並奚王之眾，撫其帳部，擬於國族，三也。 He absorbed the Xi king's followers and settled their tribes on a par with the imperial clan—third.

有英雄之智者三：任國舅以耦皇族，崇乙室以抗奚王，列二院以制遙輦是已。 Three marks of strategic genius: pairing maternal uncles with the imperial line, raising Yishi to counter the Xi king, and dividing Two Courts to restrain the Yaolian.
