After sighing again, Mang Mao said again: "The defense in the city at night is arranged by Daliang Wei. Although Daliang Wei is outside the city, it is also in good order."
Wei Qi said: "Although Mr. Liang Wei is young, he has the spirit of being his father. It is a blessing for Mr. Liang Wei to have a son like this."
Mang Mao said: "Liang Wei is out of the city, and Mr. Liang Wei still has some power, but he can also reduce his responsibility a little."
Wei Qi heard the sour meaning in it and explained: "What the general said is inappropriate. Young Master Liang Ru'er, it is the limit to deal with the situation without chaos. After all, it is not as far-sighted as the general, and he is mature enough to plan for the country."
Mang Mao said: "Otherwise. In my opinion, it would be better to appoint Mr. Liang Wei as military counselor. He will definitely be able to make the formations harmonious and give strict orders."
Wei Qi didn't understand what he meant and hesitated: "What the general saw must be correct... But this child is very young. It seems that he is less than twenty years old. He may not be able to bear it..."
Mang Mao said: "Although the young master is young, he is very ambitious, strict in his actions and has extraordinary insights."
Wei Qi said: "I have never met a certain person, but I don't know that this son has such a reputation as a general."
Mang Mao said: "Young Master came here when I was young, and the Prime Minister knew it as soon as he saw it."
Wei Qi said: "The general is alone, what does Qi have to do!"
Mang Mao said: "Then it's agreed. With this kind of government, the country will be the Prime Minister, and the army will be Liang Wei, so I feel a little at ease. The remaining matters of public security and dispatching are Mang's lack of talent, so I would like to use my dog as my son."
Wei Qidao: "This is such a humiliation of talent. Among the Mang family, who can't be the sole leader? They are all outstanding in literature or martial arts."
Mang Mao said: "I would like to use the Prime Minister's good words to the country, and if I get them in the future, I will die without regrets."
Wei Qi stopped him and said, "General, why did you say such ominous words? You must never do that in the future, for fear of demoralizing the army." Mang Mao apologized again and again.
While talking, the sun has risen. Mang Mao said: "It's late, why hasn't Duanzi arrived yet? I have to go to the school grounds when I'm young, I'm afraid I'll miss something."
Wei Qi said: "The Duanzi's residence is not far from the school grounds, so why not order someone to tell him to change his residence to the school grounds to avoid any setbacks."
Mang Mao said: "No. Duanzi's position is very different from that of ordinary people. Only by riding with me can you show your dignity."
While he was talking, Mang Chen came in with Mang Wei, saying that Duanzi was here, and he was in front of the door. Wei Qi said: "That's it, please come in."
Mang Mao said: "No, this is not the way to treat talents. We should just go out to welcome them."
Wei Qi said: "But Qi is ridiculous. What the general said is true. In this case, your father and son will stand together in the hall, and I will go out."
Mang Mao said: "No, how can the prime minister of a country be condescending and stand under Chaimen?"
Wei Qi said: "No, outside of the palace, the general is in charge. Qi Zheng has the power to act as best minister."
Mang Mao no longer refused, and said politely: "In this way, the Prime Minister condescends." Then he ordered: "Let's change clothes." Mang's father and son went back to their rooms to change clothes. Someone led Wei Qi to the study to change into loose court clothes. . After a while, everyone changed their clothes and took their places. In an instant, the ceremonial door opened, and Prime Minister Wei, dressed in court uniform, stood upright inside the door. Mang Mao and San Zi each had their own skins and were already armed, standing in front of the hall.
Wei Qi felt a little embarrassed when he saw Duan Ziqian standing in front of the door, not holding the goose in his hand, so he had to take the initiative to go out and go down the steps: "Mang, how virtuous is it? Fortunately, Duan Zi is here!"
Duan Ziqian was wearing a green shirt. When he saw that he was greeting Wei Qi, he also called himself "Mangshi". He was stunned for a moment, and then realized: this is the prestige of the Changmang family to support the Mangshi's status; it seems that the King of Wei is quite He valued the Mang family and made such an important minister a retainer of the Mang family. With this thought in mind, I followed the courtesy of meeting Mang: "The general calls, how can I not obey? - Unexpectedly, the prime minister is here!"
Wei Qi said: "Go up and talk to Haosheng. - I have heard of the virtues of Duanzi, but I have no chance to meet him. Now I have the king's order to see his face. How lucky is it."
Duan Ziqian said: "What kind of virtue can you do? You will be praised by the general, and you will be ashamed of yourself."
Wei Qi said: "Let's meet each other in the room." He led Duan Ziqian up the stairs and entered the court, and sang loudly: "Duan Zi, come in and see you~". The principal Mang Mao, who was standing in front of the hall, straightened his clothes and led his three sons out of the hall and down the steps. Wei Qi sang again: "Mang Shimao descended the steps to greet you~" Duan Ziqian hurried forward, Mang Mao was already bowing down at the foot of the steps: "Mang Shimao and his sons welcome Duanzi!" After bowing to each other three times, they distinguished the guest and host. Going up the stairs to the hall, Mang's three sons were waiting outside the hall as usual.
