Chapter 57: In the Clouds...
Not to mention that Zhang Yang, who could only read a few words, thought the letter was not good enough. Xi Zhicai even laughed so hard when he saw Qiao Yan carefully drawing the ox horn pattern that he almost fell down.
"Qiao Hou is really..." He laughed for a long time and came to a conclusion, "It's really a stroke of genius."
Previously, Qiao Yan thought that the story of Guangwu eliminating bandits, which Xi Zhicai asked her to mention in the letter, was a stroke of genius, but now Xi Zhicai has thrown this evaluation back at her.
But her move is undoubtedly in line with Zhang Niujiao's positioning.
Moreover, what is revealed in this letter is not just illiteracy.
This is also the most suitable letter to be delivered to the bandits in Yunzhong Mountain.
Zhang Liao went up Yunzhong Mountain, but before he had gone halfway he was blocked by bandits in the mountain.
But he and Zhang Yang immediately knocked the person who blocked the road to the ground, and then claimed that he was commissioned by the leader of the Black Mountain Army to deliver a letter. After the other party looked at his dress for a long time, he chose to bring him to the leader of the Yunzhong bandits.
The bandit leader had some facial features of a Hu person, and his deep eyes and high nose made him look even more majestic.
He nonchalantly played with the long sword in his hand, looked at Zhang Liao, and asked, "I heard that Zhang Niujiao has been captured by Leping Hou. Since he is a prisoner, why should I ask you to come and find me? Or, how can I ask you to come and find me?"
The second half of the sentence clearly expresses doubt about Zhang Liao's identity.
Fortunately, although Zhang Liao looked upright and did not look like a former bandit, Zhang Yang next to him had a rather rough and unruly air, which eased the bandit leader's doubts a little.
The two had already prepared themselves mentally before going up the mountain. They were both quite courageous and did not show any fear when facing each other's questioning.
Zhang Liao raised his voice and replied, "You are wrong. General Niu Jiao underestimated Leping's strength. I wonder if that county marquis could persuade the people of the county to submit in just one month. There are also Luoyang Northern Army stationed in the county, so we were defeated. But a temporary defeat is nothing."
The bandit leader raised his chin, motioning him to continue.
"The situation is different now. Leping Hou became complacent after his victory and even allowed some of us to move around the county and help with farming. General Niu Jiao wanted to break away from his control, so he found an opportunity for the two of us to come and seek external help. If this is successful, we will divide the wealth of the county with him."
"We have our own manpower. If we invite reinforcements to act as a trigger to create an opportunity, then we will each contribute our share of effort."
As he said this, he took note of the expression of the leading bandit.
Just as Qiao Yan guessed, the way the other party acted in Taiyuan was enough to show that he had the intention of stealing but not much courage, and was extremely cautious. It was not easy to make him believe that there was indeed profit in it and to make him let down his guard.
Also, Zhang Liao had knocked down quite a few of them when he went up the mountain, and now there were several people with weapons between him and the bandit leader. No matter how brave he was, he couldn't kill the bandit leader directly.
We really have to take it step by step.
He pretended to be a member of the Black Mountain Army facing ordinary bandits with a bit of arrogance, as if he had suppressed it a little because he really needed the other party's help. The bandit leader frowned at the sight, but because he was skeptical about what he said, he had no intention of getting angry for the time being.
He then saw Zhang Liao handing something to him and said, "This is a letter from General Niu Jiao to you."
letter?
This bandit leader was the son of a Han woman abducted by a mixed Hu people. After Qiao Yan determined his identity based on the information provided by Wang, he felt that he was most likely similar to the Jie people of later generations, and estimated that he probably didn't recognize many words.
In fact, this guess is indeed correct.
When he first received the letter and saw the densely written words, he felt something was wrong. But if he directly said that he was not very literate, wouldn't he be laughed at by the other party?
Fortunately, after unfolding the paper, he saw the particularly eye-catching circle and signature.
This... this brother Zhang Niujiao is such a wonderful person!
These days, there are very few people who can read, and there is no guarantee that Zhang Niujiao can only recognize three or two words. He did not want to show weakness in front of the other leader, so he came up with this idea.
But this also made it convenient for him, the person who received the letter.
If Zhang Niujiao, who was far away in Leping at this time, knew how the bandit leader in Yunzhong Mountain viewed him, he would probably protest that he was wronged.
