One is for revenge, and the other is untenable in this grassland and wants to plunder before leaving, and the two sides hit it off.

The solution given by Fan Yongdou was to try to lead the Mongol soldiers from Qilibao into the border wall.

"There are my people up and down Qilibao, from the garrison to the general banner of the hundred households below have been bought by my Fan family, I can try to take you to sneak into the side wall, and then you take the opportunity to seize Qilibao."

Karaqin Khan thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "The terrain of Qilibao is steep, and there is no side gate to open the grassland to inside and outside, a small number of people can climb over on foot, and the cavalry of the brigade cannot pass at all." The best way to enter the wall is still Zhangjiakou. ”

Zhangjiakou is built in a valley with open terrain, which is suitable for a large group of people to enter and exit, and has always been the main road to enter the grassland from Xuanfu, which Fan Yongdou naturally knows. But:

"Hong Chengchou personally sits in Zhangjiabao, the defense is extremely tight, and my Fan family's foundation in Zhangjiabao has been swept away, I am afraid that I will not be able to help the Great Khan take Zhangjiakou."

Fan Yongdou was embarrassed.

Qalaqin Khan said: "Last month's horse market trade was canceled for no reason, and I will send people to Zhangjiakou to protest to the Ming Dynasty officials, demanding that the horse market be opened in three days." If Hong Chengchou agrees, I will send a large group of men to enter the horse market with weapons and pretend to trade, and then send a small number of elite soldiers to infiltrate from Qilibao with you, you can pretend to be a Ming army to go to Zhangjiakou, and the inside and outside should jointly break through the city defense of Zhangjiakou Mashi, and the cavalry of the brigade will rush in from Zhangjiakou, and then capture Zhangjiabao. ”

Fan Yongdou praised: "The Great Khan is wise. ”

On the same day, Qaraqin Khan sent an envoy to Zhangjiakou, demanding that trade in the horse market be opened as soon as possible.

......

Zhangjiabao.

After listening to his subordinates' account of the Mongols' requirements, Hong Chengchou sneered: "The Karaqin Department has just been defeated by the Chahar Department, and it is when the army's morale is broken, and the Karaqin Khan is still in the mood to do business with the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Xu Xianchun said: "What do you mean is that there is fraud in it? ”

These days, Xu Xianchun has not been idle, and has recruited a lot of Jinyi Wei spies on the spot, including Mongolians, who have gone out to inquire everywhere for news, and the news that the Karaqin Tumut coalition army was defeated by Chahar was found by these Mongolian spies.

Hong Chengchou said: "It's not good to say, I always feel that something is wrong." Shen Di, Fan Yongdou and others had such a big conspiracy to incite the Xuanfu rebels to besiege Zhangjiabao, how could they give up colluding with the Tartars? The Mongols have not moved for a long time, and I thought that the Qalaqin Khan had no intention of looking south because of the war with the Chahar tribe, but now it seems that most of them have been moved by Fan Yongdou. ”

"Then we refuse to open a horse market." Xu Xianchun suggested.

Hong Chengchou shook his head: "If you don't open the horse market, how can the Karaqin tribe's conspiracy be carried out?" How did my Ming intervene in the Mongol dispute? ”

"Your Excellency, do you want it?" Xu Xianchun asked in surprise, he never expected that Hong Chengchou's plan was so big, and he would even intervene in the battle between the Mongolian tribes.

"At present, Mongol is in turmoil, and the various departments are attacking each other, as long as the planning is good, maybe the Mongols can be used by me and control the Monan grassland. If Huang Taiji cannot break through the defense line of Liaoxi, he will inevitably set his sights on Mongolia and will try to recover the Mongolian tribes. So I'm going to start first. Hong Chengchou said.

"I will show your majesty, and then transfer the elite of the guards to Zhangjiakou. Commander Xu, you send more Jinyi guards to lurk inside and outside the border wall to investigate the movements of the Mongols, and you must not miss anything. ”

"Reply to the Mongols, three days later, the horse market trade will officially begin!"

......

After receiving Hong Chengchou's permission to open the market, Qaraqin Khan was overjoyed and began to gather his subordinates to prepare for the invasion.

