Li Yan rode a donkey under the leadership of Wang Jinbao to the barracks where Wang Xueli's department was located, there was actually a lot of attention on the way, if other Ming troops were intercepted and killed, it would be a credit to others in vain.

Wang Xueli didn't dare to carry it, so he sent someone to investigate early, and learned that Chuang Camp sent a person dressed as a scholar over, and the boss in his heart didn't think so, and secretly thought to himself: "This Li Chuang still despises me, and even sent a scholar to fool me, really I Wang Xueli is a good match?" I have to give it a dismount! ”

Even if he gave the order, more than 100 cavalry under his command were all draped, with long knives out of their sheaths, riding high-headed horses, and standing on both sides of the camp tent, and he himself changed into iron armor, with a long knife with an oxtail hanging from his waist, and the big horn sat on the horse outside the camp tent, and the sitting elephant naturally did not dare to compliment.

Li Yan walked down the mountain for about an hour, in fact, the descent could have been faster, but in order to avoid the scouts of the other Ming troops, he copied the path, and the path was difficult to walk took a lot of time.

"This Wang Xueli is really appreciative." Li Yan looked at the garrison of Wang Xueli's department from a distance, and couldn't help but smile and said, it seems that Wang Xueli wants to give himself a dismount.

Da-da-da-da.

The two cavalrymen quickly approached, carrying the Ming army's flag on their backs, and they seemed to be scouts of Wang Xueli's department.

"Who's coming?" The first cavalryman asked in a loud voice when he reached about fifty paces.

"On the orders of my lord, come and talk to the king!" Li Yan bowed on the back of the donkey.

"Do you have a certificate?" The cavalryman did not intend to despise letting Li Yan pass, but continued to question.

"Does this person deserve a certificate?" Li Yan smiled and pointed to Wang Jinbao, who was holding a donkey in front.

Wang Jinbao is an old acquaintance, and he was caught by these two cavalrymen last time, Wang Jinbao raised his head and missed a smiling face, which can be regarded as reassuring the two cavalrymen.

The two cavalrymen slowly approached with their horses, both wearing blue cloth armor, bright iron helmets on their heads, and ring gimbal armor on their arms, standard border army dress, both of them were quite fierce and vicious, with messy beards, but judging from the color of their skin, they were afraid that the nutrition was not enough.

"Sir, forgive me, the stakes are high, and my family must always put safety first!" The cavalry at the head of the group said loudly, saying forgiveness, but the movements of the body were very honest, and the cavalryman behind him was still pressed on the hilt of the sword, as if ready to face the enemy at any time.

"It's okay, it's okay, today's Guan Wang is a strong general, if he can be a robe in the future, it will be a blessing for the two families" Li Yan smiled haha.

This scholar is a bit bold! The two cavalrymen secretly praised him, but he didn't panic at all when he held the blade, and he had some ability.

"Then please invite the gentleman into the camp." The two cavalrymen bowed their hands, and immediately beat their horses to line up on Li Yan's left and right, escorting Li Yan to the barracks.

As soon as he came to the gate of the barracks, Li Yan knew that it was a small scene before, Wang Xueli's big gift was left here, the horse teams on both sides had already unsheathed their swords, and their eyes were round, as if they were going to skin him alive, Wang Jinbao couldn't help but tremble when he saw such a solemn scene, and he couldn't walk anymore.

Li Yan's face was also a little ugly, after all, more than a hundred elite soldiers were lined up on both sides, and their eyes were still staring at you, the other party's intentions were not very clear, such a scene would be nervous for everyone, and the cold sweat on Li Yan's back had already begun to come out.

Turning over and getting off the donkey, Wang Jinbao was about to stand up straight, his head seemed to hang to the ground, and beads of sweat flowed down his forehead.

"What are you afraid of, if you want to kill us, you will do it......" Li Yan said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Wang Jinbao cheered up a little, but he was still sweating, and the cavalry around him sneered.

"Sir, but the donkey has been riding for a long time, and he still can't get used to it?" The cavalry behind him asked playfully.

