Si Sheng ignored the drums of the front army and arranged the training for each battalion on the right side of the rear army. An hour had passed. Fifty soldiers were appointed as instructors, and the remaining fifty served as pickets, inspecting each battalion one by one. Training situation, and timely correction of problems found.

Lord Xinling and his entourage stayed in the last battalion for training. Lord Xinling also followed suit, which had a huge shock to the whole camp.

After two rounds of inspections, Si Sheng asked the soldiers to sit down and rest.

Today's training content is just to familiarize yourself with flag and drum orders. The instructor will beat various simple drum sounds, and the soldiers will perform prescribed actions according to the drum sounds. Xinlingjun's team did not assign instructors, they just followed a group of civilian soldiers. Sharing the same instructor for training also made the soldiers feel extremely proud.

Although it was just basic movement training, Lord Xinling was already exhausted and sweating profusely. When the order to rest in place came, he, like many militiamen, slumped on the ground without grace, but was quickly shouted "" "Sit upright" and quickly stood up on his knees.

The instructor said: "You are an enemy a hundred steps ahead of you. It's hard to be alert at all times, let alone if you are not alert! Even if you feel sore, you can only rest for a while to regain your strength. When the enemy comes, you will fight; you can't be unprepared. If the enemy comes, you will be killed!"

After breathing for a while, Lord Xinling calmly listened to the sound of drums in the distance. It seemed that the battle had not started yet. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was already approaching the center line. "The people of Qin mostly go to war at noon, so there is no warning at this time." , I’m afraid there won’t be a fight.” Lord Xinling thought to himself.

When the sweat on the whole body gradually dried and the clothes on the body turned cool, the drumming started again. The second round of training began.

Lu Bo set off without breakfast after the drumbeat of the army was sounded. At noon, he flashed to the palace of Wei Gongzi in the palace. At dusk, the merchants of Daliang left the city one after another and went straight to Zhengdi... When Lord Xinling dragged his exhausted body back to Huayang City, Mr. Zhongyue told him that the first batch of grain shipped from Zhengdi had arrived.

Both things started smoothly, which made Mr. Xinling very happy. He drank a big bowl of porridge during dinner and still couldn't finish it. He felt that the porridge was extremely sweet.

The Qin people did not go out to fight today. Lord Xinling felt that this meant that the rumors in Daliang that the King of Wei wanted to use the hands of the Qin people to destroy Lord Xinling were nonsense. If the Qin people wanted to destroy this Wei army, they would take advantage of yesterday's victory. If we use our strength and attack continuously, it is possible to break through the Wei army's defense line and reach the gates of Huayang City. Waiting for the Wei army to lick their wounds before attacking again will have less effect.

After dinner, Lord Xinling invited the second son of the Mang family. After sitting down, Lord Xinling said: "Our army is alone in Huayang. Daliang and Qin are in harmony. How is Huayang? What orders does the general have?"

The two young masters looked at each other and said, "I haven't heard of it yet. If the king pretends to be a father and has an order, he will definitely pay the prince a down payment and not become a minister."

Lord Xinling said: "Now the people of Qin have abandoned the beams and are attacking me with all their strength. Our army is in danger. The second son can return to the country and report to the general. He will lead the army alone to fight the people of Qin. Even if he is defeated and dies, he will not care. It is necessary. Only follow the general’s orders!”

When the two young masters heard this, they all fell down and bowed to the ground, saying: "Why did the young master say such ominous words? I will follow you to the death and never come back even if I die a hundred times!"

Lord Xinling said: "If the military situation is like this, no one but the young master can know it. I hope the young master will use this military situation to reach the general and wait for it day and night. Don't let me down!"

Mang Hai said to Mang Chen: "You can return home and report the young master's affairs to the general. I will stay in the army and swear to die with you."

Mang Chen said: "If something happens, I will do my best. If the elder brother returns to the country and the younger brother stays in the army, then it is the right thing to do."

Manghai said: "I am not good at speaking. Every word I say is unclear and I cannot convey my meaning. When I return to the country, I will definitely mislead you! You are returning home."

