Li Guodong sent a letter to Wei Yunzhong, which said that Xuan Da's troops were insufficient and there was no need to deal with Lin Danhan. He was negotiating with Lin Danhan, and Lin Danhan would soon withdraw his troops.

As Li Guodong expected, Lin Danhan, who was not rewarded by the Ming Dynasty, led the Mongolian soldiers to plunder in the Xuanda area, captured several small military household forts, killed thousands of people, plundered a batch of supplies, and then left the Ming Dynasty and returned to the depths of the grassland.

Lin Danhan prepared to conquer the Xilamulun River in the east to occupy the land of Arukorqin Dalai Chuhuer, which had descended from Jin. Later, Lin Danhan annihilated part of Selen Abahai.

Lin Danhan left the Ming Dynasty, and the Xuanda area returned to tranquility.

When Wei Yunzhong saw Lin Dankhan withdrawing his troops, he immediately submitted a memorial to the court and asked for his merits. Of course, there was no mention of Li Guodong's letter to him, but only said that he led Xuan Da's army and civilians to resist and drove Lin Dankhan away.

But Li Guodong had already sent a letter to Sun Chengzong, saying that he knew Lin Dankhan. Because Lin Dankhan could not get the market reward, he would withdraw his troops if he had to get some compensation, and Lin Dankhan would send troops to the Korqin tribe. It is expected that Huang Taiji would send troops to attack Lin Dankhan soon, and hoped that Sun Chengzong would take this good opportunity to build the Liaodong Castle.

Of course, Sun Chengzong didn't know that Li Guodong had cheated, because Li Guodong made many military achievements, so Sun Chengzong believed it. After receiving the letter, Sun Chengzong immediately arranged defense in Liaodong as Li Guodong told him.

On the second day of September of the third year of Chongzhen, Wang Quan said goodbye to Li Guodong and took the twelve clerks from the Dadewang Shop to the south.

A convoy of Dadewang merchants set out from Zhangjiakou and was about to go to the south. The Ming soldiers guarding the gate recognized this merchants. After all, they were old acquaintances. This was a merchant that traded tea and horses with the Mongolians.

As usual, Wang Quan stuffed broken silver on the soldiers guarding the gate, and the soldiers let go with a smile on their faces.

"Boss Wang, you have a safe journey. Congratulations on getting rich!" Several soldiers bowed to the caravan that was leaving behind.

The road intent has been settled, and Datong General Hu Dawei and Wang Quan are also familiar with each other. There is also a relationship between Sun Chengzong, and the caravans from Zhangjiakou to Jingji can be unobstructed.

According to the agreed location given by Li Guodong, Wang Quan led the caravan to the Shifo Temple located on the Yongding River in Gu'an.

"It's almost half a year since it has passed, why hasn't General Li sent anyone here yet?" Wu Biao and others, who had been waiting in the area of ​​Shifo Temple for more than five months, were anxious.

More than 300 Min Zhuang selected by Li Guodong, they returned to their hometown in Gu'an since the Later Jin retreated. On weekdays, they farmed at home and sent people to Shifo Temple to wait for Li Guodong's caravan to arrive. In a blink of an eye, more than five months have passed, and the caravan has not yet arrived. These Min Zhuang people have been impatient to wait.

"Cargoyle! A caravan is here!" On that day, Zhao Feng and Liu Zhu, who were sent to Shifo Temple to wait for the caravan, saw a caravan with a small number of people driving a caravan and heading towards Shifo Temple, were delighted.

When the caravan approached, Zhao Feng and Liu Zhu found that the caravan that was coming was Dadewang caravan that had been waiting for almost half a year. So the two hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Is it the shopkeeper Wang Quanwang?" Zhao Feng walked up to ask.

