Meng Shenji's army met no real resistance in the Three Border Cities. The troops that had set out at noon were already able to enjoy dinner inside the Three Border Cities.
Seeing that there was no need for him to personally remain in command here, Ning Bei immediately found Meng Shenji and took his leave.
