Chapter 73 Ready to set off
  Yeshang also received the news.

The news that the three princes were thrown out of the inn just turned his ears. When he heard the news, the corners of his face were raised.

It felt like I was out of breath.

I was relieved when I heard that Marshal Xue had brought the three people back to the camp.

Although the three of them were idiots, he still had no choice but to threaten his mother and concubine with their lives.

In recent days, spies have received news that the mother-in-law and concubine in Kyoto have been released from confinement and are not in good health now.

He didn't know if his cousin had gone to the palace to visit his mother and concubine recently, but he still spent a lot of time trying to find out the news.

The thought of Banshi being able to see his mother and concubine after returning to court made Ye Shang want to fly back to Kyoto. Over the years, he and his mother and concubine had been together less and less.

Since he joined the army, the opportunities to serve his mother and concubine have become even rarer.

Vice Admiral Du laughed. He thought it would take another half a month before he could go back, but after hearing that the three princes were thrown out of the inn, the string in his heart was loosened.

The army has food and grass but no military expenses. The three princes have spent their last ten thousand taels. Now their pockets are empty. The three of them are like grasshoppers after autumn, unable to jump no matter how hard they jump.

Not only the deputy generals, but also the soldiers in the Jin army camp heard the news that the three princes were thrown out of the inn, and they all secretly talked behind their backs about when they would return to the court.

These soldiers were sent to Xiaocheng four months ago. They expected to experience several rounds of vicious fighting, but they did not expect that the King of Jin captured Xiaocheng in just a few blows.

I also heard that it was because Xu Xiaowei led his people to infiltrate Xiaocheng in advance, and this was how they succeeded in taking down Xiaocheng effortlessly by cooperating inside and outside.

The soldiers were in a good mood for more than ten days in a row. First, Colonel Xu and King Jin obtained military funds and bought enough military rations for the soldiers.

Later, Captain Xu hired a doctor for the soldiers. Recently, everyone in the army was given winter clothes.

The soldiers had food, drink, and winter clothes to wear. Now they all regarded King Jin and Lieutenant Xu as their great benefactors. So when faced with the news that the three princes were thrown out of the inn, everyone had only one thought in their minds: Beat them. good.

Marshal Xue just took over the military power from Yeshang, and most of the soldiers have been stationed in the camp in the past few days, but the atmosphere is very different from before.

In front of Ye Shang's command, the soldiers were constantly cursing every day, either for lack of food or lack of clothes, and some for the poor food in the army.

There were countless soldiers who secretly scolded him.

But after he took over the military power from Yeshang, the soldiers stopped scolding and became more energetic. They didn't even ask him for military pay. After asking about it, they found out that Yeshang had given half a month's worth of military rations in advance. Gave it to the soldiers.

Now the soldiers in the army are grateful to Yeshang and Lieutenant Xu.

He is nominally in charge of this 100,000-strong army, but in fact the soldiers' hearts are with Yeshang, and even the supportive nurses and soldiers led by Captain Xu are better than him as the marshal.

Marshal Xue didn't like it at all. He felt relieved thinking that Xu Xiaowei had boldly beaten the three princes and offended the three princes to gain so much support.

As for the dead soldiers in the prison camp, according to the rules, the one hundred dead soldiers who were killed in duels in the prison camp should be Gui Ye Shangguan.

However, Marshal Xue was also jealous. Those were 100 dead soldiers, and he wanted them too. The two countries of Jin and Wei originally had the same ancestor. It was only because His Majesty and his brother turned against each other that the Wei Kingdom was divided.

The Wei State and the Jin State came from the same line as the Wei State. The two systems were similar and the kings had similar temperaments.

They are all people who will do anything for their own interests.

Now, both monarchs have lost their hearts, and many ministers have tamed many dead soldiers in order to consolidate their own interests and protect their families.

Among them, the dead soldiers, especially the dead soldiers selected in duels, are the most useful.

The monarchs of the two countries issued the same order. If a prisoner captured by the enemy country escaped and returned again, what awaited him was that his whole family would be killed.

Because whether they were prisoners of the Guards or the Jin Army, the prisoners of the two countries were surprisingly consistent in making amazing moves in the arena in order to survive. These dead soldiers will eventually join the leading general and become his private soldiers, who will be adopted by the leading general.

But what he didn't know at this moment was that Lieutenant General Du had ordered someone to take care of him and was returning to Ye Shang:
  "Your Majesty, all the prisoner camps have been assembled, and the dead soldiers have been selected." Lieutenant General Du calmed down. These 100 dead soldiers were selected from the -strong army and will be the prince's right-hand man in the future.

Not to mention the horror of the killing of 100 people, just the fact that these people persisted for three days and were still alive shocked him.

Ye Shang paused and said: "First let someone take him down to rest, and then borrow Captain Xu's order to lead someone to dig a hole and bury the bodies of the guards prisoners."

"Yes"

The deputy general was very happy. With these 100 dead men, the prince's difficulties on his way back to Beijing would be reduced a lot.

He also admired the prince's kindness. Logically speaking, these 50,000 guards died in the duel and were not qualified to be buried in peace.

However, every time his prince won a battle over the years, he would give basic respect to the prisoners.

After every battle, the prince would order people to dig holes and bury people, although this matter seemed unnecessary to other generals.

But under the command of King Jin, it has long been accustomed to it.

Many soldiers also followed the prince because they saw his kindness.

For example, those hidden guards who like to climb rooftops.

After the deputy general received the order, he led his people to find Xu Yihuan, took the order, and went to mobilize the troops.

Although the King of Jin was deprived of military power, Captain Xu's order was still there.

After returning to the base camp, Lieutenant General Du showed Captain Xu's warrant. In addition to the soldiers under Captain Xu, many other soldiers also took the initiative to ask for help digging holes.

Although they had indeed seen a lot of bloody scenes in the past few days, their hearts warmed when they thought that Colonel Xu would start sending them food, buying winter clothes, and hiring doctors as soon as he received the military funds.

When I saw Lieutenant Xu's order, I didn't think it was a big deal to help dig a hole.

The soldiers organized their manpower into groups and followed directly behind the deputy general's leader.

When we arrived at the prisoner camp, we started digging holes directly outside.

The one hundred surviving dead soldiers began to shed tears when they saw the Jin army treating the dead prisoners so kindly.

The cold heart that was originally fighting in the duel field screamed out in pain after seeing the Jin soldiers burying the bodies of the guards.

-

As soon as Xu Yihuan received the news, she began to prepare for returning to Kyoto. In the past few days, she had often been with Magistrate Liu, and often heard him boast about Xiaocheng. Only then did she know that Xiaocheng was the richest county in Jin.

Even Kyoto, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, was not as good as Xiaocheng. Therefore, she had been wandering on the streets for the past two days, wanting to buy more things for the trip in case she ran out of things along the way.

After all, there isn’t even takeout here.

When she thought of this, she wanted to propose to County Magistrate Liu to set up a takeout business in Xiaocheng, but Xu Yihuan gave up when she thought that there was no internet here.

She took Xiaochun wandering around the street, wandering around all morning without thinking about what to buy.

Until I met Magistrate Liu on the road.
