Afterwards, he, together with his army, helped Shi Ba Shou break through to the Qin HQ and during the breakthrough, approaching Den Ri Mi, he did not mutilate his body when he saw that he had let out a sigh.

After the battle, while in his tent, he spoke with Sou'Ou, who came to him and, having voluntarily surrendered, tearfully asked to show him Shi Ryou's body or what was left of her.
