Chapter 55

Seeing Mang Mao's dumbfounded look, Wei Qi calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, I have wanted to learn how to use iron arrowheads for a long time. I, the great warriors of the Wei Dynasty, are all over the world. If we add iron arrowheads, wouldn't it be like the wings of a tiger? Who can defeat me? So why?" It is hoped that Duanzi will be in charge of military affairs. However, military soldiers are all assessed and then appointed. Where Duanzi can get in, he can only lead the generals and gain some military exploits. In the future, the training of soldiers will not be abrupt. However, Duanzi entered the Wei Dynasty and had little reputation. If With Mang Qing's recommendation, he is naturally of extraordinary stature, so he kept silent. This is what Mang Qing expects from him!"

Mang Mao looked at Wei Qi for a long time and said, "Don't let me get in trouble, Prime Minister!"

Wei Qi said: "Where can it be, where can it be!"

Mang Mao said: "What position does the Prime Minister want to recommend Duanzi to?"

Wei Qidao: "I don't know anything about military affairs. What positions there are and what they are responsible for. It all depends on Mang Qing's careful planning!"

Mang Mao said: "There is a plan for such a humble person: the king worships Duanzi as his guest minister. Isn't the Daliang Lieutenant leaving the city tomorrow to join the army? Duanzi will temporarily guard Daliang as his guest minister."

Wei Qi said: "It's not right, it's not right. The king of Daliang who is responsible for his duties already belongs to Mang Qing. How can he pretend to be someone else? You can think about it again."

Mang Mao said: "The king worships Duanzi as his guest..."

Before Mang Mao finished speaking, Wei Qi interrupted: "Stop, stop! Wouldn't it be great if the king could worship Duanzi as his guest? At this time, the king cannot come forward, and must borrow Mang Qing's hand!"

Mang Mao said: "It is the way to be courteous and virtuous to pay homage to your guest, why not!"

Wei Qi hesitated several times, and finally made a decision, saying: "Mang Qing doesn't know something,... I will tell the truth and offend the king. I hope Mang Qing will never tell anyone! The king loves Lord Long Yang deeply,... Therefore, you are not allowed to worship foreign sages as guest ministers, otherwise Lord Longyang will disobey you! Do you understand?"

Mang Mao said: "Why does the person you love like this do this!"

Wei Qidao: "Who says it's not the case! But the king is in love with Long Yang and has no choice but to do so. Long Yang is kept in a deep palace, and all the female relatives do not avoid it... Hey, hey!" Before he could finish his words, he sighed again and again. All I could do was sigh.

The two looked at each other speechless for a moment, then Wei Qi said: "Mang Qing knows my difficulty! Your Majesty is being ridiculous for a moment, and I and other ministers can only try our best to correct it, but it's not easy!"

Mang Mao said: "Why doesn't Prime Minister remonstrate with him?"

Wei Qidao: "Remonstrance? If the remonstrance is light, he will reply "I know". If the remonstration is serious, he will convulse and fall to the ground. What a big deal! He can only let him be ridiculous. We can support him and support him!"

Mang Mao said with deep courtesy: "It is not easy to serve a country as a prime minister. I am humble enough to receive instruction from you."

Wei Qi returned the greeting and said: "We have a deep friendship with Mang Qing, but I don't dare to do so."

After the two of them sighed for a while, Wei Qi said: "Your Majesty is ridiculous, I hope Mang Qingqu can bridge the gap so that big things will not go wrong and small details will not go wrong."

Mang Mao said: "Xiang Guo Qu means the country. I am humble, so I dare not step in from outside. I only obey the order of the Prime Minister and I will never dare to resign!"

Wei Qidao said: "If Duanzi is not talented, but he is favored by the king, he must make meritorious service. This is very inappropriate, and it is not political. Mang Qing can think of a strategy, let the inappropriate be appropriate, and be correct instead of political, it can be Huh?"

Mang Mao said: "The prime minister can elaborate on the king's wishes."

Wei Qidao: "As Mang Qing said, the fact of the story belongs to the craftsman. But the craftsman of the craftsman has a quota and has his own affairs. The uncle of the craftsman is responsible for his duties, and his nature is very ordinary, but he does not interfere much with state affairs. , so we have tolerated each other until now. If Duanzi enters the Sigong Mansion, it is done without saying whether it can be completed. How can it be left to the king's wish? One sentence from the king can be matched by ten sentences. Therefore, the king wants Duanzi to be in charge of the arsenal. Establish craftsmen and set up furnaces to smelt iron to fulfill the king's wishes. Next, select the best from the military soldiers and teach them how to use iron arrowheads. Gradually, they become the backbone of the Wei army."

