There are about 3,000 Mongolians and about 1,600 Ming troops, but Sun Chuanting's 1,000 men are defending the fort.
The Mongols are not good at attacking cities, and Cao Wenzhao is out, and the Mongolian cavalry is even less likely to be calm.
Breaking the barrier, the Mongols wanted to eliminate Cao Wenzhao first, but unexpectedly, Cao Wenzhao did not confront the Mongols at all, but kept a close distance from them, preventing them from attacking Yongxing Fort.
After the two sides were in a stalemate for a day, the follow-up Ming army arrived, and the security guards led by Yang Lian had also arrived.
At this time, the Ming army had more than 7,000 people.
The Mongols had strong forts in front and strong soldiers behind them.
The leader He was dead, so the current leader, Subuta, another younger brother of Yechi, sent people to ask the Ming army to let them out of the customs, and expressed his willingness to donate a large number of cattle and sheep to thank the Ming army.
Anyway, they were all empty talk.
Could it be that the Ming army Does Jun really dare to go to the tribe to fetch cattle and sheep?
Sun Chuanting conveyed the Mongols' wishes to Yang Lian and others.
Yang Lian just wanted to settle down as soon as possible, so he suggested letting the northern captives out.
Lu Xuan thought that the northern captives were cunning and should hand over their cattle and sheep before letting them go.
Cao Wen The imperial edict said: "Let the Northerners hand over their cattle and sheep first.
As long as we hand over their weapons, they are not at our mercy."
Yang Liandao: "We should also be loyal to the northern captives.
If they hand over cattle and sheep, we should fulfill the contract and let them leave the customs."
Cao Wenzhao replied: "The barbarians don't understand what faith is, so why bother talking to them about faith."
Although Yang Lian disagreed, he did not continue to object.
After receiving the reward, Sun Chuanting laughed: "General Cao's words are exactly what I want.
Let's disarm first and then talk about it."
So he told the Mongols that if they want to leave the customs, they can first disarm and then station outside the fort, waiting for the cattle and sheep to be handed over.
Exit.
Subuda didn't expect that the Ming army would not follow the routine this time.
In desperation, he negotiated with Sun Chuanting again, saying that he did not have enough prestige now and was afraid that he would not be able to order the tribe to send cattle and sheep.
He had to let himself go first before he could send them.
Cattle and sheep, please let Sun Chuanting first let him take half of the people to get the cattle and sheep, and leave the other half here as collateral.
The two sides bargained for a long time, and finally decided that Subuda would take 400 people back to get the cattle and sheep.
However, Sun Chuanting required that all the Mongolians must dismount and surrender their weapons first, and then let Subuda go back to get the cattle and sheep.
So the Ming army began to collect the Mongolian weapons and horses from both sides, and then asked Subuda to choose four hundred men.
After Su Budu finished selecting, they were allowed to enter Yongxing Fort with their horses.
As soon as Su Budu entered the fort, a group of Ming troops with shining swords and guns poured out from the opposite side.
Sun Chuanting smiled and said: "After careful consideration, I feel that there is no need for so many people to get cattle and sheep.
With so many people staying here, your tribe will send cattle and sheep anyway.
Just send a cavalry back to deliver the message.
Chief What do you think?"
The situation was stronger than the people.
Subuda did not expect that the Ming army would now become as dishonest as the Mongols.
His plan was completely in vain, so he had to hand over the horses obediently and sent only one person to deliver a message asking the tribe to send cattle and sheep.
Come and replace.
Sun Chuanting asked Cao Wenzhao and Lu Xuan to guard Yongxing Fort with two thousand people, and then took a large number of captured horses, lined up the Mongols with their hands tied with ropes, and escorted them back to Shenmu City.
Sun Chuanting and Yang Lian had a disagreement about how to deal with this group of Mongols.
Yang Lian believed that the Mongols should be allowed to stay in the sacred tree first, and then send them back after the Mongols delivered cattle and sheep as agreed.
Sun Chuanting believed that these Mongols invaded the border towns, burned, killed and looted.