"Where, it's just that the king has put on such a big battle, and if he doesn't carefully study and experience, isn't it a waste of the king's good intentions?" Li Yan sneered at each other, although he was not calm in his heart, but Li Yan knew that the negotiation just couldn't lose the aura, otherwise the subsequent negotiations would fall behind.

With that, he took a step, walked through the heavily armed cavalry, and walked straight towards Wang Xueli's tent.

"This scholar has some guts!" Wang Xueli looked at Li Yan who was striding over, and praised the cronies on both sides, but praise is praise, and he still has to give it.

"Is there no one in the camp Li Chuang? You actually sent a scholar to talk to me? Aren't you afraid that I'll scare him into peeing when I yell? Hahahaha" Wang Xueli stared at the tiger and scolded loudly, and the surrounding soldiers were also laughing, after all, how many people dressed like this can be seen in the pickled place of the military camp?

"The king general, my lord is the king of the world, and you are just a general, you want to talk to each other but insult each other, if you are a minister in the same hall on a different day, I am afraid that it will only increase the embarrassment." Li Yan stood solemnly below, arching his hand.

These words are reminding Wang Xueli, no matter how down-and-out Li Zicheng is, he is also a famous hero who moves the world, and you Wang Xueli is just a general, now that the army is down, you can be arrogant, if you really surrender to the army, are you so arrogant that you are not afraid of settling accounts after the autumn?

"Are you threatening me?!" Wang Xueli pulled out the oxtail knife at his waist, his eyes glared at Li Yan angrily, and the cavalry around him also made an attacking appearance, as if they were about to kill Li Yan on the spot.

"Aren't you afraid that I will slash you and repay the court for meritorious service?" Wang Xueli asked.

"How much is the head worth under it? It's the king, the court owes a year's military salary, I don't know what kind of life the wife and children are living now? You are all strong men, and the court that can't even afford to give up the money still wants to die for him? Li Yan smiled slightly and said fearlessly.

In fact, it doesn't matter if the wives and children are these things, because most of these Shaanxi Ma Jun are strong men around 20 years old, and many of them have been in the army for several years and have not had time to marry wives and have children.

Wang Xueli's eyes rolled twice when he heard this, the scholar in front of him was really not simple, and he pinched his life at once, but he still refused to show weakness, and said: "You scholar is very articulate, what is your position in the camp?" If Li Zicheng sends a small soldier scribe to entertain me, I will chop off your head and send it back! ”

"Join the army on the right side of the Xiachuang Army, Li Yan" Li Yan bowed his hand and saluted.

"Joined the army at such a young age? Sure enough, there is some ability. Wang Xueli grinned, and it could be seen that he still admired Li Yan.

"Thou shalt tell me, I am always in good shape, why do you want to be the thief?" Wang Xueli asked, touching the beard on his chin.

"If the general does not surrender, within three months, there will be some people here who will sacrifice the head of the general to the king." Li Yan said-for-tat.

When Wang Xueli heard this, his brows furrowed, don't look at everyone listening to him now, obeying him, he has really reached the limit of patience, and he won't blink when he kills him, in fact, even now he is relying on the "happy" life after the break to tempt everyone, so he can barely maintain his morale.

"Isn't being an officer or a thief more comfortable than being a thief? What's more, the overseer has promised to pay the salary next month. Wang Xueli blinked his eyes and said.

"Chuang Wang Xingyishi, how can you call him a thief? As for Yang Sichang, ask yourself if you will believe his nonsense? Li Yan slowly opened his mouth to refute, and then began to further talk about the Dafa: "My lord, repeatedly defeated, since the second year of Chongzhen to today, it has been eleven years, during which there has never been a surrender to the court, although the soldiers and horses were scattered, and the death of relatives did not give up, even if the original lord Liu Bei was just like this, my lord went out of the mountain this time, and should implement the policy of exempting the land from the land, and divide the fields of the rich to help the poor, you are all from poor backgrounds, surnamed Zhu and those gentry eat and drink spicy food all day long, but you have to climb the ice and lie in the snow here, Isn't this an atrocity of the Communists? If you follow King Chuang, calm the world on a different day, pay homage to the marquis, and divide the land and give land, wouldn't it be a good thing? ”

In fact, there are many allusions that these military men don't understand, but some of them still understand, such as the division of land, and then the old Zhu family's eating and drinking spicy food, they understand these, right! Why did he stand guard for the princes and grandsons of the old Zhu family? Are you going to be scolded for being scolded? Is this reasonable?

