Two days later, Li Yan received an order from Su County, asking him to go to the county seat.

Li Yan led people to the county seat, he and Li Zhong entered the county office, and the others were waiting outside. At this time, waiting outside, there were also Yang Garrison's personal soldiers, who were all drinking tea in the tea shed and roasting the fire. And Li Yan's soldiers were standing outside the county office.

After Li Yan and Li Zhong entered the second hall of the county government, they saw that Yang Shoubei was already sitting in the lower hand, while Su Jing was sitting on the main seat drinking tea.

"I've seen the county." Li Yan and Li Zhong bowed their hands.

"Mr. Lee is here." Su Jing put down the teacup, looked at Li Zhong with a smile and asked, "This is~"

Li Yan introduced: "This is a lowly team officer, Li, Da Liang. He almost reported Li Zhong's real name, but fortunately he reacted quickly, stumbled, and corrected it in time.

"Humble Li Daliang, I have seen the county honor." Li Zhong hugged his fists again and gave Su Jing a salute.

Su Jing now has no complaints about these two guys not kneeling down, and now even Yang Shoubei, who used to kneel often, only hugged his fists as a salute, and didn't even bother to kneel on one knee. There is no way, now the generals seem to be collectively awakening, and they are no longer willing to kneel to civil officials like their grandsons did when they saw their ancestors. And now, when soldiers are needed to serve the battlefield, the authority of civilian officials is being consumed little by little by this troubled era.

Su Jing opened his mouth and said, "I called you here today to announce Governor Li's order. Governor Li wanted to mobilize the army and go with him to Dengzhou to block the defenses and exterminate the thieves entrenched in the area of Fang and Zhu. The county decided to send the soldiers of Yang Garrison to enlist and fight on the battlefield with Governor Li, and build an immortal feat. ”

Li Yan didn't react, and this matter didn't have much to do with him. But Yang Shoubei was very happy, he immediately stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the county honor. The last general will fight bravely to kill the enemy in order to repay the kindness of the court. ”

Now the most important thing is the men and horses and military merits, even if they surrender to the thieves, there are people who can get the official position of deputy commander-in-chief. Even Zuo Liangyu, the deputy chief soldier who had not many people, after several years of fighting against bandits, constantly recruiting thieves, is now a general with tens of thousands of people. Yang Shoubei felt that he himself was not bad, even if he couldn't defeat the thief, who wouldn't kill the good and take the merit? and then coerced some homeless people, he Yang is also a general.

Su Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief, he had thought of many reasons to persuade Yang Shoubei to go on the expedition, but now he didn't need it. So he said happily: "Yang Shoubei is loyal to the king, it is really very loyal, and this county must play the governor and the court, and speak of the loyalty of the guard." As long as the garrison can make one or two meritorious deeds on the battlefield, the imperial court will definitely give the garrison a special reward. ”

"The last general thanked the county honor." Yang Shoubei also thanked happily.

Su Jing then said to Li Yan: "Since Yang Shoubei is going to go out to suppress the thieves, then the safety of the county town will have to worry about Mr. Li." ”

Li Yan clenched his fists and said, "Rest assured, the county will definitely guard the county seat." ”

"Then please transfer all the soldiers to the city, the barracks and venues are ready-made." Su Jing immediately demanded.

Li Yan glanced at Yang Shoubei, and then replied: "This, I'm afraid it won't work for the time being." Yang Shoubei is not going to be pulled out now, he always has to be prepared. When the Yang garrison is ready, it is not too late to bring someone to take over the defense. ”

"That's it, that's it." Yang Shoubei also immediately said: "This is not a trivial matter, and everything must be prepared to stop." The most important thing is that the county honor, you have to make up for the arrears of the salary for us, as well as the issuance fee and the next month's salary, and prepare grain for the last general's subordinates, so you can't let the last general march hungry with his sons. ”

Su Jing was stunned, he had no experience in this area before, and he didn't know that there were still these twists and turns. So he said dissatisfiedly: "According to the rules of the imperial court, the guest army has agreed to defend the land, and the next day the local government will naturally pay you a guest salary." Grain and grass can be prepared for you, this go to Kaifeng, but one day's journey, this county has prepared two days of grain and grass for you. When it arrives in Kaifeng, there is naturally an arrangement by the governor. As for the arrears, it's not that you won't come back, and you'll make up for it when you come back. What is the algorithm for this line fee? ”

Yang Shoubei heard that there was no benefit to be gained, so he said stiffly: "Since the county lord is not ready for anything, then the last general is not in a hurry, and when the county is ready, he will send someone to inform the last general." The travel fee is a month's salary, so prepare well for the county lord. ”

Su Jing shook his sleeves and said coldly: "This is the order of the governor, the deadline is to arrive in Kaifeng before the fifth day of the twelfth month, and if it is not overdue, it will be regarded as violating the order!" Yang Shoubei still don't act rashly and lose his life! ”

Although the power of military generals has risen now, after all, it has been suppressed for a long time, and it is impossible to turn over and become the master all at once. Yang Shoubei was still a little afraid of Su Jing at this time, and more importantly, Qi County was too close to Feng, and Chen Yongfu, the deputy commander-in-chief, could come over in one day. And he only has 400 people, so he really doesn't have the capital to call for it.

"The last general is reckless, please forgive the county lord." Yang Shoubei hugged his fists and apologized.

Su Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay, you guys hurry up and prepare and set off as soon as possible." As for the travel fee, the county will prepare it for you. ”

At this time, Su Jing didn't dare to force it too much, if these vulgar soldiers were allowed to mutiny, he would be the first to lose his head. And there is Li Yan here, if Yang is not guarded at all, it seems unlikely that Li Yan will serve in the future.

Yang Shoubei clenched his fists and said without being soft or hard: "Okay, the last general will set off on the second day of the first month, and please prepare for the county as soon as possible." The sons and daughters are about to go to kill thieves to serve the country, they can't eat enough, they can't dress warmly, and they don't settle their families well, how can they go into battle to kill thieves? Even if something happens, the court won't be too harsh on us. After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, without giving Su Jing a chance to speak again.

Su Jingqi's hands trembled a little, he wanted to take a sip of tea and suppress the fire, but the sound of the saucer and the teacup colliding was too loud, so he had to put the teacup down.

"Mr. Li, you don't want these things too, do you?!" Su Jing looked at Li Yan and asked with some anger.

Li Yan replied: "Don't worry, the county will not ask for these things." However, please ask the county to distribute some food, guard the county seat, and recruit some brave people. ”

"Didn't we say yes before? Your countrymen are self-fed. Su Jing frowned and said.

"As long as the county respects the support for one year, and only to the soldiers who defend the city, those who are outside the city dare not reach out to the county honor." Li Yan explained.

Su Jing thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to accept it than to waste it to Yang Shoubei. So he nodded and said, "Yes, but the post is within five hundred." In case of emergency, the soldiers outside the city will assist in the defense, but the county will not respond separately. ”

"It's all up to the county." Li Yan was quite satisfied with this result, so he hugged his fists and said.
