Chapter 715

They had only heard these two names for the first time.

They were full of curiosity about them.

They wanted to understand them.

Among them, some old generals might have heard of Donghu, it was not certain.

"Put these two forces aside for now."

"After all, we don't understand them."

"Ask His Majesty or His Highness when the time comes; perhaps they will know."

Meng Tian waved his hand, stopping the crowd's discussion.

"Let's talk about the Modu brothers."

"There is indeed such a person as Modu; he is the Crown Prince of the Xiongnu; this general can confirm that such a person exists."

"But I didn't expect him to be sent to the Dayuezhi to be a hostage."

"The struggle between these two brothers is quite intense."

"They even sent people to inform directly."

"Then do you think Seeing Maoshi will bring fifty thousand cavalry to rescue those Xiongnu?"

Meng Tian knew this person Modu.

Xiongnu Crown Prince.

But he was not favored, so his fame was not very prominent.

His fame was not as great as this Seeing Maoshi's.

After all, Seeing Maoshi had natural divine strength and was peerlessly brave.

He was a warrior worshipped by the Xiongnu, so his fame was not small.

Meng Tian originally planned to escort the Xiongnu captives to Lishan today.

Now that such a thing had happened, he needed to consider whether to continue the escort or ambush Seeing Maoshi first.

The imperial family was heartless, and the struggle for power was even more unbearable.

Brothers killing each other was also a common occurrence.

The Xiongnu, who had no etiquette, were estimated to be even more without a bottom line.

"Originally, the plan was to escort the Xiongnu captives to Lishan today, but now... you all say what to do."

A group of military generals also discussed one after another upon hearing this.

"Grand General, what if this news is fake, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

"Having so many Xiongnu captives here is not a good thing either; it's better to send them away quickly."

"That's not how to say it; what if this news is true?"

"What if the Xiongnu sneak attack when our army is escorting?"

"Isn't it said that only fifty thousand cavalry are coming to attack? What is there to be afraid of with this many people?"

"That Xiongnu said fifty thousand; what if this news is fake and the number is far more?"

"What if it's one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand? What to do then?"

The military generals said everything.

Some were afraid that the Xiongnu army would attack after the army escorted the captives.

At that time, perhaps there would not be enough manpower to resist.

If a small number of people came, it would be fine; they could fully resist.

But if too many people came, how should they resist then?

"What do you think?"

Meng Tian looked at Han Xin.

He naturally had his own plans.

But listening to subordinates' suggestions was his advantage.

Therefore, Meng Tian would pool wisdom whenever he made a decision.

Is the Grand General testing him?

Han Xin thought about it; he also had his own thoughts.

It would not hurt to say it out; they could pool wisdom.

Perhaps there would be a better way, it was not certain.

"Grand General, the matter of Donghu has been confirmed."

"The existence of this person Modu has also been confirmed."

"Perhaps the news the Xiongnu said is all true."

"The two brothers are calculating against each other."

"This is also our opportunity; why not strand the escort of captives."

"Wait until we set a trap to capture Seeing Maoshi again, then send them to Lishan together, or use them to exchange for warhorses."

"This is also to prevent the number of Xiongnu cavalry from being more than fifty thousand; stranding is inevitable."

Han Xin wanted to imitate Ying Ying Zi Ye, capturing Seeing Maoshi, and then exchanging for fifty thousand warhorses.

If it spread out, this would also be a good story.

And if they just escorted the captives away in their hearts.

Then when they captured Seeing Maoshi, they would have to send them again; this was also a troublesome matter; it was better to send them together.

And the most important thing was, in order to strictly prevent the Xiongnu from not telling the whole truth.

What if more than fifty thousand Xiongnu cavalry came, but more?

It was very necessary for them to strand going to Lishan.

As long as there was enough manpower, even if one hundred thousand Xiongnu cavalry came, there was no need to be afraid.

The military generals were excited as soon as they heard they could exchange for warhorses again.

After all, many of their subordinates still did not have mounts.

If they could get more horses back, it would be a good thing.

Hearing this, Meng Tian nodded.

His thoughts were about the same.

The Xiongnu even had to send the Crown Prince to be a hostage for others.

That meant the Dayuezhi was stronger than the Xiongnu.

Otherwise, even an unfavored Crown Prince would not be sent to be a hostage.

Being a hostage was not a good thing; it was quite shameful to spread it out.

The Dayuezhi was watching covetously on the side, and there were also the Donghu people.

The Xiongnu also needed to guard against the Donghu people and the Dayuezhi people.

Therefore, it was estimated that they could not dispatch too many cavalry to come here to rescue.

It was better to strand sending captives back to Lishan; they could delay for a few days to see.

If Seeing Maoshi really only brought fifty thousand cavalry, then just wipe them all out.

As for too many cavalry coming, Meng Tian would not think much at all.

"Then let's strand the matter of captives for a few more days."

"Discuss how to design to capture Seeing Maoshi and them."

"Even if they don't come, it's just staying for a few more days."

"As long as they dare to come, don't let them run away."

"Seeing Maoshi was captured once last time; this time, it is estimated that he will become very vigilant."

Meng Tian finally made the decision to strand for a few days before escorting the captives to Lishan.

The military generals launched another intense discussion.

Ambush, binding, using bait, digging traps, using drugs, using every possible means.

Finally, Meng Tian chose the strategy of using bait.

This strategy was also recognized by everyone.

With so many Xiongnu captives, it would be a pity not to use them as bait.

As for how to use them as bait, this was a hard job. ===== CHAPTER 717 =====