In the caravan, a tall young man wearing a white silk robe walked out with a fan, walked to Zhao Feng and Liu Zhu, and bowed, "The two Wang Quan are looking for, they are the ones. You and the other men quickly report to the Wu Zhuangshi, and ask all the heroes to come and register. The caravan needs to go south to Jiangnan, and you need to serve as caravan guards."

Zhao Feng and Liu Zhu were overjoyed, so they left Liu Zhu here, and Zhao Feng rushed back to report to Wu Biao.

"The caravan is here! It's great! Let's gather all the brothers immediately and join the caravan together." Wu Biao said happily.

The villages where the three hundred people lived were not far apart, and Wu Biao asked several people to inform him separately. In less than an hour, the three hundred heroes gathered together. Not only did three hundred people come, but more than one hundred people were more than the original number.

"Why are so many people coming?" Wu Biao frowned.

Zhao Feng replied: "Brother, some brothers have many brothers in their families, and they can't support the family's size by farming, so there are more people."

"So many people have come, can Manager Wang be happy?" Wu Biao asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Brother, all the people who came here are strong men. It is not peaceful along the way to Jiangnan. There are many horse thieves and bandits on the way, so it is safer to have more staff."

"Then let's go to Shifo Temple first. If Manager Wang doesn't agree, I, the eldest brother, can't do anything."

Four hundred and fifty-two strong men went to Shifo Temple. When they saw Wang Quan, Wu Biao bowed to Wang Quan: "Shopkeeper Wang, the villain is Wu Biao, who brought 452 brothers to see the shopkeeper. It was just the shopkeeper. Originally, General Li said that he would ask Caomin to prepare three hundred men, but some of the brothers' families were too poor to lose their money. He also hoped to come to the caravan to make a living. I hope that the shopkeeper Wang would agree to give them a way out for their family."

Wang Quan received Li Guodong's explanation long before he set out, saying that recruiting people would be better. In addition, he saw that Wu Biao brought all the strong men, and he knew that none of them were waste at first glance, so he nodded and agreed: "All good men, and it is safe to go to Jiangnan if there are too many people."

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Wu Biao bowed deeply.

Wang Quan looked around and opened his voice, "Brothers, as long as you enter my Dadewang Store, you will be my brother of Wang! I, Wang, will definitely not treat you badly! As long as you work hard and don't be lazy, everyone can get a reward of two taels of silver every month. If you do well, you can also get a reward of five taels of silver to twenty taels of silver! If you meet a horse bandit on the road, the head of the winning goes to the court to receive the reward, and the reward belongs to your personal income! If there are brothers who are killed, the caravan will give each brother's family a pension of twenty taels of silver."

The remuneration of two taels of silver per month is quite good. One tael of silver could provide a farmer's family with a year's life. The reward for the first-level merit was personal income, and there was also a pension for the death. Such conditions were more generous than being an officer and soldier in the Ming Dynasty. So all the powerful people knelt down: "Thank you, Manager Wang!"

"Get up quickly!" Wang Quan walked forward and helped Wu Biao, Zhao Feng and others up. "This condition was not offered by me, but was given by my elder brother. If you want to thank him, please thank him."

Wu Biao and others knelt down one after another and bowed to the north, saying, "Thank you General Li! We will definitely not disappoint the general!"

The Dadewang caravan recruited enough staff and guards to go to Jiangnan. The journey was not peaceful. Originally, the way for Shanxi merchants to purchase goods from Jiangnan was to Henan, but in recent years, Henan was not peaceful. Horse thieves and small bandits appeared. The Shanxi merchant caravan, which was seriously injured outside the west entrance, was robbed by horse thieves in Henan some time ago. Because of the lack of guards, the Shanxi merchant caravan suffered heavy losses. Fan Yongdou lost so much that he almost even his pants were about to be blown off.

After suffering a great loss, Fan Yongdou no longer dared to go to Henan again. He did not dare to blatantly hire Jurchen warriors to escort his caravans in the Ming Dynasty. By water, Fan Yongdou lost even the money to hire a fleet.
