Behind this group of fierce beasts are Scar, Pan Shu and others, there is no need to put on a particularly neat formation, no need to show strong force, just walk so indifferently, but all the staff are wearing battle armor, even the horses are no exception, which is enough to show what a powerful team this is.
This team is small, a total of about 200 people. Behind this detachment were three wagons. Pan Wu sat in the last carriage, wearing civilian clothes and driving quietly, if he didn't know him, he must not know that this person was the commander of the Second Red Banner Army, the general of the Orthodox Indian Commander of the Vanguard Army.
Qi Dabao was dressed in a military uniform and sat quietly on the side, with a leather pig hidden behind him. Two little white eagles stood quietly on the roof of the car. Behind the carriage were several horses, according to color, red, yellow, black and white, all of which were Pan Wu's mounts, as well as a small white donkey. Without reins, without a saddle, a small herd of horses automatically followed behind the carriage.
The grain pass is not big, the back team has not yet entered the customs, and the front team has already exited the customs.
It stands to reason that all personnel entering and leaving the customs must carefully check their identities, and the army has a roster, and the number of people counted according to the roster. And all horses, equipment, and other things, even grain and grass, must be clearly reported.
Pan Wu's team did not do this, and the roster and armament account books must be seen, but they just looked at the account books and returned them immediately, and they did not send people into the team to check in detail.
The Grain Pass is an important defensive town in the 13 Passes of Purgatory, and messengers arrive every day, and they either want equipment or food, but also people, and there are many people who come to find trouble, and they really don't want to ask for trouble anymore.
In a few moments, the entire vanguard army had already passed through the grain pass. Pan Wu deliberately climbed on the roof of the car and looked back, it was very majestic, not bad.
There were many people and walked slowly, Pan Wu returned to his seat and lay down recliningly, and asked Qi Dabao, "Aren't you afraid?"
Qi Dabao said that he was not afraid.
Pan Wu thought about it for a while, and originally wanted to persuade a few words, what kind of battlefield danger or something. But suddenly remembered that he was actually not big, he could worry about Qi Dabao and take care of Qi Dabao, but who would persuade him to pay attention to safety, and who would worry about himself?
Lie down and look at the sky for a while: "There are tiger skins in the carriage, wait until the purgatory, find a craftsman to help you make a tiger skin robe." ”
Qi Dabao said yes and said thank you.
Pan Wu said: "Actually, the tiger is not powerful, and the wild boar is even more powerful, but unfortunately there is only a tiger skin robe, and I have never heard of a pig skin robe." ”
Qi Dabao said that he didn't want a pigskin robe.
Pan Wu smiled and reached out to grab the pig: "Why doesn't this little thing grow?"
Qi Dabao said he didn't know.
Of course he didn't know, Pan Wu didn't know, and he didn't even know what his name was. Wait until you see Qi Qi and ask again.
Not long after the grain was released, two horses came after him, a man like a scribe sat on a horse in front, and a soldier sat on a horse behind. The two horses were more than fifty meters apart, and the scribe arrived first and asked in a loud voice: "Where is the vanguard officer? ”
Pan Wu climbed on the roof of the car, whistled, and jumped on the back of a horse behind the car: "I'm Pan Wu." ”
The scribe hurriedly stopped his horse, hugged his fists and said, "I've seen General Pan, I'm Mao Dada, a subordinate of General Che." ”
Pan Wu asked, "But General Che Qi?"
"It's my general. Mao Dada took out a letter from his arms: "General Pan is going to Jianmen Pass, although he is the pioneer of the Zhengyin of the Western Army, but he also has to listen to the dispatch of the tiger marshal for the time being, my general said, the outside of the pass is not better than the inside of the pass, and the army is not better than the government. ”
Is this a gesture of goodwill to me? Pan Wu was a little confused: "Dare to ask General Mao, does General Che Qi know me?"
Mao Da Lian didn't dare: "I'm just a little strategist, and I don't deserve to be called a general." Then answer the question: "My general has followed Fang Shuai for many years, and at this time Fang Shuai is fighting in the north, and my general hopes that General Pan can take the national responsibility as his own responsibility and kill the enemy with all his strength to repay the emperor's favor." He also said: "My general and Hu Shuai fought under the same command of Fang Shuai, and they have always had a relationship, this time I know that General Pan is going to Jianmen Pass, and there is a letter to be sent, so please trouble General Pan, can I?"
In this way, it is clear that the western marshal has always been the god of war. Previously, for the sake of the northern war situation, Fang Ziqin led an army of 100,000 to break through the city of Jiang Guo Fancheng and marched eastward.
Qin Guanzhong wanted to win the battle, but unfortunately Jiang Guo had been preparing for a long time and actually dragged Fang Zi and Qin Guanzhong. As a result, the war in the Western Purgatory is particularly tense.
Hu Shuai is the heir of Fang Zi's personal order, and he must be Fang Zi's cronies.
But there are too many factions here in Purgatory Pass, and there are always contradictions and infighting between them. General Che Qi, who was guarding the grain pass, really didn't want Pan Wu to toss blindly after he went, especially after knowing the powerful beast army, he hurriedly ordered someone to come over to deliver the letter.
This is to make Pan Wu must recognize the situation clearly and know that there is someone behind you, but can you try to take care of the overall situation and make some appropriate tolerances.
