Wei Qi clapped his hands and praised: "Sacrifice one's life to win the country, how magnificent! It's a shot!" Then he raised the nobleman at his knees and drank it all in one gulp. The other two people had no choice but to drink up the wine as well. Wei Qi added more wine.
Mang Mao said: "This army was originally led by a humble man. If he is called Cheng Ren, he should be led by a humble man. Why should he use Daliang Wei as his own? Besides, Daliang Wei is responsible for guarding Daliang. How can he leave in a moment?"
Daliang Wei said: "The civilian army around Daliang has deployed defenses, and Pianbi is in contact with Wei, and all the gate officers know it. Daliang City is high and the ditch is deep, so there will be no mistakes. The general has the great trust of the king, how can he take the danger lightly. Pianbi A brave man deserves his duty.”
Wei Qi said: "There is no need to argue. I will go to the palace immediately and present my proposal to the king for your decision. Regardless of Mang Qing or Liang Wei, one person will rush to the army to replace the son of Xinling, and send as many soldiers as possible to accompany him. Qing. I will immediately supervise and lead the army, sneak up on the Qin army, and then kill them."
The two of them said, "In this case, we will say goodbye and listen to you tomorrow!" Wei Qi wanted to leave the meal, but the two of them said goodbye. Wei Qi then went straight to the hall and the two left. Wei Qi changed his clothes and went into the palace to discuss with King Wei.
The two of them walked out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Their carriages and horses were outside Daliang Gate. They could only walk to Daliang Gate to get on the carriage. This area is between the palace wall and the Daliang city wall. The avenue is wide, with the residences of important ministers to the north and the city wall to the south. The chasm enters the city from the North Water Gate, turns to the southeast in front of Daliang Gate, and flows out of the South Water Gate. At this time of war, all the gates were closed, soldiers were patrolling up and down the city walls, and there was no one on the road. The two walked side by side for a while, and Mang Mao whispered: "What does Lieutenant Daliang want to do?"
Daliang Wei said: "There is no other plan, just risk your life."
Mang Mao said: "If the situation is not so great, how can we talk about life and death lightly!"
Lieutenant Daliang said: "I am short-sighted and short-sighted. I only need the general's advice."
Mang Mao said: "The most important thing for the whole army is money! The Prime Minister of Wei believes in keeping money. He would rather defeat the army and seek wealth, which is not the blessing of the country. This is what Liang Wei has hoped for."
Daliang Wei said: "Why should I be treated as such?"
Mang Mao said: "Based on the views of Prime Minister Wei, he will not come out here, so I dare not say a word during the discussion. I don't have six ears at this time, so I dare to speak. I hope that Lieutenant Liang will make no mistakes."
Captain Daliang said: "How dare you!"
Mang Mao said: "When Liang Wei saw Lord Xinling, he only expressed humble intentions and said that Prime Minister Wei wanted to defeat the army because of his wealth. In short, tell the truth about what the three people discussed at the table today. Lord Xinling must have a perfect plan. .”
Daliang Wei bowed and said: "Thank you for your advice!"
The two of them were talking all the way, and before they knew it, they had arrived in front of Daliang Gate. The two men's carriages and horses saw them from a distance, and hurriedly prepared their carriages and rushed over. The two of them said goodbye, got in their cars and left. Mang didn't see Daliang Wei's carriage going far away and there was no one around, so he quietly asked: "How is the meeting going?"
"There is no court today, only public discussion in front of the court."
"Can you listen to your father?"
"It was not dismissed."
"My father was the wise man of the late king, and his popularity remains unabated to this day!"
"The only thing is not right."
"Ah? What's the matter!"
"What to do with the army led by my father?"
"Why reject it?"
"If you don't allow exemption from taxes, you would rather lose the army!"
Mang Wei's eyes widened in surprise: "Would you rather destroy your army than lose your wealth?"
"Exactly! I didn't expect him to be so dizzy!" Mang Mao said bitterly.
"How to deal with it?"
"As Daliang Lieutenant, he entered the army and fought to the death with the Qin army."
"If this is the case, one hundred thousand people will be gone!"
“That’s not it yet!”
"Father, do you have any other ideas?"
"Go home first, and we'll discuss it later with our father and son."
