At the beginning of the banquet, the bold Mongolian men naturally did not refuse to come to drink.

Whether it is Sifeng old wine or burnt knife liquor, it is a glass to a dry wine.

Chongzhen always said that Mangui was a Mongolian, not a Mongolian. Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui both expressed doubts about this.

Chongzhen smiled and pretended to be deep every time, because he knew that the Mongols would eventually integrate into China and become one of the fifty-six ethnic groups.

"The man who sets the horse, you are majestic and majestic...... watching the two of them drink to the dry wine, Chongzhen even sang a moving Mongolian ballad.

Man Gui liked this easy-to-understand and cheerful and interesting ethnic style, and thought that it could show the uninhibited and indulgent character of the Mongolian people.

Yuan Chonghuan was particularly interested in the "Ordos Yellow River Manhan Tune", that is, an ancient song composed with Mongolian tunes and Han lyrics.

The simple man Gui naively thought that this was the governor of Liaodong, known as "Yuan Shuai", who had an inner resonance with himself, and it was a manifestation of his recognition.

Chongzhen knew that this guy was just coveting the Yellow River loop area occupied by Mongolian tribes at the western end of the Great Wall, and that fertile land was suitable for farming and raising horses.

After drinking, the man with a cheeky face felt that he couldn't enjoy drinking with a cup, so he simply replaced it with a large bowl, and every time a wine flowed down his beard, he grabbed it and threw it into his mouth.

This skill and thrift, Yuan Chonghuan was amazed, and he retched, seeing Man Gui staring at the red bull's eyes, his heart shook slightly, and the secret gentleman did not have the courage of a horseman, so he lied that he was drunk and wanted to vomit.

Yuan Chonghuan, who had been reminded by Chongzhen in advance, saw that he couldn't drink it, so he played a little cautiously.

Chongzhen, who ordered to pour wine on the side, took on the role of bartender part-time, and used a bowl full of "roasted clip Lao" to pay tribute to the Mongolian heroes who were about to go north and west, seeking war horses for the Ming Dynasty.

Man Gui suddenly didn't care about the temptation and warning in and out of Yuan Chonghuan's words, but squinted at the truth with a bull's eye, and said: "If it's a toast, why do I drink alone?" You're going to drink with me, too! ”

Chongzhen smiled: "You are a general, and you are just a small soldier under the mark, how dare you drink it?" Besides, the handsome is currently ......"

"The size is also a garrison, Hugh said that these have not, according to the rules of our Mongolians, since you toast to me, you need to drink the same amount of wine as me, so as to show fairness and justice, the true character of a hero, otherwise there will be a suspicion of a despicable villain's wheel war, what kind of hero should you be?

However, this is the place of your Han people, although I am a Mongolian, but I have been fighting for your Han court for half my life, and it is not an exaggeration to dare to call myself a Han person, so I follow the rules of the Han people.

Forget all the things in front of you, if you are sincere in this bowl of mixed wine, you will also have a bowl. I only ask you, do you dare or not? Would you like to or not? If you don't dare, you can't be called a hero, and if you don't want to, you look down on me. ”

Man Gui's voice has always been like a bell roaring.

The guards at the door and in the courtyard heard it clearly, and Yuan Chonghuan always liked to open the door to discuss matters in order to show that he was open-minded, so he attracted a group of guards to look in secretly.

Having said that, it is tantamount to Man Gui, the representative of Mongolia, representing a small but extremely brave Mongolian in the army and an even smaller number of foreign people.

Towards the Han people, who have the advantage in both numbers and positions, they issued the last declaration of "we are brothers", and longed to be recognized and accepted.

If Chongzhen does not accept it, then there is a suspicion of undermining national unity.

The alien cavalry, mainly Mongols, under the command of Man Gui, would henceforth completely separate from the Guanning army, and eventually sow the shadow of infighting in some way that made people sigh.

Therefore, even if Yuan Chonghuan didn't give himself a look, even if the guards outside the door didn't stretch their necks to watch a good show, even if Mangui's Mongolian guards didn't keep an eye on his every move.

He would resolutely shout: "Why don't you dare? Why not? This bowl of wine is labeled to dry first, you are free! ”

As he spoke, he picked up the huge wine bowl with both hands, and poured it down with a clatter, the Adam's apple stirred, and the speed was very fast, and the wine did not spill.

Man Gui gave him a thumbs up, also held the bowl of wine, stood up and drank it in the same way.

Eyes met, laughing.

Man Gui looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said, "Handsome, this kid is really a man." Why don't you assign him to me and serve you in the cavalry camp under my command?

You also know that in addition to the heavily armored iron cavalry directly under you, my Laoman's cavalry battalion is also one of the best among all the general soldiers in Guanning, and it is also Zu Dashou's old thief who can compete with my Laoman.

Well, in fact, Zhao rate taught that guy well......"

Yuan Chonghuan said noncommittally: "Since they are all under the command of this handsome, as long as Dashou agrees, there is nothing to do." ”

Man Gui pouted and said, "That's a hairless turtle grandson, how could he agree?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then there is no way to be handsome." ”

Chongzhen felt both indignant and helpless at the behavior of the two of them snatching themselves like goods.