Hearing Mao Dada say this, Pan Wu took the letter with a smile: "It's just a letter, and thank General Che for looking down on me." ”
Mao Dada hugged his fists and said: "Thank you General Pan, I look forward to the general's triumphant return, and when I come back, I will pass by the grain pass, and Mao will hold a banquet for the general to celebrate." ”
Pan Wu said: "I hope to come back alive." ”
Mao Dada said: "The general will definitely succeed in the first battle and become famous in the Western Regions." ”
Pan Wu said that it was too polite, looked at the knight who stopped twenty meters away, and said to Mao Dada, "That is not your person?"
Mao Dada said no, hugged his fists and said goodbye.
When Mao Da left, the knight jumped off his horse, strode over, and knelt on one knee: "I've seen General Pan." ”
Pan Wu was curious: "Do you know me?"
"I guess. The knight said, "I have seen Mr. Mao." ”
Pan Wu said: "I'm Pan Wu, what's the matter with me?"
The knight took out the invitation: "My general wants to invite the general to the dinner." ”
Pan Wu was stunned for a moment: "I have been outside the grain gate for more than half a month, and no one has invited me to dinner, who is your general? Why did you choose this time? I have already set off." ”
The knight smiled: "The general of my family is General Lu Delu of Jianmen Pass. ”
The thirteen levels of purgatory, the largest pass is the Jianmen Pass, the geographical conditions are dangerous, and there is a saying that the first pass in the northwest. The Generalissimo's Mansion of the Generalissimo of Zhenxi is in the Purgatory Pass.
Hearing the knight say a strange name, Pan Wu said, "I don't know you." ”
The knight presented the invitation in both hands: "My general is now under the Hushuai tent, and General Pan will definitely meet with my general when he goes to Jianmen Pass, and he will know him by then." ”
Pan Wu was a little confused.
After staying in the grain pass for so long, none of the generals in the grain pass paid attention to him. On the contrary, the front-line guards will know his name?
Pan Wu said curiously: "Can you eat wine at the border gate?"
The knight replied, "We'll know when the time comes." He bowed to Pan Wu again, got up and got on his horse, and hurried west.
is also considered a caring person, and he stayed at the grain gate until he set off before he came to deliver the letter. Pan Wu thought about it, caught up with the carriage, and jumped back into the carriage in the air.
Many things can be seen from this invitation, first of all, the sword gate is a bit chaotic. As the largest and most important existence in the thirteen levels, and it is also the location of the Shuai Mansion, I don't know how many troubles there are inside. For example, the enemy is meticulous, there are also moles, and there are some money and power transactions.
At the grain gate, you can often see caravans coming and going, and you can also see many hawkers selling things. However, due to the restrictions of military orders, all goods are not allowed to leave the grain customs, and no matter whether people or things, without the permission of the grain customs guards, nothing can be transported to the border gates.
It can always be that there are commands from above, and there are practices below. The grain pass cannot block all the roads leading to the west, such as Pan Wu, if he doesn't have to go through the grain pass with a large army, he can find a road to go there.
The vast continent has never been an object on the table, and it is simply a fool's dream to rely on one level to guard all the roads.
If that's the case, then why should there be thirteen gates in the Purgatory Pass, and there are many checkpoints under each gate.
For the sake of money and profit, people will go crazy. Therefore, Jianmen Pass is not the imaginary place where all the people are soldiers and fight every day, but a city, a border city with many traders.
It's not just the merchants of the Qin State who will do business, and even the merchants of the Cai State and the Jiang State will occasionally encounter barbarians to do business.
These are beyond the imagination of normal people, even if they can think crankily, they can't imagine that the enemies of life and death will sit together and do business?
Pan Wu threw the invitation to Qi Dabao: "Do you want to drink?"
Qi Dabao shook his head and looked at the invitation: "I heard that there is that kind of wine that can improve cultivation together, it is very good, and a sip is equal to ten years of cultivation?"
Pan Wu asked, "What books have you read again?"
Qi Dabao said: "I know that the things in the book are exaggerated, but I can always improve some cultivation, right?"
Pan Wu was a little speechless, opened the carriage door with his backhand, looked for it and took out a small box: "Eat, this is better than wine." ”
It was a meat cake mixed with whale yellow, Qi Dabao put the box back in the carriage and closed the door: "Brother, you don't have to worry about me when you fight, I'm fine." ”
Pan Wu smiled: "When can you beat me." ”
Qi Dabao said: "That's impossible, Brother Scar, they all say that you are a pervert, and normal people can't do what you do." ”
"That's because you've seen too little. Pan Wu lay down and said, "I'll sleep for a while." ”
Qi Dabao snorted.
More than 200 miles from the grain pass to the Jianmen Pass, the Jianmen Pass is the strongest defense of the purgatory pass in the real sense, although it is also on the border, although it is also facing the enemy directly, and often fights.
But there are many soldiers and generals here, the city is high and there is a lot of grain, and in terms of strength alone, it is safer here than the grain pass. In particular, there are two gods here, one is the military god Fangzi, and the other is the god of war Tang Banmu.
However, at this time, Fang Zi and Tang Banmu are not in Jianmen Pass. Now the temporary responsibility of the marshal is the tiger marshal.
Hu Shuai's name is Xu Wenyuan, his name is more elegant, and his appearance is more literati, but he has a strong personality and is brave in battle, and he is one of the most fierce generals under Fang Zi.
Hu Shuai remembered Fangzi's teachings and sought stability in everything. When Fang Zi is not in purgatory, Hu Shuai must be steady, must not be impulsive, let alone rash.
Besides, we must have a good relationship with Tang Banmu.
