Tianjing Pass, located in the northernmost part of Taihang Cheng, was built in Yangshuo of the Western Han Dynasty for three years, and is the place where the north and south rush. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Cai Yong, a scholar of Info University, once said: "There is a Tianjing Pass on Taihang Mountain, which is closed in the north of the well, which is a danger set by heaven." Tianjing Pass is a large city pass, in the south of this pass there are Xingyi Station, Hengwang Pass, Xiaokou Pass, Wanzi City and other multiple passes, all of them are guarded according to danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Wei Qi, who was two days ahead of Zhang Liao, was blocked outside the patio pass.

This scene is completely different from Jia Kui, who only rushed to the patio with five people to pass the word.

At that time, Zhang Liao was in Tianjing Pass. Now, guarding the patio pass has become a group of Shangdang locals who have no identity and flags.

There were only a hundred cavalry escorting Wei Qi and Zhang Fan's family, and they obviously did not have the strength to attack Tianjing Pass.

Wei Qi asked the soldiers to negotiate under the pass, revealing the identities of himself and Zhang Fan. The identity of the Tiance Army will not be revealed for the time being, and first find out what the origin of this group of people who are guarding the prison is located.

Contrary to Wei Qi's expectations, when the Shangdang people guarding the pass learned that Wei Qi, a famous scholar from Hedong, and Zhang Fan, a famous scholar from Hanoi, had both arrived at Guanxia, they immediately opened the gate and a team of people came out to warmly welcome Wei Qi and Zhang Fan into the Guancheng to rest.

I thought that this time I would have to spend a lot of words, and I would not even be able to pass the customs until Zhang Liao arrived from behind, but I didn't expect to be treated as a VIP.

The person who came out of the customs to greet Wei Qi and Zhang Fan was named Chen Tao, a disciple of the Chen family, a famous family in Shangdang Hyun County, and the brother of Chen Shi, the current patriarch of the Chen family.

After Zhang Yang led the army to withdraw from Shangdang, Tianjingguan was once ungarrisoned, and later Li Dao and Yuan Shao fought in Hanoi, and the wealthy clans in Shangdang counties felt that Tianjing Pass could not be left empty, so they asked the Chen family to send soldiers to garrison Tianjingguan to prevent rogues and bandits from flowing into Shangdang from the direction of Hanoi. Chen Jiazu had been out of the border county Taishou, proficient in battle formations and the art of war, and knew the importance of Tianjing Pass, so he sent Chen Tao to lead 500 soldiers into Tianjing Pass.

Chen Tao welcomed Wei Qi and Zhang Fan into the city, and asked his family soldiers to help settle the hundred cavalry who arrived at the pass at the same time with Wei Qi and Zhang Fan.

When Chen Tao learned that the true identity of these cavalrymen was the Tiance Army's flying cavalry battalion, his jaw almost fell to the ground in shock. Wei Qi told him that there were hundreds of horsemen behind, and it was estimated that it would be a day or two to arrive, and asked him to help prepare a little food and grass. At this moment, Chen Tao's mood can no longer be described as shocked.

The fame of the Tiance Army's flying cavalry battalion has long since spread throughout the state. Admiral Tiance only relied on the 2,000 cavalry of the flying cavalry battalion to kill two 10,000 commanders of the Xianbei people in the Mayi array, and broke 20,000 Xianbei cavalry. Subsequently, Admiral Tiance took two thousand horsemen to suppress the Sun clan of the Taiyuan Hao clan in Jinyang!

Chen Tao, who was sweating profusely, asked Wei Qian: "I wonder if Mr. Wei is passing by Tianjing Pass this time, or is he here specifically for the party?" ”

Wei Qi still didn't know about the big things that Lu Bu had done in Jinyang, and he didn't know that Lu Bu was still waiting for him to return to Lishi and appoint him as the chief judge and go to Jinyang to try the imprisoned Sun family!

Wei Qi was stunned by Chen Tao's question, but seeing the cold sweat on Chen Tao's forehead, he said vaguely: "Mr. Gongyi and I returned to Lishi through the party, and General Zhang, who arrived later, was in charge of military affairs. ”

Chen Tao didn't dare to ask more, so he carefully accompanied Wei Qi and Zhang Fan, and privately sent his cronies to rush back to the Hyun County as quickly as possible, and asked his brother Chen Shi to hurry up and prepare to meet the Tiance Army.

