Since Lieutenant Daliang lived in the Zhongying barracks, Lord Xinling wanted to visit, so he also called Si Mang.
Deep in the barracks, Lord Xinling met with Lieutenant Daliang. Mr. Liang Weigong welcomed Daliang Wei out of the room on behalf of Daliang Wei. Daliang Wei was lying on the ground with a thick layer of straw under his body. The light in the room was dim, and his face could not be seen clearly, and he could only hear a faint voice.
Lord Xinling briefly introduced the general situation of the two days of fighting. Lieutenant Daliang said in a weak voice: "I have heard about it from Quan Zi, but I am not as careful as your Majesty. The Qin people have been invading for two days without success. They retreated at the slightest touch, which is because they are not strong enough. If I attack with all my strength, I will be able to break it." "
Lord Xinling had never thought about this in the past two days, and turned his attention to Young Master Liang Wei and Si Mang. Both of them had expressionless faces, turning a deaf ear to Lieutenant Liang's words, and turning a blind eye to Lord Xinling's questioning gaze. Lord Xinling was at a loss and could only answer vaguely: "Wei Daliang is unique in his knowledge and has learned a lot. I hope Lieutenant Daliang will take good care of his body and teach him a lesson sooner or later."
Captain Daliang said: "I cannot drive for the sake of the emperor, but instead trouble the emperor to take care of him. It is a capital crime!"
Lord Xinling said: "I have something to ask of Daliang Lieutenant today. All the young masters praised the painting tent. Although Daliang Lieutenant is ill, can you give him some advice?"
Lieutenant Daliang said: "I have forgotten the words of Mr. Wei. This is what happens when a sick body is so weak! My illness is so severe that my mind is in chaos. I wish you to train me, gentlemen."
Lord Xinling said: "How dare I do it? I have doubts and want to ask Daliang Wei for advice. But this is the disease! This man has his own illness!"
Captain Daliang said: "The war is urgent now. I am disabled and sick, so I dare not burden you. This child is ignorant and ignorant. I hope you will take care of me."
Lord Xinling had no choice but to say goodbye and leave, and Young Master Liang Wei was sent outside. Lord Xinling said: "I haven't seen you for two days. Why is Lieutenant Daliang so seriously ill? Mr. Zhongyue is in a hurry. I would like to ask you to pay your respects to Lieutenant Daliang."
Liang Wei Gongzi said: "My father's illness is the most important thing. I see that the Qin people are outside, the Koreans are on the side, and there are also unspeakable things in Daliang City. Your Majesty's army is here, what should I do?"
Lord Xinling said: "Does Lieutenant Daliang have a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"
Mr. Liang Wei said: "If you have a good plan, you should report it to the emperor first. How can I know about it?"
After coming out of Daliang Wei's place, Lord Xinling asked Si Mang to send people to call the young masters who came with Daliang Wei and the second son of Mang to the Yingsi Mansion. Si Mang sent someone. The three of them went back to Yingsi Mansion to take a break. Lord Xinling asked impatiently: "Does what Lieutenant Daliang said be true?"
Si Mang said: "The way of war is to attack and defend, only to know what is true and what is false. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger. Today, I am a commander of a battalion. I don't know the relationship between the three armies, so I don't know myself. The scouts I sent can't explore more than three miles, and I don't know myself." Seeing the state of the Qin people, it can be said that they don’t know the enemy. If you don’t know yourself or the enemy, how can you dare to tell the way of fighting and defending!"
Lord Xinling heard what Si Mang said: Lieutenant Daliang was in the room, but the suggestions he made based on a few words of introduction were so obvious that he did not know himself or the enemy, and was not worth discussing. He looked at Zhang Ye again, and Zhang Ye replied: "I see Daliang Wei, although his voice is weak, his energy is deep. He is not a seriously ill person. Maybe he can be used."
Lord Xinling said: "If Lieutenant Daliang can be used, he will not be able to do it alone. How can he be used?"
Zhang Ye said: "Young Master Liang Wei seems to have something to point out. You can consult him in many ways to get his feelings."
Lord Xinling said: "If I entrust you to Mr. Zhongyue, everything will come true!"
