Thus, the Xianbei and Xiongnu, who had been causing trouble for so long, were finally "driven out" of the Third Prince's territory by the Han army.
Of course, Cao Cao's reward to Damoshi was that he had annihilated them all.
On an unnamed hillside, Li Ru, dressed in a blue robe, stood alone, gazing towards the distant east.
