Chapter 203 The firm sells horses

When Huang Taiji sent troops to rescue the Korqin tribe, generals such as Tashihai, Huluk, and Badaxi of Chahar Mongol had already brought more than 10,000 vanguard troops of the Chahar cavalry to the Xilamulun River area. However, the Chahar people did not directly attack the Korqin tribe, which was the most powerful, but attacked the Selen Aba Hai tribe, killed the rebellious Mongols, and plundered a large number of cattle, sheep and population.

Besides, Li Guodong led two thousand cavalry to go straight to the Ming Dynasty from Xuanfu. When passing by the Zhangbei grassland, the Yebubang cavalry sent by Li Guodong discovered the gathering Lin Danhan army.

"Send the gift to Lin Danhan and let her reunite with her daughter Hai Lanzhu. Anyway, this woman has no use to stay with us. It would be better to give Lin Danhan the gift on the spot." Li Guodong asked someone to send the gift away.

Korqin Beilezaisang's wife, the mother-in-law of Huang Taiji of the Great Khan of the Jin Kingdom, was given a gift by Li Guodong on the spot and sent to Lin Danhan. However, Li Guodong did not go to find Lin Danhan himself this time because he knew that he led people to attack the Korqin tribe. This incident might cause Lin Danhan to be angry, so he didn't need to see Lin Danhan, but he just sent a few soldiers to send the gifts.

Li Guodong avoided Lin Danhan's army, led two thousand cavalry, drove nearly 50,000 horses into the pass from Datong, Xuanfu.

"The business is coming! Why haven't our boss from Dadewang come back yet?" Li Guodong came to Dadewang's business, but he didn't see Wang Quan again this time, but only saw a shopkeeper named Lin Zhi appointed by Wang Quan. Li Guodong was really unhappy about Wang Quan's failure to come back for almost a year.

Lin Zhi didn't know where Wang Quan had gone, but he didn't know that Zhao Feng had actually contacted Wang Quan. Zhao Feng left a batch of food for Wang Quan, and then he led the caravan back.

"I will leave 8,000 horses, of which 18,000 war horses, and I will leave all the rest to you for sale. The other 28,000 horses will be sold." Li Guodong told Lin Zhi.

All the horses stolen from the Korqin people were handed over to Dadewang Shop for sale. These horses could be sold for at least 400,000 taels of silver, which was another huge fortune. After handing over the horses to Dadewang Shop for sale, what Li Guodong had to do next was to wait for Lin Danhan to be defeated by Huang Taiji. After that, Huang Taiji would chase him to Guihua City and burn him with a torch. At that time, Li Hong, who was placed in the Tumotes, could do something and try his best to win over the Tumotes.

Several soldiers sent by Li Guodong to give gifts to Lin Danhan came back. Li Guodong asked about the situation and a soldier replied: "General, it was indeed as you expected. Lin Danhan was furious after learning that you had attacked the Korqin people, saying that we had ruined his major affairs and made the Korqin people ready. If he attacked the Korqin tribe, wouldn't he fall into the trap? Lin Danhan also accused General, saying that the Mongols' affairs were not our Han people."

Li Guodong laughed: "Lin Danhan really takes himself seriously! Even if we didn't attack the Korqin tribe, would he be able to destroy the Korqin tribe? I'm afraid he can't even catch Boli?"

The real history is indeed as Li Guodong said. Lin Danhan did not even attack the tribe where the Korqin people's golden tent was located. He only attacked a few small tribes, but was blocked by the Korqin people. Later, Huang Taiji led his army to fight, and Lin Danhan fled all the way. After this escape, he disappeared from the long river of history.

The soldier said, "General, Lin Danhan was quite happy to see Boli, and rewarded us brothers with a few little money. After all, Boli was the mother of Lin Danhan's concubine Hai Lanzhu, and now they are reunited."

Li Guodong said with a smile: "They Mongolians have the habit of liking other people's wives. Now, let Lin Danhan wear a green hat on Huang Taiji's father-in-law."

The vanguard troops led by Lin Dankhan's generals such as Tashhai, Huluk, and Badasi have been robbing the Korqin grassland for more than ten days.

Wherever the Chahar people passed, the Mongols' residences were burned and cattle and sheep were looted. On the frozen grassland, yurts burned to ashes were left, and damaged stables, cattle and sheep pens were everywhere. The horses and cattle and sheep that were originally locked in it were no longer visible. The bodies of the Korqin people were lying on the snow, and the blood from the shed dyed a large area of ​​snow red. These were all the Korqin people who were killed.

Huluke was taking his Chahar cavalry to drive away more than 10,000 Korqin people and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep that had been looted, and marched westward, preparing to retreat to the grassland outside Xuanfu and meet with Lin Danhan.

At this moment, a Mongolian whistle rode his horse and rushed over and dismounted in front of Huluke. The cavalry panted and said, "General, it's not good! The Korchin cavalry is here!"

"The Korchin Cavalry came very quickly! How many people did they come?" Hu Luke asked.

"More than 10,000 people came!"

"What's the fear of just ten thousand people! We're ready to fight!" Hu Luke drew out his scimitar and pointed to the east.

Tashhai and Badasi also came with cavalry. Tashhai arranged a combat plan: Huluk acted as bait and led two thousand Chahar cavalry to continue to drive away the plundered Korqin people and headed west; Tashhai and Badasi were ambushing on the hills on both sides. Waiting for the Korqin people to chase Huluk and enter the ambush circle, the 8,000 Chahar cavalry that were ambushing came out.

After formulating the combat plan, Tashhai and Badasi immediately rushed to the front to ambush.

Huluke led two thousand cavalry to drive more than 10,000 Korqin people, crossed the frozen Luan River, stepped on the soft mud, and hurried westward.

"Go quickly!" The Chahars waved their whips and beat the Korqin prisoners. In the war between the Mongols, the prisoners were slaves. After these Korqin people were driven back, they would all become slaves of the Chahars.

In winter, it was dark quickly. Before the Korqin cavalry arrived, it began to darken.

"Light the torch! Go on the road overnight!" Huluke gave the order.

The Chahar cavalry lit torches one by one and rushed west with the torches in hand.

"Little Prince! There are the Chahar people ahead! They drove our people away overnight." A Korqin whistle rode back to report to Manzhu Xili.

Man Zhu Xili raised her head and looked ahead: "We are chasing us all night long! We can't let them escape! Otherwise, when Lin Danhan's main force arrives, we will not be able to save Hui people!"

After all, the speed of the Korqin Mongolian cavalry was much faster than that of the Jurchen heavy cavalry. When Zaisang and Manzhu Xili led the Korqin cavalry back to the Korqin grassland, Dorgon's two white flags were left far behind and could not keep up for the time being.

Man Zhu Xili led more than 10,000 Korchin cavalry to chase after him overnight. After half an hour of chasing, he saw the light of torches appearing in front of him.
