Fengzhou River is now the capital of Inner Mongolia Hohhot area, north of Daqing Mountain, south to Shaling Mountain, east from Manhan Mountain, west to Baotou along the Yellow River, is the Yellow River alluvial formation of the plain, the terrain is high in the north and low in the south, there are many rivers and lakes in the territory, the water and grass are abundant and beautiful, and the forests are luxuriant.

"Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four wildernesses. The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep low. ”

Presumably everyone is familiar with this "Song of Eile", which describes the Toyoshu River, which shows the richness and beauty of this place. As early as the pre-Qin period, King Wuling of Zhao defeated the two Hu tribes of Linhu and Lou Fu, who were grazing here, and established Yunzhong County.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, drove the remnant Yuan forces to the north of Yinshan, completely occupied the Monan region, and set up more than 40 guards to guard Monan. However, during the Yongle period, the Waspur people began to become stronger, and the defense line of the Ming army was constantly compressed, and after the "Tumubao Change", Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong was also captured by the Wathorn people, and the Ming army had to abandon the Hetao Plain and Fengzhou River, withdraw to the defense within the Great Wall, and establish a nine-sided town.

Later, the Varspur Taishi also died first, and the Watts were immediately divided, and the Tatars of Eastern Mongolia rose rapidly, and they occupied the Hetao and the Fengzhou River, and now it is the Tatar Tumert tribe who is stationed in the Fengzhou River, and the leader is Alta.

Let's say that Fengzhou River is not far from Youyu County, and it can be reached about 300 miles northwest after leaving the stoppage from the mouth of the killing Hukou.

There are two large rivers in the territory of the Fengzhou River, one is called the Big Black River and the other is called the Little Black River, and I have drawn a piece of land near the Little Black River to Zhao Quan, which is fertile and abundant, suitable for grazing and farming.

It is said that at the end of the sixteenth year of Zhengde, that is, about four years ago, Zhao Quan left Heitai Mountain with dozens of young people in the cottage, and resolutely followed me to Fengzhou River.

After obtaining the land allocated to him, Zhao Quan immediately began to build a house here, build Bansheng City, and open up wasteland for farming...... After nearly four years of development, there are now more than 20,000 Han people living in Bansheng City, which can provide a large amount of rice for the Tatars every year, as well as cloth, tea, utensils and other outputs.

Therefore, the strength of the Tumut tribe in Alta has developed so rapidly, and Zhao Quan has contributed a lot.

Bansheng, in Tatar, means house, and Bansheng City is a town with a house. That's right, it's a town, because Bansheng City has no city walls, and it's almost like an ordinary small town, so it's not a city.

Why didn't Zhao Quan build a city wall for Bansheng City?

First, because the manpower and material resources consumed to build the city wall are huge, and the newly established Bansheng City cannot afford to consume it at all, and I will not allow Zhao Quan to waste labor and time on this.

Second, the Tatars were accustomed to living in the water and grass, on horseback, coming and going like the wind, in their opinion, the attack is the best defense, only pigs and sheep would build stupid fences to enclose themselves inside, so there was no need to build a city wall.

In addition, since the fight against Yongle, the Ming Dynasty was basically on the defensive in the contest with the northern nomads, and the Ming army always cowered behind the Great Wall, and never dared to take half a step out of the Great Wall, let alone take the initiative to attack, so the Tatars thought that it was not necessary to build the city wall at all.

At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion of Bansheng City, Zhao Quan, Li Zixin, Qiu Fu, and Sun Cai, the backbone of the White Lotus Sect, had all arrived. Zhao Quan was holding a secret letter in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Xu Jin was ordered to patrol the border, and now he is in Datong." ”

The White Lotus Sect has many disciples in the border army, so the news that Xu Jin was ordered to patrol the border has been sent to Zhao Quan's hands at this moment.

Qiu Fu suddenly said with a fierce look in his eyes: "This dog official actually came to Datong, it is that there is a way in heaven for you not to take, and there is no way for hell to come and vote." Senior brother, why don't we take this opportunity to kill this dog official and avenge the dead brothers. ”

Zhao Quan's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, he was ruined by Xu Jin when he started an incident in Shandong, and the loss of soldiers was greatly injured, and the strength that he had accumulated over the years was gone, and finally fled back to Shanxi like a lost dog, as a result, Shanxi's nest was also uprooted by officers and soldiers, and his master Lu Mingzhen was killed, coupled with the fact that he turned against his sister Xue Bingxin, Zhao Quan hated Xu Jin to the core.

Of course, Qiu Fu also hated Xu Jin very much, because he counted the death of his younger brother Qiu Gui on Xu Jin's head, but in fact, the poison of the "Huangquan Umbrella" in Qiu Gui's place was actually cast by Zhao Quan, and Zhao Quan poisoned all the arrested White Lotus Sect members in the county government prison in order to extinguish his mouth.

Zhao Quan pondered for a moment and said, "I want to go to Datong in person, uncle, and I will leave this place to you for the time being." ”

Li Zixin stroked his long beard and smiled: "There is nothing to do, but don't take it lightly, there are many guards around Xu Jin, and it is not easy to kill him." ”

Zhao Quan said confidently: "Just act when you see the opportunity!" ”

At that moment, Zhao Quan took Qiu Fu and Sun Cai to ride out of Bansheng City, galloped on the grassland for about half an hour, and finally came to Altan Khan's handsome tent.

The Tatars do not live in houses, they live in yurts, which can be easily carried away in the car when they migrate.

Zhao Quan saw me in the tent and truthfully explained his intention to assassinate Xu Jin. Xu Jin's fame in Daming is so great, I have naturally heard of it, if I can get rid of this person, Daming will be equivalent to losing a pillar of talent, and I will be able to lose a strong opponent in the future, so I agreed to Zhao Quan's request, and also handed over the best marksman under his account to Zhao Quan to assist him in assassinating Xu Jin.

Zhao Quan couldn't help but be overjoyed, this guy named Temur was one of the best marksmen on the grassland, his arm strength was quite terrifying, he could pull out the five-stone bow, and he could hit a hundred shots, if it was a hundred steps away, Zhao Quan asked himself if he was against Temur, there was only one way to die.

"Xu Jin, you're going to die this time!" Zhao Quan's heart was overjoyed, and he left the handsome tent of Alta with Temur, Qiu Fu and Sun Cai, and then rode his horse south, heading straight in the direction of the Great Wall.

At the same time that Zhao Quan was murderously rushing straight to Datong, Xu Jin was also meticulously inspecting various passes in Datong Mansion, while Qi Jingtong and Xie Erjian were preparing to raid Fengzhou River and capture Zhao Quan and other White Lotus remnants.

It is the praying mantis that catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. It's just that I don't know who will kill the deer in the end?
