Chapter 51 A great victory
  When the secret guard sent a signal on the city wall, the entire Jin army except a part of them led by Xu Yihuan and Ye Shang, the rest were kept in the dark.

Ye Shang gave an order and led five thousand of the most elite troops straight to the gate of Xiaocheng. Although the soldiers looked confused, seeing the King of Jin leading the charge straight to the gate of Xiaocheng, the people behind him followed suit. In the past, when Ye Shang approached the city gate, the spy opened the door from under the city gate.

Xiaocheng soldiers always thought that the city was too high to be captured, so when Ye Shang was about to rush to the city gate, he still looked confident.

It wasn't until the city gate was opened that the guards who were guarding the city with the spies noticed something was wrong until Yeshang's men rushed to the gate of Xiaocheng.

By the time the Guards reacted, it was already too late.

"You are not allowed to plunder the people. Those who abandon their weapons and surrender will not be killed. Those who resist desperately will be killed without mercy." Ye Shang rushed into the city gate and shouted, and then ordered people to rush straight to the Xiaocheng County Government House.

When the people of Xiaocheng heard that the Jin army rushed in, they closed their doors and only dared to secretly observe the situation outside through the cracks in the door.

They have been trapped in the city for nearly four months, and their homes have long been short of rice and food.

Many people have already begun to chew the bark.

There have been sporadic cases of starvation to death on the streets.

Fu Kang, the guard general of Xiaocheng of the Wei Army, is currently discussing matters with the generals in his mansion.

Everyone is still immersed in the fight with the Jin army yesterday and has not been able to let go.

In this sneak attack, the Guards lost one-third of their elite troops, all of which were attributed to Xu Yihuan.

The guardsmen were impressed by Xu Yihuan's amazing strength, and were frightened by Xu Yihuan's bravery in facing many enemies. All the generals believed that having such a person in the Jin army was a major threat to David.

More than a dozen generals were still discussing how to kill Xu Yihuan secretly.

But he didn't expect that Ye Shang led five thousand soldiers directly to the door of Xiaocheng's mansion.

When the guard at the door saw Yeshang coming on horseback, he thought he was dazzled. When Ye Shang was approaching the door, the guard was so frightened that he rushed into the house to report.

Fukang and the soldiers looked worried. When they heard that the guard came to report that the Jin army had entered the city, Fukang thought that the guard had been bribed by the Jin army and ran in to frame him.

When he came to his senses and was about to rush out and fight Ye Shanglai for three hundred rounds, Ye Shang led his men directly into the mansion and captured Fukang alive.

Since then, Xiaocheng has been recovered by Yeshang.

Xiaocheng's fifty thousand guards were taken prisoner by Yeshang and commanded.

When the Sixth Prince led his troops out from Yeshang, he ordered his people to keep an eye on the situation in Xiaocheng. When the spies reported back, Yeshang had already captured Xiaocheng and captured 50,000 Xiaocheng soldiers without any effort.

He shuddered in his heart.

"Second brother, you are truly a god." He said with admiration, but in his heart he was too frightened to move.

I had long heard that the second brother was brave and good at fighting and was the God of War in the Jin Dynasty. The soldiers who had agreed to rob him yesterday were standing at the door. When they saw the pale-faced Sixth Prince, he asked in fear: "Sixth Prince" Prince, are we still going?"

The sixth prince's face turned pale, and his legs were shaking so badly that he still dared to move forward.

Although he didn't know how Ye Shang captured Xiao City, he was even more frightened when he heard that Ye Shang captured Xiao City effortlessly.

Thinking that the robbery had failed, the sixth prince hurriedly ran out of the camp and headed straight for the fifth prince's camp.

At the door of the fifth prince, he happened to meet Marshal Xue who came to see the fifth prince. The sixth prince didn't bother to talk to Marshal Xue and rushed in directly to talk about the matter.

When King Pingzhang and the fifth prince heard this, their faces turned pale. Marshal Xue and Vice Admiral Cui came here to talk about the matter, but they also guessed that the Sixth Prince was timid by nature and could not blatantly rob a rich man behind Ye Shang's back, so they simply stood outside the camp for half a quarter of an hour before ordering anyone. Go in and report.

The three princes first thought grimly in the camp about not being able to get the money after returning to Kyoto. Then when they heard Marshal Xue coming, they became even more irritated with Marshal Xue.

He simply asked them to leave the two of them outside the tent.

Marshal Xue and Vice Admiral Cui were not angry either. They just stood obediently outside the camp for another hour before being called in.

Marshal Xue just pretended that he didn't know that these three people were angry at this moment. As soon as he entered the camp, he said with a smile: "King Jin has captured Xiaocheng. Congratulations to your three highnesses."

The room was still filled with a strong smell of herbs. Marshal Xue looked at the three of them and gave him a cold look without saying a word.

He didn't feel embarrassed, so he just talked to himself.

"The King of Jin's capture of Xiaocheng this time must be attributed to the efforts of three His Highnesses. If the three Highnesses had not given money to others, how could King Jin have conquered Xiaocheng?"

He paused and found that the three princes did not respond again, and continued: "Xiao City has been captured, and I have already thought about it. The greatest credit for the capture of Xiao City belongs to the three princes."

The three of them looked stunned and stared at Marshal Xue in surprise.

Marshal Xue's old face jumped up and he said with a smile: "I have already written a letter to thank the three princes. I just ordered someone to rush to Kyoto for 800 miles. I believe that your majesty will get the news soon."

The sixth prince was in good health. When he heard that he was asking for credit, the melancholy on his face was instantly wiped away: "Really?"

The two princes lying on the bed breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Marshal Xue's move undoubtedly solved a major problem for the three of them.

Although the reward from His Majesty has not yet arrived, it must be a considerable reward. If the three of them get this reward, it may solve their urgent need.

"So, thank you Marshal Xue." King Pingzhang looked happy and his tone became much gentler.

Marshal Xue waved his hand and said with a smile: "King Pingzhang is too polite. This matter is my responsibility."

After speaking, he paused and bowed to say goodbye.

"Fourth brother, this Marshal Xue clearly wants to exchange for our forgiveness." The fifth prince was indignant. Only now did he understand that this Marshal Xue was obviously helping them, but in fact he was helping himself.

He neither wanted to offend King Jin nor the three princes.

So these days, he has been fighting with them. Now, seeing Xiaocheng being captured, the army is about to return to the court. He suddenly made such a move. Isn't it just to please them?

"It doesn't matter, if he wants the land, I will ask the Queen Mother to give it to him." King Pingzhang's expression suddenly turned cold, and he had a faint feeling that the matter was not good yet.

"Well, then you have given him such an advantage. He has not taken us seriously recently." The fifth prince was still angry at this moment.

If he hadn't been unwilling to accompany his sixth brother during the robbery, they wouldn't have had this problem.

It's not just one million taels of silver, but Marshal Xue is too afraid to go. When he thinks of it, he wants to throw Marshal Xue into a pit and bury him alive.

"There will be a chance," King Pingzhang said with a cold face, and raised his hand slightly to see if he could move it.

Today, the swelling on his body has gone away a lot, and his mind has become clearer. At this moment, his mind is no longer as chaotic as yesterday.
