At the time, Li Yuande, Inspector of Yingchuan, led the remnants of his defeated army and two hundred soldiers to flee back to Xiangcheng. Liu Cui ordered him to help Gao Daojin defend Xiangcheng resolutely and requested the court to pardon Li Yuande for the crime of defeat at Xuchang. The court consultation also commended him for this.