Before Mang shook off the reins, the carriage started running quickly on the empty street, and soon it arrived in the middle. The prison door opened and the two led the car into the mansion. Mang Mao went to the hall first, took a hand joint, called a housekeeper, and told him to hold the joint to invite Mr. Che You and Mr. Hu Zhong to have dinner with him. When several sons heard that their father had returned, they also gathered in the lobby from their respective courtyards. Everyone said the ceremony, and the elders and younger ones stood on both sides. The five sons of the Mang family are each named after the earthly branch of the day they were born. From eldest to youngest, they are Yin, Hai, Chen, Wei, and Shen. Mang Wei had not returned from unloading the truck, and there were only four sons in the hall at this time. The two sons Yin and Hai were born when Mang Mao married his elder brother's sister-in-law after his death; the other three sons were born to the current Mrs. Xuxian. In recent years, Mrs. Xuxian has grown old and found it difficult to earn a living, so she bought several concubines and gave birth to several children, but they were not yet adults and were only raised in the backyard and not in the lobby.
The father and son talked for a while. Mangwei had finished unloading the car and went back to his yard to put on more clothes. He also came to the hall, met his father and brothers again, and stood in class. An announcement was made at the door that the two gentlemen invited had arrived. Mang Mao shouted "please", stood up and went out to welcome him, and went down the steps. The five sons were lined up on both sides of the steps. When the two gentlemen entered the door, they greeted each other with bows and bows. The host and guest went up the steps together and bowed again in front of the hall. After entering the hall, the host and guest took their seats. The five sons filed in and were once again divided into two classes.
Mang Mao chatted with two gentlemen, Che and Hu, and said, "I have some unknown matters. I need to ask you for advice. I invite you two gentlemen to have a meal together." Then he turned to his sons and said, "You should also have a meal together in the hall." ." The two gentlemen and the fifth son saluted. Boss Mang Yin ordered to go down. When they were young, the family boy came to the front of the hall with the food tray. The five sons first brought the food trays of Mangmao, Che and Hu to everyone at the table. They were all three tripods and two gui; They only had one tripod and one Gui, and they brought two tables and sat down respectively. After Mang Mao and the two gentlemen rewarded each other according to courtesy, they signaled to the fifth son. Everyone began to eat. After eating for a while, the food table was removed. Mang Mao said: "It's cool in the hall, let's go sit down in Nuan Pavilion!" Everyone got up and followed Mang Mao to Nuan Pavilion. It was almost dusk, the lamps in the Nuan Pavilion were already lit, and all the tables were ready. Under Mang Yin's command, the boys brought in a jar of sake and a few wooden cups. Mang Mao said: "Let's talk all night long by the lamp, so we can skip the singing ceremony!" The two gentlemen said: "That's what it is." Mang Yin filled the wooden cup with sake and put it on the table in front of everyone's table. Under the guidance of Mang Mao, everyone took a sip of sake and placed it on the table.
Mang Mao said: "Sir, you already know the current military situation, so you should be able to teach me!"
After a moment of silence, Mr. Che You said first: "The Qin army is heading towards the Qin Dynasty, and its momentum is very clear. What will happen to the court today?"
Mang Mao said: "There is no court today, only public discussion. It was agreed that Daliang should be the main focus, and the west and south township armies should be extended to Liguo in the southwest for defense. The soldiers were divided into two directions. The Beixiang army moved into the city. The Dongxiang army turned to the south of the city."
Mr. Cheyou said: "What should the civilian army do outside Putian City now?"
Mang Mao said: "Reply Lord Xinling with Lieutenant Daliang, sneak up on the Qin army, and fight to the death with it."
Mr. Che You said: "So many times I gave up on unsealing, what can I do?"
Mang Mao said: "All the princes say that Daliang is a serious matter, and the disease of scabies is unsealed."
Mr. Cheyou said: "Kai Feng is not a scabies disease, it is really a heart attack. Your Majesty understands his intention!"
Mang Mao said: "How could I not know that unsealing is related to the safety of Daliang. But if the Qin army plunders the suburbs, the princes think it is impossible. I think that if the Qin army plunders the suburbs, there will be no return; but if they are allowed to plunder the suburbs, there is still a connection. Han Yitu can be a maneuver."
Mr. Che You said: "The King of Han is stingy and will never go out lightly."
Mang Mao said: "Then let's see how much the king can offer. You and I don't know that Prime Minister Wei would rather destroy the army in order to save farmland and military food. How can you gain the world without plucking a hair?"
