After that, in the vast land of Three Jin, the manor of Lord Jingnan and the Jingnan Army would be the true rulers of this region!
Li Fusheng's North Defense Army might eventually have to be absorbed by Lord Jingnan. After all, they still had to deal with counterattacks from the snowy plains and remain wary of Chu State. It would be impossible to maintain stability here without a true authority.
Only Lord Jingnan—or rather, only he—could effectively manage such a situation.
To put it another way, whether it was the original Cheng State Army, the Yan State Imperial Guard, or the local forces—even the North Defense Army—all would be thoroughly integrated in the not-too-distant future!
Perhaps, due to historical reasons, the North Defense Army might retain some degree of autonomy. Nevertheless, all other military forces would be incorporated into the Jingnan Army's ranks, subservient only to the commands of Lord Jingnan's manor!
