After Chen Dingye led the army to withdraw from Zhenbei City, he stationed and guarded a small city a hundred miles away. When Li Guanyi learned of this, he was neither surprised nor hesitant, nor did he rush over.
He was no longer someone easily swayed by outside events.
He continued to issue orders to handle the various aftermath matters of the Turkic grasslands.
He ensured that the vast grasslands would not face any new problems after his departure and laid Chen Tianqi to rest beside the Breaking Enemy Stele with sufficient ceremonial rites, erecting a new stele.
The stele was inscribed with characters of the Central Plains.
It read: "In the eighteenth year of the Divine Revelation, Prince Qin broke formation and campaigned against the Turks here."
Li Guanyi, wearing armor, extended his palm, pressed it against the stele, his hand passing over the rough blue stone, gazing at the inscriptions. There would be no more wars here; the material and craftsmanship of this stele.
