Chen Yongfu stared at Li Yan silently, and after a while, he said to Su Jing: "Su County Order, you are responsible for today's matter!" All the food and grass of my army, you must supply it in full! ”

Su Jing replied unhurriedly: "This county is not able to do it, and it can only supply thirty percent of grain and grass, please forgive Vice General Chen." ”

Chen Yongfu said coldly: "This is an errand sent by the imperial court, if it is because of the non-cooperation of your county, let the thieves occupy and return to Germany for a long time, can you afford this responsibility Su County?" ”

Su Jing still said indifferently: "This county is just doing what it can, and we can't let the people of Hexian County fall under the command of thieves in order to support Deputy General Chen's grain and grass." As for the culpability of the imperial court, the county will write a letter of defense at the meeting, and it will bear as much responsibility as it should be, and it will definitely not suffer on behalf of others. ”

"Good!" Chen Yongfu shouted loudly and said, "You just wait for the impeachment of the general!" But before that, if we can't supply enough food and grass to our department, the sons and daughters mutinied, and there is a place for injury, I can't help it! ”

Li Yan continued: "If your ministry really mutinies, and the commander really can't stop it, the last general will have to do his duty to exterminate all these rebel soldiers." ”

Chen Yongfu looked at Li Yan funny, and the contempt in his eyes was not concealed at all.

Li Yan didn't refute, but just looked at Chen Yongfu very confidently.

Yang Shoubei sat and didn't dare to speak, but he really wanted to say that in fact, there was a lot of grain in Qi County, and it was all in the homes of the people in the village, as long as the soldiers went to grab it, the food was enough for them to eat for a year. But in the first place, there is still a patrol of the imperial history of Gao Mingheng, if this is said, being impeached is enough to remove him from his post and put him in prison, he is not a high-ranking military attaché.

And Chen Yongfu was also jealous of Gao Mingheng at this time, and he didn't dare to rob him. If it weren't for Gao Mingheng here, the problem of grain and grass would not be a problem at all.

Gao Mingheng finally spoke at this time: "Vice General Chen, if you can't control the army, you won't be merciful!" Su County's work in reassuring the people, even His Majesty has praised it, Vice General Chen wants to make Qixian County become a thief everywhere, and the people are not happy? ”

Chen Yongfu stood up and arched his hand: "Farewell!" After speaking, he left the back hall with Chen De and his own soldiers.

Yang Shoubei looked at Gao Mingheng with a stiff face, and didn't dare to stay any longer, got up and bowed and hugged his fists and said, "Then the general will also retire." ”

When Yang Shoubei also left, Gao Mingheng shook his sleeves and said dissatisfiedly: "Vulgar martial artist!" Arrogant and unreasonable! After that, he looked down at the wine stains and oil stains on his official uniform, stood up and bowed his hand to Su Jingyi, and left.

At this time, only Li Yan and Su Jing were left in the back hall. And Su Jing didn't have the arrogance he had when he was to Chen Yongfu just now, and he asked nervously: "General Li, if Vice General Chen's subordinates really mutinied, what would it be?" ”

Li Yan arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured, as long as Vice General Chen's subordinates dare to mutiny, they will definitely be able to be wiped out quickly." ”

"That's an army of five thousand." Su Jing still said uneasily.

Li Yan smiled and said: "Before, 'Yuan Laoshan' and 'One Dragon' came to attack, but there were tens of thousands of horses, didn't it also make the humble position break in one go?" It's just 5,000 people. ”

Su Jing finally reassured at this time. When he heard that tens of thousands of thieves were coming, he packed up his things and prepared to escape. Who knew that Li Yan would attack in the evening, and when the night came, the news would come and destroy the thieves. On the second day, when the results of the battle were counted, more than 2,000 thieves were killed. At this time, he heard Li Yan say that there was no pressure to deal with Chen Yongfu's army, so he felt that there was nothing to fear.

After not worrying about his life, he naturally thought of being promoted and making a fortune. So he asked again: "If the rebels loot, wouldn't this year's summer tax be ~"

Li Yan assured: "Rest assured, the county has already arranged everything. Even if the rebels are raging, it will not have any impact on this year's summer tax. ”

Su Jing was completely relieved at this time, since his life and future were guaranteed, what else did he have to worry about? So he smiled and said: "That's good, you go to the barracks to prepare quickly, just in case." After that, he instructed the head of the king's team: "Immediately gather all the yamen and come to the yamen to be on duty, and if there is no delay, they will be reformed!" ”

Li Yan and Wang Bantou both hugged their fists and said, "Obey." ”

Li Yan and Wang Bantou went out of the county office, and Wang Bantou asked in a trembling voice: "General Li, you give the villain a real truth, will the officials and soldiers from Kaifeng really mutiny?" ”

"I don't know, you just need to protect the county government, and we will take care of the rest." Li Yan said.

Wang Bantou immediately asked, "What about our family?" We are the only ones in this city. ”

"There are a thousand soldiers in the city, what are you afraid of?" Li Yan comforted: "As long as they dare to make trouble, within an hour, I will lead troops to pacify them." He didn't care whether Wang Bantou believed it or not, he just tried his best to keep these people from messing around. As for Chen Yongfu's 500 men and horses in the city, he didn't know how long it would take to calm down.

Wang Bantou nodded and said, "Okay, good, it's good to be even." "These officials are okay with the people, let them compete with the army, it is really difficult for them.

The two separated, and Li Yan immediately went to the head of the north city and held a meeting in the city gate tower to report.

"This Chen Yongfu, didn't he say that he was a good three-percent? We're all ready for him, and he's still complaining about us, what a villain! Li Mu slapped the table and scolded.

Li Yan stopped: "Now is not the time to scold!" Let all the teams be ready, levy the people, and prepare the arrows. There were also more gunpowder and buckshot bullets. ”

"Chen Yongfu really dares to plunder?" Li Zhong frowned and asked.

Li Yan replied: "I don't know, be prepared." If he really dares to come nonsense, he must crush the troops south and north of the city as soon as possible. Then concentrate his forces and annihilate his own troops in the city, which is his main force. As long as Chen Yongfu is controlled, the other troops will not be much of a threat. ”

"Well, the defeated soldiers outside the city, just like last time, when we have our hands free, let the people go out to search, and soon the hidden danger can be eliminated." Li Mu nodded and added.

Li Yan ordered: "Inform the troops outside the city and get ready." The two puffs of smoke at the head of the city were signals, and after seeing the signal, they immediately blocked the exit of the barracks and prevented the officers and soldiers from escaping. Then send people to the villages to report and ask them to prepare for defense. ”

After receiving Li Yan's orders, their personal soldiers immediately took action and passed orders everywhere.

At the beginning of the Shen period, the people had been requisitioned into the city and began to transport arrows, gunpowder, and projectiles from the treasury into boxes to the city and outside the city.

The workshops in the city were also notified, and the people got off work in a panic, and they all went back to their homes, closed their doors, and prepared kitchen knives and sticks, waiting for the chaos to come. In places such as the blacksmith's workshop, the bow and arrow workshop, and the gunpowder factory, there are teams of soldiers stationed in the army, and the craftsmen defend these important strongholds.