At night, Chen Tao accompanied Wei Qi and Zhang Fan to dinner, and Zhang Fan took the initiative to ask Chen Tao about the state of Merge, especially about the situation of Cai Yong, a university scholar, in Jinyang. Chen Tao didn't know that Zhang Fan was instructed by Wei Qi and intended to inquire about the news related to the Tiance Army, and he didn't know that Wei Qi didn't know much about the recent situation of the Tiance Army because he had been away from Lishi for two months.

Chen Tao told all the major events that happened after Cai Yong went to Jinyang to announce the decree, and especially mentioned the killing of Sun She, the guard of Taiyuan County, and the suicide of Nie Wei in fear of crime. Since Chen Tao mentioned the deaths of Sun She and Nie Wei, it would naturally involve the news of the Tiance Army.

After eating a meal, Wei Qi understood why Chen Tao broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that the escorted men and horses were the Tiance Army Flying Cavalry Battalion. The effect of Tiance Army killing chickens and monkeys in Jinyang is obvious!

On the second day, Zhang Liao led his army to Tianjing Pass. Chen Tao personally went out to greet him, and also led the horse for Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao entered the customs and saw that Wei Qi and Zhang Fan were well taken care of, so he had a good impression of Chen Tao.

He asked Chen Tao: "Your ancestor is Chen Shuzhen, the famous guard of the border county?" ”

Chen Tao nodded, and said humbly: "The Chen family is not a son, and he is ashamed to mention his ancestors." ”

Zhang Liao said: "I see that the Chen family soldiers are well-trained, not like ordinary clan soldiers, which proves that you have the ability to lead soldiers." At the beginning, your ancestors guarded the five plains of the border counties for many years, went on the horse to govern the army, got off the horse to govern the people, cared about the suffering of the border people, and rectified the border counties, so that all ethnic groups could live and work in peace and contentment, and were deeply supported and loved by all ethnic groups. If there is chaos today, the Shangdang Chen family is making a legitimate contribution, don't sit in the well and watch the sky, damaging the reputation of your ancestors! ”

Chen Tao was puzzled by Zhang Liao's words. It sounds like Zhang Liao has a lot of respect for the ancestor of the Chen family, the ancestor of the Wuyuan Taishou, and Chen Gui, the general of the Huns, and is also very polite to Chen Tao, but Zhang Liao mentioned Chen Gui's rectification of the border counties, what does this mean?

Zhang Liao didn't care about Chen Tao's doubts, after he rested at Tianjing Pass, he escorted Wei Qi and Zhang Fan on the road again. Although this Guancheng is very important, the Tiance Army does not have enough troops to garrison this place at present, so let's first manage the base of Xihe firmly and solidly.

After the group came out of the patio pass, Wei Qi asked Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan's ancestor is surnamed Nie?" ”

Zhang Liao replied: "This matter is too old to be verified. ”

Wei Qi asked again: "Have you ever heard of the name of Nie Hui in Bingzhou?" ”

"I've heard of it, but it has nothing to do with our Mayi Zhang family."

Wei Qi was worried that Zhang Liao was related to Nie Wei, who committed suicide in fear of crime, and when he heard Zhang Liao say this, he was no longer worried in his heart. Zhang Liao is a good general, if he has a dislike with Lu Bu because of Nie Wei's matter, it will be a major loss for the Tiance army.

Wei Qi told Zhang Liao some of the news he heard from Chen Tao, and Zhang Liao felt very excited and moved after hearing it.

Zhang Liao is a native of Mayi, and Lu Bu personally led the army to rescue Mayi, regardless of whether this took into account the reasons of the Zhang family of Mayi, but even if Lu Bu was able to win 20,000 against 20,000, it was enough to make people feel excited and inspired. Since Ma Yi is safe and sound, it means that the Zhang family has also escaped a catastrophe, which means that Lu Bu has a life-saving grace for the Zhang family.

In addition to being excited and moved, Zhang Liao also saw an opportunity from it.

Chen Gui's family has a strong appeal and influence in the party, if the Chen family can be allowed to join Lu Bu, it will be very convenient for Tiance Army to take over the party in the future.

Shangdang connects Jizhou and Hanoi, and has very important strategic value for the future development of the Tiance Army, and must not fall into the hands of others!
