As for the remaining one or two thousand capable people who surrendered, Tang Ye did not immediately execute them.

After two days of detention, he would personally interrogate each person about what they were capable of, what crimes they had committed, and finally decide whether they were alive or dead.

Because this city surrendered on its own initiative, it was very easy to hand over, and Tang Ye asked Huang Qi to still serve as the city lord of the Art City.

And the guard who let Tang Ye and them enter the city is named Qian Bai, the word Cangsong, the strength of the third level. Tang Ye directly promoted him to the rank of general, and directly followed him to the left and right, becoming a minister.

Qian Bai was also flattered by this, and repeatedly announced his allegiance to Tang Ye.

It took less than an hour for Tang Ye to completely take over the Art Learning City, and it was just noon at this time.

Tang Ye held a celebration banquet, and then checked the casualties this time according to the casualty report sent by Zhuge Gu.

The 80,000 soldiers he brought were injured by about 5,000, while the original 40,000 soldiers in Art City were injured by more than 15,000, and in general, Tang Ye's strength increased by 20,000.

However, Tang Ye was not satisfied with this, because the 20,000 dead and wounded could have become his soldiers, but because of the rebellion of those capable people, the casualties were increased in vain.

20,000 soldiers, if it is a necessary sacrifice, it will be counted, but it will make people very angry if they are consumed in vain by this group of capable people.

Therefore, early the next morning, Tang Ye asked Pisley and Daji to gather the more than 2,600 capable people and strangers one by one in front of the military council building, and according to the crimes of everyone prepared by Huang Qi, they directly took those who intentionally killed people, raped women, and other people who brutally violated Tang Ye's bottom line to the execution ground and beheaded them on the spot, without even questioning their ability.

For a time, the entire execution ground was strewn with corpses and rivers of blood, but no one had the slightest mercy for these extremely vicious people.

And the rest of those who killed people for a special reason, the crime they committed was not too serious, and they had realized their mistake and had not committed a crime for a long time, Tang Ye stayed for further interrogation.

At this time, there were less than 1,000 people left in the original 2,600 people.

The rest of the people were basically pardoned for their crimes and filled into the army, and the six or seven third-rank capable people were pulled by Pisley for special training, and these people will still be of great help after training.

After that, Tang Ye asked the internal affairs officials Pang Jing, Tian Fei and others to issue an order to benefit the people in the surrounding cities, so that the people who were willing to enter the Art City to settle down would be given free accommodation for ten years, and also gave rations, improved seeds and other items, and promised that those criminals in the Art City had been eliminated.

In just ten days, thousands of people from the surrounding villages and other cities arrived, and the art city, which was originally not willing to be settled by ordinary people, suddenly became lively.

In this way, Tang Ye used his ability to revitalize a city, so that the Art City could be self-sufficient, and there was no need to transfer materials such as grain and grass from other cities.

And in these ten days of cultivation, Tang Ye has also sent an ultimatum to the last longboard city, if he does not surrender, he will kill a total of 150,000 troops on both sides of Liang Xue.

Finally, on the last day of the ultimatum, the enemy finally replied, in which they made it clear that they were willing to surrender, and only hoped that Tang Ye could guarantee not to kill a single citizen or soldier in the city.

Tang Ye naturally would not kill innocents indiscriminately, so he led an army of 80,000 to march towards Longboard City that day.
