After Mang Mao and his group of ten chariots left the small city, they drove on the avenue in the shape of a staggered goose, Mang Mao's car was in the center, and on the right side of the car was a middle-aged man who was dressed and looked featureless. Munschen drove in the middle.

A group of chariots and horses trotted on the field for a while, and Mang Mao broke the silence: "What is the intention of the Qin people here?" ”

The middle-aged man looked like a clay sculpture, not only did his eyebrows and eyes remain unchanged, but he didn't even open his mouth, as if he was making a voice from his stomach: "Famine!" ”

"Famine?"

"Famine, famine in Qindi."

"How does the gentleman know?"

"Avoid the real and attack the false."

"Avoiding the real and attacking the false? Isn't this the law of war? ”

"It is the common law of a soldier to be weak and strong. The Qin army is weaker than Wei? Hum. ”

"A certain stupidity, please advise me."

"The public body is hungry and tired, do you dare to fight against the Qin army?"

"Don't dare. Therefore, the first war was retreated. ”

"The same is true of the Qin army, which retreats in the first battle. It's for the hungry! ”

"In this way, the Qin people are also here to fight the famine?"

The gentleman was silent, as if something so obvious was no longer worth saying anything more.

Mang Mao was silent for a while, then changed the topic and said, "The Qin people have broken through the South Pass, where will they go?" ”

"Nursery."

Mang Mao was shocked again: "Why did Mr. say this?" ”

"To fight famine, Mo Jia is better than the garden, with plenty of grain and little preparation."

"Why do you want to take Nanguan when you attack the garden?"

"What do you think you should do? Defeat the 100,000 troops of the Gongsu first, and then attack the Great Wall? ”

"Truly! First enter the Great Wall from Nanguan, and then go to the garden, and enter the land of no man...... This, this, how this should be good! ”

"Don't worry, the Qin army will not attack the garden for the time being."

"But why?"

"Because there are still Dr. Jin and Xinling Jun outside the city. Hurry up and storm the garden, and the two of them will be summoned to the pass for the king......"

"I can't avoid the battle that I have avoided so much! Oh, I see! ”

In response to such an obvious compliment, the gentleman on the right side of the car still did not move his expression.

"Then how should the Qin army act?" Mang Mao waited for a while, but couldn't wait for Mr. Che You's reaction, and then asked.

"Girder."

"The Qin army went straight to the beam? This, this, this, isn't it too urgent? How can a hungry army attack the beam? ”

"But it's just looting."

"But just looting? Don't attack the girders, only plunder around? ”

Probably thinking that his meaning had been accurately understood, the gentleman shut up again.

"How will the Qin army plunder? Please sir show me. This time, Mang Mao didn't wait any longer and asked directly.

"Unsealed."

Hearing the name of this place, Mang Mao's face changed greatly: "So, it's dangerous!" ”

The car fell silent again until the Great Wall came into view.

Ten carriages stopped at the range of the crossbows, and the first carriage jumped out of the carriage to the left, galloped towards the city, holding a piece of jade pendant in his hand, and shouted: "The king has entered the customs!" ”

When the man reached the city gate, the city had put down his holster. Without thinking, the man jumped into his holster, and the man of the city pulled up with all his might, and the man kicked the city alternately with his feet, and went up to the city as if he were walking on the ground. After about a moment, the gates rumbled, and then opened. The ten carriages immediately accelerated, and as they marched, they transformed into a column and rushed into the city gates. When the gates were rumbled shut again, the ten carriages were already parked in the small square next to the gates. The castle guard raised his hand on the side of the square in salute.

Mang Mao got out of the car and greeted the city guard: "The city guard is hard! The other passengers, except for the driver, also got out of the car and stood on both sides of the car.

