Fan Yongdou said with a hint of helplessness: "If you want to stop Tiger Flag from continuing to build warehouses, they must cut off their trade routes. If Fan Ji's caravan can successfully come to the grassland, it will give the nobles a new choice. At that time, no one will support the Tiger Flag to build warehouses on the grassland."
"My Taiji has thought of what you said a long time ago, but you Fan Ji is too incompetent. In the past so long, you haven't even been able to deliver a truck of goods to Bansheng City. This is a huge disappointment to my Taiji." Wo Lunkuo said. sarcastically.
Fan Yongdou bowed and said: "The tiger-character flag has its own force, and I, Fan Ji, are just some ordinary guys. Unless there is a powerful armored cavalry to protect the caravan, Fan Ji's caravan can successfully reach Bansheng City." .”
"Aren't you Mingguo bodyguards? You, Fan Ji, are not short of money. You can hire more bodyguards to protect Fan Ji's caravan." Wo Lunkuo said.
Fan Yongdou said with a wry smile: "The general is joking. With the number of soldiers fighting the Tiger Flag on the grassland, which bodyguard would dare to take on such a business."
"That's right." Wo Lunkuo frowned.
Now there are more than a thousand soldiers of the Tiger Flag in Daheihe. Unless Fan Ji's caravan also invites more than a thousand bodyguards, if there are less, it will be useless.
Fan Yongdou said: "To protect Fan Ji's caravan on the grassland now, the only way is to let the armored cavalry around Taiji take action. No matter how brave the tiger character flag is, when facing the armored cavalry around the nobles, they still have to take action. , don’t dare to mess around.”
Wo Lunkuo looked hesitant.
Using armored cavalry was a big deal, and it was not something that he, a Mongolian general, could make the decision about.
However, due to the previous events of the Fan family, the caravan that had been promised to Bansheng City did not come, which made Su Nang Taiji very dissatisfied with Fan Ji. At this time, he brought Fan Yongdou there because he was worried about offending Su Nang Taiji. of anger.
Fan Yongdou intervened and said: "If you want to break the tiger-character flag and continue to build the warehouse, you can only let Fan Ji's caravan replace the tiger-character flag's caravan. But if Fan Ji's caravan wants to come to the grassland to do business, it needs noble people around it." Armored cavalry escorts, otherwise Tiger Flag will definitely take action to deal with other Ming caravans."
"You know, if you want to use armored cavalry, you must have the consent of my Taiji." Wo Lunkuo said to Fan Yongdou.
Fan Yongdou bowed and said: "General, please take me to see Su Nang Tai Ji. I will personally request Su Nang Tai Ji to send out armored cavalry."
Wo Lunkuo said nothing, and kept tapping his fingers on the table in front of him.
Seeing this, Fan Yongdou took a step forward, took out something from his sleeve, handed it forward, and said: "This is the gift I brought to the general when I came to the grassland this time. I hope the general will accept it."
As he spoke, he put the things in his hands on the low table in front of Wo Lunkuo.
Wo Lunkuo glanced down and opened the cloth bag wrapped outside.
After opening it, there was a gold headdress and a butterfly hairpin inside.
He casually put it into his arms and said, "Taiji is very dissatisfied with your Fan Ji. I will take you to see my Taiji at the risk of being scolded by my Taiji."
"Thank you, General." Fan Yongdou raised his hand to Wo Lunkuo.
Wo Lunkuo stood up and said, "I can only say that I will try my best to let Taiji see you, but I cannot guarantee that Taiji will definitely see you."
"Thank you, General." Fan Yongdou bowed and saluted.
"Let's go with me!"
After saying that, Wo Lunkuo stepped outside.
Fan Yongdou hurriedly followed.
When he arrived in the courtyard, Wo Lunkuo took his horse, turned over and rode on it, and walked out of the courtyard gate. At the same time, he said to Senaban who was guarding outside: "Senaban, you go with me to Taiji." .”
"Yes, general." Senaban saluted, turned around and ran back to the stable in the yard, brought a horse and walked out.
