The emperor first walked around the tower, then expressed his condolences to the soldiers who participated in the battle, and finally went to see the prisoners.
The prisoners were all driven into an alley. At this time, whether they were injured or not, they were either sitting or lying on the ground. Seeing such a group of big shots coming at the entrance of the alley, they couldn't help but get up and kneel down in fear.
The emperor saw that many of them were still bleeding out, looking embarrassed and panic-stricken. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "Move all the prisoners outside the city and sort out the wounded. Zhou Qing, your medical tent."
Let them deal with it."
Man Bao glanced at them and then lowered his eyes in response.
So the soldiers escorted the prisoners out of the city and carved out a piece of open space at a certain distance from the tent to accommodate them.
Man Bao continued to patrol Anshi City with the emperor. In fact, there was only one main street and four lanes. The shops on both sides were closed tightly and there was no sound at all. Occasionally, there would be children crying quietly in the houses, but
If I look carefully, the sound is gone again.
The emperor stood at the street corner and watched. He no longer mentioned the matter of entering the city to place the wounded soldiers, but instead said to the accompanying courtiers: "Issue an edict to appease the people and ask them to close their doors tightly for the next few days and not go out."
Everyone bowed their heads in agreement.
The emperor then told Mr. Bai Shan and Mr. Fang, "Please read and write the edict. The most important thing is to appease the people."
Bai Shan and Master Fang bowed in response.
The emperor wandered around for a while before leaving the city, lowering his eyes and thinking about what to do with Anshi City, or rather with the entire Goguryeo.
After Manbao left the city, she greeted everyone and turned to deal with her wounded. No one was busy at this time but her.
Everyone didn't mind, and after watching her leave, they gathered together in twos and threes to talk.
An official looked at the bandage on Bai Shan's hand and asked with a smile: "Why is Mr. Bai injured?"
Bai Shan smiled slightly and said: "Lack of strength and damaged skin are not a big deal."
Zhao Guogong glanced at it and said: "Master Bai's hands are used to draft edicts, so you must protect them."
Bai Shan bowed and said "yes".
The emperor's attitude directly calmed the hearts of the prisoners, and the edict was issued quickly. Although no one came out to see it, Bai Shan called the soldiers and asked them to memorize the edict and then took the gong along the alley to publicize it.
Officials from Honglu Temple who were familiar with Goguryeo were also called to accompany him, and they took turns speaking both languages.
Anshi City, which was already quiet, became even quieter. The people all closed their doors tightly and decided to wait until they decided the winner before going out.
No matter who is in power, it is the same to them.
The royal court of Goguryeo was not good enough for them to fight for their lives, and the Jin Dynasty was not bad enough for them to fight for their lives.
And what the emperor wanted was just such an attitude, and he didn't expect them to help the Jin Dynasty defeat the Goguryeo army.
The rest is their business.
Zhao Guogong took over General Ashina and began to organize the soldiers to advance in an orderly manner.
Man Bao divided the students into two groups, letting one group go to rest first, while she took the rest to see the surrendered soldiers in the prisoner camp.
The situation here is different from the previous ones, so the emperor will not let them go.
Releasing prisoners at this time is equivalent to sending soldiers to the other side, so all prisoners are guarded in the prison camp.
They didn't run either. If they ran now, they would still be caught on the battlefield. They might also be driven to the front line to block arrows. It would be better to stay in the Jin army as prisoners. Although they would eat less, they would not be hungry.
Death is not.
The emperor did not answer, but General Ashina said: "They will not surrender. If Anshi City is lost, the Jin army will be able to march forward. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will not give up."
