Chapter 83 The VIP
That afternoon, Yang Shoujie suddenly came to Qilizhai with more than 100 soldiers and gathered all the people who were busy in the fields.
Li Yan got the report immediately, so he quickly came out to see what was going on.
"Yang Shoujie." Li Yan bowed and said, "What are you doing? Where did these people offend the Shoujie?"
Yang Shoujie rode on the horse and said condescendingly: "There is no offense. However, a few people who farmed for me ran away and I will look for it."
To be honest, Yang Shoubei was a little afraid of Li Yan before, but for a blacksmith shop, he was willing to pay 200 taels of silver to protect him every year, so he looked down on Li Yan three points. Just a blacksmith shop, can he sell 200 taels of things a year? Recently, he also found out that Li Yan's background was just a small grain store, and the grain store went bankrupt. From this point of view, Li Yan's family did not have any background. If there was a background, the grain store would not have been able to go bankrupt.
Li Yan smiled and bowed, saying, "Yang Shouge, have you made a mistake? These are all people from my village, how could they farm for you?"
Yang Shoubei sneered, waved the horse whip, and said, "It's not only the tenant Yang's tenant farmers who ran away in the past two days! There have been twenty of them running away. Let's not talk about them before. This time, Yang has marked them. Whether there is one or two people? You can tell at a glance!"
At this time, Li Yan was stunned. He thought about it carefully and found that the two young and strong people who came two days ago seemed to have injured their left forearm. One said it was a fall, and the other said it was injured by accident when he worked. Li Yan didn't care at that time. Now it seems that this is the mark that Yang Shoubei mentioned, and he doesn't know what kind of mark it is.
However, the two young and strong people were training in the village. Although these concentrated farmers were among the young and strong people, they were the first people to enter Qili Village.
Li Yan bowed and said, "Governors, these are all people from my Qili Village, and there are no tenants who escaped from you."
Yang Shoubei did not talk to Li Yan, but ordered: "Come on! Bring me all the young and strong people inside! I want to see when they can hide?!"
The soldiers of Yang Shoujian scolded the crowd, picked all the young and strong out, and lined up in front of Yang Shoujian's horses.
"Check!" Yang Shoubei ordered loudly: "If you have the word "Yang" on your left arm, pull it out for me!"
Li Yan stopped him and said, "Slowly! Yang Shou Ge! These are all people from my Qili Village. You can't check if there is no garrison tenant!"
Yang Shoubei glanced at Li Yan and said lightly: "You can't help but, President Li!" Before Yang Shoubei finished speaking, he stopped and looked at the direction of the village.
The sound of "王" and "王" came. Li Yan turned around and saw Li Mou leading the soldiers to move forward step by step in the formation. At the front were two rows of long spearmen, and behind were four rows of crossbowmen, each row was ten people. The border soldiers took their weapons on both sides of the formation and walked towards this side silently and resolutely.
"What do you want to do?" Yang Shoubei pointed at the formation with a horse whip and asked with a stern look. At the same time, his soldiers quickly gathered around his horse, squeezed together in a mess, and used a spear and a waist knife to face the formation that was pressing over.
Li Yan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous about the garrison, we are training."
Soon, the formation moved to a distance of thirty steps from Yang Shoujie and the others. Li Mou ordered "Stop!", "Long spear, sit!"
With a "wow", the two rows of spearmen in front sat down, pointing the spears diagonally at the sky, revealing the crossbowmen behind. The crossbowmen were holding crossbow arrows and aiming at Yang Shoujie and his team.
When Yang Shoujie saw this formation, he immediately rolled down from the horse and hid among his soldiers. He shouted loudly: "Li Yan! What are you doing?! This general is a garrison! There is an appointment from the court! You are rebelling! You want to kill the nine clans!" Then he shouted loudly at his soldiers: "What are you doing when you are stunned?! Array! Array!"
But his soldiers tried hard to retreat. They did not bring shields, and faced with other people's crossbows, whoever was in front died first. His soldiers retreated in chaos, and also kept arching Yang Shoujie backwards, squeezing him and his horse to separate.
"Yang Shoujie, don't be nervous. We are training normally and we have it every day." Li Yan still comforted him as before, but at the same time, he also asked the people who were concentrated to leave the place first.
"Brother-in-law, hurry up and say something soft!" His cheap brother-in-law whispered: "We don't bring a shield. If we fight, we will suffer."
Yang Shoubei scolded angrily: "Baoshi! How can you not bring a shield?! It's time to come out for an outing?!"
"We didn't expect that Mr. Li would dare to take action." The brother-in-law said with a sad face.
"Where is my horse? Get my horse over!" Yang Shoubei ordered in a low voice.
But his soldiers were all crowded together and kept retreating, trying to get the horse back, but it was quite difficult. His cheap brother-in-law tried several times, but was squeezed away by the retreating soldiers. Not only did he not get the horse back, but he was almost squeezed down.
Yang Shoubai angrily cursed "bad". Then he looked on tiptoe and found that Li Yan's troops did not continue to chase, but were still standing in place, as if they were training. However, when he saw the crossbow with a cold light on the crossbow, he felt murderous intent.
"President Li." Yang Shoujie finally shouted loudly in the crowd: "This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. There is no tenant in your people who have escaped. It is my people who have not figured out the situation and encouraged me to come and look for it. This is all a misunderstanding."
Li Yan signaled to Li Mou at this time. Li Mou understood and ordered loudly: "You are doing well! You are all sitting down and resting now!"
With a "wow", all the crossbowmen sat down and took down all the crossbow arrows to prevent accidental injury. The border soldiers on both sides were still standing, looking at Yang Shoujie and others vigilantly.
At this time, the soldiers of Yang Shoujie finally stopped retreating, and the chaos eased a little. Yang Shoujie finally asked his personal soldiers to lead the horses to him.
"President Li is a good soldier!" Yang Shou got on the horse and said to Li Yan: "No wonder he was able to behead more than 200 thieves. He is so confident!"
Li Yan heard the anger in Yang Shoujie's words, so he bowed and said, "We don't know that Yang Shoujie is coming, so please ask Yang Shoujie to have a hang."
"Yang has a good memory, so we'll have a date later!" Yang Shoujie waved his whip, turned his head, and fled with his men.
Li Mou looked at Yang Shoujie who was retreating and smiled and said, "Coward! You dare to come and cause trouble!"
