Fan Yongdou, who was far away in Liaodong, did not know that his father had been killed, the caravan was robbed, and the Dashengkui businessmen suffered heavy losses. Zhangjiakou's eight merchants prospered and lost together. The caravans heading to Liaodong are now the most profitable business in Dongkou. The Fan family used their relationship with the Jurchens to firmly control the lifeline of the other seven merchants.

Now that Fan Ming, the shopkeeper of the Fan family, has been killed, all the caravans are lost, and the powerful guards and skilled men have suffered heavy casualties. The Fan family is already half-disabled, and the other seven major merchants are also disabled.

Although the pass north of the Yellow River is a little cold, it is not particularly cold yet. Liaodong outside the pass is already icy and snowy. The Korqin tribe's western Liaoning grasslands, today in Tongliao, there are countless tents scattered on the withered grasslands. At the gate of the camp, there are several tall and burly Jurchen soldiers with fleshy faces and heavy armor. However, these Jurchen soldiers standing outside the camp are still kind-hearted compared with the white-armored soldiers standing at the gate of the golden tent. Two white-armored Bayalas standing outside the golden tent are tall and strong, and they are bearded. They are obviously veterans who have experienced many battles, and their faces reveal the murderous aura that only warriors who have been through battles have.

Although one of these two white-armored Bayalas is still a Zhuangda, his name is Obai, and he is the most brave Batulu under Huang Taiji's command.

Fan Yongdou, who was guided by two white-armored soldiers, saw the two Batulus at the door of the golden tent, and was trembling. Such an elite army could only accumulate such momentum with continuous victory. Fan Yongdou felt that his father bet on such an army was the right bet. His father's keen sense of smell had created glory for himself and his descendants.

Walking into the golden tent, there was a big red carpet, and the brazier charcoal fire in the golden tent dispelled all the chills, making people feel that the golden tent was as warm as spring. In the middle of the golden tent, there was a tall, fat man with a long face. This man was wearing a bright yellow robe and did not look vicious, but he was not angry and mighty.

Fan Yongdou had seen this great man and knew that he was Huang Taiji, the great khan of the Later Jin Dynasty of the Jurchens.

There were three Han officials wearing red peacock feathered warm hats and blue-black official robes standing next to Huang Taiji. The three were Fan Wencheng, the strategist of the Later Jin Dynasty, Li Yongfang and Sun Degong, the Han generals of the Later Jin Dynasty. There were a group of Jurchen generals sitting on both sides, each of whom was tall and strong, with a fierce appearance. At first glance, they were brave generals who had experienced many battles.

Seeing Fan Yongdou walking into the golden tent, Huang Taiji immediately stood up enthusiastically, and all the Jurchen generals on both sides stood up.

Huang Taiji warmly greeted Fan Yongdou to him, pointed to the seat on the right and said, "Mr. Fan, please sit down quickly! Starting from your father, your Fan family is our good friend of Dajin! Mr. Fan came here this time, and I guess he brought the Ming army garrison information that I urgently needed."

Seeing that Fan Yongdou was still qualified to sit on Huang Taiji's side seat, several Han ministers such as Fan Wencheng, Li Yongfang and Sun Degong showed envious eyes in their eyes.

"The villain is fulfilling his mission!" Fan Yongdou bent down and took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, and presented it with respectful hands. "When the villain was passing through the Chahar grassland, he was intercepted by a horse thief and almost died. Fortunately, he was rescued by Yue Tobele, so he escaped by chance. Unfortunately, the goods he was preparing to take to Liaodong were completely lost."

Huang Taiji patted Fan Yongdou's shoulder and comforted him: "Mr. Fan, it's good that people are fine. If you lose that batch of goods, you Han people have a saying that you can keep the green mountains and there is no need to worry about burning firewood. Which horse thief who is not open to the eyes dares to attack our friends in the Great Jin Kingdom? But are the Mongolian horse bandits raised by Lin Danhan?"

Fan Yongdou shook his head and said, "Returning to the Great Khan is not Lin Danhan's horse thief, but a group of unknown Han horse thieves. This man is determined to be the life of a villain, but fortunately Mr. Beile brought someone to save him. It's a pity that he couldn't kill the dog thief. The villain saw the dog thief break into Lin Danhan's camp with his own eyes."

Huang Taiji was furious: "No matter whether it is the horse thief raised by Lin Danhan or the Han horse thief, as long as we do the right thing with our friends in Dajin, Ben Khan will never let him go! Don't worry, if Yue Tobele will do this, he will definitely find out the details of this person and give Mr. Fan an explanation!"

Fan Yongdou stood up, knelt at Huang Taiji's feet, and thanked repeatedly: "Thank you, Da Khan! The villain must be loyal to Da Jin to the end! He can do things for Da Khan, even if he is crushed to pieces!"

Huang Taiji patted Fan Yongdou on the shoulder: "Get up! How can those who do things for Ben Khan be crushed to pieces? They will only gain endless wealth and glory! Only those little people who try to stop Ben Khan will definitely let them die without a place to die! For example, Lin Danhan, and the horse thief who attacked Mr. Fan this time!"

Fan Yongdou stood up and asked with some concern: "The Khan wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty from Da'ankou this time, but Lin Danhan on the Chahar grassland was ultimately a major concern for the Khan. If Lin Danhan took advantage of the Khan's entry into the Ming Dynasty and attacked the Khan's follow-up troops from behind, the Jin army would probably be in danger."

Huang Taiji laughed: "Mr. Fan is too worried! I have long thought about the issues that Mr. Fan is worried about. The reason why you, the eight major merchants in Zhangjiakou, went to the west entrance to deliver goods to the Tumotes. Yue Tobele bought this batch of goods to the Tumotes was to let the Tumotes restrain Lin Dankhan! With the Tumotes and Yue Tobele restrain Lin Dankhan behind their backs, Lin Dankhan would not dare to attack our Great Jin army!"

As he said that, Huang Taiji turned to look at Fan Wencheng and said, "Fan Aiqing, you also explain the situation of the country and Lin Danhan."

Fan Wencheng said: "When I returned to the Khan, I realized that although Lin Dankhan formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen and Lin Dankhan were not the same, and there were many disagreements between the two countries. As long as the Khan put pressure on Lin Dankhan from the Tumot tribe, Lin Dankhan would not risk attacking our army for the Ming Dynasty."

Huang Taiji smiled and nodded: "Ben Khan understands Lin Dankhan. This man is cruel and violent. He is determined to learn from Genghis Khan and unify Mongolia with force. But the Mongolians do not buy his account. When our army entered the Ming Dynasty this time, with Lin Dankhan's personality, not only will he not send troops to help the Ming Dynasty, but will instead take advantage of our opportunity to kill the Tumotes!"

"I am worried that the Tumots can stop Lin Danhan." A young Eight Banners general wearing a white helmet and white armor led the way.

Huang Taiji was confident and said: "The 14th brother is worried too much. With Yue Tobele here, the Tumote people are like tigers. If Lin Danhan wants to attack Guihua City, Yue Tobe will make Lin Danhan lose his skin!"

This young general with white helmet and white armor was Dorgon, who was the fourteenth son of the old slave.

Huang Taiji opened the map sent by Fan Wencheng and showed a smile on his face: "Minggou's defense is so weak, our army will surely attack the hinterland of Ming from Xifengkou and Da'ankou!"

"I wish you success! Invade the Forbidden City in one fell swoop and sit on the dragon throne of the Forbidden City!" Fan Yongdou slapped the horse.
