Li Xuan had also obtained, at Poyang Lake, a fearsome general from the end of the yuan and the beginning of the Jin Dynasty—Zhang Dingbian.
This was a Wushuang General of the Han dynasty, known as "Xiaomeng," who had charged alone into the great battle at Poyang Lake, aimed straight for Emperor Tai of Jin, and almost single-handedly slew the Great Ancestor before being shot by Prince Kaiping, Chang Shiwang, and was then forced to retreat.
This man was also intensely loyal, having supported Chen Li, the son of Prince Han Chen Liang, after his death, and contested against the Jin Dynasty from Wuchang for two years, finally surrendering only due to Chen Li's unwavering determination.
However, a few years after Chen Li's surrender, Zhang Dingbian was brought to Poyang Lake, where he was strangled to death on the former battlefield.
