Chapter 419 Tongguan!
Early the next morning, while Li Zicheng sent his confidant to visit the model army camp of Lu, a caravan of great size came under the towering Tongguan.
The caravan had 145 mules and horses, each carrying a full cargo box, many of which were packed tightly and hidden, obviously containing good things.
They also have a lot of people, so there must be two or three hundred people.
Among them, the No. 40 and 50 guards not only wore swords, but also wore bird guns. Even though they were dusty at this time, the aura that had obviously seen blood and was slightly fierce could not be concealed.
Seeing that he was about to get to the city of Tongguan, the leading man in his early forties, with a thin and thin black man with extremely sharp eyes, looked like a shopkeeper. He hurriedly shouted to the guards in front of him.
Several guards hurriedly flipped off the mule and horse carriage and carefully tidied up the flag.
Suddenly, a big flag with the word "king" slowly floated away.
"stop!"
"What are you doing?"
Although the flag was lit up, the refugee army obviously did not buy it, and more than a dozen elite cavalry rushed over.
At this time, the refugee army also took great pains to guard the Tongguan Fortress.
From the Weiweiguan City, they built a continuous group of fortifications, and the original official road was almost destroyed.
As soon as he saw these people coming, the refugee army immediately took the lead in the battle formation!
"Oh, Jun Ye, Jun Ye, don't get angry, we are all duty merchants. Look, we are from the Wenxi Wang Family Trading Company. If you want to go to Qinchuan to do some business, you can ask a few Jun Ye to do it for convenience..."
As he spoke, the thin black shopkeeper's silver notes were already stuffed into the hands of the small officer in charge.
The little officer met several subordinates and was shocked.
These silver notes are actually 100 taels per bill.
They are all from Shaanxi and have always hated Shanxi people on weekdays, but they don’t hate silver bills, let alone Shanxi’s bill numbers.
It should be noted that after years of polishing by Shanxi merchants, the number of tickets in Shanxi at this time was a symbol of credibility.
At this time, there were actually 300 taels of silver here. These guys, they had to put their heads on their belts, burn, kill, loot, and never robbed so much.
Seeing the faces of the little officers and the others, the shopkeeper also realized the truth and hurriedly smiled and said, "June, please give me some convenience. When we come back from Xijing, the benefits of June and you will definitely be indispensable."
The little officer had already stuffed the silver notes into his waist pocket at this time, and it was definitely impossible to take them out again, but he suddenly sneered: "You are very brave. Now, these eight hundred miles of Qinchuan are the territory of our King of Chuang, how dare you do business?"
Although Dashun was already established at this time, the storm was too small and the various systems were far from perfect. The soldiers at the bottom were still used to calling Li Zicheng to be the "King of Breaking".
The shopkeeper was hurriedly smiling and said, "June, look at what you said. It is because Qin Chuan is the territory of King Chuang that we are here to do business, right? Now, who doesn't know that King Chuang will not pay food when he comes. June, please help me..."
As he said that, he bowed repeatedly.
The little officer collected the money but didn't want to buy it. He continued to sneer: "What are you pretending to be in this? Open it and take a look! I suspect you are spies from the Dog Officer Army, and there are prohibited items inside! Come and search for me!"
This little officer is used to burning, killing, looting and looting on weekdays. He is even more bandits than bandits, and bandits know how to follow the rules.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people ignored the dozens of guards on the caravan, rushed forward like a wolf and a tiger, chopping and chopping, directly crushing most of the cargo boxes on the mule and horse. Suddenly, many exquisite objects were revealed.
Many of them are exquisite makeup mirrors produced by Haicheng.
"Oh, Jun Ye, Jun Ye, you can't do this. We are from the Wenxi Wang family..."
"Get out!"
The shopkeeper begged repeatedly, and the guards were afraid to take action, and they were all begging to look at him.

These soldiers, however, all the little officers ignored them at all. They were already shocked by the exquisiteness of the makeup mirror, and some people had quickly started to put them in their pockets.
On this side, the soldiers behind also discovered the benefits and rushed over quickly. Seeing that they were about to rob, the shopkeeper was so shocked that he sat on the ground, and Taotao cried endlessly.
At this time, the head coach of Tongguan City, Liu Fangliang, who had just been named the general of the Left Camp, had just gotten up and was accused of patrolling the city wall. He soon discovered something was wrong here and hurriedly called his personal soldiers: "Go and see what's going on."
Soon, the personal soldiers took the shopkeeper to the city, put a small basket and hung him in the air near the city.
The shopkeeper's pants were scared to pee. Fortunately, he had a good eye and soon realized that Liu Fangliang was not an ordinary person, and he was busy telling their background with tears in his nose.
"Wenxi Wang Family?"
Liu Fangliang frowned slightly. He had heard of the Wang family in Pingyao, but he had never heard of the Wang family in Wenxi. Didn’t Wenxi all have the surname Pei?
Back then, the Pei family was the leader of the five and seven surnames in the world.
"Shopkeeper, why haven't I heard of Wenxi Wang's family? Are you spies?"
Liu Fangliang looked at the shopkeeper with fun.
The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Oh, General, you, you really wronged us. Our team was born in Pingyao. Later, the master set up his own business and took root in Wenxi. In a blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years. General, we are all doing serious business. I heard that the King of Chuang has a new look and just want to ask for something..."
"oh?"
"You dare to come to our business?"
When Liu Fangliang heard about the business, he became energetic and looked at the shopkeeper with a bright look.
At this time, although they occupied Xijing and dominated the hinterland of Qinchuan, Qinchuan had been defeated in recent years. It was supported by the imperial court before, but it could barely be maintained. However, the refugee army surrounded this place for several months. Not only did the city have a shortage of food, but various daily necessities were even more serious.