The city guard said: "The general is hard! ”

Mang Mao said: "How is the military situation? ”

The city guard said: "There is no police in the field. There was a beacon fire in Nanguan, but no military report arrived. ”

Mang Mao said: "We will stay in the pavilion for the time being, waiting for the Nanguan military report." Lao Cheng Shou resettled. ”

The city guard did not dare to slack off, and personally sent the group to the pavilion post, and the post officer took the post man to settle the house and the trough one by one, and the doormen either entered the house to settle it, or led the horse to the trough to forage; The city guard also instructed the post officials to double the amount of grain, grass, salt and sauce as usual. Mang Mao said again and again: "Don't dare to disturb, just take a break." ”

When the post guard, the post guard and the guests left in a hurry, the city guard personally soaked the lamp, drank a cup of sake in front of the hall, and offered it to Mangmao. After drinking Mangmao, he also returned to the city guard. Then the two of them entered the hall and sat down left and right. The city guard flattered: "The general drove back, thinking that he would inherit the king's grace again." ”

Mang Mao said: "The general of the defeated army will just return to the court to deal with the crime." ”

The city guard said: "The general said that he was joking. At this critical time, if it is not the general's strategy, how can it be safe! ”

Mang Mao said: "Fang Jin's young talents are numerous, how old and decrepit!" The responsibility of the Wei State is all in the city guards. ”

The city guard said: "How dare you! I only hope that the general will be a pawn in front of the tent, and just listen to orders every day. ”

Mang Mao said: "The city guard doesn't know, as soon as he leaves the city this time, he will fall into the Qin army." After many dangers, you have to get out of danger. Among them, the hardships are not enough to deal with outsiders. ”

Seeing that Mang Mao himself talked about the military situation, the city guard hurriedly followed and asked: "There are many things outside the city. Although General Lai was resourceful and Jingning on the border, Nanguan was on fire again. The life is lowly and shallow, and I am afraid of the king's affairs, so I hope the general will pull it out a little bit to open the mouth. ”

Mang Mao said: "I don't have time to talk about this in detail. In a nutshell, the nursery is the place where the granary of the girder is located, and the safety is related to it, and it must not be lost. At this time, the Qin army that entered Nanguan and the Wei army outside the city were all staring at this place......"

The city guard said: "Wei army outside the city? Can't hold down the bullets? ”

Mang Mao said: "This question shows the shrewdness of the city guard!" Ordinary people must ask, isn't the Wei army outside the gate the help of defending the city? Only the castle keeper knows the secret. ”

The city guard said: "100,000 hungry people, just for food." Once you lose your bonds, everyone becomes a thief. ”

Mang Mao said: "Drive 100,000 hungry and tired people, and the army of fighting tigers and wolves, everyone knows it." If you don't move, it will become a backlash, and what should the city guard do at that time? ”

The city guard said: "Life only guards the city defense, and there is no difference in the pool." ”

Mang Mao said: "The army outside the pass can hold the city defense and enter the army of the south pass?" ”

The city guard said: "The army is not more than a thousand, the city is thin and shallow, if you meet the army of 100,000 tigers and wolves, you can only pay the ears of the sky!" ”

Mang Mao said: "Fang Jin's garden, the front door is wolf, and the back door is crouching tiger, which is the time for people to plan." ”

The city guard said: "I am asking for Mr. to give me advice!" ”

Mang Mao said: "There are 20,000 soldiers outside the gate, which can be called elite; Simply select the pawns, although the hungry and tired people, it is not difficult to be tens of thousands. The city can be guarded so that the old and weak can carry the food, and the strong can go to war, then the city can be defended. ”

The city guard said: "The general is laughing again, where to go to load the grain!" Is it just the rice in this barn? ”

Mang Mao said: "Exactly! The old and weak wagons all went into the warehouse to get grain, and went to war strongly. If he is defeated, the king will be happy, and if he loses a few barns of rice, he will not be counted. If the battle is defeated, the fields will be lost, and all the grain will be lost, and then it will be nothing to do with the city defense. ”

The city guard said: "General Fang Cai once said, drive the sheep and attack the tiger, drive but do not move, but be devoured, what can I do?" ”

Mang Mao said: "Therefore, we must first stand up." If it is successful, it will not be able to backfire; It is not possible, and it can be reversed as much as possible. ”

The city guard said: "What will it be?" ”

Mang Mao said: "The battle is still possible, but the counterattack will die!" ”

The city guard said: "The general's words suddenly opened the mouth. If you are born in difficulty, it is all given by the general! ”

Mang Mao said: "Why is this so! Gai is just dedicated to the country. Oh, the city defense of the garden, can you have a look? ”