While they were talking, the young masters arrived one after another. The three of them stopped talking about this and turned to greetings and greetings.
The young masters lived in the barracks, so they came very quickly. Zhang Ye led them to the banquet one by one: the four young masters of Wei were on the left, the two Mang brothers were on the right, and he and Simang were listed below the Mang family. After all the princes arrived, Lord Xinling said: "The Qin people are coming to invade me. I am just asking for advice. Sir, please don't do anything wrong!"
All the princes said together: "How dare you, my ministers? I don't dare to pay homage to you for fear of disturbing your military opportunity."
Lord Xinling said: "Yesterday we had a big battle with the Qin people, and the Qin people were frightened. Now I just took a look at the formation and left, so I had time to meet with the gentlemen." Everyone praised the virtue of King Wei. Lord Xinling asked Zhang Noi to give a brief introduction to the battle over the past two days, and Si Mang supplemented it. Then he said: "I would like all the gentlemen to praise the paintings of Daliang Wei and sit high and discuss the truth. However, the war is urgent and many help are needed. I hope all the gentlemen can help me. Is it possible?"
All the young masters bowed together and said, "I sincerely obey your orders, and don't dare to resign!"
Lord Xinling looked at Zhang Noi and said, "Liang Wei is suffering from fatigue. Mr. Zhang is in charge of military affairs, but if there are any affairs, he will handle all matters on his behalf."
The princes bowed again and said, "Here!" Then they turned around and bowed to Zhang Noi. Zhang Ye returned the greeting and said: "All the gentlemen are talented and have extraordinary knowledge. They should not be left out of the army. I am willing to consult you."
The princes said: "Here!"
Zhang He said: "Brothers of the Mang family, I have come out of the ministerial service and would like to serve as ministers to you all."
All the young masters said: "Here!"
Zhang Noi said: "If something happens, I will accept your help and I would like to take Mr. Chen as the leader!"
Mang Chen bowed and said, "How virtuous I am, how dare you do this!"
Lord Xinling said: "Young master Chen is young and mature. What you have seen is extraordinary. I hope you will not say goodbye!"
Mangchen bowed again and said, "I accept your compliments, and I am willing to serve all the young gentlemen with my own body!" He turned around and bowed to all the young gentlemen. The young masters returned the greeting and said, "I will obey you without any violation!"
Lord Xinling said: "Each of the princes expressed his ambitions and strategies for fighting."
Zhang Ye said: "The younger ones come first and the older ones come last. They should tell themselves their name and origin first."
The princes could no longer evade it, so the one at the bottom of the left seat was the first to speak: "I am the Wei clan, and my father is the Prime Minister of Wei. I am well versed in numerology. If I follow the history of the commission, I will make sure it is correct."
Lord Xinling said: "Young master, if you study at home, you will be able to show your talents."
Next, he said: "I have a high family name in Wei, and my father is Sima Xiang of Wei. If you are having a banquet with guests, I am willing to cut it off, and it will surely make everything right and even."
Lord Xinling said: "Today there are mountains, rivers and ravines, and if we build trenches and fortresses, how can you, Sir, make them equal?"
Wei Gao thought for a moment and said, "As long as you get its shape, it's harmless."
Lord Xinling said: "If you see merit, it will be of great benefit to our army. It can be a great merit."
The third person said: "I have no grain in the Liang family, and I am the bastard of the chief minister. I am a brother and a fan, but I can kiss them. But if you ask for employment, I will not disgrace my orders as an envoy." The other three people couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. The sound comes.
Lord Xinling said: "Why are you laughing?"
Wei Gaodao said: "I recall that the princes and princes were so powerful that they laughed."
Lord Xinling said: "I have also heard that the Grand Prime Minister was favored by his family members, and his family became prosperous after that. Bu Gu was given to the Liang family, and he became an independent family. This shows that the Grand Prime Minister has high hopes."
The chief son responded: "Bu Gu is filial to his mothers and close to his brothers. Even if there are hundreds of them, he will know them one by one and there will be no confusion."
Lord Xinling said: "This will definitely be of great benefit to the country. Dare you ask me for advice!"
The chief young master replied: "I am a citizen of the Wei family, and my father is a school captain. I have learned riding and shooting since I was a child. I am willing to serve you on the left and right, and die in front of you."