If someone comes to do business, wouldn’t it mean that they have already recognized Dashunchao?
"General, you, don't scare the little ones. The little one is really just a businessman. Don't talk about you, the little ones have been in the depths of the Tartars two thousand miles north. We really only do innocent business, not spies, and not bad things..."
"hehe."
"You shopkeeper is very capable. It's not impossible to come to our side to do business, but let's bring your list first!"
"General, there is no problem with giving you a list. Our Wang family has prepared gifts for you a long time ago, but you may not be able to return your soldiers to us first..."
"What?"
"You guys snatch things? That bastard is so ugly that he is so embarrassed. Why don't you give it back to others quickly! The Wang family is a great merchant!"
This shopkeeper is not only smart, good at observing words and expressions, but also very good at speaking. Soon, he moved Liu Fangliang.
Soon, his team was given a green light and slowly entered Tongguan City.
...
Time flies very quickly, just as the shopkeeper accompanied Liu Fangliang to drink and chat, and the sky and the sea were chatting for a while, the sky gradually began to darken.
At this time, in a dense forest more than ten miles northeast of Tongguan, Wang Pu shrank timidly and looked at Xu Changqing, who was staring at the rolling Yellow River water not far away in a daze: "Changqing, Lao Si and the others, can they do it?"
Xu Changqing suddenly smiled: "Brother, the fourth brother is yours. Do you think he can do it?"
"this……"
Wang Pu was speechless and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.
After a moment, he lowered his head dejectedly, "Changqing, brother, brother, brother knows his mistake. Brother is so worried about lard. You, can you give me another chance..."
Looking at Wang Pu's dejected look, Xu Changqing couldn't help but sigh, threw Wang Pu a cigar and lit one himself.
To be honest, Wang Pu’s shortcomings are real
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There are many, but one thing that ordinary people cannot have, that is, sincerity and trust in Xu Changqing, and his butt has always been very straight!
Back then, if it weren't for Wang Pu, Xu Changqing would not have done such a career in Song Jin, so he jumped up and went straight to the ninth level of heaven!
As soon as Xu Changqing entered Qinchuan, Wang Pu contacted him immediately, and immediately took a detour to Shanxi and rushed for more than a thousand miles. In the shortest time, he met Xu Changqing.
This time, Xu Changqing wanted to take Tongguan, but Wang Pu did not say anything at all. He sent out his confidant aide Zhou Laosi, and the elite were even more unsavory.
"Brother, do you know why I'm angry with you? Is this a joke in the military and national affairs? Why did I tell you back then? You just can't listen?!! Do you know, now, stop talking about you, what is the situation in our Ming Dynasty?"
Xu Changqing took a deep breath of the cigar, without giving Wang Pu any face, and scolded him.
Wang Pu hurriedly lowered his head like a primary school student, and was neat, but his face showed joy.
Based on his understanding of Xu Changqing, the more he said good things, the more polite Xu Changqing was, so he would not think about it. On the contrary, if he scolded him, it would probably be over.
Looking at Wang Pu's appearance, Xu Changqing was also a little helpless.
This guy is okay to make soy sauce, but it is basically impossible to make him take the blame.
However, Long gave birth to nine sons, and his sons were different. Xu Changqing could not expect everyone to be the only one. Wang Pu was originally a businessman, so how could he have too high expectations for him?
Now, even if Wang Pu does something unreasonable and something big happens, Xu Changqing still wants to protect him!
One more friend is definitely much more reliable than one more enemy.
In particular, Xu Changqing knows Wang Pu very well and can steadily ensure that Wang Pu can use it for him.
"Brother, don't think too much. The fourth brother is a clever person, so there shouldn't be a big problem. Now that the Xu hour is over, go and prepare well. At the end of the Hai hour, let's do it on time! As long as you take Tongguan, you will almost be able to overcome your achievements."
"Okay, Changqing, I'll make arrangements right away. Don't worry, tonight, my Datong Army will definitely be a suicide squad!"
...
The night gradually became darker.
The drinking party between Zhou Laosi and Liu Fangliang is also coming to an end.
After drinking the last glass of wine, Zhou Laosi gave Liu Fangliang another jade bracelet, so he carefully took the initiative.
Seeing Zhou Laosi leave, one of Liu Fangliang's confidant soldiers frowned and said, "Master, I always feel something is wrong with this profiteer."
Liu Fangliang sneered: "It's no wonder that he is just a spy from the court, but so what? Those who can bring us money are good people! Okay, don't think too much, just take a break early. The Wenxi Wang family is just the first one. In the future, our lives will get better and better!"
The personal soldiers bit their lip and wanted to say something, but in the end they didn't say it. However, after taking a break, he whispered a few words to several personal soldiers, and the personal soldiers quickly stared at Zhou Laosi.
Zhou Laosi, who returned to a small house in Guancheng, carefully locked the door to death, and was already sweating profusely.
Too dangerous!
He was a scholar. During his time in Datong, he had a lot of contact with many shopkeepers. He thought he could imitate 70% or 80%, but Liu Fangliang had a pair of old eyes. For a few moments tonight, he thought he was going to be exposed. Unexpectedly, Liu Fangliang was light and exposed the matter.
Zhou Laosi didn’t know whether Liu Fangliang discovered it or not.
After a long time, he recovered and quickly asked his confidant outside the door: "How is it? They didn't move our goods, right?"
The confidant hurriedly whispered: "I searched several times, but I haven't found our stuff. Master, will we do it tonight?"
Zhou Laosi hesitated for a moment, and his face suddenly stern: "How can you not do it? The glory and wealth are here today! I inform the brothers to be smart. After doing this, we will be enough for the rest of our lives!"
