The convoy approached the city gates, which rumbled open and the jack gates were raised. Because of the large number of onlookers, the gate guards divided them on both sides, leaving a passage in between, and themselves stood guard on both sides of this makeshift road, ready to drive away anyone who dared to enter.

Almost suddenly, a number of dog-beating sticks stretched out from the crowd and struck the soldiers in the back of the head accurately, and the soldiers fell to the ground without a sound. Su Jia, who had just caught up with the team, saw all this clearly, and was shocked, and just opened his mouth to shout, he was covered by a big man, held hostage and fell to the car, and heard someone shouting: "Don't worry, doctor!" At the same time, all the members of the mission were attacked, and they were all shut down and pressed against the wagons. The group quickly took over the convoy, and with a roar, the convoy quickly changed from slow to fast, then to galloping, and rushed out of the city gates, followed by a large group of ragged beggars, and galloped out of the city after the convoy.

The defenders on the city wall immediately realized that the situation was wrong, quickly lowered the jack gate, and shouted: "Close the city!" Sekijo! But he didn't hear an echo for a long time, and when he came down to look, he found that the doormen were all lying on the ground, and there were people around him watching the excitement. One of the defenders grabbed one of them and asked about the situation, and hurriedly went to the city to report, which also startled the captain, and led people down, while dispersing the crowd of onlookers, and at the same time sending people to report to the guards of the beam and his superiors; By the time Wei Qi, who was still drinking in the porter, got the news and came out to inspect, there were only ten unconscious soldiers left at the scene. Wei Qi was so anxious that he stomped his feet and shouted, "The messenger has been robbed, how is it good, how is it good!" Hurriedly ran back to the palace and reported to the King of Wei.

Coming out of King Wei, Wei Qi had a bottom in his heart: Long Yangjun said coldly: "Those who can defeat the warriors in the city with one blow can't do anything if they are not the disciples of Prince Wei." The king of Wei then ordered Wei Qi to take charge of this matter, in short, to grow his own ambition and destroy the enemy's prestige, and not to damage the morale of the city - now defending the city is more important than anything else.

Wei Qi went out of the palace and saw Mang Mao investigating the situation outside the Daliang Gate from a distance, and immediately found someone to tell Mang Mao that he was going to go to the palace to discuss matters and let Mang Mao wait in the house. Then I went back home and ate slowly, prepared a car, and headed for Mangfu.

At the time of the accident, Mangmao was also patrolling the city, but the focus was on the side of the south of the city facing the Qin army. When the city guards reported to him that Ximen had been attacked by the enemy, he almost fainted, but immediately realized that it was impossible: he did not find any surprise attack on Daliang by the Qin people. He immediately led the doorman and the guards to the gate of the girder. I asked the city guard about the situation, but I couldn't get the point; He ordered people to ask the surrounding people, and found that all the onlookers were nowhere to be found, and almost none of the people who came to watch were found. Mang Mao found that the guards guarding the city had dispersed the crowd of onlookers, and scolded the captain in anger, but in Daliang City, he didn't know if the captain had a background, so he didn't dare to fight. The stunned soldiers had not yet woken up, so Mang Mao ordered them to be carried back to the room first, and then interrogated after waking up.

Since he did not get any valuable information, he did not dare to enter the palace and did not know how to report it. When he was in trouble, Wei Qi sent someone to tell him to visit the mansion when he was young, and knowing that it was for this matter, he hurried back to the mansion and discussed with the guests first, so as not to be helpless when he got it.

After some discussion, Mangfu also came to the same conclusion: this must be done by Xinling Jun's subordinates, in Daliang City, there is this heart, this courage, and this ability, but this one, there is no other branch. After coming to this conclusion, Mang Mao's mood did not relax, but became heavier: If there is something to go out in the Xinling Monarch's mansion, as long as he gives himself a word, can he still refuse? Naturally, it should be! But the Xinling Junfu would rather make such a fuss than find himself, which is obviously not treating himself as his own, and even deliberately making trouble. - Why is that?

He took out this question and got a unanimous answer from the doormen: the lord thinks that he has nothing to do with Xinlingjun, but in the eyes of others, Xinlingjun is the one who took over the command of the army and stabilized the situation after the lord's defeat; But the general of this defeated army was not only not punished, but climbed to the head of Xinlingjun and became the commander-in-chief of the defense against the Qin army, directly leading Xinlingjun, who can swallow this breath!

The answers of the doormen were euphemistic, but the meaning was very clear, which made Mang Mao have nowhere to vent his anger: It turns out that in the eyes of the world, I am such a person? Could it be that this defeat was inevitable, but it exposed the sneak attack of the Qin army in advance? Not only did the King of Wei not hold him accountable for the defeat, but instead put the heavy responsibility of fighting the Qin army on my shoulders, doesn't this mean that although the King of Wei is young, he also has the wisdom to know people, and he knows that such a crisis cannot be solved by me?

As soon as he thought of this, Mang Mao unconsciously felt a kind of gratitude in his heart for meeting Mingjun: it seems that Wei can stay for a few more years, and there is no need to rush to find a way back; Between the King of Wei and the King of Xinling, it can be slightly biased towards the King of Wei and suppress the power of the King of Xinling. He looked at the doorman in front of him, there was almost nothing worthy of friendship, and the words in his heart naturally could not be spoken; And although these people said it euphemistically, it was obvious that these words were the words in the hearts of these people, and they also clearly regarded themselves as a poor person and a loser who was pushed to the forefront by a faint king who didn't know what to do. "Rotten wood can't be carved!" Mang Mao thought indignantly, that group of people had followed him for so many years, and they hadn't grown at all, and they didn't even have confidence in themselves! If it weren't for the fact that there were no suitable candidates, they would have been kicked out long ago.

