Mantuo heard the words from the translator, gave Zhang Yi a thumbs up, and said a call, Zhang Yi looked at his demeanor, and judged that Mantuo was probably praising himself for his wonderful use of soldiers. Sure enough, when translated, it was exactly that.

Zhang Yi also gave a thumbs up to Mantuo and praised him in turn. Mantuo Dalu laughed, and said to Zhang Yi through the translator: "The Linhu cavalry I led this time are all knights from a hundred, and this unit is called the 'wolf cavalry army' in the Linhu tribe, because the flag and emblem of the unit have a wolf head with teeth and claws, so it has such a good name." Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang Yi of the Qin State, our wolf cavalry army has not yet had an invincible battle! ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he thought: "No wonder I always think that the banner of the Lin Hu cavalry is very eye-catching, it turns out that the hideous face painted on it is a wolf's head!" ”

However, he also felt that the wolf head was too ostentatious and dazzling, and he didn't like it very much, so he didn't dare to agree with Mantuo's so-called "good name". However, the Lin Hu people sent their own elite cavalry to watch the house, and it seems that they really made a bloody investment.

In order to mobilize the Linhu people to participate in the war, Zhang Yi persuaded King Qin Yingsi to give the Linhu tribe 30,000 husks of corn and 10,000 horses of various silk brocades, which are rare good things for the Linhu people.

In addition, Zhang Yi knew that the border disputes between the Lin Hu people and the Zhao State were continuous, and they had a deep blood feud with each other, so he sent an envoy who was fluent in the Lin Hu language to the royal court of Lin Hu Shan Yu for only one time, and then said that he had moved Shan Yu to send troops. It's just that Zhang Yi didn't expect Lin Hushan Yu to be so generous, and he actually sent an elite army, the wolf cavalry.

Zhang Yi raised his hands this time and gave two thumbs up, and when Mantuo saw this, he smiled even more. He pointed forward with his right hand, ordered the troops of the Linhu people to move forward, and then galloped away with his own horses. Hula-la-di, a large area of cavalry galloped forward after Mantuo.

Zhang Yi also urged his own troops, led the army to chase from behind, and within two or three miles, the vanguard discovered the tail of Gongsun Yan's troops. Zhang Yi was overjoyed and thought, "It seems that my judgment is not wrong at all." ”

He hurriedly ordered the heralds to quickly go to the front and deliver a message to Gongsun Yan, explaining the location of the Qin army.

Gongsun Yan heard the news from Zhang Yi, and he also paused slightly and waited for Zhang Yi. The two met, bowed their hands slightly, and bowed roughly. Gongsun Yan wiped his sweat and shouted to Zhang Yi and said, "Prime Minister Zhang, don't let Zhao Yong slip away." ”

Zhang Yi also nodded and said: "General Gongsun, don't worry, I have sent Zuoxian Wang Mantuo to lead the elite cavalry to detour to the past, and the Lin Hu people have superb riding skills, and they will definitely be able to intercept and kill the prince of Zhao smoothly." ”

Gongsun Yan said: "Then I will rest assured." As soon as these turtle grandsons got off the mountain road, they slipped away very fast, and I couldn't catch up with them when I was chasing after them. was in a hurry, and Prime Minister Zhang Cheng arrived. ”

Gongsun Yan said again: "But I'm relieved at this time, with the Lin Hu people chasing in front, the prince of Zhao will definitely fall into our pocket array." ”

Although Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan were full of confidence in the Lin Hu cavalry, the 20,000 Qin and Wei coalition troops led by themselves did not dare to slack off in the slightest, so they issued another order, ordering the officers and men of the three armies to rush forward.

In less than half an hour, Gongsun Yan saw Zhao Yong's team again. He was slow on the path in the valley just now, so although he found Zhao Yong's car, he was able to speed up when he reached the flat ground, while he himself was difficult to progress, so he quickly lost his trace.

Now that Gongsun Yan vaguely saw the banner of the prince's car again, how could he not be excited. The prince's car is tall and eye-catching, and the wall is painted with cyan dragon patterns, and there is a tall flag erected on the top, which is an obvious live target.

Zhao Yong encountered the most urgent situation at this time, and the dozen or so guards who had taken the lead just now encountered the large army of the Lin Hu people, their faces turned pale with fright, and they hurriedly turned their horses' heads and ran backwards.

The guards reported the news to Zhao Yong and Zhao Xiyu that the road ahead was blocked, and Zhao Yong himself was so frightened that his face was bloodless, his lips were blue, his voice trembled, and he asked Zhao Xidao: "Doctor Zhao, what do you think should be done now?" ”

Zhao Xi looked around and found that the terrain around him was relatively flat, and he thought about it and retreated, it must not work, because since the Lin Hu people could go around to the front to intercept, how could there be no pursuers behind?

To the south, there is a mountain range, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and I am afraid that after a few steps, I will be caught.

