Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 814

Chapter 814: Chapter 811: Rest Now

Yang Wuce sat on his horse without dismounting, looking at Cao Renyi, and chuckled lightly. He felt that Cao Renyi was exactly as the Princess of Zhen had anticipated, wanting to negotiate terms with the Princess using Daming Prefecture.

However, the Princess of Zhen had already instructed that Cao Renyi was proud and arrogant, so leave him be and see him after taking Daming Prefecture.

Yang Wuce said, "The Princess of Zhen has sent General Zhao Sheng to lead a unit to Daming Prefecture. The forces from Daming Prefecture have been dispatched in full strength, so I believe... it will soon be taken by General Zhao Sheng."

Cao Renyi widened his eyes, shocked and unable to regain his composure for quite some time. He shouted, "How many men did Zhao Sheng take?"

"Less than sixty thousand! General Cao, rest assured... the Princess of Zhen has given orders; thus... after General Zhao enters the city, there will be no harm to the citizens!" Yang Wuce cupped his hands towards Cao Renyi and said, "The Princess of Zhen has other instructions, and we will discuss them afterwards, General Cao!"

Cao Renyi felt a surge of blood in his chest, snarling inwardly. Discuss?! Discuss what? Discuss the kindness of my surrender and being captured alive by you?!

The disarmed Liang soldiers were gradually leaving with the Jin Army, being detained in batches.

Because Cao Renyi and Yang Wuce were old acquaintances, the Jin Army still showed some degree of care, sending a military doctor to bandage Cao Renyi.

Just before dawn, news came from the direction of Daming Prefecture that Zhao Sheng and Zhao Ran had taken the city and were welcoming the Princess of Zhen into the city.

On the morning of the first day of January, the eighteenth year of the reign of Xuanjia, the Jin Army captured Daming Prefecture, and the Princess of Zhen, Bai Qingyan, led her forces into the city.

Once Zhao Sheng entered the city, the local officials were very obedient... they had already moved their families out of their residences, providing the Princess of Zhen with a place to stay.

After ensuring the soldiers had thoroughly searched the place, Zhao Sheng invited Bai Qingyan to reside there.

Doctor Hong and other military doctors followed into the city, going first to the treatment center to treat citizens affected by the epidemic.

The soldiers had battled through the night and were worn out, but still couldn’t contain their excitement and exhilaration at having taken Daming Prefecture overnight. Especially after entering the city, when citizens came forward to welcome them, kneeling and begging the Jin Army to treat their family members’ illnesses, the soldiers managed the infected according to the prior orders from the Princess of Zhen, until Doctor Hong and the other military doctors took over.

Bai Qingyan hadn’t slept all night and inspected the camp upon entering the city, as was customary. Xiao Rongyan did not persuade Bai Qingyan to rest either, following her from one injured soldiers’ camp to another.

The wounded soldiers were in the injury camp, cleaning their wounds. Some soldiers saw Bai Qingyan, who had led them to a victorious surprise attack on the Liang Army last night, and hurriedly stood up to greet her.
