The soldiers may pass between Suizhou and Lishan and flee to the northern foot of Huaishan Mountain to join Luo Xiancheng. In the north of Xiaochang, Ziang led two brigades of soldiers and horses to guard Lishan. Zhou Tong supervised the battle in Suizhou, with six brigades of soldiers and horses, and the inner city of Suizhou

There are still more than 3,000 remnant bandits that have not surrendered, and I am afraid that there will be no spare power to set up an ambush between Suizhou and Lishan to intercept Zhong Rong..."

"Ask Zi'ang to seize Zaoyang and send troops to penetrate between Huaishan and Tongbai Mountains. Call Luo Xiancheng. Zhongrong enters the northern range of Huaishan and has no chance to escape to Nanyang." Lin Fu said.

"Luo Xiancheng cannot enter Tongbai Mountain, and from Huaishan Mountain to the north, there is a mighty Huai River in the middle of Xinyang Mansion, making it impossible for Luo Xiancheng to cross. He is desperate and may surrender to Dong Yuan." Gao Zongting said.

"Isn't that what Dong Yuan had in mind? Why not ask him to take back those defeated soldiers? This time we ask him to lose all his bottoms and trousers, so what's the point next?" Lin Fu laughed and said,

"Draft a Privy Council order for me and send it to Dong Yuan: He can take the defeated soldiers as he pleases, but I must see the heads of Luo Xiancheng and Zhong Rong..."

Zuo Chengmu heard this and was surprised: after Luo Xiancheng and Zhong Rong reunited, there were still 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers and horses, and their escape route to the north was blocked. There was indeed the possibility of surrendering to Dong Yuan and begging for his life - Huaidong would not care about Luo Xiancheng at this time.

surrendered, but Dong Yuan, who was already greedy, would inevitably be hungry.

Dong Yuan occupied Huaixi, and over the years he had suppressed Tao Chun and Xiao Kui'an and cultivated his own direct lineage. There were 110,000 troops in Huaixi, but now 60,000 to 70,000 were his direct lineage. Then he asked Dong Yuan to recruit Luo Xiancheng and Zhong Rong.

If the troops were surrendered, their strength would increase sharply again. How confident could Lin Fu be that Dong Yuan would obediently surrender the heads of Luo Xiancheng and Zhong Rong to Dong Yuan?

Although Huaidong will have an absolute advantage after this battle, after all, Daiyuan has not yet established itself. If Dong Yuan bypassed the Privy Council and directly requested a pardon for Luo Xiancheng from Emperor Yongxing, Lin Fu would not be able to accept Zhong Rong's edict in a short time.
