After discussing the battle situation in Liaodong with Gu Liyu and Pei Jun, Li Yuntian, accompanied by the two, went to the prisoner camp to check on the Mongol soldiers who had been captured by Gu Liyu earlier.

The prisoner camp is located on the north side of the Suzaku camp, where there is a square urn city with a tall city wall, there is only one city gate in the urn city, and there are arrow towers, gate gates, pheasant moats and other buildings on the city wall, which are the places that Li Yuntian deliberately designed to hold prisoners of war.

Li Yuntian knew very well that it was not easy to promote the integration of the various departments outside the Guan, and war was inevitable, so he promised to establish such an urn city in Liaodong Suzaku for daily training in prisoner of war management, and it would become a huge prisoner of war camp in wartime.

The inner area of the city was divided into several prison districts, separated by high and wide walls, on which soldiers patrolled back and forth.

Each prison area is neatly built with rows of thatched houses, which are functionally divided into three major areas: residential area, medical area and leisure area.

The city wall of the urn city is the highest, and if you stand on it, you can have a panoramic view of the scenes of several prison districts in Weng City, and monitor the movements of several prison districts.

Li Yuntian stood in the city gate tower and looked out, only to see that there were many captured Mongolian soldiers in a prison area in the east of the urn city, who were gathering in groups in the open space to bask in the sun, looking very leisurely.

"What's going on?" Suddenly, Li Yuntian's eyes fell on a prison area in the south of Wengcheng, and he was surprised to find that there were more than a thousand Mongolian women and children living in it, and he couldn't help but ask Gu Liyu who followed behind him with some curiosity, could it be that the Mongols used female soldiers?

"Master Hou, some family members of Mongolian tribes came with the army and were captured by the lowly office." Gu Liyu bowed down when he heard this, and replied in a low voice.

Li Yuntian now understood what was going on, unlike the Ming army, the army of the Tatar and Warat tribes was composed of people from various tribes, serving the people in leisure time and soldiers in wartime, and usually needed to prepare their own weapons, dry food and horses when fighting.

Therefore, some small tribes will follow behind the nomadic herding to pick up some cheap when the Mongol army goes south to plunder, but I didn't expect that the sergeants of the Xiaowu Army Vermilion Bird Battalion in Kaiyuan City could actually repel the superior Mongolian soldiers, which made the people of those small tribes also unlucky and became prisoners of the Suzaku Battalion of the Xiaowu Army.

"Let's go, let's see." Li Yuntian didn't expect that there would be a female captive, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he walked away, surrounded by everyone, and went down the city wall to investigate the prison area where those Mongolian women and children were held.

The women and children in the southern prison area were busy washing clothes in the courtyard, cooking and taking care of the children.

Suddenly, the closed door opened, and a large group of sergeants in armor poured in from outside, and the women and children were immediately frightened, and gathered together in horror, looking timidly at the group of uninvited guests in front of them, not knowing what they were going to do.

Under the frightened gaze of those women and children, Li Yuntian walked to a row of straw huts with stoves in the courtyard, which was the dormitory area of the prison area, responsible for the food and drink in the prison area, and the prisoners elected people to cook, and Xiaowujun was responsible for providing the ingredients.

Coming to a stove, Li Yuntian lifted the lid of a large pot on it and looked at it, the pot was making vegetable paste, so he picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful and tasted it, although it tasted a little astringent, but the taste was really good, almost the same as the rations of ordinary people in Liaodong.

"Meet your lordship." Just as Li Yuntian was tasting the taste of vegetable paste, a middle-aged woman with a strong physique and wearing a black Xiaowu military uniform hurriedly came over and bowed to Li Yuntian and said.

"My lord, she is the chief of this prison area, and like the jailer in charge of this prison area, she is a female dependent selected from our Liaodong Xiaowu military household, unless a riot breaks out, men cannot enter this prison area, and can only patrol the city wall." Gu Liyu stepped forward and explained to Li Yuntian with a smile.

In order to prevent those female prisoners from being harassed by the guards, he recruited women from the military households of the Liaodong Xiaowu Army to serve as jailers, and forbade male guards to set foot in the prison area.

"Not bad!" Hearing this, Li Yuntian put down the spoon in his hand, smiled and nodded to Gu Liyu, he was very satisfied with Gu Liyu's arrangement, he was worried that some messy things would happen between those female prisoners and the male guards, but now it seems that Gu Liyu has taken the initiative and effectively prevented this kind of thing from happening.

After getting Li Yuntian's praise, Gu Liyu's face couldn't help but show a smug smile, he had been by Li Yuntian's side for some years, and he had learned a lot from Li Yuntian, and he considered things more comprehensively.

"What's the problem here?" Li Yuntian then walked out of the grass hut and went to check on the prison accompanied by everyone, asking the female prison chief who bowed down and followed behind him as he walked.

Hearing this, the female supervisor couldn't help but look at Gu Liyu on the side, although she didn't know Li Yuntian's identity, but from Gu Liyu's respectful words and deeds, she knew that Li Yuntian was in a high position, so she didn't know how to answer Li Yuntian, for fear of saying the wrong thing.

"Tell me the truth." Gu Liyu was aware of the female warden's concerns, so he smiled slightly and said to the female warden, signaling him not to be nervous.

