Wo Lunkuo saw that many of the Mongolian armored cavalry he brought were drunk. Although some people were not drunk, their faces were all red from drinking and they were not suitable to continue on their way.
It was just after noon, the sun was shining brightly above our heads, it was the warmest time of the day, but Wo Lunkuo ordered Fan Ji's caravan to camp on the spot.
To set up camp, you must first set up a tent.
The Mongolian cavalry brought by Wo Lunkuo drank a lot of wine, and many of them fell to the ground drunk. Even some of the Mongolian cavalry who were not drunk were too drunk to set up their own tents.
Wo Lunkuo directly ordered the guys from Fan Ji's caravan to build tents for the Mongols.
Facing these ferocious Mongolian cavalry, Fan Ji did not dare to resist. He went to work for the Mongols honestly and carried some drunk Mongolians into the tents they had set up.
Looking at the drunken Mongolians, Fan Hong was so angry.
These Mongols were hired to protect Fan Ji's caravan, but when they met, they forcibly took away the wine brought by Fan Ji's caravan. After drinking too much, they started to set up camp again, which wasted most of the day. .
Fan Hong was too lazy to look at these drunken Mongolians anymore, so he asked the guys around him to set up his tent first and got in, so he could be out of sight and out of mind.
The bottom layer of the tent was covered with straw mats, and the upper layer was a fur blanket. He was wrapped in a thick quilt. The tent was airtight, so he immediately warmed up and fell asleep quickly.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but in his daze, he seemed to hear someone calling him.
After a while, he was sure that he was being called, so he lifted up the quilt on his body and sat up. He opened the side of the tent with his hand, exposed half of his face and looked outside. Seeing that the sky was still bright, he knew that he had not slept for long.
"Mr. Fan, you are finally awake." A man from Fan Ji's caravan said eagerly.
Fan Hong yawned and said, "You are so anxious to find me. What's wrong?"
"Something big has happened," the guy said. "The Mongols have robbed a lot of goods from our caravan. They are now confronting Qin escort and his men, and a fight is about to begin."
"What?" Fan Hong was startled, and the sleepiness on his face disappeared completely, and he asked hurriedly, "What is going on? Aren't the Mongolians drunk?"
The guy said: "All the drunk Mongolians were carried into the tent to rest. Some Mongolians who were too drunk did not go to the tent to rest. Instead, they sang and danced. After they were tired of singing and dancing, they came to On the convoy side, they started grabbing things from the cargo on the car.”
"Why didn't you stop me?" Fan Hong looked anxious and got out of the tent.
"Stopped." The guy said, "Several guys who went to stop them were beaten, and one of them had his arm broken. Fortunately, escort Qin led people to stop the Mongolians, otherwise the injured guys would have been more injured. many."
"These northern captives have never been peaceful since they arrived. They are not here to escort the caravan to Bansheng City. They are simply harming the caravan." Fan Hong said bitterly.
The guy next to him stepped back, leaving room for Fan Hong to come out.
Standing in front of his tent, Fan Hong heard the quarrel in the distance. He looked over and saw escort Qin and others riding in front of a large car, surrounded by people. .
The waiter on the side said: "Mr. Fan, let's hurry over and persuade people to leave. If we delay further, we might actually take action."
Fan Hong had a gloomy face and walked towards Escort Qin.
When I was almost there, I heard someone shouting: "Master Fan is here."
As the voice fell, many people turned to look at Fan Hong, who was walking over. The waiters gathered outside even gave way to an aisle, waiting for Fan Hong to walk in.
"What are you doing! What are you doing here? Please disperse." Fan Hong scolded the Fan Ji guys around him.
He didn't dare to offend the Mongols, so he could only scold Fan Ji's guys.
Many Fan Ji clerks stepped aside, but did not go too far.
Fan Hong came to Qin's escort and asked: "Qin's escort, what's going on? Why are you confronting the Mongols?"
Even though the previous guy told him the reason for the incident, he still asked Escort Qin again to make sure.
Qin's bodyguard looked at the Mongolians in front of him and said coldly: "These northern captives robbed the goods on the car and beat you, Fan Ji, but I led my men to stop them."
"Beilu" is a scornful term for the Mongols. The Mongolians opposite could not understand Chinese and had no idea what Qin's bodyguard said, otherwise they would have taken action directly at this moment. .
Fan Hong turned around and looked at the Mongolian in front of him.
He remembered that this person's name was Senaban, and he was an armored knight beside Wo Lunkuo.
When he was young, he came to the grasslands with Fan Ji's caravan to do business. He knew a little Mongolian, so he asked in Mongolian: "Master Mongolian, I wonder what you are doing around the bodyguards invited by Fan Ji?"
Senaban glanced at Fan Hong and knew that this man was the person in charge of Fan Ji's caravan, so he said: "These southern barbarians invited by Fan Ji have beaten us Mongolians. You must give me an explanation."
Nanmanzi is the scornful name the Mongols used for the Han people of the Ming Dynasty, which made Fan Hong frown.
The Mongolian in front of me seemed to be talking about the Qin escorts and the others, but with one sentence, he cursed all the Ming people present.
However, at this time, he knew that what he had to do was to find a way to separate the Mongols and the Qin escorts. He could not let the situation worsen, otherwise his own people would start fighting before the caravan set off.
Thinking of this, he said directly: "My man said that you Mongolians robbed the goods in the car and injured my man. Qin Escort and the others just came out to stop you."
As he spoke, he looked at the hands of a Mongolian next to Senaban.
The opponent is holding an iron pot in his hand.
Senaban said disapprovingly: "We just took some Ming Dynasty goods from the car. You brought so much this time, and we only took a small part."
"These goods are going to Bansheng City!" Fan Hong's face sank.
He didn't expect these Mongolians to be so confident after robbing their Fan Ji's goods.
Sai Naban said: "We escorted your Fanji caravan to Bansheng City, what happened to taking some of your things? This is what we deserve, and your people injured us Mongolians, you must give me an explanation." "
Fan Hong's face darkened.
The Mongolians in front of me were so shameless. They robbed them openly and even beat them up.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said: "These goods were sent to Bansheng City and sold to herders. Now they have been taken away by you. How will we sell them in Bansheng City?"
"This is your Fan Ji's business, what does it have to do with us." Senaban curled his lips.
Seeing that he couldn't make sense with the Mongolian in front of him, Fan Hong said, "Where is General Wo Lun Kuo? I want to see General Wo Lun Kuo."
"The general is resting and has no time to pay attention to you southern barbarians." Senaban said, "Your people beat us Mongols. As Fan Ji's steward, if you can't give me an explanation, then get out of here. We The Mongols will solve it themselves, and they don’t even think they have a chance to get out of the grassland..."
As he spoke, he pointed at Escort Qin and others.