Karaqin Khan ordered Taiji Buyan Ahai to lead 3,000 Mongol soldiers, led by Fan Yongdou himself, abandoned the war horse, and climbed over the side wall from Qilibao on foot. Ordered another Taiji Ayanda to lead 3,000 troops to drive away the horses, cattle and sheep, and enter the Zhangjiakou horse market on the day the market opened.

And Qalaqin Khan himself, with more than 10,000 cavalry, hid in the grassland north of Zhangjiakou, waiting for Buyan Ahai and Ayanda to open the side gate after seizing Zhangjiakou, and then rushed in.

In order to take revenge, Fan Yongdou worked tirelessly, personally led the way to the Mongols, reached the outside of the border wall of Qilibao, and then sent his son Fan Sanba to get in touch with Qilibao in person.

When night fell, Fan Sanba took a few servants to the side wall, one of the servants blew a whistle, and a hanging basket hung down from the city wall, and Fan Sanba and the servants sat on the hanging basket and were pulled up to the city.

"Master Fan, why are you back?" A hundred households of the Ming army were shocked and said, "Now the imperial court is looking for you!" ”

Fan Sanba smiled faintly: "Lao Liu, you won't report me to the imperial court, right?" ”

Baihu, surnamed Liu, was suddenly anxious: "Master Fan, my life was saved by you and Master Fan, how could I have my today without you, how could I report you?" But Master Fan, it's really not safe for you to be in Xuanfu now. ”

Fan Sanba said: "I have no choice, I have to go back to Jiexiu's hometown and take my wife and children out, I can't watch them being assigned." ”

Liu Baihu sighed: "That's what I said. ”

Fan San pulled out a handful and grabbed Liu Baihu's hand: "Old Liu, you must help me once!" I have hired some men in Mongolia, and I will definitely be able to take my family, and if you lend me a road to use, I will definitely not be able to treat you badly. ”

Liu Baihu said unhappily: "Master Fan, what did you say?" There are hundreds of people up and down in these seven miles of fort, and that one has not received your favor? Isn't it just borrowing the way, you and your men are in the past! ”

Fan Sanba said happily: "Thank you, brother." ”

As he spoke, he stuffed two ingots of gold.

Liu Baihu shirked: "No, how can I accept your money from Master Fan." ”

Fan Sanba held Liu Baihu's hand: "Old Liu, this money is not only for you, but also for your brothers, let the big guy keep their mouths tight, just act as if they didn't see anything." ”

Liu Baihu no longer shirked: "Then I'll be embarrassed." ”

Stuffing the gold into his arms, Liu Baihu arched his hand to Fan San and went straight down the city wall.

"Pass my word, everyone goes to bed early tonight, and they are not allowed to go out to see any movement outside." Liu Baihu commanded as he walked.

"Yes." His soldiers said excitedly, knowing that they were going to get rich again.

In an instant, the entire section of the city wall was empty.

"Drop the rope and blow the whistle." Fan Sanba said lightly.

The whistle blew again, and dark shadows appeared outside the side wall, and began to climb up the rope with a rope.

Soon, the walls were filled with Mongol soldiers.

"If only there was a side door here."

Crossing the side wall so easily, Taiji Buyan Ahai said regretfully. People can hold on to the rope and cross the side wall, but the war horse cannot, and without the war horse, the Mongol warriors lose at least half of their combat effectiveness.

In the dark, Fan Sanba pursed his lips. If you want to eat fart, the entire Xuanfu Town is nearly a thousand miles away, and there is a side gate in Zhangjiakou! If there is no Lao Tzu, it is impossible for you Tartars to enter the side wall!

"Lord Taiyoshi, let's leave." Fan Yongdou also climbed up and urged.

Buyan Ahai smiled sneeringly: "Leaving what? Slaughter these seven libao first. ”

Fan Sanba was shocked: "How dare you do this? They're helping us! ”

Buyan Ahai smiled and said, "They are helping gold!" If you don't slaughter Qilibao, how can you get the clothes of the Ming army? If you don't pretend to be a Ming army, I'm afraid you won't be able to go far and you will be noticed. ”

"But ......" Fan Sanba wanted to say more, but was pulled by Fan Yongdou.

With a wave of his hand, thousands of Mongol soldiers descended the side wall and rushed towards the houses in the fort.
