Xinlingjun hit the first ball, which aroused the atmosphere of the whole audience. The second archer was Wei Min, who "learned to ride and shoot at a young age". Naturally, he also hit the target with one arrow. The whole audience cheered again. The other three young masters were not weak. Even Wei Zhe, the youngest, had some difficulty in pulling the bow, but he still managed to hit the swan.
Si Mang returned with the arrows, loudly announced that all the arrows had "pierced the leather target" (shot through the leather target), and took the lead in cheering. Then everyone on the field and bystanders cheered. The cheers and cheers attracted the soldiers who were indoors. They found a group of noble princes shooting arrows on the field, and they all gathered around. In the second round, there were four people: the second son of the Mang family, Zhang Yuan and Simang. There was only one arrow left, which was handed over to Lord Xinling in order, and Wei Zhe, the youngest among the sons, reported the target.
When Wei Zhe, who was behind the bunker, raised a small flag, the whole place fell silent, and the atmosphere became even more tense than before. Manghai, who shot first, almost broke his bow, which elicited a burst of admiring laughter. These four people are obviously different from the noble master. From a distance, you can see that the four arrows are concentrated in the center.
Mr. Xinling was the last one to appear, and his appearance alone silenced the entire audience. Lord Xinling drew his bow and released the arrow again, without any special aim. The arrows were close to the four in front, and the audience immediately burst into cheers.
Amidst the cheers, a cry came from a distance: "The military envoy is reporting urgently~! The military envoy is reporting urgently~!..."
The mood on the court immediately became tense. Before Wei Zhe could report the target, Lord Xinling said: "Since the military envoy has come to report, I don't dare to delay and I dare to resign!"
Si Mang said: "I dare not stay with you."
Zhang He said to Mang Chen and other young masters, "Go back to your room and rest for now. There will be messengers sooner or later." Everyone left. Si Mang said a lot of encouraging words based on the reason why these young men were shooting arrows and the fact that most of the soldiers were present.
In front of the gate of Huayang Wei Mansion, Lord Xinling met the military envoy who had been waiting here for a long time, and conveyed Jin Bi's opinion: All military generals will go to the rear army to discuss matters. As for why it is arranged in the rear army, this is because the general is in charge of the rear army. If there is no urgent military situation, he will naturally go to the general's tent to discuss matters.
Lord Xinling was not pretentious and agreed to the matter, but said that the day was too urgent and the general could prepare the meal in the afternoon instead. Send the envoy away.
Zhang Yue first went to Zhong Yue and told him to go to Daliang Wei for diagnosis; he also asked a few gentlemen to greet Mr. Jin and his party and be sure to return before sunset; he went to Si Mang and asked him to prepare a keynote speech; Find several young masters and ask them to prepare for the reception. Lord Xinling went to Huayang Wei's mansion in person and asked Huayang Wei to come out. He also ran to Dr. Xu Jia and asked him to participate in the meeting.
In the rush, I saw Uncle Tang and his entourage leading the Lu family into the city. They met Lord Xinling first, and Lord Xinling asked them to rest in the Lu brothers' room first, and come to visit as soon as they had some free time. They met Zhang Ye again, and Zhang Ye asked Uncle Tang to rest for a while, that is, to load grain and grass and send them to the front army.
Mr. Jin and his entourage entered the city at midnight, met with Lord Xinling and others at Huayang Wei Mansion, and then hurried to Simang's office to draw a detailed map of the situation. Mr. Zhongyue came back from the diagnosis with a smile on his face and said: "Liang Wei, you have nothing to worry about!" Lord Xinling also had a smile on his face and asked: "We are discussing in front of the tent, can Wei Liang come?"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "If you personally invite him, he will definitely come. The only way is to get there by car." Lord Xinling understood and ordered the retainer to prepare a car to pick up Daliang Wei. After thinking about it, he asked people to keep Mr. Liang Wei, and went to Zuoying to welcome Si Sheng. He also specially called for the right Piian Pi. There was a big battle.
During this period, he sent famous guests to ask why the Lu brothers were stranded and did not return. The answer was that because they stayed overnight at Lu Bojie's house, the war broke out the next day, and the whole territory was cleared. Can only stay in the outer room at home. Uncle Tang went to find them with the festival talisman and then brought them out. This reasonable but somewhat unexpected answer made Zhang Noi dumbfounded and had no choice but to ask the Lu brothers to send Lu Bojie home first. As for how Lu Bojie explained to his wife, Zhang Noi found it funny when he thought about it.
Cleaning was carried out in front of the Huayang Wei Mansion, two curtains were pulled up, and a large space was separated from the square, enough to seat more than a hundred people. The tent door is empty in front, and the tent door is empty in the back, facing the palace gate. Lord Xinling and his party can enter through here to "raise the tent." Soldiers were always on guard outside the city, and the security tasks inside the city were completed by the retainers. Every battalion's daily work, such as transporting food, must go through the south gate. The other three gates have been strengthened and are not allowed to pass except those who hold festival charms.
There are more than ten firewood piles piled up in the square, ready to light a fire and make meals at any time. As for why there are so many piles? Lord Xinling's retainers also ate with him because of their duties. Next to them, according to the standard of two groups and one stone, they picked out corn and prepared salt plums.
Mr. Xinling led the retainers and pulled the cart to invite Mr. Liang Wei. Mr. Zhongyue came in first to announce it, and Mr. Liang Wei welcomed him out of the camp gate. Lieutenant Daliang lay on the table and said words of gratitude. After saying no more, he "invited" Mr. Xinling and his entourage out of the room on the pretext of changing clothes, leaving only Mr. Liang Wei waiting in the room. Lord Xinling waited patiently outside the door. About half an hour later, when the door opened again, Lieutenant Daliang finished his work neatly and appeared in front of everyone, his spirit and demeanor were completely different from before. With the help of Prince Liang, Lieutenant Liang got into the carriage. The diners pulled the carriage in front, and Lord Xinling walked beside him holding hands. Many soldiers saw this scene and all secretly marveled.
