When entering the door, they experienced a dispute over etiquette, and finally the two sides went through the court and ascended to the court with the courtesy of the guest and host. The guests of the Mang family gathered in front of the hall early, and when they saw the return of the Mang father and son, they automatically got off work in the hall. The hall has already set up a screen, and a shelf is set up in front of the screen in order to put the festival tiger talisman. These three holy relics were handed over to six pre-selected disciples, both delicate and sturdy, and these things were specially guarded by them in turn in the future. These six people first stood on the steps in front of the hall with three things, and Mang Mao and Wei Qi led the Mang clan and the guests to bow and drink wine at the bottom of the steps; Then Wei Qi presided over the installation of the three things. Six people stood on both sides of the shelf in front of the screen. After a busy time, Manghai was invited to dinner, and the sacred busyness stopped.

Mang Mao and Wei Qi's seats were placed in the warm pavilion, and the doormen were not in the same room with them, while the three sons of the Mang family were seated, poured wine, and waited below. After the two finished eating, the three sons took the table, put sake on the table for the two, withdrew to the outside room, and took turns to go back to the house to eat. Wei Qi said: "When the family arrives when you are young, you can tell you to wait in front of the hall." "The third son should be.

Mang Mao said: "The night comes to open the seal and the fire starts, and there is a will in the palace!" ”

Wei Qi said: "It's difficult, general. The king, Long Yangjun, mixed together. And a group of women...... Suddenly the flames burst into the sky,...... Words can't be said, words can't be said! ”

Mang Mao asked, "How is the side newspaper?" ”

Wei Qi said: "It is still pressed under the house, and a certain family has been ordered to send it immediately." ”

Mang Mao said: "Wei Xiangqi said it slightly. ”

Wei Qi said: "It is forbidden to enter on the day of unsealing, and there is nothing unusual. Unexpectedly, at dusk, the Qin people arrived, and the south post of the city first reported the enemy's situation, and Kaifeng followed suit. There was no news again. Sending out the investigation report everywhere, it is rare to be sure in the dark. The fire went out in the middle of the night, and it had fallen to open the seal. ”

Mang Mao said: "One night of fasting, I only heard the sound, but I didn't know the details. It is rare to be in the midst of all difficulties, the pillar is in the middle, although the ancient famous ministers, how can they be added. …… Dare to ask Wei Xiang, did the king mention the joke last night? ”

Wei Qi slapped his thigh and said, "If it weren't for the general's mention, Qi would have almost forgotten." Last night, Long Yangjun was on the side, how could the king reveal the word 'paragraph'. But the joke is hand-picked by the king, which is absolutely true. General Wan Qi was fulfilled. ”

Mang Mao said: "Wei Xiangzhi, a few days ago, it was agreed that he would face the enemy with large soldiers, use military soldiers, command his troops with the eldest son, fill the battle with the second son, and use the grain and grass with Ji Zi, in order to succeed." If you succeed, the merit will go to the joke, and if you fail, the blame lies with someone. And now the plan will be settled? ”

Wei Qi said: "What's the obstacle? ”

Mang Mao said: "Wei Xiang, please see, the Qin soldiers are about to open the seal, and they see that the seal has fallen, Qin Feng has reached the beam, the suburbs of the city are warned, and the city gate is closed." At this time, the soldiers outside the city have not had time to mobilize, and the soldiers in the city are not allowed to go out of the city, only the eldest son of the Mang clan was lucky to go out of the city last night, and the second and third sons are all in the city, and the soldiers are not prepared, so what is the war? ”

Wei Qi said: "The eldest son went out of the city yesterday with the festival talisman, and the general doesn't know?" ”

Mang Mao said: "The dog was approved by Wei Xiang yesterday, please go out of the city and lead the soldiers outside the city." At that time, the Qin people were still in the suburbs, and we could still arrange them calmly. Now that Qin is close to Daliang for fifty miles, what is the spare time to arrange troops. It's hard to even connect the villages outside the city! ”

Wei Qi sighed: "I don't expect the situation to be so erosive. So what is the general's strategy? ”

Mang Mao said: "Wei Xiang and forgive a certain outspoken crime. Qin broke the seal, which was unexpected. At this time, it is dangerous to send troops to attack the enemy, that is, to hold the city. According to a certain opinion, the matter of the paragraph is put aside for the time being, how about discussing the matter of sticking to it first? ”

Wei Qi said: "Stick to the big beam, thanks to General Weide, and what to do with Qi!" ”

Mang Mao said: "A certain and a gentleman, one will be the same as the other, how can Wei Xiang refuse!" ”

