Chapter 22 A great harvest
  When Xu Yihuan heard this, he knew that the matter had been accomplished. He reined his horse forward and stopped at the intersection with Du Lieutenant General.

Lieutenant General Du leaned close to Xu Yihuan, and said with a smile, "Miss Xu, we caught it, there are 1,500 people hiding in the forest." When he said this, his eyes were still shining.

When Xu Yihuan heard this, her heart trembled, "So many?"

She glanced at the deputy general in disbelief, then turned to look at the five soldiers who had been demoted to corps commander: They were given an advantage.

"Not much, not much. The prince sent someone here. Let me tell you, he captured David's baggage troops behind the mountain, which is enough for a thousand people." After saying that, he raised his finger and pointed to the sky and the sky at the mouth of the canyon.

"Together with the twenty ambushers on the ground at the entrance of the canyon, we have all been caught. If it weren't for your skill just now, we would have shot those few people dead."

Lieutenant General Du had never fought in such a smooth battle. All in all, he only lost a few crossbows and a few soldiers were slightly injured.

When Xu Yihuan heard this, she laughed out loud. It was the result she wanted.

"Okay, let's see how to deal with these people. I'll deal with them at will. You can go back and see if it's okay." Xu Yihuan pointed to the centurions behind him.

Vice General Du nodded, stretched his neck to look, turned around with a smile, and the group returned with five hundred Jingwei.

The valley is not long. If it were not for the narrow skyline at the mouth of the canyon, Xu Yihuan would have thought that the two mountains on both sides were moved here by humans and were squeezed together, which was very uncoordinated.

When they came out of the mountain road, they saw Yeshang waiting on his horse.

Xu Yi stepped forward with a smile and said: "I have met the prince."

Yeshang looked at her with a stern face: "Yeah"

At this moment, holding back the anger in his heart, he turned around, reined in his horse and left.

Xu Yihuan froze on the spot and looked at Vice General Du with a confused look on his face: "What's wrong with him?"

Vice General Du smiled and whispered: "Your Majesty is angry. He came out without permission this morning. He came all the way from the south."

Xu Yihuan sighed, it turned out that I had done something wrong.

"What should we do? Was he this angry before?" Xu Yihuan picked up the whip and flattered him.

The horse followed Xiang Yeshang in small steps.

All the lieutenants were overjoyed. The prince's fiancée was such a good character that she would care if he was angry.

Unlike the previous fiancées, they were looking for life and death, and they were not grand at all.

"In the past, he had no chance to get angry. Just go talk to him and it will be over in a while."

Xu Yihuan nodded knowingly.

He reined in his horse and walked to Yeshang's side.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "I'm hungry."

Ye Shang gave her a cold look, took out a paper bag from the saddle and handed it to her: "Only this"

Xu Yihuan took the bag and opened it, it was sesame seed cakes.

He smiled and said thank you to Yeshang, eating and walking without hesitation.

The reins and sesame cakes in his hands were grabbed randomly from time to time.

Yeshang glanced at it and couldn't stand it any longer. He approached Xu Yihuan and grabbed the reins from her hand: "Just concentrate on eating."

Xu Yihuan felt happy in her heart. It turned out that she was cold on the outside and cold on the inside.

Soon, after finishing the sesame cakes in his hands, Xu Yihuan asked Yeshang for a water bag.

After drinking the water, he asked Yeshang for sesame cakes.

Ye Shang had no choice but to have people take out sesame seed cakes from the hands of his subordinates for Xu Yihuan to eat, and walked for half an hour eating and drinking.

Only then did Xu Yihuan feel less hungry.

Seeing that Yeshang's expression improved a lot, Xu Yihuan started to chat with him. “Your Majesty, how much baggage have been collected this time?”

In fact, she didn't care about the baggage. She was more concerned about the reward for Ye Shang's seizure of the baggage this time.

Yeshang frowned: "Two hundred bows and arrows, three hundred knives, some iron spirits and fifty war horses." He was very surprised by the baggage captured this time.

Logically speaking, the baggage army should be escorted by a thousand people. When he arrived with 2,000 troops and horses, there were only more than 200 people guarding him.

According to his guess, this group of transporting troops should be the 1,500 people captured by Lieutenant General Du. As for why they suddenly changed their route into the mountains and set up a trap to hunt Xu Yihuan, this was beyond his expectation.

Xu Yihuan nodded and said: "In total, it can save Dajin a lot of military expenses." She turned her head and looked behind her, and made a rough calculation. There were less than 3,000 men and horses in total, but less than 100 horses.

After careful calculation, this baggage supply solved the urgent need of the Jin army.

Yeshang snorted coldly and shook his head, but did not speak.

The Jin Dynasty had no shortage of military expenses. The reason why the soldiers lived a miserable life was because the sixth and fifth princes were filling their own pockets. One was in charge of food and grass, and the other was in charge of luggage.

Therefore, after three months of fighting against David, the army still had not regained the stolen city land.

Xu Yihuan saw that he had no intention of chatting and his expression was much better than before, so he kicked the horse's belly and turned around to chat with the deputy general.

"How about it?"

Before he even got close, Lieutenant General Du came forward and asked.

Xu Yihuan frowned and glanced at Yeshang, then turned to Vice General Du and said, "He doesn't like to talk. I'll come over and talk to you."

"Tell me, what reward can we get for such a big achievement this time?" Xu Yihuan approached Vice General Du with great interest, expecting him to say something earth-shattering.

Although Ye Shang and Lieutenant General Du took credit, she still used herself as a bait to attract the attention of David's enemy. Only then did Lieutenant General Du secretly sneak Chen Cang into the woods and capture him.

Should she be given some credit and be rewarded based on her merits? She would be able to get it.

The deputy general rolled his eyes at her and looked downcast.

"Reward? How is it possible?" Xu Yihuan asked in surprise.

How come there is no reward for such a great contribution? These things are brought into the base camp and everyone can see them. How come there is no reward?

Vice General Du's reaction was the same as Ye Shang's. He snorted twice and said nothing.

Xu Yihuan was anxious, riding on the horse's belly to get closer to Vice General Du, raised his hand to use the devil fruit, stretched out his hand and twisted Vice General Du's ears: "If you don't tell me, I will continue to pinch your ears."

The deputy general called out "Ouch", and he raised his hand to pull Xu Yihuan's hand off, but Xu Yihuan grabbed his ear and wouldn't let go.

"If you don't tell me, I'm going to twist the other ear too." Xu Yihuan gestured and stretched out her hand to twist his other ear.

The deputy general shouted with a grimace: "It hurts, it hurts."

Ye Shang heard the sound and cast his gaze, only to see Xu Yihuan's slender arm falling on Lieutenant General Du's ear.

Lieutenant General Du's face was painful, and he slapped Xu Yihuan's arm with both hands.

Xu Yihuan looked angry.

"What's wrong?" Ye Shang stopped his horse and asked the deputy general behind him to lead the team forward.

"Hmph, why didn't you tell me what the reward would be for grabbing the baggage and the prisoners? How could I still snatch it from you?" Xu Yihuan angrily let go of his hand and turned his face away from the two of them.

Yeshang stiffened for a moment and sighed: "It's not that I didn't tell you, it's that I didn't tell you at all."

"You are lying, how is it possible?" Xu Yihuan yelled at Yeshang with a temper.

Lieutenant General Du's ears were red with pain. He raised his hand and rubbed them: "It's true. We don't need to lie to you. Look at the hundreds of prisoners we brought back yesterday. Did we get any rewards?"

Vice General Du felt ashamed of his brothers. When he said this, he lowered his head.
