At Mang Mao's signal, Mang Yin quietly filled up the wine for Mr. Che You, and then filled the cups of his father, Mr. Hu Zhong and his brothers. Mr. Che You raised his hand to show salute and then raised his cup.

He took a sip of his own business. He put down the cup, put his hands back on his knees, and said: "Driving the sheep to attack the tiger, you don't have to wait for a plan to know that it can't be defeated. The soldiers are strong, but their diseases are as many as 50,000.

Marquis Wen has been in power for more than a hundred years and has never expanded. What? The land granted is not enough. One soldier has a hundred acres of land and 50,000 military soldiers can restore the land of 50,000 miles. How can the country be worthy of it! Therefore, it has been reduced a lot now.

A man with a hundred acres was a surplus in the time of Marquis Wen, but now he is only well-off, not to mention insufficient. When it comes to soldiers, it is insufficient, and when it comes to the country, it is unbearable. This is a disease. Today's military soldiers have all been recruited over the past few decades, and they have become stronger and stronger.

There are many old and weak people today, but they are still counted. They have the name of elites but not the reality of elites. The second disease is that soldiers admire the fields and enlist in the army. Although they wear armor and hogeons, their hearts are always among the fields, so they do not practice their soldiers.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been without a fighting spirit. It’s caused by three diseases. The other minor ones are not considered. I hope the Lord will take a look at them.”

Mang Mao said: "The illness of a soldier is not just a day, it is visible to all. But what can be done?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "When the king first came to the throne, he probably didn't see the illness of the soldiers. I still think about the time when Wu Qi, who rampaged across the world with 50,000 soldiers and defeated the Qin army of 500,000." As soon as he said this, everyone in the audience laughed.

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Sir, this is a very good statement. Last year, Qin invaded Wei and captured two cities. However, they only entered the frontier and the soldiers did not have time to fight. I see that there are people who are unjust in the country, and there are some who want to fight."

Mang Mao said: "Sir, what do you mean, there must be a battle?"

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "The king has many favorites, so he may not be the only one to fight." Then the whole audience laughed again.

Mr. Cheyou said: "I think Duan Zi interferes with the king. If the Lord recommends to the emperor to command the army, the king will follow, and the son will be his deputy. One is to repay the king's knowledge, and the other is to fulfill the king's desire to fight. Isn't it the best of both worlds?

."

Mang Mao said: "Duanzi is in charge of the army? I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Duanzi was first recommended to the king. Although he won the king's heart, his learning has not been seen and his talents have not been developed. How can he be recommended to command the army?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "The story is of no use to the country. Everyone agrees, and the king also sees it! After entering the palace for three days, we talked all night long, and he is not the pillar of the country, nor the temple depends on it! If something happens, how can you stand by and watch."

If you recommend them, you will have the virtue of knowledge; if you reject them, you will be guilty of ignorance."

Mang Mao said: "Although it is said so, if you recommend it with your own body, but the army subverts it, how can you solve it?"

Mr. Che You asked: "Can we compete with subjective jokes?"

Mang Mao said: "If you fight, you will lose."

Mr. Cheyou said: "Do you know the joke?"

Mang Mao pondered for a while and said, "I have never met him, so I don't know the details."

Mr. Cheyou said: "There are people in front of me who are dissatisfied with the Qin army, and Duan Zi is one of them. This person first met the king, and when he met him, he failed to convince others. Now that there is a war, we must strive for merit, so it is necessary to fight.

.In a battle that must be lost, entrust it to those who strive for merit. If you win, you will have the merit of knowledge and recommendation, and if you lose, there will be no fault."

Mang Mao said: "If you recommend someone and fail, you will be guilty of the same crime. I hope you can teach me how to fail without making the slightest mistake."

A rare smile appeared on Mr. Che You's face and he said: "Prime Minister Wei must have seen something..."

While he was talking, someone suddenly came to report: "The Prime Minister is coming, please come over immediately!" Mang Yin went out to take the festival talisman, confirmed it was correct, and asked, "Where is the person?"

"After the visitor delivers the message, he will leave on his own."

Mang Yin returned to Nuange, presented the festival talisman, and saluted Mr. Che You: "The result is just as Mr. expected."