"How much land can King Chuang give us?" One of the cavalrymen was the first to ask, unable to hold back the doubts in his heart.

"Fifteen acres for men and three acres for women and children!" Li Yan had already finalized a specific policy with Li Zicheng, and with the growth of the Chinese population, the actual contradiction between man and land was very acute, and Li Zicheng even wanted to learn from the Tang Dynasty to divide forty acres into one person, but this number was really unrealistic.

"Fifteen acres of land, if King Chuang really wins the world, we don't have to be tenants?" Several cavalrymen began to whisper, the Chinese's obsession with land has never changed due to the change of identity.

"It's a thing that doesn't make a difference, I really followed King Chuang, and when the world is pacified, I have to join the army, right?" A few high-spirited companions immediately scolded when they saw that they were so "unambitious".

"That's it, and it's comfortable to be a thief, rob those landlords, mother, I have long seen that they are unhappy, and they are thieves, and they are stunned to chop a few to dissipate their anger!"

"That's not it, those young ladies in the old man's family are all smart, and we can always catch a few thieves to have fun......"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The cavalry had a gossip discussion, Wang Xueli didn't expect his subordinates to be disturbed by Li Yan's mouth cannon, and he was also quite aggrieved, and said: "Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, don't you have to hide in Yufu Mountain?" Let me ask you, if I really voted for King Chuang, how did King Chuang treat me? ”

"King Chuang said, if you have a share of him, you will have a share, what to do, what to be, who is under your command, listen to and respect, the cavalry under his command will be rewarded, and the arrears of military salaries in the Ming court will be doubled, and they will be hit to your hometown in the future, and if you want to pick up your relatives, all of them will be settled" Li Yan lightly put forward Li Zicheng's conditions.

Family members are indeed a problem, after all, they don't carry their families with them when they fight, but it's not a big problem, they are recruiting troops, not military households, even if it's the opposite, the court can't retaliate against their families, not to mention that it's very normal to lose a number or even hundreds of people on the battlefield, not to mention that they are still guest soldiers, if the court really has the ability to go to their hometown according to the household registration, then the Ming Dynasty will not die.

"Mr. Li, you are a great talent, I Wang Xueli admires you!" Obviously, Li Yan's condition moved Wang Xueli, Wang Xueli's serious face relaxed, and he immediately put the knife into the sheath and bowed to Li Yan.

"I just disturbed Mr., please forgive me." Wang Xueli walked down, grabbed Li Yan's hand, grinned and said, "This scholar is different, everything he says is the head of the way." ”

"It's okay" Li Yan also showed his generosity, of course, he couldn't help being stingy: "I just don't know how to think about it?" ”

"I can do this, but this matter is not small after all, we still have to discuss it carefully, otherwise let King Chuang make a plan, if we think it's okay, we can do it, sir, you also know, I'm just a general, and there are still a lot of officials on the top, if it weren't for us being cavalry and acting as scouts, I wouldn't be able to set up a separate account." Wang Xueli also has his own difficulties, just like he said, no matter how he says it, he is just a boss.

"I am naturally clear about the king's general worries, so it's better to go back to the king first......

"Eh, you don't have to" Wang Xueli grabbed Li Yan's arm and said with a smile: "Let Wang Jinbao go back and report a message, Mr. came from afar, I always have to do my best to be a landlord, and live first, this place is much better than the mountains." ”

This guy is careful, he knows how to leave a hostage, Li Yan scolded in his heart, but he had no choice but to obey his fate, so he turned his head to look at Wang Jinbao and said: "Go back and tell King Chuang, the matter has been negotiated, let King Chuang come up with a plan, and then send someone who has believed in it to come over......"
