The Jin army was initially victorious, but a subsequent confusion in communications led the Jin army to believe that it was being defeated, and the army collapsed. In the confusion, the major general <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Zhou_Dewei?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Zhou Dewei">Zhou Dewei</a> was killed, and Li Siyuan lost communications with Li Cunxu, while Li Congke was in the small group of soldiers accompanying Li Cunxu himself. Li Siyuan, believing that Li Cunxu had already crossed the Yellow River north back into Jin territory, headed north across the river, while Li Cunxu, in actuality, was still trying to battle out of the confused rout. Li Congke, serving under Li Cunxu, subsequently assisted Li Cunxu in capturing an earthen mound, allowing Li Cunxu to have superior positioning to launch a counterattack. The Jin counterattack was successful, allowing the Jin army to kill a large number of Later Liang soldiers and leading to the overall battle being effectively a draw, with both armies having lost two-thirds of their soldiers and unable to attack each other again for some time. At the end of the battle, Li Cunxu was able to capture Puyang (濮陽, in modern <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Puyang?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Puyang">Puyang</a>, <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Henan?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Henan">Henan</a>) as a waypoint to his eventual withdrawal back to his own territory. Li Congke also contributed to the successful counterattack. When Li Siyuan subsequently heard that Li Cunxu was at Puyang, he turned back south and rendezvoused with Li Cunxu there. Li Cunxu, displeased, stated, "Lord, you believed that I was dead? Why did you cross the river?" Li Siyuan had to bow and apologize. It was said that Li Cunxu acted like he forgave Li Siyuan due to Li Congke's contributions, but did not completely do so in his heart, distancing himself from Li Siyuan for several years.<sup id="cite_ref-ZZTJ270_12-1" class="reference"><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Li_Congke?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-ZZTJ270-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p> </section> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(3)"> <span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span> <h2 id="During_Li_Cunxu's_reign_as_emperor_of_Later_Tang"><span id="During_Li_Cunxu.27s_reign_as_emperor_of_Later_Tang"></span>During Li Cunxu's reign as emperor of Later Tang</h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Li_Congke&action=edit&section=3&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: During Li Cunxu's reign as emperor of Later Tang" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <section class="mf-section-3 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-3"> <p>In 922, Li Cunxu claimed the title of emperor of a new state of <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Later_Tang?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Later Tang">Later Tang</a>. However, at that time, Later Tang was facing military pressure both from Later Liang and Khitan, and the military food supply and morale were low.

Shortly after Li Cunxu's declaration of imperial title, however, Lu defected to Later Tang and revealed that Yun was defended by less than 1,000 soldiers and that Liu and Yan lacked support from the soldiers. He advocated that Later Tang attack it by surprise. As Yun was deep in Later Liang territory south of the Yellow River, however, most of Li Cunxu's generals, including his chief of staff (<i><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Shumishi?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Shumishi">Shumishi</a></i>) <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Guo_Chongtao?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Guo Chongtao">Guo Chongtao</a>, opposed Lu's proposal, believing that it would be dangerous and futile. Li Siyuan, however, wanting to repair his relationship with Li Cunxu, offered to command this mission by himself. Li Cunxu agreed, and allowed him to take 5,000 soldiers to, under cover of darkness, rapidly descend on Yun to attack it.
