Mr. Chen said, "The Xiongnu's massive army will not head south; they will probably plunder in the Luoyang area and then leave."
He continued, "Prince East Sea's army is not to be trifled with. Once his army returns for defense, the Xiongnu army will naturally retreat, and there's also the army of Prince Nanyang."
Zhao Hanzhang pondered, "In this case, Your Majesty and the others will soon return to Luoyang."
Mr. Chen sighed, "Yes, once the army returns for defense and the reinforcements from various regions head to the capital, we can return to Luoyang. It could be as short as two or three months or as long as a year."
Next to him, Chen Erniang couldn't understand, "Father, since Prince East Sea will return in at most a year, why are we going through so much trouble to flee?"
"Don't speak nonsense, if we don't flee, in a year we'll all be skeletons."
