The herald stopped crying and replied to Zhang Yi, "He cursed the prime minister viciously and our Qin people. scolded the prime minister as a coward, a mercenary villain, insatiable, originally from Wei but defected to Qin, without a little moderation; scolded the Qin people for being incompetent, even if the Lin Hu people did not obey their orders, the Qin State could not help them; also said that the prime minister was treacherous and cowardly, and used the Linhu cavalry as a spearman, but he shrank behind like a turtle. ……”

Because the herald hated Mantuo, he not only relayed Mantuo's curse just now to Zhang Yi, but also exaggerated it with oil and vinegar, lest he not arouse the anger in Zhang Yi's chest.

Sure enough, after Zhang Yi listened to the herald's story, his face suddenly turned gloomy, as if the sky was covered with clouds. He gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes fixed on the herald, and he didn't say a word. There was a terrible silence for a quarter of an hour.

The herald saw that Zhang Yi was silent, so he was very surprised, so he secretly glanced at Zhang Yi twice, and when he saw it, he was frightened. Because Zhang Yi's expression at the moment was like an enraged tiger, his lips twitched, and his eyes revealed a terrifying fierce light.

Mantuo didn't care which country Zhang Yi was originally from. Although he also knew that Zhang Yi defected to Qin from Wei State, as a Linhu person from the Northland, in his eyes, there was not much difference between this Wei State and Qin State people, anyway, they were all Central Plains people.

However, this herald was a native of Qin, and he, like Sima Cuo and other local Qin soldiers, was of course very concerned about whether his commander was a native or not, after all, there had always been a struggle between the local ministers of Qin and foreign ministers, starting from the time of Qin Xiaogong and running throughout.

Because this little soldier was concerned about Zhang Yi's origin, when he rendered Mantuo's cursed words, he inadvertently brought out the words that Zhang Yi was a renegade and a mercenary to the Qin State.

And this point is deeply poking at Zhang Yi's sore spot, in his rather complicated life experience, this most difficult step to defect to the Qin State is a helpless choice, where did he originally want to attach to the Qin State! On the contrary, he initially took it as his life ambition to break through Qin.

Mantuo's cursed words, after being relayed by the herald, deeply pierced Zhang Yi's heart, as if a knife had slashed his flesh. What he is most afraid of is the sudden change in his life and the various changes brought about by it, including that he can't even protect his beloved wife Yao Yue, so that she sadly returned to her hometown alone.

And Mantuo not only bullied the weakness of the Central Plains people, bullied the forbearance of the Qin people, but also humiliated his own dignity. It's tolerable, it's unbearable. Zhang Yi's anger burned, and he made an astonishing decision at this impulsive moment.

He said to the trembling herald, "Call your companions together to deliver my orders among the three armies, and let all the generals of the army come to me." I want to have an important new command released. ”

The herald could tell from Zhang Yi's face that he might be about to take a major military move, but he didn't know what he wanted. With extreme caution, he promised, "The little one obeys, and this will be done." ”

The Qin army was originally marching along the official road from the south of Jinyang City, but because the road encountered the defeated Lin Hu Wolf cavalry, it temporarily stopped and waited for further orders from Prime Minister Zhang Yi, the chief general of the Chinese army. The generals of the three armies, including Shi Hong, Ji Fen, Pang Ci and other generals, all stood still for a long time, and they were all a little impatient to wait.

The Qin army came out early in the morning to pursue Zhou Shao, who was pretending to be the prince of Zhao, and later returned to the south of Jinyang City, and then followed Zhang Yi's orders to pursue and advance south. After a day of tossing back and forth, they only ate a few bites of dry bait cakes on the side of the road in a hurry at noon.

At this time, it was close to dusk, and the soldiers of the Qin army were inevitably a little restless, but there was a dispute between Mantuo and Zhang Yi again, and the movement of the entire army stopped again.

When the generals of the Qin army heard the instructions of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng sent by the heralds, most of them rushed to the command office of the Chinese army where Zhang Yi was located with a trace of resentment.

Zhang Yi saw that his generals were not in a high mood, and he also knew the reason, so he first comforted everyone a few words, Zhang Yi said: "The generals followed me Zhang Yi to the east, it was really hard work all the way, I thank you here." However, you will soon be able to return to Qin. ”

When Shi Hong and the others heard Zhang Yi's words, they immediately felt hopeful, and at this moment everyone was looking forward to ending this sneaky business as soon as possible. Everyone is wearing the costumes of the Hu people, pretending to be someone else, and performing unsightly tasks here, in fact, everyone is not very happy in their hearts.

