Daheishan, in the northeast of Jinzhou, is tall and steep, with the Great Wall built on it. The planned ambush location is a valley on the grassland side of the pass.

As expected of the local snake Guan Ningjun, who knew the surrounding terrain very well, he chose this valley to ambush. If the artillery fire is from the mountain, there will be no place to hide below the valley, and the exit of the valley can even be blocked. Throwing logs and stones from the cliffs on the west mountain can also cause a lot of damage to the enemies in the valley.

Today, this place is very lively. The Ming Dynasty cavalry, led by the banner with the word "Cao", brought carts of food. When they arrived at the valley, the chiefs of the Aiman'er tribe and the Huerte tribe had already led their tribesmen to wait here.

Seeing the arrival of Cao Wenzhao's army, he hurriedly greeted him and greeted him with the most noble Mongolian etiquette.

Cao Wenzhao sat on his horse and looked very arrogant. He pointed his whip at them and asked, "Has the news spread?"

The two clan leaders knew what he was referring to, and the clan leader of the Huerte tribe quickly replied: "I have sent people to inform you. After the villain sees the food, he will send people to inform him again, so that the Qing troops... before Jianlu sends troops Come and extract!”

The patriarch of the Aiman'er tribe also responded in the same way, saying that everything was going according to plan.

After hearing this, Cao Wenzhao put his hand back and said: "Elder Ge knows that your tribe will not be able to survive any longer, so he will first allocate three carts of grain to each of your tribes. The rest of the grain cannot be moved for the time being, and will be used as bait to lure the captives." Coming into the valley.”

While they were talking, only the Ming army drove six carriages forward, which were piled with grain bags.

When the clan leaders of the Aiman'er tribe and the Huerte tribe saw it, they were both overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

Cao Wenzhao looked indifferent and pointed with his riding whip: "Come on, hand them over and check them on the spot. I can also hand over to Mr. Ge!"

So, some soldiers immediately came forward and took the initiative to hand over to the two Mongolian tribes. In order to show that there was no foul play, they even opened the grain bag and took out serious grain for them to check. After everything was verified, the grain truck was regarded as The handover is out.

The chiefs of the Aiman'er tribe and the Huerte tribe were very happy, and could not suppress the smiles on their faces. They quickly and diligently expressed that they were here to help the Ming army unload food and attack.

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he shouted with a cold face: "Besides herding cattle, what else can you Mongolians do?"

These words made the two heads of the Mongolian tribes stunned. They didn't know what he meant by that.

But immediately, Cao Wenzhao's words cleared up their doubts: "These grains are what Jianlu must get, and they are also the most important bait. Therefore, they must be placed carefully so that Jianlu cannot move them away so easily. This will give our army more time to annihilate them!"

Having said this, he pointed with his horsewhip and said: "You stand back, and my handsome sons will arrange it for you!"

After hearing this, the chiefs of the Aiman'er tribe and the Huerte tribe retreated, ready to see what the Ming army would do.

I saw that the Ming army found a flat open space at the back of the valley. After cleaning up the debris, they began to carry bags from the grain truck and set up a ground in an orderly manner. Among them, one of the soldiers accidentally fell to the ground, and the grain bag on his shoulder fell out. The grain bag broke and all the grain inside spilled out, which made the Mongolians feel very distressed. Naturally, this also attracted Cao Wenzhao's scolding, telling them to be careful. Anyone who spilled food again would be subject to military law!

Not to mention, after this military order was passed down, no one in the Ming army fell to the ground. They all carefully moved the food and built it like a hill. Not only was it in order, but fences were also built around it. Protect the ground.

After seeing that the grains were piled up, Cao Wenzhao called the chiefs of the Aimaner tribe and the Huerte tribe. With a cold face, he pointed at the grains with a riding crop and said: "These grains don't belong to you now, only you." After you finish what you should do and let me make great contributions, the food will belong to you. Therefore, before that, if you dare to touch the food here, don't blame me for being rude!"

The two clan leaders turned a blind eye to his rudeness, arrogance, and contempt in his words and deeds. They even claimed to be right on the surface, but secretly said in their hearts: "I'll let you be arrogant, wait and see!"

After Cao Wenzhao finished his instructions, he turned around and left, leading his men and horses back to go up the mountain from behind the mountain to the west of the valley. Probably because this side of the mountain is a cliff, but that side is a flat slope, like a right triangle.

The two chiefs of the Mongolian tribes wanted to send each other off, but Cao Wenzhao's personal guards stopped him: "What are you doing? Do you want to spy on the arrangement of my Guan Ning army?"

"Don't dare, I definitely don't mean that." The leader of the Aiman'er tribe stopped quickly and said with an apologetic smile. It is said that a phoenix that landed on the ground is not as good as a chicken. The dignified leader of a tribe had to accept the scolding of a personal guard in the middle area of ​​​​the Ming army, and he had to keep a smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, this was not over yet, and the guard actually yelled again: "It's better to stay away from our food, otherwise you will think you want to steal the food. When the time comes, don't blame us for missing something on the mountain."

After finishing speaking, he even pointed forward with his hand, gestured and said: "It's best not to go beyond there, hum!"

Continue to endure, the two clan leaders quickly agreed, while suppressing their tempers and admonishing themselves. Because they also discovered that Cao Wenzhao must have heard his personal guards speaking, but did not care, so his attitude was naturally clear.

The guards turned around, caught up with Cao Wenzhao, and complained: "Commander, we don't have much food ourselves, so we can't imagine giving them so much!"

The voice of these words was a bit loud, and the two clan leaders heard it, and they suddenly understood why the guard was so rude. It turned out to be because of this!

The two of them watched Cao Wenzhao go away, and suddenly discovered that in the distance of the Ming army, they also carried artillery, led by horses, and were blocked by the figures of the Ming army's infantry. How many cannons. It can be seen that Guan Ningjun is obviously determined to win this ambush.

The two clan leaders looked at each other, then turned back and ordered their confidants to pull the grain carts given by the Ming army back to the grassland. After they were far out of the valley, a few more people broke away from the team escorting the food and sped towards Shenyang.

The two clan chiefs who stayed in the valley listened to Cao Wenzhao's words and did not dare to go near the grain piles. In other words, they did not want to cause trouble, but they were quite content. I just heard the Ming army's movements from time to time behind the mountains in the distance, and even on the top of the mountain, there were Ming troops repairing fortifications. These all indicated that there was going to be a fierce battle here.
