The 800 defenders of Xinshi Town all gathered and followed Wang Yuanxiu out of the line.

"Jiang Chengji?" When

Wang Yuanxiu saw Jiang Chengji, he was obviously stunned, obviously, he didn't expect that in a short period of time, the other party would be able to come up with such a military formation.

"Wang Yuanxiu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I came today to ask you for something!" Jiang

Chengji rode forward slowly, smiling and speaking.

"Borrowed grain? No, you betrayed the kingdom, how can you have the face to appear in front of me again?"

Wang Yuanxiu sneered, and then reprimanded sharply.

"I betrayed the kingdom? No! It was the kingdom that betrayed me! My Jiang family has been in and out of the country for generations, but what did I get in the end?

It was betrayal, shameless betrayal!" Hearing the word betrayal, Jiang Chengji also restrained his smile, and his voice was as cold as iron.

"Wang Yuanxiu, I don't want to say anything more about the past, what I want to borrow from you is, Xinshi Town!" Jiang

Chengji restrained his emotions for a moment, and then spoke coldly.

"Xinshizhen, are you also worthy?, have you asked me about the gun in my hand?"

Wang Yuanxiu smiled, and waved the spear in his hand, the tip of which was pointed directly at Jiang Chengji.

"You are not my opponent, Wang Yuanxiu, I respect you as a good man, sacrifice Xinshi Town, I promise that the army will not loot or burn after entering the city, everything will be the same, as for these soldiers, I can also guarantee that everyone has military salaries available, and the pensions that have been owed will be given, as for you, the official position will remain unchanged.

Jiang Chengji spoke slowly.

"Huh?"

Wang Yuanxiu frowned, he didn't understand what Jiang Chengji meant, he didn't burn, kill and loot, and also paid soldiers salaries and pensions? Are you here to send money

? Are the current Xiangma more responsible than local officials? This is not right, Xiangma's duty is not this.

"Why? I don't believe it? I said, I want Xinshi Town, not money and beauty, Xinshi Town is not mine, it belongs to the people, the people are here, Xinshi Town is here.

"What I want to do is not to burn, kill and loot, but to return the people to a quiet and peaceful life, so that they will no longer be oppressed by local officials and bullies

Jiang Chengji said loudly, the sound spread among the many soldiers in Xinshi Town, and many people were a little shaken, most of the soldiers here were from humble backgrounds, poor men, and their families had been peasant tenants for generations, and they had been deeply oppressed and exploited by the landlords and nobles since they were children, and they had also seen the arrogance and unreasonableness of local officials.

"Brothers, think about it, what are you doing as a soldier for, for money, for military merit, or for your hometown not to be taken captive? But what about the city of Saar? The treasures in the city are piled up, and the nobles are drunk with money all day long, while you soldiers have to fight bravely, and there is no pay for your life, and there is no pension for your death.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Tang Dao also walked out of the military formation, and as he spoke, he took out a large bag of gold coins from his backpack, and then grabbed a handful and threw it at the soldiers opposite.

In the face of the golden gold coins, there are finally soldiers who can't help it, they haven't seen their salaries for a long time, and their families are poor and have a lack of laborers, and the temptation of this money is too great.

"You are not allowed to pick it up! You are all soldiers of the kingdom! You must have backbone! He is a wanted criminal in the kingdom, and Jiang Chengji is even more ringing, and they can't ask for their money!" Seeing

that many soldiers were picking up gold coins on the ground, Wang Yuanxiu couldn't help it, and scolded everyone.

"General Wang, we don't want to pick it up, but we have to pick it up, my family of seven people, just waiting for my military salary, this year's harvest is not good, after paying the grain tax, there are two hundred catties of grain left, we have to eat for a year, where is enough?"

said a middle-aged soldier in an old military uniform, holding the gold coin tightly in his left hand, holding the spear tightly in his right hand, looking at the waist card on his waist, he is still a chief.

Wang Yuanxiu was also silent, he knew this chief, and he had been following him for a few years, and he still pulled it up with one hand, and the situation at home was indeed the same, and there was no exaggeration.

Seeing that Wang Yuanxiu was silent, Tang Dao once again took the opportunity to sprinkle gold coins to win people's hearts, and for a while, the sound of gold coins falling on the armor resounded in front of the two armies.

Wang Yuanxiu closed his eyes and acquiesced in the behavior of many soldiers picking up gold coins, so that almost all the soldiers were picking up gold coins, and the formation suddenly dispersed.

"General, should we take the opportunity to attack? Beside

Jiang Chengji, a centurion asked in a low voice.

"No, absolutely not.

Tang Xin, who was on the other side, directly refused, at this time, attacking was the most wrong choice.

The law of the husband and the soldier, the whole country is the first, and the country is secondary. The whole army is the first, and the broken army is second. The whole brigade is the first, and the broken brigade is second. All pawns are the first, and broken pawns are second. The whole army is the first, and the army is second. Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and the good ones who are not good are also good. The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good.

At this moment, what we need to do is not to plunder villages and towns and kill soldiers, but to win people's hearts, turn the newly acquired Xinshi Town and its military power into our own use, and then run it into our own base camp, like an iron bucket.

In this way, even if the army is defeated later, there is no need to worry about the dispersion of the people, and you can fight again with the whole army.

The residents of Xinshi Town, some of whom were bold, climbed the city wall, and also saw this scene, and even heard the words of several people, and couldn't help but feel very emotional in their hearts and whispered.

"Hmph! a group of soft bones, take my treasure bow!" At

this moment, a cold voice sounded, it was An Sai, who rushed to hear the news, and saw Wang Yuanxiu conniving at the soldiers to pick up gold coins, and immediately became furious, and asked his followers for bows and arrows, aiming at Wang Yuanxiu's heart is an arrow.

It's just a town general, and if you kill it, you will kill it, not to mention that you can report him for colluding with Xiangma.

At this time, Wang Yuanxiu was in a tangle, and he didn't notice the arrow flying behind him.

"General, be careful!"

the middle-aged elder pounced on Wang Yuanxiu, the arrow pierced through his chest, and the arrow blade stuck on Wang Yuanxiu's armor.

"Lao Zhao!" Wang

Yuanxiu only reacted at this time, and was suddenly shocked, but it was too late, Shi Chang just trembled and raised the two gold coins in his hand, and immediately lost his breath.

"Ansai, you're too much!" Wang

Yuanxiu looked at Ansai on the city wall, his eyes blood-red, and roared.

"Hmph, as a town general, but you don't restrain your subordinates, and even collude with Xiangma to share the stolen goods, shouldn't you be killed?"

"All the generals listen to the order, I am Ansai, the cavalry commander of Saar, now, follow me to kill the rebels, kill Wang Yuanxiu or Jiang Chengji, and the reward will be 1,000! Kill a thief, and the reward will be 10 gold!"

Ansai took out his waist card and shouted to the many soldiers in Xinshi Town.
