Daliang Wei and his party took the boat until Xingyang landed. The fall of Qifeng seemed to have really knocked Daliang Wei down. Overnight, he was no longer as decisive as before, spoke very little, and even his stalwart body seemed to have shrunk.

He allowed Lu Bo to arrange for him to go ashore, and hired a carriage at the nearby Guanyi. After loading the grain into the carriage, he was about to resign. Seeing that Daliang Wei was confused, all the princes asked the Lu brothers to accompany him; Daliang Wei also

Holding one hand by the other, they said: "My heart is in confusion and I can't cope with the situation. I only hope that Uncle Lu and Zhongtai will send me one more way to the army. I am deeply grateful." The Lu brothers looked at this group of people. The old man was in despair, and the young man was in despair.

He was so timid and cowered that he didn't look like he was going to die. He sighed in his heart and had to promise, saying: "For example, Lieutenant Daliang and the other gentlemen must be accompanied by a certain class, and they don't need to change their clothes. They will only transport food as a merchant."

Everyone agreed. So the three elders, Daliang Wei and the Lu brothers, rode in front of the carriage. Each of the young masters held a stick and sat on the ox cart carrying grain. The owner of the cart drove along the road outside the Great Wall.

We walked along the main road. It was already dusk when we met Lord Xinling's rear army.

Daliang Wei was still not confused, and went through the festival rituals according to the ritual, but unexpectedly discovered that Jin Bi was actually in the rear army. Although Jin Bi and Daliang Wei did not have much contact, after all, they were ministers in the same dynasty and saw each other all the time. Now that they met on the battlefield, they were actually the same

Feeling of mutual pity. Jin Bi hurriedly welcomed Daliang Wei to the rear army's main tent and met with the rear army general Pian and others. Hearing that Daliang Wei was out of the battle to reply to Lord Ling, the officials did not dare to neglect and hurriedly dispatched

A group of soldiers escorted Lieutenant Daliang and his entourage directly into the small town where Lord Xinling was located. The Lu brothers and a hired car owner were asked to go to the small town.

Xingyang is nominally a Korean territory. The officials sent here by the King of Han must first be well-rounded and have good relations with all parties, otherwise they will not be able to stay for a day. There is no strong army stationed here, but it does not mean that the force is weak.

The struggle for power here is almost all based on the background of force. Weapons produced from all directions are also gathered here, but it is impossible to be publicly listed, but as long as you have money, there is nothing you can’t buy. Daliang Wei’s original plan was that after arriving in Xingyang,

He used the power of the Wei State here to purchase equipment for his small team. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Not only were these young men unable to change their clothes in Xingyang, they were not even able to change into short browns. They still went to the military camp in tatters.

I felt a little unhappy in my heart.

Mang Shen revisited his hometown and felt infinite emotions in his heart. He was dressed in short brown clothes and holding a wooden stick in his hand. He was sitting alone on an ox cart transporting grain. There was only the owner of the cart beside him. The owner of the cart was naturally arranged by Wei Guoyang.

He also knew that these people were not ordinary business travelers. They all had great backgrounds, so he was very careful in his heart. Mang Shen was most concerned about the fiasco a few days ago. On the way, he asked the car owner in a casual tone:

"A few days ago, many people from my great Wei died here. What was the reason?"

The car owner glanced at this young man who spoke freely and said: "This young man, it is better to say less about military and state affairs."

Mang Shen said: "Why is this so? Everyone in Daliang City has talked about it."

The car owner asked: "What does Daliang talk about?"

Mang Shen said: "It's nothing more than saying that the general is incompetent. Two thousand elites and one thousand soldiers will be wiped out in half a day."

The car owner said: "How could anyone in Daliang City know that the battlefield is dangerous?"

When Mang Shen heard this, he immediately became interested and asked: "What's so dangerous about this battlefield? I'd like to tell you, I'm very knowledgeable."

The car owner said: "Is this your first time, young master?"

Mang Shen said: "The boy is young and has not yet encountered the battle."

The car owner said: "When you go out into battle, you either stand out or your head falls to the ground. With a snap, there will be results."

Mang Shen said: "Then the day before yesterday, why was the Wei army completely defeated? Two thousand elite soldiers were slaughtered, and not even one of them escaped?"

The owner of the car said: "If there are two thousand people, if they want to escape, naturally a few can escape. But Wei Lu escaped before the battle, and the whole family was sitting together. So he had to die alone, so that the whole family would be safe."

Mang Shen said: "It turns out that the laws of Wei are so severe, I understand. Two thousand dead soldiers fighting to the death will definitely be able to kill a lot of Qin troops!"

The owner of the car said: "Young Master is indeed out in battle for the first time. When two armies are fighting in front of the formation, fighting with all your strength is of use? When you see the enemy formation rolling in, no matter what sharp weapons you have in your hand, it is useless."

Mang Shen said: "Then the enemy's formation moves forward, what should I do?"

The car owner said: "The only thing we can do is to stand in the formation and keep the formation stable. When fighting, it depends on the virtue of our ancestors."

Mang Shen said: "How old is my father?"

The driver said: "I went out into battle at the age of fifteen, and I will be five again in this year's thirtieth year."

Mang Shen said: "My father is such a hero, why shouldn't he be a soldier?"

The owner of the car said: "You are a warrior hero, but he is not worthy of being a warrior. Young heroes such as young masters are not warriors either."

Mang Shen said: "How dare you, young man, do this! The warriors raised an army from Wu Zi, and one is equal to ten. Why is it so unbearable?"

The owner of the chariot said: "Wu Zi and the most inferior men and so on, who are they now? In the leisure time of farming, all countries have adopted this practice to train soldiers, and the soldiers have become easy."

Mang Shen said: "My father has such knowledge, he must have been in and out of the temple."

The owner of the car laughed and said: "How dare I accept the kindness of the young master!"

As the motorcade passed through a field, the owner of the car pointed out from a distance: "There is a battlefield ahead of you. As long as you go and take a look, you will have the answer to everything."

When Mang Shen heard this, he wanted to get out of the car and go there immediately, but he could only shout in his heart and did not dare to bring it up. Lieutenant Liang was distraught and the morale of the whole team was low. If he made any additional demands at this time, he would only become a public enemy and would not be used again in the future.

Don't get mixed up among the young masters either. He can only look at you from a distance with reluctance, and doesn't even stand high.

The owner of the car said: "Yesterday, a Wei army gathered the bones, and now there is nothing left to see."

Mang Shen was surprised: "Yesterday? Where was the Wei army?"

The owner of the car said: "Of course it's the Wei army that just lost the battle. They really didn't care about face: the Xing army fought and killed in the front, but the rear army didn't move. It took three days to collect the corpses."

Mang Shen's face turned red and he didn't know what to say. On the one hand, he recognized that his father had acted cautiously, but on the other hand, he believed that his father's rebuke was not unreasonable and seemed to have sufficient reasons.

After a moment of silence, Mang Shen said: "On the day the Wei army was defeated, my father was in Xingyang City?"

The car owner said: "Where else can it be?"

Mang Shen said: "How did the old man know the details of the defeat?"

The car owner said: "Young master, if you take a closer look, you will understand clearly at a glance."

Mang Shen said: "Old father, do you want to take a look?"

The owner of the car said: "Why don't you go? You don't know, no matter whether you win or lose, stripping off clothes, armor and weapons is a very profitable business. How can we, the profiteers, just sit back and watch!"

Mang Shen felt bitter and disgusted in his heart, and said: "Is it true that I also peel off the armor of the dead in battle?"
