Qin Qiong and the others had just left Luoyang, and in Hanzhong, Shan Xiongxin's companion Ren Jie rushed to Luoyang.

Yizhou, there has been a big change!

In Hanzhong, Zhang Xianzhong asked Shan Xiongxin to buy pig iron, and Shan Xiongxin was very suspicious at first.

Zhang Xianzhong is very famous in the road, and Shan Xiongxin is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to transport pig iron and horses smoothly into Baishui Pass.

According to the agreement between the two parties, Shan Xiongxin was responsible for purchasing high-quality pig iron from Bingzhou and transporting the pig iron to Baishui in the north of Guanghan County, Yizhou.

The rest of the things don't need to worry about Shan Xiongxin, Zhang Xianzhong is in charge.

After Shan Xiongxin arrived in Hanzhong, he learned a lot about the situation.

Liu Yan was called the king, with his son-in-law Liu Zhang as his son, and his concubine Liu Yu as the marquis of Guanghan.

Liu Zhang, the son of the world, is weak and incompetent. The concubine Liu Yu is wise and martial. The two brothers are not in harmony.

Liu Yan was seriously ill, and after his death, Liu Zhang and Liu Yu inevitably fought in order to inherit the throne.

Shan Xiongxin guessed that Zhang Xianzhong's eagerness to purchase high-quality pig iron was related to this.

Zhang Xianzhong is not a subordinate of Yizhou, but a big man who travels in black and white.

Trafficking in illicit goods is commonplace for Zhang Xianzhong. However, pig iron is an important strategic material, and no matter how bold he is, he does not dare to smuggle such a large amount of pig iron, and it is almost blatant.

Zhang Xianzhong must be helping the official family to make this transaction.

As for the mastermind behind it, whether it is Liu Zhang or Liu Yu, Shan Xiongxin has tried many times, but Zhang Xianzhong has never shown his mouth.

In order to find out who Zhang Xianzhong was doing for, the first batch of pig iron, Shan Xiongxin personally escorted it, and transported it to the outside of Baishui Pass, where the two sides agreed.

After the handover, Shan Xiongxin pretended to return, but went around in a circle. From the mountain path, quietly go around to the outside of Baishui Pass.

Baishuiguan is the throat of northern Yizhou.

To the west, Baishui Pass leads to the subject state of Guanghan, which was the fief of Liu Yu, Marquis of Guanghan.

Baishuiguan to the south, through Jiange, Zitong. It has access to Chengdu, the center of Yizhou.

This place is so critical that it has always been guarded by generals loyal to Liu Yan and Liu Zhang.

If Zhang Xianzhong was doing things for Liu Zhang, he would have transported the pig iron through Baishui Pass and would not have encountered trouble.

On the contrary, if he did things for Liu Yu, it would be difficult for him to pass the Baishui Pass.

……

Shan Xiongxin observed in the dark, and when he saw Zhang Xianzhong's team, he walked more than ten miles outside Baishui Pass, and suddenly stopped.

A companion. ran from the direction of Baishui Pass and said something to Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong pondered for a moment, ordered the camel caravan, turned around, and found a hidden place to rest.

Shan Xiongxin is also a wealthy man in the rivers and lakes, with a large amount of lucky smuggled goods and extremely rich experience.

Although I couldn't hear what Zhang Xianzhong and his companions said, from their actions. Shan Xiongxin can almost conclude that Zhang Xianzhong trafficked pig iron for Liu Yu, the Marquis of Guanghan.

Like Shan Xiongxin and Zhang Xianzhong. The amount of smuggled goods trafficked is quite staggering, and it is impossible to take a small path to avoid the investigation of officials and soldiers.

The usual practice is to make money open up the key links on the way and take the big road.

Shan Xiongxin deduced that Zhang Xianzhong dared to boast about Haikou. It must have already opened the link of Baishui Pass. And the U-turn for the time being, indicating that there has been an accident in the link of Baishui Pass.

Shan Xiongxin only needs to confirm who Zhang Xianzhong is doing things for, as for what troubles he encounters during the period, how to solve them. There is no need to worry about Zhang Xianzhong.

……

As Shan Xiongxin expected, Zhang Xianzhong was indeed trafficking pig iron for Liu Yu.

Zhang Xianzhong, calling for wind and rain in black and white, has only one purpose - money.

Liu Yuken paid a lot of money, why didn't Zhang Xianzhong do it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at Baishuiguan, I encountered a big trouble.

