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

Chapter 37 Urgent
  Marshal's tent.

Marshal Xue sat with his head bowed, his hands helplessly pressing his knees.

Prince Pingzhang, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Prince had been wandering in front of him for an hour, talking endlessly about Prince Jin's faults.

Half a month has passed since the envoy came to announce the decree. The King of Jin has not made any movement since he took over the two thousand elite soldiers and military rations, let alone went to Xiaocheng to attack the city.

And their most tabooed person, His Highness Prince Jin, stayed in his tent day and night for fifteen days in a row. He thought he was discussing some siege plan, but he only found out after sending someone to inquire.

King Jin and Lieutenant Xu slept in the tent during the day and night.

The three princes and Marshal Xue were now getting anxious.

Seeing that half of the January period has passed.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and even those who sleep at night feel that their hands and feet cannot keep warm.

But the King of Jin showed no intention of attacking the city.

"Prince Jin, what does this mean?"

"Did he decide to give up on Concubine Tao?" The fifth prince was anxious. According to the previous plan, he only prepared food for the camp for a month, and the rest was in his pocket. Now half a month has passed, if he still can't capture it Xiaocheng, the army must not have enough food.

He went to see it two days ago and found that many soldiers had frozen to death and starved to death.

As the weather got colder, the soldiers' ability to bear hunger also declined. The food prepared before was not enough, and many soldiers died. If he did not attack the city overnight, the small amount of food in his hand would not be enough for the soldiers. Xiao Cheng If they can't be captured, they will be punished.

"I think he is an unfilial son. For the sake of the power in his hands, he now doesn't even care about the safety of his mother and concubines." King Pingzhang looked angry, as if he and King Jin were real brothers, and the noble concubine under house arrest in the palace was the only one. She is just like his own mother.

Marshal Xue saw it, and he might not know who was vicious? You are a good person, and now you are condemning Prince Jin on behalf of Concubine Tao.

He sneered in his heart. There was no wave on his face, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Because the three princes withheld winter clothes from the soldiers, one-third of the soldiers in the army began to fall ill.

The weather was too cold, there were no winter clothes, there was not enough food to eat, and there were no military doctors to treat illnesses. If the King of Jin really did not attack the city, then Xiaocheng would definitely not be captured.

"Yes, it looked so good before. He will give us whatever we want. Now?"

The Sixth Prince sneered and said angrily: "Now he is actually sleeping in the tent. I heard yesterday that he took Lieutenant Xu to the river to fish in the middle of the night last night."

When the Sixth Prince said this, he clenched his fists angrily.

Vice General Cui stood behind Marshal Xue, looking at the three idiot princes with an expressionless face, but he had already scolded these three people thousands of times in his heart.

The thousand lambs rewarded by His Majesty for the celebration banquet have now fallen into the stomachs of these three princes. Even if King Jin won the battle, he would have nothing to eat.

He is not stupid, he is only constrained by Concubine Tao. If giving up Concubine Tao can save the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, the deal is worth it.

Besides, the King of Jin had more than just the troops in the border towns. His main force was still in the west of the Jin Dynasty, which was all killed by the King of Jin with swords and spears.

Where there is life, there is hope.

"Marshal Xue, if King Jin doesn't send troops to take back Xiaocheng, then you can do it." King Pingzhang looked at Marshal Xue with a cold face.

Marshal Xue was stunned and stared at King Pingzhang.

"Your Majesty, you should know that I am already very old. I am taking command of this expedition just because of my rich experience, so I have been given the title of Marshal. If I am young and powerful, then I will naturally be the three princes."

He paused and then continued to add: "Before leaving, Your Majesty and the Queen have given you many instructions to let the three princes practice. You have been in the border city for more than three months. The attack on Xiaocheng is your training. Opportunity"

When the fifth prince heard this, he couldn't sit still even more: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, the three of us are not very good at riding and archery. If we go to attack the city, wouldn't we be going to die?" The sixth prince was also frightened when he heard this, and went up. The former said: "Yes, fourth brother, we can't defeat Xiaocheng by ourselves."

The two princes directly ignored Marshal Xue. Both of them could see that Marshal Xue had been ill for the past few days and had been bedridden for many days. Today, the three of them got him out of bed, so he had time to listen to them.

King Pingzhang regretted it at this moment. He had known that one or two military camps should have been left in the army. After curing this old thing, he could still be used by them. But now it is better and no one can rely on him.

When Vice Admiral Cui saw the three people's reactions, he felt happy.

A week ago, my uncle had already seen that Ye Shang had evil intentions, so he simply pretended to be ill.

This disguise lasted for seven days. If King Pingzhang hadn't forcibly pulled him up today, my uncle wouldn't have been willing to get up.

Now seeing the three princes as anxious as ants on a hot pot, he felt extremely happy.

"Cough cough cough" Marshal Xue coughed heavily, and the thoughts of those people were brought to his now exhausted body.

"Uncle, uncle, let me help you take a rest." Vice General Cui stepped forward with an anxious look on his face and bent down to help Marshal Xue.

Marshal Xue stood up while coughing, leaning mostly on Vice Admiral Cui.

The three princes looked panicked, but they were helpless.

"Slow down, slow down." Vice General Cui supported Marshal Xue as he staggered toward the camp's bedroom one step at a time.

After the two of them walked away, the three of them became irritable.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, what do you think we should do? What should we do?"

The fifth prince was the most urgent by nature. Seeing that Marshal Xue was not in good health now, he felt extremely panicked.

"What if, what if Marshal Xue also confesses here later, then we...we" Before he could finish speaking, King Pingzhang scolded him angrily: "Okay, don't say any more."

King Pingzhang frowned and clenched his fists heavily: "Send someone to ask when King Jin will attack the city?"

"This, this?" The fifth prince was anxious. With this question, King Jin must have asked him for food and grass. In the past three months, King Jin had provided him with food and grass.

In the past half month, he used military funds to buy some food. Where can he get food now?

"Then what if he doesn't go?" The sixth prince was a little desperate at the moment, and his tone became much lower.

"If he doesn't want to go, then force him to go," King Pingzhang said with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"How to force it?" the fifth prince asked eagerly.

"Cut off his food and grass, and then kill Colonel Xu." King Pingzhang's chest heaved violently, and his face turned red.

He is quite determined not to give up until he reaches his goal.

"Okay, let's do it then." Under the influence of Prince Pingzhang, the fifth prince became bolder.

"Come here," he whistled, and the secret guards descended from all sides of the camp to the entrance of the camp.

"I've seen the fifth prince." The secret guards all knelt down outside the camp.

The thirty secret guards looked at each other with confused expressions.

What happened today? According to the rules, the secret guards always lurk together in twos and threes, but they have never appeared together like this.
