Chapter 188
Lu Wan, Zhou Zhou Yafu, they were all pondering.
At this moment, they had no particularly good ideas!
Even Wang Wang Jian couldn't help but get a headache!
This was indeed a dead end.
If Li Li Yuanba was sent over, it was very likely to put Li Li Yuanba in danger.
If Li Li Yuanba died because of this, then Ying Su's claim of exterminating the Xiongnu would truly become a joke.
Not only would the new emperor Ying Su lose face, but even he, Wang Wang Jian, would have no face left.
Han Xin, such an outstanding general, plus Li Li Yuanba, who could kill hundreds of thousands of troops alone, couldn't exterminate the Xiongnu; how could you, Wang Wang Jian, have the face to say you are a famous general?
Wang Wang Jian's brows furrowed, pondering continuously.
And as the tent remained silent for half a day, Fan Kuai became irritable.
He waved his hand: "Haha! If you ask me, you are all too cautious!"
"It's not even certain if there's an ambush, and you're already scared!"
"And even if there is an ambush, so what?"
"Let me take two thousand men and go over with Li Li Yuanba; as long as we don't charge into the swamp, what can they do to us?"
He said, and directly began to call Li Li Yuanba!
Han Xin directly slapped the table and roared: "Without my order, no one is allowed to act recklessly!"
Wang Wang Jian also grabbed Fan Kuai: "The other side wants to kill both my one hundred thousand troops and Li Li Yuanba; a slight carelessness will lead to falling into a trap!"
"Absolutely do not act recklessly!"
Fan Kuai said: "But it won't do if the supply line is always cut off. I have cattle and sheep there, and meat is never lacking, but what about the soldiers?"
"Zhou Zhou Yafu, how many more days can our grain last for the soldiers?"
Zhou Zhou Yafu said: "The emperor's grain supply to us has always been sufficient; more than half of the grain looted from the nobles has been transported to us!"
"And the grain collected by Zhang Liang and Huang Chao from the nobles is also being supplied to us!"
"Besides the camp, there are some grain storage points in the rear. The total grain currently adds up to about a month or so!"
"But... it won't do if the supply line is always cut off!"
"Unless, within this month, we can exterminate the Xiongnu!"
Zhou Zhou Yafu explained.
Han Xin pondered for a moment:
"Fan Kuai, you take one hundred men to scout the situation first, go find those five thousand Xiongnu troops, and then check the surrounding twenty miles. If you find anyone other than these five thousand people, don't linger, come back immediately!"
"I suspect that the various schools of thought from the Central Plains, as well as those martial arts people, have all come over. They should have set traps in the surroundings, just waiting for Li Li Yuanba to charge in!"
Han Xin said, and Wang Wang Jian listened, frowning, and finally slapped the table: "When I conquered the six states, I should have just wiped out this so-called 'various schools of thought'!"
"Helping the Xiongnu deal with us, these people have really grown some guts!"
Wang Wang Jian was indignant.
Han Xin said: "Go scout first. This continuous fighting has exhausted the army, especially Li Li Yuanba; you should also take a good rest. Once Fan Kuai returns, we will discuss it from a long-term perspective!"
"Then, Zhou Bo, Xia Xia Houying, you two each take ten men, scout along the Tuermu River, and report all the situations you encounter!"
"Go!"
Han Xin issued the order!
At this moment, everyone left and went to act on their own!
However, Wang Wang Jian didn't leave, but stared at Han Xin!
"Old General, why don't you leave?"
Wang Wang Jian stared at him:
"I feel like you're up to something bad!"
Han Xin laughed: "Old General, why do you say that?"
Wang Wang Jian said: "You use troops like a ghost. On this journey to attack the Xiongnu, when have you not planned before moving? When have you not been confident?"
"Just as you said, our grain transport personnel have been scarce for a day or two; you shouldn't have no precautions at all!"
"This is not your combat style. Today's situation is wrong! Very wrong!"
"I guess you're probably up to something bad in your heart, right!"
Wang Wang Jian said, looking at Han Xin!
Han Xin sighed:
"Those who know me, none are like the Old General!"
He said, pulling Wang Wang Jian to the map, pointing to the Tuermu River area:
"Old General, look, here is the Tuermu River, and here is our position!"
"This is the direction of Chanyu Modu's thirty thousand troops. Without Li Li Yuanba, if you were to fight a decisive battle, where would you want to fight?"
Wang Wang Jian stared at the map for a while and said: "Here, because there are too many swamps here, the Xiongnu can completely use the terrain advantage here to drive us, drive us into this swamp, and we will be very passive!"
Han Xin said: "What if we occupy this swamp in advance?"
Wang Wang Jian's eyes lit up: "In this way, even without Li Li Yuanba, our army can be invincible. If Chanyu Modu wants to eat us, he will have to spend a lot of effort!"
Han Xin said: "What if we occupy this swamp, plus the Hulun Grassland?"
Wang Wang Jian's eyes shone again: "If so, then... combined with the military formation, as long as Chanyu Modu dares to fight, he will surely lose!"
"Even without Li Li Yuanba, without grain, we can win a great victory!"
"Because this grassland is lush, even without herdsmen, it can attract wild cattle and sheep to eat grass here!"
"With these wild cattle and sheep, it is enough to support one hundred thousand troops!"
"With this, even if we wear them out, we can wear out Chanyu Modu's thirty thousand men, not to mention, we still have Li Li Yuanba in our hands!"
"Chanyu Modu, no matter how many people come, they will all die!"
Wang Wang Jian said, full of excitement!
He was truly shocked.
Shocked by Han Xin's brain circuit, bypassing Chanyu Modu's thirty thousand troops to seize the Hulun Grassland; such a brilliant strategy could be thought of by him, it was truly too amazing!
You must know, don't look at this as just a small turn, but with such a turn, the situation has completely changed!
Didn't you, Fan Zeng, want Li Li Yuanba's life?
Then Han Xin wants the lives of your thirty thousand troops!
Not only did he take the lives of thirty thousand troops, but he didn't even give you Li Li Yuanba's life!
Truly worthy of using troops like a ghost!
He was shocked beyond words!
But soon, he couldn't help but get anxious:
"Since you see all this so clearly, why don't you do it?"
"The top priority now should be to quickly seize the Hulun Grassland!"
"Let the army move faster!"
He shouted, at this moment, truly anxious!
And Han Xin frowned, finally shaking his head: "I don't dare!"
Wang Wang Jian was stunned: "Don't dare?"
"Because... it's too risky!"
"What if we encounter an ambush while the army is passing through this swamp? How many people will die?"
"And the experts from the Central Plains, everyone's goal is Li Li Yuanba!"
"What if Li Li Yuanba dies in the hands of these people? How can I explain it to the emperor!"
"There are so many people in Great Qin who want to kill the emperor, and the emperor, at such a critical time, gave Li Li Yuanba to me and let me exterminate the Xiongnu!"
"What if Li Li Yuanba dies? How can I, Han Xin, have the face to see the emperor!"
"This approach is really too risky!"
Han Xin sighed.
And when these words were spoken, Wang Wang Jian's heart shook!
Han Xin!
Having known Han Xin for so long, when had he ever seen this side of Han Xin?
Facing the fifty-six thousand troops of Meng Tian and Meng Wu eyeing him from behind, he smiled disdainfully.
