As the battle raged on, a military unit suddenly mutinied. The situation, once so favorable for the Liang Army, turned dire as they were ambushed, and Li Hongyun himself fell in the chaos.
The Liang Army thus completely collapsed.
Upon revisiting the battle, Li Hongyun realized that this collapse was actually due to a trivial matter.
He had not made rewards and punishments clear.
During the previous major battles against Xue Ju and Liu Heita under Song Jingang, although he fought bravely and led by example, establishing a certain level of authority and firmly grasping military power, he had neglected to pay much attention to the distribution of rewards after the battles.
After accepting Emperor Gaozu of Liang's rewards, he merely glanced at the list of rewards submitted by his subordinates, found no major issues, and carried out its distribution.
But what he didn't realize was that there were many unreasonable aspects on that list.
