Zhang Yu didn't expect that he just made a suggestion, and the generals seemed to be booing and wanted to send troops by themselves. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
Jin Bi knew that Zhang Nou was just talking fast and didn't understand the unspoken rules: whoever comes up with ideas sends troops. Then he opened his mouth to resolve the matter and said: "The affairs of the rear army are under the control of the general and governor. Sir, you can advise the general and he will definitely succeed."
Zhang Noi said very aggrievedly: "Here!"
Jin Bi drew the plan with his finger and said: "Each army set up its camp and chose a dangerous place with deep trenches and high forts, thinking that it was invincible. The soldiers were in the enemy's arms, but if there is a place where they are attacked, other armies should come together to help. There should be no delay. I I have reported the Qin invasion to the King of Wei, and asked the general to send troops from Daliang to attack the side of Qifeng. When fighting the Qin people, you must not be inferior to others, and all military affairs must be meticulous to repay the country's favor!"
Everyone here said: "Here!"
Since when Jin Bi set up camp, he arranged the positions of the armies according to the posture of defense against Qifeng, so in the subsequent detailed discussion, everyone did not have any big problems. It was just digging trenches and building forts around the camp. The main long-range The attack was naturally undertaken by the soldiers, while the civilian army was only responsible for attacking the enemy troops that attacked the city sporadically. Then they shouted in unison to build momentum. The meeting ended soon, and the generals returned to camp to arrange defense. Since the front army was the first to bear the brunt and was very important, Jin Bi accompanied the front army general to the front army to make detailed arrangements for defense.
When Zhang He and others took the car back to Huayang City, Lord Xinling had not returned yet. Several gentlemen came over and asked about the situation. On the way, Zhang He and others had arranged for soldiers to go to each camp of the civilian army to inform the officers above the battalion division to come to Huayang City to discuss matters. After returning to the city, he sent a retainer to the Chinese army's reinforcement camp to tell him, "The doctor has an order. Please Lord Xinling, please return soon."
After a while, all the camp commanders and school lieutenants of the civilian army arrived. After Zhang Ye gave the instructions to dig ditches and build forts, each of them drank a cup of sake and ordered them to return to camp.
Officers above the rank of military battalion division were actually served by military soldiers, with village elders serving as their deputy, mainly responsible for liaising with each township; uncles were actually the elders of each town, and the head of the shiwu chief was usually the head of each family. As for one soldier and one tithe The actual number of people in Wu varies from family to family; there may not necessarily be a superior-subordinate relationship between Wu. The true combat effectiveness of the civilian army is actually a muddled account.
Among the Houjunwu soldiers, only the middle battalion is stable, the other two battalions are being reorganized, and it is said that they may be promoted to school level; the specific command depends on the big bosses such as Xinling Jun and Daliang Wei, with Zhang Noi and Si Mang's qualifications meant that he could not take command, so he did not call them over. They just sent military envoys to inform the Qin people that they were invading. Jin Bi's doctor ordered deep ditches and high fortresses to be invulnerable. The soldiers naturally knew that the hard work of digging trenches and building fortifications was not their turn. That was what the civilian soldiers did. They were just defending based on the situation. However, the soldiers who had just arrived in the camp actually only had their own weapons. Some of them didn't even bring out their crossbows, and there were only a few arrows left. Even after receiving the order, I couldn't carry it out, I just obeyed. Zhang Zuo knew this situation, but he had no authority to open an arsenal and distribute weapons; he had no authority to open a granary to feed his soldiers. Everything must wait until Lord Xinling comes back.
As for the civilian army, the tool they used to dig ditches and build forts was naturally not a shovel. At that time, it was just a thicker stick. When doing farm work at home, they might also tie a bone or stone chip to it. Now they have to keep everything simple. If there is a ditch next to the camp, you can directly use the ditch to wet the land, which can save some energy; if there is no ditch nearby, you have to divide half of the people, each holding a container, to fill the ground with water, and then dig it after it becomes soft. It takes a lot of effort.
Zhang He and others were very worried, and no one wanted to stay in the house. Except for a few people who were left on duty, the rest went to the city and looked into the distance. The dust is getting thicker, but the figures appearing in the dust indicate that each battalion is already executing the order to dig trenches. This scene may provide some comfort for the anxious mood.
Lord Xinling insisted on having dinner with the reinforcements before setting off back to the city. He had already received the report from Mr. Zhong Yue, and he also knew the order from Dr. Jin Bi, and told it to Wei Daliang. Wei Daliang just laughed it off, and Lord Xinling was inconvenient to urge him. He simply had the same calm attitude as Wei Daliang, as if There is no such thing as the Qin army.
The soldiers sent by the Chinese army are their elite, and they naturally have to undertake important tasks during war. However, no matter how important the task is, it is not as important as accepting Lord Xinling's labor force. Jin Bi also knows this, so he does not send anyone to spoil the fun. , simply ordered the labor army to finish and return to camp overnight. Therefore, although this unit accepted the labor force, it was actually harder than others: they would not be able to have a good rest for two consecutive nights. There were gains and losses, and they had a full meal: the captain ordered all the food from the labor army to be fed to the soldiers, including Lord Xinling and his party. The campground is filled with a happy atmosphere and the sweet smell of corn. They didn't start to break camp until Lord Xinling and others were sent away.
Lord Xinling was in a conflicted mood. On the one hand, he was excited about his hard-working military experience; on the other hand, he was also worried about the upcoming war. He wanted to ask Lieutenant Daliang what he should do next, but Lieutenant Daliang seemed to be very tired after running all day. He closed his eyes and took a nap while standing in the car. Lord Xinling wanted to drive alongside him and have a few words with him, but seeing him like this, It’s not easy to make requests either.
