The north of Taiyuan, the place where Shiling is.
In the early Han Dynasty, this place was not a serious passage, but as the rain continued to wash away, there was a road here gradually. During the Tang and Song dynasties, the Turks broke through here and went south, invading Taiyuan, and later the real Shiling Pass was built.
Later, a large pass was built in the Song Dynasty, but there were still no birds.
Because of the nature of the loess high slopes, it is difficult to maintain water and soil, and it is a little inattentive, or even exceeds the range of logging. These originally tall soil plateaus will be eroded by rainwater and are filled with gaps everywhere.
For example, Hangu Pass and Tong Pass.
In the pre-Qin period, as long as Hangu was blocked, tens of thousands of men could not open. As a result, there was an extra road and Hangu was abandoned. The same was true for Tongguan. Later, it was a system, and it could not be simply called a Guancheng.
And now, in Shiling, a new road that was discovered by no one in the early Han Dynasty and later appeared after being washed away by wind and rain.
There is a big and small village in Shiling.
This copycat is where Wang Huai uses to transfer goods.
In the village, Wang Huai's subordinates, Zhang Wan, were stationed.
Zhang Wan turned out to be very poor.
The troubles of the rich are what to eat, and the troubles of the poor are what to eat.
Hunger was once Zhang Wan's dream demon.
Zhang Wan hated himself for being poor and also for those rich. He often scolded those rich, for being unkind and doing many evil things, and would definitely die of thunder and no burial place in the future.
Simply put, Zhang Wanqiufu.
But he just hates the rich, not the money.
The fundamental reason why he hates those rich people is that the money of those rich people is not Zhang Wan's.
So Zhang Wan wants to be rich, just like those rich people.
Then Zhang Wan met Wang Huai.
During this period, Zhang Wanzhong worked hard for Wang Huai. He either led smuggling and crossed mountains and rivers, or brought people to fight for the black and black, or wiped the butts of the Wang family. However, the Wang family had a purpose, and Zhang Wan was ordered to be honest. His only idea was to make more money.
As for whether smuggling is right or wrong...
I am so poor and can’t afford to eat. Is there anything wrong with finding a way out for myself?
Is there anything wrong with this reason?
I was honest before, but I didn’t even have enough food and clothing.
Now I'm not honest, oh, there's wine, meat and women.
So Zhang Wan realized it.
An epiphany.
He understood a truth! Those rules with clauses are used by the rich to restrain the poor. If they follow those rules, they will become poorer and poorer! Only by breaking those rules can they become rich!
Zhang Wan believes that this is the only way out for him as a poor child to make a comeback!
ha?
Why not take the formal path?
(ˉ▽￣￞～)Tsk~~, can you get rich immediately with a regular way?
All you need is to get rich!
If you do it today, you will be rich tomorrow!
Today, my hands are empty, my abdomen is rumbling, and tomorrow I will be full of gold and silver, wine, meat and stew!
If you really take the right path, from a big head soldier to a team leader, you have to climb a considerable step, from a team leader to a garrison leader, and then from a garrison leader to a medium-level military officer and marquis, it is another huge step. And the higher you go, the more difficult it is, and there are many competitors. How can you guarantee that you must be the one who climbs up?
It’s better to do some small moves under the gangsters and make money quickly!
If you do it well, you can leave and work alone. At that time, you will be the boss of Zhang's family. Bah, you will be the first master of the Zhang family! Isn't that wonderful?
The plan was good, but this time, I saw a lot of walking at night.
Some time ago, Zhang Wan's captain stuck and broke it.
So this time, he can only go on the battle himself.
...)…
Everyone has a reason.
Everyone can find all kinds of reasons for what they do.
The rich think that since I am rich, why can’t I do it?
Those who have no money think that since I have no money, why can’t I do it?
As for what we are going to do, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong.
What matters is where the butt is.
After all, as soon as the chrysanthemum blooms, all flowers will be killed!
In the night.
Li Li looked up at the night sky.