Mang Mao said: "Your Majesty's plan is far-reaching and beyond the reach of a humble person. May I ask what the Prime Minister wants to do to achieve it?"

Wei Qidao: "I think that the arsenal is under the control of military strategists. How can it be achieved without unparalleled military exploits? Therefore, I would like Mang Qing to plan and plan it. How can he achieve great military exploits without being in danger?"

Mang Mao said: "Since ancient times, military merit has been established in front of the formation. If you don't fight with each other, how can you achieve military merit?"

Wei Qidao: "This is exactly the reason, this is the reason, so Mang Qing must plan it! Extreme things require extraordinary plans. Such a strange plan must be made by Mang Qing!"

Mang Mao said: "Such a miraculous feat must be done by Daliang Wei. But please invite the Prime Minister to enter the palace and say that I am willing to use Daliang Wei to make a joke. Please make an announcement tomorrow... As for the sponsor, Daliang Wei is the Qiancheng of the country.

It is not appropriate for me to say anything, but I dare to ask the prime minister to ask for the protection of a state official. If someone pays Duanzi's account with his dogs, I will do my best to help him achieve great success."

Wei Qidao: "No, no. As I said just now, Lieutenant Daliang is already a minister. This cannot be discussed again."

Mang Mao said: "For example, if you lead the army of Daliang in a humble way, the army inside the city will be responsible for the defense, and the army outside the city will be responsible for the battle. It is difficult to perform meritorious service in defending the city, and the affairs are complicated, so it will be difficult for Duanzi to do it; if you are in charge of the army outside the city, you will be a tiger and wolf warrior.

Life is inevitably in danger."

Wei Qi said: "Is it okay to pretend to lead the troops outside the city, but the actual leader is to choose a strong general?"

Mang Mao said: "What the Prime Minister said is a policy. However, given the current situation, the troops outside the city are only set up to divide the enemy's strength. Their strength is very weak. It is difficult to protect themselves when encountering the Qin army, so how can we make meritorious deeds!"

Wei Qidao: "Go to one or two battles outside the city, plan carefully, use tigers to fight sheep, and achieve success. This is where the military exploits come from."

Mang Mao said: "It's easier said than done. A small battle can't achieve great results. If the battle is a little bigger and stings the Qin army, we must concentrate all our strength to fight against the troops outside the city. What can we do? When the time comes, we will defeat the army and kill the generals, which will be a serious crime!"

Wei Qi said: "Then let's fight a small or medium-sized one."

Mang Mao said: "The Prime Minister lives high in the temple, and has not heard the sound of killing for a long time. The war opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, and it is still uncertain whether it can be captured. It is not like the Prime Minister who sacrifices and divides the meat, saying that the stool is big and the urine is small.

, it must be equalized."

Wei Qi was at a loss for words for a moment. Mang Mao quickly said: "A humble person who speaks without restraint is punishable by death!"

Wei Qi's face relaxed slightly and he said: "We talked for a long night without drinking wine to entertain ourselves. It's Dong Dao's fault! Please forgive me, Mang Qing!" After saying that, he stood up and went outside. Soon a boy servant brought a wine jar and covered it with lacquer cups.

After the servants had retired, Wei Qi held up a cup of wine and presented it to Mangmang's banquet. He took another cup for himself and said, "All wine rituals are waived. Let's have a hearty drink with you tonight!" After that, he drank by himself.

The wine was in the cup. Mang Mao had no choice but to drink from the cow. The wine was mellow and sweet, and tasted very delicious. Mang Mao secretly said: "This guy, the wine is delicious!" Unconsciously, his heart felt relieved, and he also had a good impression when he looked at Wei Qi.

Wei Qi poured another cup for each of them and said, "This wine has been stored in the cellar for many years and was just taken out two days ago. How does it taste?"

Mang Mao said: "It tastes very sweet. The prime minister has given me such a generous gift, but I can't repay it for being humble."

Wei Qidao: "Exaggeration, exaggeration! Drink again, drink again!"

They each drank a few more cups and talked about some gossip. Mang Mao seemed to be a little drunk and said with enthusiasm: "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. If he must have the right skills to perform meritorious deeds, his soldiers will be young and strong, and his weapons must be excellent.

The grain and fodder must be abundant, and the reward must be generous. The humble one uses the eldest son to lead his troops, the younger sons to fill the battlefield, and the younger sons to carry the grain and grass. He must try every means to find opportunities to make the story successful! The Prime Minister will help him!"