If they did not kill them, it would be an extra mercy of the Ming Dynasty, but it was impossible for Shenmu to use the Ming Dynasty's rice to supply the Mongols.
Yang Lian said anxiously: "Then let the Mongolians starve to death in the sacred tree?

God has the virtue of good life, Boya must not do this."
Sun Chuanting smiled and said: "Wen Ru, don't worry, Chuanting has also read the books of sages, how can we let them starve to death?"
The two came to the place where the Mongolians were imprisoned.
Sun Chuanting said: "You don't know the power of the heavenly soldiers.
You invaded our border and killed our soldiers and civilians.
The people all want to kill you.
Today, I am merciful and will send you the ransom."
Before you come, I ask you to go to the Shenmu Coal Mine to help and earn daily necessities.
Are you willing?"
The Mongolians clamored loudly, asking Sun Chuanting to get something to eat quickly.
They were about to starve to death.
As for going to the coal mine to help, no one paid any attention to him.
Sun Chuanting said: "Since you don't want to, just wait here until the ransom is delivered.
I believe that being hungry for more than ten days is not a big deal for the Mongolian warriors."
After that, he turned and left.
Seeing that he was so tough, the Mongolians panicked.
Subuda hurriedly came out and shouted: "Master Magistrate, I am willing to go to the coal mine to help.
Can you give me some food first before going?"
Sun Chuanting turned around and said, "If you want to eat, go to the coal mine first, and don't talk about anything else."
The Mongols had no choice but to go to the coal mines to help.
The coal mine is nearby.
After entering the coal mine, the foreman said: "If you drag a basket of coal from inside, you will have a steamed bun to eat.
If you want to eat, go and drag the coal."
The Mongolians began the happy days of hauling coal in exchange for steamed buns, and Subudu was no exception.
One person could generally haul seven to eight baskets of coal every day, and the steamed buns they exchanged would be enough to support their physical strength.
After twelve days of this, the Mongols finally arrived with cattle and sheep.
According to the situation agreed in advance, one cow was exchanged for one person, and ten sheep were exchanged for one person.
Yan'an Prefecture exchanged a total of more than 2,000 cattle and more than 10,000 cattle.
Sheep.
After the exchange, Subuda said to Sun Chuanting: "Prefect Sun, our tribe has lost so many cattle and sheep this time.
We will not have enough food in the near future.
Can you please lend us some grain, will we definitely use cattle next year?"
The sheep will be returned to you.”
Sun Chuanting smiled and took out a baked potato and let Subu Da taste it.
After he finished eating, he asked: "What do you think, leader?"
Subota asked: "What is this?
It tastes so good."
Sun Chuanting said: "This is a very good food.
We call it potato.
It is very good for hunger.
If you are willing to provide us with labor, I can give them food, and I can also provide your tribe with potatoes based on their labor. how" Not only did Subudu's tribe not grab anything this time, but they also lost a lot of horses, cattle and sheep.
If they didn't rob others, there would be no way to get through this spring.
And the Ming army was so difficult to rob now, so of course he wanted to find one. way out.
Sun Chuanting was also very anxious when he saw that there was not enough labor to cultivate the large amount of open land, so the two sides hit it off.
Although the Mongolians did not know how to do farm work, all they needed to reclaim wasteland was strength.

Sun Chuanting and Subuda reached an agreement, and Subuda provided 3,000 Mongolians to come to Yan'an Prefecture to reclaim wasteland for three months.
Sun Chuanting provided him with an additional 3,000 Mongolians.
Potatoes boiled on stone, this way, three thousand people will have to eat less quickly, and with this food, they should be able to survive this spring.
Sun Chuanting reported the situation to the emperor, and Zhu Youxiao was very happy, thinking that Sun Chuanting had found a new way to live in peace with the Mongols.
So Yang Lian and Cao Wenzhao were ordered to return to Beijing, and the Yan'an Prefecture Army was officially renamed the Qin Army.
More than 200 grassroots officers of the Guards were transferred from the Guards to join the Qin Army, and an order was given to Sun Chuanting to add a minister of the Ministry of War.
The title ordered him to temporarily command the Qin army to prevent the northern invaders