Wei Qi said: "But on the orders of the general, Qi obeyed." ”

When Mang Mao heard this, he immediately avoided the table and saluted: "In this way, the grace of a certain deep Dutch Xiangguo!" ”

Wei Qi also avoided the banquet and returned the salute, saying: "In the Taimiao, the king has declared that outside the palace, the general is the master." Qi who is also, dare not obey the general's order, He Enzhi has! ”

Mang Mao took the lamp on Wei Qi's case, turned around to pour wine, Wei Qi hurriedly shouted: "Who is Qi, who is Qi, dare to bother the general!" The sound alarmed Mangchen and Mangwei, who were waiting outside the door, and the two entered the door to salute, rushed forward, and poured wine for the two. Mang and Wei sat down, raised their wines, and drank each. The two sons of the Mang family poured it again. The two of them drank several glasses in a row, and they didn't feel red. Mang Mao ordered the second son to carry the wine urn to Wei Qi's seat, dismissed the two sons, and moved the food table to the same table with Wei Qi, poured one for each of them, and said: "Wei Xiang is a pillar of the country." A certain food party has to protect the leader, and it really depends on it! ”

Wei Qi also raised his wine and said: "The general has been recommended by the King of Qin to Wei, for more than 20 years, the first king relied on it, and the current king respects it. The scholars of the world are all regarded as models, and there are many people who copy paintings day and night. ”

The two of them each took a sip, and Mang Mao said: "Xiang Wei has been in charge of the country for ten years, and the king is still close to him, and there are many old people in the court." Now I have to be in charge of the soldiers, and I hope not to forget each other on a different day! ”

Wei Qi said: "Although Qi is Wei Zhou, his blood relationship is real, and he has no name. Entrusted to the palace, only chewing forage, but seeking the king's heart, obeying the king's wishes, and returning to the shrine after death, the ambition of life is enough! ”

Mang Mao laughed and said, "Wei is different! Who is the joke, and out of the country, the grace is long, how can it be endless! ”

Wei Qi was surprised when he heard this: "What is the joke, the general has to treat him so differently? ”

Mang Mao's eyes widened and said, "What a bully Wei Xiang! The people under the door, Xiangguo doesn't know! ”

Wei Qi said: "Duan Zi is really a living house, but he is supported by the king, and he has no deep friendship. May the general speak in detail! ”

Mang Mao said: "The joke is with a certain ignorant life, the joke is what is the virtue, how can a certain know!" Today, it is necessary for Xiangguo to say his virtue, and he will be hired only if he is good, and he will live up to the trust of Xiangguo. ”

Wei Qi grinned and said, "The general is bad." Qi Xiangri once said that Wang Dan asked for meritorious service, and he had to be in the arsenal, and if he didn't have the ability to lead the troops into battle, how could he be measured? ”

Mang Mao said: "There is a difference between the country. Xiangguo not only ordered a certain recommendation to be in the battle, but a certain person must get his affection, and Fang Shu got a recommendation. Don't become a straight book', Wei is close, the king of Wei is dependent, and he can lead the big task. Therefore, please ask for a comment under the stage of Xiangguo, so that I can deal with this matter! ”

Wei Qi was silent when he heard this, and Mang Mao said: "Could it be that Xiangguo has something unspeakable to hide, so I will ask Xiangguo to draft a recommendation, and a certain person should be a deputy." ”

Wei Qi seemed to suddenly come to his senses and said: "No, no, no, Qi doesn't speak, it's not that there is something unspeakable, it's really thoughtful." What the general said is very true, if he can't make a judgment, or if the evaluation is not accurate, he can stop the mouth of the world's soldiers. It's just that Qi and Duan Zi have a shallow relationship, and they don't understand anything about the military, so what comments can I give. ”

Mang Mao said: "So, but what should be done!" …… Mo Ruo, Xiangguo but his virtue is observed, a certain courage to test the words, if there is something wrong, there is Xiangguo advice. In this way, the party does not live up to the grace of the king, and the lower side does not live up to the trust of the country. May the prime minister be accomplished. ”

Wei Qi muttered again, and said, "The general's plan is very clever. is only rude and dull and reckless, and his words do not reach his meaning, for fear of losing the general's expectations. ”

Mang Mao said: "The matter has come to this, so we have to do it." If you can't submit the recommendation before the sunset, the matter of the joke will be suspended. ”

Wei Qi said: "Why is it in such a hurry? ”

Mang Mao said: "The General's Mansion needs to announce the primary office today. If the joke is not among them, how can he see his talent and virtue and make great contributions? May Xiangguo help me! ”
