Qi was beaten defeated. Duke Zhuang issues an order to go by car to chase the Qi forces.
Then catch Qi’s defeated and dispersed soldiers.
After won a battle, duke Zhuang asked why he does do this. The reply said that, “Goes to war, emphasizes is the morale. First time beats a drum drives the morale; the second time beats a drum, the morale somewhat declines, the third time beats a drum, the morale did not have. The enemy did not have the morale, our morale just aroused, therefore defeated them. But the great nation is crafty, is unpredictable, perhaps can have the ambush. I climb up the top of carriage to look out looked their wheel rut is disorders, the flag went down, therefore only then dares to pursue them."
