Chapter 192: Enter the level
Two hours later, Zhang Tie and his party came to the vicinity of the East Fortress, and were about to walk out of the border of Yan and enter the territory of Korea.
And next to Zhang Tie, there was one person, and that was Wei Yan who was stationed in the East Fortress.
As early as when Zhang Tie and the others were still half an hour away from the East Fortress, the patrolling soldiers found Zhang Tie and the others and came back to report to Wei Yan.
After Wei Yan got the news, he immediately came to greet Zhang Tie and accompanied Zhang Tie all the way to the border.
"Master, take care all the way."
"Yes."
Zhang Tie nodded slightly, turned around and glanced at the East Fortress, and punched Wei Yan in the chest, "Although South Korea should not come to do things, it still can't be taken lightly and can't be careless." ”
"Master, don't worry, hold it steady."
The Koreans were far more cunning than expected, and when the East Fort was first opened, there were Korean soldiers who came to watch and reconnoitre.
But since Zhang Tie repelled the Mongols, the scouts have never appeared again, and it seems that they have given up their observation of the border cities and counties.
Not to mention, coming to attack the border city and county, for so long, there has been no shadow.
If Yan'an County hadn't been attacked by the Koreans, Zhang Tie would have thought that the Koreans had changed their temperament, but it turned out that they were just bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.
After bidding farewell to Wei Yan, Zhang Tie and the others finally walked out of the border of Yan and entered the Korean zone.
Because there are many carriages, Zhang Tie and others have been walking on official roads, and the trails cannot be driven.
Soon, they came to a pass.
This 'pass' is not the other pass, this pass does not have a tall city wall, only a dozen Korean soldiers use a row of wooden frames to block the official road and check the passers-by.
There is also this in the border county, the fortress is the pass, but it has not been useful, because no foreign caravans will pass through the border county.
The costumes of the Korean soldiers were very fancy, imitating the style of the southern countries, but at the same time changing the patterns in a mess.
Originally, it was supposed to be a simple soldier's cotton armor, showing off various flower patterns, a bit like singing a big opera.
This was Zhang Tie's first feeling when he saw the Korean soldiers.
When Zhang Tie and his entourage entered the field of vision of the Korean soldiers, more than a dozen Korean soldiers stood up lazily.
His right hand was pressed on the weapon on his waist, staring at Zhang Tie and his party in the distance, with a hint of joy in their eyes.
The Korean soldier who bore the brunt of the attack looked at the convoy in the distance and said with grinned teeth: "His grandmother's leg, finally a caravan is coming, brothers, cheer up, there is a fat sheep." ”
"Phew!"
A South Korean soldier who was following the soldier spat on the ground, "Boss, that son of a bitch, Jin Wan, with his identity, suppressed us everywhere and let us stay in this shitty place, without any oil and water." ”
"Alright, alright."
The leader of the Korean soldiers glanced at his subordinates behind him, "Winning the king and defeating the king, losing is losing, what's the use of complaining." ”
The leader of the soldiers patted his stomach with a thumping sound.
"We all cheered up, and finally a fat sheep came, and we needed to get some oil and water to be worthy of our stomachs."
The leader of the soldiers seemed to be very respected among the more than a dozen soldiers, and they all straightened their waists, did not squint, and looked ahead with a bright look, which was really refreshed.
Although there were more than 200 people on the other side, the Korean soldiers were not very afraid, but very excited, in their eyes, Zhang Tie and his party were like a big fat sheep, not aggressive.
Businessmen, after all, are valued for peace, not to mention cross-border trade, and they can't do much.
As mentioned above, cross-border trade must have a pass, and if you don't have a pass, it is a prohibited behavior, that is, black businessmen, not protected, and others can rob your property at will.
And this pass is given by each checkpoint, and after paying the customs duties, the soldiers stationed at the checkpoint will give the pass to the passer.
And this naturally formed a rule, that is, in addition to paying taxes, but also to give some tips to the soldiers stationed at the checkpoint, the amount of this tip, how much or less, and how much, depends on the relationship and strength of the two parties.
This is also the reason why it was found that there were many people on the other side, but the Korean soldiers were not afraid at all, but were confident.
As the two sides got closer and closer, people on both sides also saw each other's clothes.
"Yes!"
But when he saw Zhang Tie's decoration, the leader of the Korean soldiers had a sudden change in his face, and muttered to himself, "Isn't this the decoration of the soldiers in Border City?" Aren't they caravans, soldiers from border counties? Come against us? ”
The doubts in his head made the face of the soldier leader change for a while.
"Whew! Wrong! ”
The leader of the South Korean soldiers stared suspiciously at the people coming from afar, "If it was a war, it shouldn't have pulled so many carriages." ”
"Hopefully, I'm too careful."
The deeds of Biancheng County, from the time it opened to exterminate the bandits, there was news spreading in Hongyang County, the neighboring county town of South Korea, not to mention the following.
When it was heard that Biancheng County had repelled the Mongols and killed more than 300 people, Hongyang County could be said to have been hit like never before.
This is also the reason why they did not attack the border city and county this year, and such a border city and county is no longer something that they can deal with in a small county town.
The stronger the other party, the more afraid they became, for fear that the border cities and counties would attack them and take revenge.
Soon, Zhang Tie and his entourage came to the South Korean soldiers.
A South Korean soldier stretched out a hand forward and said in a loud voice: "Stop! ”
In fact, there is no need for the Korean soldiers to say more, as old Jianghu, Deng Wei and others know this rule, and they have slowed down their progress and stopped in front of the pass.
"In the Deng family in Xialie Blood Town, everyone has worked hard, be careful, and not respectful."
Turning over and jumping off the horse, Deng Wei took out the money bag that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to the soldier who spoke.
And Zhang Tie, who was beside Deng Wei, just quietly watched everything Deng Wei did, and did not mean to stop Deng Wei, every line has its own rules, and it can use a little money to reduce trouble, why not.
There is a way that the king of Hades is easy to mess with little ghosts, although Zhang Tie doesn't like this kind of rule, but Zhang Tie doesn't want to cause big trouble because of such a small matter.
The soldier took the money bag, threw it, then opened the money bag, glanced inside, showed a satisfied expression, and then threw the money bag to the leader of the soldiers behind him.
"Boss, go on."
The soldier's gaze turned to Deng Wei in front of him again, licked his lips, and looked at Deng Wei with a greedy gaze, but the soldier didn't see it at all, the money bag he threw away was not caught by his head, but fell to the ground.
Deng Wei, who was looked at by this gaze, frowned slightly, in the money bag, he put a full five taels of silver, which is enough for the toll, you know, the strip only needs two taels of silver, and the remaining three taels of silver are for these soldiers in front of them, three taels of silver is not a minority, many families have to work hard for a year to earn these.
"It turned out to be the Deng family! Look up for a long time. ”
Just as Deng Wei was about to take out the silver from his arms again, a voice came, interrupting Deng Wei's movements.
I saw the leader of the soldiers holding a note, handed it to Deng Wei, and said respectfully: "This is your pass." ”
As he spoke, the leader of the soldiers glanced at Zhang Tie who was riding on the horse with his eyes, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Boss?! It's not——。 ”
The soldier who spoke first looked at his leader suspiciously, trying to say something, but was interrupted by the leader of the soldiers who turned his head and gave him a stern look, and did not continue.
Although I don't know what happened to the other party, but I got the pass, and there was nothing to do.
"Farewell!"
With a punch at the leader of the soldiers, Deng Wei turned on his horse and took the lead towards the pass, followed by the convoy.
