In the lobby of Xianghe County, which was temporarily used as the Central Military Hall, Cao Wenzhao was sitting in the middle of the lobby, while Li Laoer and Cao Bianjiao stood on the left and right respectively. Because of the discussion of major military affairs, Xianghe County Magistrate temporarily avoided it.

"Even if there are no real slaves in the city, the city of Gu'an is not easy to attack. The Mongolian Tatars and surrendered soldiers can hold the city and wait for their labor, which is not good for our army. Gu'an is only 150 miles away from Lugou Bridge. If the Tartars are alarmed, the real slaves will only take two days to rush back from Lugou Bridge. Can our army break Gu'an within two days?" Cao Wenzhao felt that it was impossible to break the city within two days. Once Gu'an could not be conquered Gu'an, the Later Jin army would rush back, and the Ming army would be in danger.

Li Laoer said: "You can't attack forcefully, you can only get ahead of your wits."

Cao Wenzhao laughed: "General Li Xiao, are you going to think of a sneak attack again? How many times have you attacked the Tartars before? Every time it succeeded. It would be strange if the Tartars could make you successfully attack this time. You have used the same method several times. Even if it is a dog, you will remember this stick, let alone the Tartars."

"After the Tartars suffered a few losses, they would definitely be more alert, and the passwords and other things would be changed more frequently. It would be more difficult for us to get into the city. But I already have a way. The food, grass and cloth that the Tartars robbed were stored in Gu'an City? They used Mongolian Tartars to monitor surrendered soldiers and escort the captives to escort food, so that we have a chance."

"Then, how do you want to get into the city?"

"Find a few cars, build a mezzanine, and let a few of the most elite brothers hide in it. Then disguise themselves as baggage vehicles, we sacrifice some food and grass to go out to let the Tartars get rid of them, so that the Tartars will naturally send our people into the city."

"What if the Tartars do not enter the city and go to the Zhennu of Lugou Bridge, what should we do?" Cao Wenzhao asked again. As a veteran on the battlefield, he knew that this plan was indeed a clever plan, but there were many uncertainties on the battlefield. If the Mongols robbed the Ming army's baggage team and did not send food and grass into Gu'an City, but to the Later Jin army camp in Lugou Bridge, then Li Laoer and the others would never dare to attack the Later Jin army camp, and it would be impossible to succeed.

"Perform to the situation. Anyway, let's try it. If it doesn't work, we will give up attacking Gu'an City and deal with the Mongolian Tartars who plundered the people around us."

Li Laoer used a Trojan horse strategy. Anyway, he did not seek ambition to attack Gu'an. If he could succeed, he would succeed. If he couldn't succeed, he would give up. It would be no problem to deal with a few Mongolians who looted the people in the villages next to him.

"If it fails, wouldn't our brothers be sacrificed in vain?" Cao Bianjiao asked.

"Of course, we cannot let our brothers die in vain! If we find that the Mongolian Tartars are taking the wrong route, we will not march towards Gu'an, but towards Lugou Bridge, and we will immediately take action to defeat the Mongolian Tartars and rescue the brothers hiding in the mezzanine in the car."

Two days later, thirty miles northeast of Gu'an County, a team of about 500 Mongolian soldiers were plundering nearby. Six villages around were already suffering. Five hundred Mongolian soldiers escorted more than 5,000 people, drove hundreds of livestock, hundreds of carts, and brought the robbed food, gold, silver and treasures, and returned with full loads.

Just as the Mongolians returned with full load, several scouts and whistle cavalry came back to report: "Lord Zhuoliktu, ten miles away, there is a Mingdog baggage team walking from the south towards Tongzhou, with about a thousand troops."

"Minggou baggage team?" Zhuoliktu laughed, "It's the credit that came to the door! We went to rob them!"

"We used to rob them, who was the Han people watching them?" asked a Mongolian soldier.

"Immediately send someone to report the message to Gu'an City and ask Han Dai, the Han Dog, to come over to me immediately and ask him to take the people of Minggou into the city!" Zhuoliktu snorted coldly.

Several Mongolian scouts and mail cavalry immediately rode their horses to Gu'an County, ordering the Ming army to surrender Qianhu Han Dai to take his men out of the city immediately to replace the Mongolians and take the looted people back to Gu'an.

Han Dai received the order from the Mongolians and did not dare to neglect it. He immediately brought ten servants and fifty cavalrymen and hurried out of the city. He followed the five hundred Ming army surrendered infantry, running on foot, and following the cavalry.

Half an hour later, Han Dai and sixty cavalry arrived first.

"Han Qianhu, I will allocate you twenty more brothers, and you will help take these Ming people back to the city." Zhuoliktu pointed to a large group of captured people and carts, and said to Han Dai.

"Zhe!" Han Dai beat him up.

Zhuoliktu led 480 cavalrymen to the direction where the scout cavalry had just said that they discovered the Ming army's baggage team.

Han Dai and sixty Ming cavalry and twenty Mongolian cavalry were escorting more than 5,000 captured Han people. Although only more than 80 were guarding the people, none of the more than 5,000 people resisted, and no one wanted to escape. They were all honestly tied into a string, and walked towards Gu'an City under the custody of the Ming army's surrendered soldiers and the Mongolians.

Zhuoliktu arrived at the avenue with Mongolian cavalry. It was more than an hour since the scouts came to report that the Mongols did not see the shadow of the baggage team.

"There are signs of a clear dog passing by on the ground." A Mongolian soldier pointed at the snow.

On the snow, there are wheel marks, human footprints and horse hoof marks.

Zhuoliktu rolled over and dismounted and walked to the wheel mark. He looked at the wheel mark on the ground and found that the traces of the wheels left in the snow were very deep, which showed that the car was full of supplies.

"We chase along the wheel!" Zhuoliktu got on the horse, pulled out his scimitar and pointed in the direction where the Ming army's baggage team went.

Nearly five hundred Mongolian cavalry screamed and chased after the traces on the ground. After chasing for half an hour, the Mongolians saw the Ming army's baggage team walking hard on the snow in front of them. They saw more than 500 Ming army's baggage team, and another 500 Ming army cavalry were escorting the baggage team.

"My sons! Kill! Kill Minggou and rob their food!" Zhuoliktu shouted with a scimitar.

Groups of Mongolian cavalry immediately accelerated and rushed towards the Ming army.

"The Tartars are here!" The Ming army's baggage team shouted, threw down their vehicles, and quickly fled to a small wood on the edge of the avenue.

The cavalry of the Five Hundred Ming Army did not dare to fight and all fled into the woods.

Zhuoliktu brought Mongolian soldiers to the baggage vehicles left behind by the Ming army. Several Mongolians turned over and dismounted, and stabbed the sacks loaded on the chariot with spears and scimitars.

"It's grain, a total of 100 vehicles, and all the car is loaded with grain!" After a moment, the Mongolian soldiers who were in charge of inspecting the carts came back to report.

"Let's drive the car back," Dorriktu ordered.
