The moment Liu Hong appeared, the entire training ground fell silent, and everyone stared excitedly at the emperor on horseback.

Since his fainting spell, in addition to his daily dietary supplements, Liu Hong has been practicing Hua Tuo's "Five Animal Frolics" every day. In his spare time, he also often consults Wang Yue, Mo Shang, and others on some techniques for strengthening the body.

Therefore, although Liu Hong is only fifteen years old, he is already very strong. Coupled with his magnificent armor and the steed he is riding, he looks very imposing.

Upon approaching, Liu Hong pulled on the reins, bringing the troops to a steady stop in front of them.

Looking at the resolute faces of his soldiers and meeting their burning gazes, Liu Hong on horseback was also filled with heroic spirit.

He slowly drew the Emperor's Sword from his waist and pointed it northward.

"Set off!!"

With a loud shout from Liu Hong, all the soldiers turned around in unison, and then, led by military academies of various levels, began to march north in an orderly manner.

For this expedition, Liu Hong only brought along a group of young officials, including Xi Zhicai, Zhong Yao, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Zhou Yi, and Zhang Zhao.

As for the older and middle-aged officials such as Chen Fan, Hu Guang, Xun Shuang, Cao Song, and Yuan Feng, they remained in Luoyang to manage state affairs.

As the Emperor and the Rear Army set off, the research and manufacturing backbone led by Mo Shang, the engineering team of the College of Engineering led by Zhang Zhen, the medical team of the Medical College led by Hua Tuo, and the royal transport team of the Royal Merchant Guild followed closely behind.

Apart from the main force of 37,000 troops, a massive army of over 150,000 men marched northward in a grand procession.
