Seeing that Hou Ying spoke so solemnly, Chen Si recalled it carefully, and then said: "Shou and Wei live in the east, and we live in three rows in the west. I am at the end, under the door."
Hou Ying said: "This is not a planning meeting, just a conversation between the guests and the host." Then he raised his hand slightly, signaling Chen Si to continue.
From his previous experience, Chen Si knew that Hou Ying's favorite method was to tell every detail from beginning to end, so he said from the beginning: "After taking a seat, the guest and host will greet each other for three rounds. To keep the official words, Mr. Liang Wei passed the order, and Wu Thousands of soldiers were stationed in the city, and the eldest son, Mang, was in charge of his army. But the eldest son has not arrived yet and does not know what to do. Please teach me." At this point, Chen Si stopped and looked at Hou Ying, who saw Hou Ying's expression He looked attentive and confident, and continued: "The young general didn't seem to know what was going on, so he asked Mr. Che to take charge of the matter. The gentleman then left the table and said, "The general's strategy is to personally supervise an army to defend the city. The eldest son will do it himself." Supervise an army outside. Young Master Liang Wei was born as a general, but he personally led thousands of soldiers to resist first, and the eldest son assisted him with civilian troops. The eldest son and Liang Wei left the city on the same day, but they have not arrived yet. I don’t know where they are stationed. . The major general said that he and his brother left the city in the same boat with Lieutenant Daliang, said goodbye to each other and went to the camp. "
After hearing this, Hou Ying said: "It's true that Lieutenant Daliang went out of the city. But he pretended to be a merchant and gave both sides to the rat. It was not the husband's doing."
Chen Sidao: "Why did father say this?"
Hou Ying said: "Wei Daliang and Mr. Che had the same plan. They used the name of a merchant to leave the city in a grain boat to avoid people's eyes and ears. Mr. Che went to Qifeng in the dark and pretended to be a merchant. He was actually leading the army under the king's order. In fact, it was thundering, surrounded by wind and rain, to stir up people's hearts and new ears and eyes. It was also like the name of a merchant, zigzagging away in a small boat. Before the people arrived, the prestige was gone, how to meet the enemy? Outside Governor Mangdazi's city, despite his name He is a partial commander, but he is actually a handsome man. He is also a fake merchant and lives in a small boat. He has great power and prestige, so how can he win. Moreover, the vanguard has arrived, but the main general is not there. If we don't fight, we will be defeated."
Chen Si said in panic: "Wei will definitely lose this battle?"
Hou Ying said: "Nine defeats and one victory. The opportunity lies with Lord Xinling! - This is beyond your knowledge, but you can tell me the rest."
Everyone had to suppress their curiosity and wait for Chen Si to continue. Chen Sidao: "Major General Mang said that the eldest son is very decisive when he goes out to the battle, so there may be something unexpected happening to the eldest son while he is on guard. ... However, Mr. Mang asserts that with Mr. Hu accompanying the guards, the eldest son will be fine."
Everyone couldn't help but ask: "Who is Mr. Tiger, who can deserve this honor?"
Chen Sinan said: "Mr. Danyan Hu is both wise and brave, but I don't know."
Hou Ying said: "Mr. Tiger is also a companion of Mr. Che. Mr. Che is feminine and flexible, while Mr. Tiger is brave and fierce. Each is good at his own specialty. They are both in Mang Mansion."
One person said: "Mr. Che has come out to unblock the seal, and Mr. Tiger has followed the eldest son of the Wei. Doesn't the general have anyone around him?"
Hou Ying said: "Although the Mang Mansion's disciples are not as many as Lord Xinling, there are still dozens of them. Although they are not as good as Che and Hu, they are still outstanding. The fourth brother, Mr. Shiyan Xiao, is also a bold and careful person. As for Ruoru. You, the people, have enough capacity in the car!" The last sentence caused everyone to burst into laughter. When the laughter subsided, Chen Sidao said: "Stay here, push back Mr. Che, and ask Mr. Jin, the disciple of Mr. Xinling, to teach you."
Someone in the audience asked again: "Who is Mr. Jin?"
