Previously, it was mentioned that Yan Qi, the deputy commander of the Yanshen Army, learned the true objective of their current operation and secretly launched a thorough purge of the entire Yanshen Army behind the back of Yan Shen.
Yan Qi showed no mercy to those who violated military regulations. Regardless of their status or position, they faced appropriate punishment. Those whose offenses were especially egregious were executed on the spot, and their souls were drawn into the battle flag to make a final contribution to the Yanshen Army.
At first, some of the veteran officers who had been left in the dark opposed this move. But after receiving a subtle hint from Yan Qi, sudden understanding dawned upon them, and they grasped the reason behind his actions. Consequently, they raised no further objections and even willingly stepped forward to accept their punishment. By leading by example, they successfully restored calm to the previously restless Yanshen Army.