No matter how uncultured he was, he would never really draw a bull's horn as his signature.
However, he had no chance to seek justice from a distance at this moment, and could only allow the bandit leader to make the wrong judgment about him.
Holding this special letter, the bandit leader asked Zhang Liao, "What is this?"
Of course, he was not talking about the letter, but the piece of paper.
He was a rough person and almost tore the letter in half when he saw the words on it. However, he found that the paper was very different from any he had seen before. It was not torn apart when he pulled it, which was really unusual.
"This is from Leping..."
Zhang Liao was about to say mulberry paper, but he changed his mind and thought that this paper had not yet spread in Bingzhou. It was possible that Marquis Qiao did not want people to know about this raw material. If any of the bandits in the mountains escaped by chance, they might leak the matter. He thought quickly and changed his words and said, "Leping Marquis paper."
"Leping Marquis paper?" The bandit leader held the paper and looked at it for a long time, thinking that there was Cai Marquis paper in front and Leping Marquis paper in the back, which seemed to make sense.
Zhang Liao was heard saying, "General Niu Jiao is very clever. He was sent by the Marquis of Leping to the place where Leping Marquis paper is made, claiming that it is a way to atone for his sins. It is also a good opportunity for General Niu Jiao to get this page of paper to pass on the message, so that you can know that although Leping is a small county, it has become a considerable fortune just by relying on this Leping Marquis paper."
When the bandit leader heard the first half of the sentence, he thought it was really funny that Zhang Niujiao's subordinates were flattering him by saying that he was "smart". It was probably because the subordinates did not want to tarnish his reputation that they made such a statement.
But when he heard the second half of the sentence, he became restless again.
He was not a completely ignorant person, but had his own ideas on analyzing financial gains. After hearing what Zhang Liao said, he really felt that this thing could indeed be considered a large sum of money.
This Leping Hou paper is less likely to be damaged than Cai Hou paper. It is conceivable that those who have a large collection of books at home would be willing to pay more money to purchase it.
If it is true as Zhang Liao said, that Zhang Niujiao was arranged by the Marquis of Leping to work in a paper-making place, doesn't it mean that he also mastered the manufacturing technology?
Thinking of this, he even looked at the nine unfamiliar scribbles among the ten words on the "letter paper" and felt that they looked pretty good, just a little bit unfamiliar.
His intention did not escape Zhang Liao's eyes, and Zhang Liao took advantage of the situation and said, "If you help General Niu Jiao attack Leping, you will gain more than just the Leping Marquisate paper."
When he said this, Zhang Yang, who received his signal, immediately took off his coat, revealing the mulberry leather jacket underneath, which was exactly what Qiao Yan had asked them to wear before they set out.
Zhang Liao pointed and said, "Here in Leping, there are piles of mulberry and fur clothes. Even the captives like us have one each. Do you think this is also a fortune?"
Upon seeing this thing, the bandit leader stood up immediately. "Yes, of course not!"
Among his previous winter looting were several mulberry leather coats. Now that the weather had warmed up in March, there was indeed not much need for them, but he had personally experienced the difference between wearing them with or without this layer.
He also knew that if he had this thing, he wouldn't have to worry about the next winter.
Some of the items they snatched back were accidentally torn, so they tried to mend them with thread, and it didn't affect their use at all.
This is solid, good stuff, and durable.
Although this item was not as expensive as ordinary clothes, it was only fifty five-zhu coins each, but for them who had no income except looting, it was indeed a considerable expense.
Thinking of the words "piled like mountains" from Zhang Liao's mouth, the bandit leader felt that what he saw was a mountain of gold!
If he could really make this no-cost deal, he could arm all the bandits under his command with mulberry and leather clothes to avoid losing half of their men during the cold winter, and then find somewhere to sell the rest.
When he thought of this, he suddenly realized that he was too excited and not as calm as he was when discussing business. He coughed twice to cover up his gaffe. "Is that all?"
"Of course it's not just that. Last year, Changshan, Shangdang, and Taiyuan counties each sent 50,000 dan of grain to Leping because of its contribution to hosting our Black Mountain Army. But how could the Marquis of Leping really give us all the grain? Or did General Niu Jiao lead us to dig grass and trees in the mountains for a living... In your opinion, can the 150,000 dan of grain be considered a bargaining chip?"