Zhao Xi thought to himself: "For today's plan, I can only try my luck in the north, and I can reach Jinyang City in the north, and hide in Jinyang City, maybe I can use the protection of the city to temporarily avoid the pursuit of the Lin Hu people." ”

But even to the north, Zhao Xi is not completely sure, because when his side acts, how can the opponent wait? They must have followed closely. At this time, heading north, although it was flat land, there were no roads, and the prince's car was still a big problem, and it had to be discarded.

Zhao Xi didn't have time to think about whether it was appropriate, he said to the prince: "We can only advance north to see if we can rush to Jinyang City to take refuge." The situation is urgent, please make sure the prince gets out of the car and rides forward, otherwise everything will be over. ”

Zhao Xi was a little angry, and thought: "It's all your prince's car that caused trouble, and he was reluctant to throw it away, and people carried the horses along the way, which slowed down the speed of travel." Otherwise, why be so embarrassed? ”

At the most critical juncture, Zhao Xi could no longer pretend to be a good person with the prince, he clearly said that he must abandon the car and flee north to Jinyang on horseback. Zhao Xi said: "Even so, Weichen feels that the possibility of us escaping is very small. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wanwang made a quick decision. ”

When the crown prince Zhao Yong was blocked in front and back, where could he still take care of the score, he jumped out of the carriage and ordered the guards around him: "Quick, you quickly untie the horses from the carriage for me, and I will ride away." ”

In a panic, there was no surplus saddle sheath, Zhao Yong looked at the horse pulling the cart and found that it was sweating on its back. The prince frowned, he felt that he could hardly bear to ride on such a dirty horse.

Zhao Xi saw his difficulty, so he jumped off the back of his war horse, led it to the prince's side, and said, "This horse of mine is equipped with a saddle sheath, the prince should ride it away, let me ride the horse without a saddle." ”

The prince was very happy, he nodded, and said to Zhao Xi gratefully: "Xie Lu Xie Doctor Zhao is complete, I will definitely thank you again in the future." ”

However, the prince stepped on the horse, but he felt that he was embarrassed, because he was still wearing a deep coat, which was a large piece of cloth wrapped in layers of his body, and under the deep coat, there were two long legs wearing a shin robe, but there was no **** to cover the place near the root of the thigh.

Riding on a horse in such a way was undoubtedly a sin, and the prince had stopped less than ten steps forward before the prince stopped. He asked for a change in the way he rode his horse, no longer straddled the horse, but instead sat on the saddle of the horse.

Then he urged the war horse again, and in this way, he ran forward less than a hundred zhang, and the war horse inevitably fell limp in the process, and Zhao Yong fell off the horse with a stumble.

Zhao Yong's face was so angry that he really wanted to scold the horse for being disobedient, but after thinking about it again, in fact, what is wrong with the horse, it is honest and obedient enough, if you want to hate, you should hate this deep-clothed clothing, which is too unsuitable for riding horses.

Zhao Xi saw that the prince had fallen off the war horse, and he also jumped off the war horse and came to visit.

Zhao Xi had a prescient reputation, and like some of the first people in Zhao at that time, he changed to wear middle pants inside, with a belt tightly tied at the waist of the trousers, and changed the curved skirt of the deep coat to a straight skirt, cutting off the excess part.

His costume is a big step forward from the way of the crown prince Zhao Yong, but in terms of riding, compared with Hu Ren's trousers and short coats, he is still a big step behind in flexibility.

The prince glanced at Zhao Xi and complained loudly: "This deep coat is too cumbersome, especially when riding a horse, it is simply a crime." If one day I become in power, I must have broken the habit of wearing deep clothes to the court. And we must first start from the army, so that the athletes in the army will suffer less hardship. ”

When Zhao Xi heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "Long live, Weichen is waiting for His Highness's words." People say that the king has no jokes, Weichen will always remember what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said today to improve the uniform system of the Zhao State, and the Prince of Wanwang will remember today, so as not to disappoint the people of the Zhao State and discourage the generals in the army. ”

The prince saw that Zhao Xi actually fell to his knees with a thud, and forced himself to admit that what he said today was true, he was about to argue a few words, but Zhao Xi mobilized the surrounding guards again, and he shouted to the surrounding guards: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't kneel down and thank the prince for showing compassion to the people." ”

The guards didn't know the inside story, but Zhao Xi had an order, and they followed the action, and everyone knelt on the ground in anger, saying: "Fortunately! Luckily! ”

In this way, the prince can't get off the stage, and he is embarrassed to take back his words. So, he said in a daze: "That's it, you guys hurry up, let's hurry." ”

Zhao Xi got up at this time, he came up with a way, took off his outer robe, put the prince on the saddle, and then let the prince get on the horse. This time, thanks to the padded underneath his buttocks, the saddle sheath no longer rubbed against his smooth thighs, and the prince felt much more comfortable.

After that, the crown prince and Zhao Xi beat their horses and whips, and fled north with the strength of milk. However, after all, it was still a step too late, and this toss wasted a lot of precious time, and the Qin and Wei coalition forces led by Zhang Yi and the Linhu cavalry led by Mantuo gathered together, and they found that the prince of Zhao had lost his trace.

At this time, even a child knew which direction the prince of Zhao would flee to, because except for the north, several other directions were a dead end.
