Zhang Yu sent a doorman out of the city to report the news, and when he looked into the court, only a few doormen gathered at the bottom of the steps to gossip. Everyone else went back to their rooms to rest. When they saw Zhang Yan come in, they all stood up; But I saw Zhang Yu stop a doorman and explain something. It was far away, and his voice was small, so he couldn't speak clearly, but the last sentence was heard clearly: "If it's inconvenient to speak, you can say it to Mr. Zhongyue." "They all stopped. When the doorman left, Zhang Yu walked over, and they continued to walk forward.

The two sides came together and bowed. Zhang Yu only decided to tell the truth to these people for a moment, and said: "The military envoy has come to report, and the Qin people are about to attack. The doctor of Jin contempt reported to the king and wanted to transfer troops to the emperor. ”

All the gentlemen were shocked and said, "The Qin people are coming!" ”

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Doctor Jin has already transferred troops to the Imperial Palace, don't worry, Mr. Zhu." Mr. Yi has been sent to report to the king, but the king is on the labor army, and it is inconvenient to shake it. When the king has not returned, the gentlemen must be calm and calm, so as not to shake the morale of the army. ”

One gentleman said, "What the gentleman said is true." But if the king has not returned, how should the affairs in the city be paid? ”

Zhang Yu said: "For things in the city, there should be an order from the Jin Contempt Doctor to Si Mang. When I was young, I visited the camp again to find out what was going on. ”

Zhumen said: "Oh! ”

Zhang Yu said a few more words, and went out to find Si Mang again.

After another loud announcement, Si Mang came out very strangely, welcomed Zhang Yu into the back house of the camp, and said, "Mr. goes and returns, there must be someone to teach me?" ”

Zhang Yu said: "Si Dejin contempt for the doctor? ”

Si Mang was stunned for a moment and said, "Not yet." ”

Zhang Yu said: "An envoy has come to report that the Qin people are moving the camp, and there is a tendency to offend me." The king was still in the labor army, and he couldn't do it, so he temporarily paid everything to the doctor of Jin. I'm afraid that the doctor has an order, so I came to ask for an ear. ”

Si Mang seemed to have expected it, and said, "It's the right time." ”

Zhang Yu said: "What do you mean? ”

Si Mang said: "I have been in Huayang for three days, and the Qin people have come to attack, and it is the right time. ”

Zhang Yu said: "Why was it at that time? ”

Si Mang said: "The minister thinks that the Qin people will visit our army for one day; The Ming army is virtual and real, one day; Divide the camp, one day. It is also three days. ”

Zhang Yu said: "It's all in Si Mang's calculations, and the true gods are also counted." Since Si knows that the Qin people are coming, he must have a strategy to retreat from the enemy. ”

Si Mang said: "Although our army is 100,000, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers who can fight, and they think it is sharp." The strong followed, and thought it was helping. The old and weak followed, taking it as a trend. The rear army is to protect Huayang, and there is no place for it. ”

Zhang Yu said: "At night, there is an enemy attacking the rear camp through the arrays, why not? ”

Si Mang said: "There are only hundreds of enemies, and the ministers are willing to break them for a while." The night is not a bluff. ”

Zhang Yu said: "What the division said is true. Now the doctor has not yet ordered what should be done in the city, and he is willing to order it. ”

Si Mang said: "How dare the minister! May I attach Mr. after that. ”

Zhang Yu said: "It's a little cheap, I don't know how to do business, and I want to be in charge of the overall situation." ”

Si Mang said: "The minister would like to ask the servants to tell him, but what?" ”

Zhang Yu said: "May the division take the lead and do it." Please retreat. ”

Si Mang said: "No need. Just as Mr. is going to take responsibility, how can he say goodbye. ”

Then he went out of the front hall and said to a military envoy: "Please come to the camp to discuss matters!" ”

The envoy should leave with a bang. Zhang Yu stood behind Si Mang, looking at the barracks in front of him, and sure enough, none of the soldiers entered the barracks, they all carried crossbows outside the camp, and sat on the ground according to their ranks. Zhang Yu sighed that Si Mang had a good way of organizing the army, and these commanders who were drawn between the ranks could be used happily. Thinking that the guests under Xinling Jun were incompatible with each other, he felt more and more that Si Mang was very human.

