Zhang Yi nodded and responded to Gongsun Yan: "The general's words are exactly what I want." I think that the Nalin Jackal Cavalry also had a deep dissatisfaction with Mantuo, complaining that he was drunk and misbehaved, and made frequent mistakes in the use of troops, resulting in the death of most of his companions at the hands of the Zhao people. ”

Gongsun Yanha laughed and said, "We can take advantage of the resentment against Mantuo within the Wolf Cavalry Army and make some trouble. He thought for a moment and suggested: "In the name of the coalition army, it is better to announce to the wolf cavalry that Mantuo has been removed from the battlefield because he violated the military order and delayed the military plane." However, he himself refused to accept it, and resisted stubbornly, and finally had to kill him in order to save the remaining troops of the wolf cavalry. ”

Zhang Yi also felt that the excuse made up by Gongsun Yan was very appropriate and appropriate. He also laughed and praised Gongsun Yandao: "General Gongsun is wise. ”

Gongsun Yan raised his head proudly, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed a few times. Zhang Yi saw that he was really very complacent, and felt that it was not a taste. Because, he didn't think of these words, but because he wanted to unify his opinion with Gongsun Yan, he guided Gongsun Yan to say it.

However, the direct consequence of knowingly asking questions is to fuel Gongsun Yan's arrogance, and over time, how can he take Zhang Yi in his eyes.

Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan said as they walked, and they arrived in front of Mantuo's tent together. The two of them got off their horses, and Shi Hong greeted them, and he bowed to Zhang Yi.

Shi Hong was worried that Zhang Yi would blame him for getting rid of Mantuo, so he explained: "Prime Minister Rongyu, that Mantuo is really hateful, he is cunning and sinister,......

Shi Hong then told Zhang Yi about the battle with Mantuo just now, of course, he also spoke in the direction that was beneficial to himself, highlighting Mantuo's ruthlessness and his helplessness.

Zhang Yi saw that Shi Hong was a little anxious, and he smiled, showing that he didn't blame Shi Hong. Shi Hong saw Zhang Yi's relaxed expression, and then put a heart in his stomach.

Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan wanted to make up Mantuo's stubborn resistance, and they were worried that Shi Hong's battle with Mantuo would be seen by the Lin Hu people, so they asked Shi Hong: "When General Shi executed Mantuo just now, were there anyone else at the scene?" ”

Shi Hong thought for a while, then pointed to the chief of the Shaliao guard near the tethered horse stake that was still outside the big tent, and said: "In the fight just now, in addition to those few, the other Linhu cavalry themselves were also surrounded, and they didn't know about it. ”

Zhang Yi ordered his subordinates to bring Sha Liao and the others to him, and he briefly asked Sha Liao's identity, wanting to weigh whether these guards should be executed together.

Sha Liao is a man who has risen from the slaves, and he can obtain the current status of the chief of the guard, all thanks to his ability to observe words and feelings. When he saw Zhang Yi's expression, he almost guessed what Zhang Yi was thinking.

Sha Liao thought to himself: "This prime minister of the Qin State probably doesn't like Mantuo very much, and he is thinking about whether to kill us and bury Mantuo!" I have to defend myself, and I must not die for the sake of a general I hate. ”

Sha Liao hurriedly explained to Zhang Yi in a slightly lame Central Plains dialect: "Mantuo, he is a bad guy, he eats and drinks and makes mistakes, and he beats the soldiers, and he really dies well. ”

Zhang Yi let out a "hmm", feeling a little surprised in his heart, with his previous experience, people like this kind of general's guards or something are the most difficult to take, because they get along with the general for a long time, and they will be loyal to each other. But this chief guard of Mantuo was completely different.

Zhang Yi asked, "What's your name?" How did you follow Zuo Xianwang Mantuo? ”

Sha Liao noticed that things had taken a turn for the better, so while thinking about how to find the right Zhongyuan dialect, he cried bitterly, and told Zhang Yi and others in detail about Mantuo's bullying of him and the other guards, and how Mantuo got so drunk when the military situation was at its most urgent, that he allowed the prince of Zhao in Jinyang City to swagger through the Lin Hu Wolf cavalry camp.

As Sha Liao spoke, he also asked a few guards for their reconciliation from time to time in Lin Hu, and of course those guards also nodded frequently, indicating that they completely agreed with Sha Liao's words.

From the process of telling and comparing with them, Zhang Yi heard the fundamental reason for the defeat of the Lin Jackal cavalry this time, which was undoubtedly Mantuo's arrogance and negligence.

Zhang Yi couldn't stop nodding, and felt that Mantuo was really innocent, this person not only seemed to have offended the people of Qin, but even his own compatriots hated him, which was simply ridiculous, but it was a pity that he was originally deceived by his superficial babbling, and lacked a deep understanding of him.

Zhang Yi thought to herself: "The problem of this mantuo seems to be the same as that of many nobles in the Central Plains, that is, relying on his noble birth, no one in his eyes, and no way. He didn't even show compassion to the guards around him, and blindly punished and chased him, so he didn't kill himself. It must be known that the closer people are, the more they can't treat them simply, let alone shouting and killing at will. ”

Zhang Yi was thinking about Mantuo's mistakes, Sha Liao saw him groaning again, and couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart, he thought about what information he could use or something, and told Zhang Yi that he could impress him. Because Sha Liao is serving in the Chinese army, he naturally has his own unique secrets in this regard.

What's more, before he participated in the wolf cavalry operation, he was already working in the royal court of Shan Yu, and he knew more about the secrets of this wolf cavalry operation.

Sha Liao suddenly thought of the internal response of the Zhao State, who was said to be a high-ranking nobleman of the Zhao State and a close relative of the clan, and had always been in contact with the Lin Hu Wang Court and the Zuoxian King Mantuo.

Sha Liao thought to himself: "What I know about the situation in Zhao's country, Zhang Yi and the others will definitely be interested, because they didn't capture the prince of Zhao, and they are thinking about how to recover their losses?" ”

Sha Liao knew the name of Zhao in the country, and also knew the specific process of his interaction with the Lin Hu people, and the information in these aspects was enough to impress Zhang Yi, the prime minister of the Qin State.

Thinking of this, Sha Liao said to Zhang Yi: "The little courage to ask the honorable Prime Minister Zhang Cheng of the Qin State can pardon the encircled Lin Hu cavalry, these people are all innocent." The Wolf Cavalry had already lost most of their troops, and what was left was no longer of great use. ”

He looked at Zhang Yi fixedly, and said rather mysteriously: "If Prime Minister Zhang Cheng agrees to this request, I can reveal a vital piece of information to you." ”

The remaining 10,000 wolf cavalry soldiers who were surrounded and disarmed by the Qin army, Zhang Yi had already decided to release them, but he didn't announce it. He didn't expect that the little guard Changsha Liao would have the courage and courage to ask for the life of the wolf cavalry.