Hou Ying shouted: "Hey! Who can judge a stallion under the sect of Lord Xinling! But when you come out of the sect of the young master, you can know what he is capable of!" Signing Chen Si to ignore it, Chen Si said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Mr. Liang Wei went out to battle at a young age. How did you feel? Uneasy, he sent Mr. Jin and Mr. Cao to serve in front of the young master. The elder of Liang Wei's family thanked him and said: "Although my young master is young, it is fortunate that he died in the country!" Order. Now that the eldest son has not arrived and the army has no general, what does the young master want to do? Mr. Liang Wei said angrily that our army is not in order, the baggage is not prepared, and the weapons are not in place. It must be in order and in order to kill the enemy and achieve meritorious service. Mr. Jin Then he said, why don't you go and trust Lord Ling, so that you can organize the army and serve your father at the same time!" Hearing this, everyone in the audience cheered and said, "It's really the best of both worlds, Mr. He Jin can come up with such a good plan!"
Hou Ying looked at the excited young man with a cold face and said, "You are ignorant, you kid!"
Hou Ying's rebuke immediately made everyone around him feel cold. After a long time, someone whispered: "Why do you say this?"
Hou Ying said: "Young Master Liang is under General Mang's account, and is under the control of Mang. Mr. Jin takes advantage of his weakness and lures him with benefits, hoping to seize his army and surrender to Lord Ling. Although his plan is better, he is not a robe." This is the way to share the same dissatisfaction."
Chen Sidao: "No. Liang Wei's family said that the general ordered him to leave the city, but did not order troops. He asked him to recruit himself. They were all scattered and had no baggage, but they had equipment with them. The flags were not prepared, and the bells and drums were not in order. It is not a heavy addition. Reorganization cannot be used for war. It is impossible to organize the army in a small town. Therefore, following Lord Xinling is a good strategy and not for personal gain."
Hou Ying slapped Chen Si on the head and said: "You have some insight, too! The so-called public and private matters are not about good or evil, but about taking advantage of the situation and making the upper and lower parties harmonious. People like Mr. Jin can be said to be good at planning."
Chen Sidao: "Mr. Che also said that Mr. Liang Wei is now under the general's tent. He can't get the general's order, so how can he go?"
Hou Ying said: "Although it is reasonable, but it is not convenient, even though it should be done, it cannot be done."
Chen Sidao: "Yes. The confinement guards the Tao. During the war, there were tens of thousands of civilian troops outside the city, all of whom prepared their own provisions. The young master's soldiers had thousands of soldiers, and they had no food for a day. It was really beyond the confinement's ability to support them. Sir, I must After entering the city and asking for the general's order, Mr. Liang Wei said angrily: "In the past, when I was in distress, I sent many envoys to report to the general, but the general said nothing. As soon as Mr. He entered, the general's order was bound to come out! In the past, I received the general's order and returned it to the eldest son. Where is the eldest son?' The two of them were confronting each other, but they couldn't agree on each other's words. In the confinement, Young Master Liang Wei surrendered to Lord Ling, so he had the convenience of both worlds, which was beneficial to the country, so how could he take the general's orders seriously? The Mang Mansion had no choice but to respond. "
Hou Ying said: "This is no accident. Mr. Jin is planning for Lord Xinling, and he certainly doesn't want the Mang Mansion to interfere with it. Why leave Mr. Xiao in the camp?"
Chen Sidao: "According to the discussion at the table, Mr. Mang, Che and Xiao will enter Daliang in one car, and the remaining five will return to Liang Wei's camp. I will not stay in Xinzhong and will return to Daliang. The elders have no choice but to keep Mr. Xiao. And return to the rest.”
After hearing what Chen Si said, Hou Ying laughed heartily and said, "I didn't expect that I could do this!"
Everyone still looked puzzled and asked: "Fourth brother ignored the military opportunity and insisted on returning to the country. Isn't it foolish! What father praises me?"
Hou Ying said: "Fourth brother can help you clear up your doubts."
Chen Siqian said: "How can this kid do it by chance? He really doesn't know the secret."
Hou Ying gave him a meaningful look and explained, "Who do you think Mang Mansion and Gongzi Mansion are fighting over?"
One person replied: "There are thousands of soldiers in Liang Wei's mansion. But these soldiers are short of food and can't do anything."
