Mr. Jin said: "What Mr. Wei said is true. Mang Mansion is responsible for the ancestral temple of our family, so how can we lose a big thing because of a small thing. I, the ministers, obey the order of Lord Xin Ling, and I will make sure that everything goes well for Young Master Liang Wei."
Zhongzhong Shou said: "Since all the princes have come from Xinlingjun's camp, they should follow the original plan and maintain their own military affairs. It is not appropriate to create other branches. General Mang is responsible for the safety of his family and country, and Xinlingjun's son is famous all over the world and holds a heavy army. None of this is right. A mere corner can match it. Young Master Liang Wei has all the help from the princes of Wei Young Master's house, so he has nothing to lose. The village is too small, and the food and fodder are not good enough. He has to go to Nanguan, which is only a few dozen miles away, and he can arrive overnight. The general has orders. , and it won't be a waste of time; if Lord Yin goes to camp, he will be less responsible for arranging the army and preparing for war. Isn't this not convenient?"
The three parties said that none of the Mang family was allowed to interfere in this matter. The three Mang families also felt very powerless: not to mention that there was no military order. Even if there was a military order in hand, it would be difficult to enforce it if all three parties objected. The three people from the Mang family exchanged glances with each other and decided to compromise. Mang Shen said: "Now that everyone has made a decision, I don't dare to disagree. I hope you, sir, will put your family and country first and do your best."
Before Mr. Jin could speak, the confinement guard said first: "Mr. Xinling is also the son of Wei, and he is affiliated with the ancestral temple. How can he not put family and country first! How can he not be as important as Mang's family?"
Mang Shen hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Young man made a mistake and said nonsense, please forgive me!"
The guard immediately changed his smile and said: "Young general, please don't overthink it. Lord Xinling's benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled in the world. There are many wise men and capable people in his sect, and Lieutenant Liang is in the camp. I entrust Lord Lieutenant Liang to Lord Xinling. Things must be in harmony!...But where is Mr. Yin now?..."
Mang Shen said: "I will go back to the city and report to the general to punish him."
The guard in the confinement said: "No, no. Both the minister and the captain are incompetent. They live in the confinement, but they are ready to sweep the ears. The enemy is in front of them, and it is really not their responsibility. Therefore, looking to the eldest son is like a son looking to his mother. .”
Mang Shen cursed in his heart, feeling so shameless. But he said: "How dare you do this? My father always told us to treat the king and the captain like our father. So I dare to speak boldly."
Mr. Jin said: "Before leaving, the emperor told us that we should stay in the confinement and wait for Mr. Liang Wei. I know there will be many twists and turns. How could I expect that once we get to the confinement, the young master is still alive and the army is complete? Isn't it heaven? Wait for Liang Wei. The army is complete and will surely become a powerful force. As soon as the general orders it, it will attack the people of Qin. If you have made great achievements, why should you fall behind others?"
Mang Shen and others saw that the three parties were joining hands and blocking the road. It was really difficult for him to intervene, so he had to give up. The six people discussed it, and Mang Shen and three others drove the car back to the country. The remaining three people stayed in the camp to prepare for military affairs. They would break camp and go straight to Nanguan tomorrow. But here comes the question. Mang Shen and Mr. Che You are definitely going back to Daliang. Is the other person everyone thinks is Xiao Jian? But Chen Si, who had been silent all this time, insisted that he was ordered to guard Mr. Che You and should return to Daliang to pay the order to the Yimen Guards. He was not his envoy to stay in Zhongzhong, so he must go back. When Chen Si made a fuss, Mang Mansion followed suit, and Mr. Jin couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he decided to stay in Xiao Jian. This is a win-win situation for both parties: after all, Mang Mansion has placed an informant in Yanzhong, and Liang Wei and Xinling Jun get a big help from someone who is familiar with business affairs. After Xiao Jian left Mang Mao, he picked up the key points of everything in the military camp outside the city and told Mang Shen. Although Mang Shen had experienced most of these things, Xiao Jian drastically deleted the branches, extracted the trunk, and concisely formed a complete picture. Even Mr. Jin and Mr. Cao were impressed by the time spent and said they had benefited a lot. Yan Zhongshou and Wei changed to Yan Jingzhi. As soon as the business was completed, when the three of them set off, it was already mid-afternoon.
