Xin Lingjun took two steps back and bowed. Jin Contempt toasted the two of them and drank a bowl himself.

Xin Lingjun asked again: "The general estimates, how long will it take for our army to complete the formation?" ”

"Two or three days is enough!"

"If the Qin army attacks in the past two or three days, how to deal with it?"

"Our army has retreated sixty miles, and the Qin army has not followed it. Even if the Qin army arrives now, our army has already completed the formation, so there is no need to worry. ”

"The Qin army is good at fighting, and the Marquis and Wu Anjun are the world's famous generals, and they have always been fierce and unexpected with their soldiers.

"Childe is very worried. The minister has sent many scouts, sentinels from afar, and the Qin army's movements can be known at any time. ”

Jin Contempt suddenly said in a loud voice: "When Gongzi went out of the city, he found the activities of the Qin army near Guancheng, so please be careful!" ”

Mang Mao's expression changed, and he returned to normal: "The Qin army scouts and sentries, and the ministers fail to visit, disturb the son, and the ministers are guilty of death!" ”

Xinling Jun was upright, sat upright and saluted: "I can go, and the enemy can come." Our military has not been fortified, and it is reasonable for some scouts to be a little strong. Dare to ask the general, how has the Qin army moved in the past two days? ”

Mang Mao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and replied, "Scout sentry, the Qin army is still camped in the north and has not yet come out. ”

"No movement for two days? But reinforcements arrived? ”

"The scouts looked at it from afar, and the Qin army camp was dusty, and it seemed that a large number of military horses were mobilized. What Childe said, eight or nine of them. ”

"Then the Qin army didn't move, was it waiting for something?"

"The minister has not yet obtained details. There are only three to think of: first-class reinforcements, second-class grain and grass, and third-class allies. ”

"Waiting for allies? With Zhao in the north and Han in the south, and Wei to Qi in the east, who will ally with Qin? ”

"The ministers have thought again and again, and the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han, and Qi will not ally with Qin."

"What the Qin army is waiting for may be grain and grass. If the Qin army receives grain and grass, how can our army fight against the Qin army? ”

"It is no less than six hundred miles from Hangu to the north, and it is impossible for Qin to send people to deliver grain. If you collect grain and grass, you must collect it locally. ”

"There are 700,000 households in Luoyang, all the richest in the world, and it is easy to obtain grain and grass for a month and a half."

"As Gongzi said, Luoyang is a rich place in the world, but 700,000 rich people, who is easy to match! In addition, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to take it by force, and it is impossible to take it by force, so it can only be taken by the market. Doing business with these people doesn't break Qin Jun's skin! ”

Seeing that the argument could not lead to anything, Xinling Jun could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart and change the topic: "Although the Qin army stopped in the north and did not move, it was only three or four days away from our army. ”

Mang Mao replied: "Childe is very thoughtful, and his heart is as careful as a hair. According to the minister's opinion, the movement of our army in the first two days was extremely dangerous: one was not far away, and the Qin army could breathe; The second is that the movement range is large, and the camp is unstable. Now that the camp is about to be settled, it is only a small transfer, and there are echoes from the front and back, and the most dangerous time has passed. Just don't take it lightly! ”

Xin Lingjun nodded and said, "What the general said is very true. Tonight is over, and seeing that the Qin army will not attack, the camp can be moved in the morning. As long as the formation is tight, it is expected that the Qin army will not dare to attack. ”

Mang Mao looked at the leak, saw that the hourglass was about to end, and sighed: "It turns out that the long night is coming to an end!" I don't want to talk to my son, it's so cute! ”

Xinling Jun said: "Wuji has been taught a lot, and I don't feel that the night is coming to an end!" ”

Mang Mao said: "The son will take a nap, and he will be promoted to the army." At that time, all the generals came to pay homage, and I was afraid that they would not be able to rest. ”

Xinlingjun said: "There is General Lao." Disturb the general and not rest, unscrupulous! ”