The two men who were in the camp came first and stood in front of the steps. Si Mang said: "Have you seen Mr. Zhang? ”

The two pawns saluted Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu wanted to lower his rank and return the courtesy, but Si Mang stopped him: "Mr. doesn't have to, the courtesy is not inferior to the courtesy, and the courtesy is also." Zhang Yu had to avoid the side.

Shaoqing, the second pawn in the other camp also arrived, and Si Mang was also introduced to Zhang Yu. Then he said: "Please Mr. Raise the account." Zhang Xuan even said, "How dare you." Si Mang said: "Military salutes are not entered into the country, and national salutes are not entered into the army." In this battalion, sir, the general's office is in charge. Then he introduced Zhang Yu into the hall, and asked Zhang Yu to sit in the center, sit on one side by himself, and the four pawns sat on both sides. Si Mang saluted Zhang Yu and said, "The five pawns of the camp, except for the defenders of the city, have all arrived. Please order! ”

Zhang Yu returned the salute and said: "Si Ke acts cheaply!" ”

Si Mang turned around and said to the four pawns: "Today, Mr. Zhang has an order, the Qin people have the tendency to offend me, and each battalion must prepare to defend against the enemy." This camp guards Huayang and must not slack off. Today, in addition to the guards on duty, the other soldiers are also used to prepare equipment, just as in wartime. Sentry on time. ”

The fourth pawn Bo Qi arched his hand and said: "Oh! ”

Si Mang said: "When the order of the Chinese army is young, it will come, and when the deadline comes, it will be able to fight!" ”

Uncle Pawn arched his hand again and said, "Oh! ”

Waving his hand to send out the four pawns, Si Mang said to Zhang Yu: "What do you still have orders, sir?" ”

Zhang Yu said: "I wish to hear Si Reckless's strategy but the enemy's strategy." ”

Si Mang smiled slightly and said, "In front of the two armies, all the plans are useless, but the courage is ear. Dare to ask Mr. Do you have to go through a battle? ”

Zhang Yu said: "But it's just a child's beating." ”

Si Mang said: "The same is true for the ministers. But when I heard it from the elderly, the enemy came all over the wilderness, the dust flew, the horses roared and the chariots galloped, the earth shook, and the sky was colorless, which had the power to shake the mountains and move the mountains. At that time, too, those who can't wave their hands, can't move their feet, and even feces and urinate without knowing it, and so on. The bells and drums are like thunder and are not heard, and even the halberds are added without knowing it, and there are even those who die before the enemy arrives. Secondly, those who control the strings without stretching, wield the halberd and are powerless, and even collapse before the enemy arrives. None of this can be done by strategy. ”

Zhang Yu said: "Dare to ask what is the strategy to provoke it?" ”

Si Mang said: "But the combination of grace and power, and the rewards and punishments are clear, how can he be!" ”

Zhang Yu said: "I have to sleep every day, and I am on duty every day; During the stroke, the armor can be dissolved and lying down, but the division will not be disarmed. How do you sleep? ”

Si Mang smiled and said, "How can Mr. know how to be reckless!" The soldiers went out of battle, and there was no survivor. When you are in battle, how dare you play child's play. ”

Zhang Yu said: "Si Nai is wrapped in armor and lying down? ”

Si Mang said: "How can you lie down, but sit and sleep." After speaking, he moved a few cases to his front and closed his eyes.

