This time, 500 people were going to be robbed, but Lin Dan Khan asked the captain of the guard to only bring 100 people next time, and said very sure that he would be able to bring things back next time, so the captain of the guard had to agree with half a doubt. Who knew that Lin Danhan thought about it and said: "A hundred people are a bit much, and if there are too many people, it will be bad, so you can take thirty people in ten days." ”

Seeing the captain of the guard looking at him in a daze, Lin Danhan smiled and said, "When the time comes, you can do this." After saying that, he beckoned him to come close and whispered a few words, and the captain of the guard suddenly realized when he heard it, and nodded again and again: "Great Khan's clever plan!" I'm going to get things done! ”

After the captain of the guards left, Tubahai asked, "Brother, do you already know who stole our things?" ”

Lin Dan Khan said: "The Jurchens are killing people and robbing things together, and besides, their forces can't do it freely in this area, at least now they can't do it, so they won't be Jurchens." The people of our headquarters are gathering to clean up, and I know exactly who is and where, so it is not the people who insert the Han headquarters x the Merte department It is impossible to run so far to grab my little thing in the west, the Duoyan Department was kept in captivity by the Ming Dynasty with the Great Wall and two side walls and can't get out, and the only people left are the Karaqin people ♀ Some people have long been eye-to-eye with the Jurchens, and now they are actually robbing my things Naturally, they don't recognize me, the Mongolian Khan, then I will take them to the knife! ”

Tubahai asked suspiciously, "Since the Karaqin people have taken refuge in the Jurchens, how can they show mercy to your guards?" ”

Lin Dan Khan said: "You don't know, on the surface, the Duoyan people respect the Karaqin people, but in fact, the real idea is the speed of the Duoyan Ministry, this world is that some people have money and status, otherwise we would not have been forced to move eastward when we inserted the Han headquarters." The Karaqin people only grab things and don't hurt people, which is the consistent style of this slippery head of Su Bu, and he doesn't want to do things in an absolute way. There is a saying in the Ming people, 'Leave a line for doing things, and it will be good to meet in the future.'" I don't think it means that I have a certain relationship with me and the Jurchens, and then make a decision when everything is right, maybe he is still thinking about whether he will really attach himself to the Ming Dynasty in the future, I have to make them sober and sober. ”

Tubahai nodded and said, "That's right, but will the Jurchens take advantage of the fire to rob?" That's their specialty. ”

Lin Danhan thought for a moment and asked, "What's wrong with the Jurchens?" ”

Tubahai said: "Ten days ago, the Jurchens suddenly retreated from Daning, and the Horqin people who followed them also retreated, did they encounter something serious? But it is not excluded that the Jurchens are confusing us. ”

Lin Dan Khan shook his head and said: "As long as he retreats, it means that there is really something, he is still a little tender in playing hide and seek with me on the grassland, it is likely that the Ming Dynasty has already started with them because of the attack on the Daling River." The Ming Dynasty has a vast area and a large population, as long as there are capable people who can concentrate manpower and material resources, it is very terrifying, plus they have powerful firearms and strong walls, we are not opponents, and the Jurchens are not opponents. If it's true that they can't stop for half a year, for me it is not enough to do half a year or three months, I want to gather this plate of loose sand from east to west. ”

One day in mid-February, Lin Dan Khan's captain of the guard brought thirty people to Gubeikou again, and the soldiers defending the city saw that they were these old acquaintances and there was no one else behind them, so they opened the gate and let them in∝ and the leader of the Ming army in the city asked: "I heard that the things you took away for the second time were robbed again, why did you only send these few people this time?" This is the last reward from the imperial court to you, can you pull things back? ”

The captain of the guard coughed and said: "Your Ming army has always used tricks, and I want to learn from you this time and use a trick, that is, I plan to rest here for two days before going back." One is because when I came, a brother accidentally fell off the horse and injured his foot, I want to take care of it here before leaving, the injured leg in the ice and snow is easy to freeze No, one reason is that I want the robber to feel the truth and truth, even if someone ambushes me on the way to see that I didn't go back, it is impossible to wait, this weather is very fatal to spend the night in the field, and the robber also spares his life. ”

The leader of the Ming army guarding the gate did not dare to make the decision when he heard it, and immediately went to report to the general guarding the pass, and the general of the gate thought about arranging the Mongols in an independent small warehouse three miles away from the pass, and asked people to closely monitor them to prevent them from breaking the ∝ The leader of the gate thought that every time the city gate changed shifts, there were dozens or hundreds of people, and more than 30 people were not afraid to make trouble, so they found someone to arrange it.

Who knew that the next morning, several of the Mongols were sick, feverish, and delirious, and they could not walk, so the generals had to allow them to stay for two more days and call the military doctors to see them, but there were more people who monitored them. The health of the Mongols is much better than that of the people of the Ming Dynasty who farmed in the Great Wall, and it is not ambiguous at all that they can resist when they are sick, and the Ming army guarding the ancient north entrance thought that after two days these Mongols would go back after their illness, who knew that after two days they found that the problem was far from so simple.

