Chapter 937: An Empty City Plan?
Cui Hongdu still underestimated Dugumu's ability!

In order to preserve his strength, he split a large army in the northeast into dozens of troops, and entered Beijing from different directions, but Dugu Mu defeated them one by one!

In the end, Cui Jiajun's million-strong army had less than 50 troops left after two months!

But the 50 soldiers and horses trained by Cui Hongdu are enough to overthrow the entire capital!

Especially when Cui Hongdu captured all the three princes who were sent out of the capital by Duguping, the situation became even more tense.

Those three princes were originally Duguping's younger brothers, but after he usurped the throne, these three princes voluntarily surrendered to him, and were willing to leave the capital, abandon their military power, and go to three remote towns in the northwest, southwest, and northeast to serve as lords of thousands of households. , I have been idle for decades, but I was thought to be captured by Cui Hongdu, and they became hostages in their hands!

And the imperial army in the capital only has a total of 30 soldiers, and the troops around the capital are only about 50, which is still slightly inferior to Cui Hongdu's [-] troops.

Especially when the news of the capture of the three princes reached the capital, the entire royal family was in a state of panic.

Although most of these collaterals are in the capital, there are quite a few descendants scattered all over the country. At this time, Cui Hongdu took the three princes directly as hostages, which is also a serious warning to the members of the royal family!

And Duguquan, whom Cui Hongdu wanted to support, also disappeared overnight in the capital. No matter how Zimin searched, he couldn't find his whereabouts.

Cui Hongdu also lost news of Duguquan, and was so angry that he smashed several antique jade wares!
It is not only Duguquan who is missing, but also the child of Peacock!
Therefore, the whereabouts of the two candidates that Cui Hongdu wanted to hold as puppets were all missing, which caused him a great headache, so he directly selected two more candidates from the direct descendants of the three princes.

Cui Hongdu's 50 army rushed to Zhengzhou and stopped, because he found that all the roads from Zhengzhou to the capital were unimpeded!
Without the resistance from the capital, Cui Hongdu was a little worried instead!

He was worried that if he was not careful, he would fall into Dugumu's trick!

The spies in front came to report that all the official roads from Zhengzhou to the capital were completely undefended!
In other words, if Cui Hongdu rushed towards the capital in one go, he would be able to reach the Daxing Palace in the capital within ten days!
However, Cui Hongdu, who had experienced the battlefield, hesitated when he learned that the road ahead was smooth, and cautiously camped directly in Zhengzhou, waiting for an excellent opportunity.

The people of Zhengzhou had already fled before Cui's army arrived, and the whole Zhengzhou became an abandoned city, which instead gave Cui Hongdu's army a place to stay.

But when Cui Hongdu faced Zhengzhou, an empty city, he still cautiously dispersed his heavy troops to hundreds of miles around Zhengzhou, just in case.

And when Cui Hongdu took the army to station in Zhengzhou, he found that the whole Zhengzhou was really an empty city. Except for the house, there was really no other extra things. The food and supplies were basically empty!
Not only is there no supply in Zhengzhou, even the villages and towns within a hundred miles have no food!
Cui Hongdu felt more and more strange about this matter, so he had to intensify his defenses, and asked all the soldiers to reduce their rest time when camping, and prepare for battle at any time.

In this way, all the soldiers who camped were nervous, for fear of being attacked by the enemy.
