"Khan, the Ming army did not appear. In addition, the whistle cavalry discovered that Zhu Youxiao and his army were still heading towards Xuanfu."

Here, Jinong's brain-large hair reports to Lin Danhan.

After hearing this, Lin Danhan clenched his fists and said without saying a word. After a long time, he said, "Ben Khan still underestimated him, Zhu Youxiao, or the people around him."

"The opportunity to defeat him, Zhu Youxiao's army is gone. Khan, we will either retreat outside the border or go south to continue to attack cities and plunder land. However, the Ming court will have heavy troops to guard the cities along the capital. Continuing to attack cities and plunder land will only damage the troops and make the army exhausted, and then be defeated by the Ming army. Or we should retreat and wait for the opportunity."

Taijinatuo couldn't help but make suggestions at this time.

Lin Danhan still looked at the south. He was extremely reluctant to withdraw because he wanted to recreate the glory of his golden family back then and take it to himself based on the Central Plains.

He was very upset when he thought that he had to retreat to the outside world again because he was afraid of the offspring of a cowherd child.

But Lin Danhan had to make the choice to withdraw and looked at the big hair and the drag.

Several failures made him have to doubt that the Ming court might have put in a detailed work in the person he trusted the most.

However, Lin Danhan could not produce any evidence for the time being, so he could only hide this suspicion in his heart.

"Retract Zhangjiakou Fort immediately, but in order to prevent the Ming army from sending cavalry to Zhangjiakou Fort in advance, more sentry cavalry must be sent to inquire first and find other exits."

Lin Danhan said this.

...

"Report to Your Majesty, Ma Shilong, Zhao Shujiao, and the three cavalrymen of Mangui have rushed to Zhangjiakou Fort. It is no problem to arrive at Zhangjiakou Fort before Lin Danhan retreats."

Here at Zhu Youxiao, Xiong Tingbi had already suggested to transfer cavalry to Zhangjiakou Fort to intercept Lin Danhan's soldiers.

Zhu Youxiao naturally approved Xiong Tingbi's advice.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also added that after recapturing Zhangjiakou Fort, Ma Shilong and others would directly hang the head of Zhang Yongfa who was executed by Lingchi on the city wall and paste it on the wall to shock the pessimists.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao asked Ma Shilong and others to kill all the Tatars who committed blood debts in Zhangjiakou Fort with the death penalty and the enemy spies, and to form Jingguan to anger Lin Danhan and force him to fight the Ming Dynasty.

Because the current Ming Empire was not afraid of a decisive battle with the Tartars, but was only suffering from the Tartars' unwilling to fight, and just wanted to take advantage of the cavalry's maneuverability to engage in guerrilla warfare.

The Tatars stationed in Zhangjiakou Fort did not know about the large-scale attack of the Ming army. They are still sweeping around the surrounding villages and doing murder and setting fires.

Therefore, when large-scale Ming cavalry such as Ma Shilong appeared, the Tatar defenders in Zhangjiakou Fort were unprepared and were quickly captured.

The rebel general Xu Dingguo was shocked.

Although he had been ready to escape with the Tatars in the future, he did not expect the Ming army to come so quickly that he did not have time to escape, so he had to pay for the sins he had committed for a while.

"How could this be like this!"

Xu Dingguo looked at the Ming cavalry rushing into Zhangjiakou Fort and fell to the ground.

Not long after, Ma Shilong's servant Jingqi captured Xu Dingguo and other rebel generals and wealthy merchants, and took them to Ma Shilong.

Ma Shilong immediately read out the emperor's decree to Xu Dingguo and others, and said: "It is understandable that you are afraid of death, but you should not surrender voluntarily and betray the court. Do you think the court's law to deal with the betrayer is not strict enough?"

Xu Dingguo was already trembling and said, "Master-in-law, we have to do this to prevent the people in the city from being slaughtered!"

Ma Shilong sneered and continued to ask, "For the sake of the people, the people of Zhangjiakou Fort, except for your own tribe slaves, why didn't I see a Han citizen, and then they were all Tatars?"

"The Tatars were betrayal and did not fulfill our promises. After entering the city, they still blatantly ordered all the people to be slaughtered, and only let the criminals survive. Although the criminals were dissuaded, it was useless. Please give the general a clear guide!"

Xu Dingguo said.

Other wealthy businessmen also agreed: "Yes, please tell me the truth!"

As a military minister, Ma Shilong was clumsy in his arguments and did not know how to refute it for a while. He was so angry that he cursed: "You are so shameless! The Tartars are indeed hateful, but do you really think that speaking against your conscience is nothing?"

"I dare not lie. I did this for the people of the whole city! Woo woo!"

Xu Dingguo kowtowed and said.

At this time, a garrison under Ma Shilong's command, Tang Tong stood up and advised: "Master! It's useless to ask now. Why not imprison them first and deal with them according to His Majesty's will."

Ma Shilong nodded his head and asked someone to ban Xu Dingguo and others.

But at this time, Tang Tong suddenly looked around, then walked to Ma Shilong and whispered: "Master, you still have one important matter to report to you separately."

After hearing this, Ma Shilong looked at Tang Tong in surprise.

However, after thinking about it, Ma Shilong still sent Zhao Lujiao, Man Gui and others away, and then asked: "What's the matter? You still need to report it separately?"

"When the generals brought people to arrest Xu Dingguo and others, they asked the generals to bring a letter to the generals. As long as the generals were willing to report their difficulties, if they survived, they would have to give them 50,000 taels of gold."

As he said that, Tang Tong smiled again: "They are all businessmen. Even though Xu Dingguo is a rebel general of the court, his family is also a businessman. Now he commits such a crime just for his own family's profit. Why don't the general make a fuss? Taking advantage of this, he can rely on this money and be promoted to another official position in the future?"

Ma Shilong slapped the table directly and scolded Tang Tong angrily: "Bastards! They are businessmen, they only know how to value profit and have no idea of ​​a country, family and country, but I am not a businessman!"

Ma Shilong shouted, "Come on, drag Tang Tong down!"

As he said that, Ma Shilong returned to the case and began to write a memorial, impeaching Tang Tong.

Tang Tong was shocked when he saw this and hurriedly knelt down: "Master, please calm down, please calm down, just pretend that Mo Zheng didn't say anything just now! Please, for the sake of my life and death with you for so many years, please spare Mo Zheng's life."

Ma Shilong snorted and asked, "Give up you?"

Then, Ma Shilong shouted loudly: "If this is the case, Your Majesty will not spare me!

Then, Ma Shilong said again: "Do not matter if they are for the sake of the people, I only know how to take them to the city according to His Majesty's will, prepare cement and build Jingguan!"

Ma Shilong and other Ming cavalry then directly escorted the Tatars and spies Xu Dingguo who were left behind in Zhangjiakou Fort to the walls of Zhangjiakou Fort.

Some of the Ming cavalry acted as temporary executioners, holding daggers, standing next to every Tatar and Han spy tied to the city wall. After Ma Shilong's order, they began to cut these people into pieces.

Xu Dingguo and other spies shouted in pain: "We are really wronged for the sake of the people of the whole city!"

The Tartars just screamed and shouted at their parents, just like the border people they slaughtered before, helpless and desperate.

For a moment, under the city wall, flesh fell like rain, blood directly dyed the city wall red, and the miserable sound continued.
