When the big drum sounded, at noon, the soldiers of each prefecture were all marching under the command of their respective heads of families, and they were arrayed. Hearing the sound of drums in the city, he immediately sent someone to inquire and learned that it was the general of Xinbai who went to the school field. When the head of the family heard this, although he said that "outsiders have no knowledge", he also ordered people to speed up preparations.

Although Mang Mao made a big show and discharged five times, there were not many Mang's retainers, and there were only dozens of disciples under him, and they followed behind the drum car, but there were only 100 people, and the momentum was not prominent. After entering the school grounds, he took down the curtain from the cart that came with him and built a shogunate next to the shogun. Mang Mao invited Wei Qi and Duan Zigan to enter, and only Mr. Che You accompanied him into the family, and all the three sons of the Mang family were on standby outside the scene. The car was uncontrolled, and the twelve doormen insisted on the festival charm, each riding a horse, and scattered to the various prefectures to convey the call order, and then sent a special message to the Great Liang Captain's Mansion to recruit all the soldiers in the city. After the order was issued, Mangmao set up a bamboo pole on the field, just waiting for the middle of the day. He sat down and talked with Wei Qi, Duan Zigan and Mr. Che You in the curtain.

When he was young, the doormen who sent orders everywhere reported that the prefectures had received the order and would send soldiers to help the war, only the Xinling Junfu reported that the head of the family was outside, and there was no one in charge of the family, so if you want to send troops, you can only report to your brother first. After hearing this, Mang Mao had to smile: "Report to Lingjun's brother? Easier said than done! With a wave of his hand, the doorman stepped back. Joke about it, Xinlingjun is the king's younger brother, and if he reports to his brother, isn't that just reporting to the king of Wei? The government said that there was no owner in the family, and it was not all prevarication: Xinlingjun himself was away and had not yet married a wife, so naturally there was no wife or son at home; Brothers and sisters, you know. Although this is an excuse, it is also leaky, making Mang Mao helpless.

In the middle of the day, Mang Mao ordered the drums to gather the army. Manghai led a few retainers to the big drum, and the big drums on three sides beat together, and the sound shook the whole city.

After the drum was finished, Mangmao left the tent and led everyone to stand under the bamboo pole to observe the time of day. The soldiers who lived at home began to enter the school field one after another. A moment later, the two-way drum sounded. The streets of the city were crowded with soldiers from all over the country, each armed with a weapon, marching towards the school grounds. The dust in the city is everywhere, gathering over the city, and it will not disperse for a long time. After another moment, the three-way drum sounded, the school field was wide open, and the soldiers of various prefectures entered one after another, and at this time, the soldiers who entered first had already lined up in formation in the field.

Originally, there were not many military soldiers living in the city, but since the defeat of Beipi, the Liang War Police and military soldiers from all over the country have been concentrated in all parts of Daliang, with about 30,000 people. At the time of the war, the guards and guards of each gate had already occupied a lot of manpower, and there were only one or two thousand people who could go to the school field in the city, and many of them were old and weak. Mangmao made him stand in front of the general's platform and defend the general's platform. When the soldiers of each prefecture entered, the army in front of the general was neat and tidy, and the armor was distinct, which was quite impressive. At the opening of the flag gate, Mang Mao, Wei Qi, and Duan Zigan stood in front of the sun pole, and behind them were the three sons of the Mang family. Next to the shogun, there was another group of well-dressed people, guarding a shogunate.

With the entry of the soldiers from various provinces, more and more people gathered in the field. The flags are unfurled, the soldiers are shining, and the clothes are neat, and they are becoming more and more invincible, so that the people in it feel strong psychological support. With the completion of the four and five drums, the school yard was already full of people. Although no one made a loud noise, there were many whispers, and there was no prohibition of it. But with the sound of a bell, all the noise fell silent. The three people standing in front of the pole had left at some point.

