The emperor praised Mr. Zhuang, and then said: "Since Mr. Zhuang taught you, then tell me how to make them fear, and how to show benevolence and righteousness?"
Bai Erlang: "...Threats to intimidate them? Show mercy again?"
The emperor waved to him, "Come, come, tell me, how can we threaten and intimidate them in such a situation, and then show kindness to them?"
Shirajiro: ...
In the end, he bowed his head and went back to look for Bai Shan. At this time, they had already lived in a small town. Outside the gate of the domestic city, there were still people going to besiege the city every day. They are all fighting against each other.
Because of his "injury", Bai Shan has been closing the door of his room for the past few days, even Bai Erlang didn't know about his pretending to be injured.
He himself is also very careful, even in the room, there is no one else, and he sleeps on his stomach or side with his pillow in his arms.
Bai Erlang told him sadly, "In front of Zhao Guogong, His Majesty gave me two days to figure out a solution, please help me think about it."
Bai Shan: "... I can't think of it for a while, but your opinion is correct, but the operability is very low."
"That's right," Bai Erlang said annoyedly: "Nowadays, the officers, soldiers and common people in the domestic city are all nested in the city, and both sides talk by shouting, and they basically quarrel when they meet each other. 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 and said: "It would be great if I could see the people in the domestic city, even if it is to tell them a book or spread some gossip, but unfortunately there is no news about Mr. Zhang, let alone we go Preaching, and threatening people before giving merit.”
Bai Shan, who had no idea at first, became thoughtful when he heard the words, "You're right."
"What?"
Bai Shandao: "Storytelling is impossible, but writing is possible."
He said: "When you write an article, the first half is a threat, and the second half is an inducement. I don't believe that the people in the domestic city have no relatives and friends. In these villages and towns outside the city, and there are several small towns nearby, they must have relatives and friends." in."
"Your Majesty is serving porridge inside and outside the city now. Recently, the people in the small town have less resentment towards Feng Shangshu, and they have a good impression of us new Jin soldiers, so this matter is feasible."
"How can I send in the written article?"
"Let the Kongming Lanterns be sent there, and we will set up the Kongming Lanterns on a day when the westerly wind blows."
"What if they can't read?" Bai Erlang felt that they needed to consider various issues, "Maybe they don't know Chinese characters?"
"The official language and characters used by Goguryeo are all the same as ours, so why don't you know them?" Bai Shandao: "However, there are few ordinary people who can read characters. This point really needs to be considered. If this is the case, then paint the articles into paintings. Bar."
Bai Shandao: "If you don't know how to read, you will always know how to draw?"
Bai Erlang pointed to his nose and asked, "Shall I draw?"
Bai Shan, "If you don't paint, should I still paint?" Are you ashamed to bully an injured patient
Bai Erlang called out, "Do you think I can draw it?"
"Why not? Although your drawing skills are really lacking, you can still draw things clearly. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of years of study?" Bai Shan said, "Draw as long as you are asked to draw, what are you afraid of? "
So Bai Erlang went to look for the emperor, and when he came out, he took a lot of paper and sent the paper to Bai Shan's house first, then went to the gate of the city to support his head to see the Goguryeo people who were serving porridge, and sent them Write down your demeanor and words...
When Man Bao saw him passing by on a horse, he left 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 prison camp? Why did you come back?"
Zhou Man: "I'll be back when I'm done."
She dismounted and squatted with him to look at the refugees queuing up to receive the porridge. Seeing that the numbness on their faces was much less, "There is a result in the prisoner camp."
In the past few days, she obeyed the imperial decree, and besides treating the Jin soldiers, she went to the prison camp.
The captives in the captive 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 and place of origin, and then send them back to their place of origin.
Except for a few people, no one would go back to the domestic city to continue serving as a soldier. Most of them sneaked back to their hometown.
There was no other way. They didn't have much military rations, so they couldn't support so many prisoners. It was better to give each of them two or three meals of dry food, and then let them find their own way to go home.
As for this group of Goguryeo soldiers who were just captured, the emperor gave them a lot of preferential treatment. He didn't let them go, and even transferred an imperial doctor like Zhou Man to treat wounds every day.
The purpose is to buy people's hearts.
As soon as Bai Erlang heard that her task had been completed, his eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately got up and said, "Then why are you still cold, go back and report."
Then there is no need for him to think of a way, right
Man Bao glanced at him and said: "It is true that rats have their way, and snakes have their way, but the snake's way is not easy."
In addition to Zhou Man, Xue Bei, who is honest and honest, has been working in the prison camp, so Man Bao waited for him to come and report to the emperor.
"...the five captives who came to surrender, they used to be a formation patrolling the city wall," Man Bao said, "They said that one year there were prisoners fleeing from the inner city, and the city gates were kept closed, but the people just disappeared. They were patrolling At that time, I found that there was a hole in the city wall under the moat, because the moat originally connected the inside and outside of the city. That section is special, and few people usually go there. During the Spring and Autumn Period, that hole was revealed again."
Xue Bei added: "They have reported it before, but because the inner city is in the hinterland of Goguryeo, such a small hole is harmless, so it has not been repaired."
Zhao Guogong immediately asked, "Is that hole still there?"
"exist."
"But," Man Bao said with a frown, "it's too cold now, and there are ice floes floating in the river, so getting into the water at this time is easy to cause accidents."
The emperor and the others felt that this was a small problem, and certain sacrifices were normal. He even ordered death squads to attack the city, but the generals were reluctant to use the lives of the soldiers to fill up a fruitless battle. The emperor felt heartbroken when he thought about it. Finally gave up.
However, this approach can bear fruit. Once people enter the city and approach the city gate, they will be half successful.
The emperor asked: "Are the warriors you selected earlier still there?"
Zhao Guogong responded immediately: "Yes."
The emperor nodded slightly, "Screen again, and weed out those who can't swim. Let them try to enter the water in the past two days, and don't rush to move."
Then he turned his head to look at Bai Erlang: "How do you think about the way you want to think? You have to think of a way before they act. It would be best if you can make people in the inner city float."
Bai Erlang could only go back silently and continue to stare at the refugees.
