Chapter 340: An Hancheng
The chief official of Anhan Mansion was Li Yan. He was from a poor family. Although he was well-read and had a good understanding of poetry and strategy, he was never valued. After Jiangzhou fell into the hands of the Black Armor Army, Fan Wei suffered from the shortage of talents in his hands, so he asked someone to post a list of recruitment in various prefectures and counties. Regardless of his background, as long as he was innocent and capable local people could be valued.
Li Yan saw this opportunity and showed his knowledge. He passed three passes and killed six generals, and finally became the chief officer of Hanyang Prefecture. Of course, his power was not comparable to that of the real prefecture master, at least the military power was not in his hands.
However, the lack of military power is not important to Li Yan. As long as he has the power in his hands, he is very satisfied that he can jump from a poor family to a government chief.
Since taking office, he has worked diligently and managed the Anhan Mansion, which has achieved great results and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Li Yan, who had been single for 30 years, also took the daughter of a scholarly family as his wife. Everything was developing in a beautiful direction, but it was at this time that the army invaded.
If he was to manage the local area in turn, Li Yan would consider himself second, and no one in Anhan dared to claim first, but he knew nothing about marching and fighting, so he immediately sent someone to the prefecture for help, and at the same time began to raise food and grass, rectify the armies, and prepare logistics for the frontline soldiers.
But unexpectedly, there was no news from the prefecture, and the war here was defeated. The army went to several counties in one day, with the strong army and no one could stop it, and they were approaching Anhan.
This made Li Yan's mouth bubbled so much that his mouth was filled with anxiety. He finally waited for a letter from the prefecture to stabilize his heart.
However, as the troops of each county retreated to Anhan, the attack of the Ganjun further accelerated, and now it is only fifty miles away from Anhan City.
"Brother-in-law, you stand here every day and it's almost turned into a husband-looking stone. It's getting late, and my sister asked me to ask you to go home for dinner."
A young man in armor climbed the city with his entourage.
"Hey, I always feel uneasy when I stay at home, so I can't help but come up and take a look. Yun Zhi, do you think we can stop the 150,000 Qi troops outside and insist on going to the lord to help?"
Li Yan turned around and looked at his heroic brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, we have high walls in Anhan City, sufficient food in the city, and the natural barrier of Nutao River protects one wing. If the army cannot attack, don't worry too much."
Liu Yunzhi sighed. His brother-in-law is indeed a good master in governance, but he is a little brave. As the head of the government, the enemy has not arrived yet, and he has no courage. What is this? Fortunately, he doesn't care about military power, otherwise he will lose half of his losses before he can get big.
"Go and go home for dinner."
Li Yan was about to go home when he suddenly saw the captain Jie Lei running up hurriedly, "Sir, you're not doing well, you're starting a fight!"
"What? Didn't the Ganjun still have fifty miles? Why did it start fighting? Why didn't you hear the warning bell at that city gate?"
Li Yan was shocked.
"No, no, lord made a mistake. It was the people of Wang Ziwei who fought with the people of the Tong family."
Xie Lei waved his hand quickly.
When Li Yan heard that it was not Gan Jun who was calling, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned again, because neither Wang nor the Tong family were good at dealing with this matter, so it was difficult to deal with.
"Yun Zhi, you go back to have a meal first, don't wait for me."
Li Yan sighed and said to Xie Lei: "Captain Xie, go and take me over and take a look."
Liu Yunzhi raised his sword eyebrows and followed, "Brother-in-law, Wang Tian is hard to talk to, I'll go with you."
Wang Tian was originally a garrison lieutenant in Zhangtai County. He was a member of the Fan Clan and had a good relationship with several other lieutenants. After these people led their troops to retreat to the city, they hugged Li Yan and ignored him. Although they did not cause any major problems, they had constant small problems, which annoyed Li Yan.
"This is okay, why don't we divide the troops into two groups and you have a quick journey, so go back first to bring more people?"
After Li Yan became the chief official of Anhan, he brought his brother-in-law to the city defense camp to be a team leader through his relationship. In this way, even if he had no military power, he would have some troops in his hands.
"good!"
Liu Yunzhi did not hesitate, quickly left the city, and then rode his horse toward the city defense camp's garrison. Under the leadership of Jie Lei, Li Yan walked towards the site of the incident in a sedan chair.
When they arrived here, the people confronted each other were already tense, while the constables in the yamen were all blue and swollen, squatting aside.
Seeing this situation, Li Yan's face turned dark. No matter who it was, hitting the detective would be hitting him in the face.
"Mr. Li is here!"
Xie Lei immediately shouted loudly.
When the people on both sides heard the shouts, they turned to look over, and the atmosphere eased a lot.
Li Yan walked out of the sedan chair, stood between two groups of people, and said sternly: "The enemy is in front of you, what are you going to do? Do you take me seriously?"
"Mr. Li, you are here just in time. You have to make the decision for us. The king's surname is too bullying, and he is simply indifferent to the king's laws!"
A fat man in green silk from the Tong family took a small step and walked to Li Yan to complain.
In fact, on the way here, Li Yan learned about the incident from Xie Lei. The cause of the conflict between the two sides was that Wang Tian's men teased the third lady of the Tong family who was about to leave the city, and was then beaten by the eldest son of the Tong family.
This time, he stabbed the hornet's nest. Wang Tian, who was protecting his shortcomings, immediately led people to surround the team that had the Tong family out of the city.
"Mr. Li, it is the enemy who has to be cautious at the moment. I suspect that the Tong family colluded with the Qian army. For the sake of Anhan's safety, it is best to take them back and interrogate them carefully!"
Wang Tian is a man with dark skin. If he wasn't wearing leather armor, he was no different from an ordinary country farmer based on his appearance. If someone who was not familiar with him was easily deceived by his dull and honest appearance.
"You fart, how could our Tong family collude with Qian Jun? Lord Li should not deceive him."
When Tong Yuan heard the other party slandering his family and colluding with the Qian army outside the city, he was shocked and angry and immediately stood up and said angrily.
"Yes, come back with me and check it out!"
Wang Tian's eyes looked at Tong Yuan were filled with coldness.
"Person Wang, this kind of thing is my official's responsibility. I won't bother you to worry about it. I'd better take your people back."
After seeing from the corner of his eyes that Li Yan saw that his brother-in-law had brought him over, his waist couldn't help but straighten and his tone became much tougher.