There is still food!
The bandit leader's breathing quickened.
Thirty thousand shi of grain could make Zhang Niu Jiao take risks, let alone one hundred and fifty thousand shi of grain!
This is only what the governors of the three counties sent. If you add the inventory of one county, wouldn’t the number be even greater?
He didn't know that Zhang Niujiao had eaten well, slept well, and even gained some weight in Leping. He only saw that Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang in front of him did not look like they were eating well. It was possible that Zhang Niujiao had selected the most respectable-looking ones among his subordinates and sent them out in an attempt to save face.
After thinking about the meaning of Zhang Liao's words again, he estimated that this might be the fundamental reason why Zhang Niujiao wanted to contact external aid and use the method of internal and external cooperation to break through Leping and seize food.
If you are not full, you will rebel. This is a truth that has been passed down since ancient times.
What's more, as a bandit leader who had done whatever he wanted, there was no way he would want to live as a prisoner.
These three chips pressed down one by one, and he made a decision, "Okay, I will go to Leping with you, but before we go, you have to tell me how the profits will be divided."
"I wonder how many people you have here, General?" Zhang Liao asked.
The address from "Your Excellency" to "General" was clearly a way of showing intimacy, and the flattery in the address also made the bandit leader happy. He replied, "Those women, children and infants froze to death in the winter, and there are still more than 500 left."
Zhang Liao was surprised by the indifference in his words, but he didn't show it on his face. He just replied: "We still have about 3,000 young and strong men in the Black Mountain Army, but only 2,000 of them are hungry and cold and can fight. According to what General Niu Jiao said, if you and your troops don't come, we have no chance to resist. We can double the number of people, so we will divide it 30% to 70%."
The bandit leader was slightly startled.
It must be said that this is exactly the share that hits his bottom line.
If he really thought he had the ability of the Black Mountain bandits, he wouldn't have to rob only in such a small area every time. But if the ratio was really five hundred to nine thousand, he really felt that there was no need for him to take such a risk.
Since he had no intention of taking away Zhang Niujiao's troops in addition to Leping's wealth, it would be better for everyone to make money together. Now this way of dividing the profits was within his acceptable range.
This deal is doable!
"30-70 is 30-70. I will go with you to Leping."
He picked up his sword and was about to gather people, but was interrupted by Zhang Liao's words "Wait a minute".
He immediately looked at the young man with displeasure, "Are you guys here to play a trick on me?"
Zhang Liao denied it, "General, please don't blame me. That's not what I meant. It's just that when we were passing through Jinyang, we heard that the governor of Bingzhou would be arriving in the next two days. I'm afraid the defenses around here will be strengthened a lot in the next few days. It would be safer if we set out in two days."
The bandit leader smiled awkwardly, and instead of raising his knife to chop someone, he patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder with his other hand, "You're right. If you want to attack Leping, you should hit him right away. It's also right to avoid the limelight of the Bingzhou governor."
To save his face, he said, "Come to think of it, I haven't asked you two what your names are. You two have taken the risk to come here, you are quite capable. If one day you can't work for General Zhang anymore, why don't you come to me? I will definitely treat you well."
"Thank you for your kindness, General, but it's not necessary." Before Zhang Liao could speak, Zhang Yang replied, "We were both saved by General Niu Jiao in our early years. We were also blessed by the general's grace to give us both the surname Zhang. So my name is Zhang Yang and his is Zhang Liao."
"..." Zhang Liao's expression was blank for a moment.
He only knew that Zhang Yang had said before that they were one family three hundred years ago, but he didn't expect that he could continue to explain that the "Zhang" in their two names meant the "Zhang" in Zhang Niu Jiao.
These words were not among the speeches that Qiao Yan had prepared for them in advance; they were clearly Zhang Yang's own impromptu remarks.
But Zhang Liao reacted very quickly and did not let the bandits notice that he was in a trance at the moment. He just followed the people arranged by the bandit leader and stayed in the bandit camp.
Like this group of bandits who traveled back and forth in Yunzhong Mountain, they naturally had no fixed residence, just like the previous black bandits. They relied entirely on tent camps built with coarse cloth as a place to rest.
