Chapter 931

Therefore, Meng Tian did not give the order, but instead sought the opinion of His Highness.

"The two of them are weak, unless they have confidants in the army."

"Otherwise, they cannot influence anything."

"After all, there are only two of them."

"If we were to release all those captives..."

Ying Ying Zi Ye shook his head indifferently.

Prince Modu was not a good thing; in history, he was also famously known for killing his father to establish himself.

He released Chanyu Touman to go back because he wanted to counter Prince Modu, not wanting him to have no one to restrain him.

If Chanyu Touman still had a backup plan, he should be able to restrain Prince Modu.

If one had to blame someone, blame Han Xin for accidentally capturing Chanyu Touman.

Only then did Prince Modu have an opportunity.

If they released all those tens of thousands of captives, Chanyu Touman's chances of winning would be even greater.

But if they released them all, it would be difficult to explain to the generals.

After all, releasing Chanyu Touman and the other was easy to justify, but releasing everyone was truly unjustifiable.

It would be better not to release them; let's see what Chanyu Touman's fate is.

If he still had a backup plan, restraining Prince Modu would not be a big problem.

If he didn't even have this bit of a backup plan, then he had failed miserably as a Xiongnu King.

Meng Tian also believed that the two of them would not have much of an effect.

If they wanted to disrupt the Xiongnu, it depended on whether Chanyu Touman had a backup plan.

Otherwise, it would be truly difficult.

Chanyu Touman was only returning with two people; who knew if anyone in the army still obeyed Chanyu Touman?

If he had confidants, it would be easier to talk about.

If his confidants had been purged by others, then Chanyu Touman would truly become trash.

"If the two of them cannot influence anything..."

"Then let's attack!"

"Let them meet on the road of pursuit."

"In this way, perhaps it might even create some opportunities for Chanyu Touman."

Meng Tian deliberated for a moment and spoke slowly.

At this time, Han Xin also walked out.

"Your Highness, this general also has a strategy."

"It might also be of some use."

Ying Ying Zi Ye, Meng Tian, and the others all looked at Han Xin.

This kid had a flexible mind.

Who knew what kind of suggestion he could offer?

"Let's hear it."

"If it's good, we can adopt it."

Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled; gathering wisdom from the masses, after all.

"Your Highness, how about this?"

"Let the army follow behind Chanyu Touman, just needing to follow from afar."

"In this way, we can shorten the distance between us and the Xiongnu reinforcements."

"When the time comes, if they want to run, we can also quickly pursue them."

"Otherwise, if they are too far away, we won't be able to catch up, and that will be a troublesome matter."

"With Chanyu Touman and the others in front, they can also create some opportunities for us."

"Perhaps the Xiongnu reinforcements will stop to wait for Chanyu Touman."

"If they don't wait, then there's nothing we can do."

Han Xin's idea was also very simple: he wanted to shorten the distance with the Xiongnu reinforcements.

Grand General Meng Tian's method was also not bad.

It was just that if they did that, the Xiongnu reinforcements might turn around and run as soon as they saw them.

With Chanyu Touman in front, the Xiongnu reinforcements probably wouldn't run when they saw Chanyu Touman.

But this was still uncertain for now.

Who knew what the situation was inside the Xiongnu reinforcements?

Everything was unknown.

Hearing this, the generals' eyes lit up; this method was quite good.

Only by shortening the distance between the two sides would there be an opportunity to catch up to them.

Otherwise, on this vast and boundless grassland.

It was truly difficult to catch up to people riding horses.

If it were so easy to catch up.

When Han Xin and the others were being pursued before, they would have been caught up to countless times already.

Ying Ying Zi Ye nodded; this method was also not bad.

"Then let's do as you said."

"Under the command of Grand General Meng Tian."

"You all just assist him."

"If there's nothing else, prepare to depart!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at everyone with satisfaction.

As long as they took down these Xiongnu reinforcements and then swept through the Xiongnu tribe's main camp.

If there were no accidents, they could return to Great Qin very soon.

"Understood!"

Meng Tian and the others bowed and saluted.

Afterwards, they left this place with quick steps.

Very soon.

The border defense army mobilized rapidly.

They were originally in a state of readiness at all times.

As long as they mobilized, they could assemble quickly.

This was the combat capability of the border defense army.

Rapid reaction was just one of their most basic skills.

The great army moved out quickly.

And began to advance in one direction.

Since this was a pursuit battle, it was not suitable for infantry.

Therefore, fifty thousand infantry were left here to guard the grain and fodder.

Originally, the border defense army had about one hundred thousand infantry.

But last time they captured that batch of warhorses from Hada, the quantity was about fifty thousand or more.

This time it was good; they were all used as mounts for the infantry.

The border defense army now only had fifty thousand infantry left.

In not long, he believed all the border defense army would be able to become cavalry.

This also made the remaining infantry extremely excited.

If there were no accidents, after this time, they would also be able to become cavalry.

This was a great honor.

On the grassland, only cavalry could move unimpeded.

The mobility of the infantry was still too poor.

The two hundred and fifty thousand border defense army and the twenty thousand commandant army began to move.
