Da Ming started to ascend the throne

After finding out about it with the centurion, I realized that the people were worried about the war, and because of the plague infection, most of the people left Changping. Now there are less than a thousand people in the city.

After posting the notice of Anmin, hand over the defense of Changping to the centurion.

He also told him to send people to the capital to transport food and supplies for the people and the army. Li Yan and Yan Yingyuan led the army to Juyongguan.

The current guard of Juyongguan is Du Zhizhi, the eunuch trusted by Emperor Chongzhen. At that time, Tang Tong was the guard, and Du Zhizhi was originally the supervisor of the army.first launch.. ..

When the army of rogue bandits approached the city, Tang Tong wanted to fight to the death, but the great eunuch Du Zhizhi opened the city gate and surrendered.

Tang Tong was helpless, all the eunuchs around Emperor Chongzhen had surrendered to the enemy, so why should he be foolish to die, and he might as well surrender together.

Later, the rogue army continued to advance into the capital, Tang Tang was transferred to attack the city, and Du Zhizhi stayed at Juyongguan to defend the city.

Later, it was learned that the bandits had been defeated and King Chuang's life and death were unknown. The traitor Du Zhizhi led three thousand soldiers from the Ming Dynasty to guard Juyongguan in a dilemma.

Only then did he realize that the best medicine in the world is regret medicine, but unfortunately it has not been manufactured, otherwise he would have bought one no matter how expensive it was.

There was not much food in the city, but this old dog was rather ruthless, and he was about to run out of money, so he ordered the soldiers to rob the people's homes, and the people in the city were in great pain.

Even so, the military rations of more than 3000 soldiers in Juyongguan have become a big problem. The soldier who does not pay the military is willing to work for you sincerely.

After leaving Changping, Li Yan and Yan Yingyuan discussed how to attack Juyongguan. Juyongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack due to its natural dangers. There are still about a few thousand troops in the city.

In order to reduce casualties of troops and civilians, the two formulated a plan to capture Juyongguan.

"Master Du, hurry up and take a look. A caravan is coming from outside the city. They want to pass through Juyongguan."

"Caravan? Through Juyongguan? Where are they going? Could it be Ming Dynasty spies?"

Although the eunuch knew nothing about military affairs, he was still very vigilant, and he even suspected that the caravan was a Ming spy.

Chapter 73 The Mysterious Caravan

Du Zhizhi was somewhat suspicious of the caravan outside the city, but the deputy general didn't care:

"Master Supervisor, there can't be spies cheating the city outside the venue, you'll know when you go and have a look."

"Okay, lead the way."

Although Du Zhizhi said that, his heart started to move. Now the city is very short of food.

After persisting for a while, he still has to pay for military rations out of his own pocket. The key is that his pockets are almost empty now. Now that a caravan comes, isn't that equivalent to giving away a head?

If they were put into the city, this caravan would not be meat on his chopping board.

Following the deputy general to the top of the city, King Du Zhizhi looked down from the city, and his eyes lit up at that time.

There are about 50 people in the caravan, and there are almost [-] carts of goods, and the carriages are full.

What made Du Zhizhi most happy was that there were some women among those businessmen.

See these women.Du Zhizhi's doubts eased a bit, he was too familiar with Daming's army, and there was no army with female soldiers.

Just in case, the old traitor still said to the lieutenant general:

"Ask them where they came from and where they are going."

"Yes"

The lieutenant general's mind was different from Du Zhizhi's. Although the women in the city couldn't see clearly because of the distance.

But judging from his figure, his looks were pretty good. He hadn't tasted femininity for a long time.

The kid agreed, and immediately asked loudly to the caravan:

"The caravan under the city, where did you come from? Where are you going in this chaos?"

The leader of the caravan was a young man in his twenties, who showed no signs of martial arts.

Hearing the inquiry from the head of the city, he hastily bowed to salute: Recommended reading../../

"Master Jun, we are all merchants from Shanxi. We were blocked in the capital because of the siege of the Dashun army, and we are now transporting a batch of salt and rice to Zhangjiakou.

We are all returning home, if the military master can let us go there, there will be a lot of money. "

Shanxi merchants, that is the great god of wealth, now everyone knows that Shanxi merchants are very rich, it seems that the sky is endless and I am Du Zhizhi.

If they were let directly into the city, these merchants might suspect that the old eunuch decided to use some means, even if they couldn't rob them, they would still have to blackmail them.

So Du Zhizhi shouted to the caravan with his old duck voice:

"Since you are from the capital, let me ask you, who is the winner of the Dashun army or the Ming army in the capital?"

"My lord, the war between the two families has stopped now. They are negotiating. I heard that King Chuang will lead his troops back to Shaanxi soon, so our caravan can leave the city."

Du Zhizhi was overjoyed, no wonder he couldn't find out anything about the situation in the capital. It turned out that the two were negotiating, and it was certain that Emperor Chongzhen had agreed to King Chuang's conditions.

Otherwise, with so many teams, it is impossible for there to be no movement. Besides, Daming is absolutely incapable of defending the capital right now.

Since he was very clear about the strength of the capital, Du Zhizhi almost dispelled all his doubts. His goal was this caravan.

Don't naively think that the rogues are really a team of ordinary people. In those days, few troops did not rob people and businesses, even some Ming soldiers did.

In the end, in order to test the authenticity of the caravan, Du Zhizhi still pretended not to let it go. If the caravan refused to leave, there might be problems.

If the caravan has no choice but to leave, it can prove that they are a real caravan, and Du Zhizhi immediately sent troops out of the city to rob the caravan.

"I'm sorry, we haven't heard the news, and we can't believe what you said. It's better to ask your caravan to take a detour. It won't work."

"When he heard that it could not be released, the young man was anxious at that time:

"My lord, our trip has been delayed for too long, please let us go, the caravan can send you a few carts of supplies."

"My lord, let them pass through the city, and they will give me supplies."

How did the lieutenant understand Du Zhizhi's careful thinking, for the sake of the women in the caravan, he began to intercede for the caravan.

Du Zhizhi stared:

"Shut up, our family has its own reasons and refuses to pass."

Seeing that Du Zhizhi was still not allowed to enter the city, the young people in the caravan yelled at Du Zhizhi:

"Officer dog, you are all thieves and soldiers who eat people and don't spit out your bones. You are desperate to save. At worst, I will send all the supplies to the Dashun Army outside the capital city and go back."

After the young man cursed, he waved at the caravan, and the caravan started up again, ready to return to the capital.

"My lord, you can't let them go in vain. Give the general a command arrow, and the general will go and snatch them back."
