Possessed by Luffy's fruit, I went crazy in ancient times

Chapter 34 Two thousand troops
  Yeshang raised his feet and was about to enter the tent when he heard Xu Yihuan's words. He paused and turned around and said, "Come in quickly."

Lieutenant General Du covered his mouth hurriedly: "Come in quickly."

Xu Yihuan panicked and followed Ye Shang into the camp.

Marshal Xue and the envoy were already seated at the top.

The fourth prince, fifth prince, and sixth prince are all in place.

Yeshang scanned the surroundings and found an empty seat to sit down without caring about the position.

"Marshal Xue, your majesty ordered the slave to give you an accurate message before he came here." The messenger smiled and caressed him gently, but people unconsciously felt a chill on his back.

Upon hearing this, Marshal Xue swallowed his saliva and turned to look at Ye Shang.

Yeshang looked pale and said nothing.

The other three princes all sat at the bottom with a high-spirited attitude as if it had nothing to do with them.

The envoy smiled when he saw this, and asked with malicious intent: "What does King Jin think?"

"Marshal Xue is the commander-in-chief of a hundred thousand troops. I don't know why the envoy asked me about a partial general." Ye Shang was holding back his anger. The three emperor brothers controlled the military expenses and rations. All the elite soldiers in the camp who could fight were now privately received. Wave it down, these words seem to be questions, but they are like reminders.

It seems to be asking: King Jin, when will you take your soldiers to die?

The envoy was choked by King Jin, and his expression froze for a moment, and he turned to look at the three princes sitting down.

The three of them all turned to look at Yeshang, seemingly shocked by Yeshang's straightforward words.

Ye Shang's eyes were fixed and he met Marshal Xue's gaze.

Marshal Xue was startled, then turned to the envoy and said, "Oh, I will discuss this matter with the King of Jin. Why don't you ask the envoy to go down and rest first?" Marshal Xue said with a polite face.

Upon hearing this, the messenger was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, nodded and led the two attendants out of the camp.

After the people walked away, the fourth prince stood up suddenly: "Second brother, what do you mean?"

Yeshang glanced at him sideways: "I wonder what the fourth brother means?"

King Pingzhang pointed at him and said angrily: "Okay, okay, if you don't go to fight, just wait for me."

Xu Yihuan stood behind Ye Shang and was confused, but she also heard that King Pingzhang was looking for trouble. He raised his hand and punched King Pingzhang, his movements feinting as fast as lightning.

"Ouch!" King Pingzhang covered his nose, rubbed his hind legs, and fell back into the chair.

The fifth prince and the sixth prince came to their senses in a daze, "Hey"

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?"

The three brothers had been quarreling over sleepwalking the day before. Now they heard the shouts of King Pingzhang and were surprisingly unanimous in their concern. The three brothers seemed to vaguely feel the situation of sleepwalking being beaten that day.

The fifth prince stared at King Pingzhang, then turned to look at Yeshang, only to see him sitting motionless in his chair.

"Who?" the fifth prince shouted, looking around suspiciously.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, what's wrong with you?" The sixth prince frowned when he saw that King Pingzhang was still covering his nose in pain, his palms were stained with nosebleeds.

Marshal Xue also became surprised. He looked around and found no one.

"this?"

The expressions of the four people suddenly changed: "Who is King Pingzhang?"

"Mischief?"

"It's very possible." Xu Yihuan echoed behind him. This was not the first time that Lieutenant General Du had seen Xu Yihuan take action. At this moment, he was holding back the corner of his mouth and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Marshal Xue stopped looking at King Pingzhang and sighed: "What does King Jin think? How long will it take for Xiaocheng to be recovered?"

He turned to look at the three princes, and then turned his attention to Yeshang. If he wanted to take back Xiaocheng, he could only rely on King Jin. As for the three princes, he snorted coldly in his heart: Dreaming. "What are you saying, Marshal? The King of Jin only has a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people in his hands. How can they compare to the 70,000 elite soldiers in the hands of the Marshal? Naturally, the Marshal has the final say."

A smile appeared on Xu Yihuan's lips. We can't let a group of old, weak, sick and disabled go to war.