After presenting the wine, Mang Mao went straight to the topic: "Duanzi is well versed in military affairs. We are facing a powerful enemy. Maotian is in charge of military affairs. Fortunately, Duanzi can help us!"
Duan Ziqian said: "Who in my life dares to bother the general to ask questions? Only if he pledges his body to the country can he say his wish."
Mang Mao said: "Duanzi comes from Korea, so he must know the military affairs of the Koreans. May I ask how it is with Wei?"
Duan Ziqian didn't expect such a sharp question to be asked, and he was at a loss for words: "Han's military affairs should be prepared in detail, but it takes time and cannot be explained in one sentence."
Mang Mao said: "That's true. It's Mao who is reckless. Duanzi warned the king with many strategies and benefited the country. Now that Daliang is in danger, Duanzi must be able to teach me."
Duan Ziqian thought for a while and replied: "Qian heard that the country is strong when the country is strong, and the enemy country will not dare to invade when the country is strong. Therefore, the current strategy is not to defend against foreign countries, but to strengthen the country. Wei is a big country, and Wu Zi Fifty thousand warriors are all over the world. How can Xihe defeat the Qin army of half a million in one attack? The foundation is solid. Today, Qin Yuan's troops are exhausted, but they attack Beimang, break the South Pass, enter Qifeng, point to Daliang, and feel as if they have entered Wu. What is the human condition? We are weak."
When Mang Mao heard "attack Bei Mang", he looked a little embarrassed. Seeing that Duan Ziqian seemed to be going on in a long speech, he quickly stopped and said: "The Duan Ziqian is so good at talking about it, Mao Dun has made a lot of sense. The military situation is urgent and we need to do it soon." The school field is in charge of troops. If you dare to invite Duanzi to go with you, I will ask for advice sooner or later."
Duan Ziqian also breathed a sigh of relief and said politely: "Don't you dare not flatter me!"
Mang Mao then said: "Prepare the car! Sit down, you two, and come as soon as I leave." After saying this, he and Mang's three sons went to the backyard together.
Wei Qi and others all bowed their heads and did not raise their heads until the Mang family left. Wei Qi scolded: "I have often said 'Be careful' and 'Be careful', but you are not careful. You can say 'attack Beimang' casually? What's the point of Mang's face!"
Duan Ziqian seemed to have just remembered at this moment that Mang Mao was the protagonist in the recent battle of Beimang. His face suddenly turned pale and he was sweating profusely. He hurriedly said: "You can't use your words without hesitation to offend the nobles, but there is nothing you can do!"
Wei Qi said: "If you offend me well, you won't have to go out into battle, and your life will be saved!"
Duan Ziqian said anxiously: "I hope that the prime minister's kind words will come true, and I will grow knotted grass and hold a ring in return!"
Wei Qi said: "Is this accomplished by good words? Don't say anything. Just go with the car and pretend that you don't know that you have made a mistake!"
Duan Ziqian responded, wiped the sweat from his forehead, straightened his crown, and collected himself. Before his complexion fully recovered, Mang Hai went to the hall and said, "The flags of the carriage are ready. Please lift your toes."
Wei Qi and Duan Ziqian responded and went down to the hall together. They followed Mang Hai to the door. They saw five vehicles parked outside the door. In addition to three chariots, there were also a flag chariot and a drum chariot. Mang Mao was standing there. Under the chariot in the middle stands a bridle, with knots and axes stuck in it. On the left and right sides were flags, drums and carriages, with Mang's two sons leading the way.
Mang Hai led the two of them to Mang Mao's carriage, and Mang Mao saluted and said, "Your Excellency, please board the carriage."
Wei Qi and Duan Ziqian said in unison: "How dare you cross the line?"
Mang Mao said: "The previous kings had a way of respecting the virtuous, but Kuang Mao and others."
Duan Ziqian said: "I was born as a pawn under the tent, serving day and night. My life's wish has been fulfilled, how can I dare to look forward to this!"
Mang Mao said: "How can I respect the virtuous if I am a small soldier in the tent?"
Wei Qi said: "The general is the leader of the outside world and cannot be restrained. He is on the left side of the car, and Duanzi is on the right side of the car. Qi is willing to hold the whip and hope that there will be no refusal."
After repeated objections, Mang Mao said: "Since the Prime Minister has the destiny of the country, we should follow it." He boarded the carriage first, Wei Qi followed, and Duan Ziqian was the last. Five people lined up in a row and slipped out of the inner door. Everyone inside closed their doors and only peeked out from the crack of the door. The prison door bowed deeply at the door. Five cars came out to the road and formed a formation, with the flag car in front, the handsome car next, the drum car behind, and the other two cars guarding the left and right, beating the drums and heading straight to the school ground.
