Chapter 62 Soldiers
Mang Mao came out of the bath and went directly to a quiet room arranged by two concubines. He wanted to fast. The meal was also delivered directly to the quiet room, without sauce and vinegar, just adding some salt and plum. Mang Yin went to report the discussion at the table.
Regarding the matter, he only said, "Discuss everything with Mr. Hu Zhong. There is no need to come and say goodbye when you set off. You only need to say goodbye to your mother." When asked about the arrangements for the brothers tomorrow, Mang Mao only said that we would talk about it tomorrow. Mang Yin
When he returned to the banquet and told the news, all the brothers were puzzled. Mr. Hu Zhong only made some brief preparations and set off, got up and went home. Mr. Che You still had an incomprehensible look on his face.
Mang Yin had no choice but to ask Mr. Che You to rest, and he and his brothers came out. They went to the room to chat with their mother for a while, but they couldn't get anything done. They went to the side courtyard to set up the car together, and several people discussed it. Everyone felt that everything was not sure.
, but there is no foolproof plan, so we can only admit to adapting to circumstances. Mangchen said: "Brother, there are three dangers: one is that the grain cart cannot be caught, and the Qin people are trapped; the other is that the grain cart is captured by the Qin people; the grain cart is captured by the Qin people, and the other is
The chariots were guarded by the people of Qin, and they reached Chenliu, three places. The uncle had three safeties: the elder brother came from the east road, and the grain carts also came from the east road. The brother and the grain carts entered Daliang safely, and they were one; the elder brother came from the east road, and the grain carts came from the north road.
, My brother chased after the grain cart, but the people of Qin didn’t know it, that’s the second thing; my brother chased the grain cart, and the Qin people noticed it, but they didn’t know who I am, that’s the third thing.”
Mang Yin said: "It will take three days for the Qin people to enter the pass and reach Daliang. They have already gone there for one day and night. Tomorrow there will be at most a few sentries under Daliang City. It will take another day for the large Qin army to arrive. As brother Ying Chen said,
I will be safe for my brother."
Mang Chen said: "Soldiers need to be quick. We don't have to wait for the Qin people to arrive in three days. In my opinion, I should move quickly and don't have to wait for Daliang Wei."
Mang Yin said: "Daliang is closed. How can we leave the city without Daliang Lieutenant?"
Mang Chen said: "Don't the civilian armies outside the city need a leader?"
Mang Yin said: "What Mr. Hu Zhong said, does this mean what I mean?"
Mang Chen said: "Brother reported this matter, what did father say?"
Mang Yin said: "I didn't say a word! I just said that I would discuss everything with Mr. Hu Zhong."
Mang Chen said: "In this case, without further delay, brother should go to the Prime Minister Wei's Mansion to get the tiger talisman as soon as possible."
Mang Yin said: "When I report to my father, I can take the festival talisman and go there."
Mang Chen quickly stopped and said, "Brother, there is no need to be like this. My father is fasting, so why disturb him? The plan was decided last night, so why bother to invite him again? My brother is the eldest son of the Mang family. Who doesn't know, so why bother with the festival talisman!"
Mang Yin wondered: "Why is that so?"
Mang Chen said: "Brother Gai is actually not leading the army when he goes out of the city. Therefore, my father only said that everything should be done after consultation with Mr. Hu Zhong. In this way, there will be setbacks in everything."
Mang Yin said: "In this way, you call me a brother and a villain!"
Mang Chen said: "With my brother's talents and the assistance of Mr. Hu Zhong, I will definitely be able to make great achievements. How can I be evil?"
Mang Yin said: "The momentum has reached this point and we have to take action. Brothers, prepare your cars and rest while I change my clothes." The three brothers each saluted and sent Mang Yin off.
Manghai said: "What are you talking about, Uncle Chen? Why don't you let me invite my father?"
Mang Chen said: "Leaving the city is originally a matter for brothers Bo and Zhong. Now that Brother Shen has left the city, Brother Bo can only go out of the city alone, and Brother Zhong needs to stay in the city to assist his father. If the father knows that Brother Bo goes out of the city alone, he loves his son.
He was eager to send Brother Zhong out of the city to help. Brother Zhong felt sorry for his father, so he left without saying goodbye."
Manghai said: "Then why do you call your uncle a villain?"
Mang Chen said: "Although my uncle has pure filial piety, he is not consistent with etiquette, so he is called a 'evil person'."
Manghai said: "Sure enough, sure enough. When my father blames me in the future, I will have to explain myself."
Mang Chen said, "It's all up to Brother Zhong to protect you then!" The other two people saw Mang Chen teasing Mang Hai and laughed together.
When he was young, Mang Yin had finished changing his clothes and was in front of the independent hall. His three younger brothers had all gone back to their rooms, but Mr. Hu Zhong hadn't arrived yet, so the front of the hall was quiet. Mang Yin put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. It was noon, and the sun was gloomy, which was not unusual.
