However, Dong Ce also knows that this is the difference between seeking oneself and not seeking oneself, and it is only then that Liu Daqi asks for himself, so he has the brother's statement. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to call others brothers and sisters in order to inquire about the news from himself, he would really be unqualified.

Dong Ce will not give up such an opportunity to enhance his connections and get to know the high-level, he is also out of the way, and he still doesn't believe it, with his own drinking, he can't put Liu Daqiqi down?

But I didn't expect that this Liu Daqi had a really good amount of wine, and the two of them went back and forth, and in a blink of an eye, they were four or five catties of wine. Liu Daqi's eyes were still clear, his face was as usual, Dong Ce couldn't help but secretly complain, and he was afraid that he would be planted in his hands this time. At this time, Liu Daqi suddenly came up to Dong Ce and said in a low voice: "Brother Dong, what is your plan for Lord Liu?" You really don't know!? ”

Dong Ce's heart froze, he glanced at Liu Daqi, and said secretly in his heart: "This Liu Daqi is really not simple, what he just showed is just an illusion, this person is actually quite scheming, obviously asking me to drink with him, in fact, I am only afraid that it is to get me drunk and then make a statement." ”

Since this is the case, it is even more impossible to get drunk, Dong Ce deliberately pretended to be worried, drunk and confused, and stammered: "Liu, Liu, Brother Liu, I, what did I lie to you?" Little brother really doesn't know! Come, come, drink! Drink! ”

As he spoke, he filled Liu Daqi's cup again.

Liu Daqi looked at him deeply, and he couldn't figure out whether Dong Ce was pretending to be drunk or really drunk. But he also knew that it was impossible to get something out of this kid's mouth today.

Under the depression in his heart, the wine was dry, he originally drank better than Dong Ce, but today he was a little drunk, so he was drunk faster than Dong Ce. Later, when he was so drunk that he lay on the table unconscious, Dong Ce could probably stay a little sober.

It wasn't until late at night that the banquet dispersed.

Liu Daqi was so drunk that he couldn't get on the horse, but his own soldiers carried him back. Looking at his drunken appearance, Liu Ruozai and Bai Yiqing's faces were full of dissatisfaction.

And after Dong Ce got Liu Daqi drunk, he just went out and vomited for a while, and washed his face with cold water, but his face was as usual at this time, and he couldn't tell that he was almost drunk just now.

Then he and Liu Ruozai returned to the station that had been arranged for them.

This is a good place, I think it was also the mansion of a wealthy family, and the place is large enough to accommodate hundreds of them. The house is also spacious and clean, and it is very comfortable to live in.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Dong Ce got up early, boxed, and washed. As soon as he finished breakfast, someone came to inform him, and Liu Ruozai invited him over.

Dong Ce was stunned, and he was a little puzzled, not knowing what Liu Ruozai was going to do when he called him in the early morning.

He cleaned up and immediately went to see Liu Ruozai.

The window of the study was open, Dong Ce glanced inside, and saw Liu Ruozai pacing by himself, as if thinking about something. Dong Ce knocked lightly on the door of the study, and Liu Ruozai's voice came: "Come in!" ”

"Yes!"

Dong Ce responded and cautiously pushed the door in.

Dong Ce saluted, and Liu Ruozai waved his hand and said, "Get up, you can help me take a look at this." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the north wall of the study, Dong Ce responded, got up, and looked at the wall. I saw a huge map hanging on the north wall of the study, Dong Ce glanced at it, and judged from the place names marked on it that this should be a map of Gansu Town and some areas north of Gansu Town.

"As for how we should act this time, the old man discussed with Governor Bai for a long time yesterday, and called you here today to hear what you have to say?"

Liu Ruozai looked at Dong Ce and said gently: "I know that you have always been insightful, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." Old man, I will not blame. ”

Dong Ce just told Liu Daqi yesterday that Liu Ruozai would never discuss this kind of matter, but he didn't expect that Liu Ruozai would find himself early this morning in order to discuss this matter.

