This news filled Liu Hong with excitement.
After discussion between Liu Hong and Lu Zhi, the 50,000 troops stationed in Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong were withdrawn and stationed in Chengde and Yuanling to guard against the invasion of the Northern Wuhuan.
Meanwhile, the 10,000 troops stationed in Xuantu, Liaodong, and Liaodong Commandery were stationed in Lelang County for naval warfare training.
At the same time, Liu Hong ordered the Yuyang Camp to begin constructing military fortifications between Chengde and Tongliao, connecting the western defense lines of Liaozhou and the northern defense lines of Youzhou into one.
This defensive line, known as the Youliao Defense Line, once established, would not only block the southward and eastward advances of the Northern Wuhuan and the Eastern Xianbei, but also give them control of the offensive.

Inside the large tent, Liu Hong stared intently at the map of the Han Dynasty that the officials had redrawn.
The officers inside the tent looked at each other in bewilderment as they listened to the emperor muttering to himself.
