Lord Xinling took two steps back and bowed. Jin Bi toasted the two of them and drank a bowl himself.

Lord Xinling asked again: "General, how long does it take for our army to complete its formation?"

"Two or three days is enough!"

"If the Qin army attacks in the next two or three days, how will we deal with it?"

"Our army has retreated sixty miles, and the Qin army has not followed us. Even if the Qin army arrives now, our army has already set up its formation, so there is no need to worry."

"The Qin army is good at fighting, and Marquis Rang and Lord Wu An are world-famous generals. They have always used troops vigorously and unexpectedly. They often make surprise attacks and sneak attacks must be guarded against."

"Young master is very worried. I have sent out many scouts and scouts from afar. I can know the actions of the Qin army at any time."

Jin Bi suddenly said: "When the young master went out of the city, he found the Qin army moving near Guancheng, so I ask the general to be careful!"

Mang Mao's expression changed, and then returned to normal: "The Qin army scolded the princes and sentry detectives, but I failed to visit them all. If I disturbed the young master, I will be punished by death!"

Lord Xinling straightened his body, sat upright and saluted, saying: "I can go, and the enemy can come. Our army has arrived, and the defenses are not solid, so it is reasonable for some to scold the princes. I dare to ask the general, what happened to the Qin Dynasty in the past two days?

What are the military trends?"

Mang Mao seemed to take a breath and replied: "The scouts have discovered that the Qin army is still encamped in Beimang."

"There has been no movement for two days? But reinforcements have arrived?"

"The scouts were watching from a distance, and the Qin army's camp was filled with dust. It seemed that a large number of troops and horses were mobilized. The young master said that there were eight or nine of them."

"Then if the Qin army doesn't move out, are they waiting for something?"

"I haven't received the details yet. I can only think of three: first-class reinforcements, second-class food and grass, and third-class allies."

"Waiting for allies? From the north to Zhao in the north, to South Korea in the south, and from Wei to Qi in the east, who will form an alliance with Qin?"

"I have thought about it again and again. Zhao, Han and Qi will not form an alliance with Qin."

"Then what the Qin army is waiting for may be food and grass. If the Qin army receives food and grass aid, how can our army fight against the Qin army?"

"It is no less than six hundred miles from Hangu to Beimang. It is impossible for Qin to send people to deliver grain. If grain and grass are raised, they must be collected locally."

"The 700,000 households in Luoyang, including all the richest people in the world, can easily acquire one and a half months of food and grass."

"As the prince said, Luoyang is a prosperous place in the world, but there are 700,000 rich people, who is easy to compare! In addition, the emperor's feet are unsightly, and cannot be taken by force, nor can they be taken by force, but can only be taken by market. And these people

You can’t do business without stripping off Qin Jun’s skin!”

Seeing that the argument was fruitless, Lord Xinling could only suppress his uneasiness and changed the topic: "Although the Qin army stopped at Beimang, it is only three or four days away from our army. It can take a day and night to attack.

Still can’t help but be on guard.”

Mang Mao replied: "Young Master is very considerate and as careful as hair. In my opinion, our army's movement in the past two days has been extremely dangerous: firstly, the distance is not far, Qin's army can breathe; secondly, the movement range is large,

The camp is unstable. Now the camp is set. It’s just a small adjustment, and it responds to the front and rear. The most dangerous time has passed. Just don’t take it lightly!"

Lord Xinling nodded and said, "What the general said is true. The night is over, and we see that the Qin army will not attack, so we can move camp at dawn. As long as the formation is tight, the Qin army will not dare to attack."

Mang Mao looked toward Geng Lu and saw that the hourglass was about to end, and he sighed: "It turns out that the long night is about to end! I don't want to talk to the young master, but he is so pleasant!"

Lord Xinling said: "Wuji has received a lot of lessons, and he doesn't realize that the night is coming to an end!"

