Tashhai brought the Mongols up, and Li Laoer asked someone to give the food to the Mongols. Even the captured Wu Keshan was taken away by the Mongols of Chahar.

"With Wu Keshan as a hostage, if the Korqin tribe wants to join forces with the Jurchens to deal with you, they have to think twice." Li Laoer pointed to Wu Keshan, who was tied up in many ways, and said to Tashhai.

"Thank you for your reminder!" Tashhai clasped his fists and arched his hands to thank him, but said proudly, "But our Chahar tribe is the descendant of the Golden Family, what is Korqin? Don't think that if they surrender to the Jurchens, we will be afraid of them! As long as the Jurchens come, they will be allowed to go without returning!"

The Mongols rode their horses away, and took most of the goods and captured Wu Keshan with Li Lao Er and others, leaving only fifty stones of grain and hundreds of kilograms of tea for Li Lao Er and all the others were taken away by the Chahar Mongols. However, the Mongols were still somewhat conscientious and left 100 war horses for Li Lao Er and others.

Of course, those horses were not Tashhai's war horses, but were left by the Korqin Mongols. After Tashhai killed the Korqin Mongols, he gave some of the seized war horses to Li Laoer as a favor.

"Brother, we had this grain, so we could recruit soldiers and horses. Now that we are ready, the grain is sent in, and there is only so much food left. How should we recruit soldiers and horses?" Li Hong walked up and said blamingly.

Li Laoer looked at the back of the Chahar people leaving in a daze: Why is my time travel so unlucky? He just traveled to a horse thief outside the frontier. When traveling to the late Ming Dynasty, as long as he was a real Han man, he would think about stopping China from sinking and changing this darkest history.

However, Li Laoer traveled to a horse thief outside the border who could not return to the Ming Dynasty. Most of these horse thief outside the border were descendants of the White Lotus Sect who fled to Tumot Mongolia during the incident of the White Lotus Sect of Zhao Quan. Although Li Laoer's generation was no longer a child of the White Lotus Sect, these Han people who defected to the Frontier were regarded as Hu Hua by the court and could not accept them back, let alone joining the army. Li Laoer was determined to serve the country, but had no way to serve the country.

Even if you become a military householder or even a thief, you are much better than this identity! It's so eyeless! Li Laoer thought to himself hatefully.

There is no way to serve the country, so Li Laoer can only change this history with his own strength as much as possible. He hopes to eliminate this great harm, so that the rise of the Jurchens may be a little setback. Killing Fan Yongdou not only cut off this business path, but also cut off a source of intelligence from the Jurchens and Later Jin. In addition, Li Laoer also tried his best to establish a good relationship with Lin Dankhan, and also hoped to curb the development of the Jurchens and Later Jin.

Unfortunately, Fan Yongdou ran away. Li Laoer felt depressed when he thought about not being able to successfully kill Fan Yongdou. This time, Fan Yongdou personally took the caravan to Liaodong, and must have brought important information, such as the Ming army stationed in Da'ankou and other places.

It is September of the second year of Chongzhen. In October, Huang Taiji led his troops to invade from Da'ankou and plundered the northern Zhili area. There must be important information provided by Fan Yongdou.

"I just regret not being able to catch up with that dog thief! If he could kill him, the Chief of Jiannu Huang Taiji would not be able to invade from Da'an again. It was really a waste of effort!" Li Laoer said to himself in great depression.

"Brother, what did you say? Jiannu will invade from Da'ankou and rob the capital?" Li Hong asked in surprise after hearing Li Laoer's words.

"Yes! Fan Yongdou went to Liaodong this time, not only to send food and iron tools to Jiannu, but also to intelligence. It's a pity that we failed to kill this old dog this time!" Li Laoer said, clenched his fists, and the bone joints made a "rattle".

"The Jurchen Tartars and Mongolian Tartars are all Tartars, but I don't understand one thing, brothers, why do my elder brother hate the Jurchen Tartars more than the Mongolian Tartars?"

Li Laoer replied without thinking: "Because the Jurchens not only wanted to kill me Han people, but also to destroy my clothes! The Han people in Liaodong were forced to shave their hair and change their clothes, shaved them into their money, and put on their clothes. If they were to pass the pass one day, the Han people would be forced to shave their heads!"

"Is this kind of thing?" Li Hong was also angry, "The body, hair and skin are taken by his parents and dare not hurt them. At the beginning of filial piety, the Jurchen Tartars actually forced the Han people to shave their hair! This is indeed more hateful than the Mongolian Tartars! Just for this, I have to fight them to the end! It's a pity that our strength is too weak, and the court refuses to accept us, and I don't know how to deal with the hateful Jiannu Wild Dog!"

"We will go back to the mountain village first, and then go to Da'ankou to report a letter to the officers and soldiers, reminding them to be careful of Jiannu."

"But will they believe us?"

"It's their business whether they believe it or not. Just bring the words to us. How many people can be saved?"

This small team was walking on the mountain road. Before I knew it, Li Laoer and his party returned to their own village.

This mountain village is located in Beiling Mountain in the northwest of Da'ankou, Zunhua. It belongs to the Yinshan Mountains. To the north is the vast Mongolian grassland and to the south is the longest Great Wall. This mountain village is only more than 30 miles away from Da'ankou, and is left by Li Laoer's father. After his father passed away, Li Laoer became the leader of the mountain village and he renovated the mountain village.

Walking along the mountain road, what catches your eye is a peculiar cottage. To be precise, it is a brick-and-wood mountain castle. This kind of castle is almost impossible to see in the east of that time.

The castle has a very unique appearance. A three-meter-wide and one-meter-deep trench outside the city was dug out with bricks and wood and soil. The city wall was two meters high. There were four hollow bastions bulging outside on the outside of the city wall. Although the bastion was made of brick and wood, for the Mongols and Jurchens who did not have any siege weapons, the number of lives this castle could fill them is in vain and could not be conquered at all.

There are dense shooting holes on the hollow ridges. The soldiers guarding the city can hide inside the castle and shoot outside. The two ridges form cross fire, causing the enemy to attack the city to be attacked by three firepower.

This round castle is decorated with hollow ridges, solid triangular forts, concave forts and garrisons. The trenches below are also slanted embankments and platforms, which allow siege troops to be hit by fierce fire when climbing the trenches.

Humph! What did I do before I traveled through time? I was an engineer! I don’t know much about other tactics, but digging the ground and building a fortress are my strengths. Li Laoer looked at his proud work with satisfaction. Since Li Laoer came to this era, he began to build a castle. After six years of hard work, he finally built such an indestructible castle in the mountains of Saibei.
