Wang Yan was paid, and the whole army was jubilant, but some generals who had just changed from the Shun army to the Ming army were very unhappy, and they came to Gao and Li Guo together.

Li Laiheng, He Lan and others came to the tent and couldn't help complaining: "Zongzhen, madam, in the past, the salaries in the army were all paid to our subordinates by ourselves, but now the prince of the country has not gone through our hands at all, this is because we are wary and unwilling to trust." ”

Li Guo heard this, but frowned slightly, he naturally understood what the generals meant, it was nothing more than that they couldn't deduct the military salary, watching all the silver of Baihuahua being distributed, his heart hurt, and he felt that he had cut the flesh on their bodies, so he was indignant and wanted to get a piece of the silver salary.

As the commander of a town, Li Guo was naturally a little unhappy in his heart. Wang Yan's army is paid in silver, without going through these leading generals, all of them are issued by Li Suiqiu, who is in charge of logistics, then they can neither eat the blood of the soldiers, nor can they eat empty salaries, and the losses are indeed huge, but Li Guo knows that Wang Yan has given them far more than the usual salary, so they can't be too greedy, and he is really grateful to Wang Yan in his heart, and then said to a few people: "Li Laiheng, how much silver pay did you get for this salary?" ”

Li Laiheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, his voice couldn't help but be lowered, and he replied, "Seven hundred and sixty-eight taels." ”

"Smack~" Li Guo waited for him to finish speaking, suddenly slapped his palm on the seat, stood up violently, and scolded at a few people: "Seven hundred and sixty-eight taels, then you are the commander, and the monthly silver salary is two hundred and fifty-six taels, the grandfather of the country treats you so kindly, how dare you have such a different heart?" ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the first rank of the big man, when the three princes of the dynasty, the monthly salary was only eighty-seven stones, and the commander was not the third grade, but Wang Yan gave two hundred and fifty-six taels, nearly three times more, and the treatment was not generous.

When Li Laiheng and the others heard this, they came to their senses, and Wang Yansui deprived them of the right to handle the silver salary, but he also gave them enough compensation, and they were suddenly ashamed.

Seeing this, Gao said softly: "The generals and concubines, although they have submitted to the Ming Dynasty and become people in the government, there are still many people in the court who regard us as thieves and want to get rid of them as soon as possible. The Duke of Chu is as kind to us as a mountain, and it is our reliance in the court, and the generals will have to think twice about their actions in the future. ”

When Li Guo heard this, he nodded and said, "What Yimu said is right, you must not only care about the small profits in front of you, and ruin the overall situation of the country." Now that we are under the command of the Guogong and the Guogong is prosperous, it is not a problem for us to worship the prince, and if the Guogong is defeated, then we will never recover! ”

When the generals heard this, they knew that they were one with Wang Yan, and they all retired in shame.

At this point, Wang Yan's salary greatly shocked the morale of the whole army, especially the old soldiers of the Shun army, and gradually restored their morale, and the eyes of each soldier revealed a glimmer of hope and recovered some spirits.

The originally scattered camp began to become orderly, and the soldiers who had been sitting on the ground everywhere and were lazy and godless began to practice.

Wang Yan paid the price of 500,000 taels of silver for this, and the silver money in his hand was only 600,000 taels in a blink of an eye.

At this time, with the expansion of his army again, the monthly silver cost in the future will be hundreds of thousands, but the silver money and materials in his hands are once again stretched.

In the two days, the army could only carry out preliminary reorganization, and could not immediately become combat strength, but time waited for no one, and Wang Yan could not wait for the results of the army's drills before dealing with the Qing troops.

He was afraid that the defenders of Yuezhou would not be able to hold out when he swept away the Qing troops in Jingzhou and Changde, so Wang Yan could only let the soldiers and horses run in in the battle and slowly become a strong combat force.

At this time, Wang Yan first besieged the city on both sides and changed it to a siege on all sides, supervising the pro-army, loyalty, loyalty, and loyalty, and each side was surrounded and prepared to attack.

Geng Zhongming originally wanted to defend the city and wait for Luck Dehun to send troops to rescue, but when Wang Yan sent troops to surround all sides, letters and military orders from Le Ke Hun in Wuchang City also came to the city.

At this time, Geng Zhongming, Zheng Siwei and others learned that the Qing army in Wuchang had gone to attack Yuezhou, and they would not rescue Jingzhou at all.

Luckedhun ordered them to defend the city to the death, wait for him to capture Yuezhou, and then besiege and annihilate Wang Yan under the city of Jingzhou, but if Jingzhou can hold it, will they ask Luckedhun for help again and again?

"This is going to be bait for us!" Li Sifeng, Jingnan Daotai, couldn't help but say hatefully after reading the letter.

The method of using soldiers, ten is to surround it, five is to attack it, and the multiple is divided, the enemy can fight, and if it is less, it can escape, and if it is not, it can be avoided.

With the arrival of Li Guobu, the Ming army outside the city amounted to more than 85,000 people, nearly five times the defenders in the city, Wang Yan's time to attack the city was ripe, and the defenders in the city, under the shelling of these days, have lost their morale, plus the grain and grass in Jingzhou City, in the last siege was almost consumed, has not been replenished, so the grain and grass has been insufficient.

At this time, in the eyes of Zheng Siwei and Li Sifeng, whether it is the military heart, materials, or city defense, there is no possibility of holding the city at all.

Geng Zhongming and Zheng Siwei listened to Li Sifeng's words, their faces were heavy, they all knew that they were abandoned by Luck Dehun as a chess piece.

At this time, the three high-ranking Qing military officials in the city couldn't help but have different thoughts.

Geng Zhongming is an old thief, and he knows very well in his heart that even if he surrenders, he will not end well, and his subordinates are all banner people, and they will not agree to his surrender, so he only has one way to fight to the death, but Zheng and Li can have different ideas.

Because of the relationship with the Shun army, Zheng Siwei would not surrender to the Ming army unless he had to, but now that Luck Dehun did not send reinforcements, he would only have a dead end if he defended it, so he had to try to surrender.

That night, the envoys of Zheng Siwei and Li Sifeng quietly went out of the city to surrender to Wang Yan, but Wang Yan did not allow it at all, only said that he wanted to take Jingzhou in person, and the envoys retreated in panic.

Seeing this, Wang Fuzhi was extremely puzzled, and then asked: "In the past, Chengzu won the world, because he could recruit Nashun, why did Shiheng refuse Zheng and Li Ye now?" ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he replied: "At that time, at this time." In the past, Emperor Wen of Chengzu competed with each other, and in order to compete for people's hearts, he recruited and rewarded him to persuade him. Today's Huayi controversy is for the sake of righteousness. Zheng and Li's generation are also people who forget righteousness. If it is allowed to surrender, then the people of this generation, see the benefit of the Yidi, the loss of the Ming Dynasty, the ambition of this generation, not a good policy. Besides, the general of our army and Zheng have the enmity of the master, if I allow to surrender, the army will not be attached, if I refuse, I have already received the hearts of the people! ”

Wang Fuzhi couldn't help but caress his beard after hearing this, and then nodded: "Shiheng's words are very good." However, since the thieves are not allowed to surrender, they should not be surrounded on all sides like iron buckets, and the thieves must fight to the death, and there are still more than 10,000 people in the city, so it is better to withdraw the east gate and attack the west alone, then the thieves will have no intention of fighting, and abandon the city and leave. At that time, Shi Heng could ambush the soldiers outside the city, and Zheng and Li were easy to capture. ”

"Brother's words, goodness!" When Wang Yan heard this, he thought so, and ordered his men to withdraw to the east and attack the west city alone.