Mang Mao said: "I have to meet my son, what a blessing!" After finishing speaking, he called an officer, but it was none other than Mangshen, who sent the envoy to the Liang, and ordered: "Take Gongzi and Doctor Jin to the back tent to rest." ”

Xinlingjun and Jin Wei both bowed up again, and Mang Mao bowed down to send out the big tent. The two followed Mangshen to a tent, Mangshen opened the door curtain, the two entered, Mangshen saluted in front of the door and said: "The general ordered Shen to follow the son, but the son was sent, and Shen did not dare to resign." ”

The two returned the salute and said: "The little general rest in peace, don't dare to disturb!" Manshen just withdrew.

The two looked inside, and saw that the curtain was divided into two by a brocade curtain; In each of the two rooms there is a large stack of tall straw piles, on which are covered with a layer of straw mats, and thin beds are raised on the pillows. The two exchanged a salute and rested on their bunks. It didn't take long for Jin to snore loudly.

Although Xinlingjun was aching and dizzy, he had difficulty sleeping. The first time he lived in the barracks deeply stimulated him. Although the straw is spread thickly, it is still a little prickly; The cold air leaking from the bottom of the surrounding drapery was also particularly biting at this time; The patrol posts that walked by from time to time and the passwords that sounded from time to time made Xinlingjun unable to sleep.

But Shinling-kun's agony did not last long: soon drums sounded outside the tent. Knock knock, knock knock,......

Xin Lingjun and Jin Cong sat up at the same time, tidied up each other's clothes and armor, and walked out of the door. I met Mangshen who was hurrying over.

Seeing that the two had already gone out, Manshen hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The general is waiting in the tent." ”

Jin contempt returned the salute and said, "Please lead the way." ”

Mangshen led the way in front, and the two followed, and came to Mangmao's big tent again. Mang Mao was fully dressed and stood at the door of the tent, with a lofty spirit; A group of soldiers lined up on the left and right, guarding them with halberds. The two were silent, and followed Mang Shen to Mangmao's side and stood down.

I saw that the soldiers in the barracks from all over the place had gathered in the square in front of the tent. Those who have complete armor and hold halberds are naturally military pawns; Those who wear thin armor, even those who have no armor, and carry clubs of all colors, are undoubtedly the people who are suffering from famine everywhere. The square in front of the tent was not large, only about a thousand people lined up, and about half of them were military soldiers.

As soon as the drum was over, the queue was already very neatly arranged in the square. The field was very quiet, and no one made a sound, which made Xin Lingjun very satisfied: "Mangmao is still very strict in governing the army!" ”

Soon the second drum sounded. The teams rang out for a roll call; After the roll call, the voice is reported level by level. After the second drum was finished, an officer walked to the place ten feet in front of the tent and said loudly: "Ten soldiers of the Zhonghu battalion!" ”

Gradually, all the battalions of the Chinese army also arrived, reporting that their soldiers had arrived; Then there are the left and right generals who are further away.

Mang Mao brought the generals into the tent and sat down in turn. Mang Mao took out the tiger talisman again in public, and it matched the tiger talisman carried by Xin Lingjun. Knowing that the army has changed its main general, all the generals are the same. Xin Lingjun bowed deeply on the seat. Jin contempt said: "The matter is urgent, the king and the general Mangmao will return to the capital and conspire with the ministers to deal with the aftermath, and the army will be handed over to the prince of Wei, Xinlingjun Wuji, to temporarily take it." ”

Xin Lingjun gave another salute on his seat, turned around and nodded to Mangmao. Mang Mao then spoke: "According to the order of the prince, the distribution of each army has been decided, and the generals will obey the order!" ”

All the generals sat up together, with a serious face......

When the three-way drum outside the tent sounded, Mangmao had already completed the assignment, and the generals returned to the camp to mobilize military horses and prepare to move the camp or guard. The soldiers gathered in the square also dispersed one after another after completing various drills.
