Li Zicheng led the rebel army to successfully conquer Taiyuan. When the news reached the capital, Emperor Chongzhen was horrified and immediately summoned his court officials to discuss countermeasures. Finally, it was decided that Li Jiantai would be the "acting emperor's governor" to attack Li Zicheng. When he led his army to Handan, he learned that Liu Fangliang's troops in the left camp of the rebel army were marching eastward along the Yellow River, so he immediately retreated north.
