Everyone lowered their heads without speaking, and Shi Le knew this was not the time to hold anyone accountable, saying, "Summon him, and also, transfer troops from the other two armies to intercept on the roads leading to Yu State and Jianye!"
As soon as Kong Chang arrived, Shi Le ordered him to leave the city overnight, "Return to the camp immediately. If Gou Xi is still there, arrest him at once. If he has rebelled, send people to pursue him immediately."
Shi Le's face was gloomy, and he said sternly, "If he is willing to surrender again, so be it. But if he dares to resist, kill him without mercy!"
Kong Chang agreed and immediately took people out of the city to return to the camp.
Before reaching the camp, he encountered a soldier urgently reporting the news. Kong Chang heard that Gou Xi really rebelled and fled the camp, feeling both furious and cold. He immediately returned to the camp with his men and then dispatched a large army to chase him.
