Chapter 87 Generals
Under the leadership of their respective military lieutenants, the soldiers of the government were assigned to each city to take over the defense. Mang Chen would be satisfied with a collar talisman and distributed it to each li, the elders, and the officials one by one. Mang Mao stood quietly in front of the car, watching.
Everything in front of me was expressionless, and I couldn't see the waves in my heart.
Mr. Liang Wei walked down the steps to the front of the car and said, "General, please come into the house!"
Mang Mao returned the salute, but scolded Mang Hai and Mang Wei who were behind the young master: "You can be as good as the young master!" Then he turned to Wei Liao: "Old Wei has done a great job in assisting the young master!"
Wei Liaoxun said: "How dare you, veteran minister? But if I protect the young master, my wish is enough!"
Mang Mao looked at the military officers behind him again: "How are you going to settle down?"
Mr. Liang Wei came forward and said: "The soldiers in front of and behind the army are marching out with the general, but they are still outside the Great Wall. Although there are three armies on the left, middle and right in the city, there are only 20,000 soldiers. After discussing with the three generals, we decided to move out of the city in three directions.
In addition to Sanbiao Pi, we also invite General Wei Guang of the right army to come out and lead the battle."
Mang Mao said: "Young Master led the three soldiers out of the formation, and the two soldiers on the right wanted to come out together. May I ask where the other army came from?"
Mr. Liang Wei said: "The center of the main town of the Chinese army cannot be left even slightly. The other side is the left army's right side."
Mang Mao said: "That's very good." He turned to the general on the left and said, "It's hard to move the center. I have to rely on you for all the small and big things in the city."
General Zuo said noncommittally: "But I will obey the general's orders."
Mang Mao asked: "What can the Chinese army do?"
Liang Wei Gongzi said: "The Chinese army has the king as the general, and the left and right side servants all come from the Wang family. The Wei mansion is really only responsible for weapons and food."
Mang Mao said: "In this way, only one of the soldiers in the city is left."
Young Master Liang Wei felt something bad and said quickly: "There are enough government soldiers and civilian troops in the city, and there is no shortage of food, fodder, and weapons. There is no shortage of them."
Mang Mao nodded noncommittally, and then asked the young master: "Where are you going, young master?".
Wei Liao replied: "Young Master will go to the east gate in person to supervise the formation."
Mang Mao asked the people following the young master: "Are all the gentlemen going together as well?"
Wei Liao then answered on his behalf: "These are the accompanying retainers, who will go out with the young master. Some of the generals, partials, lieutenants, Sima, etc. will go out; those who will not go out are just to see him off."
Mang Mao said: "This is a very good idea. I would like to follow the young master to the city and show off his strength."
Wei Liao stopped him and said, "No way. A general is in charge of his family and country. How can he take risks? Besides, Mr. Zhong is out in battle and Mr. Ji is leading the army. There will be no mistakes."
Mang Mao said: "No. I am in the same court as Daliang Wei, and I secretly made a promise to my heart. To do something for the young master is not just justice, but also personal justice. Hai'er, it is not enough to have a young son, I hope the old man will teach you a lesson. Hai'er is rude,
Only courage is available and can be used as a pawn."
Wei Liao said: "Young Master has decided internally, and the best people will come forward, and he will be the governor."
Mang Mao said: "If someone violates the army and disobeys the order, he will be killed immediately and the whole army will be ordered...you must be careful and serve!"
Manghai chirped repeatedly. Wei Liao hurriedly explained: "On this trip, Mr. Zhong is determined to achieve great achievements and build great undertakings, so as to live up to the general's expectations."
Mang Mao said: "As long as you don't cause disaster and act according to the law, then your trip is worthwhile! How can Wei'er teach you a lesson?"
Wei Liao was startled and could not answer for a moment. Mr. Liang Wei just pretended not to hear. Mang Wei replied: "Young Master, Mr. Wei and all the gentlemen have personally taught me and learned a lot from me."
Mang Mao's expression did not change and he said: "You are a kid, you are going through a big event for the first time, so you should be careful in everything." Then he turned to the soldiers and the generals on the left and right and said: "The dog is shapeless, I hope you will be taught a lesson!" The two generals didn't know what they meant, so they both saluted.
Call it.
Wei Liao stepped forward and said, "Young master is about to go to the city. I would like to finish and march in order."
Mang Mao said: "Young Master and the other princes of the Wei family are at their own leisure. I and the generals are waiting here to see you, thinking that Young Master is going strong!"
