Chapter 26 Losing control
  When the Fourth Prince heard this, he suddenly became speechless.

"What did Vice General Du say? You are my officers and soldiers of the Jin Dynasty, and you shed your blood for the Jin Dynasty. Isn't that what you should do? If not, what is the use of raising you?"

When the fifth prince saw his fourth brother being criticized, he didn't care much and spoke without thinking.

The deputy general clenched the knife in his hand, stared at the fifth prince fiercely, and suddenly began to roar: "You feed us, the army has been here for three months, when will the soldiers have enough to eat?"

Suddenly the soldiers inside and outside the camp began to roar.

The shouts and curses came one after another: "Yes, yes, your wolf-hearted Highness, when did you raise us?"

"Don't take a pee and take care of yourself. What do you usually give us to eat?"

"Speaking without conscience"

"Why did Jin have such a prince?"

"Don't regard human life as human life"

The three princes suddenly panicked when they heard the loud shouts and curses in front of and behind them.

The three men and a dozen guards formed a circle, fearing that the soldiers would surround them and kill them if they got angry.

At this moment, the three of them really felt scared.

"What should I do? What should I do?" The timid sixth prince leaned on the backs of his two brothers and looked around in a panic.

Xu Yihuan was stunned on the spot. It was obvious that the atmosphere at this moment had exceeded her expectations, and her eyes lit up: "Soldiers, soldiers, listen to me."

She raised her hand, and the soldiers behind her stopped cursing, and the soldiers in the camp also lowered their voices.

It all seemed premeditated.

"Sirs, since the marshal and the three princes are nothing less than a reward for us, we don't have to force ourselves in the future. Let's release all the prisoners and baggage and return them to David."

When the soldiers heard this, they were stunned at first, and then someone came forward and said: "That's right, the marshal doesn't care about us, so we don't need to sacrifice our lives for them. David's promotion has nothing to do with us."

After finishing speaking, before Xu Yihuan could speak, the soldiers behind him untied the ropes of the prisoners and threw the baggage to them.

The prisoners witnessed Jin's military commotion and were very happy at this moment.

When the ropes were loosened, the captives and baggage were again pulled away by David's men.

The fourth prince watched Xu Yihuan let go of the Jin prisoners and baggage, and he just found out what was wrong with Xu Yihuan.

"Xu Xiaowei, if you let the tiger go back to the mountain, I will punish you for your offence."

The soldiers in the camp looked at each other in shock when they saw Xu Yihuan letting go of David's prisoners and baggage.

"Yes, from now on we will not kill the enemy unless we have enough food and are not rewarded according to military regulations."

I don’t know who suddenly shouted out, and the soldiers inside and outside the camp began to raise their hands and shout: "Regardless of merit, do not kill the enemy."

"Regardless of merit and reward, do not kill the enemy."

The scene was once again chaotic.

The three princes couldn't stand it anymore when they saw the scene.

If this continues, they will no longer be able to use their soldiers, let alone protect their safety.

They looked around the camp and heard the rising and rising sounds.

"Fourth brother, how about we give them something as a reward? If this continues, no one will fight for us anymore," the timid sixth prince whispered in the ear of the fourth prince.

The sound was scary. He looked at Xu Yihuan and Lieutenant General Du, who were standing at the gate of the camp with expressionless faces.

The three of them were indifferent to the dilemma.

"What should I do? Fourth Brother" The fifth prince also began to ask the fourth prince for help.

Among the three of them, the fourth brother is the most courageous and has the most soldiers. It is precisely because of the clever talk of the fourth brother that he has been able to collect a lot of gold, silver and jewels in the past three months.

"Calm down, calm down." The Fourth Prince took a deep breath.

"Yes"

He ordered the guards to retreat and shouted to Xu Yihuan: "Colonel Xu, since you have brought prisoners here, I will reward you on behalf of Marshal Xue."

Xu Yihuan was overjoyed, the fish took the bait.

"It's just Lieutenant Xu, do you still have prisoners and baggage now? Even if I give you a reward, you won't be able to bring anything to ask for it." The fourth prince's face was relaxed and natural, and he didn't take Xu Yihuan seriously at all.

When Xu Yihuan heard this, he felt that the prince was really a fool. Even though he was satisfied, he still had no intention of giving Xu Yihuan a reward of 500 soldiers.

His only idea now is to settle this matter at the lowest cost.

"Fourth Prince, I don't need to worry about this for you. I only need the trust of the prince to recruit our soldiers."

"The prince only needs to promise the soldiers how much a reward will be for a prisoner, and what rewards will be given for intercepting the baggage. Let our soldiers know that as long as the officers and soldiers of the Jin Dynasty have the ability to perform meritorious service, they can get rewards. Moreover, today I need the prince Set an example”

‘I heard that the King of Jin has repeatedly performed meritorious services, but none of the soldiers have received rewards. The soldiers now do not believe in the marshal and the three princes.’

