Chapter 96: They Don't Have a Chance to Come Back

"Please Mr. Li into the house for a detailed discussion!"

"Good!"

Li Gengyun can see that Liu Shanghai has accepted his surrender, and the righteousness of Xiaozhi just now is actually just to give the other party a step, according to Wu Santong, although this Liu Shanghai has good martial arts, he is not a principled person, but now the situation is very clear, if he does not surrender, he will die, so the other party chose to surrender.

And Liu Shanghai's condition, to put it bluntly, is to protect himself, the Song army that originally surrendered to the Northern Yuan Dynasty would not choose to resist even if it was not their own people, but those Northern Yuan soldiers were different, they themselves thought very highly of themselves, thinking that they were soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, naturally they were a grade higher than these surrendered Song troops, and they were brave and good at fighting, even the archers had strong combat effectiveness, so once they resisted, then Liu Shanghai did not dare to guarantee whether Li Gengyun could protect themselves.

For today's plan, the only way to do this is to strike first, kill all these Northern Yuan soldiers first, so that no one will resist, and then even if the Northern Yuan army attacks again, he can also betray Li Gengyun and them like he betrayed General Wang before, anyway, the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty have died, he can blame Li Gengyun and them, and he can also get a good image of knowing the current affairs.

Liu Shanghai's careful thinking has long been seen through by Li Gengyun, but Li Gengyun and their own plan is to kill all the Northern Yuan soldiers, so Liu Shanghai's conditions are just favors. Moreover, Li Gengyun has also made a plan, and he will definitely not let Liu Shanghai, who has a heart for repeatedness, control the original troops, and the thousand soldiers brought by Song Qing can be handed over to Liu Shanghai, of course, in addition to Liu Shanghai, Wu Santong will also be lost to Liu Shanghai. Through the dialogue with Wu Santong, Li Gengyun also understood the other party's personality, Liu Shanghai would surrender, but Wu Santong would monitor Liu Shanghai, so that the team of 1,000 people was relatively stable.

Song Qing arranged for his soldiers to remove all the guards in the General's Mansion, while he and He Jin followed Li Gengyun into the General.

"Mr. Li, please be seated!"

Liu Shanghai took the initiative to ask Li Gengyun to sit in the position of the main general, because now Li Gengyun is already the person who controls Xianyang Pass, and he has chosen to surrender, so he must show his sincerity and surrender.

"Hehe, then you're welcome!"

Li Gengyun did not refuse, he walked to the seat of the chief general, sat down, and then said to Liu Shanghai: "General Liu, please bring the army roster of Xianyangguan." ”

"Yes!" Liu Shanghai respectfully saluted Li Gengyun, and after the salute, he shouted to his own soldiers outside the door, "Go and bring the roster to Mr. Li!" ”

"Yes!"

It didn't take long for the roster of the Xianyangguan army to reach Li Gengyun's hands, he opened the roster and looked at it, and then said with a smile: "It seems that the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are much better than our Song army in terms of treatment." ”

The first page of this roster is the difference between the treatment of the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the treatment of the Song army, the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were paid one or two pieces of silver per month, while the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were only three dollars of silver, only one-third of the other party. In terms of pensions, the pensions of the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were one tael of gold, while the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were only three taels of silver, which was a full thirty times the difference. (The text is set: one tael of gold is equivalent to one hundred taels of silver)

"Hehe, yes!"

Liu Shanghai was also a little helpless, this is the rule set by the Northern Yuan court, the Northern Yuan soldiers should be treated better than the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Well, in the Xianyang Pass, there are only 3,000 archers in the Northern Yuan soldiers. In other words, 2,000 archers and 7,000 infantry are all from my Great Song Dynasty, right? ”

"Yes, Mr. Li, there were originally 20,000 soldiers in Xianyang Pass, including 5,000 Northern Yuan cavalry, 3,000 wolf knights, and 3,000 Northern Yuan archers. However, now the 5,000 cavalry has been wiped out by Mr. Li, and the life and death of the 3,000 wolf knights are uncertain, so now the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is only left with these 3,000 archers. ”

"Well, there should still be, that is, the 5,000 archers and 5,000 heavy armor soldiers who are attacking West Horse City and 20,000 infantry, what about the roster of these people?"

Li Gengyun did not forget that Xianyangguan originally had a deputy general, that is, the person who led the 30,000-strong army to attack Xima City, but Liu Shanghai did not give the roster to Li Gengyun.

"Mr. Li, please don't misunderstand, the roster of the 30,000 army is not in my hands, but in the hands of Qian Yuan's deputy general Gu Suteng, who led the 30,000 army to attack Xima City this time, so he is not in the city. However, in his army, 5,000 archers and 5,000 heavy armor soldiers were all soldiers of the Northern Yuan, and 10,000 of the 20,000 infantry were infantry of the Northern Yuan. ”

Liu Shanghai explained to Li Gengyun the reason why the roster was not in his hands, and also told Gu Suteng's 30,000 troops of the Northern Yuan and the distribution of the Great Song soldiers.

"Well, it's been a few days since they attacked West Malaysia City, and the supply of grain and grass is still going well?"

"Mr. Li, you want to fight Gu Suteng's idea?!"

Song Qing and Liu Shanghai reacted at the same time, Li Gengyun suddenly asked about the supply of grain and grass, obviously this was not a casual question, based on the military intuition of the two, Li Gengyun must have asked to cut off the supply of grain and grass for the 30,000 army.

"Mr. Li, the combat effectiveness of these 30,000 troops is not ordinarily strong, the reason why Xima City has been able to hold out for so many days is all because he is the deputy governor of Lizhou, the city wall is tall, and there are also 20,000 elite soldiers guarding the city, otherwise Xima City is already Gusuteng at this time."

"Thank you General Liu for reminding you that in the siege battle, if the strength of the two sides is equal, then the comparison is courage, but if one side is weak and the other is strong, the defender relies on the city height, and if you want to win, it is a competition for supply consumption. So many days have passed, and the supplies in Xima City should be almost there, and the supplies of Gusuteng are constantly sent over by General Liu. I believe that if it continues, then it must be Gusuteng who wins. I think it is very reasonable to cut off the supply of grain and grass to Gusu vine. ”

Li Gengyun said with a smile, and then he said to Song Qing: "It takes about two full days to transport grain and grass from Xianyang Pass to West Malaysia City. From now on, no one is allowed to leave the city, and not a single grain is allowed to flow into the hands of Gusuteng. ”

"If Mr. Li cuts off the supply of grain and grass, then Gusuteng will definitely find out that something is wrong, and what if they turn back to attack Xianyang Pass when the time comes? Xianyangguan is not like West Horse City, the height of the city wall here is only ten meters......"

"They won't have a chance to come back!"
