He pondered for a moment and then asked, "How do you plan to take revenge? As far as I know, the main forces of the Eight Banners are in the north, and Li Dingguo is in the lower reaches of the Liao River in the southeast! You can't go through the Liaoze, or take a long detour through the grassland to the lower reaches of the Liao River, right?"
"Please forgive me, sir. I was only responsible for gathering information. How to take revenge is Prince Zheng's business, and I have no knowledge of it." The Jiannu spy answered honestly.

Wu Sangui thought for a moment and said: "After counting the amount, break the gold into small pieces and bring them to the central military camp, and put the calligraphy and paintings into the box. Do not damage them."
"Also, send out scouts to find the location of the Jiannu main force!"
