On the fourth of July, Lord Qin fell ill, and as Prince Qi, he assumed command.
The stalemate continued into August, during which time he persistently sent cavalry to harass Xue Ju's supply lines and logistics.
At this moment, due to the lack of a major defeat for the Liang Army, Xue Ju's forces certainly dared not besiege Ningzhou State but continued the standoff.
By the ninth of August, around the time of Xue Ju's death, they directly took advantage of the chaos to sweep them away.
The plan was quite good, but whether it could succeed still depended on the execution phase.
Therefore, to ensure nothing went wrong, Li Hongyun added a talent for skilled archery and riding, making sure that in the brightest moments of battle, he, as Prince Qi, could personally join the fray.
Even if he couldn't perform as phenomenally as Lord Qin, he at least had to show a willingness to lead the charge.