From what Liu Ruozai said just now, he also clearly felt the change in Liu Ruozai's attitude towards him. In the past, how could this kind of thing be mixed in? I'm afraid that if I say more, I will be severely reprimanded. Liu Ruozai will not say anything like 'you might as well say that I won't be blamed'.

The reason for such a change is that after all, it is because of what he has done well, which makes Liu Ruozai value himself more.

Dong Ce responded and nodded heavily, without showing any pride and self-esteem on his face, which was something that Liu Ruozai admired him very much.

Dong Ce walked to the front of the map and looked at it carefully. The map is so large that it takes up almost the entire wall. It can be seen that the people who made this map are very careful, and the mountains, rivers, cities, villages and towns on the map are all marked very clearly and carefully. Some of the maps of this era that Dong Ce saw in the past were abstract and like landscape paintings, but this one was different and tried to be fine. There is even a distance between two points.

And on the top of each castle fort, the garrison of this place will also be marked, which makes it look much more convenient.

Out of Suzhou Wei to the northwest, less than 100 miles is Jiayu Pass, and from Jiayu Pass to the north 200 miles away, is the big grass beach. If you start from Jiayuguan and the team is all cavalry, you can reach Dacaotan within a day. And at this speed, there will not be much damage to the war horse, and there will still be considerable physical strength on the ground.

"My lord," Dong Ce looked at Liu Ruozai and asked, "My subordinates take the liberty of asking, I don't know how many troops we can use?" ”

Then he deliberately emphasized: "Only cavalry." ”

Liu Ruozai pondered for a moment and said, "Liu Daqi has 1,500 cavalry here, and he also has more than 200 elite soldiers. The guerrilla general at Jiayuguan still had about 300 cavalry and more than 50 soldiers. That's about it. ”

How can it be so little? Dong Ce was shocked, but then he thought of a reason.

Although they are both important border towns, compared with Jizhen, Datong Town, and Xuanfu Town, which have been fighting with Jiannu or the Mongolian tribes in the north for many years, there are undoubtedly many fewer wars in Gansu. At present, the finances of the imperial court are also very difficult, the treasury is empty, and the imperial court is also stretched. For the sake of silver, Emperor Chongzhen's gray hair became more and more day by day. Relying on this meager imperial finance, it is impossible to keep all the armies in the country treated the same. In this case, there will inevitably be a focus.

Jiannu is the enemy of Tianzi No. 1, so the officers and soldiers of Liaozhen are treated the best, the food and salary are the most sufficient, and the soldiers are more sufficient. And the righteous army is the second enemy after Jiannu, so the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou, who is leading the army to encircle and suppress the army, and the soldiers under other generals such as Cao Bianjiao and others, are also treated well, second only to those in Liaozhen. Again, it is the recruitment of troops in places such as Datong Town and Xuanfu Town.

And in the imperial court, the most unpopular, and the least amount of food and pay was allocated to the military towns that did not have many wars and the surrounding enemies did not seem to threaten much.

The silver taels allocated by the imperial court every year are just a little bit, and they have to be exploited layer by layer, and there is not much left when it falls to the town of Gansu. Not to mention, these civil and military officials in Gansu Town also have to make a fortune from it. If others don't say it, let's just say Bai Yiqing, Liu Daqi, and Wang Wuluo, they will definitely not make less money from them every year.

When they finish fishing, how much silver will be left?

Dong Ce thought about it this way, and suddenly found that in this case, it was really not easy for Liu Daqi to raise more than a thousand cavalry. "My subordinates dare to ask my lord, I don't know what you think of this Chahar department? Do you want to fight, or do you want to stroke? Dong Ce asked again. This question is actually quite difficult to answer, Liu Ruozai twisted his brows and thought for a while, before he said in a deep voice: "You can caress it, try to caress it, if you can't caress it, then you will naturally have to fight!" ”
