Chapter 25 Making trouble
  Marshal Xue had a cold face and did not answer. He turned to look at the three princes. The military expenses had been almost divided among these three men, so there was no money left to reward the soldiers.

The fourth prince knew what he meant and turned his head as if he couldn't see him.

"Marshal, many soldiers in the camp are also making trouble, saying that they also want to reward them," another guard said.

Two guards were kneeling at the door, unaware of the situation inside.

But there was only a "bang" sound and the sound of the teacup being smashed.

"Hmph, everyone deserves a reward for winning a small battle. Did her family run this Jin army?" The fifth prince suddenly became angry.

He was in charge of the army's money and food. After a rough calculation, he felt uncomfortable when he thought that the money he had just put into his pocket would be taken out.

"Report to the marshal, there is a riot among the soldiers in another part of the camp, and they also want to be rewarded."

Soon, four or five more guards arrived, all coming to inform the soldiers of the commotion and to reward them.

Marshal Xue was frightened when he heard this in the tent, but he still pretended to be calm and composed on his face.

The three princes could not sit still at this moment and took shelter in the camp.

"How to do?"

"Fourth brother, these lowly soldiers are asking for everything they need to fight a war. On weekdays, the army is not satisfied with food and drink." The fifth prince muttered angrily.

The Sixth Prince was even more angry. His face was filled with anger, and his fists were pounding the table.

Vice General Cui watched clearly from the sidelines. Every time the Sixth Prince patted him, his eyelashes fluttered in fear, and his face was full of surprise.

Marshal Xue felt a sharp pain in his heart as he listened to the unbearable complaints of the three princes.

Why did he listen to the queen and bring these idiots to the border?

If the army of one hundred thousand soldiers continues like this, I am afraid that sooner or later it will be in the hands of these three people.

At that time, let alone retiring and returning home, whether Da Jin was still there or not was another matter.

"Marshal Xue, are you just going to sit back and do nothing?" The fourth prince has not yet realized his problem, and at this moment he is still thinking of forcing the marshal.

As long as he is willing to come forward, he is afraid that the soldiers will be disobedient.

If you are disobedient, you will become obedient by killing a few people.

Marshal Xue spread his hands with a calm expression: "Care? How to care? Since these 100,000 troops came here, aren't you the only ones in charge?"

Although he seemed indifferent on the surface at this moment, he was panicking in his heart.

The fourth prince became angry when he heard this: "Old man Xue, let me tell you, you are just a dog of my Ye family. If you don't go out now, after I suppress it, I will immediately tell my father to strip you of your military power."

When Marshal Xue heard this, he was delighted. The straw bag was indeed a straw bag.

"The fourth prince is a noble nobleman of the emperor. Naturally, he cannot be compared with me. I think the fourth prince has thought of a way at this moment, so please give me a favor." After Marshal Xue finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation with a faint expression on his face. He didn't want to at all. Go take care of this matter.

The fourth prince let out an angry "hum" and took his two younger brothers out of the camp, heading straight for the camp gate.

Marshal Xue watched the fourth prince go out and continued to sit down, pouring himself a cup of tea, his hands trembling so hard that he couldn't hold the cup.

Vice General Cui looked on and was frightened, and asked quickly: "Uncle, the fourth prince is here." Although he didn't understand military affairs, he was afraid that Xu Yihuan would be rewarded if he passed through the camp gate, and he would be unable to suppress it anymore. .

In the past few months, all military expenses have been pocketed by these three princes. The soldiers have already complained, just because it is the prince who cannot speak out. Now, Xu Yihuan's publicity about the reward at the camp gate has directly aroused the anger in these people's hearts.

The three princes didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter. If those people killed people in anger, would they and their uncle still have their heads hanging around their necks?
  Marshal Xue paused, held his breath and picked up the teacup. With his old, calloused hands, he picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

"Leave it to fate"

-

Xu Yihuan faced the soldiers behind him at the camp gate, motivating him back and forth.

At first, only five hundred elite soldiers outside the camp followed her and shouted: "Rewards will be given based on merit."

After shouting vigorously, the soldiers in the camp suddenly joined Xu Yihuan's team.

With the participation of some soldiers, the soldiers everywhere in the camp were encouraged by each other like chicken blood.

In less than half a cup of tea, shouts from inside and outside the camp: "Rewards based on merit" resounded throughout the entire camp.

Even the guards guarding the gate of the camp joined in the fun.

When the fourth prince and the fifth and sixth princes came out of Marshal Xue's tent, they happened to see the soldiers shouting loudly everywhere, but they didn't take it seriously.

He still came out of the camp arrogantly, ignoring all the soldiers' requests.

The deputy general looked at all this in a daze, his heart already filled with enthusiasm, and he lost himself in the shouts of the soldiers.

"Vice-General Du, Vice-General Xu." Xu Yihuan and Vice-General Du suddenly felt someone patting their horses. When they turned around, they saw three princes standing at the gate of the camp with disdain on their faces, looking at them with contempt in their eyes. Prisoners and baggage outside the camp.

She turned back and raised her hand forward.

The soldiers in front stopped shouting.

Xu Yihuan and the deputy general dismounted with smiles on their faces: "See the fourth prince, fifth prince, and sixth prince."

The fourth prince looked at Xu Yihuan with a stinky face and asked, "Xu Xiaowei, what are you doing?" He pointed at the soldiers in front of him.

Xu Yi said with a smile: "My lord, don't you congratulate me? My subordinates intercepted the enemy's baggage and captured 1,500 prisoners. We defeated many with less. I want to take credit for my 500 soldiers, can't I?"

The fourth prince choked on his words and whispered with an uncomfortable expression: "Xu Xiaowei led his troops to kill the enemy. I already know this."

Then he said: "Come here, collect the baggage and use it as military equipment. David will take the prisoners and order them to be sent to Kyoto to be used as slaves."

When Xu Yihuan heard this, she raised her hand and shouted, "Wait a minute." The smile on her face disappeared.

"What? Captain Xu is trying to despise military orders?" The fourth prince spoke harshly and looked at Xu Yihuan with stern eyes.

Xu Yihuan raised a corner of her mouth, and there was anger in her eyes: "Your Majesty wants to take away the baggage and prisoners, and my subordinates will naturally not disagree. However, please reward your Majesty according to military regulations."

The Fourth Prince snorted coldly: "Have you forgotten, Colonel Xu, that you are receiving military pay from our Jin Dynasty, so you should naturally serve our Jin Dynasty. If you only win a small victory, you will be rewarded based on your merits. If everyone is like this, What do I, Da Jin, need from you?"

Lieutenant General Du was listening attentively. At this moment, he could not suppress the anger in his heart and stepped forward: "The Fourth Prince's words are wrong. It has been more than three months since King Jin came here and he has achieved more than 20 military exploits, large and small. See Marshal Xue and reward him once."

"Here, more than a thousand soldiers died on the battlefield. Marshal Xue did not provide comfort in accordance with the court regulations. Countless soldiers were injured, and the soldiers were not given special care in the camp. I dare to ask the fourth prince, what is the history of the Jin Dynasty? Soldiers, is human life so worthless?”