Mang Mao said: "Young master, after taking a short rest, it will be time to raise the army. At that time, all the generals will come to pay homage, and they may not be able to rest."

Lord Xinling said: "Thank you, General. If you disturb the general, he will not be able to rest, and he will be uneasy!"

Mang Mao said: "How lucky I am to meet the young master!" After saying this, he went out of the tent and called an officer. It was none other than Mang Shen who was on an envoy to Daliang. He ordered: "Take the young master to meet Jin. The doctor went to the back tent to rest."

Lord Xinling and Jin Bi both stood up and bowed again, Mang Mao bowed and sent out the tent. The two followed Mang Shen to a tent. Mang Shen opened the door curtain and the two entered. Mang Shen saluted in front of the door and said: "General I ordered Shen to serve the young master, but the young master had to send him on an assignment, but Shen did not dare to resign."

The two men returned the greeting and said, "Young general, rest in peace and don't dare disturb me!" Mang Shen just withdrew.

The two of them looked inside and saw that the curtain was divided into two rooms by a brocade curtain. In each of the two rooms, there was a tall pile of straw, covered with a layer of straw mats and thin quilts and high pillows. The two of them bowed to each other. , each went to the upper bunk to rest. Not long after, Jin Bi snored loudly.

Although Lord Xinling was sore all over and felt dizzy, he could not fall asleep. His first military camp life deeply stimulated him. Although the straw was spread very thickly, it was still a little stuck; the cold air leaking in from the bottom of the surrounding curtains at this time It was also particularly bone-chilling; the patrol sentries passing by from time to time and the passwords ringing from time to time made it impossible for Mr. Xinling to sleep.

But Lord Xinling's pain did not last long: soon drums sounded outside the curtain. Dong-dong-dong, dong-dong-dong,...

Lord Xinling and Jin Bi sat up at the same time, adjusted each other's clothes and armor, and walked out the door. They met Mang Shen who was rushing in.

Seeing that the two of them had gone out, Mang Shen hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The general is waiting in the tent to welcome you."

Jin Bi returned the greeting: "Please lead the way."

Mang Shen led the way, followed by the two men, and came to Mang Mao's big tent again. Mang Mao was fully dressed and stood at the entrance of the tent, looking majestic. A group of soldiers lined up on the left and right, guarding them with halberds. The two remained silent. Follow Mang Shen to Mang Mao and stand next to him.

I saw soldiers from all the camps gathered in the square in front of the tent. Those with armor and armor, holding halberds and spears, were naturally military soldiers; those wearing thin armor, even with no armor, and holding various sticks were undoubtedly soldiers who were suffering from the famine everywhere. The square in front of the tent was not big. There were only about a thousand people lined up, about half of whom were soldiers.

As soon as the drums were played, the queues were arranged in the square very neatly. The place was very quiet, no one made a sound, which made Lord Xinling very satisfied: "Mangmao is still very strict in managing the army!"

Soon the second drum sounded. A roll call was played from each team; after the roll call, the call was reported step by step. After the second drum was completed, an officer walked ten feet in front of the tent and said loudly: "All ten soldiers of Zhonghu camp are here!"

Gradually, all the battalions of the Chinese army arrived and reported that their soldiers were all present; then came the left and right generals who were further away.

Mang Mao brought the generals into the tent and sat down one by one. Mang Mao himself took out the tiger talisman again in front of everyone, and it matched the tiger talisman carried by Lord Xinling. Knowing that the army had changed its commander, all the generals were stunned. Lord Xinling was deeply seated. After giving a gift, Jin Bi said: "When the matter is urgent, your Majesty will send General Mangmao back to the capital to conspire with the ministers to deal with the aftermath. The army will be handed over to Wei Gongzi Xinlingjun Wuji for the time being."

Lord Xinling bowed again from his seat, turned around and nodded to Mang Mao. Mang Mao then said: "According to the order of the young master, the division of the armies has been decided. All generals will obey the order!"

All the generals sat up together with serious faces...