But he heard Man Gui say again: "Since the marshal wants me to go to Mongolia to buy war horses, then there is a matter about the riding camp, and I have to talk about it in public and private." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Yuan Chonghuan raised his head and drank the burning knife in the cup.

He was really ready to pour a full bowl of wine, but when he saw that he wiped his beard with his mouth, he dried up a bowl of old wine, and smashed his mouth with a sigh of relief, so he had to helplessly but diligently sift a bowl for it.

"Marshal, you have a good command and a strategy for governing the army, I am full of thousands of servies, but there is one point, I am always afraid to agree."

Man Gui said, and then dried a bowl of old wine into his big belly, and the words he said were the same as the wine he drank, rampage, without a charter.

Chongzhen secretly screamed badly, but after thinking about it, it was precisely because of this that some words were said by him to Yuan Chonghuan, which was more appropriate.

"Oh? Which point? Yuan Chonghuan sat still, only drank a cup of burning knives, but Chongzhen still glimpsed the anger in his heart from his sudden movements.

Chongzhen was like a waiter, sifting through the wine for the two of them, and persuaded in a low voice: "Whether it's Si Feng's old wine or burning knives, it's all very stamina, you two can drink it leisurely......

"You go away!" Before Chongzhen finished speaking, the two of them turned their heads and scolded him at the same time, and then turned back and stared at each other deadly, and they were on the bar.

Chongzhen was helpless, so he had to retreat, and secretly said that Lao Tzu's good words, good wine, and good meat were all fucking fed to the dogs.

But seeing that his mouth was full of Yuan Chonghuan's angry eyes, he glared back with bull's eyes, and said stubbornly: "Sir, the cavalry that you have finally expanded is divided into the accounts of the major general soldiers and deputy general soldiers. There are even many generals and guerrillas under the command of the commanders.

If you want me to say, what is this for? As everyone knows, there are many advantages to cooperation, and there are many disadvantages to divide, so it is better to gather all the cavalry together and form a 10,000-strong formation like a slave. ”

"Are you saying that I'm Guanning Iron Army, not as good as Jiannu Ye Army?" Yuan Chonghuan said angrily.

"Huh? The handsome man is angry, I don't mean that. Only then did Man Gui realize that there was something wrong with his words, that is, Guan Ningjun should not be compared with the Houjin army, which was Yuan Chonghuan's imprisonment.

He hurriedly corrected: "I mean, you have probably never seen 10,000 horses galloping on the vast grassland at the same time, which is called an overwhelming, shocking, and blood-boiling scene." ”

Yuan Chonghuan has never seen the scene of 10,000 horses galloping on the grassland, but the taste of 10,000 horses galloping in his heart has been tasted.

He stared at Man Gui gloomily, but the latter didn't know whether he didn't care or realized it later, and suddenly pointed to the truth: "Eh, this kid may have seen it on his way back to the Mongolian steppe on his way back to Ming after the spy war." Hey, you said better than I sang, come and tell the big guy about that scene. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and drank another bowl of wine—the ball kicked......

Looking at Xiao Ban, the wine was submerged in his already wet beard, and Chongzhen knew that he had reached the end of his strong crossbow, but he was just reckless with his strong body, so he muttered in a low voice: "What a waste." ”

Yuan Chonghuan also drank the wine in the cup, and gently placed the wine glass on the table.

Chongzhen knows that Dashuai is encouraging himself and promising - open up and say, Benshuai will not blame you.

"Hey, what are you muttering about? Don't get over here yet. Man Gui scolded loudly

Chongzhen could smell his fishy spittle from a long distance, and he was known for his cleanliness and stood in place with a grin, waiting for the air to purify itself.

It wasn't until Man Gui glared at the bull's eye and was about to get angry that he stepped forward to pour wine for the two.

Cai said: "In the past, when Jin detoured to Mongolia after the spy war, all I saw was the Gobi Desert-like Horqin Sandy Land, and the scene of thousands of horses galloping on the grassland, but I was never fortunate enough to see it.

However, in the earlier Juehua Guard Battle, I had seen the scene of Jiannu's 10,000-strong cavalry array charging, and the frozen sea was wider than the grassland, and it was indeed full of momentum.

However, the so-called 'Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000 people, and 10,000 are invincible', and under the strategic thinking of the marshal 'fortifying the city and relying on the cannon', it may not be able to get much benefit.

Whether it was the battle under the city of Ningyuan or the battle on Juehua Island, Houjin paid a great price, and the result was still a good proof.

The terrain of the western Liaoning corridor is long and narrow, and our Guanning army has several fortified cities and countless forts, which has become an impregnable defense line, which is not conducive to the development of the 10,000-person cavalry array.

Therefore, it is believed that General Manchu has some truth in what he said, but he is not completely reasonable. Dare to paraphrase what you said to the marshal just now - I don't dare to agree.

Charging into battle, there is indeed no one in the Guanning army who is out of the general's right, but if you judge the situation, guide according to the situation, and make full use of the favorable conditions of the time, place and people, thinking that our army will increase the chances of victory, you will not be as good as the commander. ”
