Both Qibi Heli and Bai Shan were moved back to the camp, and they have to be sent back to the small town tomorrow, the camp is too cold, which is actually not conducive to recuperating.
The emperor brought several important ministers into the tent, Qibi Heli fell asleep, and Bai Shan really fell asleep.
Because Qibi Heli was the most injured, the emperor went to see Qibi Heli first.
Seeing that there was not much blood on his face, and the gauze under the quilt was still a little red, he pressed the quilt for him, and told him: "It's cold, pay attention to holding the brazier for him."
On behalf of Man Bao, the medical account should be paid.
Several generals who had a good relationship with Qibi Heli took the opportunity to mention the mistake of the siege.
Seeing Qibi Heli who was seriously injured, the emperor really softened his heart and didn't blame him. Instead, he said: "Goguryeo is going to fight, and General Qibi can't turn it down. Originally, he made a great contribution by beheading the enemy general. Today's defeat, who would I didn't think of it either."
Who would have thought that Goguryeo could even give up its own soldiers
Feng Shangshu and other ministers frowned, not agreeing with the emperor's point of view. Originally, they were already preparing food and grass, and they built so many cities. Now the domestic city is fighting stubbornly. As long as they guard for another month, the other side will not agree Surrender, and siege will become much easier.
But this time Qibi Heli's siege of the city is rude, it will be a huge loss for them.
At this time, Goguryeo was also calculating the gains and losses this time.
Although the battlefield cannot be counted, there are people standing on the tower to keep an eye on the situation. At least 500 people were injured on the Jin army side, and about 800 people were lost on their side, and there was one Shen Ming.
But the Jin army must have lost Qibi Heli, even if it was only a serious injury to the opponent, it is still an exciting opportunity for the current Goguryeo.
The ministers who came to watch the battle discussed for a long time with Gao Nusa, who supervised the battle, and did not enter the palace to report to King Goguryeo until half an hour after the opponent retreated.
King Gaoli was overjoyed, "The general of the Jin army, Qibi Heli, was seriously injured, and the Jin army suffered more than 800 casualties?"
Gao Nusa also said excitedly: "Yes."
"Okay, okay," King Goguryeo laughed, circling around in excitement, then turned around and said, "All the ministers are called into the palace, and we will have a good celebration tonight."
The Great Jin side was still arguing, Xue Gui felt that Feng Shangshu and others were too demanding of General Qibi, so he reported the death statistics this time, "218 people were killed and 192 were injured. Sixty-eight of them were slightly injured, and the remaining 124 were seriously injured."
"General Qibi killed the opponent's young general. The last general inquired. This man was the number one warrior in Goguryeo. His martial arts were very strong. Of the 2,000 Goguryeo soldiers he brought out, 498 died and 231 were seriously injured. Three hundred and sixty-two people were slightly injured, thirteen were lost in a rout, and the rest were captured, including four hundred and ninety-two horses."
Feng Shangshu snorted coldly: "Just listening to the results of the battle, it seems that we have won, but what we are looking at is the follow-up. This battle lost nearly 400 people for nothing, and General Qibi himself was seriously injured, but it was useless to the situation. Goguryeo may be celebrating wildly now, the image of subjugation built before was destroyed in World War I, the siege suffered heavy losses, and the siege will drag on even longer, what is this not a defeat?"
The siege battle was originally fought for food and grass, which was psychological warfare.
Although they were besieged but not attacked before, they firmly held the upper hand. People in the inner city were already floating, whether it was ordinary people or high-ranking officials, they were already pessimistic about Goguryeo.
Zhang Hui even sent a lot of news to them through Prince Gao's mother's family. After this time, I'm afraid it will return to its original state, and the situation of Zhang Hui in the domestic city will be even worse.
Man Bao saw that everyone was discussing the war around Qibi Heli, arguing endlessly, so he slowly moved to Bai Shan's bedside.
Daji's eyes flickered, and he stood at her side with ease, better able to block the peripheral vision of those ministers. If they turned around to look over, they would be blocked by his body and would not see Man Bao's movements.
Holding the needle between his fingertips, Man Bao gently lifted the quilt behind Bai Shan, glanced at his trembling eyelashes, smiled slightly, and pricked two needles on him.
It was pulled out after only two light stabs. Bai Shan's face turned pale from the pain, and he almost couldn't help crying out in pain. He bit his mouth tightly, couldn't help but opened his eyes and looked at Man Bao, and then closed them immediately. up.
When the emperor and the others first came in, he was asleep and felt nothing at all.
But soon he was woken up by their arguments, so he listened to the audience.
Man Bao saw that his face looked like a patient, so he quietly moved back to his position and stood still.
The emperor paused for a while and then reiterated, "It's no wonder General Qibi is in this battle. It's because I didn't think carefully. I never thought that the other party would come up with such a poisonous plan."
But Feng Shangshu said: "Of course we can't interfere with the enemy's plan, but General Qibi can obviously be more cautious. If he can detect Goguryeo's plan after beheading Shen Ming and stick to it, wouldn't it be a great victory? "
"If Lord Bai hadn't noticed the warning one step earlier, I'm afraid our Jin army would suffer even more serious losses."
Speaking of Bai Shan, the emperor remembered the purpose of this trip, and immediately turned to look at Bai Shan. The emperor asked, "Bai Qing is awake?"
All the ministers and generals turned around and looked over in unison.
Bai Shan lay on his stomach, moved slightly, and wanted to get up to salute, but felt that he was injured at this time, and it seemed that he should not be able to get out of bed.
The emperor had already pressed him one step ahead of him, and hurriedly said: "Lie down quickly."
Seeing that his face was pale, the emperor sighed and said: "Thanks for your hard work, Bai Qing, you have made great achievements in this battle, is your body still hurting now?"
Bai Shansheng was afraid that he would take off his bandage to look at the wound, so he quickly said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Everyone stared at Bai Shan's pale face, with fine sweat still dripping from his forehead, and his brows were furrowed, it was painful at first glance.
The emperor also noticed it, patted the back of his hand comfortingly, and then went to Zhou Man, "There should be painkillers, why don't you prescribe some for him."
Zhou Man: "... yes."
The emperor asked Bai Shan to take good care of his wounds, and when he recovered from his injuries, he would return to Zhongshu Province immediately. He was still needed by his side.
This is the emperor's expression of importance.
Bai Shan looked at the emperor and asked, "Does Your Majesty want to take this opportunity to raid the inner city?"
The emperor was slightly surprised, he didn't expect him to be so sharp, and raised his eyebrows to look at him.
Bai Shan twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Now the situation is at a stalemate. After all, we are soldiers on a long-distance expedition. At this time, the situation is not good for us. The best way is to make a surprise attack."
"But Your Majesty, if we attack by force, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties."
The emperor asked, "Does Aiqing still have a way to outsmart her?"
Bai Shan looked at Man Bao and said softly, "Maybe you can ask the Goguryeo soldiers who were captured this time."
He said: "If we can get them to turn back from their hearts, there may be a shortcut."
The emperor was thoughtful, "It's a way."
