The enemy army, having lost its advantageous position, was hurling curses, in response to which Old Cheng on the castle tower burst into laughter!
"Thinking of our Great General single-handedly taking you on as if playing cat and mouse, and yet you still have the audacity to make noise here. I don't know what state your faces need to be in to remain still while Mount Tai is on the verge of collapse. I don't know about the others, but I, Old Cheng, certainly admire it!"
The enemy generals were left speechless by his words.
Jun Ruochen ordered his troops to withdraw, his gaze on the castle complex.
Soon thereafter, he sent a letter to Shengjing in the middle of the night to report about the assassination of Great General Cao.
Before long, news arrived from Shengjing.
An Imperial Decree was issued, ordering Jun Ruochen to return to the capital immediately, and the Imperial Court reassigned a trusted General Zhou Zhenchao to replace him.
