Chapter 917

"One hundred thousand horses is too many; if we give them to the Qin."

"Although we can exchange for my father's return, what if this is a trap?"

"What if after giving the horses to the Qin, they still don't want to let us go? Have you thought about the consequences?"

"By then our soldiers will have to walk home, and when the Qin attack, we won't even be able to run away."

"The number of people who die will be even greater, and it could even be the total annihilation of the army!"

"Even if it's not total annihilation, the consequences for soldiers without mounts will be miserable."

"They will either be captured or killed; there is absolutely no third path to take!"

"You only have the Chanyu in your heart, do you not have the soldiers?"

"Do you not understand the weight of one person's life versus the lives of one hundred thousand?"

"Even if my father is the King of the Great Xiongnu, we should not take the lives of one hundred thousand soldiers to exchange for his one life."

"Let's think of another way."

Modu also began to condemn loudly.

He naturally had his own selfish motives.

At the same time, he didn't want to see the Great Xiongnu decline.

He didn't want to take over a mess later.

The generals' view of Modu changed.

So Prince Modu cared so much about the lives of their subordinates.

They liked this decision very much and supported it as well.

They couldn't take one hundred thousand horses and the lives of soldiers to exchange for one person's chance of survival.

Even if that one person was Touman Chanyu, it wouldn't do.

The cost was too great, so great they couldn't bear it.

Now that Prince Modu had come forward to stop it, they were certainly happy to see it.

This speech by Modu won over even more hearts.

But these words left Ha Da speechless for a long time.

He couldn't refute it, because if they did this, the situation might really develop in the direction Modu said.

Ha Da felt somewhat decadent.

He sat foolishly on the ground, silent for a long time.

Until a long time had passed.

Ha Da finally raised his head and looked at Modu.

"Since the Prince does not approve of this plan."

"Is it feasible to go back to the tribe and drive one hundred thousand horses to redeem the hostages?"

Ha Da knew there were such horses in the tribe.

Therefore, he could only retreat to advance.

The generals were immediately unhappy.

Talking and talking, it still required one hundred thousand horses.

Couldn't they just do as Prince Modu said?

Couldn't they find another way?

Why keep staring at those horses?

Those horses in the tribe were the foundation for their future foothold on the Great Grassland.

If they were handed over, what would happen in the future?

But they couldn't say much.

This matter could only be left to Prince Modu to decide.

"Forget it, most of the horses in the tribe are foals and old horses."

"Using them to exchange for my father, the Qin cavalry might agree."

"The Qin are not fools; it's impossible to fool them like this."

"Besides, there's simply no time."

"In the time it takes to go back and forth, the Qin army might not even be there anymore."

"This plan won't work; let's find another way!"

Modu still refused, impossible to agree to such a thing.

The generals didn't object, which proved they wanted to do the same.

He was happy with this, after all, he still had to take over the tribe later.

How could he be willing to take so many horses to redeem Touman?

He couldn't wait to pull Touman off the Chanyu position and sit on it himself.

Now the opportunity had come.

Thinking of this, a cold smile flashed across Modu's face.

"You... you..."

Ha Da was so angry he couldn't speak.

This wouldn't work, that wouldn't work.

It was clearly that he was reluctant to take so many horses to redeem Touman, yet he spoke so sanctimoniously.

But not one of those generals objected; they all agreed with Modu's decision.

This made his heart turn cold by half.

He didn't know what to do.

"We will strictly follow the Prince's instructions!"

"We will strictly follow the Prince's instructions!"

The generals bowed to Modu one after another.

They liked this decision very much.

Therefore, there was a faint smile on everyone's face.

As for Touman Chanyu, the cost of redeeming him was too high.

Even if they wanted to save him, they had no power to support him; there was really no way.

They could only let Modu handle it; he could handle it however he wanted.

As long as they didn't lose out, they wouldn't object.

"You... you..."

"You make me so angry!"

Ha Da pointed at everyone.

His whole body trembled non-stop.

He was angered to the point of breaking.

Looking at their stance, this group of people wanted to abandon the Chanyu.

After all, the cost of redeeming him was too high for them to accept.

Tragic!

Lamentable!

Ha Da felt somewhat disheartened.

Even if he wanted to be forceful, it wouldn't work.

After all, his men had been captured by the Qin.

Now this group of people wouldn't listen to his command.

But Touman Chanyu's kindness to him was too great, and he had to repay it.

But now, what other way was there to save the person?

Ha Da sighed and groaned.

His entire brow was furrowed into a 'chuan' shape.
