Da Ming started to ascend the throne

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 enquiry, he hastily bowed and saluted:

"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."

The deputy general wanted to slap Du Zhizhi, but he still didn't have the courage, so he begged Du Zhizhi bitterly.

Du Zhizhi ignored the lieutenant general at all, and watched the caravan turn around coldly, and then walked a few hundred meters forward, before he shouted:

"Forget it, our family will do good deeds today, you go to the city."

But the caravan ignored him at all, and the carriage began to walk back slowly.

"Quickly, open the city gates and stop the caravan. They must not be allowed to leave."

Du Zhizhi was completely relieved at this moment, and immediately called the lieutenant to go out of the city to stop the caravan. The lieutenant scolded the old eunuch for being crazy in his heart.

Then he ordered the city gate to be opened and led two hundred soldiers to leave the city quickly.

How could the caravan run past their cavalry, and be quickly stopped:

"Don't run away, our lord has allowed you to pass through Juyongguan, go back quickly."

"You guys are trying to rob, we won't go back."

Even a fool could see that the lieutenant general had malicious intentions, so the caravan decisively rejected him.

The deputy general suddenly smiled coldly, and then revealed his true colors:

"What you say doesn't count, come and escort the caravan back to Juyongguan."

"Yes"

The soldier agreed, and stepped forward to surround the caravan. Seeing so many bandits, the young man gave up his resistance after a few struggles.

"Okay, general, don't hurt us, we will go back to the city with you."

"Hahaha, is this good? Come on, little lady, ride the same horse with this general."

The lieutenant laughed wildly, bent down and picked up a woman from the caravan and put it in front of his horse.

The woman trembled in fear, and gently pushed the lieutenant general's big hand that had been stretched into his dress:
"General, please don't do this, please take your hands away..."

"No, this general likes it like this. Don't follow the caravan in the future, but stay with this general. This general guarantees you a happy life."

"Hahaha, what the general said is that the ladies will follow the general in the future, it will definitely be better than following the caravan..."

Looking at the dozen or so beauties, the other soldiers laughed evilly and completely relaxed their vigilance.

While talking, a group of people gradually approached the city gate.

Soon half of the convoy entered the city, and the other half were slowly crossing the suspension bridge.

The city gate of Juyongguan was so wide that it was possible for two carriages to enter the city at the same time, but the convoys only traveled in one formation, and the general roads were all vacant.

The lieutenant held a beautiful woman in his arms and didn't bother to ask anything.

The soldiers didn't think too much, their eyes were fixed on the dozen or so beauties, and they wondered if they could get some light.

"oops……"

"thump"

Suddenly the lieutenant screamed and fell directly from his horse to the ground with a dagger stuck in his heart.
