Since the decline of Guanzhong, the status of Wuguan has been very embarrassing, and it has not regained its former majesty.

In recent years, most of the exchanges between Guanzhong and the outside world are through the Tongguan Road, but in recent years, after the Qing army took control of northern Henan, many businessmen changed to take the Wuguan Road to enter the customs, and the importance of Wuguan was re-reflected.

The guard general of Wuguan is called Yuan Shouxi, who is Yuan Shizhong's cousin, who has followed Yuan Shizhong for many years and is his confidant.

Originally, Yuan Shouxi was stationed in Danfeng, and after Gao Yihuan defected to the Ming Dynasty in June and July, he was sent to Wuguan to strengthen the defense.

This time, Yuan Shouxi was sent to Wuguan, in addition to the need to strengthen the defense because of Gao Yihuan's surrender, the main task was to collect the taxes for passing the customs.

When Li Zicheng was strong, Xiao Yuan Ying shrank near Danfeng and did not dare to move, but now that Li Zicheng's strength was weak, he did not have the energy to pay attention to Xiao Yuan Ying, so Xiao Yuan Ying began to collect the cost of the caravan to pass the customs privately, even if it was the convoy of the Dashun Imperial Court, he would not want to pass the customs without giving money.

Previously, Li Zicheng's Dashun Imperial Court did not give Xiao Yuanying the slightest supply, so that Xiao Yuanying's brothers were poor, and now that they have the opportunity to make money, they naturally loot hard.

In the early morning of this day, on the head of Wuguan City, the soldiers dressed in tatters, as in the past, stood on the wall with spears in their hands.

Suddenly, a soldier saw a convoy coming in the distance, and his eyes immediately lit up, and his spirit was lifted.

In the city tower, Yuan Shouxi sat at a square table, with four dishes and a pot of wine in front of him, eating alone, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

At this time, a junior colonel suddenly broke in, his face full of joy, "General, business is here!" ”

Yuan Shouxi was in good spirits, his eyes leaked greed, he put down the wine glass, stood up immediately, took the war knife from the wall, and the little colonel hurriedly got him a helmet, and hurriedly walked out.

At this time, the convoy came to the outside of the city, and was stopped by the soldiers, and a merchant dressed in fine silk was brought along.

Yuan Shouxi glanced at him and asked, "What are you transporting?" ”

The merchant nodded busily, and said with a smile on his face: "General, the villain is transporting grain, and he is doing things for General Zhou." ”

"Zhou Ronghua!" A bright color flashed in Yuan Shouxi's eyes, knowing that Guanzhong had gone to buy grain through Zhou Ronghua before.

Before the Battle of Fuping, Li Zicheng's prestige was still very high, and although Yuan Shouxi collected road taxes, he did not dare to ask for more.

The teams that come and go are just like sending Hanako, casually giving some tea money.

Now that the news of Li Zicheng's defeat came, Yuan Shouxi was bold.

He glanced at the more than fifty carts outside the city, turned his head and stretched out three fingers to the merchant, and said, "If you hand over thirty percent of these grains, you will let you pass the customs." ”

The merchant was taken aback, "General, I'm here to deliver grain to the Shun army, and I used to pass the customs, but it wasn't at this price." ”

"You said it, that was before." Yuan Shouxi said coldly: "Ben will tell you that this is the price now." Today's level, you have passed. ”

After speaking, he gave the people around him a look, and several soldiers immediately surrounded him, so that he couldn't do it.

The merchant deliberately showed a look of panic on his face, and said tremblingly: "This~this~ Okay, the small one agreed to the general's conditions and left thirty percent of the grain." ”

"Haha~ Don't cry with a sad face!" Yuan Shouxi smiled and patted the businessman on the shoulder, "There is a shortage of materials in Guanzhong, you still have to make money, and you want everyone to make money!" Okay, go and let the convoy come over, don't be so cautious, take a long-term view, next time Ben will give you a discount! ”

As he spoke, he instructed his subordinates to go out with a hundred soldiers to prevent the group of merchants from turning around and slipping away.

Outside the city, Hu Dawei accompanied the leader of the caravan's guards, and when he saw Fang Jiayu bringing more than a hundred defenders out of the customs, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he didn't understand what kind of fame this was, and the guards also raised their vigilance.

In a forest not far from the pass, Wang Chang saw a defender coming out, his expression couldn't help but change, and he clenched his war knife.

At this time, Fang Jiayu came over and gave Hu Dawei a look, so that the convoy could settle down and did not act rashly.

When he returned to the convoy, the garrison colonel who came out first glanced at the grain truck, which was full of bags of grain, and immediately showed joy. He looked at it again, and the coolies who transported the grain did not have weapons, so he couldn't wait to urge: "Hurry up and enter the customs!" ”

Fang Jiayu waved his hand and let the convoy move forward, and then walked to Hu Dawei's side, and heard Hu Dawei whisper: "What's the matter?" ”

"Death, begging us to enter the customs!" Fang Jiayu sneered.

Hu Dawei's face was shocked, and then his eyes narrowed, "And this is the matter!" ”

Seeing that he was approaching the moat, Fang Jiayu didn't say anything more, and said in a low voice: "Guarding the grain that will be thirty percent, let's act according to the plan." ”

At that moment, the carts passed through the trench bridge one after another, and arrived at the gate, hundreds of steps away, Wang Chang stared at the convoy intently, raised one hand high, and the soldiers behind him clenched their swords one after another, ready to kill.

At this time, as soon as the vehicle arrived in Guancheng, Yuan Shouxi walked down from the city, with an excited face.

If he hadn't taken care of Li Zicheng a little, he really wanted to swallow all this batch of grain.

"Open the grain bag!" Yuan Shouxi stopped the vehicle and pointed at Hu Daweidao.

Hu Dawei nodded to his subordinates, and Fang Jiayu smiled: "Show it to the general!" ”

A soldier hurriedly stepped forward to untie a bag, Yuan Shouxi hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and grabbed a handful of rice, his face was full of joy, just about to subordinate him, pulled away the grain cart in front, Hu Dawei, who was standing aside, suddenly shot out and kicked him out.

Before Yuan Shouxi could react, his body flew out upside down, and at the same time, there was a sound of "poof" on his waist, and the moment his body flew upside down, the waist knife was pulled out by Hu Dawei.

With a "bang" sound, Yuan Shouxi slammed on the ground, and before he could react, Hu Dawei had already jumped up, stepped on his chest, the white light flashed, and the war knife was on his neck.

"Straight lady thief, do you still want food?" Hu Dawei roared angrily.

The sudden change stunned the defenders, and Fang Jiayu instantly roared, "Do it!" ”

The soldiers on the side of the grain cart drew their swords from under the grain bags one after another, and cut down the defenders around them.

The elite soldiers of the Wei Wu Army, where can the miscellaneous soldiers of the Xiao Yuan battalion be compared, and one by one the tigers enter the flock.

Hu Dawei asked people to tie up Yuan Shouxi, and then led the men and horses to kill the defenders at the gate.

The Wei soldiers who were in ambush outside the city, seeing that the tiger was mighty, Wang Chang raised his hand and waved it down, and he roared, "Kill!" ”

The Wei Wu soldiers, who had been hiding for a long time, suddenly roared angrily, and followed Wang Chang out of the woods, rushed across the trench bridge, and rushed into the pass.

On a high mountain in the distance, Gao Yihuan collected the clairvoyant mirror, and immediately ordered: "Order Zhao Daxian to seize Shangnan County immediately!" ”
