Chapter 73 Mysterious Caravan
Du Zhizhi was a little suspicious of the caravan outside the city, but the deputy general didn't care at all:
"Mr. Military Supervisor, it is impossible for spies to cheat the city outside the field. You will know if you go and take a look."
"Okay, lead the way."
Although Du Zhizhi said that, his heart began to move, and now the city is in short supply of food.
After persisting for a while, he still had to pay out his own pocket to purchase military rations. The key is that his pockets are almost empty. Now he comes to a caravan. Isn’t that equivalent to giving away a head?
If they were put into the city, this caravan would not be the meat on his chopping board.
Following the deputy general climbed to the top of the city, Du Zhizhi's king's city saw his eyes lit up at that time.
The caravan had about fifty people, almost twenty cargoes, and the carriage was piled up.
What made Du Zhizhi most happy was that there were actually some women among the merchants.
When Du Zhizhi saw these women, he was a little less suspicious. He was too familiar with the Ming army, and no army had female soldiers at all.
Just in case, the old traitor said to the deputy general:
"Ask where they came from and where they were going."
"yes"
The deputy general's thoughts were different from Du Zhizhi. Although the women under the city could not see clearly because of the distance.
But judging from his figure, his appearance is pretty good, and he hasn't tasted feminine for a long time.
The boy agreed and immediately asked loudly to the caravan off the field:
"Where did you come from the caravan under the city? Where are you going to be in chaos?"
The leader of the caravan was a young man in his twenties, and he could not see any martial arts skills.
Hearing the question on the top of the city, he hurriedly bowed and bowed:
"Mr. Jun. We are all Shanxi merchants. Some time ago, we were blocked from the capital because the Dashun army siege the city. Now we are transporting a batch of salt and rice to Zhangjiakou.
We are all in love with each other. If the military master can give us a high hand, there will be a lot of money."
The Shanxi merchants are the great god of wealth. Now no one knows that the Shanxi merchants are all rich. It seems that the heavens do not stop me, Du Zhizhi.
If they were directly sent to the city, these merchants might suspect that the old eunuch decided to use some means, even if they could not rob, they would have to blackmail them.
So Du Zhizhi used his husband's duck voice to shout to the caravan:
"Since you are from the capital, then our family will ask you, who will win or lose from the Dashun Army and the Ming Army in the capital now?"
"Report to the Lord, the two families have stopped the war now and they are negotiating. I heard that the King of Chuang will soon lead his troops back to Shaanxi, so our caravan was able to leave the city."
Du Zhizhi was very happy. No wonder the situation in the capital was not inquired at all. It turned out that the two families were negotiating and it was certain that Emperor Chongzhen had agreed to the conditions for the King of Chuang.
Otherwise, there would be no movement for so many teams. Besides, the Ming Dynasty is absolutely unable to defend the capital now.
Because he was very clear about the strength of the capital, Du Zhizhi's doubts were almost completely eliminated, and his target was this caravan.
Don’t be naive to think that bandits are really the ranks of the people. In those days, few armies did not rob the people and merchants, and even some Ming troops were like this.
Finally, in order to test the authenticity of the caravan, Du Zhizhi pretended not to let go. If the caravan was so arrogant, there might be problems.
If the caravan has no choice but to leave, it can prove that they are the real caravan, and Du Zhizhi immediately sent troops out of the city to rob the caravan.
"Sorry, we didn't get the news and couldn't believe what you said. Please ask your caravan to take a detour. This barrier cannot be completed."
"When I heard that I couldn't let it go, the young man was anxious at that time:
"Sir, our trip has been delayed for too long. Please let us go. The caravan can send you a few trucks of supplies."
"Sir, let them pass through the city, they will give me supplies."
The deputy general did not understand Du Zhizhi's little thoughts? For the sake of the women in the caravan, he began to plead for the caravan.
Du Zhizhi glared:
"Shut up, our family has its own reasons and refuse to pass."
When the young man in the caravan saw that Du Zhizhi still refused to enter the city, he cursed at Du Zhizhi:
"Dog Officer Army, you are all thieves who eat people and don't spit bones. You are not helping you when you die. At worst, I will give all the supplies to the Dashun Army outside the capital and go back."
After the young man scolded, he waved to the caravan, and the caravan started again and prepared to return to the capital.
"Sir, you can't let them go for nothing. Give Mo a command arrow, and Mo avenges to snatch them back."
The deputy general wanted to slap Du Zhizhi at this time, but he still didn't have the courage, so he had to beg Du Zhizhi.
Du Zhizhi ignored the deputy general at all, kept watching the caravans turn around and walked forward for hundreds of meters before he shouted loudly:
"Forget it, let's do good things today, you can go to the city."
But the caravan ignored him at all, and the carriage began to slowly walk back.
"Hurry up, open the city gate to intercept the caravan, and you must not let them leave."
Du Zhizhi was completely relieved at this time, and immediately shouted that the deputy general went out of the city to intercept the caravan. The deputy general scolded the old eunuch a few times in his heart and said that he was crazy.
Then he ordered to open the city gate and lead 200 troops out of the city quickly.
How could the caravan run past their cavalry? It was quickly stopped:
"Don't run away. We lord have allowed you to pass through Juyong Pass, go back soon."
"You guys want to rob, we won't go back."
The deputy general's situation was ill-intentioned, and the caravan decisively rejected him.
The deputy general suddenly smiled coldly, and then his true colors were revealed:
"What you said doesn't count. Come and take the caravan back to Juyongguan."
"yes"
The soldiers agreed and stepped forward to surround the caravan. Seeing so many bandits, the young man struggled for a few times and gave up resisting.
"Okay, General, don't hurt us, we will go back to the city with you."
"Hahaha, will you be good like this? Come on, little lady, ride on the same horse with me."
The deputy general laughed wildly, bent down and picked up a woman in the caravan and placed her in front of his horse.
The woman was trembling with fear and gently pushed the deputy general into her dress's big hand:
"General, please don't do this, please take your hands away..."
"No, I like this. Don't follow the caravan in the future and stay by my side. I guarantee you a happy and happy life."
"Hahaha, what the general said is that the young ladies will follow the general in the future, which will definitely be better than following the caravan..."
The other soldiers looked at the dozen beauties and laughed evilly, completely relaxing their vigilance.
As a team of people spoke, they gradually approached the city gate.
Soon half of the convoy entered the city, and half were slowly passing through the suspension bridge.
The gate of Juyongguan is very wide, and two carriages can enter the city at the same time, but the convoy only takes one formation, and the general roads are all empty.
The deputy general held a beautiful woman in his arms and ignored nothing.
The soldiers didn't think too much, and they were all staring at the dozen or so beauties, thinking in their hearts whether they could get some money.
"oops……"
"thump"
Suddenly, the deputy general screamed and fell directly from the war horse to the ground, with a short knife stabbed in his heart.
