"Zilong, currently due to the insufficient strength of our army, the chaos within Jizhou has not been completely settled, and the calamity of roving bandits and runaway soldiers occurs from time to time; the road is not stable. You are to go to Mount Tai and escort the families back." After sending away Ma Teng and Xiahou Yuan, Liu Bei turned and said to Zhao Yun.
"Understood." Zhao Yun clasped his fists in salute, then turned towards the Ye City military camp to prepare to lead his trusted aide to Mount Tai.
As Liu Bei said, the road is indeed unstable right now. Even though Liu Bei's actions are incredibly swift, there still remain many complications. Restoring order after a war, despite being fast, cannot be accomplished within one or two months, especially under circumstances where the transmission of information and troop mobilization are not particularly rapid.
