Chapter 27 Settlement of Accounts
  Soon, the guards finished counting the prisoners.

The guard announced the number of prisoners and baggage at the door.

After hearing this, all the soldiers began to cheer.

The three princes who had not gone far were angry and angry, and the fourth prince even more angrily said: "Come here, as I said just now, reward the people of King Jin for their merits."

When the fifth prince and the sixth prince heard this, they felt sad again, and their expressions became even darker.

"Fourth brother, didn't you say that this matter is foolproof? What should we do now?" The fifth prince said impatiently in Prince Pingzhang's ear, but he did not dare to say it openly.

When King Pingzhang heard this, he glared at him fiercely and walked straight to Marshal Xue's camp.

When he thought about the need to reward based on merit as mentioned by his fifth brother in the future, his heart became even more painful.

When the soldiers in the camp heard this, they cheered even louder.

Usually, they can only eat whole grains for meals. There has been no war recently, and they can only eat one meal a day. At this moment, everyone saw that King Jin had received the reward, and the resentment in their hearts gradually subsided.

"Reward based on merit"

"Reward based on merit"

The shouts once again spread around the camp.

Yeshang stood at the gate of the camp, feeling extremely happy in his heart. In the past three months, every time he faced the soldiers below, he always felt guilty. Now it's better. The soldiers fought bravely and were rewarded according to their merits. He It will be more convenient to lead troops to regain lost territory.

The guard took out a piece of reward material from the camp. Ye Shang took a look at it and his brows widened.

Yeshang glanced at the list of rewards, turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Soldiers, tomorrow we will reward all the soldiers who have made meritorious service."

He turned his head and said to the lieutenant beside him: "Go back first and tell the soldiers under our banner that we will reward you tomorrow."

After three months of hard work, I was released at this moment.

Xu Yihuan looked at Yeshang with satisfaction, and then remembered what Deputy General Du told him on the way back. In the past few months, most of the military expenses had been embezzled by the three princes.

He is also a prince, why doesn't he have this power?
  Thinking of this, she turned around and asked the deputy general to take the soldiers to rest, and walked towards the marshal's tent.

-

Marshal's tent.

When Marshal Xue heard the shouts outside the tent, he knew that Xu Yihuan had won.

The purpose of giving rewards based on merit is that the general should fight for the interests of the soldiers. However, because the three princes are all sons of the queen, as soon as they arrived at the border, the three princes took away the military expenses and food from the camp for various reasons. , baggage management rights, and he was deeply threatened by the queen, and he did not dare to openly confront them.
  When he thought that military expenditure, food and logistics were still in the hands of three idiot princes, his heart ached terribly.

"Uncle, uncle" Vice General Cui ran in from outside the camp in a panic.

"They're here again," Vice General Cui whispered in Marshal Xue's ear, then stood aside obediently.

"Yeah," Marshal Xue said, but there was no change in his face.

Vice General Cui looked at his uncle's face and the tea cup in his hand. He was sure that his uncle had regained his composure at this moment, and he knew that he was well prepared for this matter.

"Old man Xue" the fourth prince started shouting before he entered the camp.

He raised his feet and rushed into the tent.

All three of them stared at Marshal Xue.

When the fifth prince thought about the silver coins and grains he had just carried out, his heart ached violently. They had all been earned through hard work in the past few months.

The sixth prince was a little timid and stood aside without daring to speak. Usually, King Pingzhang and the fifth prince asked for these things from Marshal Xue, and he just followed behind to take advantage.

Marshal Xue raised his eyes and glanced at King Pingzhang, sat up straight, and did not get up to salute as usual. He continued to refill himself a cup of tea and turned to look at the sand table.

After this incident, the morale of the 100,000-strong army rose sharply, and he must take this opportunity to capture the city occupied by David.

They have been besieging Xiaocheng for three months.

Xiaocheng is the most prosperous border town in the Jin Dynasty, adjacent to David. The two countries use Xiaocheng to conduct border trade. In recent years, Xiaocheng has become more prosperous due to border trade.

Half a year ago, David focused on Xiaocheng, sent troops to occupy Xiaocheng, burned, killed, and looted the people in the city, turning the people in Xiaocheng into slaves of David, and robbed the people of Xiaocheng of their financial information. The Great Jin Dynasty Local taxes were directly reduced by 10%.

After His Majesty found out, he directly ordered his troops to go to Xiaocheng to regain the lost ground.

King Pingzhang saw Marshal Xue ignoring his anger and began to yell, "Old man Xue, I'm talking to you, what's your attitude?"

The fifth prince stepped forward, snatched the tea cup from Marshal Xue's hand, and threw it to the ground.

With a "Pia" sound, the teacup broke again.

Vice General Cui stood aside, his eyelashes trembling, and the knife in his hand tightened a little.

Marshal Xue glanced at the fifth prince expressionlessly: "The fifth prince is a nobleman of the emperor, so naturally he uses gold, silver and jade, but this set of teacups by me is also valuable. When will the fifth prince pay for it?"

The fifth prince frowned, with disdain in his eyes: "Just for your broken teacup, I can take out hundreds of them in my house at will. You need to pay for it. When you return to Kyoto, I will give you ten sets and eight sets."

Marshal Xue grinned and said, "The fifth prince is so generous. This set of teacups was given to me by the late emperor. I didn't know that there were so many belongings of the late emperor in the fifth prince's house."

