After the reinforcements arrived, Chang Tong led his men to capture Vice General Wu and others, rescuing those civilians who were being pursued.
Li Tao recklessly captured people at sea and blamed everything on pirates, causing great harm to the fishing villages along the coast and the nearby islands.
Finally, they escaped. The faces of those who had been laboring in the mines showed expressions of joy.
"From here to the west," one person said, "there are still people of theirs. When they see you coming, they will hide. I will lead the way and guide you there."
Chang Tong nodded and instructed people to treat the seriously injured civilians. He led a team to capture others.
The island originally harbored many people. After Prince Lu discovered that the situation on the island had been exposed, he withdrew some people. Today, more people followed Li Tao aboard the warship.
Currently, only a few hundred people led by Vice General Wu remained on the island.