Now that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng personally said that they would be able to return to Qin State soon, how could these people not be excited and happy. Shi Hong took the lead and said: "That's great, Prime Minister Rongyu, I don't want to wear this left-hand clothes anymore, this makes our relatives in the Qin State see it, and don't laugh off the big teeth." ”

As he spoke, he tugged at his pants again, and then said, "This tattered shin is also tightly wrapped around the waist, and the crotch is always tightly wrapped, which is very uncomfortable." It's still our original dress, which is more free and comfortable. ”

Zhang Yi glanced at Shi Hong, amused by his anxious and resentful expression, and he smiled slightly. I thought: "I think you are eager to return to the country, so I complain and be angry." The shin clothes of the Lin Hu people were originally like obscene pants with a crotch. Although the clothing system is different from the wide clothes and belts of our Central Plains people, if you really want to fight on horseback, in the end, the clothes of the Linhu people are simpler. ”

Of course, Zhang Yi would not debate with Shi Hong on the spot, the reason why he summoned the generals was to do another big thing. He said to the generals: "I have just received a report from the Lin Hu people, they have not caught up with the crown prince of Zhao, and this operation is very likely to end in vain. Generals, you might as well tell me what is the reason for the repeated setbacks in our military operation? ”

Zhang Yi said, turning his face to Shi Hong, who was complaining about Hu Ren's clothes just now, hoping that he would be the first to express his opinion and say what he wanted to hear for himself.

But Shi Hong is a straight person, he heard Zhang Yi's question, twisted his brows, and meditated, but he couldn't think of a reason for a while. He felt: "If you talk about the unsmooth operation of this military operation, there seem to be many aspects, first of all, this division is unknown and sneaky, which is probably the primary reason, right? And chasing a false target in a daze, only to find out that it was wrong in the end, and so on......"

Because he didn't think clearly, Shi Hong didn't rush to talk, but Pang Ci saw some of Zhang Yi's thoughts, and he replied tentatively: "Prime Minister Rongyu, the last general will talk nonsense about some of my opinions, if it is wrong, the prime minister is not to blame." The last general believed that if the culprit of the failure of this operation was first of all the Nalin Jackal Cavalry, they saw that the prince of Zhao was in front of them on the Dongyang slope at the northern foot of Huotai Mountain, and they were afraid of difficulties, preserved their strength, and let the prince slip away from under their noses. ”

"This time under Jinyang City, it was still from the direction they guarded that they let go of the prince of Zhao who had been trapped by us. If they can be more attentive, we will not be led by the nose of the Zhao people, working hard, but returning in vain. ”

Zhang Yi listened to Pang Ci's words, which could be said to be right in his own mind, so he couldn't help nodding his head, thinking: "This Pang Ci ghost spirit can be regarded as a capable and intelligent general in the Qin army, and he can be used for it in the future." ”

Zhang Yi replied: "General Pang is very reasonable, I also think that the behavior of the Lin Hu people this time is a little strange, not like they promised to repay us wholeheartedly. ”

Ji Fen, who was standing next to Pang Ci, also saw what Zhang Yi meant, and he hurriedly accosted, this person went through the battle of Michi, and had a very embarrassing war history.

However, Pang Ci, who was originally his subordinate, was strongly recommended by Sima Cuo, and he rose to prominence at once, and became the general of the Qin army's middle rank and ranked, on an equal footing with himself.

Ji Fen was not willing to be left behind, so he followed Zhang Yi's meaning and said: "Prime Minister Mingjian, the last general thinks that the Linhu people are clearly deliberately disrupting our action plan, and they are clearly helping us in the Qin State, and secretly it is no different from selling the Qin State." Maybe they harbor evil intentions, these guys, all of them are arrogant and rude, and they have always looked down on us Central Plains people. They accepted the gift of our Qin State, but they are very likely to bite us back. ”

Zhang Yi listened to Ji Fen's words, and nodded frequently, what Ji Fen said was in Zhang Yi's arms. With a look of indignation on his face, he said: "It seems that all the generals are sensible people, and you have all seen some hidden secrets in this operation. If I tell you about the worse words and deeds of the Linhu people, maybe you will have a better understanding of their scheming intentions. ”

Zhang Yi's eyes looked around, and he said solemnly: "Lin Hu's general Mantuo is now going to lead his subordinates and leave the battlefield without authorization, regardless of this, the most hateful thing is that he actually chased and killed a small soldier we sent to give orders in front of our Qin people. And constantly insulting us Qin people as cowards as mouses. ”

"I originally thought that although the Linhu people were rude, they were also good men who could afford to let go, but now it seems that they are capricious villains, and they are greedy people who eat people and do not spit out bones. How can we Qin people swallow this breath? ”

As soon as Zhang Yi's words were finished, Shi Hong, who was still hesitating just now, took the lead in expressing his position, and he said angrily: "What is there to be arrogant about the Lin Hu people, in my opinion, they are all reckless men who are not worth mentioning. The most unbearable thing for our Qin soldiers is this kind of arrogant guy with no one in his eyes, do you really think that we are afraid of the so-called wolf cavalry? ”
