Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2614 The reasons are all reasonable

  North of Taiyuan, at Shiling.

In the early days of the Han Dynasty, this was not a serious passage, but as the rain continued to wash away, there gradually became a road here. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Turks broke through here and invaded Taiyuan. Later, they built The real Shiling Pass.

  Later the Song Dynasty built a large pass, but it was still useless.

  Because of the nature of the high slopes of the loess, it is difficult to maintain water and soil, a little carelessness, or even beyond the scope of felling, these originally tall plateaus will be eroded by rainwater and there will be gaps everywhere.

   Such as Hangu Pass and Tongguan.

  In the pre-Qin period, as long as Hangu was blocked, Wanfu could not open it. As a result, there were more roads later, Hangu was abolished, and Tongguan was the same. After that, it was simply a system, and it could not be simply called a Guancheng.

   Now, here in Shiling, there is a new road that was discovered by no one in the early days of the Han Dynasty, and then emerged after the wind and rain.

  In Shiling, there is a small cottage.

  This cottage is where Wang Huai used to transfer goods.

  In the cottage, Wang Huai's subordinate, Zhang Wan, is stationed.

   Zhang Wan turned out to be very poor.

  The trouble of the rich is what to eat, and the trouble of the poor is what to eat.

  Hunger was once Zhang Wan's nightmare.

  Zhang Wan hates himself for being poor, and he also hates those rich people. He often scolded those rich people for being unkind and doing a lot of evil.

   To put it simply, Zhang Wanqiu is rich.

   But he only hates the rich, not the money.

  The fundamental reason why he hates those rich people is that the money of those rich people does not belong to Zhang Wan.

  So Zhang Wan wants to be rich, rich like those rich people.

   Then Zhang Wan met Wang Huai.

   During this period of time, Zhang Wanzhong devoted himself to Wang Huai. Or leading smugglers across the mountains, or leading people to fight against gangsters, or wiping the **** of Wang's children. A child of the Wang family, but he has an order, and Zhang Wan is only cautious when he is ordered. His only idea is to make more money.

   As for whether smuggling is right or wrong...

  It’s so poor that I can’t eat anymore, so I can find a way out for myself, is there something wrong?

  Is there anything wrong with this reason?

  Before, I was honest and honest, but in the end I didn’t even have enough food and clothing.

  Now she is dishonest, hey, there is wine, meat and women.

   So Zhang Wan realized.

   Epiphany.

  He realized a truth! Those rules and regulations are used by the rich to restrain the poor. If you follow those rules, you will become poorer and poorer! Only by breaking those rules can you become rich!

  Zhang Wan believes that this is the only way for him to get ahead as a child from a poor background!

ha?

  Why don't you take the normal way?

  (ˉ▽￣～)Cut~~, can you get rich immediately through regular ways?

   What I want is to get rich!

   If you work today, you will be rich tomorrow!

   Today my hands are empty and my stomach is full of bowel sounds. Tomorrow I will be able to fill my pockets with gold and silver, with wine, meat and naizi!

If you really follow the right path, you have to climb a big step from a big soldier to the team leader, and then from the team leader to the commander, it is another level, and from the commander to the rank of a middle-level officer, it is another level. Huge steps, and the more you go up, the more difficult it is, and there are so many competitors, how can you guarantee that you must be the one to climb up?

   It's better to do some small tricks under the black enterprises, bah, under the gentry, and get money quickly!

   If you do a good job, you can also leave and do it yourself. At that time, you will be the treasurer of the Zhang family, bah, the first master of the Zhang family! Isn't it wonderful?

  The plan was well thought out, but this time, if you walk too much at night, it will be hell.

  Some time ago, Zhang Wan’s subordinate captain snapped and broke.

  So this time, he can only fight in person.

  …щ(｀ωщ)…

  Everyone has a reason.

  Everyone can find all kinds of reasons for what they do.

  The rich think that since I have money, 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 to do, whether it is right or wrong is not important.

   What matters is where the **** is.

   After all, when a chrysanthemum blooms, all flowers will be killed!

  In the darkness.

   Li Li looked up at the night sky.