Lord Xinling said: "What a great people!"
When he came to the right table, Mang Chen said: "My father, Mang Shichen, is Wei Qing. Although he followed his father in many expeditions, it is difficult to understand the desolation. But I have a destiny, and I dare not resign!"
Lord Xinling nodded approvingly without comment.
Mang Hai said: "My father is Wei Qing, Mang Shihai. I think good thoughts are not as good as death, so I am willing to deal with those who are in trouble. But if you are sent, I will die!"
Lord Xinling sighed and said, "It's a blessing to have so many talented people helping me. Mr. Zhang knows people well and will be able to show their talents."
Zhang He said: "I am in charge of military affairs, and the general responsibility of the camp is Mr. Zhongyue. We will discuss it with you and I will definitely invite you someday."
After chatting for a while, Lord Xinling suddenly said to Si Mang: "I noticed that there is a Guange swan in the school field. I haven't practiced shooting for a long time and my skills are tired. Is it okay to lend the camp Si Mang's place as a gift for shooting?"
Si Mang said: "This is a shooting place for the army, not a shooting ceremony hall."
Lord Xinling asked, "What do you think, gentlemen?"
The people of Wei were very enthusiastic and said: "But if you can shoot it, why bother with the temple!"
Lord Xinling said: "This is reasonable. But I don't know where the bows and arrows are?" Since the soldiers were carrying crossbows and arrows, Lord Xinling asked this question.
Zhang He said: "I see that the arsenal in the city is also a crossbow. Dare you invite the Huayang captains?"
Si Mang said: "I have a bow and robe in my house, but I haven't opened my eyes yet. Maybe there is a bow and arrow." He got up and led everyone to the back room.
The so-called back room is only separated by a small corridor. In a small room on the west side, there is a bow made of cowhide on the table. It is covered with dust, and it seems that it has not been taken care of for a long time. After dusting off the dust and untying the rope, there was indeed a complete bow, with a string made of beef tendon and five arrows inside. Lord Xinling knocked on the bow. The wooden sound was crisp and clear, and he was very satisfied. I tightened the string and pulled it. The bow power was not strong, but it was still usable. Lord Xinling handed the bow to the other young masters and said, "Let's try his hand." Several young masters pulled it, some found it difficult, some found it too light, and each one had different differences.
Lord Xinling said: "There is only one bow in sight. Those who are willing to shoot it will do it, and those who are not willing to look at it, is that okay?"
Si Mang said: "I am willing to win."
Lord Xinling said: "In the school grounds, the Secretary is the host. Why do you get it? Please be the Secretary of Shooting."
Zhang He said: "There are only five arrows, which is difficult to use. But one shot can be used. We will get them in order."
The princes said, "Sir, that's what you said."
There are six young masters of the Lian Mang brothers here, including Lord Xinling, Zhang Yuan and Simang, a total of nine people. Only five of them can shoot each time, and the remaining four can take turns to report the target (win).
After some negotiation, Lord Xinling and the four aristocratic young men were chosen to shoot in the first round. Si Mang felt humbled that he was the lowest, so he still went to report the target.
Everyone came to the school ground and stood in front of the place where soldiers usually practice shooting. The archery target is not decorated with falcons of various beasts, but is just a simple piece of cowhide tied to a wooden stake with twine.
When everyone came to the school grounds, the soldiers who were sitting and walking around the school grounds saw it. I didn't know what was going on at first, but when I saw them holding bows and arrows, they were trying to practice shooting, so they gathered around them with interest. Si Mang forbade them to come forward and only stood on both sides where they usually watched arrows. He walked behind the winner's bunker (a wooden board as high as a person) and raised the flag.
Based on his status, the first shot was naturally Lord Xinling. These military soldiers would naturally recognize this noble young master who was inferior to one person in the Wei Kingdom and surpassed ten thousand people. Seeing that he was about to shoot an arrow, everyone was secretly excited, and the field was full of excitement.
Lord Xinling was calm and relaxed. He took a moment to nock the arrow, drew the bow to full length, and with just one aim, the arrow was released. With a "snatch" sound, it was nailed to the cowhide. There was a burst of cheers immediately on the field.