Lord Xinling said: "You brothers are returning together. If you get the general's order, I would like to spare no effort and report to the army as soon as possible. I have chariots and horses in the garden, and you can take them back when you arrive."

The second son of the Mang family received the festival talisman at the mansion, went home and prepared, and set off overnight.

After seeing off the second son of Mang, Lord Xinling invited the other princes of Wei. They came with Wei Daliang. After Wei Daliang returned to the country, they did not go back with him, but stayed in the army to serve and accumulate military merit.

The four young masters sat down opposite to Lord Xinling. Lord Xinling said: "It's winter, are you wearing cold clothes yet?"

The four young masters all said: "I can't get close to you, and I can't entrust you with anything to repay my family."

Lord Xinling said: "The war is urgent, and you know it well. Although you have made great achievements, it is also the time of life and death. Should you return, or should you stay?"

The four young masters all said: "I am loyal to my country today. My young master is still in the army, how can I dare to return to my country! I would like to stay in the army."

Lord Xinling said: "In this case, the cold clothes must be sent. - I'm afraid the stalemate will last until winter! It's hard to entrust the soldiers to the entrustment, and the four young masters must return home on their own!"

At the end, Wei Zhe said: "I belong to Mr. Zhongyue, and I am responsible for getting grain and fodder in and out. I dare not abandon the military for personal gain. I hope all my brothers will do it for me!"

Lord Xinling said: "Although the military is urgent, we still have a few days of leisure, but why not?"

Wei Zhe said: "Every day I go in and out, even though it is small, I dare not miss it. Only when it is convenient can it be leveled off a little. If it is left alone for a few days, it may be difficult to level it off."

Wei Gaodao said: "Zhe lies down at night and gets up early, chanting in his mouth, and all the food is used up."

Lord Xinling said: "You have returned home not just for cold clothes. Daliang has negotiated peace with Qin, and Wei is its prime minister. Your father is in charge of the prime minister. Maybe you can know the details, which will be beneficial to the army."

Wei Zhe didn't speak at all.

Lord Xinling said: "When you return to the country, all the young masters should also take good care of the military affairs of Daliang. The army in Huayang is very large." He gave instructions one by one: "Young Master Gao, when you leave the Sima Mansion, what are your military affairs? Young Master Liang should also consult more.

The Dazai and his brothers were informed of the movements in the court. The princes of the people also understood the strategies for dispatching the camps and defending the country. When the princes returned to the country, they actually connected the court and the public, which had a great relationship. Their contribution to the military and national plans was not small. "

The princes bowed and said, "Here!"

The four young masters had breakfast the next day before leaving Huayang. At this time, Lord Xinling had already started the next day's training. By the end of the training, when they returned to Huayang, two more good news came: First, Mang

Shen is back; secondly, Dr. Jia sent Mr. Fang to report that the King of Han will meet in court tomorrow. The second batch of food from Zheng Di has also been delivered at noon.

Lord Xinling hurriedly summoned Mang Shen to see him. After he sat down, Mang Shen said: "Last night, my second brother returned home and reported that the war in Huayang was urgent. The young master was frightened. My father was very frightened. The second brother was incompetent and was punished and grounded. He sent his ministers to report.

Young Master, the general will be at court today to discuss the Young Master’s affairs. If the Young Master wants to return to the country, he has been ordered to be here. He will return to the country today without any hindrance! I will also obey the orders of the Young Master and will not return to the country."

Lord Xinling said: "Who will pay for the Huayang incident?"

Mang Shen said: "I will pay it all to Dr. Jin Bi."

Lord Xinling said: "A great man is a great man, and he is not alone in his ability. However, the young man is in the camp and does not know how to fight. Recently, the great man issued a 'teaching command', and all the camps were practicing, and I got what I wanted. So there is

Please, I would like to stay in Huayang, I don’t dare to claim credit, but I will be a soldier!”

Mang Shen said: "My father ordered me to leave the young master as he pleases, but follow the young master's orders! Since the young master is willing to stay in Huayang, this order will be stopped. The affairs of Huayang come from the young master."

"

Lord Xinling said: "Young Master Hai and Young Master Chen are brothers, but I am close in age to Young Master Shen."

Mang Shen said: "How lucky I am!"

