"Since it’s a joint attack by both forces, it must be split equally!" The Yan Army soldiers were full of discontent.
The Yan Army soldiers echoed: "Yes! Exactly! Equally! It must be equal!"
The Zhou soldiers’ anger flared up again, they rolled up their sleeves and cursed loudly: "Equal my ass! How many troops did we Zhou send out compared to your Yan Kingdom? We deployed so much earlier! While we were deployed, you were still sleeping in your beds, and you have the nerve to talk about equality with us? You just came to take advantage later... and you really think you’re something, I’ll tell you... you’ll get nothing from us!"
"Exactly! Pingdu City was captured by us Zhou, the ambush at Hanwen Mountain was fought by us Zhou, you just came to cheer and want to split half, what a dream!"
The Zhou soldiers became even more enraged: "Last time the Elephant Army besieged Pingdu City, and you rushed over to take advantage only after we’d almost finished the fight, taking away two of the living giant elephants. So many of our Zhou soldiers died, and why didn’t you mention sharing spoils according to the number of casualties then? Regardless of how the battle is fought or how people die... the benefits must go to you Yan Kingdom! Do you Yan have any shame left?"
The Yan soldiers, humiliated, stepped forward, the one leading almost poked the face of the Zhou young general with his finger: "In this battle, our Yan lost so many soldiers! It’s several times your Zhou’s casualties! These giant elephants were bought back by the lives of our fallen brothers, they rightfully belong to us!"
The Zhou young general, looking disgusted by the Yan Army, slapped away the Yan soldier’s hand and coldly retorted: "That’s a joke. Oh... you lost more lives, so you take more? Then Tianfeng Kingdom lost even more... should we gather up the armor from these giant elephants and send them to Tianfeng Kingdom? Your commander is incompetent, letting so many of you die, and yet you’re proud of it?"
The Yan soldier whose hand was slapped away instantly drew his sword: "How dare you insult our Ninth Prince! Brothers, let’s fight these Zhou scum!"
Both armies drew their swords...
Suddenly, the sound of a whip cracking through the air echoed outside the north gate of Pingyang City.
The crisp sound landed on the hands of the two leading Yan and Zhou soldiers, making their swords fall to the ground.
Bai Jinzhi restrained her horse with one hand and held a long whip with the other, her face cold as she looked at the Zhou soldiers and Yan Army who were on the verge of fighting.
"What? We just barely defeated the Tianfeng Kingdom across the Danshui River, and you think we’ve won a great victory and are starting to fight amongst allied nations?" Bai Jinzhi’s expression was cold, her voice authoritative and commanding.
Seeing it was Lord of Gaoyi, the Zhou soldiers gritted their teeth and sheathed their swords.
The Yan Army, seeing the Zhou soldiers had already sheathed their swords, put theirs away as well, still looking defiant. Yet, Lord of Gaoyi’s reputation for destroying Liang was well known. Even though she was a woman, as soldiers, even the Yan soldiers had a natural respect for strong leaders.
Furthermore, Bai Jinzhi hadn’t immediately sided with the Zhou upon arriving, but instead disciplined both sides, which made the Yan soldiers less resistant.
"The division of the spoils from this victory is being discussed between our Emperor and the Ninth Prince of Yan. Everything will be decided by the Emperor and the Ninth Prince. What are you fighting over here for?" Bai Jinzhi calmly retracted her whip and hung it behind her waist.
