Chapter 60: Grain

Mang's father and son came to the front of the house, but saw Liang Wei's son parked in front of the door, and Mangshen was gone. Everyone stopped, and Liang Wei Gongzi walked quickly to salute. Mang Mao returned the salute and said: "The dog is rude, how can you make the noble person stay under the door." Ten thousand beggars forgive sins. Please don't give up, take a break. ”

Liang Wei Gongzi said: "The king does not care about his family, he does not care about the war, and he is also the foundation of the soldier." Today's father led the king's order to go out into battle, regardless of his wealth; Although the boy did not go out of the battle, he served the son on his father's orders, and he didn't dare to take care of himself, but he waited immediately and shared it. ”

Mang Mao said: "Liang Wei's son's family is long, and Mang's family is not as good." However, if you break your family and serve the country, you don't dare to do it. Manshen went out into battle more, and the accumulated grain was exhausted. Please wait a while, my father and son will sweep the warehouse and pour the cauldron to help. ”

Liang Wei Gongzi said: "The Mang family is responsible for the country, who doesn't respect it!" The boy is careless, he doesn't choose what he says, don't blame the general! ”

Mang Mao said: "Son! 'The king does not care about his family, he does not care about his body in war, and he is the foundation of a soldier. 'The words of the son are like gold and jade, and when the motto of the inscription, he is always vigilant. ”

The two exchanged salutes. Mang's father and son pulled the cart into the house. The three sons unloaded the car, and Mang Mao and the two gentlemen came straight to the hall. Seeing the housekeeper on the side of the road, he replied, "Where is Shen'er?" ”

She replied, "Say goodbye to your wife in the back hall." ”

Mang Mao scolded: "Ignorant madman, the king doesn't care about his family, he doesn't care about the war, and he is the foundation of the soldier." Now I am ordered by the king to go into battle, but I am confined to family affairs, what is the reason! The people did not know what to say, and did not dare to answer. Mr. Hu Zhong said: "The Lord does not need to be angry, even if he does not care about his family, ethics must not be abolished. Childe is filial by nature, rare, rare. ”

Mang Mao asked again: "Is the grain and straw ready for the son's battle?" ”

Sheren said: "The Lord has gone out to return, and the grain and straw in the house have not yet been replenished." Now only three days of rations and daily horses are left, and the rest is paid to the son. However, it is not enough for a chariot. ”

Mang Mao asked: "When you set out on the expedition the day before yesterday, you had to make up for it without grain?" ”

Shedao: "The Lord went out on the expedition the day before, that is, he used the grain stored in the house; The grain has been adjusted, but it is on the way; At present, the troops on duty are in chaos, and it may be difficult to help. ”

Mang Mao asked, "Where is the grain delivered?" ”

"There is no news yet. In the past, it was often estimated that it should be just loaded and shipped, and it could arrive in three days. However, when the army is in turmoil, it may be necessary to find another way, or even stop the operation. ”

Mang Mao suddenly asked: "Where do you usually transport grain into the beam?" ”

Sheren: "Chen stayed in Liang, not two other ways, or the south road, or the east road." When the police were encountered in Jinnan Province, they came from the host road. ”

Mang Mao paused and said: "Negligent!" Then stand down. Two gentlemen, please! ”

The three of them went straight into the lobby. Mang Mao said: "I didn't want to go on a business trip to the pool." This matter still needs to be bothered Mr. Lao. ”

The two saluted and said, "Dare to ask what?" ”

Mang Mao said: "The family is in Chenliu, ninety miles away from the city. Cheap expedition, the world is still Qingping, so sweep out of the house, the grain can be transported in a few days. Things were upside down, the times changed, and Daliang suddenly fell into war; Seeing that the matter was unknown, the grain was swept and left before the letter was given to Lingjun. Now Shen'er is on the expedition, but there is no grain to use! And the grain left behind is waiting to be shipped. Daliang counts the police every day, how can the grain enter the city, isn't it owned by others? ”

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Is the grain left by Chen out or not? ”

Mang Mao said: "There is no news!" ”

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "This is difficult. If you can know where the grain truck is, you can still think of it. ”

Mang Mao said: "This is exactly what Mr. needs to do for me!" ”

Mr. Che You said: "The top priority is to find the grain truck. The grain cart has been acquired, and the trade-off is up to me, so why not! ”

Mang Mao pondered for a moment and said, "I still need Mr. Hu Zhong to help me in this matter!" ”

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "You should be served!" ”

Mang Mao said: "Mr. Lao and the dog sneaked out of the girder, and Chen stayed to intercept the grain truck. Camera. After that, I will not do it, but Mr. will decide for me. ”

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "The lord sent it, and the minister did not dare to resign. May the Lord show you the rules. ”