  The moonlight was shining, and it seemed to bring a sense of coldness and chill.

   The hundreds of Qingqi who followed around them scattered in sheltered places and set up a bonfire, preparing to rest, but because the moonlight was very good tonight, they could see their figures indistinctly.

  It is said that some people from Youzhou want to defect to the hussars, and they may take the north route, so Li Li should pay more attention and meet them halfway.

  The land of Taiyuan, although it is said to be a basin sandwiched between mountains, is also broken. And because of the soil quality, this place is not very able to hold rainwater. When it rains, there are yellow mud ponds everywhere. After a few days of sun, the bed is hard and dry like a stone.

  Under the bright moon, as far as the line of sight is concerned, there are some deep or shallow trenches.

  『Head, it’s been a few days,』 a soldier approached Li Li, and said, 『The dry rations we brought are almost finished, how long will we be here? 』

  『What, are you impatient? ’ Li Li asked, ‘or Zhao Shichang has any good ideas? 』

  The senior officer smiled, "What do I think... I'm just asking for my son Lang, just ask..."

   Li Li and his people stayed in the field for several days in order to meet the "eyeliner" who might escape from the northern line. Because there is no GPS positioning like a later generation, and there is no equipment that can send signals at a distance from each other, so Li Li and others can only be in this area, relying on their own scouts to detect and communicate with the wild. The ability to survive, looking for traces of "eyeliner".

  Li Li slightly raised his hand and pointed to the front, although he also knew that the front was pitch black and there was nothing, "Didn't you also see these two days, there are some traces of people and horses in this place..."

  Shi Chang was silent for a while, "But... I didn't mean to doubt you, Tun Zhang... I just said that there are ruts in this trace... If you really escaped from there, can there be 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 need to understand why there are cars here!" 』

  This is also a reason, and it is also a very correct reason.

  Shi Chang waved his hand to show that he listened to Li Li. "However, Tun Zhang, we are indeed running out of dry food. 』

  Li Li nodded, "I understand, I will leave some allowance. 』

  『That line. Shi Chang said, "Tun chief, rest, I will be on duty." 』

  Li Li was not too polite, patted Shi Chang's shoulder, and was about to turn around and go back to rest.

Ok?

   Li Li stared suddenly, his body froze, he stretched out his hand to grab the hair on the side, pointed with his hand, "Over there, look, is there a light shaking?" 』

"what? Shi Chang beside him was also taken aback, then squinted his eyes and looked in the direction Li Li was pointing at, "Well...it seems to be...but this direction, isn't it to the east? 』

"Yes indeed. 』Li Li frowned. If it is coming from Youzhou, it is coming from the east, and this jumping flame is from the south, that is, the direction of Taiyuan.

  Li Li patted Shi Zhang, "You go and call some good players, bring them to work, and touch them with me to have a look..."

  Shi Chang nodded, turned around silently, and after a while, he gathered a small group of people, and then followed Li Li towards the direction where the flames were flickering.

   Zhang Wan and some people are resting in a sheltered place.

   Vehicles are scattered, and people are also scattered.

  Can the smuggling team expect to be orderly?

  Some people were exhausted and found their own places to fall asleep, while others were yawning and adding some wood to the campfire.

  The original wood is burned out. In order to avoid accidents at night, of course we need to add some firewood. Otherwise, once the bonfire goes out, who knows what beast in the mountain will touch it?

   There is a sheltered shed where the bonfire is located, and the terrain is low, so it is generally not easy to be found from a distance.

  『What are you doing? Shaking around with a torch, you're not afraid of being seen? ! 』

  『Howling? If I don't hold a torch to light it, how can I see the firewood? You are **** capable, you go and find it yourself in the dark! 』

  『…』

  The reason is very strong, and I can't help being dissatisfied.

  The torch shakes, and so does the figure.

  With a sound of "嗖", an arrow flew like lightning, and a smuggler on duty shot down to the ground.

  The smuggler screamed loudly and thumped on the ground.

  Under the faint firelight, dark blood flowed out.

  Before the smugglers could fully react, arrows shot one after another, shooting several smugglers at once, and alarming the smugglers who were in the hiding place.

