Chapter 52: Private Discussions

Wei Qi clapped his hands and praised: "Sacrifice your life to take the country, magnificent!" When a moment! "Raise the knight on your knees and drink it all. The other two had no choice but to drink it all. Wei Qi added wine again.

Mang Mao said: "This army was originally led by the lowly, if it is said to be benevolent, it is deserved by the lowly, why bother to fake the captain of Liang." In addition, the captain of the beam is guarding the beam, how can he leave for a while. ”

Captain Liang said: "The deployment of the people's army around Daliang is similar to that of Wei, and all the captains know it. The city of Liang is high and the ditch is deep, and there will be no mistakes. The general is entrusted by the king, how can he be in danger. Favoring a brave husband is just his duty. ”

Wei Qi said: "There is no need to argue, I should enter the palace immediately, submit what is discussed to the king, and ask the king to decide." Whether it is Mang Qing or Liang Wei, one person must rush to the army to replace the son of Xinling, and try to draw as many soldiers as possible to accompany the guard. Qing and others immediately supervised the army, and after the Qin army, they were decided to die. ”

The two said: "So, let's wait and listen!" Wei Qi wanted to keep the meal, and the two insisted. Wei Qi then went straight to the hall, and the two left. Wei Qi changed his clothes and entered the palace to discuss with the King of Wei.

The two went out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and each person's car and horse were outside the Daliang Gate, and the two could only walk to the Daliang Gate to get on the car. This area is between the palace wall and the girder city wall, the avenue is wide, the north is the residence of the important minister, and the south is the city wall. The chasm enters the city from the North Water Gate, folds to the southeast in front of the Daliang Gate, and flows out of the South Water Gate. At this time of war, the gates were closed, and the walls were patrolled by soldiers, and the roads were empty. The two walked side by side, and Mang Mao whispered: "What does Captain Liang want?" ”

Da Liang Wei said: "How can he have a plan, but he just sacrifices his life." ”

Mang Mao said: "If it is not like this, how can you talk about life and death lightly!" ”

Captain Liang said: "He is short-sighted and shallow, but the general advises." ”

Mang Mao said: "The whole army wants it, but it's just Cai'er!" Wei Xiang guarded the view of wealth, and would rather defeat the army and seek wealth, which is not the blessing of the country. This depth is expected to be in Liang Wei also. ”

Da Liang Wei said: "Why should you be biased? ”

Mang Mao said: "In Wei Xiang's opinion, he will not come out of this, so he does not dare to say a word." At this time, there are no six ears, Fang dares to speak, and Liang Wei is not leaking. ”

Da Liang Wei said: "How dare you be biased!" ”

Mang Mao said: "When Liang Wei saw Xinling Jun, he only said it with a slight meaning, and said that Wei Xiang wanted to defeat the army because of wealth. In short, tell the truth about the discussion of the three people at today's banquet. Weiyi believes that Lingjun must have a foolproof strategy. ”

Captain Liang said, "Thank you for your advice!" ”

The two talked all the way, and unconsciously turned to the front of the girder door. The carriages and horses of the two saw them from afar, and hurriedly prepared the carts and hurried over. The two saluted and said goodbye, and each got into the car and left. Mang didn't see that the carriage of the Liang Lieutenant was far away, and there was no one around, so he quietly asked, "How is the court?" ”

"There is no day today, only a public discussion in front of the court."

"Can you listen to your father?"

"Not dismissed."

"My father is the first king's think tank, and people still look forward to it!"

"The only thing is not clear."

"Huh? What's the matter! ”

"What to do with the army led by the Father."

"Why did you reject it?"

"I would rather lose the army!"

Mang Wei's eyes widened in surprise: "Would you rather break the army than break the wealth?" ”

"Exactly! I don't want to be stupid! Mang Mao said hatefully.

"What the hell is going to do with it?"

"Join the army with Captain Liang and fight to the death with the Qin army."

"Then a hundred thousand people will go!"

"Not yet!"

"Father still has a plan?"

"Go home first, and then we will discuss it with father and son."

