Tu Xicai ordered: "Kill!" ”

Two knife players pounced on one left and one right, Ma Tongzhi had just drawn out his knife, and a knife had already cut off his head, and the blood line came out again, and many people present were sprayed with blood on their heads.

Seeing that Tu Xicai was so cold, Rao Tong's heart was also anxious, his face was really unmoving, and he said to Jiang Lifu, the tall commander: "Jiang Tong, Rao received your favor in the previous period, and now he is his master, but he can't bear it in his heart, and they are all Han people, these Qiu Ba are okay, you give him happy words, I want to live, Rao Mou will say a good word to you, I don't want to live, Rao Mou has already done his benevolence." I'll just listen to one sentence. ”

The remaining three commanders all looked at Chiang's commandery.

Jiang Tongzhi's face was gloomy, and he just wanted to speak, but Rao Juren had already seen the signs and spoke first: "Jiang Tongzhi, if you want to blame me, or want to talk to Xuanyi about conditions, forget it, since you don't want to live, let's say goodbye, and there will be no time in the future." Someone, carry me away. ”

Jiang Tongzhi's face turned crimson at this time, and he suddenly said: "Rao Juren, don't you even let people speak?" Without us blocking the Yuan soldiers, you wouldn't be able to escape. ”

Rao Tongenvoy didn't look back, but just said loudly: "The Xuanyi wants to leave, no one can stop it, yesterday's ninety-nine chain was sent by the Xuanyi, and I can't even understand the situation, and I lick my face and dare to scold me." It seems that Rao has a high opinion of you. ”

After that, Rao Tong said: "Marshal Tu, a certain incompetence, please turn back to the Xuanyi, these people, don't save them!" These people, keep their lives, don't dirty our hands, when the Yuan soldiers come, they will naturally fight for a while. ”

Tu Xicai said: "Okay, you decide, just do it, order, withdraw." ”

At this time, Ding Cong, the commander of the sword and shield soldiers, shouted loudly: "The sword and shield soldiers are at the end, after the second crossbow of the company, the first crossbow is in the center, the grenadiers are from it, and the fire yaksha is in the formation, alternately covering, and retreating!" ”

All the soldiers shouted, "Woo! ”

Then the formation was quickly formed and began to walk towards the trestle.

After walking three or five steps, seeing Xuan Yiwei's team retreating in a strict and orderly manner, the four commanders looked at each other in disbelief, and one of the commanders whispered: "No, shouldn't they take us in?" ”

Another commander said, "Yes, there is no reason for a rush?" ”

The third commander said, "The Xuanyi doesn't have so much food, do you want to pick some elite soldiers?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several commanders couldn't stand still, a good Jiang Lifu, his mind was spinning, and he hurriedly ran up, Ding Cong shouted loudly: "Stop, retreat!" ”

Jiang Lifu threw the knife on his body to the ground: "Hero, hero, and listen to me." ”

Ding Cong didn't care, he still shouted loudly: "Ten steps away, otherwise I'll do it!" ”

The other three commanders also untied their waist knives, threw them to the ground, and ran up: "My lord, go slowly, I will wait for the surrender!" ”

Willingness to surrender is like a very magical word, once it is shouted, the four rulers no longer have any scruples.

Rao Tong made a smile on his face at this time, but he was still walking.

It wasn't until he took another ten steps and was about to get on the boat that Rao Tong turned around: "Commanders, why is there any noise? ”

It's a slap in the face, but what can be done?

In fact, relatively speaking, the Song soldiers on the shore are the most dangerous and have no way to retreat at this time, even if they surrender in front of the Yuan soldiers, it is difficult to say whether they can save their names, the Yuan soldiers use their heads to record military exploits, as long as the Song soldiers are surrounded and taken for a day and a night, the Song soldiers themselves are thirsty and hungry, and they will collapse without a fight.

Jiang Lifu said: "Lord Rao, go slowly, I didn't say it, don't descend, let's be officials in the same dynasty and eat with the same horse spoon, even if it is for 30,000 Song soldiers, please give Rao Daren a way out." ”

Rao Juren thought about it, and was secretly happy in his heart, sure enough, Commander Tu said well, in the face of absolute strength, everything is scum, this kind of envoy, or to work for the powerful leader, is refreshing, so he has a plan in his heart, and he muttered: "It is said that Jiang is in charge, we should indeed be more close, but what, the heart of my master is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, and now even our generalissimo of soldiers and horses has seen it here, and you can't say good things about me." But I don't know, what does Jiang Tongzhi plan to do? ”

Jiang Lifu gritted his teeth: "We obey the moderation of the Xuanyi, but the Xuanyi will give us 600,000 catties of grain and grass first......"

Rao Juren shouted: "Bah! I call you Jiang Tong, you treat me as a fool, do you think Xuanyi is a fool? First give you 600,000 catties of grain and grass, 20,000 of you, save some to eat for 20 days, our Xuanyi has already become a letter of surrender for you to sell to the pseudo-yuan.

Besides, if we take out 600,000 catties of grain and grass, why do we need to give you white-eyed wolves, and we recruit some more soldiers, isn't it better than more than half of the grain and grass going to fall into your officers' bags? ”

Jiang Lifu said: "Rao Juren, you are also an official, the court has few money, and there are no more bad rules, what do our wives and children eat?" ”

Another commander said, "Yes, Rao Juren, what do those Qiu Ba know about the soldiers you have re-recruited? How can they arrange troops, and how do they know how to set up camp? How is military law enforced? All of this is up to us officers. ”

Tu Xicai asked: "You want 600,000 catties of grain, how long do you want to eat?" ”

A commander said: "Two catties per person per day, 20,000 catties per day is 40,000 catties, and 600,000 catties is fifteen days."

