After waiting for a long time, Cheng Ji came over. Looking at the way he was shaking his head, it was obvious that he was full of food and drinks, and was still in need of food.

Cheng Ji seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with the report from his soldiers. After entering the city, he gave a scolding: "Didn't I say that no matter who comes at night, the city gate is not allowed to be opened! You can't handle such a small thing. If you want to

What are you using these wine bags and rice bags for?"

The guards were obedient and seemed to be very afraid of Cheng Ji. One of them, who was a little bolder, reported: "General Qi, there are men and horses from the Yueqi camp outside the city. The person who came to call the pass is General Zhengxi who joined the army. His name is Yang Hu."

.”

"Yueqiying Camp? Isn't it the Yueqiying Camp, one of the five schools of the Northern Army?" Cheng Ji said with disdain on his face: "The fifth school of the Northern Army, which is the most useless in Luoyang City, actually dared to come to Guanzhong.

Is it possible that they can still go to the battlefield and fight? Come and tell them that it is the rule here in Tongguan not to open or close the door at night. No one can make an exception. Let them stay outside the city. They can do it tomorrow morning.

Re-enter the customs."

The guard relayed Cheng Ji's words truthfully, but omitted Cheng Ji's evaluation of the Yueqi camp.

Cao Liang couldn't help but frown. Although Yueqi camp was said to have been sleeping in the open all the way, but now that they had arrived at Tongguan City, they were still not allowed to enter and continued to make the soldiers suffer from the cold winter. This was unjustifiable in any case.

Maybe there is a rule in Tongguan that no one opens the door at night, but the rule is dead and the people are alive. Our own army came under the order. Is it possible that the local policy of a place can stand up to the imperial edict of the imperial court?

Then again, there is no urgent military situation ahead. If there is, being delayed like this by the Tongguan guard, wouldn't it ruin the military situation?

Cao Liang suppressed the anger in his heart and said loudly: "Who is General Cheng? I am the commander of the Western Expedition, Yongliang Commander Shi, and the Yueqi Colonel Cao Liang. I have something to ask the general!"

Now Cao Liang's identity is not only the captain of the Yue Cavalry School, but also the general of the Western Conquest, the governor of Yongliang. The governor of Yongliang is the highest military leader of the two states of Yongliang, and its chief of staff is

I was walking sideways in Yongliang and Liangzhou, but I didn't expect that I would be rejected under Tongguan City.

In terms of rank, the status of the Yongliang Governor Shi is much higher than that of the Tongguan Governor. The Yongliang Governor Shi is the chief staff officer under the Yongliang Governor and has the most powerful position in the army of these two states.

In terms of absolute power, Governor Tongguan is just a guard of Guancheng. I am afraid that the two are not even qualified to be compared.

Cao Liang originally thought that revealing his identity would naturally frighten Cheng Ji, but he didn't expect that Cheng Ji remained indifferent. With the help of alcohol, he stretched out half of his head on the top of the city and coldly snorted: "Chang Shi is here."

Isn't it amazing? You use a chicken feather as a command arrow. Who are you trying to scare here? The rule of not opening and closing Tongguan at night was set by Governor Guo. If you want to enter the pass, just bring Governor Guo's token."

Cao Liang is really angry this time. Even if Tongguan has a rule of not opening and closing the door at night, this rule is probably also for the passing business people. How can the Yueqi camp come on orders to be compared with these common people? No.

Wrong, before General Yongliang, the general who conquered the west, took office, Guo Daming, the governor of Yongzhou, was indeed the chief governor of Guanzhong. But after the general Xia Houxuan, the general who conquered the west, the person in charge of Yongzhou should have been replaced. Cheng Ji brought Guo Huai.

Speaking of things, he clearly didn't take Xia Houxuan seriously.

"General Cheng, there is an order from the imperial court and a letter from the governor of Yongliang. If you don't believe it, you can take it and have a look. If the military situation is delayed, you and I will not be able to afford it."

"It's a joke! I don't care what imperial orders, governors and clerks you have. When you get here to Tongguan, you have to abide by the rules of Tongguan. Even if you say hell, you can't even take a step into Guancheng today!" Cheng Ji said arrogantly.

Cao Liang originally knew that this guy Cheng Ji had no brains. When he saw it today, he was really clueless. No wonder he would be encouraged by Jia Chong and dare to kill the king. In his mind, the Sima family is

Greater than the emperor.

Now here, Cheng Ji will definitely think that the Yongzhou governor is greater than the general who conquered the west, and he will obey Guo Huai's advice, but he will be dismissive of Xiahou Xuan, so that in his eyes, the Yongzhou governor is above everything else, then

I was afraid that Cao Liang's imperial edicts and governor's letters would not be as powerful as Guo Huai's words.

Cao Liang was speechless. When you encounter such a generous master, you really have nothing to do. Cheng Ji refuses to open the city gate, so does Cao Liang really have to fight with swords and arrows?

With no choice, Cao Liang had no choice but to let Yang Hu go back and let the Yueqi camp camp outside Tongguan City until dawn before crossing the border.

Cheng Ji watched Cao Liang retreat angrily, and said to his left and right complacently: "See, no matter what Chang Shi Xiaowei is, he has to abide by the rules here in this one-third of an acre of land. Yes.

If it's a dragon, he has to coil up, and if it's a tiger, he has to lie down. If he wants to get through at night, there is no way!"

Cao Liang returned to the team and found that everyone was standing there, with angry expressions on their faces, and no intention of setting up camp.

"Captain Cao, is this still the territory of the Wei Dynasty? Is the Tongguan guard so arrogant? He won't even let you in. It's so damn frustrating!" Military Marquis Zuo Tao said angrily.

Another military prince, Wang Lin said: "That's right, he won't let us enter Guanzhong. We are still surprised. It's better to return to Luoyang as soon as possible to avoid suffering from this cowardice!"

All the officers complained one after another and expressed their dissatisfaction. Since they left Luoyang, they had traveled smoothly all the way. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Tongguan City, they were treated like this. They were not even allowed to enter. It was simply unreasonable.

Shi Bao said to Cao Liang: "Captain Cao, everyone in the Yueqi camp is holding their breath. When we first arrived in Guanzhong, we were bullied by these local gangsters. I'm afraid the future will not be easy. I have to think of a way.

If this continues, the morale of the military will be unstable!"

Now is the cold winter season. When marching during the day, there is warm winter sun, so we can survive the cold. However, when we camp at night, the cold wind is biting, and the soldiers are miserable. Now that they have arrived at Tongguan, Cao Liang is still thinking about how he can survive.

We wanted to improve the accommodation conditions of the Yueqi camp, but we didn’t expect that Chengji oil and salt were not allowed to enter, and the Yueqi camp was not allowed to enter. It seemed that if we continued to freeze this night, we would not be able to escape.

Cao Liang felt very aggrieved. When he was in Luoyang, no one dared to ridicule them in front of the Yueqi camp even though they were not welcome. Now that he is in Guanzhong, is it possible that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake?
