In the next two days, Li Yaonan fulfilled his promise and took Zhang Xiaozhou and others to learn the art of war.

At noon on the third day, Lin Zhiyuan's troops arrived late, and the people of Nanquan cheered happily, and some cried with excitement.

"Brother!" Li Yaonan was the first to greet him.

Lin Zhiyuan got off his horse, pointed to the two armored soldiers behind him, and introduced, "These two are General Wang Can and Li Dusi."

"I have met two adults." Li Yaonan cupped his hands in salute, followed by County Magistrate Yang and Yan Xiaowei: "I have seen three adults."

Several people exchanged a few words, settled the [-] soldiers under the banner, Li Yaonan quickly told them the current situation in Nanquan, the enemy's vitality was seriously injured last time, even though they were repelled by them, the lie would definitely be exposed, the reason why there was no action , he suspected that the enemy's successor was coming.

General Wang Shen's face was not good, he didn't expect that there were still troops in the enemy.

Lin Zhiyuan seemed to understand his thoughts, and said indifferently: "The Southeast Army will arrive soon. I communicated with my brother a few days ago, so you don't have to worry."

General Wang Shen's face softened a little, and he said grandly: "What is Lin Dusi talking about, I am a soldier of the imperial court, and I will do my best to save the people of Nanquan."

After some benevolent and righteous words, Li Yaonan lowered his eyes slightly, watching their expressions carefully from the corner of his eyes.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't take it seriously, it was not easy to coax General Wang Shen, otherwise it wouldn't have been delayed for so long, he smiled flatteringly and said: "Your Excellency is righteous, I admire you."

Li Dusi said calmly, "Although we didn't bring many troops, the general thought that he would be able to resist until reinforcements arrived."

General Wang Shen laughed heartily, adding some confidence in his heart: "What Li Dusi said is very true."

Li Yaonan turned a few turns in his mind, and he vaguely understood that Li Dusi should have come here voluntarily, and General Wang Can was fooled by his elder brother.

However, no matter what he thinks in his heart, since he came to Nanquan, General Wang Can has no way out, otherwise the governor will definitely not be able to explain it, so he can only go to the dark one way.

Li Yaonan curled the corners of his lips, people would have selfishness, he didn't believe that General Wang Shen didn't want to climb up, otherwise he wouldn't be easily instigated by his greedy demeanor.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't change his expression. They talked for a while, and then he asked to go to the city wall to have a look. Now that the enemy's successors have not yet arrived, they may take the initiative to attack.

General Wang Shen thought for a moment and agreed to his proposal.

Of course, Li Dusi is meaningless, wealth and wealth are in danger, if there is nothing to do without them before the reinforcements arrive, it will not only offend the governor but also fail to gain any benefits. He was greatly surprised by Lin Dusi's brother-in-law. He did not expect that this person saved Nanquan's crisis by himself. He is indeed a talent.

"Master Li, please." Li Dusi said with a smile, generals and military officers have nothing to do, Li Yaonan can't block their way, smart people will only make friends, presumably this time when the battle in Yunnan is brought to the imperial court, Lord Li will definitely have a bad future Limited.

"Sirs, please?" Li Yaonan walked in front to lead them the way. After climbing the city wall, he saw the deep trenches and the traces of war. Lin Zhiyuan only sighed in his heart, his younger brother really married the right person. From his point of view Look, any general in the court would probably not be able to do better than my brother-in-law.

Several people discussed for a while, and quickly decided on an attack strategy. Li Yaonan was completely relieved, and readily retreated to the second line. His main position is a civil servant, and he must not take away the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. In short, this is also his intention in the letter to ask the elder brother to bring more troops.

There are too few soldiers under Lin Zhiyuan, and it is only one of them that they can't keep Nanquan. Disadvantages, all kinds of disadvantages will be revealed after a few years. No one in power will like generals who make their own decisions. This is a taboo in dispatching troops.Wang Shen will be the leader of the eldest brother and Li Dusi, and he will take the blame for this.

Li Yaonan has no guilt about this, and has prepared two plans in his hands. If General Wang Shen is not greedy for merit, he will smooth out the disadvantages of the matter. However, judging from the current situation, it seems impossible, which just saves him a lot of money. something.

Lin Zhiyuan told him in private that if it wasn't for the purpose of recruiting more soldiers, he would have arrived by now. General Wang Can and Li Dusi are both good people, so let him decide what to do.

Li Yaonan smiled faintly. He is not against smart people seeking profit for themselves. He is one of them. General Wang Can and Li Dusi can come to the rescue this time. He appreciates it in his heart. However, after the war is over, the benefits will come naturally With the emperor's reward, everyone can be regarded as mutual benefit and reciprocity. It's just a settlement. If it's worth dating, continue. If it's not worth dating, he doesn't owe others anything.