Although he thought so in his heart, his face was still sincere: "Gentlemen give advice, and suddenly get rid of foolishness." Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and in terms of temporary success or failure, it is also the opinion of a real villain. However, the Tao is not the same, and there is no need to explain it. When Wei Xiang arrives at a young age, he will also discuss the attack on the envoy of the Great Liang, and Mr. will have something to teach me! ”

The doormen all said: "Push it to Xinling Jun Keye." ”

Mang Mao sneered: "No. Those who believe in the monarch of the tomb, the words of speculation can be discussed in the temple! May it be second! ”

The doormen said: "You can push it to Yousi, in order to do its best!" ”

In the midst of everyone's discussion, Mr. Che You suddenly said: "The envoy was attacked, and the stake was not small, so why not save his life and plan far?" What is the one who draws from what he does? ”

Mang Mao arched his hand and said: "I wish to hear Mr. Wen's teaching!" ”

Mr. Che You said: "Doctor Xu Jia, Dr. Wei Wangzhong, the prime minister has been in foreign affairs for several years. Today, he makes Han and bears the heavy responsibility of his family and country. In the event of an attack, there was no soldier to help? Why? ”

Mang Mao said: "The doctor was attacked, he was not an external enemy, but an internal thief, and he had his own division, what is the general?" ”

Mr. Che You said: "The king gave the general an axe and swore that 'outside the general, the general is the master', how can the general be responsible?" ”

Mang Mao said: "Sir must have something to teach me?" ”

Mr. Che You said: "Wei Xianglai, if you talk about this, the general will not talk about the thief, but the matter of the messenger can also be said." ”

Mang Mao arched his hand and said: "Mr.'s words are very good for me, and I am very taught!" ”

Mr. Che You said: "Brother Wei Wang, brother and brother, it is not something that the foreign minister can predict. Wei Xiang, the Wei family, may be intermittent or unavoidable. May the Lord stay out of the matter. ”

Mang Mao said: "What does Mr. think, what is the meaning of the trip to the Gongzi's Mansion?" ”

Mr. Che You said: "Showing respect on the outside, but not being subordinate on the inside, how can he be there!" "In the middle of the conversation, someone may come to report that Wei Xiang is visiting. Mang Mao nodded and said, "It's just the right time." Please enter the lobby and let me change my clothes. Everyone dispersed, and Mang Mao went to the back house to change clothes. The family went out, welcomed Wei Qi to the hall, laid the table, took out a jujube plum, put it on the case, and asked Wei Qi to use it for his own use and withdraw by himself. Wei Qi waited leisurely, occasionally taking a date or a plum from the case to eat, enjoying himself. After a long time, Mang Mao turned out from behind the screen, and was anxious to bow in front of Wei Qi again: "How dare you work for Wei Xiang, but there is a call, dare not obey!" ”

Wei Qi replied in the banquet: "The affairs of the DPRK and the Central Committee should be entrusted to the general, how dare you call it a labor!" ”

After the ceremony was over, Mang Mao did not go to the main seat, so he sat down in Wei Qi's banquet, stretched out his hand and took a plum and put it in his mouth, and asked: "Made by our house, can it be delicious?" ”

Wei Qi said with a smile: "I didn't know that in the general's mansion, there is such a smell!" Sooner or later, you're going to have to disturb! ”

Mang Mao said: "The world knows the peach and plum and says, but I don't know that the jujube and the plum are also comparable." - but not in the end! The two looked at each other and smiled.

Mang Mao preemptively said: "In the city of Daliang, thieves suddenly appeared. Where the minister's office is, he has to be busy, and Wei Xiangxing is not responsible. ”

Wei Qi said: "But the matter of the raid envoy? ”

Mang Mao said: "Wei Xiang also knows? ”

Wei Qi said: "The middle doctor said goodbye to the temple, I am fortunate to be on the side, how can I not know." ”

Mang Mao immediately left the table exaggeratedly and said: "May Wei Xiang say it in detail!" The ministers searched in many ways, but they couldn't find any way, and they only got along in Wei, wouldn't it be heaven to help Wei! ”

Wei Qi said: "What does the general want to know?" ”

Mang Mao said: "The doctor is also on this trip, Wei Xiangxiang and the resignation to worship the temple, I know that it must be outside the Daliang Gate." And the thief's trip is also outside the West Gate, only three or two miles away from the Daliang Gate, and Wei Xiang must know the details. ”

Wei Qi said: "Only three or two miles of land, I don't know the details." The doctor's visit to the temple has been completed, the convoy has started, and the doctor is behind. When the people outside the Daliang Gate looked around, there were no more people, and the Daliang guards were all inside and outside, and they were not allowed to see their faces. Ximen guards clean the street, but there is a place for a line. But when I saw the gate of the city opened, and suddenly the people were scattered, and I was amazed, and the people were scattered, and the convoy was gone, and the gate was closed. In a few days, the doorman of Daliang came to report that the messenger in the west gate was robbed, and all the cars, people and horses were captured. - I don't know the details! The general and the general will defend the city, and they will see something. ”

Mang Mao said: "I was patrolling the southern city, and suddenly I reported that the thieves in the west gate had robbed the car. He hurried to his place, but when he saw that the Ximen guards were all lying on the ground, he probed his nose and still had a breath, so he ordered him to be carried into the camp and interrogated after he was sued. asked the city guards, but they knew that there were more than 100 people, dressed up in various colors, or begging, quietly, killed ten guards, hijacked the convoy of people, and roared away. When the city guards the gate of the gate, the thieves have already gone out, and they must not be forbidden. ”
