The military pressure on Henan Prefecture and Dong Prefecture, which are adjacent to Ji Province, was also greatly relieved.
The large number of troops previously stationed in these two prefectures had naturally become unnecessary and could be reduced to a certain extent.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Yuan directly disbanded the Western Route Army and retracted the troops under Huang Lin's command, as well as the many Inborn Grandmasters including himself, back into his hands.
Not only the Western Route Army, but Qingyunzi's Heyang Expeditionary Army was also conveniently disbanded.
The troops from the disbanded armies, including the Inborn, were all incorporated under the Middle Route Army's command.
As for the defense and public safety of Henan, Nanyang, and Dong Prefecture after the disbandment of the two armies, it was transferred to the concurrently established local Prefectures and Counties' soldiers.