Lord Xinling said: "How is the defense in Daliang City? I heard that the four gates are wide open, but you are not afraid of Qin's attack? How can the general defend it?"

Mang Shen said: "The peace talks between Liang and Qin have been launched recently. The Prime Minister of Wei is in charge of it. My father is young and I have heard about it. But the defense of Daliang city did not dare to relax. The Liang army scolded the marquis until it was unsealed; while the Qin army scolded the marquis as far as five miles away from Liang.

And yet. Although the city gates are open during the day, the defense must be tight; at night, the open fire is shining, and the hidden sentries are far away, all ten miles away. Moreover, the south city is close to the palace, so there is no room for loss. My father is worried all day long and dare not rest. But I want to ask for help.

The peace agreement was concluded early, and the Qin people left early."

Lord Xinling said: "What can we do about the peace talks?"

Mang Shen said: "The person who made the decision is the Prime Minister of Wei, so I don't know it yet."

Lord Xinling said: "Yu Dan tells what he knows!"

Mang Shen said: "One day, the Prime Minister of Wei said that the merchants in Liangzhong were blocked and their goods were difficult to enter, and they were afraid that they would be in trouble for the king. He was willing to go to Qifeng to talk to Qin to open up trade routes. However, if there is an attack, the trade routes will not be cut off. My father agreed.

The next day, the Prime Minister of Wei replied that the Qin people wanted to be able to trade with each other, but they only wanted to make peace with Wei. So he sent the Korean Duan Zigan to Qifeng to communicate with the mission. It was decided that Qin and Wei would not invade each other for the time being: Qin soldiers would not leave.

To the north of Qifeng, Wei soldiers did not go beyond ten miles south of Liang. Each scout sent out scouts to explore the military situation. The scouts only prepared bells and drums, but no soldiers and armor, and did not invade. Qin people are wolves, their intentions are unpredictable, and my father is

We deployed dense defenses and sent scouts from afar to prepare for any danger. Prime Minister Wei sent Duan Ziqian to discuss peace with Qin. Hearing that Qin wanted to capture the ten cities of Wei, he retreated, but the king refused. And again and again, the negotiation could not be concluded."

Lord Xinling said: "Who is the envoy of Qin?"

Mang Shen said: "I heard it occasionally, but I haven't found out the truth. It may be called Hu Yang, a guest of Qin Dynasty."

Lord Xinling said: "But the envoys from Wei went to Qifeng, or the envoys from Qin went to Liang?"

Mang Shen said: "I heard a lot about Wei envoys going to Kaifeng, and Qin envoys going to Liang Dynasty. I also heard about it. But I don't know where they are."

Mr. Guo, who was standing aside, said, "Has your guest Hu Yang also entered Daliang?"

Mang Shen said: "It may be possible."

Mr. Guo said: "Hu Yang is planning to attack the Wei Dynasty. If he enters Daliang, he may have ulterior motives."

Mang Shen said: "This is all done by Prime Minister Wei, and there is nothing to stop it. We just have to be on strict guard."

Mr. Guo said: "What order will the general give regarding Huayang?"

Mang Shen said: "General, I will come to court today for discussion. Sooner or later, there will be a report."

Mr. Guo said: "Even if you enter the court for discussion, the general must have no opinion!"

Mang Shen said: "My father once said that if there is a son in Huayang, Daliang will be safe. If there is no son in Huayang, my father will not dare to open the city and do business."

Mr. Guo said: "In that case, can Huayang's grain and crops come from Daliang?"

Mang Shen said: "My father has not discussed this, so I dare not speak nonsense."

Mr. Guo suddenly asked sharply: "I heard that Daliang said that Qin wants to be unfavorable to the young master in order to make peace with Wei. Is it okay?"

When Mang Shen heard this sensitive question, he calmed down and replied: "I have heard about it. They are all talking about it in the streets, but I don't know whether it is good or not. The young master is also the younger brother of the king. His name is spread all over the world. If something unexpected happens, my father will be shattered into pieces."

, cannot be redeemed! Therefore, the young master has an order, and he dare not disobey it. The former young master ordered to find Chen Si, and entrusted it to Mr. Che.
