Ningwu Pass was captured, much easier than in history. Under Xin Sizhong's "planning", with the sound of earth-shaking roar, coupled with the sudden force of all infantry, especially the last attack of a thousand elite soldiers brought by Yang Tingyu, Zhou Yuji died near the South City Gate before he could retreat back to the inner city.

Ningwu Pass was captured, which was much simpler than in history. After Zhou Yuji died in the battle, deputy general Jiang Guan immediately surrendered.

But this is also good. Since Zhou Yuji did not cause huge damage to the Dashun Army as in history, Li Zicheng did not massacre the city afterwards and even gave Zhou Yuji a grand funeral, which was a blessing in disgrace.

But Li Zicheng did not see Yang Tingyu after entering the city.

Near the Beiguan of Ningwu Pass, Yang Tingyu, who had already replenished cavalry, and the two armies of Yuezhenbang went north after reporting Xin Sizhong.

"The general is familiar with Datong generals, and while the other battalions did not react, our two divisions immediately went north to persuade Wang Pu to surrender. At that time, the generals will make great contributions, and Li Guo and the others will never disrespect the general again."

In theory, Xin Sizhong should have made a decision after reporting such a big event, but his greed for making this "shocking achievements" eventually gained the upper hand in his mind.

Ten days later, Yue Zhenbang came with Wang Pu and Wang Chengyin, the general of Xuanfu.

Along the way, he not only persuaded Wang Pu to surrender, but also took him to Xuanfu, and asked the general of Xuanfu Wang Chengyin to come to Ningwu Pass in person to surrender.

The general of Datong, Wang Pu, also had three thousand cavalry under his command, and Wang Chengyin, also had five thousand cavalry under his command. Although he was far inferior to Wang Pu's elite, it would be of great benefit to the capture of Beijing.

After Xin Sizhong made this shocking achievement, he no longer dared to stand out, otherwise he would bully Liu Zongmin. Tian Jianxiu was on the head, which was untolerable for the entire camp.

Li Guo and others had nothing to say. Even when Li Yan looked at them, his eyes were very eager. Of course, there were other meanings in it, which was not worth telling outsiders.

In order to commend Xin Sizhong, Li Zicheng placed Wang Pu's three thousand cavalry under his right camp, but asked Wang Pu to continue to lead the infantry, and the general of the Dashun Army, Zhang Tianlin, and three thousand troops to guard Datong. In this way, the right camp turned into a camp like Li Shuangxi's personal military camp.

However, since then, Li Zicheng asked Xin Sizhong to take the entire Youying Palace to take care of the baggage, and this situation continued until he arrived near Beijing.

After taking over Datong and Xuanfu, the passage of Dashun Army toward Beijing was completely opened. At this time, Liu Fangliang and Liu Xiyao led their army from Huaiqing and Zhangde governments and had already arrived at Baoding Prefecture!

Zhao Yingyuan's troops also entered Shandong!

After learning that Liu Fangliang and Zhao Yingyuan were both successful, Li Zicheng divided the army of Zhongquan into two groups, one of whom was in charge of the commander, and led the personal army of the army, the front camp, the left camp, the middle camp along Datong and Wanquandushi, and planned to pass through Xuanfu and Huailaiwei across the border wall and enter the capital.

The right camp of Xin Sizhong, who made great achievements, advanced along the Futuo River along the Futuo River, and they would cross Pingxing Pass and Zijing Pass to the west of the capital.

After the Dashun Army captured Datong, and after Xuanfu, he stayed in Shanxi, the Dashun Army in Xuanfu immediately launched an activity to recover stolen goods and provide funds. However, the two places are the most worth exploiting. Zhu Chuanqi, the Dai king of Datong, who was located in Datong, ran to the Daxia Kingdom outside the pass in advance like King Su of Lanzhou, but he still left a large amount of gold, silver, treasures and food for the Dashun Army.

At this time, Li Zicheng also became very interested in the "Daxia Kingdom" that suddenly emerged outside the pass. In his intelligence system, the place outside the pass was either Mongolian Tartars or Jiannu, so how could another Daxia Kingdom come?

Hearing that Wang Pu also married his own sister to someone outside the pass, Li Zicheng's suspicion became even worse, so he interrogated Wang Pu. Wang Pu knew that he could not escape this disaster, so he knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, the Great Xia Kingdom rose to the north of Mongolia, destroyed the Mongolian tribes one after another, and recently destroyed the Jiannu. His strength was far stronger than that of the previous Ola. The relatives of the thief chief fell in love with my younger sister and said that if he didn't give it to him, he would launch all the troops to invade."

"The last general has only five thousand men, so how can they be their opponents? For the sake of the safety of the Ming Dynasty, why cherish a woman? She had to marry her girl to the grassland in person."

Li Zicheng stared at him coldly for a long time before finally saying, "Forget it, so, this Daxia Kingdom cannot be easily messed with? How many people do they have under their command?"

Wang Pu replied: "I don't know the specifics, but according to the previous Mongolian tribes, there must be at least 200,000 elite cavalry. However, although they have eliminated Jiannu recently, they must have suffered heavy casualties and injuries. They will not have any ideas about the pass for a while. It will take at least one or two years. After completely digesting the territory of Liaodong, they may turn their attention to the south."

Niu Jinxing snorted coldly, "Bold! The Great Xia Kingdom is so strong, and Datong is only a short distance away from them. Why don't you surrender directly to them, but instead surrender to my Dashun?"

