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.
