Under the leadership of their respective military lieutenants, the government soldiers were assigned to each city to take over the defense. Mangchen will be full of a collar and distribute them one by one to the elders and officials of each li, gate. Mang Mao stood quietly in front of the car, staring at everything in front of him, expressionless, unable to see the waves in his heart.

Liang Wei Gongzi walked down the steps, went to the front of the car and said, "Please enter the mansion!" ”

Mang Mao replied slightly, but reprimanded Manghai and Mang Wei behind Gongzi: "You can wait for Gongzi to tithe!" He turned to the lieutenant again: "The old lieutenant assists the son, and the merit is great!" ”

The lieutenant said: "How dare the old minister, but to protect the son, this wish is enough!" ”

Mang Mao looked at the military officer behind him again: "How do you settle down?" ”

Liang Wei Gongzi stepped forward and said: "The soldiers went out with the general before and after the army, and they are still outside the Great Wall; Although there are three armies on the left, the center and the right in the city, there are only 20,000 soldiers. After discussing with the three generals, the three deviations were directly transferred out of the city, and in addition to the three deviations, Wei Guang, the general of the right army, was invited to go out of the battle to lead the battle. ”

Mang Mao said: "Gongzi led the three sides out of the battle, and the right army two sides wanted to come out together, dare to ask where the other side came from?" ”

Liang Wei Gongzi said: "The center of the main town of the Chinese army cannot be left for a while, and the other deviation is the left army and the right deviation." ”

Mang Mao said: "This is very good. Turning to the left general: "The center is difficult to move, and all the small and big things in the city depend on Qing." ”

General Zuo said noncommittally: "But follow the general's orders." ”

Mang Mao asked: "What can the Chinese army do?" ”

Liang Wei Gongzi said: "The Chinese army is ruled by the king, and the left and right sides are out of the king's house. The lieutenant's house really only dealt with weapons and grain. ”

Mang Mao said: "In this way, there is only one side left in the city. ”

Liang Weigongzi's heart was not good, and he hurriedly said: "There are enough soldiers and civilian troops in the city, and there is no shortage of grain and weapons, and there is no mistake." ”

Mang Mao nodded noncommittally, and then asked Childe, "Where is Childe going?" ”。

The lieutenant replied, "The prince will go to the east gate to supervise the formation." ”

Mang Mao asked the people who were following Gongzi, "All the princes are also the same?" ”

It was the lieutenant who replied on his behalf: "This is the entourage of the family and the housekeeper, and he will go out with the son." generals, deviations, lieutenants, Simas, etc., there are those who go out of battle; Those who do not go out of battle are just to see them off. ”

Mang Mao said: "This righteousness is very good. A certain is willing to go to the city with the son to be strong. ”

The lieutenant stopped, "No." The general is in the hands of his family and country, how can he take risks. In addition, if Zhong Gongzi is out of battle, and Ji Gongzi will lead the army, there will be no difference. ”

Mang Mao said: "Definitely." A certain is in the same dynasty as Liang Wei, and secretly promises to his heart. Acting for the son is not only righteous, but also private. Hai'er, Wei'er is not enough to take it, and I hope that the old man will learn a lesson. Hai'er is rude, the only courage can be used, and he can be used as a minions. ”

The lieutenant said: "The prince is determined, and the elite is forward, that is, by the governor of the child." ”

Mang Mao said: "If there is a violation of the order, it should be beheaded, and the whole army should be ordered." …… Be careful! ”

Manghai chirped. The lieutenant hurriedly explained: "Zhong Gongzi's trip must make great contributions, build a great cause, and live up to the hopes of the generals." ”

Mang Mao said: "But if you don't cause trouble and act according to the law, it is worth the trip!" How do you teach your children? ”

The lieutenant was stunned and couldn't answer for a while. Liang Wei Gongzi only couldn't hear it. Mang Wei replied: "Gongzi, Wei Lao and all the gentlemen have benefited a lot. ”

Mang Mao's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "You and other children, you must be cautious in everything when you first go through major events. Then he turned to the generals and said: "The dog is not in shape, I am willing to teach more lessons!" The two generals didn't know what they meant, and they all saluted.

The lieutenant stepped forward and said, "The prince is about to go to the city, and he is willing to finish and walk neatly." ”

Mang Mao said: "The prince and the princes of the Wei clan are at their own convenience, and I and the generals are waiting here, thinking that the prince is strong!" ”

The lieutenant saluted: "So, it's disrespectful!" So Liang Wei Gongzi and all the retainers and people left on their own, and the two generals exchanged glances and stayed.