Perhaps it was because the people in Taiyuan County had previously felt that the cost of suppressing bandits was too high, and it was difficult to capture these slippery bandits. In addition, it was not easy to send out guards in winter, so they had not come to the mountains to cause trouble for them for several months, so their camp had not been moved for the time being.
Zhang Liao looked around and found that all the trees around the camp in the mountains had been cut down.
Seeing him looking at the trees, the bandit leader said, "It's too cold this winter, so all the trees nearby have been used to make fire, and that's how it is now."
Zhang Yang took the opportunity to say, "In that case, why don't we take over Leping County directly after we take it down? There are mountains to protect us, and we have houses to live in. Isn't it more comfortable than living in the mountains?"
Zhang Liao "quickly" glared at him, and Zhang Yang immediately stopped talking, as if he realized that it was indeed not a good idea for him to try to undermine the bandit leader at this time.
But for the bandit leader who received the news later, this was undoubtedly another piece of information that proved the other party's position and identity.
Moreover, he had to admit that if he could really occupy Leping as the other party said and live in the house, who would be willing to live in the mountains?
If any government troops come to attack us, it will not be too late to enter the Taihang Mountains.
The bandit leader, who was quite tempted, listened to his men's report again. The two men's reactions to his names were very normal, and it was obvious that these were indeed their real names.
Then the statement that the character "Zhang" was taken from Zhang Niujiao also seems to have some validity.
Thinking of this, he completely let down his guard against Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang.
Little did he know that these two people not only lied in what they said, but even their skin color was fake.
They both smeared a thin layer of ginger juice on their faces. After the smell had almost dissipated, only a yellowish color remained, and since both of them were at the age of growing up, they looked like half-refugees.
The two men temporarily got a separate tent at the moment, but they did not dare to speak loudly, for fear that people outside would hear something wrong. But when they looked at each other, they couldn't help but let out two muffled laughs.
But they are still young people after all, and after laughing enough, they still feel a little scared.
If anything goes wrong in today's actions, they will most likely never be able to leave Yunzhong Mountain again.
Especially——
Zhang Liao felt touched when he thought that Zhang Yang didn't have to take the risk of going up the mountain. With his age and martial arts skills, he could have served in the prefectural or provincial governor's office through formal channels.
Actually, they had only known each other for a short time, but judging by what Zhang Yang had done, they could be called brothers who were loyal to each other.
This is what Zhang Liao thought and said.
He then whispered, "If this is successful, you and I can enter the governor's mansion to show our skills, and from now on we can help each other, just like brothers."
However, he soon heard Zhang Yang reply: "Actually... I think Leping is not bad either. Maybe I won't go to serve the governor."
Seeing Zhang Liao was a little surprised, Zhang Yang explained: "You said that the tools and the way we talked when we came up the mountain this time were all planned by Le Ping Hou. With her ability to make such a plan, wouldn't she be more useful than the Bingzhou governor whose identity is still unknown?"
Zhang Liao was not unaware of this, but... "Le Ping Hou has no real power. Since you and I are going to be the ones fighting against the Xiongnu, simply being loyal to her will not be enough."
"That's true, but there's nothing that people can't gamble on." Zhang Yang replied, "When I first came out of Yunzhong County, I thought that as long as I was brave, it would be enough. But there are so many rules for even eliminating bandits, and there are so many rules for standing up in front of the governor. I'm not a smart person, and I don't think I can understand these things."
"After all, Marquis Qiao has said before that helping you get ahead in front of the governor is to pave the way for her to make her own suggestions. I think that in the future, if I work for her and someone uses his brains, I can sell my military power, which may not be a bad way out."
"You say, isn't that the truth?"
Zhang Liao actually felt suspiciously that his words implied that he was not smart, but was actually very wise.
But this choice...
"Okay, there's no point in talking so much now. First of all, it's still unknown whether Lord Qiao wants me as his thug, and secondly, we have to deal with these bandits first before we can discuss the issue of treatment."
As Zhang Yang spoke, he took out a flint from his sleeve.
Neither he nor Zhang Liao had much psychological burden when it came to taking action against these bandits.
What these borderland men hate most is that brave and strong people do not use their strength to fight foreign enemies, but instead plunder the weaker ones.
The current situation of the camp revealed by the bandit leader also made them less worried.
Before they went up the mountain, Qiao Yan specifically reminded them that if they really chose to attack with fire, they must choose a good location to prevent the wildfire from being extinguished and harming innocent people.
