Lu Yuan felt that when he would ask Bai Mengyang, the latter should not refuse, and he could send someone to take away the captured soldiers' families as requested.
Thus, the problem would not be significant.
Concerning this matter, Zhou Qing naturally nodded, "Disciple understands, and will do so later."
With that, the handling of the prisoners of war had been settled.
...
The next morning, due to the sudden decision to escort the prisoners away, Lu Yuan arranged for five thousand men to transport the prisoners back to Jiangnan.
As a result, only fifteen thousand soldiers remained in Guining Mansion.
Lan Cai'er led these men, staying in the city and guarding the army's rear.
As for the remaining fifteen thousand civilian captives, Lu Yuan disbursed travel expenses and sent them home directly.
