The military envoy was praised and felt happy, so he started to talk: "I am unlucky and have not been assigned the mission to the east. I only have to run thirty miles to the east before I can meet the post, and I have to run eighty miles to the north.

This is not just about running fifty miles more. You have to adjust your pace, breathe evenly, and know how to rest on time. You must not rely on your physical strength. If you run hard, you will definitely not be able to finish. You must choose to rest well.

The location, otherwise the strongman will find out and it will be ruined; you must eat and drink on time, otherwise you will not get cramps..." The military envoy kept chattering. Mang Mao stopped him and said, "Have you ever met a strongman on the road?"

The military envoy said: "Thanks to you, sir, everything goes well for me."

"Have you met anyone?"

"I have seen people doing business and working in the fields, but I have been careful to avoid them. Those people do business and farm when they have nothing to do. When there is a gap, they kill people and take wealth. My life is small, but the delay in military affairs is big!"

When the gentleman on the right side of the car heard this, the corners of his mouth curved up. Mang Mao and Mang Shenze both laughed out loud.

"Well done!" Mang Mao praised, "Are there many people like this?"

"Have you met Sanwuqi?"

"How many people are there in each attack?"

"I'm not sure, maybe a dozen people, maybe thirty or fifty people... There are many businessmen, but there are few people working in the fields... But there are about ten people. Did they make an appointment to go together?"

"Of course the merchant must make an appointment first. Do you want to make an appointment with me in the fields?"

"If we have friendship, we will also make appointments... I can invite a dozen people to go to the fields together. This kind of friendship..."

"What do traveling merchants bring with them? Should they carry burdens or drive?"

"Drive, ox-cart, go slowly. What should you bring? You can't tell, it's covered by a big cart."

"Are they going south or north?"

"Going south or north?"

"That is to say, their direction is the same as yours, or in the opposite direction."

“Everything is available!”

"Has anyone met you head-on?"

"Yes!" the military envoy said with certainty, "The last one we met was the one we met head-on. I heard the sound of a car in front of me, so I quickly turned to another road and hid in the ditch. I waited until they passed before I came out.

It’s a team of traders with many people!”

"Are there any patrols along the way?"

"Not seen!"

"Absurd!" Mang Mao said harshly. Seeing Mang Mao's anger, the military envoy wisely shut his mouth.

In the silence, the shadow of the city wall that appeared in front was exactly the center of the wall. The disciples who had set out first had already led the city guard to the crossing outside the city to wait. Behind him were ten ox carts loaded with grain. Mang Mao and his party came to a halt just a stone's throw away.

Driving slowly, the formation also changed from a wild goose shape to a square, with Mang Mao's car at the front. The gentleman on the right side of the car jumped out of the car, ran to the city guard first, and reported to the city guard that General Mang Mao had arrived. The city guard and his party immediately rushed to the convoy

As they came, the convoy saw the city guard and his entourage coming on foot. They also stopped the carriage. Both the left and right sides of the carriage jumped out of the carriage. Mang Mao also jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the city guard. Only the military envoy was at a loss and was still there.

Standing in the car, Mang Shen whispered: "Get off the car and stand behind the car." Only then did the military envoy know what he should do.

After Mang Mao and Yan Shou met, they bowed to each other and exchanged greetings for a while. Mang Mao said, "Mr. Jia, I accept Yan Shou's treatment of each other. How honored you are! You still have to go forward. If you are given a horse and carriage, you will be very lucky.

!”

Yan Shou quickly asked one of his subordinates to ride into the inn with the diners at the front station to change horses. Mang Mao whispered a few instructions to the diners and asked them to leave.

After the guests left, Mang Mao said to the guard: "Please step back for now." The two waved their hands, and everyone around them retreated ten steps away. The two people in the center approached each other, and Mang Mao said: "The Qin people have entered.

From Nanguan, most of them go straight to Qifeng. There are already business travelers transporting baggage for them, and there may be more in the future."

The guard was surprised and said: "I saw the Nanguan beacon fire in the morning, but did not receive the report. How did the general know about it?"

"The military envoy will enter the garden at the end of the day and return to the court with me in the car. There is no need to travel all the way, which is a waste of time. So you know. Otherwise, the military envoy will arrive late."

"I see. What do you have to say, general?"

"I must listen to your Majesty's decision. Kaifeng is south of Daliang, which has always been a gathering place for merchants. There are only a few soldiers from Jing'an. They are beyond the reach of my whip and must not be defended. If Kaifeng is lost, Daliang will be in danger!"

"When a general enters the court, he must have a plan!"

"My plan is to call the Liangjiao troops currently gathered to garrison in the Liangjiao area as a preparation, so we should abandon the garrison. Only one guard knows about this plan and has made preparations in advance to avoid temporary chaos when the king's order is issued."

The guard responded and asked: "General, you can go into the city to rest your horse. If the king's order is urgent and you have to carry food by the roadside, you can rest for a while."

Mang Mao looked at the ten bullock carts in the distance and said: "The military situation is urgent and there is no need to delay. The moon is shining brightly tonight. You can ride quickly. If you deliver it to someone, you will reach Daliang, or you can discuss it with the people in front of the king. The carriage is slow.

It is only kept in the prison to prepare soldiers and soldiers."

"If this is the case, how can you rest in peace of mind!"

"Be prepared with all your heart, and this time we may be able to solve the problem of Daliang in a defensive position."

"Dare to risk your life!"

"But don't leak it in advance and provoke a civil uprising."

"Here's to you!"

Mang Mao walked back to the convoy and said, "Let's take a short rest and set off!"

At this time, the charioteers left the car, either for convenience or to drink water, and the driver took off his water bag to drink from the horse. The city guard and his entourage turned around and left to return to the city. While Mangmao was eating and drinking, he walked around and talked with each car.

The gentlemen chatted and discussed the itinerary and pace along the way. In the end, they all agreed that there should be no problem if they drove straight into the city at a fast pace; if they drove quickly, they should take a break in the middle. Each car once again confirmed the signal for the formation change.

Sound. Everyone felt much more relaxed after this. They got on the carriages, and the carriages slowly lined up in a predetermined formation. Then each carriage shook its reins lightly in tacit understanding, and the carriage changed to a fast pace.

The sky has darkened, and the moon is rising in the sky, spreading coolness. No one in the cars said anything, and they were driving forward, except for the military envoy. Riding in the car in the cold weather, his legs were numb and hard from the cold; when he saw Mang Mao, Mang Shen and

Mr. Che You was as motionless as a clay statue. He couldn't move much, so he could only quietly change his legs and shrink his shoulders, hoping to fly to the beam in one step.

I don’t know how long it took, but the beam was finally in sight, and just a stone’s throw away from the beam, there was a team of torches. This team of torches seemed to have seen the convoy, and a torch came forward to greet it. As it got closer, it could be seen that it was a cavalryman.

Then I heard the question: "Who is coming?"

The person at the front of the motorcade replied: "General Mangmao returns to the court!"

When the motorcade approached, people could see it clearly. The man turned the horse's head, held up the torch, and shouted: "General Mangmao returns to the court!" The flying horse moved forward. A trumpet sound came from the motorcade, and the motorcade immediately moved forward.

They formed a column and followed closely behind the cavalry. The cavalry horses ran so fast that the carriages of the team had to change to a gallop. They passed the team of torches in an instant. It turned out that there were two teams, and the front team also held torches.

The cavalry, followed by the cavalry archers who bent their bows and controlled their strings. After the convoy passed by, this group of people also followed in a horizontal formation until they reached the city gate before changing to a double column and galloping into the city gate. After they entered the city,