On the afternoon of the second day when the Mongols were sick, the general guarding the pass was preparing to go out to inspect everywhere, and the people guarding the pass were lonely every day, so they needed to look around and take a look to take a look and pay attention to whether there were any special circumstances.

Looking at it, I saw that the originally very wide place outside the pass was full of Mongols, everyone rode horses, some people also brought a lot of horses, although there was no sign of attack of shouting and shouting, but all of them were gloomy and did not look like how happy they were∝ the generals did not dare to be careless and hurriedly called people to report upward, and at the same time they called all the moving Ming troops to go to the Great Wall to prepare, one by one the swords out of the sheath bow on the string as if facing the enemy, the air was full of nervous taste≡ since the Longqing Peace Conference has not seen the Mongols such a large scale Chen soldiers pass, The soldiers guarding the pass have not fought for a long time, and their combat effectiveness has dropped significantly, and although they have been increasing their training intensity in the past two years, they are still very intense.

Fortunately, the Mongols only came slowly, but they gathered more and more, although they had large bags of things in their hands, but they were not bright knives and guns, and the appearance of the things in their hands was probably not a large-scale conspiracy weapon of gunpowder or something, which made the generals of the pass feel a lot more at ease. However, he did not relax his vigilance, while reporting to the upwards, he sent people to the city wall to prepare, and at the same time asked people to go to the warehouse to carry ordnance, and when the general soldier Lu Xiangsheng arrived, several cannons were added to the wall, so that Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but nod his head in approval to the generals guarding the pass.

Lu Xiangsheng came to the pass and took a look at it and said: "These people don't seem to have come to seize the pass, send two bold people out and ask them what they want to do." ”

After hearing this, the general guarding the pass immediately sent two people out of the gate, and went to the gate to inquire with the Mongols for a while, and then came back to resume his life, and at the same time brought back two Mongols, one old and one young. Lu Xiangsheng was also relieved to see this situation, and after sitting down in the camp, he asked someone to bring the two Mongols over to talk, thinking that as long as the Mongols did not come to fight, it would be easy to say anything.

Who knew that as soon as the two Mongols came to talk to him about the reason for the incident, Lu Xiangsheng knew that the matter was not so easy to say, because these Mongols had listened to the propaganda of others, indicating that the DPRK was trading with the Mongols in Gubeikou← and the people who spread it said that they could exchange wool for grain, and they could also exchange horses for grain and clothes. After listening to the words of two Mongolians, one old and one young, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly realized, no wonder many Mongolians pry several horses alone, it turns out that they want to exchange food.

Looking at the thin old man and the Mongolian boy who was as vigilant as a leopard and had a stubborn expression, Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and lost his words, he said: "This general commands all the soldiers and horses here, and has not received an order from the imperial court to open and close the market, and no one has sent grain here to the market with you, you may have been deceived, and you should go to him after listening to anyone's words, now you had better leave here immediately to avoid misunderstanding." ”

The old man was unmoved when he heard Lu Xiangsheng's words, and said slowly: "The messenger overheard the people from the Han Department talking about it in private, saying that they had traded with the Ming Dynasty several times, in addition to grain, wine and delicious cakes. Many people have heard this rumor and some have eaten it, and the people who have said that you will deny it and ask us not to believe you. ”

At this time, the young man also said: "Be fair, why do we have to slaughter our own sheep to eat when the sweat is able to get something delicious?" Did you know that slaughtering one ewe is equivalent to slaughtering several sheep now, and then we will have less and less bulge? ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "How do you believe that there is no such thing? Even if I sympathize with you, I can't turn it into food. ”

The young man said indignantly: "I saw with my own eyes fifty people from the sweat department entering the customs, and there must be something wrong with them if they didn't come out for two days!" ”

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng heard that someone from the Han Department had entered the customs and had not gone out for two days, he turned around and asked the general guarding the customs what was going on, and after listening to the report of the generals guarding the customs, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly felt that there was a problem. The people who intervene in the Han Department come in and some people are watching, and some people are secretly fanning the flames and spreading rumors to confuse the public, what do these people want to do? After thinking about the scene he began to see on the Great Wall, Lu Xiangsheng became more and more puzzled, and immediately ordered the generals guarding the pass to go to the Great Wall to guard it in person, and then asked the two Mongolians sharply: "You say that ordinary Mongolians are here to exchange things, why are most of the people standing outside young and strong?" What exactly do you have in mind? ”

The old Mongolian was a little embarrassed and said: "General, we really don't have other thoughts, the guns on your Great Wall are very powerful, and no one wants to take a hit, and it is not surprising that many people outside are young and strong, and I can honestly say that many of them are Mongolian warriors who have fought with the enemy with knives." We Mongolians are all warriors, in order to avoid your misunderstanding did not bring a knife, you see everyone is standing two miles away from the pass, indicating that we really have no other meaning just want to change some food, many people can't open the pot at home, many families are slaughtering cows and ewes with tears to spend the day, which is equivalent to the farmer selling the field to eat. ”
