Chapter 192

~6 min read 1,126 words

Although no one said anything, the hatred in everyone's eyes as they looked at Fan Zeng grew even stronger!

All of them were staring fixedly at Fan Zeng!

And Fan Zeng still said the same thing: "Han Xin will definitely come!"

Next, another three days passed!

This time, the report of defeat was that Han Xin had struck toward the west!

Two hundred miles away, another grassland had been attacked!

The Xiongnu had suffered nearly five hundred thousand casualties!

"You... Fan Zeng!"

At this moment, a large group of Xiongnu generals pressed toward Fan Zeng, each of them drawing their blades!

Not only them, but even many Central Plains experts were angry, and one by one they surrounded Fan Zeng!

At this moment, even Xiang Yu could barely hold them back!

But he still stood in front of Fan Zeng, holding his Eight-Treasure Dragon Spear!

Finally, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu stepped forward to stop the crowd, and after driving everyone away, he looked toward Fan Zeng!

"Will Han Xin really come?"

Fan Zeng's eyes narrowed, and he said with absolute certainty: "He will definitely come!"

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu sneered: "How can you be sure?"

Fan Zeng said: "Still the same point: his goal is to annihilate the Xiongnu, not just to defeat or cripple them!"

"As long as the goal of annihilating the Xiongnu remains unchanged, he will definitely come to the Hulun Grassland!"

"Fine! If he comes, so be it; if he does not come, I will kill you!"

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu snorted in anger and turned to leave!

And following that, reports of defeat arrived frequently!

Within a few short days, the area within a hundred miles of the Hulun Grassland had been struck by Han Xin!

Li Li Yuanba had killed nearly four hundred thousand people!

All the Xiongnu were fleeing continuously toward the north!

The pressure from these successive reports of defeat was almost too much even for Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu to bear!

His Xiongnu subjects were being slaughtered, yet... he, the Xiongnu King, was standing here indifferent!

His subordinates had requested to kill Fan Zeng many times.

This pressure was truly not something an ordinary person could endure!

Yet... he still chose to believe in Fan Zeng!

Because... he felt that Fan Zeng possessed true talent and learning!

Moreover, it seemed that Fan Zeng was the only one who could save the Xiongnu right now!

And his belief was rewarded!

Just as they were eating dried meat, sleeping on the grass, and being tortured for the fortieth day!

Finally, a Xiongnu soldier reported:

"Han Xin's army has arrived!"

They are currently sixty miles away!

They are only forty miles from that swampy area!

109. Fan Zeng: Being Han Xin's opponent is truly exhausting!

"What?"

"Han Xin's army... has arrived?"

A report came in, and in that instant, countless Xiongnu generals were in an uproar! Countless Central Plains experts were in an uproar! Countless Xiongnu soldiers were in an uproar!

Everyone cheered and jumped for joy; everyone was filled with excitement!

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu and Xiang Yu trembled again and again!

Even Fan Zeng could not help but heave a long sigh of relief!

Although he was absolutely certain that Han Xin would definitely come here!

But when he would come was truly a huge problem!

Forty days!

Over these forty days, how much pressure had he, Fan Zeng, endured!

One must know that these people had gone a full forty days without lighting a fire to cook, living entirely on dried meat!

How many people had vomited from eating dried meat, and felt nauseous just seeing it!

Even Master Master Xiaomeng, who had the best temper, had started to reach for her sword time and again!

Wei Zhuang and Ge Nie had glared with fierce eyes time and again!

Eating dried meat was not the only thing!

The more important thing was the tents!

Without tents, there was no way to stop the mosquito bites!

There were huge numbers of mosquitoes on the grassland, and many of the insects were highly venomous!

One bite, and a huge swelling would appear!

Such vicious insects were something even the native grasslanders could not withstand, let alone these people from the Central Plains!

They couldn't take it!

They simply couldn't take it!

Master Master Xiaomeng even had bumps on her face!

Even though she remained clean, after these forty days, she was no longer as radiant!

Even though Duanmu Rong had prepared some herbal medicine, it could not completely fend off the mosquito bites; now, she covered her face with a light veil, only because there were acne marks on her face!

These people all hated him to the bone, wishing they could draw their swords and slaughter him!

Besides that, there was the food problem!

Although the dried meat Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu and the others brought was plentiful!

But... with over three hundred thousand people eating for over forty days, even the largest supply of dried meat should have been exhausted by now!

At first, some people ran to the herdsmen's homes to plunder.

But as the plundering increased, the herdsmen were scared away!

There was no other way; they had to endure it, and started eating raw grass and so on!

Some people were so hungry they had even started eating raw meat!

Under such difficult conditions, everyone gritted their teeth and persisted.

On one hand, they knew this was to kill Li Li Yuanba!

On the other hand, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu's deterrent power was strong enough!

But without a doubt, everyone hated Fan Zeng!

Even the look in Xiang Yu's eyes when he looked at Fan Zeng carried a hint of hatred!

Making people suffer for forty days, there was bound to be some resentment!

But fortunately, everyone's suffering had not been in vain!

Now, Han Xin had come!

Han Xin had come!

"Prepare the ambush. Zhebie, you take one hundred thousand men and lie in ambush in the swamp area!"

"Jin Wu, you take fifty thousand men and lie in ambush on the left flank!"

"Xiang Yu, you take fifty thousand men and lie in ambush on the right flank!"

"Central Plains experts, Li Li Yuanba is fast, and in most cases, he will lead the vanguard in the direction the army is advancing. You stay at the very end; once he passes, you will immediately begin to surround and kill him!"

"The remaining one hundred thousand men will stay here with me, ready at any time!"

Fan Zeng arranged quickly.

Everyone's eyes were like fire, and they nodded, gritting their teeth.

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu was so excited he clenched his fists!

The decisive battle!
