金師南下，悉出禁旅付梁方平守黎陽。 When the Jin armies marched south, the entire palace guard was sent out under Liang Fangping to hold Liyang.

今方平掃精銳以北，萬有一不枝梧，何以善吾後，盍留以衛根本。」 Fangping is now sweeping our best troops north. If they should fail to hold, how will we secure our rear? We ought to keep a force here to guard the capital itself."
