Chapter 50 Robbery
  King Pingzhang called Marshal Xue to the camp, and after retreating everyone, he said, "Has Marshal Xue forgotten the deal between my mother and you today?"

Marshal Xue knew that he would not be able to escape King Pingzhang's scolding today, so he simply crossed his hands in front of him and said with a scoundrel look on his face: "Of course I haven't forgotten, otherwise the guards would have rushed into the fifth prince's camp and killed you all" , or take away.

He didn't finish the rest of the words, but his face was still smiling, with no trace of acknowledgment.

King Pingzhang did not argue with him, and continued with a snort: "It's good that Marshal Xue knows. Next, I will hand over all military power to King Jin. When he captures Xiaocheng, I need you to help me with something."

Marshal Xue said in a loud voice, "I wonder what King Pingzhang wants me to do?" Marshal Xue got very angry when he thought of what bad ideas these three idiots were harboring at the moment.

It was nothing more than the deduction of military rations before, but when he thought about the fact that the guards had taken the advantage yesterday due to internal strife, and the 100,000-strong army was almost annihilated, Marshal Xue's face suddenly darkened.

The faces of the three princes became even more dissatisfied.

King Pingzhang didn't think so. He felt that the reason why he was able to repel the enemy army yesterday was because he delegated power and asked Marshal Xue to delegate power to King Jin. King Jin then had the military power to mobilize the army, and the guards retreated.

He didn't care about Marshal Xue giving military power to Yeshang, so he naturally didn't take Ye Shang's defeat of the guards seriously.

In his heart, Ye Shang was born to a lowly civilian noble concubine, so he naturally wanted to protect him, the legitimate son of a noble mother, with all his life.

He said: "King Jin will attack the city tomorrow. After Xiaocheng is captured, you lead a group of troops to rob the rich households in Xiaocheng. If you don't have one million taels, you won't come to see me. I will ask my sixth brother to Follow you into the city"

Marshal Xue's face darkened when he heard this. Xiaocheng had been besieged for nearly four months. The guard troops stationed 50,000 men and could not transport food and baggage. After such a robbery, Xiaocheng would become an abandoned city.

How is that different from the Guards?

"Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will be blamed for what King Pingzhang did?" Marshal Xue did not answer his words, but instead turned the conversation to His Majesty.

The Sixth Prince was trembling as he listened. He had never led an army before, let alone plundering. He didn't know what Fourth Brother An was thinking, but he actually asked him to lead an army to cooperate with Marshal Xue. Thinking of this, he secretly suppressed the fear in his heart. , continued to observe the two people.

The reason why His Majesty was willing to send troops to regain Xiaocheng was because of its geographical location.

Xiaocheng is located on the coast and is surrounded by mountains on both sides. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Most of the people in the city are engaged in trade and health, and are engaged in the border trade between David and Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, the people in Xiaocheng were so rich that they naturally paid more taxes and money than other cities.

If they were robbed by King Pingzhang and the people of Xiaocheng fled Xiaocheng and went to other cities, then the tax revenue of Xiaocheng would be lost.
  "Humph, you can't handle even small things. Don't forget, you promised to my mother," King Pingzhang said plausibly, with contempt and disdain in his tone.

When Marshal Xue heard this, he became even more angry: "Hey, what did King Pingzhang say? It's such a trivial matter. I can just send a hundred or so soldiers to the Sixth Prince. Wherever I need to go out personally, I will do it tomorrow." The city is under attack. I will take my leave first. I will ask Vice General Cui to send people to you later. Take your leave."

Marshal Xue left the camp angrily.

King Pingzhang had never been treated so rudely before. He was first threatened by Captain Xu, and then treated rudely by Marshal Xue. Seeing the situation getting worse and worse, he seemed to feel out of control.

"Fourth brother, what should we do? Marshal Xue doesn't listen to our orders at all now." The fifth prince frowned and was worried. He looked at his unable to move body and at this moment regretted provoking Xu Yihuan's two maids.

He couldn't eat mutton, and he was in trouble. If he were in Kyoto, no one would dare to say no to him.

The sixth prince was already timid, but seeing his two brothers being offended, and now that Xu Yihuan had stolen his money, he became even more anxious. The three of them thought more and more in the camp, and finally the fifth prince and Prince Heping Zhang were so angry that the wounds on their bodies split open. The sixth prince was so frightened that he ran to ask the military doctor to come over again.

The two men began to calm down and calm down their anger after the military doctors repeatedly warned them that if they didn't take good care of themselves, they might become disabled in the future.

However, the anger did not subside for two hours. The fourth prince started to look for trouble again and once again called Marshal Xue over. This time he was not doing something, but asking Marshal Xue to attack.

Marshal Xue was so angry that he fainted after leaving the camp.

Vice General Cui has been following Marshal Xue. After learning about this, he directly told Yeshang everything.

After hearing this, Ye Shang showed no reaction on his face, but Vice General Cui was surprised for a long time.

Xu Yihuan asked Vice General Cui to go back and sent two hundred sergeants to the Sixth Prince as requested by Marshal Xue.

When Vice Admiral Cui heard this, he was very happy. As long as this favor was given, these two people could not blame their uncle. As for what the three princes wanted to do, they just supported it.

"Do you really want them to rob you?" Ye Shang looked at Xu Yihuan with confusion.

Xu Yihuan curled her lips and said: "He must have the courage to grab it." Xu Yihuan is short of money. If he doesn't grab such a good opportunity, he will have to wait until when he has money.

Nowadays, she has a heavy appetite for Devil Fruits. After capturing Xiaocheng, she will return to Beijing, but she doesn’t know anyone there. She also has a bad idea in her heart, and wants to grab some for herself.

But when she thought about the possibility that the border city would be empty after Xiaocheng was robbed, she began to hesitate whether to rob it. But in her opinion, she had contributed a lot to the siege, and it was okay to grab some money, but she just couldn't accept it. Those three idiots had this idea.

So when Vice General Cui sent two hundred soldiers over, Xu Yihuan also sent two people over to keep an eye on them.

At night, the meal was eaten very late, and it was not until almost half past two o'clock that all the soldiers in the military camp had their meals, and many soldiers also received winter clothes.

Vice Admiral Du was very considerate. After he had the money, he waved his hand and asked the purchaser to buy the medicines needed for the wounded, and unified the wounded in the army who had not yet recovered for treatment.

The soldiers ate meat, roasted it on the fire, and wore winter clothes. They felt that it was the warmest day in the past three months.

With the presence of the deputy general, the soldiers and soldiers fell to the ground in even greater admiration. The enthusiastic voices of the soldiers outside the camp reached the fifth prince's camp, and they beat their chests and feet in anger.

It scared the doctor into a cold sweat. The doctor warned the two people again and again that if they didn't cherish themselves so much, even gods would be unable to save these two people.

When the two of them heard this, they were even more frightened, and then they secretly warned themselves not to get angry again.

The next day, Ye Shang and Xu Yihuan approached Xiaocheng with an army of 100,000, stationed five miles away from Xiaocheng, and sent out the agreed signal.

Antan, who was ambushing in Xiaocheng, took action as soon as he received the signal. In less than an hour, the gate of Xiaocheng was occupied by spies.
