Chapter 73: Mysterious Caravan

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

"Lord Overseer, it can't be a treacherous city outside the field, you will know if you go and see it."

"Okay, lead the way."

Although Du Zhizhi said so, his heart also began to move, and now there is a shortage of food in the city.

After holding on for some time, he still has to pay out of his own pocket to purchase military rations, the key is that his pockets are about to be emptied now, and now a caravan comes, isn't that equivalent to giving away people's heads?

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

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

The caravan consisted of about fifty people, and there were about twenty wagons of cargo, and the wagons were piled to the brim.

What made Du Zhizhi happiest was that there were still some women among those businessmen.

See these women. Du Zhizhi's suspicion was reduced a little, he was too familiar with the army of the Ming Dynasty, and there were no female soldiers in any army.

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 deputy general's mind is different from Du Zhizhi's, and the women in the city, although they can't see clearly because of the distance.

But judging from the figure, the appearance is still good, and he hasn't tasted femininity for a long time.

The kid agreed, and immediately asked in a loud voice to the caravan below:

"The caravan under the city, where did you come from, where are you going?"

The person at the head of the caravan was a young man in his twenties, and he didn't look like he had martial arts at all.

Hearing the city's inquiry, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted:

"Master Jun, we are all Jin merchants, some time ago because of the siege of the Dashun army delayed the trip, blocked in Beijing, and now transport a batch of salt and rice to Zhangjiakou.

We are all like arrows, if the military master can raise his noble hand and let us pass, there will be a lot of silver. ”

Jin merchants, that is the god of wealth, now who doesn't know that Jin merchants are all very rich, it seems that the sky is endless.

If they were allowed to enter the city directly, the merchants might suspect that the old eunuch would decide to use some means, even if they could not rob them, they would extort a sum of money.

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

"Since you are from the Beijing Division, then our family asks you, who loses and who wins now between the Beijing Division Dashun Army and the Ming Army?"

"Lord Hui, the two families have stopped the war now, they are negotiating, I heard that King Chuang will soon lead his troops back to Shaanxi, so our caravan can go out of the city."

Du Zhizhi was overjoyed, no wonder he couldn't inquire about the situation in Jingshi at all, it turned out that the two families were negotiating, and Emperor Chongzhen must have agreed to King Chuang's conditions.

Otherwise, with so many teams, it is impossible not to have a little movement, and besides, Da Ming is absolutely not capable of holding the Jingshi now.

Because he was very clear about the strength of the Jing Division, the suspicions in Du Zhizhi's heart were almost completely dispelled, and his target was this caravan.

Don't be naïve to think that the Liukou are really the ranks of the common people, there were very few armies in those days that did not rob the people and merchants, even some Ming troops were like this.

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

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

"I'm sorry, we didn't get the news, we can't believe what you said, let's ask your caravan to take a detour, this pass won't work."

When he heard that he could not be released, the young man was anxious:

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

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

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

Du Zhizhi's eyes widened:

"Shut up, our family has its own reason to refuse to pass."

The young man in the caravan, seeing that Du Zhizhi was still not allowed to enter the city, scolded Du Zhizhi:

"Dog officers and soldiers, you are all thieves and soldiers who eat people and don't spit out bones, you are not saving you when you see death, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu will send all the materials to the Dashun army outside the city of Jingshi, go back."

The young man scolded and waved at the caravan, and the caravan started again, ready to return to Beijing.

"My lord, you can't let them go in vain, give the last general an arrow, and the last general will go and snatch them back."

The deputy general wanted to give Du Zhizhi a slap at this time, but he still didn't have the courage, so he had to beg Du Zhizhi bitterly.

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

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

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

"Quick, open the gates and 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, and the deputy general scolded the old eunuch for his nervousness a few times in his heart.

Then he ordered the city gate to be opened, and led 200 soldiers out of the city as quickly as possible.

How could the caravan outrun their cavalry, which was quickly intercepted:

"Don't run, our adults have already allowed you to pass through the Juyong Pass, go back quickly."

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

The lieutenant general's position, fools could see bad intentions, and the caravan decisively rejected him.

The adjutant general suddenly smiled coldly, and then revealed his true form:

"You don't count what you said, come and escort the caravan back to Juyong Pass."

"Yes"

The soldier agreed, stepped forward and surrounded the caravan, and when the young man saw so many thieves, he gave up resisting after a few struggles.

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

"Hahaha, is this good, come on, little lady, ride the same horse with General Ben."

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

The woman trembled with fright, and gently pushed the big hand that the adjutant put into the dress:

"General, please don't do this, take your hands away......"

"Don't, General Ben likes this, don't follow the caravan in the future, stay by General Ben's side, General Ben promises you to be happy."

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

The other soldiers looked at the dozen or so beauties, and they all let out a burst of evil laughter, completely letting their guard down.

As they spoke, a group of men and horses gradually approached the city gate.

Soon half of the convoy was entering the city, and the other half was slowly crossing the drawbridge.

The gate of Juyong Pass is very wide, and it is completely possible for two carriages to enter the city at the same time, but the convoy only takes one formation, and the general roads are all vacant.

The adjutant general held a beautiful woman in his arms and didn't ask about anything.

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

"Oops......"

"Plop"

Suddenly, the lieutenant screamed and fell directly from his horse to the ground, with a short knife pierced in his heart.
