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

Win!

Finally, finally, win!

The Great Zhou soldiers reveled.

Although many comrades-in-arms died, the joy of victory spread too wildly, and everyone could not feel the cold and sadness.

But Zhao Yuanjing knew in his heart that once such a frenzied atmosphere cooled down, I was afraid that many people would die in vain.

He didn't allow the soldiers to make any more noise, and ordered several generals to immediately bring people into the Blue Bird City, light a bonfire to dry the soldiers' clothes, warm their bodies, and then look for food.

Zhao Yuanjing was temporarily placed in the elder's house.

Changing clothes, treating wounds, baking fires, drinking soup, warming the body.

As for the elders of the Jiuli clan, half of them died, and the rest were all arrested like Ji Li.

They were the supreme leaders of the Jiuli clan, and except for Ji Tangtang, all of them had to be taken to Kyoto for interrogation, and then sentenced, imprisoned, or beheaded.

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

Da Zhou wanted to subdue Jiuli, not to destroy them.

Zhao Yuanjing was wrapped in warm fur and drank hot soup while holding it, Ji Tangtang pushed the door and walked in.

Because of her performance on the battlefield, Xu Hu and other generals also changed their attitude towards her, and she walked around the city at will, and did not prevent her from coming to see the emperor.

She didn't glance at Zhao Yuanjing, but walked to the fire, squatted down, and stretched out her hand to bake the fire.

The light of the fire reflected on her cheeks, leaving her half face in shadow and half like a burning cloud.

Zhao Yuanjing looked at her.

"Do you think I'm still like Sister Yun now?" She asked softly.

Zhao Yuanjing was slightly stunned, and then shook his head: "It's not like it." To be precise, you're never the same. You don't have to take that to heart at the time. ”

Ji Tangtang stared at the firelight, and asked for a while, "What will you do with my aunt?" ”

"Brought back to Kyoto and temporarily detained. As for the future...... It depends. If Jiuli's situation is stable and she has changed, I can consider letting her go. But come to think of it, this chance is not very high. ”

After Zhao Yuanjing finished speaking, he added, "At most, I will imprison her for life, and I won't want her life." After all, she has a high prestige in the eyes of the Jiuli people. ”

Ji Tangtang stood up and said, "Even if you win, the Jiuli people will not surrender and 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 Daile likes you and treats you kindly, if you dare to stop you, I will kill you. ”

"I am the patriarch of Jiuli, if I am in charge, I believe they will obey."

"You?" Zhao Yuanjing was a little surprised, "Why are you trying to persuade your people to surrender?" ”

"Because, I hate wars."

She said, "With you and Sister Yun here, I'm sure you'll be kind to my people." As you say, they will be your people. ”

Zhao Yuanjing looked at her and thought about her words, how true and how false they were.

"How can I believe what you say?"

"My people have taken refuge in the mountains to escape the war and your artillery. Life in the mountains is not easy, there are wild beasts, and there are poisonous insects. Ji Tangtang said, "The reason why A-Niang invaded the Northern Qi Dynasty was also to find a more comfortable place for the clansmen. So, I can let them disperse and migrate to your towns. Completely abandon everything in Bluebird City. ”

Zhao Yuanjing asked, "Will they be willing?" ”
