Chapter 2703 Imperial Edict
Manbao walked over to Baishan.
Bai Shan looked at her face and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you sleep last night?"
Manbao said: "I slept for half an hour in the early morning."
Bai Shan frowned slightly.
Manbao looked him up and down and asked, "You smell of blood."
Bai Shan smiled slightly and said, "It's inevitable to get infected on the battlefield. Don't you have any?"
Manbao shook his head, "It's different. Although I'm a doctor, I don't have that bloody and violent aura. You do."
Bai Shan then said, "I am going into battle to kill the enemy."
No wonder.
She asked curiously, "Can that be considered a military achievement?"
Bai Shan became distressed, "I didn't kill many people, I'm afraid it can't be considered a military achievement."
He said, "His Majesty said that I looked too soft, only good at literature and not martial arts, so he asked me to go to the battlefield to gain some experience."
What else can Manbao say?
"Are you going to come up later?"
Bai Shan said, "Go ahead. His Majesty has asked me to follow Lord Yin for the time being."
Since Yin Li wanted to go, he had no choice but to follow.
Manbao said, "Then you have to be careful."
Bai Shan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm wearing armor, and Daji is here with me. He will protect me."
However, going to the battlefield can indeed make people's blood boil. Bai Shan's thoughts are different now. He is no longer afraid of life and death like before, and he avoids crises whenever possible.
Sometimes, facing a crisis head-on can better resolve it.
When everyone heard the sounds of charging and fighting, Yin Li immediately ordered his troops to step out and left with two thousand imperial guards, while the remaining two thousand stayed behind to guard the emperor.
Bai Shan and Man Bao nodded and followed Yin Li.
The emperor continued to move forward. There were corpses of horses and people, as well as injured people, on the road. It was obvious that a great battle had just taken place here, and the battlefield had moved from here to a place further ahead.
Yin Li walked straight forward past the corpses and wounded soldiers, while the emperor and his men began to clean up the battlefield. They not only found the wounded soldiers of their own Jin Dynasty, but also found many wounded soldiers of Goguryeo.
The emperor took one look and said, "Send them to the medical tent."
Manbao started to get busy nearby, while the emperor led his men forward. In front of them was an open wilderness, no, it should be harvested fields and wilderness. At this time, two armies were fighting here. The emperor did not move forward, but did not retreat either. He stopped his horse at the intersection and watched them fight.
There were not many wounded soldiers left on the road. Most of them were half dead and died soon after being turned out. Manbao only managed to rescue eight of them temporarily, three of whom were prisoners.
After treating their wounds, Manbao mounted his horse with the medicine box and continued forward with the numb Su Mu. Soon he caught up with the emperor.
She rode forward and squeezed to the emperor's left side, half a step behind the emperor and watching the battlefield together.
The emperor sighed and said, "The terrain just now is really a good place to attack from both sides."
It’s a pity that the Goguryeo army was timid and ran away overnight, otherwise Qibi Heli’s arrangement would have been very good.
Man Bao said: "Your Majesty, why force it? This is a battle between two armies, and they are not stupid."
"But they will still lose," the emperor said confidently, "their military spirit is gone."
This is a big taboo.
The emperor turned around and asked the guards to go down and bring up the drums, and have them beat the drums to encourage the battle.
The guards responded and left.
Military drums are used to boost morale. When the military drums on the Jin side sounded, everyone looked at the emperor and saw that he was here, and they immediately became as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They were already brave, and now they became even more brave and fearless.
The Goguryeo army was even more frightened. They were already scared by Qibi Heli and had been worried from last night to today. They didn't even think about taking back Baiyan City. They just wanted to break out. But now the enemy had reinforcements, and it was the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. They were so desperate.
In desperation, some people turned around and ran in all directions.
Even the flag bearer couldn't help but run away, and then Qibi Heli's personal soldiers cut off the flagpole. When the flag fell, the Goguryeo army was instantly in chaos. Seeing this, the emperor immediately said: "Let them surrender."