Wo Lunkuo turned to Fan Yongdou and said, "Follow me, drive!"
After saying this, he knocked the horse's belly with his heel, flicked the reins in his hand, and urged the horse forward.
Fan Yongdou greeted the people he brought with him, followed Wo Lunkuo's side, and walked all the way towards Su Nang's residence.
Su Nang's residence can be said to be the most magnificent place in Bansheng City. Even the sweat tent in Qingcheng cannot compare with his residence.
When he came outside the door, Wo Lunkuo said to Fan Yongdou: "You wait here, I will go in first. You can only go in if my Taiji agrees to see you."
"Thank you, General." Fan Yongdou bowed to Wo Lunkuo.
Wo Lunkuo then said to Senaban who followed him: "You stay here with Fan Dongzhu."
"Yes." Senaban agreed.
After arranging them, Wo Lunkuo turned and walked into the yard of Su Nang's residence.
There were armored soldiers guarding the courtyard gate, but Wo Lun Kuo was the armored cavalry general beside Su Nang. These people could be said to be Wo Lun Kuo's subordinates, so no one stopped him from entering the courtyard.
There are also soldiers patrolling the courtyard to protect the safety of Su Nang.
Su Nang's residence was not considered exquisite among the counties of the Ming Dynasty, but it was one of the largest houses on the grassland. It was also the place where Anda Khan and Sanniangzi once lived.
When he came outside the main house, Wo Lunkuo said to the soldier outside the door: "I want to see Taiji."
One of the soldiers guarding the door said: "General, wait a moment, my subordinates will go in and report."
Wo Lunkuo nodded.
After a short time, the soldier came out of the room and said, "General, please come in."
Wo Lunkuo stepped into the main room, opened a curtain, and came to the back room.
As soon as he came in, he saw his father sitting cross-legged behind a low table, and on the other side was Batutaiji of the Yongshebu tribe, who was also the supervisory minister of Tumut.
"My subordinates have seen Taiji and Batu Taiji."
They bowed to Su Nang and Batu respectively.
Su Nang said: "You are not at home at this time. Come to my place. What can I do?"
"There are indeed some things that need to be met with Taiji." Wo Lunkuo said, and then secretly glanced at Batu who was aside.
After Su Nang saw it, he said: "If you have anything to say, just say it. You should know the relationship between Batu and me. There is no need to avoid it."
Batu was the supervising minister installed by Lindan Khan of Chahar in Tumote. He was Taiji who came specifically to supervise Tumote. He was not of the same mind as Bushi Tu in Qingcheng and was guarded by Bushi Tu.
But because Su Nang has a good relationship with Chahar, he has always been close to Su Nang.
Wo Lunkuo cupped his fists and said, "Fan Yongdou arrived in our Bansheng City and found his subordinates. He said he wanted to see Taiji."
"Since he wants to see me, why doesn't he come to see me directly?" Su Nang frowned.
Batu on the side smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's because he failed to fulfill what he promised us before. He was worried that if he came directly to you, he would be kicked out, so he found Wo Lun Kuo and wanted to come through Wo Lun Kuo. meet you."
"The people of the Ming Dynasty are in trouble because of their twists and turns." Su Nang said with dissatisfaction.
Batu laughed heartily and said, "That's right. People from the Ming Dynasty are not as straightforward as us Mongolians."
"These people from the Ming Dynasty are not good at doing things. They always do one thing after another." Su Nang said sarcastically.
Batu turned to look at Wo Lunkuo and asked, "Is that Mr. Fan still there with you?"
"We have already brought him over. They are waiting outside right now." Wo Lunkuo said.
Batu said to Su Nang: "It's better to meet this Dongzhu Fan and see what useful news he brings this time."
"It's just that you want to cooperate with me, but if you want to meet, then meet him." Su Nang turned his head and said to Wo Lunkuo, "Bring Fan Yongdou in!"
"yes."
Wo Lunkuo agreed and retreated from the room.
