@ZYHLJ
All those are very good ways but they didn't get any of these. XY is the eldest princess of Haoling if she had married XL he can be the King of Haoling and no one will hurt his army. Then XL wouldn't have to die nor will his loyalty be compromised.
Let's assume that Hong Jiang saw the marriage between XY and XL as an opportunity to use Haoling to defeat Xiyan, and then XY successfully married FFB. Then, after a series of private operations, Chenrong army and Haoling formed an alliance to jointly resist Xiyan. Later, of course, Xiyan sent troops to attack the alliance. At this time, if the alliance wins(which is possible if XL is the commander-in-chief, actually I'd love to see him display his true military talents with a real army), the happy ending we are looking forward to may appear, and if the alliance loses (Haoling lost in the book), I am pretty sure that Hong Jiang will once again become the only general refuses to surrender...Then, our unluckiest demon in demon history XL, who is already prince of Haoling, will once again face the world-class multiple-choice question: Should he choose to accompany his wife and children, or defend his adoptive father and comrades? Jesus it seems he's been trapped in this ridiculous cycle till the end of time, ever since the day he went back to the Hong Jiang dude...