Wang Pu looked solemn and shook his head, "Since ancient times, Hu and Han are incompatible, my Wang family is a Han man after all."

Hearing this, Li Zicheng smiled and helped him up, "Okay, I understand, but I didn't know that there was another one. Now it seems that this Great Xia Kingdom should not be underestimated. Our pace of attacking Beijing must be accelerated. Don't be taken advantage of by the Great Xia Kingdom."

...

Just as Li Zicheng and his army were still lingering in Datong, Mutianyuguan, not far north of Miyun, also ushered in an unusual dusk.

Mutianyu Pass was originally a small pass near Miyun, but considering that this pass is closest to the capital, it was renovated when Qi Jiguang guarded Jizhou area, so that it could form a gate that could accommodate three hundred soldiers.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the border was abandoned and Mutianyu was no exception. In fact, there were less than one hundred people in the border area, which was originally 300 people. Most of these 100 people were mainly elderly and weak. The guard general was also the third generation of Dongyang soldiers brought by Qi Jiguang from Zhejiang. He was in the thirty years. He had been in the vicinity of the border area here for more than ten years. If he hadn't often went to Miyun to ask for food and wages, I'm afraid that General Miyun would have forgotten that his country had such an important barrier.

Fortunately, since the rise of the Jurchens and the decline of the Mongols, they have been in peace, and after the rise of the Great Xia Kingdom, it has become as dull as water.

On this day, it was the day when the general Xiong Wen was taken to Miyun to ask for food and wages. Xiong Wen ordered a dozen "young and strong" who were still in shape and prepared more than a dozen wheelbarrows, preparing to leave the border for Miyun the next day.

At dusk, a group of people suddenly came to the south. They looked like soldiers from the General Miyun Mansion. The person in charge was Zhang Yun, the commander of General Miyun Tang Tong. A family of military generals in their twenties was standing outside the pass with more than a dozen cavalry.

"Is it because General Tang finally remembered that there was a Mutianyuguan beside him? He asked his men to come and inspect?"

When I looked at the boss again, I saw some masters behind Zhang Yun, and some wheelbarrows were around those masters. There were one or two straw bags on each of the wheelbarrows, and the straw bags were bulging, and I don’t know what it was.

"Xiong Wen, open the door! The situation is urgent now. The general town master asked me to inspect everywhere and bring some supplies to you and others."

Xiong Wen was so happy that he was really sleepy that someone gave him a pillow. He was planning to go to Miyun early tomorrow morning to ask for it. Zhang Yun had also handled food and salary before, but it was very difficult. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to deliver food and salary today.

Seeing Xiong Wen still stood still, Zhang Yun couldn't help but curse: "I'm still standing still, do you have to wait for you to carry it?!"

Xiong Wen patted his big head and scolded himself, "It's a little fan who glared at me. Things are too sudden. I didn't react at the next moment. Atone for sins, atone for sins, I'll come down to carry them now."

When Xiong Wen brought all the people from Guancheng to the bottom and transported all the supplies, the door was closed. Just as he was about to prepare meals for Zhang Yun and the others, Zhang Yun suddenly waved his hand and surrounded Xiong Wen and the others.

"What are you doing?"

Xiong Wen thought Zhang Yun was here to make trouble, so he shouted anxiously.

Zhang Yun smiled faintly, "Xiong Wen, you falsely reported the number of soldiers and withholding military rations have been discovered by the general town. I am asking questions today."

Xiong Wen was about to resist, but firstly they had just moved the supplies and were exhausted and panting. Secondly, he had already seen that what "teacher" was following Zhang Yun, and they all got rid of the ragged clothes outside, revealing the brocade clothes inside.

"Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Xiong Wen was a little dizzy, and he was thinking in his mind: "It's just a waste of salary, and it's like this everywhere in the border area. How can he take action against me?"

But now Zhang Yun has more than a dozen cavalry, plus the dozen Jinyiwei, no one can afford to offend him, so he had to kneel down and shout, "Sir, it's unfair."

"See all, whether it is wronged or not, you will know after the official interrogation."

The man in brocade clothes said, seeing him say this, Xiong Wen felt like he had caught a straw, and he fell to the ground, "Sir, where are you interrogating?"

There is a point here. If several military generals led by them are taken and taken to the capital for interrogation, once they are in the prison of the Jinyiwei, they will have to take off a layer of skin even if they are not dead. Therefore, Xiong Wen has this question.

"Of course it's here. Go to the capital. Are you waiting for the right amount?"

Xiong Wen was overjoyed and quickly replied: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."

Since he was interrogated in Guancheng, there was room for maneuver. Xiong Wen winked, everyone put down their weapons and knelt down on the ground and let the Jinyiwei tie the people.

After holding Xiong Wen and others, the Jinyiwei did not interrogate immediately.

The next day, when Xiong Wen opened his eyes in a nervous state, he found that many people had come to Guancheng, all of whom they didn't know, but they were familiar with their clothes.

Hanhai Army!

Xiong Wen understood immediately.

What about Miyun Town? Zhang Yun had already secretly surrendered to Hanhai Army!

The resignation to the Hanhai Army was also what a young general who was as miserable as Xiong Wen wanted. He struggled to climb to a person who looked like an officer of the Hanhai Army.

"General, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender"

The man smiled, "Okay, I'm just in need of manpower."

On that day, after Hanhai Army occupied Mutianyuguan City, it immediately transformed the Guan City - opening a closed door on the side leading to the north (not before), and its purpose was self-evident.