Marshal Xue and the three princes had ulterior motives, and now she saw it. Marshal Xue seemed to be asking Yeshang, but in fact he wanted him to go to war. After defeating the soldiers in his hands, he would send out troops again. profit.

Finally, when the master returns to the court, he can monopolize the military glory in his own name, and Yeshang will naturally become the scapegoat for regaining the lost territory.

"What did Lieutenant Xu say?" Marshal Xue retorted and looked up at Xu Yihuan. Thinking of the terrain map Xu Yihuan held in his hand yesterday, his confidence weakened again.

King Pingzhang got punched for no reason. At this moment, he couldn't find the other person to vent his anger. "If I tell you to go, you can go. How can there be so much nonsense?" He was very angry.

"Okay, then please ask King Pingzhang to allocate military rations and military expenses. When we come back with meritorious service, remember to reward us as agreed yesterday."

Lieutenant General Du was at the side, the flesh of his cheek was almost touching his ear, but he didn't make a sound.

The fifth prince was not to be outdone and said: "I have already asked people to give you food and grass. If you don't go to war, you will know that you need money and food."

"What do you mean by the fifth prince? Oh, I understand. Someone in the army must have embezzled the army's food and salary, so the soldiers only have one meal to eat every day. Fifth prince, you have to check it carefully. Soldiers these days I'm so hungry and thin, I don't have much energy to fight."

When Lieutenant General Du heard this, he couldn't help but admire him. Only Captain Xu dared to say this.

The fifth prince felt guilty and was speechless.

"you"

Marshal Xue saw that Ye Shang was silent and knew that he must be angry at this moment, so he once again tried to persuade him to make peace: "Everyone came to the border to fight, all to protect the country of the Jin Dynasty, and more importantly, to earn a share of military merit and go back to shine on the lintel. I also hope that everyone will put the overall situation first.”

Ye Shang felt something in his heart. He knew what Marshal Xue meant, but he still sat still.

If the soldiers no longer have enough rations, they may go to Xiaocheng, where more than 20,000 of his men must be handed over.

Although he wanted to make military exploits and go back to rescue his mother and concubine, he could not ignore the lives of more than 20,000 soldiers.

"Let's do this. I'll give you two more days of rations and deploy 3,000 elite troops to you. We'll reply to the envoy and take back Xiaocheng within a month. What does King Jin think?" Marshal Xue finished speaking plausibly and turned to Wu. The prince cast his gaze away.

The fifth prince replied with a cold face: "I agree with this matter."

He glanced at Yeshang hatefully again: "I'm taking advantage of you."

When Xu Yihuan heard this, he was unconvinced and said: "May I ask, Marshal, how many people are there in David's garrison in Xiaocheng? You gave 3,000 elite soldiers, so what are the baggage and food supplies? It won't be the same as before. And thick rice porridge”

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince immediately interjected: "Xu Xiaowei, you have talked too much today. When will it be your turn as a little captain to speak here?"

Ye Shang frowned and rarely managed to say a word: "Then why is the sixth brother standing here? He is just a centurion leading more than a hundred soldiers."

The Sixth Prince's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and his face turned pale.

Among so many people, he has the fewest soldiers and does the least work. It should be said that the one hundred soldiers under him have nothing to do at all, they are just on his head in name.

When everyone heard this, they realized that this was really the case. Even the corners of Marshal Xue's mouth secretly raised, and then they quietly suppressed it.

"Okay, David is just a small country, and an army of fifty thousand can flatten it. Why do you ask so many questions? Then it's settled, two thousand elite soldiers, plus two days of food supplies."

After saying that, Marshal Xue walked out of the camp without looking back, leaving Ye Shang and the three princes looking at each other angrily.

The deputy general suddenly came out from behind, raised his hands to the three princes and said: "Please also ask the fifth prince to give me military rations."

Xu Yihuan looked confused. Is this the end?

Haven't bargained yet? Three thousand elite soldiers turned into two thousand?
  It’s not clear how many troops David will garrison. Is this the attitude of the discussion?

The fist in Ye Shang's hand tightened and loosened, and then he stood up after loosening and tightening twice: "Vice-General Du will make a handover with the fifth prince. After getting the food, he will return to the camp to discuss the siege." After saying that, he raised his hand. He grabbed Xu Yihuan and led Xu Yihuan out of the camp.