Liu Yan was proclaimed king, worried that he would be conquered by the princes of the Central Plains, and the whole territory of Yizhou was on guard. Guanghan County, the gateway from Yongliang to Yizhou, is particularly heavily guarded.

And Liu Yan's illness is getting worse, and Liu Zhang, who is in Chengdu, has begun to secretly prepare for the succession.

Liu Zhang's most worried person is his younger brother Liu Yu.

Liu Zhang did move to get rid of Liu Yu, but he couldn't find a chance.

Since Liu Yan became seriously ill, Liu Yu only sent people to send doctors and medicines, but he did not return to Chengdu to visit under various pretexts.

Liu Yu is brave and fierce, and he has a loyal elite soldier under him.

With strong, not sure.

Plotted, Liu Yu did not take the bait.

Liu Zhang can only strengthen his defense, wait for his father Liu Yan Bintian, as the king of Shu, and then slowly solve this troublesome little brother.

In order to guard against Liu Yu, Liu Zhang strengthened the defense of Baishui, Jiangyou, Zitong and other places. These county towns are the main roads leading from the Guanghan vassal state to Chengdu.

In these places, Liu Zhang not only secretly increased his troops, replaced the garrison generals, and even changed the leading colonel who guarded the city gate.

……

In order to get through the link of Baishui Pass, Zhang Xianzhong made a bloody investment.

How could I have thought that when the goods arrived at the city gate, the middle and low-level officers who were bought off were all replaced!

This kind of thing is a big trouble for others.

However, what Zhang Xianzhong ate was the bowl of trouble.

If there is no trouble, where will the money come from?

It is precisely because of the large-scale trafficking of smuggling that there are all kinds of unpredictable troubles and risks, which others cannot do, in order to bring unimaginable returns.

For Zhang Xianzhong, trouble and risk mean greater profits.

His credo is: There is no problem in the world that cannot be solved!

Ordered the pack team to take shelter and rest.

Summoned a few relatives and companions, gave orders, and the companions took their orders and left.

Another companion entered Baishui Pass and brought back two beautiful women.

Zhang Xianzhong sat in a tent covered with tiger skins, embraced incense and jade, drank and had fun, and waited for an echo.

After more than a day's work, several relatives returned one after another. Everyone whispered to Zhang Xianzhong for a long time.

Zhang Xianzhong always smiled, stroked his beard, and nodded frequently.

After listening to the report of his companions, Zhang Xianzhong took out a few silver cakes and threw them to Mei Ji. "Fuck off."

Say hello, pack up your tent, and set up your frame. Zhang Xianzhong got on the first big car.

Roar: "Go!" Clearance! ”

The team slowly walked towards Baishui Pass.

……

The white water closes, and the door is open.

Outside the city gates, additional soldiers were dispatched.

The colonel who led the team couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the pack team coming from afar: "Which caravan is this?" Is it so magnificent? ”

The soldiers under him did not miss the benefits of Zhang Xianzhong, and hurriedly replied: "Which one else?" Only the pack team of the eight kings has this battle. ”

"Eight kings? But that Zhang Xianzhong? "The leading colonel didn't buy Zhang Xianzhong's account, and there was disdain in his tone." Aren't they all bootleggers? What's the matter? ”

The little colonel knew that his soldiers must have taken the benefits of Zhang Xianzhong. Glaring and glancing.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, there is a strict order from above, and you want to lose your head for personal gain!"

The soldiers didn't dare to answer, but just looked at the huge pack team, secretly regretting that they had missed a big benefit.

The pack team got closer and closer, and Zhang Xianzhong sat on the frame with a big thorn, rubbing the pair of big golden balls, with a comfortable posture and an arrogant posture.

Xiao Xiao looked angry, but he also knew Zhang Xianzhong's energy, and endured it without having a seizure.

When the pack team approached the city gate, the little colonel had a cold face and shouted: "Stop!" ”

"Yoh? The new guy. Zhang Xianzhong rubbed the big golden ball with his left hand, put his right hand into his arms, and casually touched out a few gold cakes.

"Come on, send it to the new little brother."

The companion took the golden cake and walked over. Zhang Xianzhong smiled at the guards: "Brothers work hard, go to drink flower wine tonight, it's all mine!"

The guards of the city, each swallowing saliva, no one dared to speak.

The little school neither took the golden cakes, nor did he look at the companion who sent the golden cakes, as if he didn't hear what Zhang Xianzhong said, he still had a cold face, and said lightly: "Get out of the car and be ordered to check!" (To be continued.) )