The two thousand imperial guards watching the battle immediately shouted loudly: "Surrender your weapons and you will not be killed, surrender your weapons and you will not be killed——"
Qibi Heli and others who were in the battle shouted angrily: "Why don't you surrender?"
Xue Bei also slowly stopped with his men. Seeing that the other party was hesitant with swords, he pointed his sword at them and shouted, "Put it down——"
The person being pointed at was so scared that he put down his knife. Once one person put it down, the people around him followed suit. Then more and more people put down their weapons, and everyone slowly knelt on the ground.
Qibi Heli immediately waved his hand and ordered people to come forward to take away their weapons and began to collect prisoners.
He turned his horse around to pay his respects to the emperor.
Seeing that they had stopped fighting, Manbao saluted the emperor, led his men forward, and found a relatively clean open space nearby for the wounded to come and receive treatment.
Qibi Heli ran over to see the emperor.
The emperor immediately dismounted and supported him, saying worriedly, "I heard you were injured?"
"Your Majesty, I am fine."
That's strange. Qibi Heli was seriously injured. He had been fighting all the time, so his wounds had never healed, so his body naturally wouldn't be in good condition either.
The emperor personally helped Qibi Heli to find Zhou Man to treat his injuries. By the way, he found the person who stabbed Qibi Heli from a group of captives and handed him over to him for disposal.
However, Qibi Heli shook his head and ordered him to be released along with the other captives. He said, "We each serve our own masters. It is only natural for him to kill me. Now that the war is over, if you want to release the captives, then let us all go."
The Jin army did not kill prisoners, especially since the emperor was leading the army in person and fighting under the banner of justice. In the eyes of the emperor, the people in Goguryeo were also his people. Ahem, not only because Goguryeo was a vassal state of the Jin Dynasty, but also because this land originally belonged to the Central Plains.
After confiscating the cattle, horses, weapons, and armor, the Jin army allowed the captives to return home. This was not only a preferential treatment for them, but also a good way to deprive them of their fighting power.
Arriving here, the emperor simply set up camp on a nearby mountain. While waiting for Zhou Man to treat the wounded, the emperor's political and military orders were issued from here one after another, "Change Baiyan City to Yanzhou, Gaimu City to Gaizhou, and order the capture of Anshi City, Huangcheng, and Yincheng."
Bai Shan wrote them down one by one and presented the two imperial edicts to the emperor.
After reading it, the emperor stamped the edict and sent it out.
The emperor did not plan to take a detour to Anshi City. He decided to continue attacking southwards, and then open a road from here to Anshi City and conquer all the villages and towns along the way.
Qibi Heli had no objection and asked Xue Bei to lead the army to obey orders, while he lay down to recuperate. Zhou Man said that his wound should not be opened again, otherwise it would be easy for people to die.
The following battle went particularly smoothly. When the defenders of Yincheng and Huangcheng heard that the Jin army was coming, they did not resist and simply abandoned the city and ran away.
The Jin army quietly went in and took over, and then surrounded the Anshi City, which had been resisting stubbornly.
I saw many comments from book friends, all of whom mixed up Goguryeo with present-day South Korea, but in fact, the Goguryeo during this period was not the Goguryeo that everyone is familiar with.
This Goguryeo was a former frontier regime of China. It was sometimes called Goryeo in the Central Plains. In history, in order to distinguish it from the later Wang Goryeo, it was called Gao Goryeo.
Its range is from Liaodong area to present-day North Korea. In the past, this part was unified with the Central Plains. Later, when war broke out in the Central Plains, they established separatist forces here.
Later, Goguryeo was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty and returned to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Some people stayed in the original place to live, some were moved to the inland, and a small number fled to Silla and Baekje further south. These two vassal states are the scope of the South Korea that everyone is familiar with today, and their ethnic groups are also the current Korean ethnic groups.
So please don't get me wrong, the Goguryeo mentioned in the article is the present Liaodong area, and we have the same origin, hahahaha
I don't know if you can see the pretense, so I plan to add a few more chapters. I'm too lazy to introduce the anime section.
See you at 6pm.