Zhang Yu said: "Si Zhongjun does his best to serve the courtiers, although the righteous people of ancient times, they can't be added." ”

Si Mang said: "What a foot, this daily also." The minister often sleeps three or five times a day, and his heart is always close to each other. ”

Zhang Yu said: "The king goes out to work in the army, should it be angelica?" ”

Si Mang said: "There is a gentleman here, He Laojun is working hard." ”

Zhang Yu said: "But I have thoughts, if the king returns, what should I do?" ”

Si Mang said: "The king is the king to supervise the army, and he is the key to the first army, so he should sit upstairs and watch the general break the enemy." and the main rear army, as strong as the three armies, 3,000 soldiers, can also do something. In short, it is mainly a strict formation. But if the army is firm and does not move, the sergeant will not advance. If you see danger, you can also see the opportunity to help. ”

Zhang Yu said: "Good! However, I have some thoughts, what is the law of using the people? ”

Si Mang said: "Mr. Su Wen is good at swords, and he is willing to say it with the way of the sword." The sword has a head, a stem, a grid, a ridge, and a blade. The sword is used, and the edge is no more than three inches; The body of the sword is also as short as a foot and a half, and as long as three feet. This is also used by the people. pawn, Feng also; The people, the body, the stem. ”

Zhang Yu said: "Honesty is also righteous, and I would like to hear the details." ”

Si Mang said: "There are five righteousness of the people: to win the public to strengthen the momentum, one also; Shout to boost morale, two also; Hunger and thirst for food, three also; was wounded and cured, four also; Shoot prisoners and scatter captives, five also. Seeing that Zhang Yu was still ignorant, Si Mang was also interested, and pointed to the case: "Husband Zhan, courage is also, this gentleman knows." The enemy is shaking the earth and the earth, and I am waiting for the battle, and the outnumbered are equal, then my heart can be fixed, and the enemy's spirit can be depressed; If you are outnumbered, you will lose your spirit. This is one of them. Frightened in battle, although the warrior is not avoidable, hoarse shouting, can shock his heart, can lift his spirit, can fight bravely, can be a will. This is also the second. When facing the enemy, or half a day, or a day, it is inevitable that you will be hungry and thirsty, and if there is food pulp in the rear battle, you can avoid it from time to time. This is also the third. Fighting in battle, there will be many people who are created, and they will abandon them, which will be the most demoralizing; If you get help from the rear and wrap the wounds, you can not only strengthen morale, but also reduce injuries. As for those who retreat alone and flee without a fight, they will not do anything under the eyes of everyone. Fourth, too. If the two formations are staggered, or there are intermittent formations and leaks, there will be civilian troops to support them, and the strikers have no worries. This is also the fifth. ”

After this explanation, Zhang Yu probably had a little idea of the confrontation between the two armies. He thought about it, changed the topic again, and asked, "In Si's opinion, will the Qin people commit it?" When is it? ”

Si Mang said: "The one who comes, will also." I am in the camp, the gas engine has moved, and I should respond to the opportunity. When is it ...... The minister has not been informed, so he does not know. What does Dr. Jin say? ”

Only then did Zhang Yu realize that he didn't say much to Si Mang, and he didn't know much, so he said: "The military envoy said that the Qin people moved to camp and had the potential to offend me, and there was no other excuse. ”

Si Mang said: "If you move the camp, there may be no battle today." or feast on soldiers every day for a war. ”

Zhang Yu said: "What is the battle? ”

Si Mang said: "The doctor must have his own strategy, but he can also follow it." ”

Zhang Yu said: "Your Majesty, the general also, or should you ask?" ”

Si Mang said: "The way of the soldier is one, or one is for the general, or one for the doctor, there are no two, and the way to defeat is also." ”

Zhang Yu said in horror: "Respectfully! ”

After a few more words, Zhang Yu resigned. Si Mang sent him out of the camp gate, and when he came back, he shook his head lightly and sighed, and whispered to himself: "The main soldier, you don't know about the military, would you rather mess around?" ”

After Zhang Yu returned home, he sent another doorman to the Chinese army to ask Dr. Jin about the situation at the front. Then I was idle, not knowing what to prepare, and feeling that I had nothing to prepare, as if I had to do something to feel at ease. Although it was already noon, the few people left behind were reluctant to go back to the room for a lunch break, as if they had a sense of security when they got together, and they chatted casually. At this time, the grain convoy returned.

Zhang Yu led all the guests to the south gate. The Lu brothers did not come back with them, according to Uncle Tang, they followed Lu Bojie to visit relatives. The doorman who had gone to report the news came back with him. It was hard to say anything in front of the coachman, and the doormen watched Uncle Tang command everyone to load ten more truckloads of grain and go to the next target.