Mang Mao said: "I will send the eldest son Yin'er to accompany me." Everything is decided by Mr., and Yin'er will handle it on my behalf. ”

While he was talking, Mangshen and Mangyin, who had gone home first, arrived. Manshin armor is distinct, with swords and spears; Mang Yin had already changed his clothes and was idly dressed in a wide robe. The two met and stood at the foot of the hall. Mang Yin said: "The soup is ready, please take a bath for my father." ”

Mang Mao ignored Mang Yin for the time being, turned to Mang Shen and said: "The food at home is insufficient, and it is difficult to support, so you can take three days of grain to go out first." At present, the soldiers are everywhere, and it is difficult to open the city gates. Yin'er and Mr. Huzhong went out of the city with Shen'er and went straight to Chenliu to transport grain and straw to the front of the battle to receive help. ”

Mangshen was stunned when he heard this, but it was difficult to reply, so he had to salute. Mang Yin was also taken aback, and glanced at Mr. Hu Zhong, but saw that Mr. Hu Zhong nodded slightly.

Mang Mao said: "Have you ever had all the grain?" ”

Manshen replied: "After my son returned home, he had prepared three days of grain, ten days of corn, and ten days of straw, all of which had been loaded. ”

Mang Mao said: "The grain is with you, and the cart is not sent." You immediately followed Liang Weigongzi back to the Liang Wei Mansion to perform his duties, and faced the lack of food and straw at home, and said that Yin'er and Mr. Hu Zhong would go to the house to meet him when he was young. Seeing that Mang Shen was not clear, Mang Mao added: "Don't be suspicious, there is Xinling Jun in front of the battle, and he is a benevolent and righteous son, and he will not embarrass you; And the grain left by my father and son the day before yesterday should not be exhausted, and it should be enough to support it. Liang was alerted, and it was difficult for Chen to transport grain into the city, so the family could only do everything they had and live frugally. ”

Mangshen saluted, retreated, went to the side courtyard, took out the grain from the car and hung it out.

Mang Yin said again: "The soup has been prepared, please ask my father to take a bath." ”

Mang Mao said: "Let's go to the warm pavilion to discuss the matter." ”

Mang Yin was puzzled. Mang Mao ignored him, and only invited the two gentlemen to go to the warm pavilion. Mangin had to follow.

Entering the warm pavilion, the four of them sat in order. Mang Mao said to Mang Yin: "I am afraid that the grain left by Chen has been shipped out, and if it is not intercepted, it will be plundered by the Qin people." You change your clothes, follow Mr. Huzhong out of the city to Chenliu, be sure to intercept the grain cart, not to the beam. As for the disposal of grain trucks, when it comes to adaptation, how to deal with it, and Mr. Hu Zhong will consider it. ”

Mang Yin said: "Don't send it to the front of the battle?" ”

Mang Mao said: "If the situation is smooth, it will naturally be sent to the front of the battle." But when you are adaptable, you can't be stubborn. ”

Mr. Hu Zhong asked, "Why first!" ”

Mang Mao said: "Thanks to Mr. Fulfillment!" ”

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "The minister will not fail in his mission. ”

Listening to this book-like answer, Mang Yin was even more puzzled, and said, "Please make it clear to my father!" ”

Mang Mao said: "When I was young, you and Mr. Hu Zhong took a car to the Daliang Governor's Mansion, and made it clear that the grain at home was cut off, and they needed to go to the Chen Liu's fief to transport grain. However, the Liang Warrior is cut off from inside and outside. Please go out of the city with Captain Liang. ”

Although Mang Yin was still unknown, he still replied "Woo".

Mang Mao continued: "Where Captain Liang came out of is still a secret. After you leave the city, turn to the road outside the east gate and go straight to Chenliu, so you must catch up with the grain convoy and do not transport grain to the girder. ”

Mang Yin said: "Don't be lucky? ”

Mang Mao said: "Don't be lucky! Although there is a shortage of food at home, it can be coping with saving and moving. If grain is rashly transported into the dangerous city, it will be difficult to protect the unexpected. ”

Mang Yin said: "That...... ...... before the battle"

Mang Mao said: "If you can do it, you will temporarily return to Chenliu and gather the villagers to guard." Otherwise, listen to Mr. Hu Zhong's judgment. ”

Mang Yin held his hand and said, "Oh! ”

Mang Mao said: "The two gentlemen gave up a meal, went to bathe for the time being, and came to accompany each other when they were young." ”

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Don't dare to disturb the labor! ”

Mang Mao said: "Sir, why don't you have a meal!" Yin'er can accompany Mr., wait for Mr. Hu Zhong to change clothes and prepare the car after the meal, and then go to the Daliang Governor's Mansion together. ”
