Wang Shuo sighed along the way, along the Wei River to the east, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and arrived at Tongguan on this day.Tongguan is located at the confluence of the Yellow River and the Wei River, at the junction of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan provinces.The Yellow River swells from the Loess Plateau in the northwest, where it flows eastward, and when the river hits the south bank and turns, the flow becomes soothed, and a large amount of sediment mixed with the river water is deposited here, accumulating a plain.The waterways in this area have also become narrow and the water flow is slow, making it an ideal natural crossing.Tongguan is built on the southern slope of this impact plain, and on the other side of the Yellow River, is the Fenglingdu of Shanxi.Crossing Tongguan to the east, it is the boundary of Henan.Tongguan here, except for this impact plain, is surrounded by high mountains, impassable.Tongguan is just blocking this throat, because Tongguan also has the "gateway of Shaanxi", "Guanzhong lock key" said.From Shaanxi, whether it is to cross the Yellow River north to Shanxi, or to the east to Henan, it is inevitable to pass under Tongguan.If Wang Shuo wants to go to Henan, he must also pass through here.Other passes can be bypassed, but here you can't bypass, unless you walk for more than ten days or even dozens of days to cross the Shangluo mountains.When I arrived in Beijing, the daylilies were cold, and Wang Shuo stood on the top of the mountain in the distance and looked at Tongguan.At this time, Tongguan is completely different from the Tongguan he has seen in modern times, there is no bridge across the Yellow River, there is no highway, but the city tower is much taller and more majestic than now, and there is a city wall that stretches for several miles along the mountain, separating the plain from the distant mountains, and the whole pass is more majestic and magnificent.On the city of Tongguan, along the city wall is full of Dashun military flags, and there are large groups of soldiers to defend.There were soldiers standing guard at the pass below the city tower, searching the people who came and went.There are also beacon towers on the hills outside the city, and there are also soldiers guarding them.Since there is Dashun territory all around, there is no enemy, and the guards are not strictly checked, but it is definitely impossible to break through.Wang Shuo brought more than 40 people, as well as war horses, which were too eye-catching and easy to arouse the suspicion of the Shun army.Everyone was prepared for crossing the Tong Pass, so they dispersed at this time, in groups of two or three, or simply led a few horses by themselves, keeping a certain distance from each other.One group of people passed, and the other group walked towards the pass from a distance.After passing the customs, gather not far from the pass, and then set off to Henan.Wang Shuo was worried about an accident, so he stood at the back and watched everyone exit the gate in turn.The pass soldiers just asked what they were doing, where to go to see if there was no problem and let them go.When they encountered something suspicious, they searched carefully, and if nothing came from the search, they were released.Wang Shuo's people were all dressed as peasant pawns, and Shun Bing knew at a glance that there was no oil and water to fish, so he basically asked a few words and let him go.It's a bit troublesome to lead a few horses, but as long as you make up a reason to explain, it's really not okay to stuff some silver taels into the pass soldiers, and you can still pass.The last group of four or five people, all on foot, there should be no problem, Wang Shuo relieved his heart, followed them not far away, and walked towards the pass together.When he arrived at the pass, Shun Bing asked as usual: "What are you doing?"
and one of them bent down and replied with a smile: "Those from Yangjiazhuang in front of him, go to the relatives' house in Majia Village over there to help, and I won't rush back."
You asked this morning. ”The soldier glanced at him, he had just changed the sentry, how did he know what happened in the morning, he asked casually: "What help" The man replied: "My second aunt and her father-in-law died, and everyone helped dig the grave and carry the coffin." ”"Cut, this bad luck" Shun Bing scolded.Seeing that these people were dressed up and couldn't squeeze out the oil and water, he waved his hand and said impatiently, "Go, go" A few people just walked past him, he was stunned, and said loudly: "Stop" The pass is full of Shun soldiers, and a few people dare not break in, so they have to stand down.Wang Shuo watched from a distance and was also taken aback.These people didn't take anything in their hands, and the Shun Bing could find out what was wrong, only to see the Shun Bing walk to the second person in the back, look up and down for a long time, and then ask: "What are you doing?"
The previous answer came over and said: "Boss, he is my brother, he has been deaf and dumb since he was a child, and he can't hear your old words." ”The Shun soldier ignored him, and said with a sneer: "I'll search to see if there is anything hidden on your body" Then he stretched out his hand to the man who was said to be deaf and dumb.The man suddenly grabbed the soldier's hand and twisted it to the side, and the soldier who was in pain screamed "ouch".Wang Shuo saw that something was wrong now, the person who fought with the Shun soldiers was petite, and it became more and more obvious when several strong men walked together.Who is this who came with him, Liang Min or Ayiguli He hurried to the pass.The sentry soldier covered his wrist and shouted into the door of the pass: "Sentry chief, there is a woman here" The sentry chief was napping in the doorway, listening and slowly walked over and asked: "What's wrong with the woman, what the hell are you howling" These days, some women with some posture are afraid to go out, and they can come back safe and sound when they go out, then it is a miracle, and the sentry commander did not care about the words of the Shun soldier.Na Shunbing continued: "She is quite strong, and she sprained my hand. ”The sentry commander laughed and said: "Niu San, what do you say you are doing, you can't even deal with a woman, you are embarrassed to be a soldier" After that, he turned around and went to the city gate cave again.The soldier was in a hurry, and shouted: "This girl is handsome, and she is beautiful as a man" The sentry commander jumped out of the doorway, and then a dozen soldiers also jumped out, and surrounded these four or five people with a "hula" sound.The sentry commander laughed and walked up to the man who was said to be a woman, and he couldn't help but be surprised.In these years, those who dare to show their faces outside are all white-haired old ladies, younger daughters-in-law, he has been stationed here for a month, stunned is a did not see it, God favors, I saw it today, it is still a fine skin and tender meat, beautiful and abnormal, at a glance, I know that it is everyone who looks at the person and asks with a smile: "Girl, where are you going?"
and then said, "Why do you want to dress up as a man, this is a good face, dressed as a boy, and smeared with so much ash, what a pity, rest assured, we are the soldiers of the king, and they are all volunteers." and do not bully the people.Come on, let my brother wipe the dust for you. ”Reach out.The person who had spoken to him came over, blocked the woman behind him, nodded at the sentry chief and said with a smile: "Boss, my sister has never been out, so she is not afraid that the road will not be smooth, so she pretends to be a man."
Let you see, you are really good at all" The sentry chief's face changed color and said: "Fart, this is the world of King Dashun for thousands of miles, where is it not too peaceful to dodge" pulled the man away with his hand, and rushed towards the woman again.The man hurriedly came over, blocked him with his body again, and said, "Boss, you are good."
My sister is small and not sensible.We are from Yangjiazhuang in front, you have time to go over, I invite you to drink tea. ”The sentry commander was a little brainy, and said loudly: "Did I talk to you, tell you to stay away, you can't hear it, get out" At this time, many soldiers surrounded by soldiers to watch the excitement, and some people also watched from afar.Seeing that the man was still in front of the woman, the sentry had no intention of dodging, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, "Cangchang" pulled out the waist knife from under his crotch and scolded: "Looking for death, is it for Lao Tzu to get out of the way" The man had a serious face, staring at the other party's waist knife, but he didn't mean to dodge at all.The sentinel was furious, and stabbed the man with a sword