When the fifth prince heard this, he realized that it was not just a verbal promise. Even if it was said, she had no prisoners or baggage now, so he would give her a promise. He stepped forward and said: "It's simple. From now on, if you capture a prisoner, you will be rewarded with five taels of silver. If you capture a baggage that is enough for ten people, you will be rewarded with one tael of silver. If you win with less than three times more, you will reward the soldiers with a feast and the killing of chickens." Slaughtering sheep is naturally a no-brainer.”

When the deputy general heard this, he cursed in his heart, "This is not bad." Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the direction in which the prisoner was escaping.

No one could be seen at this moment.

I lamented in my heart: What a pity.

If he hadn't run far away, he could still catch him now, but forget it now
  Turn your head and glance to the other side.

He immediately turned his head and asked eagerly: "Does the fifth prince keep his word?"

When the fifth prince heard this, he snorted dissatisfiedly: "What are you saying, Lieutenant General? Could it be that I will lie to everyone in front of everyone?"

The corners of Xu Yihuan's mouth raised slightly: "Then please ask the fifth prince to reward King Jin for his contribution, so that everyone can believe that what the prince said is true."

After saying that, she raised her hand and pointed behind her. Everyone looked in the direction Xu Yihuan pointed. Ye Shang was coming with the captives who had just escaped.

"Please keep your promise, fifth prince," the deputy general shouted after him.

When the soldiers discovered that Ye Shang was carrying prisoners and luggage, they all turned to the fifth prince and said in unison: "Please keep your promise, fifth prince."

"Please the fifth prince keep your promise"

Inside and outside the camp, there were loud shouts of praise for Ye Shang.

The fifth prince turned pale and took two steps back. He did not expect that the prisoner who had just escaped would be caught by Yeshang again.

Then I thought about it again. Xu Yihuan had just released the prisoners and released the baggage so quickly and easily that he knew he had fallen into a trap.

King Pingzhang supported the fifth prince with a cold face: "Why are you so brave?"

The fifth prince frowned: "Fourth brother, I."

The sixth prince had always been timid. When he heard the soldiers becoming more and more excited to ask for merit, his face turned pale: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, think of a solution quickly."

King Pingzhang gritted his teeth: "What else can I think of?"

I knew in my heart: I was out of control.

be cheated.

The three of them looked at Xu Yihuan with dark faces. All of this was her conspiracy. This woman must not be left here.

Xu Yihuan met King Pingzhang's gaze, with a smile like a crescent moon. Everyone was waiting for the fifth prince to fulfill his promise.

King Pingzhang took a deep breath and raised his hand, and the surrounding area immediately became quiet.

"I naturally keep my word"

After saying that, he turned sideways and let the guards behind him come forward, passing Xu Yihuan's five hundred elite soldiers.

At this moment, Ye Shang had already brought the prisoners and luggage to the gate of the camp.

"Seeing King Jin, my subordinates were ordered by King Pingzhang to count the prisoners and baggage."

Ye Shang was stunned and nodded: "Go ahead."

But he was surprised in his heart. The morale of the soldiers in the camp was high. The three imperial brothers and Xu Yihuan were blocking the entrance of the camp. What happened?
  The deputy general came forward happily and said: "See you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you have captured the soldiers and baggage this time. King Pingzhang will discuss the merits and reward them."

Ye Shang's eyes glazed over for a moment, and he looked at Lieutenant General Du with a look of disbelief.

Vice General Du looked at Ye Shang's expression of disbelief and emphasized again, "It's true. I didn't lie to you."

Ye Shang got off his horse and walked to the camp gate in doubt: "Fourth brother, fifth brother and sixth brother, Miss Xu, why are you here?"

The fifth prince said "hum", rolled up his sleeves and entered the camp, followed closely by the fourth prince and the sixth prince.

Yeshang was puzzled for a moment, then turned to look at Xu Yihuan.

"Why were the prisoners released?"

Xu Yihuan looked at him with a smile on her face.

When he asked him to go back to where he was, was he asking him to capture the prisoners again and bring back the baggage again?

The deputy general came forward with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the officers and men can be rewarded based on their merits."

"All of this is due to Miss Xu."

He turned his head and glanced at Lieutenant General Du, and then cast his gaze at Xu Yihuan. Seeing Xu Yihuan's jaw slightly tilted, he asked with great joy:

"Marshal Xue agrees?"

Then he turned to look at the soldiers in the camp, and some soldiers shouted: "Please keep your promise, the fifth prince."

There are also many soldiers shouting: "Rewards based on merit"