Mangwei shook off the reins, and the carriage sped up on the empty street, and in a short time it was inside. The prison door opened, and the two led the car into the house. Mang Mao went to the hall first, took a hand knot, called a housekeeper, and instructed him to invite Mr. Che You and Mr. Hu Zhong to dinner together. When the sons heard their father returning, they also gathered from their respective courtyards to the lobby. Everyone bowed and stood on either side. The five sons of the Mang family, each named after the earthly branch of the time of birth, from the oldest to the youngest, are Yin, Hai, Chen, Wei, and Shen. Mangwei has not yet returned from unloading the car, and only the four sons are in the hall at this time. The two sons Yin and Hai were born to Mang Mao after the death of his eldest brother and his sister-in-law; The other three sons were born to the current Mrs. Xuxian. In recent years, Mrs. Xuxian has grown old and has been difficult to survive, so she bought a few concubines and gave birth to a few children, but she has not yet become an adult, and she is only kept in the backyard and does not enter the lobby.

The father and son talked for a while, Mang Wei had finished unloading the car, went back to his yard to get better clothes, and also came to the hall, met his father and brother again, and stood still. The report had arrived at the door, and the two gentlemen had arrived. Mang Mao shouted "please", that is, he got up and went out, and went down the steps, and the five sons were lined up on both sides of the steps. The two gentlemen entered the door, greeted by Mangmao, and the guests and hosts rose up the steps together, and then shook in front of the hall, and after entering the hall, the guests and hosts were seated. The five fish rushed in, and they were divided into two shifts again.

Mang Mao chatted with the two gentlemen Che and Hu for a few words, and said: "There is something unknown about the little one, I want to ask Mr. and invite the two gentlemen to eat together." Then he turned to his sons, "Let you also eat together in the hall." "The two gentlemen and the five sons saluted. The boss Mangyin ordered to go down. When he was young, the maid came to the front of the hall with the food table, and the five sons first presented the food table of Mangmao, Che and Hu to each person's table, all of which were three tripods and two tripods; Then they moved into their own food tables, and they only had one and the other, and they brought two seats and sat down separately. After Mang Mao and the two gentlemen gave in according to the courtesy, they signaled to the five sons. The people began to eat. After finishing eating, remove the food table. Mang Mao said: "The wind is cool in the hall, and sit in the warm pavilion!" Everyone got up and followed Mangmao to the warm pavilion. It was nearly dusk, and the lights in the warm pavilion had been lit, and the tables were ready. Under the command of Mang Yin, the servants moved in a jar of sake and a few wooden cups. Mang Mao said: "Bing Lantern makes a night talk, and the gift of singing is exempt!" The two gentlemen said, "That's exactly what it means." Mangin filled the wooden cup with sake and brought it to the table in front of everyone. Under the guidance of Mangmao, everyone drank a sip of sake and placed it on the table.

Mang Mao said: "Today's military situation, Mr. knows, you should teach me!" ”

After a little silence, Mr. Che You said first: "The Qin army tends to open the seal, and its momentum is very clear. I haven't started how to discuss today. ”

Mang Mao said: "There is no dynasty today, only public opinion." It was agreed that the main beam should be the priority, and the west and south township armies should be extended to the southwest Liguo for defense. The two soldiers are biased towards their fronts. The Beixiang army moved into the city, and the Dongxiang army turned to the south of the city. ”

Mr. Che You said: "What should the people's army outside the city of Putian do?" ”

Mang Mao said: "Replace the letter Lingjun with the captain of the Great Liang, and after the Qin army, fight to the death." ”

Mr. Che You said: "So abandon the unsealed, what can I do?" ”

Mang Mao said: "All the princes say that the big beam is a big thing, and the ears of scabies are sealed. ”

Mr. Che You said: "Kaifeng is not a disease of scabies, but he really cares about the abdomen, and the Lord knows what it means!" ”

Mang Mao said: "I don't know that opening the seal is related to the safety of the beam. However, the Qin army plundered the suburbs, and the princes thought it was impossible. I thought that the Qin army was plundering the suburbs, and there was no way back; Even if it enters Kaifeng, there is still a way for Lianhan to maneuver. ”

Mr. Che You said: "King Han is thin, and he will not go out lightly." ”

Mang Mao said: "Then it depends on how much the king can pay." Qing and the others didn't know that Wei Xiang was thrifty and would rather break the army for the sake of thrifty military rations. If you don't pluck a hair and seek the benefits of the world, how can you get it! ”