The moonlight shines, as if it is a cool and solemn meaning.
The hundreds of light cavalry following the surroundings were scattered in shelter and raised the bonfire to rest, but because the moonlight was very good tonight, you could see your figures in the shadows.
It is said that if someone from Youzhou wants to join the cavalry, he may take the north route, so Li Li should pay more attention and respond halfway. If Cao's army chases him, they may call for reinforcements or reach out for rescue according to the situation.
Although the Taiyuan land is a basin sandwiched among the mountains, the terrain is also broken. Moreover, due to the soil, this place cannot contain rain. It rains a lot, and there are yellow mud ponds everywhere. After a few days of sunshine, it is hard beds, and it is like a stone.
2k
Under the bright moon, wherever you see, there are some deep or shallow trenches.
"Hey, it's been a few days," a soldier came to Li Li's side, "The dry food we brought is almost finished, how long will it take to spend here?"
"Why, are you impatient?" Li Li asked, "Or do you think Zhao Shichang has any good ideas?"
The Shi Chang smiled, "What do I think... I'm just asking for my son's sake, just ask..."
Li Li and his men stayed in the wild for several days in order to meet the "eyeline" that might have escaped from the northern line. Because there is no GPS positioning like later generations, nor is there a device that can send signals from each other at many distances, Li Li and others can only find traces of the "eyeline" in this area, relying on their own scout detection and ability to survive in the wild.
Li Li raised his hand slightly and pointed to the front. Although he knew that it was pitch black in front and there was nothing. "Didn't you see it these two days? Some people and horse marks appeared here..."
Shi Chang was silent for a while, "But... I didn't mean to suspect you, the chief of the town... I just said that there were ruts in the trace... If I really escaped from there, can there be still cars on this road?"
This is a reason, a very correct reason.
Li Li was also silent for a while, and then said: "At least, we have to understand why there are cars here!"
This is also a reason, and also a very correct reason.
Shi Chang waved his hand to express his opinion of Li Li. "But, the village chief, we really don't have much dry food."
Li Li nodded, "I understand, I will leave some margin."
"Okay." said Shi, "Natun Chief, please rest, I'll be on duty."
Li Li was not very polite, and patted Shi Chang's shoulders, and then prepared to turn around and go back to rest.
Um?
Li Li suddenly glared and his body froze. He reached out and grabbed the long beside him, and pointed his hand, "Over there, look, is there a little fire shaking?"
"What?" The eldest son beside him was also stunned, and then he narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction Li Li pointed, "Well... it seems yes... But this direction is not east?"
"Yes." Li Li frowned. If he came from Youzhou, he would come from the east, and the jumping fire was in the south, which was the direction of Taiyuan.
Li Li patted the long and said, "You go and call a few good guys, take the guys, and touch them with me to take a look..."
Shi nodded and turned around silently. Soon after, a small group of people was summoned and followed Li Li towards the direction of the flashing fire.
Zhang Wan took some people to rest in shelter.
The vehicles are scattered and the people are scattered.
Can the smuggling teams still count on how orderly they are?
Some people were tired and fell asleep looking for places to fall, while others were yawning and adding some wood to the bonfire.
The wood I used to get burned, so in order to avoid accidents at night, of course, I need to add some firewood. Otherwise, once the bonfire is extinguished, what kind of beasts in the mountain will come over?
There are sheds built at the bonfire, and the terrain is relatively low, so it is generally not easy to be discovered in the distance.
"What are you doing? Holding a torch, don't you be afraid of being seen?"
"What are you howling? I don't hold a torch to shine, how can I see the firewood? You are fucking capable, you go over and look for it in the dark!"
『…』
The reason is very powerful and I can't help but refuse to accept it.
The torch sways, and the figures sway.
With a "whoosh", an arrow flew over like lightning, and a smuggler on duty shot to the ground.
The smuggler screamed loudly and flew on the ground.
Under the faint light of fire, dark blood flowed out.
