Lu Bo's food caravan brought about twenty or thirty people. In addition to the Lu brothers, Zheng Anping, and Ma San, Cao Bao and Uncle Tang selected ten people from the coachmen, and Mang Mao was selected from the young master who came with Daliang Wei. Together with Xu Bo'an, his disciple Mr. Guo and his clansman Guo Zhongjin accompanied them. In addition, they selected ten loyal and reliable people from among the military soldiers, and they all gathered in Mr. Zhongyue's courtyard. After eating, they all quietly left through the back door. Avoiding military envoys and sentinels, keep heading south.
In the city lord's palace, the other young masters who came with Daliang Wei were led into the lobby by Zhang Ye and met with Lord Xinling one by one. For those who were old acquaintances with Lord Xinling, Lord Xinling would exchange a few words with him; for those who were not familiar with Lord Xinling, after all, their fathers were in court, so they could exchange a few words with him. When the princes were seated, Lord Xinling said: "Wei Daliang came to the front of the army with the king's destiny and received thousands of stones. The hard work and meritorious deeds of all the gentlemen have made them the pillars of the country." He bowed down deeply. All the gentlemen saluted.
Lord Xinling said: "Lieutenant Daliang contracted an illness on the way, which is very dangerous, so he moved to another hospital for medical treatment. However, the army must not be short of food for a day, and we have to trouble all the gentlemen to urge him."
When the princes heard this, they were all dumbfounded and didn't know why. The oldest person sitting at the front stood up and asked, "May I ask what you want, sir?"
Lord Xinling said: "Everyone should know that a hundred thousand people will spend a thousand gold a day. Regardless of other things, if a person eats three liters a day, a hundred thousand people will get three thousand stones a day. Now we can only get a thousand stones, which is a meal for one hundred thousand people." . Therefore, it is necessary for all the kings to provide continuous support and not to cut it off."
The young master at the front said again: "May I ask, young master, how can I help you? Are you going back to Daliang?"
Lord Xinling said: "No. Daliang Wei came to the army with thousands of vehicles. However, the military situation was urgent and it was difficult for thousands of vehicles to make a sudden attack, so Jia Mi Qianshi thought it was urgent. After entering the army, he mobilized the army's chariots and went straight to the fields to transport Food, help the front of the army. Don't miss the two, and have both."
All the princes said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Lord Xinling said: "However, for those who are trapped, Captain Daliang is ill and has difficulty entering the city. I only hope that there are people who are close to Putian who can supervise the carriages entering the city in order to obey the king's orders."
A young master asked: "Since I am diligent in the king's orders, I must adhere to them with integrity. Why should I stay close to Putian?"
Lord Xinling said: "My lord, you think it is normal to collect grain, so why should Daliang Lieutenant come in person? This matter is extraordinary: it is the time of war, and who can enter the customs except a confidant; the farmland is not as good as his warehouse, it is the king's field." , in charge of the Shaofu, there is no way a mere talisman can handle it! Therefore, it should not be done by those who are not as close as Daliang Wei on a daily basis."
As soon as Mr. Xinling finished speaking, a young master stood up from his seat and said, "I am Wei Shicheng, a son of the Shaofu clan. You are familiar with the Putian Shou. I would like to ask for the order to supervise the carriage to transport grain."
Lord Xinling said: "How young is your youth?"
Wei Cheng said: "I have five out of ten."
Lord Xinling said: "Young Master has a generous will, which is the style of our Wei Dynasty! I am afraid that I will be underestimated by others because I am young. I hope someone who is mature will do good to him."
There was silence. Wei Cheng said: "I am here to deliver the order. The guardian of Pu Tian has received the order from the young master, and he has personally handled it for Lieutenant Daliang. How can he not obey!"
A young master in the seat said: "If Captain Daliang comes in person, the guardian of Putian will follow him. If it's someone else..."
Another young master in the seat said: "But if you ask for the king's orders, you can refuse people thousands of miles away."
Lord Xinling said: "The chief guard of the garden guards the garden and is alienated from the courtiers; he is an upright and upright person, and few people are close to him. This is why it is difficult. However, the national crisis is at the forefront, and I hope you will do whatever it takes! With a sincere son leading the way, I only hope that I will have an eldest son. Supplementary."
A young master sitting on the seat stood up and said: "I followed Lieutenant Daliang to the front of the army. I am willing to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service to bring glory to the Wei Dynasty. It is a common man's job to carry grain and grass, and a gentleman is ashamed of it!"
Lord Xinling said: "This matter is different from other times. A hundred thousand troops are drowned and left without a useful place, consuming thousands of gold every day. Without food, it is difficult to survive. Therefore, today's food is the key to military aircraft. But if there is enough food in front of the battle, Work together with those who destroy the enemy!"
