Chapter 77

Xiongjian Pass, the border pass of the Kingdom of Shu.

The Taizu of Shu set up this hero on the north, in order to have a domineering spirit of "the sword points to the north and never returns", so as to encourage the younger generations not to forget the legacy of the ancestors.

It's a pity that the descendants are not up to date, as can be seen from the nightly singing and singing in the city of Jinxiu, and the drunkenness and gold fans.After a hundred years of peace, the Kingdom of Shu is still in a peaceful place at this time, and it no longer has the ambition to compete for supremacy at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Xiongjianguan is also useless, only a few soldiers with spears leaning on their spears, sitting loosely on the top of the city to bask in the sun.The red tassels on the spear were filthy, and the iron spikes on the spearhead were somewhat rusted.Passes are almost undefended.Wang Jitu and Chen Wenze passed the pass easily without encountering any obstacles.

According to the advice of the old drunkard, Chen Wenze should turn east at this time.Wang Jitu wanted to go straight to the north.The two should part here and go their separate ways.

"Brother Chen, let's leave now." Wang Jitu stood in front of the pass and said proudly.

Chen Wenze didn't say much, both of them knew that there was no feast that never ends, they cherished each other, and wished each other success in their cultivation.

Wang Jitu was originally a free and easy person, and Chen Wenze was not a cowardly person. The two of them would never say goodbye with tears. They both laughed three times, raised their chests and raised their heads. They each took solid steps towards the opportunity of cultivating immortals.

It's hard to say two things with one mouth.

Let me first talk about Wang Jitu heading north.As long as you pass through the "one arrow pass" in front of you, you can leave the Kingdom of Shu.

Not long after Wang Jitu was on the road, he saw a fast horse passing by with a bordered yellow flag on its back. This flag can only be planted when sending urgent secret orders. The posthouses along the way must equip it with the best horses.

"It's so urgent. Could it be that something changed in Jinxiu City? Could it be that the matter of assassinating the envoy of the Dayun Kingdom has already been found out on me." Even though Wang Jitu was so courageous, he was also a little nervous at this time.

In the front is the last of the three passes in the north of Shu Kingdom, "Yijian Pass".

There are three passes in the north of Shu Kingdom: Suokey Pass, Xiongjian Pass and Yijian Pass.

The lock and key has long been obsolete.And Jianfeng points to Xiongjianguan in the north.Judging from the situation just now, the pass may also be abolished.

However, there are still soldiers and horses stationed at the "Yijian Pass" ahead.

It is said that the dangerous part of this pass can only allow one person to pass through, and the soldiers of the Shu Kingdom only need one person and one arrow to stop the invading enemy.

At the beginning, the Taizu of Shu used arrows to show his ambition before the pass, and expressed his intention with the arrow of "opening the bow without turning back".

The Taizu of Shu wept blood every word, but did not receive much effect.

Since the establishment of this pass, the later emperors also obeyed Taizu's behest, as long as they sent soldiers and horses outside the pass, none of them were brought back.They all stayed in the barracks of the Tianyuan Mountain Destroyer Army not far from the "Yijian Pass", forming an angle with the pass, and arching the majestic pass.

Wang Jitu knew that the situation had changed, so he quickened his pace.From time to time on the road will meet some people with their families.From the looks of them, they are all merchants doing business at the border.

These merchants have the most sensitive sense of war.Afraid of being involved in military disasters, they dared not stay in the north, and moved their families one after another.

Seeing this kind of scene, Wang Jitu, who foresees a bad future, also seems to be preoccupied.Half an hour later, a majestic pass standing in the mist stood in front of him.

Wang Jitu took a deep breath, feeling a little agitated in his heart.Back then, he was stationed here as a reserve force of the Mountain Destroyer Army.He was almost sent out of the pass and stationed in Tianyuan Mountain.Later, although he didn't leave the pass, he kept guarding the Yijian Pass. At this time, he saw the plants and trees in front of the pass, and felt very kind.

One Arrow Pass really deserves its reputation.The pass is located between the high mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are cliffs on both sides of the pass, and there are many peaks and rocks. The terrain is dangerous.The road is located in the valley, the road is winding and rugged, the widest point is only two feet long.

At this time, the side gate of the pass is opened for common people and merchants to pass through.However, before the pass, there has been a lot of turmoil. Just by looking at the solemn eyes of the guards at the pass, one can find that the border has been frequently mobilized recently, a sign that a big war is coming.

Since the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed by the Dayun army.The garrison of the Northern Han Dynasty camp has been replaced by the army of the Dayun Kingdom.The Dayun Kingdom is not like the Northern Han Dynasty, which has sent a large number of soldiers and horses to gather near the border.

In the past, the majestic Yijian Pass was shrouded in a depressive atmosphere that was about to rain.

The news of the death of the envoy of Dayun Kingdom had already been informed to King Dayun through secret channels.For some reason, King Dayun did not issue the order to attack Shu, and the two countries have not yet declared war.

Of course, the Kingdom of Shu did not dare to touch the edge of Dayun's army.He just ordered the soldiers and horses to guard the camp and prepare for the battle, without making any violent moves.

Although the pass is still allowed to pass, the soldiers inspecting it are obviously much stricter.Often a disappointment can lead to shoving and scolding.Passers-by are very cautious.

At this time, the situation of the two countries is unpredictable, how could the defenders of the two countries take it lightly.On the surface, everything seems to be peaceful, but the war is already at a critical moment. Although the pass is not strictly guarded, the officers and soldiers are all on alert.

