Chapter 194

Arriving at a deserted place, he bowed respectfully to Fan Zeng and said:

"Mr., may I ask, since your arrival, has my treatment of you ever been the slightest bit negligent?"

Fan Zeng bowed and said: "The Great King has treated me with great courtesy; there has been no negligence whatsoever!"

Chanyu Modu said: "Then does Mr. know how much territory my Xiongnu have lost in these forty days?"

Fan Zeng bowed and said: "At least half!"

Chanyu Modu clenched his fists, his voice cold:

"Then may I ask Mr., do you have a strategy to kill the enemy?"

Fan Zeng gripped his fists, and after a long time, he took a deep breath: "I have a plan in mind!"

Chanyu Modu sighed in relief and said:

"Fine, since that is the case, Chanyu Modu has nothing more to say. From today on, as long as Mr. thinks it is the right thing to do, then Mr. should go ahead and do it!"

"If the sky falls, Chanyu Modu will hold it up for you!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left!

And after these words were spoken, looking at Chanyu Modu's back.

At that moment, a touch of emotion arose in Fan Zeng's heart!

Although this storm was temporarily calmed by Chanyu Modu.

However... everyone's hatred for Fan Zeng had truly reached their bones!

Almost every day, people were whispering in Chanyu Modu's ear about killing Fan Zeng.

However... Chanyu Modu paid no attention to these things!

Yet... by constantly ignoring it, something eventually went wrong!

Only on the third day, the army had an internal mutiny; some people started to rebel, saying they wanted to kill Fan Zeng and save the grassland tribes!

Although this incident only involved a few hundred people and was easily suppressed by Chanyu Modu!

But... at this very moment, the morale of the army was already somewhat chaotic!

Countless Xiongnu generals were worried and found Chanyu Modu to discuss:

"Either fight Han Xin to the death right now, leave this place immediately, or start a fire, cook, and set up camp!"

"If this continues, the morale of the army will truly be ruined!"

They shouted.

They were truly anxious!

And although Chanyu Modu took a deep breath, he did not speak!

Then, another five days passed, and the crowd could no longer stand it; the Xiongnu generals joined forces with the Central Plains experts to find Chanyu Modu, demanding he kill Fan Zeng to remove the pest!

Some even mocked the Xiongnu King, saying his brain was simple and easy to bully, and that just anyone could be his military advisor!

These words made Chanyu Modu angry to the extreme!

Who was he?

He was Chanyu Modu!

The Chanyu Modu Chanyu who killed his father and wife to become the supreme leader of the grassland!

When it came to ruthlessness, who in this world was more ruthless than him?

Yet, the dignified Xiongnu King was mocked to his face by a disciple of a Central Plains sect?

He was furious and wanted to kill someone immediately!

However... reason ultimately triumphed over anger!

Because of Fan Zeng, he had offended too many people; now he could only appease them, not kill indiscriminately!

Chanyu Modu appeased them time and again, and finally sent these people away.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed!

This day, countless people came to find Fan Zeng aggressively.

However, Xiang Yu blocked the way, saying Fan Zeng would not see anyone!

There was no other way, so the crowd had to go find Chanyu Modu again!

The Central Plains experts stated that if they continued to wait like this, then... they were leaving!

They wouldn't care about this matter anymore!

Once these words were spoken, Chanyu Modu only felt immense pressure.

At that moment, he wanted to find Fan Zeng countless times!

But... ultimately, he did not speak!

Just like that, both sides were at a stalemate for nearly half a month.

Just when they had suffered nearly fifty-two days of torture in this place, finally, Fan Zeng spoke:

"Let the entire army lie in ambush; within ten days, Han Xin will definitely attack!"

"Within ten days?"

"Why?"

At that moment, many people did not understand!

Chanyu Modu also did not understand: "Two days ago, there was a battle report saying Han Xin had captured the western grassland!"

"He is still five hundred miles away from us; how can he attack?"

Fan Zeng's gaze was gloomy: "He will definitely attack!"

Sure enough, just when everyone was bewildered.

A scout reported again: "Han Xin's army is behind us, camping again forty miles to the east!"

"This... he really came?"

Chanyu Modu was shocked.

But likewise, he completely did not understand why this was!

Fan Zeng smiled: "This Han Xin is as cunning as a ghost!"

"With his vision, how could he not see the major strategic significance of the Hulun Grassland and the Tuermuhe for destroying the Xiongnu?"

"As long as the Tuermuhe is cut off, it will force all the grassland people and the army to migrate toward the northern snow mountains!"

"Only in this way can the Xiongnu be destroyed!"

"As for other places, so what if they are captured?"

"Just after he captures them, grassland people will secretly graze there; can he manage it?"

"With one hundred thousand people, can he control such a large grassland?"

"Cutting off the river is the only way!"

"Therefore, he must come to the Hulun Grassland!"

"And before, the reason he came and left was because their speed was slow, and they weren't sure if we were lying in ambush here! This person is steady and does not fight battles he is not sure of!"

"All of this was just a smokescreen to confuse us!"

"If we had started a fire and set up camp, it would have been equivalent to clearly telling Han Xin that we had an ambush here; in that case, all the suffering of these forty days would have been in vain!"

"Now, he has finished attacking the surrounding areas and hasn't seen us, so he definitely wouldn't think we could lie in ambush here for so long to kill him, so he is willing to come over!"

"But this person is still steady; he set up camp first and did not attack immediately!"

"He is waiting!"

"Not rushing to swallow the meat that is already at his mouth; this person is truly remarkable!"

"But... we still have to wait!"

Fan Zeng said with a smile, at this very moment, looking like he had a plan in mind!

However, just as he finished saying these words, suddenly, a scout reported: "Han Xin has broken camp!"

"Broken camp?"

"Where to?"

Fan Zeng was stunned!

He looked at the person reporting with a face full of shock!

The scout said: "Bypassing this place, he has gone to the north!"

"The north?"

Once these words were spoken, Fan Zeng was dumbfounded.

At that moment, he hurriedly grabbed the map to check, and upon looking, his face was full of confusion!