   The panicked smugglers hid behind the concealment, and some people couldn't help but yelled, maybe they were scolding the other party for not practicing martial arts, or they were using such scolding to cheer themselves up.

   They are all sleeping!

   Has anyone engaged in a raid like this?

   It's so **** immoral!

   Too careless!

  Zhang Wan's face was gloomy.

  He never expected to meet a patrolling ranger of hussars in this place!

   Wasn’t there always been no cavalry in this place?

   It wasn't in his plan!

but…

   Don't look at the cruelty of the smugglers, it depends on who they are targeting.

  If you really encounter hard stubble, it will be soft.

  The subordinates brought by Zhang Wan are merciless when they have money, but when it is really necessary to change their lives, everyone may not be eager to be the first. No, in the blink of an eye, several sneaky people crawled out of the place where the torches couldn't shine...

  Zhang Wan just started to send people to negotiate, hoping to use money to buy a way, but he didn't expect that his fingers were chopped off and returned!

  There is nothing to talk about.

   Li Li, who was opposite Zhang Wan, didn't want to talk about it either, what he wanted was military merit!

   Just kidding, which is more important than this little money and military career?

   Li Li was mainly short of manpower, but he was also bold, so he simply suppressed with a bow and arrow while calling for backup. Doing so is actually risky. If the smugglers on the opposite side made up their minds and rushed forward in a swarm, Li Li might not be able to withstand it. Li Li and his own men, that is, a dozen or so people, only had seven or eight bows, and the hundred or so people on the opposite side charged wildly, and after shooting seven or eight, they might be approached by the opponent into the melee circle.

  『Are you sure it’s a hussar? ’ Zhang Wan asked.

  One of his confidantes squinted at the guy who had his finger cut off and wailed behind him, "That's right, he said, it's indeed the hussars..."

  『In Taiyuan City? Zhang Wan hurriedly asked, "Do you recognize him?" 』

  『I said I haven’t seen it before…』 The subordinate asked, 『Head, what should we do now? 』

  Zhang Wan's eyeballs wandered, looking forward for a while, and looking back at the goods in the hidden place for a while, and gradually, an idea emerged.

"That does not work! Zhang Wan said in a deep voice, "I have an idea!" Listen to me, stop **** howling, are you listening or not? ! 』

  『Leader, just say it! 』

"Yep! 』

  『Didn’t you find out? There are not many people on the opposite side, about a dozen or so," Zhang Wan said, "We just need to rush out together, and we can kill them directly!" 』

  『Go directly...』

  『Then what, the opponent’s bow and arrow are amazing...』

  Zhang Wan was anxious, and cursed, "You idiots, they must be waiting for reinforcements. If you don't rush out now, will you wait for the reinforcements to arrive at dawn?" ! ah? A group of idiots, as long as you rush out and kill them, you will share all the money and goods earned this trip, and there will be extra rewards! Having money means having wine, meat, and women! In a word, do you want to do it? ! 』

  The smugglers immediately became agitated. In fact, they were bitter at first, and they always envied those high-ranking, wealthy families who lived in deep houses every day. They were afraid of death, but they were even more afraid of poverty. After embarking on this smuggling road, isn't it just to make more money? At this time, I heard that there is a bounty for going together, and after thinking about it, morale increased.

  Zhang Wan went on to say: "Money and women have to be fought for. If you don't fight for your life, who the **** will give it to you for nothing?" Everyone has to fight! At that time, whoever is holding back his mother's legs will be hacked to death! Only forward, there are only a dozen or so over there, both left and right are dead, desperate and rich! Who can kill the opposite one, I will give double bounty! 』

  Zhang Wan didn't know that Li Li actually had a hundred cavalry, but Li Li was fighting Zhang Wan at the moment, and indeed there were only a dozen or so.

   With Zhang Wan leading the fire, more than a hundred smugglers who were aroused to smuggle suddenly swarmed out of hiding places.

Li Li and his subordinates shot arrows and hit a few people, but the rest of the smugglers, under the influence of the group and stimulated by money and women, rushed to Li Li's place with hisses, and some were clever. But it started to circle around to the side of Li Li and the others, and the scene was so bad that it was difficult to control.