Before the smuggler could fully react, he shot several of the smugglers, and immediately shot several of the smugglers, alarming the smugglers in hidden places.
The panicked smuggler hid behind the hidden objects, and some people couldn't help but curse, perhaps calling the other party unethical, or using such scolding to encourage themselves.
They all go to bed!
Is there any raid like this?
It's so fucking unethical!
Too unspecified!
Zhang Wan's face was gloomy.
He never expected that he would encounter the patrol racist of the cavalry in this place!
Originally, there were no cavalrymen in this place?
This is not within his plan!
but……
Don’t look at the smugglers being cruel, it depends on who they are.
If you really encounter a tough guy, you will be soft and silly.
Zhang Wan brought out his subordinates without any mercy when they had money, but when they really wanted to exchange their lives, they might not be able to compete for the first place. In a blink of an eye, several people sneaked out of the place where the torch could not shine...
Zhang Wan first sent someone to negotiate, hoping to use money to buy the way, but unexpectedly, he was cut off his finger and put it back!
There is nothing to talk about.
Li Li, opposite Zhang Wan, didn't want to talk about it either. What he wanted was military merit!
Just kidding, which one is more important than the future of military merits?
Li Li was mainly because he was not enough manpower, but he was also brave, so he simply suppressed the situation with a bow and arrow while calling for support. This was actually risky. If the smugglers on the opposite side were determined and rushed up in a swarm, Li Li might not be able to withstand it. Li Li and his subordinates, only about ten people, only seven or eight bows, and a hundred people on the opposite side rushed in a mess. After shooting seven or eight, they might be approached by the other party to the melee circle.
"Is it sure it's a cavalry?" Zhang Wan asked.
One of his confidants looked at the guy who was wailing behind his fingers, "That's right, he said, it's indeed a subordinate of the cavalry..."
"In Taiyuan City?" Zhang Wan asked urgently, "Do you recognize it?"
"I said I've never seen it before..." my subordinate asked, "Head, what should I do now?"
Zhang Wan's eyes were wandering, looking forward for a while, and then looking back at the goods in the hidden place. Gradually, an idea emerged.
"This won't work!" Zhang Wan said in a deep voice, "I have an idea! I'll listen to me, don't fucking howl, are you listening or not?"
"You just say it, commander!"
『Yes!』
"Didn't you notice it? There are not many people on the other side, there are probably just a dozen," said Zhang Wan, "We just need to rush out together and we can kill them directly!"
"Run directly..."
"Then what, the other party's bow and arrow are so powerful..."
Zhang Wan was anxious and cursed, "You idiots, they must be waiting for reinforcements. If you don't rush out now, would it be possible for the reinforcements on the opposite side to come at dawn?! Ah? A group of idiots, as long as they rush out and destroy them, you will share the money and goods you earn this time, and there will be an extra bounty! With money, it is equivalent to having wine and meat, and women! In a word, do you do it?!"
The smugglers immediately became restless. In fact, they were all miserable. They always envy those wealthy families who are noble and live in the deep courtyard every day. They are afraid of death, but they are even more afraid of poverty. After embarking on this path of smuggling, aren’t they just to make more money? I heard that they had a bounty together, so after thinking about it, their morale rose.
Zhang Wan continued: "Bild money and women must fight for their lives. If they don't fight for their lives, who will give it to you for nothing? Everyone will fight! At that time, whoever is hindered will be killed! Only forward will there be only a dozen people over there, and about one is dead, and they will be rich and powerful even if they fight for their lives! Whoever can kill one on the other side, I will give you a double bounty! "
Zhang Wan didn't know that Li Li actually had hundreds of cavalry, but there were only a dozen of them fighting Zhang Wan at the moment.
With Zhang Wan's leader, more than a hundred smugglers who were aroused by fierceness immediately rushed out of the hidden place.
Li Li and his men missed the arrows and shot several people. However, under the influence of the group, the other smugglers were stimulated by money and women and rushed towards Li Li with hissings and shouting. Some of the clever ones began to circumnavigate to Li Li and others. The scene was very bad for a while and it was difficult to control.
