Chapter 2116 Win!

Although the fight was difficult and many people died, we still won in the end.

Won!

Finally, finally, I won!

The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a party.

Although many comrades died, the joy of victory spread so wildly that no one felt the cold or sadness.

But Zhao Yuanjing knew in his heart that once such a fanatical atmosphere cooled down, many people would probably die in vain.

He did not allow the soldiers to make any more noise, and ordered several generals to immediately lead people to Qingniao City, light a bonfire for the soldiers to dry their clothes and warm themselves, and then look for food.

Zhao Yuanjing was temporarily placed in the Elder's Courtyard.

Change clothes, treat wounds, warm yourself by fire, drink soup, and warm your body.

As for the elders of the Jiuli tribe, half of them died, and the remaining few were captured like Ji Li.

They are the top leaders of the Jiuli tribe. Except for Ji Tangtang, all of them will be taken to Kyoto for interrogation before being sentenced, imprisoned, or executed.

The reason why they were not killed on the spot was to ease the mood of the Jiuli people.

Dazhou wanted to conquer Jiuli, not to destroy them.

While Zhao Yuanjing was wrapped in warm fur and drinking hot soup, Ji Tangtang opened the door and walked in.

Because of her performance on the battlefield, Xu Hu and other generals also changed their attitude towards her. They allowed her to move around the city as she pleased and did not stop her from coming to see the emperor.

She didn't look at Zhao Yuanjing, but walked to the fire, squatted down, and stretched out her hands to warm herself.

The firelight illuminated her cheeks, leaving half of her face in shadow and half of her face like a burning cloud.

Zhao Yuanjing looked at her.

"Do you think I still look like Sister Yun now?" she asked quietly.

Zhao Yuanjing was slightly startled, then shook his head: "It's not the same. To be precise, you have never been the same. You don't have to take that matter to heart at that time."

Ji Tangtang stared at the fire in trance and asked for a long time: "What will you do to my mother-in-law?"

"Bring her back to Kyoto and imprison her temporarily. As for the future...it depends on the situation. If the situation in Jiuli is stable and she changes, I can consider letting her go. But thinking about it, the chance is not great."

After Zhao Yuanjing finished speaking, he added, "At most, she will be imprisoned for life and her life will not be taken. After all, she has a high prestige in the hearts of Jiuli people."

Ji Tangtang stood up and said, "Even if you win, the Jiuli people will not surrender or compromise easily. They are different from the Northern Qi people."

Zhao Yuanjing's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "Are you here to dissuade me? Even if Dai'er likes you and treats you kindly, if you dare to stop me, I will kill you."

"I am the patriarch of Jiuli. If I make the decision, I believe they will obey."

"You?" Zhao Yuanjing was a little surprised, "Why do you want to persuade your people to surrender?"

"Because I hate fighting."

She said, "With you and Sister Yun here, I believe you will treat my people well. As you said, they will also be your people."

Zhao Yuanjing looked at her, thinking about how much of her words were true and how false.

"How can I believe what you say?"

"My people temporarily hid in the mountains to avoid the war and your artillery. Life in the mountains is not easy. There are wild beasts and poisonous insects." Ji Tangtang said, "The reason why Aniang invaded Northern Qi is to bring peace to the people. Looking for a more comfortable place to live. Therefore, I can let them disperse and migrate to your town. Completely abandon everything in Jade Bird City."

Zhao Yuanjing asked: "Will they be willing?"