Hou Ying said: "What you said is true. There are thousands of soldiers, and the two governments are fighting for it. The only things they can borrow are grain, weapons, and good generals. How can Mang Mansion have these three? Kuang Liang Wei Gongzi, Daliang Wei's only son. Liang Wei's son went to Daliang Wei, which is a human emotion. Due to emotion and reason, Liang Wei's son and his soldiers must trust Lingjun, and Mang's family cannot restrain him. As soon as Mr. Xiao left, The Mang Mansion immediately got a ring from Wu's attack, and it was put in order overnight, so Mang's family can take care of it. The strategy of the fourth brother is truly lofty and far-reaching!"
One of the people sitting there said dissatisfiedly: "In this case, the fourth brother is helping Mang Mansion and helping you to ascend the throne?"
Hou Ying said: "He helps the Mang Mansion openly and the young master secretly. Why do you say that? The Mang Mansion and the young master are incompatible with each other, but they are in constant contact and rely on each other. They benefit the country at the top and the common people at the bottom. They win the king's heart. It is indeed a blessing for the Wei family's ancestral temple. If there is no Mr. Xiao to take care of it, and the military soldiers return to the young master, the Mang Mansion will no longer have anything to rely on. It will have to build defenses in many ways and use various strategies to deal with it. Qin Fan is the next best."
One person was dissatisfied and said: "What my father said is so unclear. Everyone knows that when brothers fight, outsiders benefit. How can any general benefit from fighting with Lord Xinling?"
Hou Ying said: "Brothers are at odds, and they rely on parents, sister-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along with each other so that they can live together under the same roof. If parents are not close, and sisters-in-law and daughter-in-law are also enemies, can brothers live together? Mr. Xiao is responsible for the harmony of the two families, so What the fourth brother did was very worthy."
Seeing that everyone still looked confused, Hou Ying said: "Fourth brother said to himself, why did he leave his flute room in the confinement?"
Chen Sidao said: "I have seen that Mr. Liang Wei, the governor of Xizhong, and your superiors and subordinates are of one mind and are determined to return to you. However, the people under Mangfu are very strong in resisting. So I thought that Mr. Xiao might be able to change the situation if I left Mr. Xiao to live there. If there is only one boy, who will be appointed as the liaison officer of Mang Mansion? Then there will be no communication inside and outside the city!"
Hou Ying said: "That's right! But it's not him who asks for a straight heart."
One of the people asked again: "How can we communicate internally and externally?"
Hou Ying laughed and scolded: "It's so stupid! If we don't communicate with each other inside and outside, how can we work together to help each other? Only Lord Xinling can do it?"
The man shrank his head and became silent.
Hou Ying brought the topic back and asked Chen Sidao: "What did Mr. Liang Wei say?"
Chen Si thought for a while and said: "Young Master Liang Wei is very angry and reprimands you, but the matter will be decided by Mr. Wei."
Hou Ying said: "Is Mr. Wei also at the table?"
Chen Sidao: "Of course. Mr. Wei sits under Young Master Liang Wei. The Young Master obeys his words and does not dare to go against him."
Hou Ying said: "The guard in Xizhong has been attached to the Wei Mansion for a long time, not just today."
Chen Sidao: "Lieutenant Yan is taciturn and doesn't know his heart."
Hou Ying said: "If you don't get what you want, how can the confinement guard dare to do it on his own?"
Chen Sidao: "After dinner, the three of us will drive a chariot and drive straight to Daliang. The remaining three sons will follow Mr. Liang Wei, and the remaining five chariots will return to the camp."
Hou Ying said: "Young Master Liang Wei has received the help of his three sons and the money for his carriage, and he will definitely get another gift from the confinement. He is regarded as a powerful force and cannot be copied!"
One of the people sitting there said dissatisfiedly: "But even my father doesn't think so of Lord Chang Xinling's majesty."
Hou Ying slapped him over again and said: "You kid, what do you know! How dare you rely on your own preferences when it comes to military matters. Today, many Lords of Xinling are fulfilling their ambitions, but General Mang is uncertain both internally and externally. This is not a blessing to the country. Therefore. I am worried that Lord Xinling will succeed."
The man was dissatisfied and said: "The general's lack of ambition is what Wei has lost; Lord Xinling's lack of ambition is what Wei has lost. But if Wei loses its general, will it also be lost to Lord Xinling?"
Hou Ying was stunned for a moment, his face turned serious, he pondered for a long time, and he knelt down and bowed: "That's what you said. It's just as you said. How could the general do anything?"