Accompanied by everyone, Mang Shen and the other three returned to the post house, still preparing the carriages and horses from Lord Xinling's mansion, and agreed to return them to Mr. Wei's mansion after entering the city. The three of them got into the car, with the gentleman on the right as the driver. They started the car smoothly and headed straight towards the beam. The rest of the people looked at the five carriages and twenty horses in the courtyard, and they all said: "One person can ride one, and each can drive back to the camp." So the accompanying guards started to prepare the remaining five leather carriages quickly, and each boarded the carriage. Set off. When he came to the banquet, Mr. Liang Wei only brought ten guards. Now he ordered them to walk back to the camp on their own without following the convoy.
When Mr. Liang Wei and his entourage completely left, the guards and lieutenants of Xizhong, who were standing in front of the post house with their heads raised, finally relaxed. They both let out a sigh of relief and said, "We are finally leaving!" Each took their own money with them. The guards have returned home.
After driving out of the village, with only Chen Si beside him, Mr. Cheyou started talking to Mang Shen: "The combination of Lord Xinling and Wei Daliang is unstoppable."
Mang Shen looked straight ahead and said softly "hey".
Mr. Cheyou said: "Where is the eldest son now?"
Mang Shen still looked ahead and replied: "We broke up at Chengbei Station and there has been no news since."
Mr. Cheyou said: "Before the city was banned in Daliang, Chen Liu sent several carts of grain to the house. He wanted to do what the eldest son did. The general called him Neng."
Mang Shen said: "Chen Liu? Eldest brother is taking him into custody?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "No, it's because I heard that Chenliu Sishi Cai did it."
Mang Shen said: "That's not what I heard. Since my father said that my eldest brother is capable, he must take charge of his affairs. Is he in Chenliu?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "Mr. Hu Zhong assisted me, how wrong it is to be like this!"
The two sighed for a moment and changed the topic. Mr. Cheyou said: "Master Liang Wei led the soldiers to Nanguan to trust Lord Ling. What is his intention?"
Mang Shen didn't reply, but said softly "hey" again.
Mr. Che You answered himself: "Mr. Xinling's intention is to open the seal? Should Young Master Liang Wei join the seal?"
Mang Shen said: "This sheep has entered the tiger's mouth, and it is not its own land."
Mr. Cheyou thought to himself again: "The intention is Huayang?"
Mang Shen said: "When Mr. Liang Wei arrives, Huayang will have already gone down. That's not true."
Mr. Cheyou said: "Young Master, I have a good opinion. But where will Mr. Xinling live as Mr. Liang Wei?"
Mang Shen said: "I think Mr. Xinling should place Mr. Liang Wei in the center of the camp."
Mr. Cheyou was surprised and said: "Why? Lord Xinling doesn't have a middle camp yet?"
Mang Shen said: "Mr. They live outside the camp and mingle with the civilian army. The people led by Mr. Liang Wei are all privately recruited soldiers. They were not under the command in the past and have never been close to each other. If Lord Xinling treats him with kindness and kindness, he will be grateful and use him for his use. To establish The middle camp must be there."
Mr. Che You said: "Everyone from the two schools has set up a middle camp. What can the rest do?"
Mang Shen said: "If someone is the Lord of Xinling, he will choose five hundred loyal soldiers and lead them with his followers as the backbone; use five hundred people who are good at shooting and kill them with all arrows as the vanguard; use five hundred quick-footed soldiers. The soldiers, led by the commander of the army, are considered to be in charge of the formation; the five hundred strong soldiers, led by the commander of the army, are considered the palace army. The remaining three hundred people are scattered into the civilian army in the central camp, which is regarded as the backbone. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the central camp. This person is the one whom Lord Xinling relies on to confine his troops, attack cities and strongholds, and charge into formations."
Mr. Cheyou said: "How can Master know what Lord Xinling wants?"
Mang Shen said: "Fortunately, I am able to serve him by his side, so I know him well."
Mr. Cheyou said: "Who could have reached this point unless you had the will of the young master? With three hundred disciples as a palace, three thousand soldiers as a city, and five thousand civilian troops as a pond, the power is unshakable!"