At night, the army had had enough rest. General Wang Can, Li Dusi and Lin Zhiyuan took advantage of the night to lead 3 horsemen into three groups and headed for the enemy camp through secret roads.

Li Yaonan guarded the city with peace of mind, always paying attention to the enemy's movements. At dawn, the place where the enemy camped was screaming and killing, and blazing fires ignited everywhere. The soldiers on the city wall were very excited. enemy.

The enemy general was taken aback. He didn't expect Nanquan to have reinforcements. Si Yan regretted it in his heart. Nanquan was not equal to Fengshan. Will come in handy.

Lin Zhiyuan and others bluffed, intentionally surrounded the enemy, and attacked from three directions.

Si Yan didn't dare to fight, but felt that he was surrounded by enemy troops from all directions, so he hurriedly ordered to retreat. He didn't know how many reinforcements came from Dajin.

The enemy army retreated very quickly, Si Yan felt great hatred, but he had already missed one time, Li Yaonan led a night attack, and opened the city to lure the enemy the next day, which cost him tens of thousands of hands, now he dare not make the slightest mistake .

General Wang Shen gave an order and set fire to the enemy's camp, and the sky was full of flames. Looking at our army's victory banner, cheers came from up and down in Nanquan City.

The army quickly gathered in formation and headed back to the city. This time, Li Yaonan wrote the report of the victory of the enemy's defeat, and marked that it would be delivered by air, and sent it to the capital in [-] li. Several distress letters were sent, but there was no news from the Governor's Mansion, so he asked other generals for help in desperation.

General Wang Shen was very satisfied. With this victory, even if the southeast army came, his military achievements would be fixed on the iron plate. As long as he protected Nanquan from being attacked in the future, his promotion would definitely not be a problem.

Li Dusi was in a happy mood, thankfully he had a good relationship with Lin Zhiyuan, a good brother, loyal enough, and he did not forget to help him when he was promoted and made a fortune. Friendship, who dares to do things that violate military orders.Of course, except General Wang Shen, he would never remind him of this point, he had the same thoughts as Lin Zhiyuan, and needed a shield.

The three of them have their own plans in their hearts, but on the surface they look very harmonious. Lin Zhiyuan knows in his heart that he belongs to the southeast army. If the limelight is too much, what awaits him may not be his achievements, but the fear of the emperor. My brother-in-law has deep thoughts .

This victory, the whole Nanquan was celebrating, only County Magistrate Yang was frowning, Nanquan's food and grassland could have lasted for half a month, but now there are [-] more troops, and there is no supply from the court, what should we do.

Just when he was worrying, the first batch of grain and grass sent by Lin Yixuan arrived, everything was complete, and there were three hundred arrows and crossbows.

County magistrate Yang burst into tears of gratitude and called out Li Yaonan for his benevolence.

Yan Xiaowei was moved in his heart, if there was no food and grass, the situation in Nanquan would be even worse.

Lin Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, feeling that Lao Huai was relieved that his younger brother was sensible.

General Wang Can and Li Dusi were lamenting that Mr. Li married a good husband. No matter what Li Yaonan's intentions were, he was able to raise food and grass out of his own pocket. This move was admirable.

Li Yaonan smiled slightly, and felt extremely proud when he heard the compliments from others, the little husband gave him a very good face.

"This is..." Wang Shenjiang was puzzled, looking at the ten arrows on the cart, a look of inquiry flashed in his eyes.

"Brother invented the Liannu. It's not bad. Fortunately, I have blueprints. Fu Lang just ordered someone to make it, and he sent it right away." Li Yaonan replied with a smile, and his attitude was so frank that no one could doubt it.

"Oh?" Wang Shenjiang's eyes flashed.

Li Yaonan just smiled and said nothing, the Liannu was just built to rescue the people in Nanquan, don't put the big hat of hiding weapons on his head, his actions have always been aboveboard, standing on the moral line supreme point.

General Wang Shen picked up the crossbow and fiddled with it for a while, then said in thought: "It seems a little different."

Li Yaonan had heard from her husband earlier that the Governor put the merits of the three-arrow crossbow on his brother-in-law, but now the ten-arrow crossbow was invented by the eldest brother, the trickiness of it is self-evident.Such a big handle, I hope Wang Shenjiang will not let him down, and said with a smile: "That's natural, this kind of continuous crossbow with ten arrows fired in succession is more practical than three-arrow continuous crossbow, my brother just drew the blueprint , let the lower officials take it, it was originally intended to be used for hunting, but who knows..."

"Hehe." General Wang Shen smiled, whether he believed it or not, Li Yaonan couldn't find any faults in this statement.

General Wang Shen glanced at Lin Zhiyuan with a smile, and sincerely praised: "I didn't expect Lin Dusi to have such abilities."

Lin Zhiyuan's eyes drooped, and he said modestly, "Your honor."