Seeing that Lord Xinling had made a great contribution, the young master sitting at the front said: "I am a member of the Wei clan, and my horse teeth are too long. I am willing to serve as my deputy."
Lord Xinling said: "What will the young master say?"
Wei He said: "My father used to travel with Putian, and I was able to see his face. Fortunately, he never gave up and often learned from him."
Lord Xinling said: "Young master, how lucky you are to be like this? It is the time when you are making meritorious deeds. May I ask how young you are?"
Wei He said: "One in thirty."
Lord Xinling said: "The Master said that standing up at thirty is the right time. May I ask how to say this?"
Wei He said: "Words are unpredictable, they can only be understood with reason and moved with emotion."
Lord Xinling said: "I'm just about to ask you what's reasonable?"
Wei Hedao: "The army has no food and is in a desperate situation. It cannot be saved without rice from the field. This is the reason. As the prince's younger brother, the minister has been waiting for him for a long time and told him his personal feelings. This is love."
Lord Xinling said: "In this case, the second son will be the chief and deputy envoy. Lieutenant Pu Tian will be guarding the Great Wall. Who is close to him?"
A young master sitting on the seat straightened up and said, "I am a fierce descendant of the Wei clan, and I am a son of the Zhengpu Tianwei clan."
Lord Xinling said: "Does Captain Putian know about the young master before he comes to the battle?"
Wei Meng said: "When Lieutenant Daliang went out to battle, something happened in a hurry. No one outside the court knew about it, not even Lieutenant Putian."
Lord Xinling said: "Why should the young master follow Daliang Wei?"
Wei Meng said: "I learned from Daliang Wei, and I am not the only one who follows me. I am not the only one. Most of the princes here learned from Daliang Wei."
Lord Xinling said: "It turns out that we are all disciples of Daliang Wei. Since we sit together and study together, we are brothers. Now that Daliang Wei has something to do, it is appropriate for the disciples to serve. The two or three sons will go together!"
Wei Meng said: "I and the other three are all disciples of Liang Wei, and each of them chooses one or two to serve as assistants."
Lord Xinling said: "The fierce young master has a cheerful temperament and is very fast. He has the style of an ancient scholar. He is worthy of being the best groom! With the help of two or three sons, he will use two or three heavy chariots to enter the city first and take care of everything. I will follow the carriage. With hundreds of soldiers and hundreds of soldiers, we will enter the city at dusk."
Wei Cheng, Wei He, and Wei Meng accepted the promise, and each invited two of their friends to the banquet, divided them into three chariots, and each chose a charioteer and charioteer. Zhang Ye issued a festival talisman and ordered people to bring three heavy vehicles to the camp. Depart after dinner.
After the nine people left, there were only four or five young masters left at the table, with a somewhat disappointed look in their eyes. Lord Xinling said: "The country is facing a crisis, and it is the time for a strong man to make great achievements. But if you are willing to listen or not, there will be no end to the opportunity! Although Lieutenant Daliang is ill, he is alone and has nothing to do with you! I am willing to accompany you as a knight. , is it okay?"
During the banquet, all the young masters responded: "Promise!"
Zhang He also gave the remaining young masters a talisman and ordered them to be led to the camp, where each of them would choose a good horse.
The lobby was empty. Lord Xinling smiled at Zhang Noi and said, "What do you think, sir?"
Zhang Ye said: "Although you noble gentlemen are in all kinds of troubles, they can only take advantage of the situation to suppress others to make themselves stronger. If you go to the city to run food supplies, you will definitely succeed."
Lord Xinling said: "What I am worried about is that it will not change when I am young. I will make up my mind when I think about it when I am old."
Zhang He said: "No need. This group is just going to the city to collect food. Others will handle the trivial matters of delivering food and grass. This person is mature and everything will be worry-free."
Lord Xinling said: "Sir, you must have a good plan."
Zhang He said: "There is no other way, but to get people's ears. Nowadays, there are hundreds of carriages, which require a hundred soldiers, a hundred drivers, and two hundred servants. There are drivers, husbands, and ministers, but the leader of the soldiers has not been able to get them." If you have a low position, you will speak lightly; if you have a high position, your position will be low. This is why it is difficult."
Lord Xinling said: "Sir, you have thought too much. Today, all the soldiers in our camp will be filled with tens of thousands of soldiers. If there are hundreds of soldiers, they will be leaders and commanders. Why are there such low-ranking people?"
Zhang Noi said: "You must have someone to lead you, and then everything can be done."
Lord Xinling said: "Do you think it's okay for you to serve as a guard in Daliang Ying?"
