Chapter 2721 Different Opinions
Bai Shan walked to Manbao, put his hands behind his back, and watched her treat the wounds of the wounded soldiers.
Manbao took the time to look up at him. Bai Shan smiled at her and said softly, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll be waiting for you."
Manbao lowered his head and continued to work.
Daji behind him seemed to be hesitant to speak, and frowned slightly when he saw his young master covering his hands with a handkerchief.
Bai Shan shook his head at him and stood aside to watch her.
Manbao then instructed him without hesitation, "Help me get the scissors."
Bai Shan rolled up the handkerchief with his hands behind his back and stuffed it into his narrow sleeves, then he rummaged through her medicine box and handed her the scissors.
Manbao took it and cut open the wounded soldier's clothes with a few clicks. Then he began to clean the dirt on the wound and stop the bleeding and apply medicine.
Manbao bandaged the wounded soldier and turned to look at Bai Shan, "What happened to your right hand?"
Bai Shan: ...You can even find this?
Manbao stretched out his hand to him, and Baishan paused for a moment, and could only take out his right hand and place it on her hand.
Manbao knew at a glance that his knuckles were broken by the shock, and couldn't help asking, "How can your opponent be so strong? Don't you use a sword? How can you compete with him in strength?"
Bai Shan then sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "It split when I was blocking Duke Zhao."
He described the situation in detail, highlighting his kindness and quick reaction. "Anyway, it was very powerful, and it was unconscious. I think the skills I learned from Master Jiechen are very useful."
He definitely wouldn't have been able to react in time before, and even if he had, he might not have been able to stop Duke Zhao.
He is really strong.
It’s a pity that his sword was broken. Alas, his grandmother spent a lot of money to buy it for him.
While Manbao was tending to his wounds, he asked, "Is that soldier okay?"
"It's okay, I was just frightened. I should be in the prisoner camp now."
Manbao nodded, applied medicine and bandaged him, then asked, "Is Duke Zhao angry?"
Bai Shan tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "A little bit, but Duke Zhao wouldn't be so petty. Although I did nothing wrong in this matter, I did offend him in public after all. I will apologize to him later."
Manbao said, "I'll go with you."
She said, "I'll make him some nourishing soup. Poor Duke Zhao has lost a lot of weight during these recent battles."
Bai Shanxin became a little uneasy and worried about Duke Zhao.
Manbao cut off the gauze with a click, let go of his hand and said, "That's enough. Don't use too much force for now, and don't touch the water. I'll change the dressing for you tomorrow."
Bai Shan nodded and was about to speak when he heard a sound and turned his head to look to the west.
Then the Holy Chariot arrived.
The wounded soldiers who were placed outside the city and were able to move all knelt on the ground.
Manbao and Baishan looked at each other and stood up.
Duke Zhao and General Ashina led their men out of the city to welcome the emperor. When the emperor arrived, they knelt on one knee to greet him.
Manbao and Baishan also knelt down to pay their respects.
The emperor dismounted from his horse, took two quick steps, and supported Ashina with one hand and Duke Zhao with the other. After pulling them up, he looked at the wounded soldiers kneeling on the ground and sighed, "I am lucky to have you. You soldiers have worked so hard. I feel ashamed to kneel here."
General Ashina: "Serving Your Majesty with all our loyalty is our wish!"
He was moved and said, "As long as it is for the good of Your Majesty and the good of the Great Jin, I will not hesitate to die."
The emperor shook his hand with a look of deep emotion. Seeing that he looked tired, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Man behind him and said, "Master Zhou, come and show it to General Ashina."
Manbao: "...The general is exhausted. He just needs more rest."
She paused and then said, "How about I give the general an acupuncture treatment later?"
General Ashina immediately said, "Thank you, Lord Zhou."
The emperor asked the wounded soldiers to stand up, but he was not in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, he looked at the wounded soldiers lying outside the city gate, sighed and said, "This won't do. How can my heroes who opened up the frontiers sleep on the mud?"
He said, "Aren't you occupying several streets inside? Clear out the houses inside and let the wounded soldiers move in."
Duke Zhao replied "Yes" and turned to arrange for someone to vacate the house. Bai Shan quickly responded, "Your Majesty, this is not allowed."
General Ashina also hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate."
The two spoke at the same time, paused, and looked at each other secretly. Bai Shan lowered his eyes and let him speak.
General Ashina gritted his teeth, secretly calling him a little fox, before speaking to the emperor, "Your Majesty, we've only captured the west gate. There are still at least 90,000 enemy troops within Anshi City. They're nothing to be afraid of, but what if the entire city of Anshi turns against us?"
"Part of the reason we were able to hold the West City Gate last night was because the people kept their doors shut and stayed out of the conflict between the two armies. If we disturb them now, we're afraid it will provoke resentment from the people of Anshi City."
Duke Zhao knew what he said was right, but he couldn't help but snort coldly, "Could it be that the Jin army is afraid of a bunch of powerless fools?"
General Ashina was not good at speaking, so he could only say, "Less trouble is worse than more."
Duke Zhao said, "But you can't let this chill the hearts of our Great Jin soldiers."
General Ashina was choked.
Bai Shan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the city is not stable yet. The wounded soldiers are unable to move around easily. It is not as safe to stay in the city as it is outside the city right now."
He said, "Your Majesty should set up a medical tent outside the city and build tents to collect the wounded."
He added, "The Holy Chariot should not enter the city, but should camp outside the city, and the main tent should also be set up outside the city, so that it can attack when advancing and defend when retreating."
General Ashina immediately said, "Yes, Your Majesty. There are still enemy troops in the city. How can we be sure they won't assassinate us? Please set up camp outside the city."
Emperor: ...How did it get to him?
Other ministers and generals accompanying the army immediately followed suit and persuaded the emperor to stay outside the city. Even the Duke of Zhao did not dare to joke with the emperor's safety.
The city is indeed unsafe now. Who knows where the assassins are hiding inside?
What if you get shot by an arrow while walking?
So the matter of letting the wounded soldiers enter the city was shelved, and the soldiers began to set up camp outside the city. After setting up the tents, they let the wounded soldiers move in first.
At the emperor's insistence, General Ashina, Duke Zhao and others agreed to let him go into the city for a stroll.
The main purpose was to appease the people of Anshi City and let them continue to stay at home honestly. The Jin army would not harm them.
Manbao and Baishan looked at each other and followed him in.
One of them was a close minister of the emperor, and the other was an imperial physician, so it was best for both of them to serve on the emperor's left side at this time.
When the emperor entered the city, people shouted "Long live the emperor" three times, and then half of the people in the city knew that the emperor of the Jin Dynasty had arrived.
As for the emperor of the upper country, the people of Anshi City will never have the chance to see him in their lifetime, and this may be the only time in their lifetime, so someone quietly opened the window, lay on the wall and looked quietly towards the west gate.
Unfortunately, there were many houses in between, so they couldn't see anything.
But I can hear the sound.
See you tomorrow