Now, the surrounding forests have been cut down by this group of bandits, leaving a blank area.
In that case, this fire can really be set!
The bandit leader was still dreaming of leading his men to plunder Leping when he was suddenly awakened by the screams of a fire.
He just opened his eyes and reached out to touch the sword at hand, but suddenly he smelled not only the smell of something burning, but also the smell of blood.
He felt something was wrong.
But before he could walk out of the tent, a figure flashed in.
The light from the fire outside dyed the curtains red and also dimly revealed the figure of the man.
Who else could this be but Zhang Liao who came in broad daylight?
But before he could even shout out his name, Zhang Liao had already chopped him down with his sword, hitting him right in the neck.
This bandit leader was quite powerful, but one must know that although Zhang Liao's family changed their surname and went into hiding, they were a powerful family in the past, and to this day their family still had some assets, which were enough for him to receive instruction in martial arts that was far beyond what he could get from ordinary people.
He succeeded in his first strike, and seeing that the bandit leader had lost his breath after falling to the ground, he decisively chopped off his head with a knife.
The fact that the leader died first did not make the young man feel complacent. He grabbed the head by the hair, walked out of the camp, and shouted loudly: "The leader of the bandits is dead, get rid of them quickly!"
Zhang Yang had already started fires in many places on all sides, and the fire spread very quickly in the camp where more than 500 people gathered. Now that he heard the news that Zhang Liao had succeeded, he took out a gong from his mulberry leather coat and smashed it twice.
This was indeed a more penetrating voice than Zhang Liao's words that the bandit leader had been executed.
The bandits, who were already frightened by the fire, first heard the news of their leader's death, and then a head fell from the sky, allowing them to identify the leader's identity and immediately lose their composure.
Such noise happened to appear at this moment, making it difficult for them not to suspect that the officers and soldiers were coming up the mountain.
But it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe in the firelight and darkness, and there were people on fire struggling around, disrupting their judgment, so they could only see the shadows of people moving around and could not tell the specific situation.
Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang, one lost the head of the bandit leader, and the other lost the gong in his hand. Now their hands were free, so they drew their swords and chopped at people.
Those who had a chance to gather together and escape the fire, because of the screams coming from nowhere, they couldn't help but be wary of each other and attack each other.
The chaos in the dark can easily induce fear in people's hearts.
One of them was frightened and subconsciously slashed at the person closest to him, but the person in the direction of his attack was a skilled martial artist and immediately raised his sword to fight back.
Because of their cruel style developed from their looting nature, although he was the last to strike, he was able to knock the first soldier to the ground very easily.
But in the turbulent situation at that time, his fatal blow took not only the life of his opponent, but also his own.
No one knew who set the fire, let alone who killed the leader.
Although they knew that the two people who came up the mountain during the day should be the first to be suspected, the people closest to them saw this person hacking his brothers to death.
In the face of such chaos, there is really no need to distinguish whether he is trying to protect himself or is the instigator of this incident.
In front of those who wanted to live, he was nothing more than a butcher with a knife.
He was immediately knocked to the ground by a crowd of people.
This is just one place.
There were some who noticed what Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang were doing, but their fighting power was no match for those bandits who attacked in an unsystematic manner.
It would be fine if these people could line up quickly, but now some of them want to flee for their lives, some are in internal strife, and the rest -
All one could see was that the young man and the young man had eyes as cold as stars, blades as sharp as lightning, and their faces, which were reflected in a red cloud, were filled with a murderous aura that was determined to win.
The young man took advantage of the chaos to pick up the head of the bandit leader, wrapped it in a piece of cloth and hung it behind him, then laughed and scolded Zhang Liao: "What if you threw away your letter of surrender? What if others don't believe that you killed the person or eliminated the bandit?"
Zhang Liao had no time to answer him.
With only two of them facing this group of bandits, since they had planned carefully, the situation was not as difficult as he had originally estimated.
Some of the bandits who escaped from the fire had already fallen off the cliff and died because the road was difficult to travel at night, which reduced the number of targets they needed to kill.
But this does not mean that what they are doing at the moment is just chopping melons and vegetables.
Zhang Liao had never faced such a high-intensity battlefield before, and it was inevitable that he realized at this time that relying solely on brute force to chop down the opponent was obviously not a long-term solution.
