have already mutinied, and this elite Western Army would have long ceased to exist. And he himself would most likely have died amid the chaos.
