Li Qin sat in the main seat, looking at Peng Jiahu, the first person to stand up.
He thought to himself, "I knew it, he would be the first to step forward."
He was the vanguard general in defeating the Jizhou garrison and breaking through the 200,000-strong army of the capital.
Having the advantage of favorable timing and popular support, they easily overwhelmed the opponent with a single charge.
