At noon, the battle in Linyun County was basically over, and the road was full of dejected Japanese prisoners.

Because the battle lines of the Ming army and the Japanese people in the city were staggered, so when the Ming army and the people counterattacked, many Japanese people were trapped in the city, and many people chose to surrender after some resistance, after all, there is only one life, and not many people want to lose their lives in the case of isolation.

Although the army won the battle, Linyun County was greatly damaged, and a large number of buildings were destroyed by fire, and it was full of devastation as far as the eye could see.

However, fortunately, because Li Yuntian transferred the people, the people in the city were not hurt too much, and the dead and wounded were basically young men who fought against the Japanese people.

Accompanied by Wang Lu and others, Li Yuntian made a solemn look in the county town, and the reason why he was able to smash Chen Guangzong's sneak attack this time was that the people in the city made great contributions, and it was precisely because those young and middle-aged people joined the battle that they effectively stopped the advance of the Japanese people.

After the scuffle, the streets of the city were littered with corpses, and the people who survived the disaster wept while collecting the bodies of the soldiers and civilians who died in the battle, and many men, women, and children gathered in front of their dead relatives and wept bitterly.

"Where are Chen Guangzong and Gu Chen?" Li Yuntian's brows furrowed tightly, and he asked Lin Xin who was following behind him in a deep voice, the reason why there was today's situation Chen Guangzong and Gu Chen were the initiators, he didn't want the two of them to run away like this.

"Lord Wang, according to the news from his subordinates, Gu Chen took the lead in leaving and his whereabouts are unknown, Chen Guangzong fled east under the cover of a group of subordinates, and General Wendu and others have already gone to pursue." Lin Xin bowed to Li Yuntian and replied methodically.

"This Gu Chen slipped away quite fast." Li Yuntian couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard this, Gu Chen must have had a premonition that Chen Guangzong would fail, so he slipped away in advance, compared to Chen Guangzong, Gu Chen was a greater threat to him, Chen Guangzong would return to the Wa Kingdom after defeat, and Gu Chen would continue to make trouble for him in the Ming realm.

"Pass the order to go down, go all out to hunt down Chen Guangzong, and be sure to arrest him." Subsequently, Li Yuntian gave an order to Lin Xin in a deep voice.

Chen Guangzong was in a sense let go by Li Yuntian, and this time he was bitten to death by Wen Du and others, so he hoped to arrest him to end this public case, and at the same time to avenge the dead people.

As a soldier whose military attainments in Linyun County were second only to Li Yuntian, he actively organized the Ming army and civilians to carry out defense, effectively stopping the advance of the Japanese soldiers and the Japanese invaders, so that the Japanese people could not break through the last line of defense of the Ming army.

Li Yuntian was a little glad in his heart that he had brought Wendu with him this time, otherwise it would have been unknown whether the soldiers and civilians in the city would be able to resist the attack of the Japanese people.

At the same time, Li Yuntian also let Wen Du see the unity of the Ming army and people from the Ming army and people working together to fight against the Japanese people, you must know that Linyun County is just an ordinary state and county in the south of the Ming Dynasty, but the Timurid Empire can not do this, their people lack the cohesion of the Ming army and the people, which is the biggest difference between the Ming and the Timurid Empire.

In fact, Wen Du also secretly felt fortunate in his heart, after experiencing the battle in Linyun County, he felt the cohesion of the Ming army and people, and was glad that Li Yuntian was not a war maniac, otherwise the Timurid Empire would be gradually encroached upon and annexed by the Ming Dynasty, and the economic strength of the Ming Dynasty was enough to launch a war to annex the Timurid Empire.

"Don't worry, Songjiang Mansion and the surrounding prefectures and counties have already sent people to encircle and suppress Chen Guangzong, and the ships of the sailors will also block the coastline, and he can't escape."

Lin Xin now knows the grievances between Li Yuntian and Chen Guangzong, and knows that Chen Guangzong hates Li Yuntian because of the Lianghuai Salt Road case that year, so he has already arranged the encirclement and suppression of Chen Guangzong.

It is worth mentioning that the cavalry sent by Li Yuntian to call for help from the east gate shouldered an important task, that is, to inform the people in the coastal villages and towns east of Linyun County to evacuate the coastal ships, so that Chen Guangzong could not use the local ships to go ashore, and had to rely on the Japanese ships that came to meet them.

"Where's the purple cuckoo?" Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, and then remembered something.

The ships that came to meet Chen Guangzong must be large ships, and the targets at sea are relatively large, and the coastal fishermen have ventilated the news, so as long as the Ming army sailors can come in time to block the sea, then it is still very likely to catch Chen Guangzong.

The closest Ming ships to the eastern waters of Linyun County were the three-masted warships that were parked at the wharf of Songjiang Prefecture, and it was completely possible to block the sea and sink the Japanese ships before Chen Guangzong arrived in the eastern seas.

This is also the reason why Gu Chen reminded Chen Guangzong that the time was urgent, the Japanese people at the north gate and the east gate had not been able to completely stop the cavalry sent by Li Yuntian to ask for help, so the three-masted warship at the dock of Songjiang Mansion would definitely rush to reinforcements after learning that Li Yuntian had been attacked, leaving not much time for Chen Guangzong.

It's a pity that Chen Guangzong has been blinded by hatred, and he didn't give those widows a way out at all, Gu Chen didn't want to accompany Chen Guangzong to go crazy like this, so he left early.

"Lord Wang, Lady Zijuan followed Wen Du to chase Chen Guangzong." Hearing that Li Yuntian mentioned Zijuan, Lin Xinjiao replied that if she didn't want to stay to protect Li Yuntian, she would also want to arrest Chen Guangzong, lest Chen Guangzong assassinate Li Yuntian in the future.

