Tongguan is still so majestic, one man can guard the gate and ten thousand men can't open it.tu
The attitudes of the soldiers in the east and west were completely different.
Because the east wall faces Luoyang and faces Liu Feng, while the west wall faces Chang'an, which is equivalent to its own territory. Naturally, the soldiers of the east wall should be more rigorous and vigilant, while the soldiers of the west wall should be more cautious.
, be a little more relaxed.
"In this recent weather, heavy rains have become more frequent."[
"Yes, it happens frequently. Our gatekeepers are all drowned in the rain. Fortunately, there is no action on the Luoyang side. Otherwise, the general will send more men to the city. If it rains heavily, we will be in trouble."
On the west pass, there were soldiers patrolling and chatting leisurely. This leisurely attitude is indeed related to the fact that the west pass faces Chang'an, but it is more due to Cao Hong's laxity.
Liu Feng stationed in Luoyang and concentrated on development, and even stopped training his soldiers. As a result, Cao Hong gradually became lax, so that what he said was effective, and the atmosphere in the entire pass was like this.
"Da da da."
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves accompanied by the sound of rolling wheels, approaching from a distance. The patrolling soldiers were stunned, and someone laughed and said, "What kind of weather is this, and there is actually a caravan passing by?"
"Oh, they themselves will be exposed to the rain, and they will also suffer from us." A soldier sighed and said.
"Stop complaining and hurry up and open the city gate." An officer scolded. However, it was raining heavily and the soldiers did not even open the door.
"Hey, this doesn't seem to be a caravan?" At this moment, a soldier let out a surprised sound.
"Huh?" The officer was stunned when he heard this, and raised his head to look to the west. He saw that the people coming did not look like a caravan. This merchant sold goods, bought cheap and sold high, traveling between the north and the south. They sold everything, even war horses.
It is also common. But the problem is that livestock such as pigs, cows and sheep are available all over the world. They cannot be sold at a good price, and they have to be taken care of, looked after, etc., which is even more troublesome.
But the oncoming team was filled with the sounds of pigs, cattle and sheep, and it was huge. Isn't this weird? What's even weirder is that these people seem to be warriors in the army, each holding a spear and wearing a leather coat.
A. Many general-like figures were riding astride horses.
"Who is it?" The officer's expression suddenly changed slightly and he asked.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in Tongguan Pass changed. The soldiers lost their laziness and looked at this team in high spirits.
Naturally, this team was Zhang Heng and his entourage who had come from afar and had malicious intentions. Zhang Heng was seen calmly, riding his horse forward, raising his fist and saying, "I am Zhang Heng, and I have been ordered by Master Zhong.
Bring pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock, and reward the Tongguan sergeants with wine."
"Is there any paperwork?"
It turned out to be Zhang Heng? This made the officers in the city feel relieved. Some days ago, because Cheng Yin attacked Zhang Heng, there was a commotion in Guanzhong. Zhang Heng's name was like thunder. However, the officers dared to relax completely and asked.
"The heavy rain was so heavy that I accidentally got the documents wet." Zhang Heng was well prepared when he heard this and took out a roll of cloth from his arms. It had already been soaked by water, and the handwriting was blurred, as was the seal on it.
"This?" The officer frowned upon hearing this.
"Please ask this sergeant to inform General Cao Hong that there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses in Tongguan. There must be someone who recognizes me." Seeing this, Zhang Heng smiled helplessly and said.