Back in the city, Zhang Yue and others followed, and Lieutenant Daliang said goodbye: "I am in no condition, and my body is weak and difficult to support. The reorganization of the left camp and tomorrow's war are entirely due to the young master." He went back grandly. There are many retainers in the Wei Mansion accompanying the camp. Except for Liang Wei's retainers to assist Mr. Liang Wei, everyone else in Daliang Wei stayed in the city to take care of his life. He did not occupy another camp commander's residence, but asked for a whole row of barracks in the deepest part of the military camp, where his retainers and accompanying Wei princes lived.
Lord Xinling led everyone back to his home, but only those who stayed behind in Huayang City had not eaten yet. So they took advantage of Lord Xinling and the gentlemen to express their condolences and went back indoors to eat some snacks. After all the gentlemen had dispersed and only a dozen or so core people were left, these left-behind people came out one by one. The words of condolences that Lord Xinling said to hundreds of people were still repeated to these people very seriously. The gentlemen who stayed behind reported the situation they knew to Lord Xinling, and then left one after another, leaving only Zhang Noi. This is Lord Xinling's highest staff team.
It was getting dark, and they did not enter the hall, but sat on the ground in the court. Zhang Noi introduced in detail the situation of attending the military meeting of Jin Bi doctors and praised Si Mang's assistance. Lord Xinling said, "We can invite Si Mang to discuss the matter tonight." A guest stood up and went out to invite Si Mang.
Lord Xinling paid his respects to Zhang Jue again and said, "I've been busy with my affairs these days, but I'm thankful to you that I've been able to keep busy. Now that everything has been completed, I'd like to listen to your teachings."
Zhang Noi bowed back and said, "There are many things to do in the coming days. What is urgent is the matter of guarding Qin. I would like to explain it to you."
All the gentlemen here are with Lord Xinling in the camp during the day and do not know the situation in the city. Seeing Zhang Yue talking about this, everyone became more interested. Lord Xinling said, "I would like to hear the details."
Zhang He said: "Not long after the emperor came out, the night spies sent by Mr. Guo reported that the people who attacked the right camp at night were not from Qin, but actually from Korea."
As soon as Zhang Zuo said this, it was no surprise that there was a sound of surprise among everyone. Everyone looked at Mr. Guo, as if expecting him to give an explanation. Mr. Guo gave a very embarrassed smile and said, "I don't know, but I would like to ask."
Lord Xinling was still able to keep his voice calm, stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly, then said to Zhang Noi: "How do you know this?"
Zhang He said: "I sneaked behind it at night and saw it going straight into the state of Zheng. So I know it!"
Mr. Jin said: "Zheng Guo was only thirty or forty miles away from Huayang. He arrived in secret and returned suddenly. It's true."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "I was very confused when I saw the situation of the attack on the right camp. Now that I heard Mr. Zhang's words, I realized the reason."
Lord Xinling said: "Sir, why are you confused?"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "When the Qin people fight, their heads must be the meritorious service. At night, the right camp was attacked, and everyone was in chaos. This was the time to behead people for meritorious service, but no one was killed or injured, and the camp was only destroyed. Qin Is this what people would rather do? Now we know that it was the Koreans who did it, it is inevitable."
Lord Xinling said: "Han, my ally, suddenly attacked me, what do you want?"
Everyone fell silent for a moment. Zhang He said: "I have been thinking a lot these days and I can't figure it out. Would you rather repay Huayang?"
Mr. Guo said: "If you want to retaliate against Huayang, you should make it clear, blame him for his mistakes, and apply for a crusade. Now I am pretending to use Qin people to sneak in and come out suddenly. If I don't have the intention, it is difficult to know the truth." Fake. There must be no such intention!”
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Did those thieves take the name of Qin people? We are fighting with Qin. If we are attacked, we will definitely return to Qin!"
The gentlemen suddenly said: "Mr. Wei, none of us noticed it."
Zhang He said: "I have accepted secular duties and have not been admitted to the camp. Do you dare to ask about the situation in the camp?"
Mr. Zhongyue was waiting for an answer when a message was announced outside the door: "Simang Zhongying has been ordered to see you."
Lord Xinling said: "Please!"
All the gentlemen said together: "Please!" and stood up together.
Si Mang and the guest turned around behind the screen wall. Si Mang bowed to him and said, "I am here on orders, but I don't know what your Majesty calls you!"
Lord Xinling said: "I only heard about the military report. I am busy with affairs, so I don't know the details. I have a free night tonight. I would like to ask you for advice. Please take your seat."
Si Mang said: "Your Majesty is sitting in a high seat with all the gentlemen to have a chat. I am a soldier, how can I dare to obey you?"
Zhang He said: "I heard that Si is a descendant of the Wei family, and we are all ministers. How can we abandon each other?"
Lord Xinling asked, "Is this the Wei family?"
Simang said: "A remote commoner branch has little talent and little virtue. It is an insult to our ancestors and is very unworthy."
Lord Xinling said: "I am alone and have lost my virtue. I have no relatives or friends. I hope Si Jin will join us at the banquet." He came over in person and led him to the front of the steps hand in hand. Naturally, there were no seats in front of the steps, but the two of them sat side by side. Others sat down in turn.
Lord Xinling said: "Where is Si coming from?"
Si Mang said: "Gai Chu is the concubine of Marquis Wu."
Lord Xinling said: "What is his generation like?"
Si Mang said: "I have been a commoner for a long time and my family tree has been lost long ago. I dare not hear about it."
Lord Xinling said: "If you are sincere, I dare to match my age. You are my friend, and I am willing to serve you as a brother."
Si Mang hurriedly avoided the table and bowed: "How dare you, sir? This is a capital crime!"
