Chapter 587: The Fisherman's Profit
Mantuo scolded in Lin Hu language: "Sha Liao, you waste, hurry up and save me." Otherwise, after I return to Lin Hu, I will be able to kill your nine clans. ”
Mantuo threatened the chief of the guard named Sha Liao, but the threatening words had the opposite effect, he wanted to destroy the nine clans, so why did the chief of the guard of Sha Liao save him.
Mantuo was in a panic, and he couldn't think of a better choice of words and sentences, this threatening word was purely from his heart, but it also exposed his inconsiderate psychology and not taking the lives of his subordinates seriously.
The chief of the Shaliao guard was eager for Shi Hong, the general of the Qin State, to shoot Mantuo to death, in that way, he would be out of the sea of suffering, and he would no longer have to suffer his anger, and even almost died under his scimitar repeatedly.
The chief of the Shaliao guard would also be grateful to Shi Hong for saving his life, if Shi Hong hadn't inadvertently appeared when Mantuo was chasing and killing him, he would have died under Mantuo's scimitar.
Therefore, the head of the Shaliao guard turned a deaf ear, turned his head, and looked in the opposite direction, as if the other guards had not heard. These guards had bandaged Sha Liao's injured arm just now, but at this time, they simply followed him, completely gave up resistance, and were ready to be captured.
At this moment, all the soldiers of the Qin State were around, and most of the Lin Hu cavalry had been disarmed and returned to the camp, almost all of them were unarmed, where were the opponents of others. Therefore, no one can spare time to save Mantuo in distress.
Mantuo saw that his plea for help didn't work at all with the chief of the Shaliao guard, so he could only find a way to get out by himself. Shi Hong chased after him, and Mantuo decided to take advantage of the back corner of the camp to run outward, so that Shi Hong suddenly threw himself forward, and he himself opened a certain distance from Shi Hong.
After Mantuo decided, as he ran in a circle through the tent, he suddenly spun outward like a loose spinning top. Shi Hong really didn't expect his hand, and he opened a distance of about two or three zhang.
Shi Hong in the back pounced, and he scolded angrily: "The shaft is cunning, but do you think you can hide from Ergong me?" This time, it was a little difficult for him to catch up with Mantuo again, but Shi Hong didn't want him to run away.
In desperation, Shi Hong didn't care about capturing Mantuo alive, only to see him use the iron spear as a throwing weapon. The right arm swung back, and then threw it violently at the mantra, and with the help of the back swing, the spear flew straight towards the mantra with the sound of the wind.
With a thud, the spear passed through Mantuo's chest, and then the tip of the spear stabbed into the ground again, piercing his entire body like a flag, on the "flagpole" of the spear.
Shi Hong saw that Mantuo was undoubtedly dead, and then remembered that when he was chasing Mantuo just now, Mantuo had called for his companions to come to his rescue, and he thought to himself: "Those Mantuo's companions are quietly hiding, what are they going to do?" I can't let them run away. ”
Shi Hong went to fetch his spear, and then went to the tethered stake next to the tent, and he wanted to see if the mandal companions were still there.
When he ran there, he saw that those people had been captured by his Qin soldiers, and they were escorting Sha Liao and others to be disposed of.
Shi Hong stepped forward to torture them, trying to find out what the identities of these people were. Sha Liao had a very good impression of Shi Hong, because it was this general who solved Mantuo and removed this "demon" who did not pity his subordinates at all despite being of the same clan.
Sha Liao saw Shi Hong and hurriedly explained to Shi Hong in broken Central Plains dialect, he showed that he was not a general in the Linhu cavalry, but just a guard of the Chinese army.
Shi Hong looked at the sturdy Lin Hu man in front of him, as well as the few soldiers who followed him, and saw that they were not wearing armor and helmets, and he could see that these people were not high-ranking people. Moreover, Sha Liao didn't look very disgusted with Qin Jun's attitude.
Before the operation began, Shi Hong had paid attention to Prime Minister Zhang Yi's attitude, and felt that Prime Minister Zhang wanted to wipe out the Lin Hu people and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. However, when it really came time to attack these captives, Shi Hong still felt a little unbearable.
However, if Prime Minister Zhang Cheng had an order to execute all the remaining men and horses of Lin Hu's wolf cavalry, that would also be a common move. It's like a battle between the Qin army and Yiqu, and the monarch Yingsi ordered to kill all the captured Yiqu soldiers. In doing so, we also want to get rid of the calamities that come after.
Shi Hong didn't know what to do with Sha Liao and the others, and when he was hesitating, a war horse flew from a distance. The messenger of the Chinese army was riding on the war horse, and he roared to Shi Hong's side and said: "Pass on the order of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, just disarm the prisoners of the Lin Hu cavalry and postpone the execution." ”
After Shi Hong heard the new order, he breathed a long sigh of relief and felt that his nervousness had been relieved. But he thought about it again: "It's bad, that King Lin Hu Zuoxian named Mantuo was killed by me, how can this be good." ”
Shi Hong said to the herald: "I listened to Prime Minister Zhang's order, but you go back and tell the prime minister that before the prime minister's new order arrived, that mantuo had died under my spear." ”
When the herald heard this, his brows furrowed, and he thought, "This General Shi Hong is really brave enough, he killed the main general of the Lin Hu people so quickly!" However, Prime Minister Zhang still doesn't know, so I have to go back and report it quickly. ”
The herald arched his hand to Shi Hongyi and said, "I understand, please allow me to go back and pass the ceremony." As he spoke, he mounted his horse and returned to the location of the Chinese army of the Qin army.
