After receiving Zhao Yong's promise not to hold his family accountable for killing them, the Zhi family army defending Jinyang City surrendered completely.
Meanwhile, in Zhiyi, the stronghold of the Zhi family, upon learning that their patriarch had been killed and their entire army of three to four hundred thousand men had been wiped out, they also surrendered to Zhao Yong...
Zhao Yong led the Zhao-Wei allied forces and directly occupied Zhiyi, where they massacred the entire Zhi family, leaving no one alive.
In this incident, Zhao Yong did something "unethical".
His "forgive and forget" attitude is also a double standard.
Since the Zhi family's army consisted entirely of soldiers from the Jin state, he could, of course, let bygones be bygones.

Jiang Ming planned to dismantle the Jin state and then take the three clan heads to Luoyi, the capital of the Great Khan, to have him recognize their status as feudal lords.
Then, he also had the Great Gan Emperor appoint him as "Fangbo," the highest military commander in the land, so that he could use the emperor to command the disobedient lords and teach them a lesson on behalf of the Great Gan Emperor.
The entire Da Gan region was already in disarray. Jiang Ming wanted to use the name of the Da Gan emperor to reunite them, then exercise real power and control the country!
This method is much less costly than destroying one country after another!
