Liu Cong would never sit idly by and wait for death; he was determined to break through!
Therefore, he divided his forces into four routes, each with a central tent. Even though Zhao Hanzhang had scouts sent by Ji Yuan and connections within Liu Yi's Xiongnu forces, she couldn't immediately discern which route he was on.
Zhao Hanzhang simply treated each route as if Liu Cong were there.
She devised a plan for Liu Kun and instructed Zhao Ju to attack Hunlu County, with Zhao Ju blocking one route, her another, and Zeng Yue the third.
Linghu Ni had been considered Zhao Hanzhang's man back in Jinyang, so this time, Zhao Hanzhang used him as the vanguard while she commanded from behind.
Everyone knew this battle was a do-or-die situation. The Xiongnu Army was exceptionally fierce, and even with Zhao Hanzhang's surrender order, few were willing to surrender; they charged forward exchanging their lives for lives.