At this time, Mr. Cheyou felt sensitively that the body of Chen Si next to him trembled. He turned to look at Chen Si and said, "Why is it different?"
Chen Sidao: "Without him, I would be blinded by the wind and sand!"
Mr. Cheyou became suspicious, but because of Hou Ying, he was worried that he would be suspicious, so he thought about leaving it to Hou Ying to handle. He turned his head and continued talking to Mang Shen: "Now that the young master has gained access to Lord Xinling, what is his plan?"
Mang Shen said: "Mr. Xinling is plotting against the curtains. Only sir knows about it. How can I know about it?"
Mr. Cheyou told what he knew and said: "Three strategies have been discussed: first, use the best to seize the opportunity to enter Qifeng and respond with a large army; among them, seize Huayang's grain and forts and cities, and wait for the king of Han outside. Han Yuan; his subordinates, the former occupied Nanguan, were invincible at first, and then waited for Qin. Although Qin attacked Qifeng with a strange plan and penetrated deeply into his heart, but the food was not prepared, and he only had one meal a day, and he could not be full. It was not without gaps. . The Jin officials advocated the implementation of both middle and lower strategies and divided their troops to occupy Huayang and Nanguan."
Mang Shen said: "Who controls Nanguan and who guards Huayang?"
Mr. Cheyou said: "We haven't figured out a plan yet. But the plan of the Jin officials is to include Lord Xinling and surround it with the rest of the army."
Mang Shen said: "It means that Lord Xinling must have imperial guards and come back." Mr. Che You was stunned and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Mang Shen said: "Since Lord Xinling is suspicious, he is surrounded by a large army of Jin officials, but it is disadvantageous. Why should he respond?"
Mr. Che You said: "Jun Xinling is a general; Jin Bi is a doctor. Why should we be afraid?"
Mang Shen said: "You don't doubt the Jin officials, you really doubt me, the Mang family. As soon as Lord Xinling left the city, he encountered assassins; and again, and three times; either outside the city, or in the camp, and there was no one in the wild. The Mang family was the first to take the responsibility. It's doubtful. The doctor of Jin is also inferior."
Mr. Che You said: "The master of the house has never mentioned it, how could the young master know about it?"
Mang Shen said: "If you don't get close to him, who can know it! Lord Xinling shows his loyalty on the outside, and anyone who gets close to him will be treated with kindness. On the inside, he is suspicious of those who are close to him. However, looking at his behavior, he is more loyal than he looks on the outside. But those who are taboo inside, Banban can be tested. Sir, in his opinion, what the boy says should and should not."
Mr. Cheyou said: "Young Master has great views, so he is not a mortal man. Since Mr. Xinling doubts the general and also doubts the doctor, how can he use a large army to deal with it?"
Mang Shen said: "This is why he is Lord Xinling. Surrounded by tigers and wolves, arrows are imminent and do not change his color, he is a real man. Sir, what he thinks of is that if the people and the army are hungry and tired, if they are not able to control the situation, they will have a backlash." ; Military soldiers are also imperial guards. Since they rarely come and go, they don’t know their confidants. It will be difficult to control them personally. The Mang family has been in the court for a long time, and the Jin family and the Wei family have experienced military battles for a long time, and Wei Lai is the Qiancheng. Now everything is used Entrust him to show his closeness to him in order to make good friends with him; he avoids danger on the inside and lives in a safe place. If there is no other change, who can plan for it!"
Mr. Che You said: "Young master, if you say it again and again, there must be a source."
Mang Shen smiled slightly and said: "But there is no origin of what you are thinking, so I am lying, sir. Just smile!"
Mr. Che You was driving and did not dare to turn his head too much to look at Mang Shen, but he took the time to glance at him several times. I originally thought that with Chen Si being around to get in the way, I would change to a less sensitive topic, but I didn't want to go around in circles, so I came back to this topic. Someone wants to harm Lord Xinling. This is a serious matter for the Wei State. Anyone who encounters it should try to avoid it. But Mang Shen is good at not trying to catch the wind, but actually speaks out frankly, without any secrets, and even tells it in front of an outsider. Four, what a young man.