He was still young, and his hand holding the knife was shaking a little.
Fortunately, his opponents did not notice that he was not strong enough to hold on. Before he felt he could hardly lift his knife, the bandits only saw blood splattering on the boy's face, like a wolf cub that would never let go after biting its opponent's throat.
And now they are the prey.
As their own casualties grew, and they could clearly hear commotion elsewhere in the camp, only one word remained in their minds.
escape!
Seeing these bandits lose the courage to fight and flee, Zhang Liao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If these people wanted to continue fighting with him, although he was thinking of the words in the Records of Xiang Yu, "Then Ji drew his sword and cut off the guard's head, Xiang Liang held on to the head, and Ji killed dozens of people." But he did not have the power of the King of Chu after all, and if he continued fighting, his weaknesses would be exposed.
Fortunately, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, and he stood to the end.
When these panicked bandits chose to flee, he and Zhang Yang immediately chased after them and quickly evacuated the fire scene, and then -
They were guarding the road down the mountain from where they had camped. Here they will complete the last wave of harvest.
Even if there are people who are lucky enough to escape, I'm afraid there won't be many.
The two looked at each other, and suddenly felt a sense of heroic spirit that one man could hold the pass against ten thousand.
Two days later, the city of Jinyang was in an uproar.
A young man, with blood still on his body, appeared in front of the gate of the Bingzhou governor who had just arrived in Jinyang City, carrying a package containing dozens of human heads.
He who kills a man shall pay with his life, but he who eliminates a thief shall be considered a hero.
The county official went out to check and found that these were the bandits from Yunzhong Mountain.
Someone else arrived in Jinyang City just one step later than Zhang Liao and reported a shocking news.
A fire broke out on Yunzhong Mountain in the middle of the night last night. Due to the steepness of the mountain, no one went up the mountain to investigate until daytime. They found that the fire was right where the bandits’ camp was. Dozens of people were burned to death in the camp, and hundreds of bandits killed each other. Many also fell off the cliff and died. Some were even killed by knives on the way down the mountain.
Among those who survived, many had run into the county town at the foot of the mountain in search of shelter and were caught immediately.
This bandit who was causing trouble to the local area was actually eliminated!
At this moment, the young man who had eliminated the thieves stood in front of the governor's mansion, or the prefectural government. His slightly tired eyes and eyebrows were filled with a surprising sharpness. He said in a deep voice: "The prefectural government said earlier that I was young, but young people can also eliminate thieves. I wonder what they say now?"
What's the saying?
Naturally, this question should be answered by the governor Zhang Yi who is currently in the provincial capital.
When Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang were heading towards Yunzhong Mountain, Zhang Yi had already arrived in Jinyang.
Qiao Yan was on the top of the pavilion at that time and could clearly see the other party riding his horse into the city.
Judging from the appearance alone, Qiao Yan could conclude that this was a real civil servant, and a slightly mild-mannered one at that.
But it would certainly be inappropriate to let down your guard just because the other party is a civil servant.
There is the example of Liu Biao who rode alone into Jingzhou and established his career as the governor of Jingzhou. Who knows whether Zhang Yi can also properly balance the various parties in Bingzhou.
We can't just treat him as a useless person just because he died at the hands of the Southern Xiongnu.
But Qiao Yan hoped that he was a loser.
The small land of Leping could not accommodate the talented people she favored. For example, Zhang Liao, a general who still needed to be honed through border wars, would be a waste of talent if he was trained in the mountainous environment of Leping. So she had to give up the plan to win him over.
Doesn't she want to have the genius in her hands?
Does she just want to own the county of Leping?
But only when Zhang Yi is at a disadvantage to her can she naturally take his place.
All of these require a suitable opportunity.
Qiao Yan was pondering in her heart, and then she heard Xu Fu leading Zhang Yang to report that Zhang Liao had arrived at the gate of the provincial government. However, when she placed the piece on the chessboard in front of her, she did not relax for a moment.
The chess piece landed with a clear knock without any hesitation.
Qiao Yan raised his eyes and looked towards Xi Zhicai, and asked, "From your perspective, how will Zhang Yi deal with it?"
Zhang Liao - a young man who had just killed a group of bandits, a troublemaker, and also a capable reserve general.
Facing such a character, every word Zhang Yi says will serve as the basis for Qiao Yan to judge him.
