"Huh?"

King Zhao Xiaocheng and the three of them looked at the black cloth in Zhang Mancang's hand suspiciously, "General Zhang is this, ......" King Zhao Xiaocheng asked puzzled.

Zhang Mancang said with a bitter face: "This piece of cloth was obtained from the hands of a personal soldier of the criminal minister, and it was torn from Qin Bing's body desperately when his sister was defiled by Qin Jun. ”

Zhang Mancang's words made the atmosphere in the hall instantly depressed, "When did it happen?" King Zhao Xiaocheng took the piece of cloth in Zhang Mancang's hand and asked softly.

"In the Battle of Changping, the criminal ministers led the remnants to break through the siege." Zhang Mancang replied.

King Zhao Xiaocheng didn't understand the deep meaning of Zhang Mancang taking out this piece of cloth at this time, his fingers gently rubbed the black cloth, and a sadness surged in his heart.

"General Zhang!"

After King Zhao Xiaocheng handed the cloth back to Zhang Mancang, he asked: "I don't know what this scrap of cloth has to do with Qin's 'Xuan', could it be that this scrap of cloth is the 'Xuan' person?" ”

Zhang Mancang carefully took the remnants into his arms and replied: "My king, if you follow General Fan's strategy, the people in my territory will never be at peace!" ”

"Oh? I don't know where the veteran marshal's words came from? Old Xiangguo interjected and asked.

Zhang Mancang replied: "There are two reasons for returning to the old Xiangguo: first, strangling Qin 'Xuan' is naturally a top priority and an urgent matter, but if you follow General Fan's high-pressure purge strategy, not to mention that our country has enough soldiers available, I am afraid that the implementation can only make our army exhausted, if it really comes to that time, the enemy is dark and I am clear, and the situation of my Great Zhao State will be more passive!" ”

"Second!"

Zhang Mancang raised his hand and stretched out two fingers and continued: "If you take tough measures against Qin 'Xuan', I am afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry, and thus do something that harms the people in my township!" And this is what the sinner is most worried about! ”

Fan Cheng couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and said: "I'm afraid of this and that, so don't I, the Great Zhao State, have nothing to do about this Qin thief?" Afraid that the people in the village will be killed? Hehe...... Brother Zhang, you must have forgotten, the soldiers under your account seem to have been recruited from the people in the township, right? ”

Fan Chengxian's voice was nothing more than a reminder to Zhang Mancang not to be too pessimistic about the current situation, as long as the townships and townships of the counties and counties could unite and collude, Qin 'Xuan' would not have the slightest chance. Zhang Mancang could naturally hear what Fan Cheng meant, but he still shook his head and denied: "The combat power of Qin's 'Xuan' General Fan must have seen it when he controlled the 'underworld', and ordinary soldiers are like lambs in front of them, without the power to resist!" What's more, the 'Xuan' people are good at night attacks, so since then, people in my Zhao country will be panicked, and the whole country will not be at peace all day long! ”

Zhang Mancang's words made Zhao Xiaocheng's already solemn face add a few traces of sadness, "How about the veteran general?" King Zhao Xiaocheng asked.

Zhang Mancang replied: "My king, if you want to effectively restrain Qin 'Xuan', you must loosen the outside and tighten the inside!" ”

"Oh?"

Zhao Xiaocheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "I don't know what kind of policy is to loosen the outside and tighten the inside?" ”

Zhang Mancang said: "My king, although General Fan's high-pressure purging strategy is inappropriate, the strategy of letting the 'underworld' soldiers divide into two ways is very wonderful!" The criminal thinks that the matter of strangling Qin 'Xuan' must be done in secret, and the secret must be used to control the secret, so as not to make a fuss and provoke everyone in the world. ”

Regarding what Zhang Mancang said, the three of them all nodded their heads after hearing this, and King Zhao Xiaocheng continued to ask with interest: "Old general, how can you say that this is to control darkness with darkness?" ”

Zhang Mancang saw that Zhao Xiaocheng and Wang were quite interested in his remarks, and his originally frosted eggplant-like languishing old face was flushed with excitement.

"My king, the criminal ministers think that the battle to strangle Qin 'Xuan' must be done secretly outside the territory without leaving a trace, and internally, it must be braked quietly, so as not to startle the snake!" When Zhang Mancang said this, he took out a delicately crafted iron short knife from his arms and handed it to King Zhao Xiaocheng.

For Qin's short knife, King Zhao Xiaocheng, as the king of a country, has naturally seen it, and even has many of it himself, in his opinion, it is surprising and envious that Barbarian Qin can refine such a sharp weapon.

"Veteran Zhang, this is ......"

"My king, this short knife was obtained by the criminal minister in Xiali Village." Zhang Mancang replied.

"Shimosato Village ......"

King Zhao Xiaocheng muttered in his mouth, and his heart couldn't help but sink, he seemed to realize what it meant for this short knife to appear in Xiali Village.

"In this way, wouldn't the abandoned townships around Handan have already become a place for the 'Xuan' people to turn around?"

"Not only around the capital, but also in the ruins southwest of the southern city, just as my king was worried! The day before yesterday, dozens of corpses were searched here, all of which were equipped with this short knife, presumably it must be Qin 'Xuan'! Zhang Mancang replied.

"Shhh...... This ......"

Zhang Mancang's words made the three of them gasp, "Could it be that someone deliberately blames the Qin State to provoke a war between the two countries to benefit the fisherman?" Fan Cheng interjected.

Zhang Mancang said no when he heard this, and King Zhao Xiaocheng was puzzled and asked, "Why not?" ”

"My king, this short knife is extremely difficult to refine, and all countries cannot imitate it, so it cannot be done by other countries." Zhang Mancang said with a solemn face.

"If it is really as Zhang Jiangshuai said...... Hiss...... Could that be Barbarian Qin Shi's 'bitter meat plan'? Old Xiangguo spoke.

Zhang Mancang shook his head and denied without thinking about it: "'Xuan' people can be ten with one, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate!" King Qin categorically would not use these people to do any bitter tricks! ”

"What about using me Zhao?" Lao Xiangguo asked.

Although Lao Xiangguo's words were extremely indifferent, they made the other three feel cold in their hearts, and the hall was silent again. King Zhao Xiaocheng was at a loss at this time, and he couldn't help but be afraid in his heart, "How many 'Xuan' people are still lurking in this city!" King Zhao Xiaocheng secretly complained bitterly.

The four of them were silent and thoughtful, pestle in the main hall with half a cup of tea, Zhang Mancang shook his head slightly again in denial, but after a few breaths, he fell into painful contemplation.

"Shimosato Village...... The ruins ...... the 'Hades' station......"

Zhang Mancang couldn't stop talking about these three places, and at this time he wanted to know if what happened in these three places was intentional by Qin 'Xuan'? If not, then by whom or by what force? Why is it that the people who were killed in Xiali Village and the 'Hades' station were all stabbed in the heart, but the entities were burned in the ruins......

Zhang Mancang's mind was like a mess at this time, "This person is an enemy or a friend!" Zhang Mancang's heart was so confused that he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

"Friend or foe?"

Zhang Mancang's words seemed to remind Lao Xiangguo of something, and then his old eyes lit up......
