The Prince of Yizhou made a wretched escape all the way back to Jiannan, but he did not continue southward to Yizhou, instead, he changed course to Maozhou.
He didn't even enter Maozhou City; the Prince of Yizhou went straight into the mountains with his men.
The mountain roads were difficult to traverse, and it wasn't until nightfall that they found the mountain pass where the troops were stationed. Before going into the mountains, he had already dispatched two other guards to enter Maozhou City.
Yin Li sat in the central tent, receiving the scouts' return message. After glancing at the deepening night outside, he said, "Lord Yang, you may depart now."
At this moment, their relationship was merely that of superior and subordinate.
Yang Heshu rose to salute and then withdrew, taking Captain Song with him.
They were also stationed in the mountains. The mountain roads were difficult enough by day; at night, they became even more treacherous.