The first two days were sunny. I thought about leaving the city again, and I couldn't help but feel uneasy. While I was deep in thought, I suddenly heard a knock on the door. I came out to look around, but it was Mr. Hu Zhong who had changed clothes and came back. Mang Yin quickly opened the door and welcomed him into the hall. Mr. Hu Zhong
He was still dressed in cloth, with a sheepskin coat, only a scarf on his head, and a bag on his body, dressed like a businessman.
Mang Yin said: "Since I was young, I went to the prime minister's house to ask for amulets. I am waiting for your help."
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "In this way, the sun is approaching the middle of the sky, and it is time to go. From now on, I will wear cloth clothes on my left and right, and the eldest son will not recognize me again. Thousands and thousands of times."
Mang Yin said: "What does this mean?"
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Without this, it is not enough to complete the grain harvest. I hope you will agree."
Mang Yin said: "This is so, but I feel wronged sir."
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "The situation is like this, so I have to ask for help from him."
The two of them pulled the harnessed car out of the house, got in and drove away. Mang Yin said: "What strategy should we use to find a fortune?" Mr. Hu Zhong said: "But if you work hard, everything will be accomplished!" The two looked at each other.
And laugh.
Arriving in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mang Yin entered the mansion alone, and Mr. Hu Zhong was watching the car outside the door. When the doorman saw Mr. Hu Zhong dressed in civilian clothes, he didn't ask much and just regarded him as a member of the Mang Mansion. The Prime Minister's Mansion is close to the south city wall, only separated by
A street; the chasm meanders from outside the palace wall and goes out through the south gate. There are no pedestrians on the street, only patrols, and soldiers changing sentries pass by from time to time. When the sun turns to the west, the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion opens, but it is Wei Qi himself
Send Mang Yin out of the house and say goodbye while holding hands.
After Mang Yin got in the car, Mr. Hu Zhong drove away. It wasn't until he crossed the bridge that Mang Yin breathed out bitterly and said, "Old thief!"
Mr. Hu Zhong asked: "Is everything going wrong?"
Mang Yin said: "Three ways to make things difficult!"
Mr. Hu Zhong asked: "What's the reason?"
Mang Yin said: "I am afraid that my father and son will not be able to tell me, so I will definitely ask for my father's handwritten notes."
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "If your skills are limited to this level, what's the point? I saw that he was very respectful to the elders, but why?"
Mang Yin said: "Although he is making things difficult, there is no shortage of etiquette."
Mr. Hu Zhong asked: "Where will I put the story?"
Mang Yin said: "It's just a joke that you don't have to leave the city, and the credit will go back to you."
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Is this enough?"
Mang Yin said: "I have been questioned by many parties, but I will not change my words. I have to adapt to changes. Prime Minister Wei has no choice but to agree."
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "That's very good. Your Majesty pays homage to the general. The eldest son left the city and got the military talisman outside Daliang City. I guess it won't be a big deal. The eldest son will go back to the house to reorganize. In a short while, he will go to Daliang Wei's Mansion."
Not long after, Mang Yin and his entourage arrived home. The brothers came up to ask questions, and Mang Yin answered them one by one. Then they went to the quiet room together to ask for instructions, but Mang Mao was missing. Mang Yin had to report outside the door, and Mang Mao didn't say much, so he said it again.
He discussed everything with Mr. Hu Zhong and said nothing. Mang Yin waited for a long time to no avail, so he had to quietly bow and leave. Mang Yin only asked the brothers to prepare two days of grain for two people and one day of fodder for four horses.
There was no baggage carriage on the car. He went to the back hall to say goodbye to his mother, saying that he had been away for a long time and the situation was chaotic, so that his mother should take care of himself. As usual, his mother also told him to be cautious along the way, discuss things with others more often, and avoid dealing with current affairs.
, Mang Yin went out with Mr. Hu Zhong again.
When he was young, he arrived in front of Daliang Wei's mansion. Mang Yin handed over his ceremonial talisman. Mr. Liang Wei went out to greet him personally. Daliang Wei then came to the front of the hall. Among the three people standing behind him, there was Mang Shen. Seeing this guard of honor, Mang Yin went to the hall early.
He held his hands to his chest and stepped forward to salute. Captain Daliang held his hands and returned the salute, but saw Mr. Hu Zhong leading his horse into the house. He quickly stepped forward to stop him and bowed. Mr. Hu Zhong avoided it and said, "I don't dare to be a commoner."
A gentleman's courtesy."
Daliang Wei said: "Mr. Hu Zhong is an important minister of the Mang family, how can we be disrespectful!" He reached out to take the rein of Mr. Hu Zhong's horse. Young Master Liang Wei, the concierge, and the rest of the family were so panicked that they stepped forward and took the horse from Mr. Hu Zhong's hand.
Rein, hold it open.
Mr. Hu Zhong had no choice but to greet Daliang Wei and the others. Mang Shen also came to greet them. Daliang Wei invited the two of them to come to the hall, but they refused and only followed Daliang Wei into the hall. Mang Yin wanted to take off his clothes.
