The three sons of the Mang's family and most of the guests were ordered to leave, and the court was much more leisurely. Mr. Che You said, "The minister also went down to prepare." ”

Mang Mao said: "Please come to the court, sir, I have something important to ask for." ”

Mr. Che You got up and went to the hall with Mangmao. Although it was not yet dark, the sun had already set, and there was no light in the hall, so it was a little dark, and the two stopped in the shadows.

Mang Mao said: "Who does Mr. need to bring with him to help him here?" ”

Mr. Che You said: "The Lord doesn't need to come to the door, as long as the chivalrous people help." ”

Mang Mao said: "I have heard the name of a chivalrous man for a long time, and I don't want to have a relationship with Mr., I hope Mr. will introduce one or two!" ”

Mr. Che You said: "Non-ministers dare to be self-dictatorated, and the way of chivalry has its own fate." If there is no fate, even the other side does not know. The lord admires chivalry, and the ministers pay tribute. ”

Mang Mao said: "In this way, there is Mr. Lao." Mr. has the help of chivalrous guests, everything will be done, and there is no worry. Tomorrow at noon, wait for Jiayin. ”

Mr. Che You said: "I will live up to the trust of the Lord." ”

Mang Mao said: "According to Mr. Ming, tonight and tomorrow morning, can something happen?" ”

Mr. Che You said, "What did the Lord say?" ”

Mang Mao said: "But according to what Mr. saw." ”

Mr. Che You said: "The Qin army has been trapped in Kaifeng for nearly a day, but there is no action, and there will be no police at night." Although the intention is worrying, there is no safety at the moment. The minister goes to Kaifeng to find out the truth, and he will not miss something. As for the affairs in the city, the various prefectures are intertwined, and although they are not convinced, as long as they are relieved, nothing will happen. ”

Mang Mao said: "I am very worried about the Liang Captain's Mansion. ”

Mr. Che You said: "Although the Great Liang Captain's Mansion does not come out of the runes, it seems to be a constraint, but in fact it may not be. There are only more than 10,000 soldiers left in the city, and they have their own distribution, and it is difficult to move suddenly. The Lord wants to use the military soldiers as backup, but it is difficult to get his wish, so it is better to rely on the people's army. ”

Mang Mao said: "What is the way of the Imperial People's Army? ”

Mr. Che You said: "The people's army is divided into three armies: strong men for the first army, strong women for the first army, and old children for the first army. Each according to the family, not a little divided, then life and death depend on each other. Where there are fifty steps, ten strong men, twenty strong women, and ten old and young people are used; If you are in a hurry, you will use 100 strong men, 200 strong women, and 100 old children. Where there are 4,000 steps in Daliang City, 3,000 or 4,000 men, women and children are enough, and if it is urgent, it is only 40,000 people, of which there are no more than 10,000 strong men. There are 100,000 households in Daliang City, and merchants, servants, and prisoners are outside. Take turns to go up to the city, and you will be safe. May our Lord not be troubled. ”

Mang Mao said: "Mr. is clever, and I am stupid." So useless and useless? ”

Mr. Che You said: "In the palace, in the streets, in the treasury, the important points in the city, and guarded by military soldiers, there will be no one who dares to offend." If the military guards maintain the law and order, there will be no one who dares to make an uproar. Take it as a confidant, and don't have to take it as a minion. ”

Mang Mao said: "The rules of this martial arts pawn are also feasible even if there is no Liang Wei Jie Fu!" ”

Mr. Che You said: "My lord is wise! The city is slightly decided today, and the ministers will retire, and see you tomorrow! ”

Mang Mao said again: "Mr. Jiayin!" The two exchanged salutes and went down together, and Mr. Che You resigned. There were still twenty or thirty guests left in the court, Mang Mao called the old man, ordered the strong men to dress up, and assigned them to guard the royal positions one by one, especially Sima Tang, and specially arranged fifty family strongmen, from the gate to the hall, all of them were on duty. After the arrangement of Jiazhuang was completed, he took the doorman, with the Jieyue Jiance, lamps and torches, and a product, entered the west courtyard and stopped in front of Sima Hall. At this time, the sky was dark, and the moon appeared in the east. Mang Mao saluted the guests again, and said: "So far, it has reached the army, and the edge is only between the eyebrows, I hope that all the gentlemen will not think of life and death, and go to the national disaster together!" ”