Mang Mao picked up the festival talisman, took a look at it, and said, "May I ask, sir, what is the meaning of this meeting?"

Mr. Cheyou said: "I only recommend jokes to make my ears dry."

Mang Mao said: "How to deal with it?"

Mr. Che You said: "If you have merit, all the merits will go to the Lord. If you have faults, Prime Minister Wei will let them go."

Mang Mao said: "Second sir, please stay in the humble house for a while tonight. I am humble enough to ask for advice." Then he turned to the disciples and said: "Wait for the two gentlemen who serve you. Yin'er and Chen'er will meet with me. Prepare the car."

When the three of them arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, they had already been handed over to someone. The soldiers on patrol also checked the festival talismans twice more. They held a lamp in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. When they saw the carriage coming, they hurriedly informed them to go in. When Mang Mao and others got off the car, Wei Qi came out to greet them. When he saw Mang Mao, he bowed and said: "General, hard work! The general has worked hard again, and the two young masters are very uneasy. Please stop the horse, please stop the horse!" Several people came over and pulled the carriage in first. Mang Mao and his son The three of them were led to the front hall by Wei Qi and saluted again. Wei Qi whispered: "The King of Wei has an oral message."

Mang Mao saluted and said, "I would like to take the lead!"

Wei Qi said: "Let's go to the back hall."

Mang Mao understood and said to the two sons, "You guys are waiting here." Wei Qi also called a servant to serve wine, fruits and other items, and led Mang Mao to the back hall and into the study.

Mang Mao asked: "What did King Wei say?"

Wei Qi said: "Oh, general, I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble, general, you have to save me!"

Mang Mao asked in surprise: "This...this, where to start?"

Wei Qi said: "I just came back from your Majesty's place."

"The king refuses to agree to the court meeting? What advice does the king have?"

"There are no objections to the matters discussed in court. Daliang Wei replied to Lingjun on his behalf. The general led Daliang Wei with Situ, and Daliang City Guards Quantuo General. The king also approved of the general's strategy."

"So, where does the difficulty come from?"

"You know what to do, the king wants him to prepare troops! This, this, how great is it?"

"Your Majesty knows people well and knows how to prepare an army. I will obey your orders!"

"No, no. It's just a matter of your Majesty's summons. What do you think? Your Majesty wants me to recommend Duan Ziqian as a general."

"I would like to accept it! I have drafted the recommendation form for the Prime Minister, and I humbly countersign it."

"No, no, no! Mang Qing knows that I have always been concerned with the affairs of the Wang family. How do I know about military matters? I have been weak since I was a child and have not even learned archery. To write the recommendation form in an orderly and elegant manner, I must borrow Mang Qing's hand! Mang Qing will be a general when he comes out, and a prime minister when he comes in. He is both civil and military, and I hope there will be no excuses!"

"Oh?...Weigui dare not resign from the Prime Minister's order. However, the king asked the Prime Minister to recommend Duanzi for any position. Weibian has not heard about it, so he cannot recommend him. Weibian and Duanzi have never met, so how can he recommend him! This is The second category cannot be recommended. He is a humble commoner from a foreign land, borrowing food and accommodation from a big country, but he relies on the late king for not abandoning him. He has a plain meal on his body, and has no merits. He has no merits and will be punished in front of the court. How can he be recommended? The third category cannot be recommended. I hope the prime minister will examine it carefully! "

Wei Qi said seriously: "Mang Qing, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? Mang Qing is the wise man of the former king and has extraordinary strategies. Who doesn't respect him! When the king came to the throne, he immediately appointed Mang Qing to lead the army and put him in charge of important tasks. After a little trouble, he welcomed him back to the capital. ; At present, the enemy is great, and the ancestral temple of the family and country is used to pay for the general. He has a high position and is highly respected by everyone. It is appropriate to recommend him! Duan Ziqian, Gongsun Duan, made iron as arrowheads in Korea. He is a good soldier, and he is willing to use the method of iron arrows to teach him. Wei Wuzu."

Mang Mao said: "The prime minister has a clear lesson from the country. Why do you do this work? I don't understand it."

Wei Qidao: "That's right, that's right. Casting an iron arrowhead and leading an army are not the same thing! So it all depends on Mang Qing's recommendation!"

Mang Mao said: "What does the Prime Minister mean?"