At this time, the Chinese troops of the Qin army led by Zhang Yi arrived at the gate of the camp of the Lin Jackal cavalry, and he was followed by Gongsun Yanqi.
Originally, according to Zhang Yi's pre-war thoughts, he wanted to wipe out all the Lin Hu people and wipe out all of them under this Jinyang City, including generals and sergeants, and not a single one was left. This is also done in order to eradicate future troubles.
However, less than a quarter of an hour after the battle began, Gongsun Yan, the Taiwei Lieutenant of Wei, got the news of the infighting between the Qin army and the Lin Hu cavalry out of nowhere, and he hurried to Zhang Yi's place.
Gongsun Yan asked why the Qin army attacked Lin Hu Wolf's cavalry, and he said to Zhang Yi: "Lin Hu's Mantuo general repeatedly delayed military planes, first at the northern foot of Huo Tai Mountain, and we missed the best opportunity to seize the crown prince of Zhao State. This time, under Jinyang City, it was under his nose that the enemy trapped by Jinyang slipped away, which is really hateful! ”
Zhang Yi listened to Gongsun Yan's words, and clearly did not object to the surprise attack on the Lin Jackal cavalry launched by himself, he felt very relieved, and said: "It is very fortunate to have the support of General Gongsun. General, let's see how our Qin army executes that damned Mantuo. ”
Gongsun Yan shook his head and asked, "Mantuo deserves to die, but I don't know what to do with the wolf cavalry after Prime Minister Zhang Cheng defeated them?" ”
Zhang Yi replied truthfully: "I think we can not leave any of them behind, and all of them can be executed under this Jinyang City, so that after they return to Lin Hu's territory, they will make Lin Hu Shan Yu more angry and play with us, so that we can make enemies against the Lin Hu people." ”
Gongsun Yan smiled and said: "Prime Minister Zhang's proposition is not unavoidable, we can also blame the people of Zhao State, let's just say that it was the army of Zhao State that brutally killed all the wolf cavalry soldiers." When Lin Hu heard this, he didn't want to hate Zhao to death, and the hatred between the two countries became deeper and deeper. ”
Zhang Yi extended his thumbs to Gongsun and praised: "General Gongsun has foresight, and your suggestion is very clever. As a result, the people of Zhao Guo are unspeakable and unclear about their grievances. General Gongsun is a good trick to blame others, admire, admire! ”
Gongsun Yan shook his head again and said, "The idea of the last general is not the most clever. Zhang Chengxiang has not thought about it, the people of Zhao killed most of the wolf cavalry, and we executed the remaining remnants of the army under Jinyang City. In this way, the Lin Hu Wolf cavalry was wiped out, and the vitality of the Lin Hu people was severely damaged, but who was the biggest beneficiary? ”
When Zhang Yi heard this, he replied without thinking: "The wolf cavalry is gone, of course, it is the people of Zhao who have a deep hatred with the Linhu tribe who benefit the most. ”
He was also a smart person, and he immediately understood the meaning of Gongsun Yan's words, so Zhang Yi was shocked: "General Gongsun's intention, I understand it below, you are worried that we have eliminated the most wolf cavalry army, but we have done something wrong that is extremely beneficial to the people of Zhao State." ”
Gongsun Yan smiled and nodded. The so-called fans of the authorities, Zhang Yi was very angry at Mantuo's rudeness just now, and hated him for making mistakes, so he launched this raid on the wolf cavalry. But Gongsun Yan was an outsider, so he saw the possible consequences of this move more calmly.
After Zhang Yi understood, he hurriedly sent several heralds, asking them to urgently notify Shi Hong, Pang Ci and Ji Fen, ordering them to disarm the wolf cavalry army and not to kill.
However, just as Zhang Yi stepped into the camp gate of the wolf cavalry army and was about to come here in person to deal with the aftermath, the herald who had sent letters to the generals returned to the Chinese army. Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan heard the news that Shi Hong had killed Mantuo, and the two of them glanced at each other, and both frowned slightly.
Zhang Yi had a little complaint about his subordinate fierce general Shi Hong, but he was more impressed, thinking: "This Shi Hong is really a first-class fierce general in the Qin army, and he has solved the main general of the dignified wolf cavalry army so quickly." ”
As soon as Mantuo died, it brought a difficult problem, that is, how to pacify the remnants of the wolf cavalry, after all, Mantuo was their commander-in-chief, and now he died at the hands of his partner, which is difficult to say.
Zhang Yi looked at Gongsun Yan and found that he had also heard the reply of the herald, and was frowning and meditating. Zhang Yi already had some ideas, but he couldn't be sure, so he tentatively asked Ji Yu Gongsun Yandao: "General Gongsun, now that Mantuo is dead, what do you think we should do?" ”
Gongsun Yan said: "To say that this is indeed a thorny problem, as soon as Mantuo dies, the Lin Hu people will inevitably be unhappy. However, I think it is better to pacify and avoid confrontation and confrontation as much as possible. ”