I don't know how long it has passed, or only for a moment, but it must have felt very long, and the low sound of the horn sounded; At the sound of the trumpet, the drum beat again. In the sound of drums and trumpets, Manghai holds the Yue, Mangchen holds the knot, ascends the platform from the steps, and stands on both sides of the platform. Subsequently, Mang Mao, Wei Qi, and Duan Zigan stepped onto the stage and settled in Taizhong. At the same time, a large pole was raised behind the flag gate. Then the sound of drums and trumpets fell silent.

Mang Wei stepped forward to salute, and he didn't know what he was talking to Mang Mao, so he turned around and gave the order, but no one heard him. But seeing the flag gate, twelve horsemen rushed out and scattered, and immediately the knight shouted: "All provinces sign up~!" Each prefecture registers~! "Twelve horsemen galloped through the whole formation and galloped back again. After each rider returned to the flag gate, there was another drum, and the heads of each family in the formation came to the front of the stage under the flag gate with their own books and lined up. After another drum, the head of the family under the banner stepped forward in order, reported his family and soldiers, and presented the book in his hand. When each head of the family stepped forward, Mangmao bowed and bowed, and left to salute again. The book was handed over to Mang Wei offstage, and Mang Wei put his hand back on a desk in front of the stage.

There were always two or three hundred heads of families who applied, and the registration lasted for more than an hour. During this period, Mangmao bowed almost mechanically, and then bowed again; Mangwei turned around, and then turned around again. Until the last head of the family finished presenting the book. On the desk behind Mang Wei, bamboo slips were piled up into a hill.

After the registration ended, Mr. Che You appeared in front of the stage unobtrusively and read out the name of the head of the family. Under the guidance of Mangwei, the head of the named family ascended from the steps and stood behind the three of them. These people are roughly the heads of the family at the top of the list, about twenty people. After the list was announced, the head of the family who was called to the stage stood on the right side, Mang Mao stood on the left, and Wei Qi and Duan Zigan stood in the middle. It was about under Wei Qi's singing and praise that Mangmao bowed to the heads of the families who came to the stage, and the heads of the families bowed in return. After the rest of the heads of the families saw the ceremony, they returned to their own homes. After another drum call, the head of the family who came to the stage was called to step down with Mang Mao and others. As a bell rang, the armies withdrew one by one.

The heads of the family who were called to the stage followed behind Mang Mao into the curtain, and their sons and nephews, family elders, and relatives waited outside the curtain, and some of the family heads with deep family backgrounds even gathered hundreds of people to follow them, and the relatives gathered outside the door were always more than 1,000 people, almost drowning the retainers of the Mang family. But they all seemed to know their identities and status, and honestly lined up in order, and there was no confusion.

The deliberations in the Veil did not last long, and were concluded after the functions of the heads of the houses were roughly assigned, and the parties agreed upon. The heads of each family came out and led their relatives back to their homes, only Liang Wei's joke was left. There are not many people in the Liang Wei Mansion, and they do not raise customers, only a few distant brothers are waiting outside the tent. After the other heads of the family took their relatives away, the tent was quiet. Mang Mao personally accompanied Liang Wei Gongzi out of the account, and said to the accompanying Wei clan: "Military affairs rely on Gongzi a lot, so I can only bother you to wait!" An elder of the clan stepped forward to thank him and said, "General Wei has to look at it differently, how fortunate is it!" ”

After a few words of conversation with his people, Liang Wei Gongzi returned to the tent with Mangmao. At this time, there were few people in the account, Mr. Che You was in the center, and Wei Qi and Duan Zi were on the right. After Mang Mao entered the tent, he bowed to everyone slightly, and walked straight to the left seat, while Liang Wei Gongzi sat down at the bottom of the duan.

After sitting down, Mang Mao said: "Don't you inherit the great king Hongen, build the shogunate and open the mansion, and temporarily lead the army." In the affairs of the shogunate, please help you, fortunately, don't shirk! ”

Everyone said in unison: "Lack of virtue is rare, and it is really unbearable." Only the general's order is obeyed! ”
