Bai Erlang chattered beside Bai Shan and Zhou Man, and looked around curiously after speaking, "This is the palace of Kucha, it looks like a little more steps, a little higher, it looks very ordinary. .”
Bai Shandao: "Of course it's not comparable to our palace, but it's considered luxurious. Look at the shops and houses in the city."
"That's true." Bai Erlang looked left and right curiously, seeing the soldiers driving the people in the palace to a side hall, he couldn't help asking: "What should we do with these people?"
Bai Shan glanced at it and said: "General Ashina is not the one who murdered. Most of the palace officials will let him go. As for the ministers, it depends on the situation. But it also depends on how General Ashina intends to deal with the Kucha Kingdom."
General Ashina is also thinking about this issue. Originally, he wanted to sweep the past all the way. Regardless of Yanqi, Qiuci, Shule and Khotan, he would accept all those who lost the Jin Dynasty, and Guo Xiao was behind him. The Governor of Anxi came to sweep the finishing touches, and at that time all these small countries would be included in Anxi. Anyway, the place is not very big.
As a result, Guo Xiao actually killed himself, and his morale was hit hard. Now that the Western Regions has entered winter, the weather will get colder and colder in the near future, and there may be heavy snowfall.
This kind of weather is not conducive to the soldiers to fight at all.
And if it is left until next year when the ice and snow melt, at least until April...
If the timeline is stretched too long, it will have a great impact on the national treasury, not only the Ministry of Finance, but His Majesty may not be very happy either.
The loss is too much, which is not worth the loss for Da Jin.
So the previous plan obviously won't work, and it will take at least two months to straighten out the Kucha Kingdom.
Originally, if Guo Xiao was here, this kind of matter could be entrusted to him. After all, he is the Protector of Anxi.
General Ashina rubbed his forehead, and said decisively: "Re-establish King Kucha, you arrest all the brothers and relatives of King Kucha, and I will pick a successor to King Kucha later."
The confidants should immediately go down and arrest people.
It was getting dark, Bai Shan and the others stayed in the palace for the time being, when little general Meng found out that they were living here, he immediately ordered the wounded soldiers to be sent here, along with those who were so busy at the city gate military doctor.
As soon as he arrived, he immediately yelled at Zhou Liru, "Young lady, I can't accept my promise. You went there for a while, but you never came back. Do you know how many wounded people were sent to my place?"
Seeing Zhou Man standing on the side, he complained even more, "Master Zhou, you are an imperial doctor. This kind of charge is the business of the soldiers, and the conspiracy and treachery are the business of the civil servants. Our doctor is here How can you take such a risk if you just manage people later?"
Man Bao said: "I am also a civil servant."
She emphasized: "I am still editing by the Chongwen Museum."
The military doctor choked.
Bai Shan thoughtfully found a step for him, "All the wounded in the army have been sent to the side hall. I went to ask a group of people to boil water. Let's start dealing with the wounded now."
Tonight is probably going to be another sleepless night.
The military doctor nodded again and again, seeing that Bai Shan and Zhou Man were covered in moisture and their hair was still a little wet, he thought to himself: Why are you still taking a bath? Is this going to wash up and sleep
The things in the palace are much more complete than those in their big tent.
I was almost plundered by the soldiers, and the soldiers had thick hands, so they couldn't help but drop things when they rummaged through them.
Bai Shan sent someone in advance to pass on the message that the wounded soldiers will be sent over soon, so the medicinal materials in the warehouse and the things in the kitchen must not be damaged.
So the soldiers relaxed their hands, and sent all the medicinal materials they found to the side hall, and the things in the kitchen were basically left untouched.
Bai Shan went to the side hall to pick out quite a few palace servants, all of whom had calluses on their hands and often did rough work in the kitchen and outside yard, and asked them to fetch water, boil water and deliver water.
Treating wounded soldiers requires a lot of hot water.
So when General Ashina finally came out from the meeting with the generals in the army, he looked up and saw that there were people carrying wounded soldiers to the side hall continuously. Where the lights are brightest.
"There is… "
General Meng immediately replied: "Go back to the chief supervisor, Zhou Taiyi and others are there to treat the wounded soldiers."
General Ashina was surprised, "Master Zhou is willing to do this kind of rough work?"
In his impression, the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital are proud, but it is not difficult for the dignitaries in central Beijing to invite them. After all, it is also one of the duties of the Imperial Hospital to treat the dignitaries.
But it is very difficult for officials below the fourth rank to invite imperial physicians, let alone these soldiers.
After all, military doctors are cheap, and generally no one wants to do it.
Little General Meng was still young and didn't know this kind of sinister worldliness, so he replied bluntly: "Yes, the soldiers in our army were also seen by Zhou Taiyi before..." And why is this rough work
Is it rough work to sew his belly
Thinking of his stomach, little general Meng felt a little pain in his stomach, as if the wound had popped open, and it seemed that he would have to go to Zhou Man to treat the wound in a while.
General Ashina stood there and thought for a while, thinking that there were Bai Shan, his future niece and son-in-law, and the grandson of Minister of the Household Department, he turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look."
While helping Man Bao, Bai Shan said to her, "If General Ashina restores King Kucha, then we should be able to go back soon."
Man Bao asked, "Stop fighting?"
Bai Shandao: "General Guo's death will affect morale, and Anxi also needs a new guard. It will take a long time to go back and forth. There is no one like General Guo in the rear. General Ashina is afraid Let go and subdue these small countries."
What if two cities are captured and one city is lost
Without the appointment of the imperial court, it is impossible for the Anxi army to obey, "and the front is stretched too long, and the pressure on the treasury will be great for too long."
After the beginning of spring, among the various expenses of the household department, the most important thing must be the Central Plains. In the Western Regions, it is already very good that they are willing to give food and grass to fight.
It was also the capriciousness of the small countries in Kucha that provoked the imperial court. When they saw that the Great Jin was in trouble, they would make trouble. If they did not take action this time, they would not be stable in the future.
What Bai Shan didn't say was that although today is the prime of life, the crown prince is not too young. In ten or eight years, he may have to consider succession. There is turmoil in the affairs of an emperor, and the chaos in the Western Regions is going east, which is a great harm to the country.
It's better to subdue them when they have spare energy, so that they don't dare to reach out easily in the future.
Man Bao counted the time, "Then can we go back to celebrate the New Year?"
