Chapter seven Biography of Zudi(22)
In the first year of Jianwu (317), Zu Ti stationed himself in Luzhou (now Bo County, Anhui Province). He sent Yin Ai to contact Zhang Fan and Zhang Fan. Yin Ai, however, scorned Zhang Ping, believing that he could not keep his head. Zhang Ping killed Yin Yi in anger and defended his troops against the Northern Lumberjack Army. When Zu Ti failed to attack the city, he used a trick to entice Xie Fu, the general of Zhang Ping's department. Taking the opportunity to discuss the situation with Zhang Ping, Xie Fu killed Zhang Ping and led his troops to surrender. Zu Ti entered Taiqiu, but his army was in a difficult situation because of lack of food.
After Zhang Ping's death, Ya Ya still occupied Qiao City. Fanya led a night attack on the Zu Ti camp, causing chaos in the army.. Zu Ti calmly commanded Dong Zhao and defended him bravely, finally repelled Fanya. But they were attacked by the rest of Zhang Ping. They asked Chen Chuan, Lord of Pengwu Fort, and Wang Han, General of the South Chinese Lang, for help.. Chen Chuan and Wang Han sent their generals Li Tou and Huan Xuan to help the battle. Zu Ti asked Huan Xuan to persuade Fanya to surrender. Huan Xuan rode into Qiao City and said to Fan Ya, "Zu Ti is preparing to beat Liu Cong and Shi Le, so he needs your support. It was Yin Ai's rudeness, which was not Zu Ti's intention. If we make peace now, we can not only establish loyalty, but also preserve wealth and honor. But if you want to be stubborn, the court will send a strong general, with your rabble, a dangerous city, and a strong thief watching from the north. Nothing will be safe. "Fanya then went out of the city and surrendered.