"My lord, the little ones can't figure out why they are so good to these captives, their rations are already the same as what we eat." The female warden's nervous mood immediately became calm, perhaps because of Li Yuntian's kind face, so she hesitated for a moment and then asked boldly, her tone was a little incomprehensible.

"I'm a state of etiquette, since they've laid down their weapons, why don't you give them a chance to mend their ways." Li Yuntian immediately laughed when he heard this, and said methodically after glancing at the female prison director.

He had already guessed that some people were dissatisfied with the good treatment of those captives, and they must have thought that they had wasted food in vain, after all, there was no such thing as preferential treatment of prisoners in ancient society, and food was limited, so it was good enough to keep those captives from starving to death or dying of disease, and many captives were either killed or sold into slavery, and it would be incomprehensible that the Xiaowu army gave those captives the same rations as the common people.

Of course, Li Yuntian's explanation to the female prison chief was just a high-sounding excuse, and the reason why he wanted to treat those prisoners preferentially was to consider the long-term consideration, not only to recruit the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the future, but also to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the other party, so that the remnants of the Northern Yuan soldiers would not be killed in a desperate battle with the Ming army, so as to reduce the casualties of the Ming army.

After listening to Li Yuntian's righteous words, the female supervisor nodded as if she didn't understand, she naturally knew that the Ming Dynasty was a state of etiquette, although she felt that Li Yuntian's statement was a bit flashy, but from a moral point of view, it was understandable.

While speaking, Li Yuntian walked into a prison cell, where two rows of high and low beds were neatly arranged, and there were several rows of wardrobes in the corner for storing personal belongings.

Li Yuntian nodded when he saw this, and then withdrew from the room, very satisfied with the management of the prison area, in his opinion, this is not only a matter of the prison area, but more importantly, it reflects the enforcement of the rules and regulations assigned by the Liaodong Vermilion Bird Battalion of the Xiaowu Army.

"This adult, please save the people's daughter's grandma!" Li Yuntian felt that there was no problem in the women's prison and was about to go to the men's prison to take a look, not long after he left the cell, when he was walking and talking with Gu Liyu and Pei Jun, a girl with two long braids suddenly rushed out from among the female prisoners on the side, and shouted at Li Yuntian.

Seeing this, several people who were in charge of guarding the periphery immediately stepped forward and pressed the girl to the ground, and the girl shouted at Li Yuntian with an anxious expression, begging Li Yuntian to save her mother.

This made the female captives next to them can't help but stir, and it also made the sergeants on guard around subconsciously use their knives and guns to aim their bright weapons at them, and the situation on the scene suddenly became tense.

"Stand down!" Li Yuntian looked at the girl who was shouting at him with some surprise, he was surprised that the girl could speak standard Jingshi dialect, and saw that the situation in the field was a little tense, so he waved his hand at the sergeants.

Hearing this, the sergeants withdrew their weapons and took a step back, but they still maintained a vigilant posture.

"Bring her here." Then, Li Yuntian glanced at the girl who was pressing to the ground and struggling desperately, and said in a deep voice to Gu Liyu beside him.

"My lord, for the sake of immortality, please save the people's daughter's grandmother, the people's daughter is willing to serve you as a cow and a horse!" Gu Liyu beckoned, and the girl was escorted over, knelt in front of Li Yuntian with a plop, and kowtowed to Li Yuntian with tears streaming down her face.

"What's going on?" Li Yuntian frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked at the female prison director on the side, there are medical rooms in each prison area, could it be that the girl's mother has not been treated.

"My lord, her mother is seriously ill, and there are no medicinal herbs for treatment in the entire prison." Hearing this, the female prison chief hurriedly bowed down to Li Yuntian, hesitated for a moment and said, "However, there is a medicinal herb in the pharmacy of our battalion office that can be treated, but it is too precious, and it should be kept for the sergeant who treats us." ”

Li Yuntian couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he heard this, although he adopted a preferential policy towards the captives, but the captives were enemies after all, and it was impossible for them to use that kind of precious medicinal herbs, and if they wanted to use them, they would also use them on the people of the Ming Dynasty.

"My lord, as long as you can heal the mother of the people's daughter, this life of the people's daughter is yours." At this time, the girl who was kneeling on the ground raised her head and pleaded with Li Yuntian with tears in her eyes.

Li Yuntian saw the girl's face clearly at this time, the girl's face was dirty and she couldn't see the specific appearance clearly, but her big watery eyes were very bright, and her eyes were full of sadness.

"It's not that this official doesn't treat your mother, you also know that now that my Ming Dynasty is at war with your Northern Yuan, the precious medicinal materials will naturally be kept for the soldiers and people who treat my Ming Dynasty." Seeing this, Li Yuntian couldn't help but feel a little pity, but how could he break the rules just because he pitied the girl? So after a deep groan, he quietly explained to the girl.

"My lord, the folk girl is willing to become the people of the Ming Dynasty with her family, please treat the mother of the folk girl." As soon as Li Yuntian's words fell, the girl said urgently, her eyes were full of eagerness, and she looked at Li Yuntian pitifully.

"Oh?" Li Yuntian was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at her a few times, I have to say that the girl's idea is not a workaround, which is really beyond his expectations.
