Even the three Inborn Grandmasters stationed in the city were under constant watch by Lu Ning and his men. Despite several attempts to leave the city, they were intercepted and could not escape.
Under such circumstances, Qingyangzi pursued for three days and took over a prefecture.
After another two days of pursuit and breaking through another prefecture, he reached the south bank of the Yellow River.
During those days, even though the Xu People moved day and night, they only managed to take more than two hundred thousand people with them.
The originally planned evacuation of over two million people completely failed under Qingyangzi's relentless pursuit.
Qingyangzi successfully recaptured over two million inhabitants, preserving a vast amount of spoils for Chu State's victory in the Le'an campaign.