The smugglers rushed thirty paces quickly. Li Li and the others shot arrows at the dense crowd, and some people fell to the ground screaming, but the follow-up people found that there were not many Li Li and the others Just howled, not only was the morale not affected by those who were shot, but they were even more excited, thinking that as long as they got close to Li Li and the others, they would be able to win.

   As a result, Li Li threw the Five Elements Thunder towards Zhang Wan and the others...

   In the middle of the night, this movement is almost a double critical strike.

  With a bang, Zhang Wan and the others' queue, which was still somewhat imposing, suddenly fell into chaos!

  If Zhang Wan and the others were calm and orderly, they would have discovered that under such a big commotion, no one was killed by the Five Elements Thunder, and no one was even injured...

Although Li Li tried his best to throw it where there are many people, but the five-element thunder, um, it's the same thing, the lethality is too far behind compared with the later generations, the only advantage is that the movement is big enough to stab The gunpowder smoke from the nose made these smugglers tremble, crying for their parents and crying for their mothers.

In fact, at this time, the smugglers rushing out from both sides also circled around, and then Li Li divided two people into shooting sideways. Normally, they couldn't be suppressed, but unfortunately, the five-element thunder roared and came around from the side. The smuggler was stunned immediately, as if he had been cast a body-holding spell, changing from a moving target to a fixed target. Immediately, two or three people were shot, and fell to the ground with a groan, screaming endlessly.

In fact, there is no serious road on the side, high and low, and under dim light, if you run too fast, you will fall down. When someone around you is shot, others panic, and they fall into a ball, facing backwards. Running, on the contrary, avoided the next few arrows...

   Zhang Wan, who was supervising the battle behind, jumped up and cursed. He originally thought that he could overwhelm Li Li and the others this time, but what he never expected was that such a majestic charge was repelled by a five-element thunder!

  『What are you afraid of? ! The five-element thunder will only be injured if it is close! What are you afraid of? ! Zhang Wan roared angrily, "If we don't rush out now, why don't we wait until dawn and the cavalry arrive before rushing?" 』

  『No way, how about we take the roof out? 』

  『Yes, we can also let the animals rush over! What is that called, fire ox, uh, fire mule array! 』

  『This method is good! 』

  『Good damn! Zhang Wan was so angry that he jumped, "If the animal rushes out, even if it wins, whoever pulls this cart, you **** pull it!" When reinforcements arrive, we're still **** looking for livestock! 』

  『Then...then what should I do? 』

  Zhang Wan was silent for a while, "Push two carts, push them over!" In this way we are not afraid of bows and arrows! Those five-element mines couldn't blow us behind the car! 』

"it is good! There is still a way! 』

   A group of thieves responded in a chaotic manner, throwing aside the weak voice in the crowd, "That, that's my idea..."

  The vehicle was pushed out, and it did have some effect, blocking the shooting line of Li Li and others. At the same time, Li Li didn't carry many five-element mines. Although the smugglers were disturbed again, the recovery time was not as long as last time. Seeing the smugglers pushing the cart, they were about to enter hand-to-hand combat. , I heard a rush of horseshoes coming, and then saw the figures of many cavalry jumping out of the dim night, followed by a burst of arrows whistling, and the smugglers planted down!

Seeing the reinforcements coming from the opposite side, and there were a lot of them, the smugglers who had been defeated again and again finally collapsed completely. After Zhang Wanjian couldn't get back the chaotic situation, he also turned around and ran away in silence , Even the soft and smuggled goods in the hiding place are ignored.

Li Li led his men to chase for a while, but after all, the night was dark and it was difficult to search. In addition, several horses accidentally stepped on the cracks in the rocks, not only hurting the horseshoes but also dropping soldiers. Li Li could only give orders No further pursuit.

   Lighting the torch again, Li Li entered the hideout of the smugglers.

  The covered felt cloth was lifted, revealing the goods inside.

"Ok? ’Li Li couldn’t help getting closer, ‘This is written...huh? Choi? 』
