Summary

Dayu and his son viewed the situation with Yi Di differently, believing that whether Yi Di succeeded or failed in commanding a retreat would affect his reputation and their plans. A decree of amnesty was drafted for Yi Di, ordering the besieging enemies to withdraw, which Dayu approved. The Guandou tribe elder decided to meet Yi Di, showcasing their military strength to intimidate the defenders of Jun Tai.