Upon hearing this, the fifth prince lowered his eyes and glanced at the fragments on the ground. He panicked and choked speechlessly.

The last time the tea cup was broken, he said it was a gift from the late emperor. It would be disrespectful to break a gift from the late emperor.

He turned to look at the Fourth Prince for help.

"Marshal Xue doesn't have to be so hard on my fifth brother. I just want to ask you, do you care about this Jin Dynasty's 100,000-strong army?"

He had calculated carefully just now and found that Ye Shang's small battle had already cost him six thousand taels of silver.

Originally, the three of them followed Marshal Xue to the border to collect military expenses. They were divided equally among the three of them. There was not much silver left, and he felt heartbroken for the six thousand taels. "Isn't what I said clear enough?" Marshal Xue looked at the idiot prince with cold eyes.

He doesn't know how to get things done, but he is first-rate in grabbing power and greed for money.

He clung to military expenditures and rations, and threatened him with retiring and returning to his hometown. He wanted to take care of it, but how could he take care of it without money or food.

On the other hand, Ye Shang, although he received the lowest rations, the soldiers he led were the most powerful, and he had his own way of subduing the soldiers. He could endure and fight.
  "If the princes have nothing to do, please go out first," Marshal Xue said in a cold tone, staring at the sand table without raising his head.

King Pingzhang threatened: "Hmph, just wait for me." He waved his sleeves again and walked out of the tent.

There was no change on Marshal Xue's face. He had heard these words too many times these days.

After a while.

Vice General Cui tiptoed close to Marshal Xue: "Uncle is mighty."

"These three little bastards can do nothing but say wait for me."

After saying that, he looked towards the camp entrance to see if there was anyone there.

He looked again and again, and when he looked, he saw Xu Yihuan standing at the door looking at him.

He shook immediately and said with a sad face:

"Uncle Captain Xu is here." He leaned against Marshal Xue with a guilty conscience.

Marshal Xue stiffened and turned to look at the door. Xu Yihuan was staring coldly at Vice Admiral Cui.

He instantly understood that she was here to settle a score with him.

Xu Yihuan handed over his hand and said, "I have seen the marshal before."

Marshal Xue took a breath and continued to stare at the sand table, pretending not to know, and asked suspiciously: "Is there something wrong with Lieutenant Xu?"

Xu Yihuan was too lazy to fight with Marshal Xue and said, "My subordinates are here to catch those who collaborate with the enemy and treason."

Marshal Xue was startled by the movement of his hand: "Collaboration with the enemy and treason." He suddenly turned his head and glanced at Vice General Cui.

He turned to look at Xu Yihuan doubtfully, "Did Colonel Xu make a mistake?" and then looked at Vice General Cui's reaction.

At this moment, his face looked guilty, and his body was curled up against him.

"you"

Marshal Xue frowned, turned around, and picked up the whip on the table.

When Lieutenant Cui realized something was wrong, he ran towards the door in panic, passing by Xu Yihuan's body to escape from the tent.

Xu Yihuan looked calm and let him run three steps away. Without looking back, she stretched out her right arm from the devil fruit, grabbed hold of Vice Admiral Cui's shoulder and pulled him back.

"Ouch!" Vice General Cui was pulled back by her and fell into the tent.

Marshal Xue saw Xu Yihuan's actions, his expression darkened, he pointed at her with a trembling whip and asked: 'You, who are you? ’

How could the body of the Taifu's daughter be different from that of ordinary people?

Like everyone else, his first reaction was: Xu Yihuan is a monster.

"Who am I?" Xu Yihuan sneered. Shouldn't he ask why Vice General Cui collaborated with the enemy and treason?
  "Shouldn't Marshal Xue ask why I am here?" Xu Yihuan walked slowly, raised his foot and stepped on Vice General Cui's chest.

Use slight force.

"Cough cough cough cough" Vice General Cui was stepped on by Xu Yihuan until he couldn't breathe, with a painful expression on his face.

Marshal Xue's face turned green, and he hurriedly stepped forward and begged, "Xu Xiaowei, if you have something to say, please say it carefully. Say it carefully."

He made a gesture and asked her to show mercy.

Xu Yihuan sneered, but the strength on his feet did not relax even a little bit: "I wonder if Marshal Xue thought about showing mercy when he sent people to kill me?"

She is not a Virgin, and she wants to make anyone who has bullied her pay the price.

Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?

It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, right?
  None of this suits her. All she wants is to be free and free in the moment.

Marshal Xue suddenly knelt down and begged with both hands, "Please Captain Xu spare my nephew."

Xu Yihuan was startled, but she was able to bend and stretch.

"Uncle," Vice General Cui suppressed the pain in his chest and squeezed out two words from his chest.

Xu Yihuan let go of his feet.

Vice General Cui suddenly turned over and coughed heavily.

Marshal Xue took a look and hurriedly said, "Thank you Captain Xu." He knelt down and helped Vice General Cui up.

Vice General Cui was still in shock. He kicked his feet in fear and stepped back.

Marshal Xue looked relieved in surprise.

"Marshal Xue doesn't think this is the end of the matter, right?" She glanced coldly at Vice General Cui. The moment their eyes met, Vice General Cui's body trembled again.

Marshal Xue's mouth twitched: "Naturally, naturally"