The guests replied: "Dare not obey the order!" ”

The north gate of the east city of Daliang is Mingyi Gate, because it is close to the bazaar, far away from the palace, it is usually a place where the three religions and nine streams gather, and now because of the soldiers, there are no pedestrians, only the military guards patrol around.

The doorman, like the post officer, is a petty officer, with ten soldiers under his command, who is responsible for the security of the gate area in peacetime, as well as daily management, and leads his troops to be on standby in wartime. Yimen Wei Hou's family, claiming to be surnamed Ying, is called Hou Huan, and no one knows his name, or there is no one at all. Over fifty years old, he is also in good spirits, and the wrinkles on his face show the vicissitudes of the years, but the well-proportioned and firm figure is no less youthful and strong. No one knows when he became a warrior, how he became a janitor, or why he became a janitor at such an age.

The guards have a guardhouse, just as the postman has a post house. Like the inn, the guard house is usually inhabited by the guards, and the guards only come to the guard house to temporarily gather and receive tasks when they are on duty. Now Hou Huan is staying in the guardhouse. He had no family, no servants, and was alone, feeding himself. Or if there is a soldier without a family, he is willing to stay in the house, give him a hand, and then he can eat for nothing. In three or five months, a year and a half, their conditions improved, they rebuilt their homes, and then they returned to themselves; Or transferred to another part, it was inconvenient to come and live, so I left. One after another, in twos and threes, I don't know how many people have lived in Hou Huan's house, and these people seem to all think of Hou Huan's goodness.

Mr. Che You left Mangfu, went out of the inner gate, and hurried northeast to Yimen. Along the way, he encountered many military soldiers, but there was a festival charm of Mangfu, and the passage was unimpeded all the way. When they arrived at the Yimen Guardhouse, Mr. Che You knocked on the door, and then heard footsteps. The one who opened the door was a sturdy soldier, and when they saw Mr. Che You, they felt like each other. The warrior asked, "Where is the gentleman?" Mr. Che You said: "Old friend Che, worship the Yi guard." The martial artist said: "It turned out to be Mr. Che, please wait." "Turn around and enter the door. When he was young, Hou Ying came out and saluted: "What a wind, Mr. Che is here!" He welcomed Mr. Che You into the door.

There were several soldiers sitting under the steps in front of the court, and when they saw the guests, they all stood up to greet them. Hou Huan introduced: "These brothers are locked up in the city, they can't go home, and they live in the house. Mr. Che, a certain old friend. The two sides saluted. Because Mr. Che You was still dressed as a scholar, the soldiers were quite restrained, and Hou Huan didn't say much, and directly welcomed Mr. Che You into the main house.

Entering the house, Hou Huan removed the smile on her face and said, "It's so urgent, why is Mr. here?" ”

Mr. Che You said: "If you want to open the seal, welcome the order and the captain." ”

Hou Huan said: "It's a big and difficult thing, and it's a shame that you can get out!" ”

Mr. Che You said: "If there is no commander, it is difficult to understand the matter of unsealing." ”

Hou Huan said abruptly: "Where is it difficult to understand the matter of unsealing? ”

Mr. Che You said: "When will the Qin soldiers arrive, when will they attack; How to defend the seal and how to fall. ”

Hou Huan said again: "You should open the sealing order, can the lieutenant know?" ”

Mr. Che You said: "Captain of a city, how can you not know?" ”

Hou Huan said: "As a certain word, the opening of the seal order, the captain gathered all the women to fight, resulting in the fall of the city, can you take it seriously?" ”

Mr. Che You's face was red and he couldn't speak.
