Map of the Kingdom's Warfare.

Summary

Zhang Xuan waits in the county office to negotiate with Wang Shi Chong about returning soldiers and acquiring ships. He consults Wei Yun Qi, who suggests asking for ships and the return of elderly people to enhance Zhang Xuan's reputation. When Wang Shi Yun arrives, Zhang Xuan directly asks for half of the ten large ships and the elderly. Wang Shi Yun agrees to the ships but needs to discuss the elderly with his commander, Wang Shi Chong, who is furious about the situation. After deliberation, Wang Shi Chong decides to return the elderly over sixty while keeping those over fifty. Days later, ships arrive with the elderly, and Zhang Xuan welcomes them, ensuring their comfort. Wang Shi Yun admits that many elderly were not returned due to family objections but agrees to Zhang Xuan's request for the ships. Zhang Xuan instructs that the elderly be treated well and allowed to choose their destination.
