Chapter 956
Not many people went, only two thousand Commandant soldiers.
Fewer people were convenient for getting things done; if discovered, they could leave quickly.
Their task was to follow from a distance.
Leave clues along the way or send people back to deliver news from time to time.
The great army could receive news in the rear, as long as their location was confirmed.
Then the entire army could strike and wipe out the Xiongnu in one go!
"It's cooked, it's cooked, let's eat some meat first."
Deputy General Qian and others smelled the fragrance, and their appetites opened up.
They tore off horse meat one after another and started eating.
With a wolfish meal, the generals were full.
"Your Highness, are we really not moving forward here?"
"Suddenly quiet, I feel a bit decadent."
"It's still more energetic to run."
"Really?"
"Who was like a dead dog and didn't want to move before?"
"Now that you've had a full meal, you've forgotten the bitterness before?"
The generals started a mode of teasing each other.
Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at this group of people and smiled silently.
"Everything will be decided after Han Xin sends back news."
"As long as we don't lose them and aren't discovered by the Xiongnu, we can wait for some time."
"Just treat it as rest; what's there to be decadent about?"
Ying Ying Zi Ye finished the last bite of horse meat and wiped his hands.
Losing them was impossible; how could the Xiongnu understand the power of the telescopes?
It was also impossible for the Xiongnu to discover that they were being tracked.
If Han Xin had the telescopes in hand and could still be discovered by the Xiongnu,
then he would be too useless.
There was no need to worry about these things at all.
"Rest is rest, but the soldiers' daily training cannot be neglected."
"I don't know how many days we have to stay here."
Meng Tian spoke; he couldn't let this group of generals be lazy.
"Don't worry, Grand General."
"We will control this aspect of things."
"This training has been integrated into life and will not be easily neglected."
"Unless it's wartime, we won't train."
The generals promised one after another that they would never neglect training.
After all, fighting on the battlefield often meant life or death.
Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime; this sentence was told to them by His Highness.
Even if they ate one less meal, they wouldn't dare to neglect training.
At noon.
Finally, a soldier returned from afar.
Seeing it was someone sent by Han Xin to deliver news.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Greetings, Grand General Meng Tian."
The soldier got off his horse and immediately ran to Ying Ying Zi Ye and the others to salute.
"No need for formalities."
"Is there any news?"
Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the soldier.
Seeing his mental state was fine, he probably had rested too.
Otherwise, he would have had two dark circles under his eyes.
"Reporting to Your Highness, there is news."
"Deputy General Han asked me to come back and report."
"However, Deputy General Han said this is not good news."
The soldier answered truthfully.
"What's wrong? Tell us."
Ying Ying Zi Ye and the others looked at each other.
They became curious.
Shouldn't it be good news?
"The Xiongnu cavalry saw that no one was chasing them from behind, so they didn't return to the base camp."
"Instead, they started wandering around."
"I don't know what they want to do; they just won't return."
"Deputy General Han asked the subordinate to come back and report to Your Highness, what should we do?"
The soldier's expression was a bit strange.
Those Xiongnu were too abnormal.
Isn't no one chasing the best time to return?
Could it be that they knew someone was tracking them?
The soldier couldn't understand, so he simply didn't think about it.
He was just a messenger.
"Could it be that Han Xin and the others were discovered?"
"That's impossible, right?"
"If they could be discovered even with telescopes, that's not very likely, right?"
The generals didn't know where the problem lay.
It was possible they were exposed.
Otherwise, how to explain this?
"This Modu is not stupid."
"This is a detour."
"Ordinary people, seeing that the pursuers are not chasing, would definitely want to return to the base camp."
"But Modu didn't return, which shows he is a vigilant person."
"Afraid that there are pursuers behind, his guard is not heavy."
Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled indifferently.
After Modu's guard is let down, he will probably return.
Meng Tian and the others nodded upon hearing this.
His Highness's analysis was logical; it should be like this. ===== CHAPTER 958 =====
