Today's ancestral birthday banquet invited Yuan Chonghuan in the name of discussing Jin Qizong's book. In fact, he wanted to seek a new alliance with Yuan Chonghuan.

Zu Dashou put his posture very low, and he punished himself with three cups at the beginning, and now he sincerely apologizes.

Yuan Chonghuan watched Zu Dashou's performance, and felt a little disdainful in his heart.

How's it going, playing with fire and setting yourself on fire, right? Lifted a stone and shot yourself in the foot, right?

You Guan Ningjun think that if you get rid of Sun Ge Lao and change the eunuch party, you will do it according to your wishes?

It's ridiculous.

I don't even dare to fight, and the court will still keep your wine bags and rice bags?

You Guan Ningjun also take it for granted.

Looking at Yuan Chonghuan's smiling expression, Zu Dashou knew that his performance was seen through by others. Of course, Zu Dashou never thought that he could hide it from Yuan Chonghuan.

"Yuan Daotai, brother, I'm a big boss, I'll just say it." Zu Dashou threw the wine glass on the table and said loudly.

"Yuan Daotai, I know that you look down on us soldiers, thinking that we are spineless, bloodless, and dare not fight." Zu Dashou's face was as red as a fire, and he was not ashamed, so angry that he was still burned by alcohol.

"Yuan Daotai, you can go and ask the sons and daughters below, one counts as one. Look at how many of them are willing to go to war with the Houjin Tartars. I'm afraid that those who are willing to fight with Houjin can be counted on one hand. Zu Dashou smiled sarcastically.

Pouring a glass of wine, Zu Dashou did not invite Yuan Chonghuan for wine this time, but leaned his neck and drank it by himself.

With a sigh of relief, Zu Dashou didn't eat either, and continued: "The big guys of the imperial court are far away, and you Yuan Daotai are not invisible. Can the current Guanning Army fight the Tartars?

Yuan Daotai, let me make it clear to you, if the current Guan Ning army really fights with the Tartars, it is guaranteed to fight and lose.

Let's not talk about anything else, how many people are there in our Guan Ning Army?

57,000 people.

In fact, I'm afraid there is a little bit of water in this number. ”

Zu Dashou shook his head and continued: "How many people are there in Tartar now?

At least 80,000 or more, right?

How many cavalry do we have?

It won't be more than 20,000 people! ”

Zu Dashou shook his head helplessly again.

"Yuan Daotai, among our 20,000 people, at least 10,000 can only be counted as horseback, not cavalry at all.

How many cavalry did the Tartars have?

There are at least 30,000 elite cavalry with skilled Tartar archers and horses, and they have fought in old battles. Most of the other ordinary soldiers also knew how to ride horses. ”

Zu Dashou suddenly raised his voice: "Yuan Daotai, you must know that the Tartar's bow and arrows are powerful. But do you know how many archers we have now?

I tell you, Yuan Daotai! Our entire Guanning army probably has less than 2,000 foot archers.

2000, 2000!

The entire Guanning army only had about 2,000 foot archers in total. Haha, haha. ”

Zu Dashou laughed loudly, and then poured another glass of wine.

Seeing that Zu Dashou was crazy, Yuan Chonghuan frowned, but he didn't speak.

"The main force of our infantry is the gunners. The gunners are good, the gunners are much better trained than the archers; Bird guns are also much cheaper than bows and arrows.

But the power of the bird gun is too small, and it can't beat the heavy armor of the tartar at all. We've been waiting for the court to increase the power of the bird's gun, but we don't know when we can get it.

Even if we have these bird guns in our hands, Yuan Daotai, you go and take a look, there are a lot of tattered and old ones. Those rags, when they are brought to the battlefield, they will explode at some point, who dares to use them! ”

Zu Dashou raised his wine glass and greeted Yuan Chonghuan: "Yuan Daotai, let's go again." ”

After speaking, Zu Dashou didn't care whether Yuan Chonghuan drank it or not, he drank it by himself.

"Speaking of defense, how many armors our soldiers have, Yuan Daotai should also know very well. Just a little armor, or cotton armor is the majority. How do we fight with the triple armor of the Tartars.

Fighting Tartar doesn't depend on this little bit of family around us. It is impossible for all the families of our Guan Ning Army to add up to more than 5,000 people.

There are so many Guanning troops in total, and they have to guard so many places. Yuan Daotai, how do you tell us to fight the Tartars. ”

After saying this, Zu Dashou stopped talking and looked at the candle flame on the table.

After listening to Zu Dashou's seemingly drunk words, Yuan Chonghuan didn't know what to say for a while.

Zu Dashou said something watery, but most of it was still the truth. It was precisely because Zu Dashou was telling the truth that Yuan Chonghuan was not able to answer his question.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Chonghuan smiled.

"General Zu, no matter how much you say, it can't change the fact that the Guanning army is avoiding the war." Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile.

Yuan Chonghuan's smile was cold.

"I don't know if General Zu has thought about it, if the Guan Ning army doesn't even dare to fight against the Houjin Tartars, then what's the use of the imperial court still raising the Guan Ning army?" Yuan Chonghuan said sarcastically.

Yes, if the Guan Ning army didn't even dare to fight, how could the imperial court trust them. If the hounds don't even dare to climb the mountain, they will have to kill and eat meat.

Hearing this, Zu Dashou felt bitter.

It's all the fault of the rout of the army.

"General Zu, I understand what the general meant. I can also say a few words for Guan Ningjun, but what can Guan Ningjun do for Daming? Yuan Chonghuan had a smile on his face, but what he said made Zu Dashou feel a little chilly.

"General Zu, I have repeatedly confirmed that the Houjin Tartar will definitely come to take revenge. Even, as soon as autumn comes, they may come. Is the general still reluctant to give up those farmsteads outside the city? Yuan Chonghuan asked with a grin.

Gritting his teeth, Zu Dashou stubbornly said, "I don't care about others." From today on, my ancestor will be headed by Yuan Daotai. Yuan Daotai has an order, and I don't obey it. As for those Zhuangzi? I'll leave tomorrow. ”

They Guan Ningjun really have no way to go this time, so everyone should take care of each other. Zu Dashou saw it very clearly.

"If you want to keep Guan Ning's army, it's up to Ning Yuan's battle."

Seeing Zu Dashou's clear statement, Yuan Chonghuan said word by word. He is not afraid that Zu Dashou will regret it, and Guan Ningjun has no way to retreat.

Zu Dashou also knows this very well in his heart.

Ningyuan city is preserved, and Guanning army is preserved; If Ning Yuan is lost, Guan Ningjun will only have the fate of disbanding.

Daming South, Dayuan Wharf

Zheng Yiguan suppressed the excitement in his heart and appeared on this dock again.

This time, Zheng Yiguan is here to give people away.

"Father-in-law, would you better rest for a few days before leaving? If you really don't feel at ease, let an official run this trip for you, right? Zheng Yiguan sincerely persuaded.

"Ahem," Li Dan coughed lightly.

"I'm fine. The navigation permit has finally been issued. I'll have to rush back to Hirado right away, and I'm still waiting for the shogun. An official, I'll leave it to you, you have to take care of it for me, don't slack off? Li Dan coughed while explaining what he couldn't let go.
