Zhang Xun
Linghu Chao personally asked Zhang Xun to surrender, to which Zhang Xun replied, "For your whole life, you have been known for your loyalty. Where is your loyalty now?" Upon returning to the fortress, Zhang Xun decided that if he let the siege continue as it was, the fortress might fall within that day. So to everyone's surprise, he suddenly led 1,000 men out of the fortress to charge at Linghu Chao's position. The rebels were totally unprepared for the battle. Linghu Chao's numerous men retreated for a few miles, before returning to the fortress.
