Hồ Quý Ly
In 1380, Hồ Quý Ly had a minor victory over the troop of Chế Bồng Nga in Thanh Hóa, as a result, Đỗ Tử Bình had to give up his control of Đại Việt army to Hồ Quý Ly. However, in June 1383, Chế Bồng Nga opened a major campaign against Đại Việt, this time Trần Nghệ Tông was so afraid of the enemy that he escaped from Thăng Long ignoring advice from the royal court. This coward decision of Nghệ Tông was heavily criticized by the historian Ngô Sĩ Liên in his work "Đại Việt sử kí toàn thư".
