Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Leng Youran chuckled and said nothing. She walked down the city wall with Leng Yuyang and Li Tianze.

When leaving, Leng Youran glanced in the direction of the army and saw General Yang and others glaring at their location.

If looks could kill, they would have been riddled with holes long ago.

It's a pity that his eyes can't kill.

Not long after returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Leng Yuze came back.

"Brother, sister, brother-in-law, do you know how many people were arrested this time?"

Leng Yuyang and Leng Youran looked at each other without saying anything, but Li Tianze said without a second thought, "Second brother, just tell me how many people there are!"

"Hahahaha, hahahahaha, my brother-in-law and I just did a count, and now we know there are a full 20,000 people."

"Twenty thousand?"

Three exclamations sounded at the same time.

They also saw the situation just now, and to be honest, this was a number they did not expect.

After all, Leng Yuyang did not send out many cavalry this time. First, the distance to the city gate was so short that it would be too difficult to retreat with too many horses. Second, they also knew that even with the help of the big net, one person could only drag back a few people at most.

"Yes, this is something we didn't expect. You didn't know that when we were just sorting out the big net, we saw that many soldiers actually caught seven or eight people in one net. And that's not a small number. The largest net caught at least five people."

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, I can't help but laugh when I think of the miserable plight of those Eastern Jin soldiers. Perhaps it was because the brothers were too violent. When they were released from the net, many marks were left on their bodies and faces by the big net..."

Leng Yuze became more and more excited as he spoke, and before he knew it, he had told him everything that had happened in the military camp.

He also told the soldiers who had been captured earlier about what had happened in the past two days.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze listened with great interest.

They really didn't know the situation of the captives. After they were told that the battle was handed over to Leng Yuyang and his men, they did not interfere in the affairs of the city.

There are many things that Leng Yuyang and the others don't say and they won't ask about.

Only after hearing Leng Yuze's words did they realize that many of the soldiers they had captured before had begun to intend to surrender.

It is said that after learning about how soldiers were treated in the North, they all felt that this was a better place to live.

Many people also took the initiative to contact their families and inform them of their intention to settle down in the North.

"Brother, you still need to verify the families of these people. Even if they come, don't let them enter Beidi City. Not to mention that there are already enough people in the city, even with their status, it would be difficult for them to avoid being excluded."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "After this battle is over, let's quickly build the outer city!"

"Well, don't worry, little sister. We have verified all the letters they sent. Even the messengers are our people. We won't let anyone with ulterior motives take advantage of us."

"As for the outer city, we will discuss it after everything is settled. As for those who were captured, we will continue to restrict their movements and will not take it lightly."

Leng Youran nodded. Actually, it was unnecessary for her to say all this. Her elder brother was not a fool, so how could he not know anything?

"Okay, then we'll go back first. Big brother, you guys should discuss the next plan!"

"Don't you want to stay and listen?" He finally realized that his younger sister had simply given up and didn't care about the battle at all.

Leng Youran stood up and shook his head repeatedly, "Brother, please let me go. I rarely have any free time now." After that, he smiled playfully at Leng Yuyang, took Li Tianze's big hand and strode away.

It looked as if someone was chasing her from behind.

Only after leaving the City Lord's Mansion did Li Tianze smile and say, "Do you regret not distributing the things you are doing earlier?"

Leng Youran nodded vigorously, "Who said that? If I had handed these things over to my brothers earlier, I wouldn't have been so exhausted. Now I feel so relieved!"

As he spoke, he opened his arms and took a long breath.

**

"A bunch of trash."

The boss sneered when he saw General Yang returning with his army in disgrace.

The people around him also had sarcastic smiles on their faces.

Although the soldiers who returned did not have many scars on their bodies, it was obvious that their number was much smaller than before the expedition.

They already knew what happened on the battlefield two days ago, so there was no need to think that today's battle was another trick played by the people from the north.

Seeing General Yang and others dismounting and walking towards this side, the boss turned around and left in big strides.

When General Yang saw the sneers on their faces, his expression became even more gloomy.

"General, we can't defend against this move by the North. This is not going to work. We have lost 30,000 men before the battle even starts. If this continues..." After returning to the main tent, the deputy generals began to complain incessantly.

General Yang scratched his head, he was also confused!

This was the first time he had seen Beidi's fighting style, and he had no way to respond.

They thought that the northern soldiers would use black sticks to attack again this time, and wanted the soldiers to stick together. If they robbed people like before, they would not be at a disadvantage. Who would have thought that they would not play by the rules and directly use fishing nets.

Because of what happened before, he no longer has the face to ask the boss for their opinions.

As for the deputy generals below, none of them had any plan in their minds, especially when facing those people from the north, they seemed even more brainless.

Thinking about what the boss and the others had said before about only three chances to fight, his face suddenly fell.

After waving his hand to let everyone leave, he sat alone in the chair, staring blankly at the tent above his head.

I don't know what he was thinking about, but he waved his hand and threw everything on the table in front of him to the ground.

Several lieutenant generals who came out of the tent shook their heads in disdain when they heard the noise behind them.

He secretly thought he deserved it.

"General Du, you've fought against the North before. Do they often act unreasonably like this?"

General Du, with a big belly, sneered, "Oh, I've never encountered this before. I don't know if it's just bad luck for you. Although the defenders have changed this time, they came up with this tactic. I think they just don't want to fight us. They just want to wear us down. Look at how many soldiers you brought with you have been lost."

Several deputy generals who came with General Yang lowered their heads in shame and anger.

It should have been a happy thing that there were no casualties on the battlefield, but when they thought of those who were taken captive, they felt a chill.

Whatever the people from the North wanted to do by kidnapping those people, it was a shame for them.

The soldiers were captured before the battle even started. It was such a shame and humiliation.

Everyone looked at the tent where General Yang was in tacit understanding.

There was a look of contempt on their faces.