In Lin Xin's view, it is difficult to hurt Li Yuntian by the deceit of officialdom, Li Yuntian can deal with the open guns and hidden arrows in the officialdom with ease, and the forces of the court will not use violence to resolve the entanglement between each other, otherwise they will commit the taboo of officialdom, and at the same time, they will also anger the emperor, and they will be severely punished by the emperor.

But Chen Guangzong is different, he is completely a madman, he acts without the slightest scruples and bottom line, and he will do whatever it takes to kill Li Yuntian, and he is a very dangerous person.

Knowing that Zijuan went to chase Chen Guangzong, Li Yuntian's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, it stands to reason that Zijuan will definitely not kill Chen Guangzong, so the only explanation is that her move has another deep meaning, nine times out of ten she wants to save Chen Guangzong, no matter how the two are husband and wife.

From noon, a steady stream of reinforcements from the surrounding state capitals arrived in the county seat of Linyun County, and then they were sent by Li Yuntian to pursue and suppress Chen Guangzong.

In the afternoon of the next day, Wen Du, who was in charge of the pursuit, sent people to send news that because several three-masted warships from the wharf of Songjiang Mansion arrived in time and destroyed the Japanese ships that had come to meet Chen Guangzong before Chen Guangzong reached the shore, they chased Chen Guangzong and others all over the world and surrounded them in a small town last night.

After a fierce battle, Wen Du led his men to conquer the town this morning and wiped out all the Japanese people in the town.

However, it is a pity that although he searched the whole town, Wen Du could not find any trace of Chen Guangzong, and no one knew where he went to those Japanese captives, and the only thing that was certain was that Chen Guangzong entered the town at that time, but he didn't know when he left.

"One day husband and wife hundred days!" After receiving Wendu's report, Li Yuntian couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed, with a helpless look on his face.

Because the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty have surrounded that town, unless Chen Guangzong puts on his wings and flies away from that town, he will definitely be discovered by the soldiers and civilians who encircled and suppressed.

Now that Chen Guangzong has disappeared, the only explanation is that he escaped from the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army, considering that the Ming army surrounded that town tightly, then someone must have secretly helped Chen Guangzong.

Obviously, the soldiers and civilians who encircled and suppressed had no friendship with Chen Guangzong, and they would not risk the crime of beheading Chen Guangzong, the leader of the Japanese bandits, so the person who secretly rescued Chen Guangzong was about to come out, that is, Zijuan, who had a husband and wife relationship with Chen Guangzong, this is probably the purpose of Zijuan and Wendu to encircle and suppress Chen Guangzong.

"Lord Wang, do you mean that Lady Zijuan saved Chen Guangzong?" Lin Xin reacted immediately after hearing Li Yuntian's emotion, and looked at Li Yuntian with some surprise, since Zijuan cared about the love of husband and wife, why did he warn Li Yuntian, and then sabotage Chen Guangzong's sneak attack.

"Pass the order down and go all out to arrest Chen Guangzong." Li Yuntian bowed slightly, and then gave an order in a deep voice, he could understand the complex psychology of Zijuan's dilemma.

Lin Xin also reacted at this time, Zijuan sent a message to Li Yuntian out of kindness, and saving Chen Guangzong was a husband and wife, so he bowed to Li Yuntian and walked quickly to arrange.

Two days later, Yangzhou City Wharf.

A middle-aged man and woman who looked like a husband and wife from a large family boarded a northbound passenger ship surrounded by several attendants, and after entering the cabin, the man sat in front of the window without saying a word, looking at the bustling crowd on the dock with an indifferent expression.

"Xianggong, the concubine knows that you resent the concubine for reporting to the loyal prince, but the concubine is also doing this for our future." The hostess waved her hand, motioned for the attendants to stand back, and sat down opposite the man and said quietly.

The couple is Zijuan and Chen Guangzong, who were wanted by Li Yuntian, and under Zijuan's arrangement, the two successfully evaded the pursuit of the Ming army, secretly infiltrated Yangzhou City, and prepared to go north by boat to leave the land of right and wrong in the south of the Yangtze River.

Looking at the busy Yangzhou wharf, Chen Guangzong's mind was a little trance, as if he had returned to the period when he was in charge of the two Huai Salt Road, how high-spirited he was at that time, and both officials and businessmen in Yangzhou City were in awe of it.

It's a pity that everything was ruined by Li Yuntian, who unexpectedly set off a major case of embezzlement of ink in the two Huai Salt Roads, which made Chen Guangzong go to prison, from a person to a prisoner at the bottom of the ladder, and the psychological gap can be imagined.

"Humph!" After listening to Zijuan's words, Chen Guangzong's nose snorted coldly, ignoring Zijuan in front of him.

In Chen Guangzong's opinion, Zijuan had betrayed him by sending a message to Li Yuntian, if it weren't for that, he would have led people to capture Li Yuntian's mansion and catch Li Yuntian who was hiding inside, it was Zijuan who ruined his sneak attack this time.

Seeing that Chen Guangzong ignored herself, Zijuan showed a gloomy wry smile at the corner of her mouth, and the corners of her mouth squirmed a few times and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, she knew that Chen Guangzong put the blame for the failure of this attack on her, and now she couldn't listen to any explanation.

In fact, from the battle in Linyun County that night, Chen Guangzong should know that even if he captured Li Yuntian's mansion, it would be useless, and under the courageous resistance of the soldiers and civilians in the city, Li Yuntian would definitely be escorted to break through, after all, Li Yuntian would not stay in the mansion and wait for death.

If it is left in the past, Chen Guangzong can rationally look at the defeat of Linyun County, but now his thinking has been very extreme, and he has lost the ability to judge the problem rationally, so he put the blame for the failure on Zijuan, thinking that Zijuan's betrayal led to his defeat this time.