The smuggler quickly rushed into the thirty steps. Li Li and others kept firing the crowd with arrows, and people kept screaming and falling to the ground. However, the follow-up people found that Li Li and others were not large, so they howled. Not only was the morale not affected by the people being shot, but they were even more excited, thinking that as long as they approached Li Li and others, they could win.
As a result, Li Li threw the Five Elements Thunder at Zhang Wan and others...
At the third update in the middle of the night, the movement was almost double the critical strike.
With a bang, Zhang Wan and others, which were originally somewhat imposing, suddenly fell into chaos!
If Zhang Wan and others were calm and orderly, they would find that under such a big movement, no one was killed by the Five Elements Thunder, and even injured...
It was dark and the lights were so dark that Li Li tried his best to throw it into places with many figures, but the Five Elements Thunder is just that. The lethality is too far from that of later generations. The only advantage is that the movement is large enough. The pungent smoke makes these smugglers tremble and crawl around in a mess.
In fact, at this time, the smugglers rushed out from both sides also came around, and then Li Li divided two people to shoot at the side. Normally, it was impossible to suppress them. Unfortunately, the five elements thunder roared, and the smugglers who walked around the side were stunned. It was as if they were used to immobilize the smugglers, from moving targets to fixed targets, and immediately two or three people were shot, and fell to the ground with a grunt, screaming endlessly.
There is actually no serious road on the side, high and low, and in the dim light, you will fall if you run fast. After someone around you is shot, others panic, and they fall into a ball and run backwards, instead avoiding the subsequent several missing arrows...
Zhang Wan, who was supervising the battle behind, jumped and cursed. He originally thought that he could overwhelm Li and the others this time, but what he didn't expect was that such a majestic charge would be knocked back by a Five Elements Thunder!
"What are you afraid of?! Only when these five elements thunder are close can you be injured! What are you afraid of?!" Zhang Wan roared angrily, "If you don't rush out now, will you wait until dawn and the cavalry will come before rushing?"
"No, otherwise we can get the roof out?"
"Yes, we can also let the animals rush over! What's that called, Fire Cow, Uh, Fire Mule Formation!"
『This method is good!』
"Oh my god!" Zhang Wan was so angry that he jumped, "The beast rushed out, even if he won, who will pull this car? You will pull it! When reinforcements come, we will still look for animals everywhere!"
『Then...what should I do?』
Zhang Wan was silent for a while, "Push two cars and push them over! In this way, we will not be afraid of bows and arrows! The Five Elements Thunder will not explode us behind the car!"
"Okay! There's a way!"
A group of thieves responded in a mess, throwing the faint voice in the crowd aside, "That's my idea..."
The vehicle was pushed out, which was indeed effective, blocking the shooting route of Li Li and others. At the same time, Li Li did not carry many five-element thunders. Although he once again bombarded these smuggling thieves, his recovery time was not as long as the last time. Seeing that the smuggling thieves were pushing the cart and about to enter the hand-to-hand combat, he heard a burst of rapid horse hooves coming, and then he saw many cavalry figures popping out of the dim night. Then, a wave of arrows came and roared, and the smuggler fell to the ground with a thunderous sound!
Seeing that the reinforcements on the opposite side came and there were a large number of people, the smugglers who were defeated repeatedly finally collapsed completely. Seeing that they could not bring back these chaotic situations, Zhang Wan also turned around and fled silently, not even caring about the soft and smuggled goods in the hidden place.
Li Li and his men chased after him for a while, but the night was dark and difficult to search. In addition, several war horses accidentally stepped onto the cracks of the rocks, not only injured the horse's hooves but also fell soldiers. Li Li could only order to prohibit chasing him again.
After firing the torch again, Li Li entered the hidden place of the smuggler.
The covered felt cloth was lifted to reveal the goods inside.
Chapter completed!
