General Meng hesitated. He needed to first pacify the bandits and horse thieves within the pass before he could focus on the affairs outside the pass. Sending troops to chase a few people now clearly wasn't worthwhile.
But thinking of Yin Huo and their identities, he got a bit of a headache.
It wouldn't have mattered if he didn't know, but knowing and turning a blind eye was unacceptable.
So, he thought for a moment and said, "First, treat those who are still alive, then interrogate them to find out where their hideout is. If it's not too far, then we can send troops to wipe it out."
The deputy general acknowledged with a "Yes."
Junior General Meng, after receiving a beating, limped back and heard that his father was still considering whether to chase them. Immediately, he clutched his backside to find his father.
How could he not seek revenge for such a humiliation? He had to give chase, not only to chase but also to personally pursue them.