Rao Juren said: "You listen to his nonsense, the sergeants under the bottom can eat a pound of multigrain cakes every day, and it will be considered a festival." Forget it, you're guards, and you don't know this. ”

Tu Xicai said: "Then what do you want fifteen days of food for?" Give it every day, as long as 40,000 catties, you can also transport it! What if we have to counterattack for three days? ”

At this time, one of the commanders said, "Well, you can't say that, who knows how many days of food your Xuanyi can supply?" ”

One of the commanders said, "Yes, there is also drinking water, tents, and weapons that are damaged, and you will have to bear all these things." ”

Tu Xicai was blown up: "Shameless! ”

Jiang Lifu said: "This marshal, the soldiers and horses were originally like this, and it is not that we are the only ones who do this, but we don't do it, not to mention the official position, even if we can save our lives, it is not easy to say." In the future, if you are the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, the lower officials will also give you three festivals and two birthdays, don't say goodbye to your family! ”

Tu Xicai said: "I only learned today that it is not easy for Mrs. Zhang Shijie to grind, how can such a soldier resist foreign humiliation!" ”

Jiang Lifu said: "Marshal, you don't have to worry, aren't we also fighting here, we're still good, you see how many people have defected to the enemy, we haven't surrendered to the enemy." ”

At this time, a firehead came out and said to Tu Xicai: "Marshal, I have an idea. ”

Tu Xicai said: "Minister Yuan, you can say it. ”

Master Wei Jie said: "Marshal, among the soldiers now, the generals are embarrassed and useful, and the soldiers are the soldiers of a hundred battles. Those commanders drink the blood of soldiers, and there are already too many bad rules and bad habits, but most of the tactics we use are new tactics, and the Venerable Master will have a lot of new weapons, so we only need soldiers from a hundred battles and junior officers. We can select the captains and chiefs from them to retrain, and they are easy to obey. ”

Tu Xicai said: "However, if there are no officers, how can we organize soldiers?" ”

Jiang Chen said: "Marshal Tu, our Xuanyi can allocate at least two hundred soldiers, if we recruit 20,000 people, then there will be one of our own people for every hundred people, so that there will be centurions, and there are only ten chiefs and twenty commanders below."

However, most of these soldiers were now needed to serve as transporters and coolies, and their military capabilities were not particularly valued.

If today, our Eagle's Beak Cliff base is completed, we can also draw officers from it for training and screening. ”

Tu Xicai's eyes lit up: "But what about these commanders?" ”

Master Wei Jie said: "Either kill it, or act as an ordinary soldier." ”

Tu Xicai asked: "Kill it, it's not good, after all, it was also for the Great Song Dynasty to shed blood, ordinary soldiers, I'm afraid they won't?" ”

Jiang Chen snorted coldly: "What is unwilling." As long as the weapons are collected and they are hungry, they don't have to be much stronger than ordinary soldiers, just break up their organization. ”

Tu Xicai asked again: "The weapons have been collected, what if Meng Yuan comes to attack?" ”

Master Wei Jie said:

"If the Xuanyi can't kill Meng Yuan by himself, these soldiers can fight back in the blink of an eye!

My opinion is to build a base camp in Eagle's Beak Rock and build a cottage to ensure that Meng Yuan is strangled.

Then fight steadily, first improve the Xuanyi's own combat ability. ”

Jiang Chen said: "What the chief of staff said is very good, but I understand what Marshal Tu means, how to recruit these sergeants, right? ”

Tu Xicai said: "Yes, how can we bypass these commanders to directly recruit and win the trust of the soldiers?" ”

Master Weijie said: "This matter is easy, we use hot air balloons, hang large banners, and the Xuanyi Army recruits sergeants, with 60 catties of food per month and three coins of silver. ”

Jiang Chen said: "This is a great good"

Rao Tong said: "This is indeed very good. Let's go back and raise the hot air balloon first. ”

Tu Xicai said: "Our newly recruited sergeants need to be distinguished from the original, how to do it? ”

Jiang Chen said: "You can use wood to engrave the seal, and then stamp the conscripted sergeant's shirt." I will definitely have to change to a new uniform in the future. ”

Tu Xicai was overjoyed, so he said to Master Weijie: "Minister Yuan, in this way, we are ready to recruit Song soldiers directly, regardless of their officers, what do you think?" ”

Master Wei Jie said, "Marshal Tu, I can't think of any reason not to do this. ”

Tu Xicai then said: "Rao Tong, let's go, let them eat their pride and live." ”

So the Xuanyiwei delegation returned to the sampan en en masse and rowed to the Xuanyi.

......

Jiang Lifu and other commanders stood on the station bridge in a daze, silent.

After a while, one of the commanders said, "That's why they're gone?" ”

The other said, "Hmph, let's go, let's take the troops to the well, to the village, and raise some more military rations, at least we can cook some food." ”

Another commander said, "I think there are still a lot of horses, and I can get some food." ”

Jiang Lifu sighed: "After eating this meal, can you survive at night, let's talk about it!" ”

A commander said: "It's a big deal, I really voted for Meng Yuan!" ”