When the car entered Huayang Wei's Mansion, Daliang Wei rested in a warm pavilion next to the lobby. A thick straw mattress had been prepared there, with a mat spread on top and a table on the mat. After Mr. Liang Wei served Daliang Wei to the table, he was driven away by Daliang Wei. Lord Xinling also had to send away all the guests who were not on duty, leaving only Mr. Zhang Noi and Mr. Zhong Yue. They were not free, and from time to time Come out and take care of the reception. ——The young master Liang Wei who was kicked out was invited by Zhong Yue to stay in the tent and serve as the "front desk" together with Liang Bugu. General matters will be handled by Liang Bugu. If something is a little more troublesome, please discuss it with Mr. Liang Wei. Mr. Liang Wei had a cold face and an impatient look on his face, but he felt comfortable with his situation of being left out.
As the sun set in the west, Pi, the rear army on the right, arrived first, followed by Si Mang and Si Sheng. Although You Pianpi and Si Sheng knew Liang Bugu, they were a little surprised that he hosted the guests. Only Si Mang participated in the noon meeting, but they were also surprised that Lord Xinling appointed the princes so quickly. When they entered the tent and saw Mr. Liang Wei sitting in the tent, they became really frightened: Logically speaking, Mr. Liang Wei, as the fake right school captain, is a guest rather than a host. Now he is obviously in the position of the host, and he seems to be better than the host. Liang Bugu's status is still high, which makes people confused. Si Mang, who knew the inside story, whispered that Lieutenant Daliang was going to attend the meeting, and the two of them were even more surprised. Mr. Liang Wei is very respectful in his etiquette and willing to take the lower position. However, his cold expression was in stark contrast to the enthusiastic Liang Bugu, which actually added a bit of majesty.
The second doctor to arrive was Dr. Jin Bi. He came with the Central Army General and a group of entourage: among them were mainly the Central Army General's entourage. As usual, Jin Bi only had one staff member, Xiao Jian. Whichever army Jin Bi went to, he would "jointly work" with that general, and all orders would be issued through that army. In the past two days, he personally commanded the former army, mainly using the staff of the former generals. When he returned to the Chinese army in the afternoon, he used the command system of the Chinese generals.
The group of people were first greeted by the guests of Lord Xinling at the city gate. They got off the car at the city gate and were taken away by several guests. The guests of the host and guest bowed and came to the tent and handed it over to Liang Bugu. Liang Bugu was a noble of the Wei family. Jin Bi and the generals naturally recognized him, but they were still very surprised when they met at the tent. Especially the generals, who had no idea that Liang Bugu was in the army and how he got there, so he asked He said: "Why are you here?"
Jin Bi knew a little bit about it and explained it first: "Bu Gu went out with Captain Daliang, and now he is following the general's command."
Si Mang and Si Sheng did not want to sit with Mr. Liang Wei in the tent. They felt the atmosphere was awkward, so they ran to the tent to stay with Liang Bugu, saying they were ordered to welcome guests. Seeing that the two of them didn't know the details, Si Mang explained: "The young masters originally followed Daliang Wei, but now they return to the general's tent to listen to orders. The general ordered Mr. Bu Gu to wait in front of his tent, and Mr. Gao to serve in front of Ding. The other princes have their own appointments. .”
The general asked, "Who is Mr. Gao?"
Liang Bugu replied: "Young Master Gao is the guest of Sima Mansion in Wei. He and his ministers went out to battle with Daliang Lieutenant. Now they are all under Lord Xinling's tent to listen to orders."
The general in the central army said with envy: "His father is the Prime Minister of Wei Sima, and his son is the king of Xinling, which is much better than his father!"
Liang Bugu said respectfully: "Fortunate to be supported, I hope all my fathers will take care of me!"
The general laughed loudly and entered the tent. Suddenly he saw Young Master Liang Wei standing respectfully in front of him. He was startled again and said: "Young Master is also here!... Do you respect your father the most?"
Mr. Liang Wei said: "I am following the general's order to welcome my fathers in the tent. My father is seen serving the general in the mansion."
The Chinese general lowered his head in fright and followed Mr. Liang Wei into the tent. There was no seat in the tent, only a small table was placed at the top. There were already people on the table, and the rear army was leaning to the right. Doctor Jin Bi and the Chinese army general sat down on the opposite left side, and their staff sat down behind them in order of status. Mr. Liang Wei is here to accompany you, the Prime Minister.
The central general originally wanted to chat with Young Master Liang Wei, but when he saw that Young Master Liang Wei had a cold face, he did not dare to provoke him. He moved to the opposite table and chatted quietly with Mr. Right Pian Pi. You Pian Pi was also a military soldier. Being able to serve as a Pian Pi in an army naturally meant that his family status was not low, and he could also talk to the generals of the central army. The right side responded to his liking and asked about the battle of the past two days. Although the Chinese general was not on the front line, he had participated in the events and had a general understanding of it. He spoke with great joy, and although his voice was small, his pride was evident in his words; Pian Pi whispered flattery beside him. Jin Bi looked at him from time to time, and occasionally chatted with Xiao Jian. Only Young Master Liang Wei lowered his eyebrows and looked down, but his face was expressionless.
After a while, the former general also led a group of followers into the city. I was also shocked by the person who greeted me in front of the tent. However, he was placed in the right seat by Mr. Liang Wei, at the head of the right side. Right Pianpi was originally alone, but now, there were a lot of staff sitting behind the former general, making him even more lonely and deserted.
