Du Sanbao harbors deep resentment towards General Cui, driven by a fervent desire to atone for his past transgressions. Bai Qingyan had instructed to capture Cui Shanzhong alive at any cost, and Du Sanbao was determined to achieve this, even if it meant risking his own life.
At General Cui's command, the Xiliang soldiers fled the battlefield alongside their commander.
Xiao Rongyan, deeply concerned for Bai Qingyan, watched as the Zhou soldiers pursued the defeated Xiliang forces. He ordered Yue Shi to lead troops to block the Xiliang soldiers at the east, west, and north gates while he rode swiftly with his guards towards the city wall.
The guard accompanying Xiao Rongyan spurred his horse ahead to the city gate, shouting loudly, "Ninth Prince of the Yan Kingdom leads reinforcements, please open the gates of Jiangzi City."