When Liang Wei Gongzi and others entered the mansion, Mang Mao looked at the two generals with a pleasant face, and said, "The right general Wei is secretive, and he dares to ask for the name of the left general." ”

Zuo General saluted: "Subordinate Wei Shihe." ”

Mang Mao said: "The two generals are both Wei, dare to leave the royal family? ”

The second general exchanged glances again, and the right general came forward and replied: "Light out of the Marquis of Wen, and out of the Marquis of Wu." ”

Mang Mao changed his color and saluted: "It turned out that after the civil and military affairs, the Mang clan was disrespectful. The Mang's family is scattered in all directions, Meng Wei is selected, has to eat the kingdom, and is willing to be loyal to the second duke. ”

The second general hurriedly replied: "How dare the subordinates!" The general inherits Wang Weide, the general is Chinese and foreign, no nobles and no cheap, they all listen to orders, who dares to disobey. ”

The door of the captain's mansion suddenly opened, and the lieutenant led two servants to carry out an urn, put it in front of the mangmao car, and arched his hand: "An urn of sake to relieve the fatigue of the general." ”

Mang Mao said: "Son's battle, how dare you say nothing." Dare to borrow wine in return. Then he got out of the car, scooped up the wine himself, and handed it to the lieutenant first: "Heaven protects you, the captain is old and strong, and the prestige of the captain's mansion will be shown again." ”

The lieutenant resigned: "The bureaucracy is a retainer, how dare you accept the general's gift." ”

Mang Mao said: "The elder of the Wei Mansion is up to his duty. ”

The lieutenant had to take it and drink it all and said, "The old minister is unbearable, and the general loves him." ”

Mang Mao scooped another lamp, handed it to the left and right generals Wei He and Wei Guang, and said some routine remuneration, and then down were the captains and elders of the people's army at all levels. Mangchen, who had already finished sending the festival talismans, stood behind Mang Mao, while Wei Wei and the two servants of the Lieutenant's Mansion stood beside Mang Mao, and they all bowed to everyone casually. After a tour of wine, the urn has bottomed out, the door of the Weifu is opened, a car rushes forward, a doorman, a retainer, and a housekeeper follow, about twenty or thirty people come to the front of the Mangmao car, lined up. Liang Wei Gongzi was fully dressed and saluted in the car: "Praise the military aircraft Captain Boji, please give the order to go out!" ”

The generals, Mangchen, and the leaders of the people's army are also listed after Mangmao according to their ranks. Mang Mao bowed and said, "General Mang's congratulations to Uncle Wei!" Please be the precursor! He stepped forward on foot, led the head of the horse driven by Liang Weigongzi's car, guided him five steps forward, reached the center of the square, and returned to the car. The lieutenant also stepped into the car. Liang Weigongzi's car drove in front, and the general's car and honor guard were behind, rumbling forward. The rest of the generals and the civilian army followed on foot behind the car.

The four walls of the girder were originally guarded by the four armies on the left and right sides of the front and back; After the front and rear armies were transferred out, they were guarded by the left and right armies. The left army defending the southern city was closest to the enemy on the right, and the public discussion was not lightly moved. Only the other three sides were transferred out of the city. Usually, only a team of 100 people is arranged in the city to patrol and lookout, and the city gate is guarded by guards, but to maintain law and order, open and close the city gate on time, etc. The guards of the city are rotated at one time during the day and two at night, and one battalion is enough to guard every day, and the soldiers are not nervous. However, in wartime, the density of soldiers increased to one battalion on each side, and a team of crossbowmen had to be sent on the city gate, so the distribution of troops was not so abundant, and basically every soldier had to go to the city once a day. From the news of the defeat of Mangmao, Daliang entered a state of alert, it has been five days, and all the soldiers have to go to the city every day for one or two o'clock, day and night. Those whose homes are in the city can also go home to eat and rest, and those whose homes are outside the city are in difficulty: a few have relatives and friends in the city, and there is a refuge; A few conscientious officers may have placed some of their soldiers in the courtyard of their homes and let them do some of the chores for themselves; Most of them can only sleep under the city; If you don't have enough grain, you can only borrow money temporarily.

When Liang Wei Gongzi and Mang Mao arrived at the east gate, they saw such a number of staggering soldiers.
