The emperor praised Mr. Zhuang, and then said: "Since Mr. Zhuang has taught you, tell me how to make them fearful and how to show benevolence and righteousness?"
Bai Erlang: "...threaten them? Then show them favor?"
The emperor waved to him, "Come on, come on, tell me, in this situation, how can we threaten and intimidate them, and then show kindness?"
Bai Erlang:......
He finally went back to look for Bai Shan with his head hanging. At this time, they had already lived in the small town. People outside the inner city gate were still changing to besiege the city every day, but neither the people inside nor the people outside would take action easily. Everyone
They are all fighting against each other.
Because Bai Shan was "injured", he had been keeping his door closed for the past few days. Even Bai Erlang didn't know that he was pretending to be injured.
He also pays attention to it. Even if there is no one else in the room, he sleeps on his stomach or side with a pillow.
Bai Erlang told him sadly, "In front of Duke Zhao, Your Majesty has given me two days to come up with a solution. Please help me think about it."
Bai Shan: "...I can't think of it for a while, but your opinion is right, but the operability is very low."
"That's right," Bai Erlang said worriedly: "Now the officers, soldiers and people in the inner city are all huddled in the city and coming out. Both sides talk by yelling, and they basically quarrel when they get together. What's there to talk about?"
The people on the city tower and outside the city gate are all determined people. How can they threaten and intimidate people with just a few words?
Bai Erlang sighed: "It would be great if I could see the people in the inner city, even if I could read a paragraph to them or pass on some gossip, but it's a pity that now even the news about Mr. Zhang can't be spread, let alone that we can go
He preaches and threatens people before he performs any meritorious deeds."
Bai Shan, who had no idea at first, became thoughtful when he heard the words, "You are right."
"What?"
Bai Shandao: "It's impossible to tell a book, but it is possible to write a book."
He said: "When you write an article, half of it is a threat and the other half is an inducement. I don't believe that the people in the domestic city do not have relatives and friends. In these villages and towns outside the city, and in several nearby small cities, they must have relatives and friends.
in."
"Your Majesty is now giving porridge inside and outside the city. Recently, the people in the small city have become less resentful towards Feng Shangshu and have a good impression of us, the newly arrived Jin troops, so this matter is feasible."
"How can I submit the article after writing it?"
"Let the Kongming lanterns be sent over, and then we will choose a day when the west wind blows to set off the Kongming lanterns."
"What if they can't read?" Bai Erlang felt that they needed to consider various issues, "Maybe what if they don't know Chinese characters?"
"The Mandarin and characters used in Goguryeo are the same as ours, how can you not recognize them?" Bai Shandao said: "However, there are few literate people among ordinary people. This really needs to be considered. In this case, then we can turn the articles into pictures.
Bar."
Bai Shandao: "If you don't know how to read, you will always know how to draw, right?"
Bai Erlang pointed his finger at his nose and asked, "Should I draw?"
Bai Shan, "If you don't draw, should I still draw?" Do you have the nerve to bully an injured patient?
Bai Erlang shouted: "Do you think I can draw it?"
"Why not? Although your painting skills are really unskillful, you can still draw things clearly. Otherwise, wouldn't you have wasted several years of study?" Bai Shan said: "You can just paint, what are you afraid of?
"
So Bai Erlang went to find the emperor. When he came out, he carried a lot of paper and sent the paper to Bai Shan's house first. Then he went to the city gate to look at the Goguryeo people who were receiving porridge with their heads propped up.
Write down his demeanor and words...
When Man Bao saw him riding by, he broke away from the team and rode over. He looked at him curiously and asked, "What are you doing?"
As soon as Bai Erlang saw her, he asked: "Didn't you go to the prisoner camp? Why are you back?"
Zhou Man: "I'll be back when I'm done."
She dismounted and squatted with him, looking at the refugees queuing up to receive porridge. She saw that the numbness on their faces was much lessened, "There are results in the prisoner camp."
In the past few days, she had followed the imperial edict, and apart from treating the Jin soldiers' injuries, she also went to prisoner camps.
The prisoners in the prison camp have always been in a situation of life and death. Except for some special people, after most Goguryeo soldiers were captured, the emperor would ask Zhao Guogong to count the number of people and their place of origin, and then send the people back to their place of origin.
Except for a few people, no one will go back to the city to continue serving as a soldier. Most of them will sneak back to their hometowns.
There was nothing they could do about it. They didn't have much military rations. They couldn't feed so many prisoners. It was better to give them two or three meals of dry food each and then let them find a way to go home.
As for the newly captured Goguryeo soldiers, the emperor treated them very favorably and did not let them go. He also transferred imperial doctors like Zhou Man to treat their wounds every day.
The purpose is to win people's hearts.
When Bai Erlang heard that her mission had been completed, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he immediately stood up and said: "Then why are you still cold? Go back and report."
Then there's no need for him to think of a solution, right?
Man Bao glanced at him and said: "It is true that rats have their own ways and snakes have their own snake ways, but this snake's way is not easy to walk."
In addition to Zhou Man, Xue Bei, who had a loyal and honest face, had also been working in the prison camp, so Man Bao waited for him to come over and report to the emperor together.
"...the five prisoners who came to surrender were part of a formation that patrolled the city wall," Man Bao said, "They said that one year, prisoners escaped from the inner city. The city gates were always closed, but the people just disappeared. They were patrolling
When I was there, I discovered that there was a hole in the city wall under a section of the moat. Because the moat originally connected the inside and outside of the city, that section was quite special. Few people usually went there. During the summer and autumn flood seasons, the river water rose and blocked that hole.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the hole was revealed again."
Xue Bei added: "They have reported it, but because the domestic city is in the hinterland of Goguryeo, such a small hole is innocuous, so it has never been repaired."
Zhao Guogong immediately asked: "Is that hole still there now?"
"exist."
"But," Man Bao frowned and said, "It's too cold now, and there are ice floes floating in the river. It's easy to get into trouble at this time."
However, the emperor and others felt that this was a minor problem and that certain sacrifices were normal. He had even ordered death squads to be organized to attack the city. However, the generals were reluctant to sacrifice their soldiers' lives for a fruitless war. The emperor felt heartbroken when he thought about it.
Finally gave up.
However, now this approach can bear fruit. Once people enter the city and approach the city gate, they will have won half the battle.
The emperor asked: "Are all the warriors you were asked to choose earlier still there?"
Zhao Guogong immediately responded: "Yes."
The emperor nodded slightly, "Screen again and eliminate those who can't swim. Let them try to get into the water for the next two days and don't rush into action."
Then he turned to look at Bai Erlang: "How do you think of the solution I asked you to think of? You have to think of a solution before they take action. It would be best if it can make the hearts of the people in the country float."
Bai Erlang could only go back silently and continue to observe the refugees.