Wang Jitu's nameplate of the Destroying Mountain Army that he used back then is naturally unusable, and he is strong and round, so he will not be regarded as an ordinary person.Fortunately, he had another identity when he was in Duke Zhongyong's mansion.

After the death of Wang Jitu's father, Ke Rong, the third steward of the house, took extra care of Wang Jitu, and even got him a steward's badge.

The stewards of the Zhongyong family are all assistant leaders. Although they are not in the destroying army, they all carry the honor of the destroying army and can exercise some of the privileges bestowed by the Duke.

Except for Jinxiu City, in any county in the Shu Kingdom, as long as they have this waist card, they can walk sideways.

The Pinghan Potou of Tianyuan Mountain is the place where the destroying army camped.There are often stewards who pass through the customs.Stewards are not soldiers and horses, so you don't have to follow the will of Taizu.

For the convenience of walking, Wang Jitu changed out of his robes a long time ago, and now he took out his steward's badge, which did not arouse the suspicion of the guards.

After checking that there was no mistake, the soldiers guarding the gate hit his chest with their hands and respectfully saluted him as a Shu army.Wang Jitu also returned the salute, followed a group of merchants, and walked down with the crowd.

"I heard that Lord Zhongyong refused to be called and did not accept the emperor's order to guard the border." Said the old man walking in front of Wang Jitu.

"Hmph, what is Zhongyong, the name is the Duke of the country, but he is actually a traitor to the country. The child of my third uncle's second cousin's family is an official in the court. I know that Ke Guogong has been fighting with Dayun people for a long time. Let him guard the gate , it’s better to close the door with an arrow and open it, so that the people of Yangzhou can come in.” Another young man ignored the advice of the caravan leader, and also uttered quibbles.

"Hey, this is the last time I'm leaving the customs. After selling this cart of goods, I'll go back to my hometown and say nothing." The old man lamented.

"Old man, what are you talking about!" A group of soldiers rushed over fiercely.

The old man was obedient, but fortunately, the young businessman next to him immediately saluted respectfully, took out two silk brocades from his truck, and stuffed them to the leader of the army.

Seeing that the Shu brocade was valuable, the soldier waved his hand and let them go.

This way, the road was even more silent, and no more words were heard.

Wang Jitu knew that after this farewell, the Great Shu Kingdom no longer had any fate with him. He looked at the Xiongguan behind him with a little sentimentality, sighed slightly in his heart, and resolutely took a step forward.Since then, he has embarked on a wonderful road that he has never dreamed of.

Wang Jitu withdrew slowly with the caravan, and many people were also following the caravan. People had the mentality of clinging together, and the leader of the caravan had no choice but to let it go.Just told his men to be careful with the goods.

When the caravan reached the territory of Dayun Kingdom, the leader of the caravan wanted to go forward to clear things up, but he didn't see a single soldier blocking his way.

Oncoming soldiers often take the initiative to avoid.Only a few scouts ran past the caravan.After that, I never met any military horses to harass the caravan.

The caravan could see the Dayun military camp from a distance, and the appearance of the Dayun army was neat and orderly. Ordinary people could feel a murderous aura from the barracks. an army.

While the caravan leader breathed a sigh of relief, he led the crowd quickly through this frightening place.During the period, some goods were overwhelmed and scattered on the road in piles here and there, and no one dared to stop to pick them up. They just kept following the team, for fear that after falling behind, they would be caught by these wolf-like Dayun The soldiers swallowed it.

But along the way, everyone felt that Dayun's army was strictly disciplined and did not offend the common people.

Wang Jitu rushed forward along the flow of people, and arrived at a small town after several hours.

The small town is named 'Zhennan', which was the name given by the Northern Han Dynasty to pacify the Shu Kingdom in the south.

When Wang Jitu was destroying the mountain army, he had imagined countless times that when he led his troops to fight in the future, he would be able to level this small city, but he never thought that he would come to this city in this appearance now.

There was no time for him to be emotional.Wang Jitu left the caravan and immediately looked for the horse market.

Because Dayun's army was stationed nearby, all the well-ridden horses in the horse market had been sold out long ago.There are only a few old horses left in the horse market, and they are expensive.

"Okay, old horses know the way." Wang Jitu comforted himself, took out the gold and silver given by Shangguan Chouchou, immediately chose a decent one, jumped on the horse and swung his whip away.

Going all the way to the west, the scenery gradually changes.From the flat land, enter the loess highland with thousands of ravines.Over the mountains and ridges, the journey is full of dust, but there is no major trouble along the way.

After another twenty days, he finally stepped into the Xiliang territory.

The boundary of Xiliang is located in the northwestern part of the eastern part of China, with few water veins and a dry climate, but it is flat.Wang Jitu chewed dry biscuits, and rode his horse galloping across the ground with the cold water in his leather bag.

The farther west the place went the more desolate it became.

In the land of Xiliang, the Qiang flute is melodious.

It is said that thousands of years ago, there was only one British dynasty in the eastern part of China.The ancestors of the British Dynasty started from Xiliang, which was very prosperous at that time.However, with the decline of the British Dynasty, there is no prosperity here.

The west is desolate and desolate, and there are many Gobi.

Wang Jitu is galloping on the desert in Xiliang.He munched on the air-dried beef, without the slightest awareness of becoming a monk, and hummed a tune from time to time, but he could enjoy the bitterness.
