Xu Di waved his hand and said, "Why are you talking about morality and ethics with a bunch of beasts? If they don't listen to you, don't waste your breath. Just grab a big stick and beat them. Talking too much is pointless."

Zheng Boyuan had originally intended to vent his resentment further, but Xu Di's words calmed him down considerably. He sighed and said, "Brother-in-law, in your opinion, what should we do?"

Xu Di said, "Do things the way they should. You are the one leading troops into battle, so naturally you should train your troops well. When the enemy attacks, kill the invading enemy. You must remember that only when we are strong and capable will those who want to come and take advantage of us have something to worry about. From today onwards, you should increase the intensity of the soldiers' training. It's not just about physical fitness, but also about mastering military boxing and improving their ability to fight in the water. In the future, your battlefield will be this sea area."

After Xu Di returned, he quickly wrote a letter to the capital. He first wrote to his grandfather, asking him to consider when to send the letter to Emperor Liang Cheng. He had only heard the news from a few prisoners, so it was hard to tell if it was true or false, and he couldn't send it to the emperor in a big way.

He wrote a letter to Liaodong, instructing them to pay close attention to the movements of the Jin people, especially in areas bordering Goguryeo territory. They must strengthen their defenses and prevent the Jin people from using Goguryeo as a route to invade Liaodong from both the north and south.

Fearing a repeat of the war, Xu Di is now considering whether to send his family to the capital.

After returning home, Xu Di invited Chen Zhaoci and Granny Lu to his study. He took out the topographical map he had drawn and explained the situation to them. The two women, who had both participated in that thrilling battle, looked at each other in bewilderment. Chen Zhaoci, in particular, was not only a survivor but also gave birth to her youngest son on the battlefield.