Wei Liao said politely: "This is disrespectful!" Then Mr. Liang Wei and all the retainers left on their own. The two generals exchanged glances and stayed.
When Mr. Liang Wei and others entered the mansion, Mang Mao and Yan looked at the two military generals with joy and said: "The right general, Wei, dares to ask for the name of the left general."
General Zuo said politely: "My subordinate Wei Shihe."
Mang Mao said: "Both generals are from the Wei family, how dare they leave the royal family?"
The two generals exchanged glances again, and the right general came forward and replied: "Just the Marquis of Wen, and the Marquis of Wu."
Mang Mao changed his expression and saluted, saying: "It turns out that Mang lost respect after becoming a civil and military official. Mang traveled far and wide, and was chosen by Wei. He was able to feed the country and was willing to be loyal to the two princes."
The second general hurriedly returned the greeting: "How dare you, my subordinates! The general inherits the majesty of the king and is the commander-in-chief of China and foreign countries. No matter how high or low, they all obey orders. Who dares to disobey?"
The door of the Wei Mansion suddenly opened. Wei Liao led two servants to carry out an urn, placed it in front of Mangmao's cart, cupped his hands and said, "A urn of sake, to relieve fatigue with the general."
Mang Mao said: "Young Master is out in battle, how dare I say something and borrow wine to repay you." Then he got out of the car, scooped the wine himself, and handed it to the lieutenant first: "God protects me, I will grow strong as an old man, and the prestige of the Wei Mansion will be shown again." "
Wei Liao resigned and said: "How can Liao, a retainer, dare to inherit the general's gift?"
Mang Mao said: "The elder of the Wei Mansion, Mr. Wei, is worthy of his duties."
Wei Liao had no choice but to take it and drink it all, saying: "I can't stand this old minister, I thank you for your love, the general."
Mang Mao scooped up another one and handed it to the generals Wei He and Wei Guang. He said some routine rewards, followed by the captains and elders of the civilian army. Mang Chen, who had already distributed the festival talismans, stood at the station. Behind Mang Mao, Wei Liao and two servants of the Wei Mansion stood beside Mang Mao, and they all bowed their hands and saluted everyone. After a round of drinking, the urn had reached the bottom, the door of the Wei Mansion opened, a car came forward, and a customer greeted the door. , retainers and family members followed, about twenty or thirty people came to the Mangmao chariot and lined up in a row. Mr. Liang Wei, fully dressed in military uniform, saluted in the chariot and said: "I praise the military aircraft Wei Boji, please order me to go out into battle!"
The military generals, Mang Chen and the leaders of the civilian army were also listed after Mang Mao in terms of rank. Mang Mao bowed and said: "General Mang sends you off to Uncle Wei! Please be the leader!" He walked forward and took the driver of Mr. Liang Wei's car. The horse's head led him forward five steps to the center of the square, then turned back and got into the carriage. Wei Liao also stepped onto the carriage. Liang Weigong's carriage was in front, the general's carriage was in front, and the guard of honor was behind, rumbling forward. The rest of the generals and civilian troops were in Follow the car on foot.
Daliang is surrounded by city walls. Originally, soldiers from the front, rear, left, and right armies each guarded one side. After the front and rear armies were mobilized, the left and right armies were guarded on four sides. The left army guarding the south city was on the right side, closest to the enemy. The public discussion did not move lightly. Only the garrison was mobilized. The other three sides are out of the city. Normally, there is only a team of 100 people patrolling the city to look out. There are also gatekeepers guarding the city gates. They only maintain public order and open and close the city gates on time. The city guards rotate from time to time during the day and night. In a two-hour rotation, one battalion is enough to be on duty a day, and the soldiers are not nervous. But in wartime, the density of soldiers increases to one battalion on each side, and a team of crossbowmen is also sent to the city gate tower, so the distribution of troops is not so sufficient. , basically every soldier has to go to the city once a day. It has been five days since the news of Mangmao's defeat came, and Daliang has been on alert. Every soldier has to go to the city for one or two hours every day, day and night. His home is in the city. Those who live outside the city can still go home to eat and rest, but those who live outside the city are in trouble: a few who have relatives and friends in the city have someone to take refuge with; a few conscientious officers may place some soldiers in their own courtyards and let them go as they please. They took care of some housework for themselves; most of them had to sleep outside the city; they didn't bring enough food, so they had to borrow money temporarily.
