Since everyone was willing to help, Zhang Yan naturally would not be polite, so he ordered these people to follow their original appearance, only hiding blades in the goods, and continuing all the way to Tianjing Pass. It's just that in the team, there are more or less Qingzhou warriors. Zhang Yan also took off his armor and disguised himself as a businessman's escort and blended into the crowd. Zhao Yun also wanted to go, but Zhang Yan persuaded him: "General Zhao has been in the army for a long time, and at first glance he is not a businessman, but it is difficult to hide the enemy in front of Tianjing Pass, so it is better to lead the army to follow behind." If there is a change before the pass, the general will lead the army to kill together, and then the battle of Tianjing Pass can be determined. Zhao Yun was helpless, so he had to follow Zhang Yan's words. When he looked at Zhang Yan again, he changed his clothes, how could he still look like a tycoon who had been in Taihang for many years, and he was a thug who looked at the home nursing home.

After waiting for the hundreds of people to go far away, Zhao Yun led the army slowly. The group of people scattered and walked to the front of the pass, only to see that in front of the pass, there was a walled gate, and there were two arrow towers on the left and right, and there was a team of archers on each of them. On both sides of the door, there were also spearmen who guarded it. Close to the gate, there was a scribe sitting behind a desk, and there were several knife hands behind him.

All merchants entering the customs must be inspected for prohibited items and then pay a fee according to the value of the goods. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, this pass has been corrupted and corruption has become commonplace. From the self-guarding generals to the small soldiers, all of them regard this Tianjing Pass as a way to make a fortune. As long as you pass from here, you always have to scrape a layer of oil and water down. When Jizhou changed the owner, the guard was worried, for fear that this fat position would be occupied by others, and after sending countless gifts, he had to regain his position as the keeper of Tianjingguan.

In the general's mind, life is nothing more than fame and fortune. With this little ability, thinking that it is delusional to worship the marquis, then it is better to guard this place and make a fortune. Of course, he also knew that this patio pass was a critical place, and there was no room for error. It's just that in the past, And, Ji, and Sili were all owned by Yuan Shao, and the exchanges at this pass were all their own people, and no matter how strict the defense was, it was useless. It's just a matter of making money.

Until a while ago, the Qingzhou army attacked and merged with the state, swept through the state like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and defeated the general Guo Yuan and the lead move, and finally even the third son of Yuan was defeated by the hands of the Qingzhou army, retreated from the Huguan, and ran away with his head. witnessed Yuan Xi's hasty escape from Tianjing Pass, and the Tianjing Pass guard was also shocked. He can do this position, and it's not that he has no ability. Naturally, he knew that if the Qingzhou Army took advantage of the situation to attack Sili, Tianjing Pass would be the only way to go. So these days, I also cheered up, and personally patrolled the city, not to mention, but also ordered all the soldiers under his command to strictly defend and not to slack off.

The order was given, and it was very severe. It's just that governing the army is not such a simple thing. Military discipline has been lax and corrupted, and if we want to return to the past, how can it be achieved overnight. The people below are used to collecting money, and then they want to retract their hands, who is willing, who is willing?

Due to the orders of their own generals, the people below pretended to send two more teams of people, and doubled the number of people patrolling, and the gate of the village also began to search the goods in a decent manner. It's just that it's just for strange faces and loners. For old acquaintances who are used to this road, as long as they say a few good words and add some more money, they still tacitly let it in.

In the eyes of the defenders, these people often traveled here to do business before the Qingzhou army came, so how could they be the Qingzhou army?

The patio guard was also on the wall at this time, he looked at the crowd that was gradually lining up under the gate, and couldn't help frowning, "Why are there so many people today?" ”

The adjutant general next to him smiled and said, "Since Yuan Sangongzi retreated, this place has become more and more crowded. The officials and families who did not evacuate in time, plus the merchants who came and went on weekdays, were normal. ”

The guard thought about it, and the number of people who came and went these days was indeed increasing. It's just a little bit more today than yesterday. After looking at the pedestrians who were queuing up for inspection under the rules, and then at the heavily guarded subordinates, he finally put his mind at ease and said to the deputy general: "We must also be strictly guarded, so as not to mix in the scouts of the Qingzhou Army." If there is a mistake, Hugh blames the ruthlessness of military law! ”

The adjutant general was busy answering the order and said yes. The patio guard gave another advice, and then Shi Shiran went to the mansion in the closed city. A few days ago, the defeated army was coerced by countless officials and civilians to evacuate together, passing through here, countless people have been ruined, and the guards took the opportunity to accept the concubine room, and now it is the time when the newcomer is favored, like glue. Thinking of the white greasy and soft body of the bride in the room, the guard couldn't help but feel a burst of fire in his heart, and a cluster of flames came out of the dantian under his abdomen.

When it was Li Xian's turn, he had a smile on his face and handed over a bag of money in his hand. The clerk was familiar with him, so he smiled and said, "I don't know what Brother Li brought this time?" The sergeant behind him wanted to go and search.

Behind Li Xian was a lieutenant of the Qingzhou Army, and the cargo was carrying a blade, how could he allow the enemy to look at it, so he stood tightly behind Li Xian, but his hand was clenched into his fist in his sleeve. If the person surnamed Li can't fool the enemy, Lao Tzu will kill the person surnamed Li first, and then kill the scholar after the case.

Li Xian showed a wry smile on his face, and secretly handed over some more things, and said, "It's still the same, just like in the past." Alas, this time I went south, but I am afraid that I will not come again for the time being. ”

The scribe looked into the pocket, only to see the golden light, and then looked carefully, and couldn't help but be happy, these gold coins looked like they were issued by Qingzhou as a hundred big money. This kind of money is issued in small quantities, and it is almost made of pure gold, the front is Xingping Chongbao four words, and the back is Qingzhou when one hundred four words. Because of its exquisite manufacture and high value, it was chased by the market as soon as it came out, and many people got the money and even took it back to collect it. As a result, the price of this gold coin is getting higher and higher, and now in Qingzhou, Xu, and Yan Prefectures, it can be exchanged for nearly 200 Qingzhou five baht, and if it is other five baht coins, it can be exchanged for more.

Well, this money can be swallowed by yourself and others. So he lazily put his pen on the book in front of him, waved his hand, and said, "Li Xian, ordinary mountain goods, go over." ”

Li Xian was overjoyed and was about to move forward, but the clerk saw the big man behind Li Xian, so he said: "Slow!" ”

Li Xian's heart tightened, but he stopped, and smiled at the clerk: "What else does my brother have to order?" ”

The clerk glanced at the lieutenant and said, "Who is this, why haven't you seen it before?" ”

Li Xian laughed and said, "Brother doesn't know, Bingzhou has been in turmoil recently, and the younger brother is afraid that it will not be safe on the way to and fro, so he recruited this person to be a guard." ”

When the clerk heard this, he didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile: "Such a big man, but he can also keep Brother Li safe." ”

Li Xian laughed a few more times, and when he saw that someone was urging him behind, he saluted and said, "Brother is busy, I'll go here." The lieutenant behind him didn't say a word, followed Li Xian behind Li Xian and slowly entered the gate, entered the gate, and slowly approached the gate of the Tianjing, and his heart fell.
