Li Yan sent people into the city that afternoon and told the blacksmiths in the city to pack up their things and send someone to pick them up tomorrow. He knew that since he had annoyed Yang Shoubei, and the county seat was someone's land, it was better to move the blacksmith shop out first, so as not to suffer an unwarranted disaster.

Early the next morning, Li Yan asked Li Mu and twenty other soldiers to be ready, took them to the county seat, and took Zhou Blacksmith and them out. Li Zhong stayed behind and took care of the village.

"Fourth brother, do you need so many people?" Li Mu asked, carrying a bow and arrows on his back and a waist knife on his shoulder.

Li Yan glared at Li Mu and said, "Yesterday, you put the crossbow arrows under the noses of others, will they be polite?!" ”

"With their cowardice, just the two of us brothers can kill them all!" Li Mu said disdainfully.

Li Yan sorted out his bow and arrows and waist knife, waved his hand and said, "Let's go when you're ready." "None of them had spears prepared, and if there was a battle in the city, it would be street fighting, and it would be easy to use their waist knives.

When they arrived outside the house, Huang Desheng, Shi Jincai, Qian Er, and Zhao Datong were ready with sixteen soldiers. They prepared five or two carts, ready to transport as many things out of the blacksmith shop as possible. Four shields were also placed on the vehicle to provide cover for the soldiers in the event of a battle.

"Are you all ready?" Li Yan asked loudly.

The soldiers shouted loudly: "Ready! "They were all crossbowmen except six pikemen, and each of them carried two quivers, and a waist knife. These waist knives are all made by Blacksmith Zhou, the blade is sharp, slightly curved, the back of the knife is thick, the tip of the knife is tightened and sharp, and the chopping and stabbing are very easy.

Now that Li Yan's soldiers are few, it is natural to let them learn more things, spears, crossbows, swords and shields will let them practice. In the future, let them be used as seeds to train more elite soldiers.

The crowd set out, and after opening the city gate, the first group entered the county seat. Now that they also have official status, it is naturally much more convenient to enter the city, which also shows that Yang Shoubei has not yet wanted to move the blacksmith shop in the county.

When they arrived at the blacksmith's shop, the soldiers and craftsmen began to carry things, tools, iron stoves, stoves, iron, coal, everything that wanted to be carried to the carts.

Li Yan hurriedly ordered: "Pick up the important outfit!" The iron material is also brought, and the others will be talked about when there are vacancies. ”

With Li Yan's orders, the soldiers and craftsmen finally had a way to load things. And Blacksmith Zhou dispatched it from the middle, so that the loading speed was faster.

When they were finally ready, they took a short rest and set off for the city. But after walking for a while, he ran head-on into Yang Shou's men.

This time, there were not many people led by Yang Garrison, only less than fifty people. After all, he had come to seize the blacksmith's shop, not to fight. But after he saw Li Yan and them, he immediately asked his own soldiers to transfer the army. can block Li Yan in the county, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! This is his territory, but Li Yan and them can't go wild.

"Mr. Li, meet again." Yang Shoubei said with a smile on the horse. And his subordinates, holding spears, lined up and slowly forced Li Yan and them over. Seeing that their opponents only had about thirty people, and there were more than a dozen people who were not soldiers, their courage grew.

Li Yan gestured to Li Mu and asked Li Mu to command the soldiers to prepare to retreat. He stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "Yang Shoubei, what a coincidence." ”

It was difficult for the cart to turn around on the street, and Li Mu and the others could only push the cart and slowly retreat backwards. Yang Shoubei's subordinates slowly continued to approach until they were short enough to be able to attack with spears.

"What is Mr. Li doing? With so many things, it's not like you're going to move, are you? Yang Shoubei asked with a sneer on the horse.

Li Yan replied with a smile: "Yes, I want to move some things out, but it makes Yang Shoubei smile." ”

Yang Shoubei is not in a hurry, he is still waiting for his men to outflank Li Yan and their back road. So he said, "Ah, isn't this a stove?" Li Jiang didn't want to move the blacksmith out of the shop, did he? ”

Before Li Yan could answer, he heard Li Mu behind him shouting an order: "Array!" Take a shield! ”

He quickly looked back and saw a group of officers and soldiers appearing behind them, blocking the entire street. The officers and soldiers who came this time were well prepared, and they also brought bows and crossbows, as well as shields.

Li Yan took off the bow and arrow on his back with a sigh, and the wrench was always on the thumb of his right hand, and he could shoot the bow at any time.

Although Yang Shoubei didn't know that Li Yan's archery skills were very powerful, he could still see the bright bow and arrow in his hand. So he sent two of his own soldiers over and protected him on horseback with two shields. He shouted loudly from behind: "Li Yan! You are a little boss, you dare to be rude to Ben General, Ben will march today! Don't resist, no one else, it's none of your business! ”

Li Yan shouted loudly: "Yang Shoubei, our well water does not interfere with the river water, I am not under your control!" I advise you not to mess around, otherwise you will be the one who suffers! ”

"Hahaha, you dare to speak wildly when you are dying!" Yang Shoubei laughed loudly.

Li Yan took advantage of this opportunity to immediately take an arrow out, open his bow and shoot it, almost raising his hand. The feather arrow flew out with a whizz, shooting away the helmet of Yang Shoubei, who was still laughing.

Yang Shoubei only felt that the iron helmet was taken backwards, and hurriedly touched it upwards, and found that the helmet on it was gone. He immediately rolled over and dismounted. Hiding behind the horse's neck, he shouted loudly: "Li Yan! You dare to shoot arrows at Ben?! Crossbowmen, get ready to fire! ”

"Wait, wait!" A servant waved his hands and came to Li Yan's team on the side of the street, and shouted loudly: "I am the head of the Wang Ban of the county government, and I came on the orders of the county honor, and the two generals of the county zun announced that the two generals went to the county office. ”

Li Yan didn't speak, while Yang Shoubei shouted loudly: "What's the matter with the county honor?" ”

Wang Bantou replied loudly: "I don't know, I don't know, please ask the two generals to go to the county government quickly, the county is still waiting." ”

Both of them arranged a team and went to the county government one after another.

"My subordinates have seen the county honor."

"The end will see the county honor." The two clasped their fists and saluted Su Jing.

"The two generals, now is an eventful autumn, the thieves have re-raised the anti-flag, and the Cao thieves have gathered in Fang County. Now the thieves and bandits everywhere are ready to move, and both of them are the right-hand men of the county, how can they still fight each other? No matter what contradictions the two generals have, if the county is a middle-aged person, the two of them will release their previous suspicions. ”

At this time, the face of the county order was still very large, Yang Shoubei glanced at Li Yan and said: "Since the county is willing to be a middle-aged person, the general will no longer be held accountable." However, I can't take in any more people from me in the future, otherwise, huh! ”

Li Yan wanted Su Jing to clench his fists and said, "My subordinates thank the county honor." In the future, the subordinates will do their best to serve and ensure the peace of the county. ”

"Okay, okay, that's good." Su Jing said with a smile: "As long as the two of them are sincerely united, there will be hope for the peace of Qi County." ”
