Since the troops started moving on the night of the twenty-sixth, not to mention fighting a proper battle, he hasn't even exerted his full strength once.
The reason is simple: before the battle, Li Xuanling had already divided his forces with a strategy targeting Yangqu Town, and Yangqu Town had concentrated all its troops in the Town from the beginning, like a turtle, completely ignoring other territories.
As a result, Yuan Cheng's rear forces advanced north from Chui Mountain, without engaging in a single battle, directly occupying four major camps of Yangqu, and then surrounding Yangqu.
After surrounding Yangqu, Yuan Cheng was eager to attack the city, his desire almost uncontrollable, but Xia Chuan intervened due to an order from Cai Qiu's messenger, commanding him not to attack the city on his own.
