Chapter 196
But making some sneers and mocking him was fine, right!
"Hehehehe... a plan in mind!"
"Han Xin will definitely come!"
"Come where?"
"He will definitely come here?"
A group of people sneered at Fan Zeng while packing their things.
Hearing these words in Fan Zeng's ears, it would be a lie to say he didn't feel bad!
Being played like a dog by Han Xin, being mocked by his own people!
All of this made his heart painful to the extreme!
Although Chanyu Modu still treated him with courtesy and was still polite!
Even comforting him!
But... the more this was the case, the more uncomfortable Fan Zeng felt!
Finally, he simply waved his hand and went to one side by himself.
He wanted to be quiet and think carefully about why he had been defeated so miserably!
Why was he played in the palm of Han Xin's hand?
He couldn't figure it out!
But no matter if he could figure it out or not!
On the march toward the north!
Scouts were constantly running toward Han Xin's side:
"General, there is no abnormality in the Hulun Grassland!"
"General, there is no abnormality in the Hulun Grassland!"
"General, there is no abnormality in the Hulun Grassland!"
At that moment, scouts were constantly reporting to Han Xin!
And listening to these scouts' reports, Han Xin frowned tightly, constantly thinking about something.
Lu Wan sighed:
"It's been two months, there hasn't been a single sound from the Hulun Grassland; there shouldn't be anyone there!"
"If there were people, why would they not start a fire or set up camp for two months?"
He spoke, and in fact, Wang Wang Jian, Zhou Zhou Yafu, and Lu Wan were always very clear about Han Xin's plan!
That was to seize the Hulun Grassland!
But... when the army first arrived forty miles away from the Hulun Grassland, Han Xin suddenly ordered to stop advancing!
"Why?"
Zhou Zhou Yafu did not understand at all!
Han Xin said: "I feel something is wrong; the Hulun Grassland is one of the largest grasslands on the grassland, but why is there not a single soldier used for defense?"
Zhou Zhou Yafu said: "Did they not have time?"
"Since we started attacking the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu have been stunned by us, and many grasslands are areas with no one guarding them!"
Han Xin shook his head and said: "It's fine for other grasslands to be like this, but... the Hulun Grassland has the Tuermuhe, which is one of the largest rivers on the grassland; to cut off the Tuermuhe! One can only cut it off at the Hulun Grassland!"
"Such an important place, without even a garrison, isn't it strange?"
"This..."
Zhou Zhou Yafu was bewildered!
For a time, he didn't know what to say.
And Han Xin ordered the army to rest!
After a full four days, Han Xin ordered the army to bypass the Hulun Grassland and attack other places!
"Ah?"
"Why?"
Once the order was given, everyone was stunned.
Fan Kuai did not understand even more and walked toward Han Xin at the first opportunity:
"We have already reached the Hulun Grassland, why not attack inside?"
"If you are afraid of an ambush, I will lead the army to scout!"
"If there is an enemy ambush, I will retreat immediately!"
Wang Wang Jian shook his head and said: "If we send an army, how many troops would we need to send?"
"This Hulun Grassland is a giant grassland spanning three thousand miles, and the surrounding circle of marshland is nearly a hundred miles!"
"How many troops would be needed to search such a huge area?"
"Listen to the Grand General, attack other places first, observe while attacking; as long as there is an army in ambush here, they cannot avoid setting up camp, they cannot avoid starting a fire and cooking!"
"As long as we can confirm they are here, then we will go north and kill the Xiongnu people who are migrating!"
Wang Wang Jian said, directly executing Han Xin's order, breaking camp, and then attacking other places!
And a month passed, Han Xin had attacked all the areas around the Hulun Grassland and returned here again, but... there was still no movement in the Hulun Grassland!
Fan Kuai shouted directly, wanting to occupy the Hulun Grassland and cut off the Tuermuhe!
But... he was stopped by Han Xin again!
"Why?"
"Why?"
This time, it wasn't just Fan Kuai who didn't understand; Zhou Zhou Yafu, Lu Wan, Cao Can, and many others didn't understand either!
Even Wang Wang Jian came to persuade Han Xin:
"You are too cautious; the people I planted have been monitoring here for a month, but I haven't found any smoke from starting a fire and cooking!"
"There shouldn't be anyone here!"
Almost everyone was persuading him.
However, Han Xin only responded with a few words: "I don't believe it!"
After he finished speaking, he directly issued a military order: "Go north, kill the Xiongnu!"
"What?"
Once the military order was given, everyone was dumbfounded!
Go north!
This... is this the decisive battle?
But... the timing is not quite mature yet!
There are still many rivers that have not been cut off!
There are still Xiongnu troops and Xiongnu people grazing in many, many places!
Everyone's scalp was tingling!
Wang Wang Jian even opposed it, saying this could not be done, as it would ruin the big plan!
Everyone was opposing it!
Some even suggested attacking directly; even if there was an ambush, they wouldn't be afraid!
Li Li Yuanba is invincible!
However, once these words were spoken, they were directly glared at by Han Xin!
What he feared most was Li Li Yuanba fighting a decisive battle here!
Because... there were too many marshlands here!
If Li Li Yuanba fought here, it would be very easy to get stuck here!
And if Li Li Yuanba died here, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Ying Su!
Therefore, he was extremely determined!
"Go north, the army acts immediately!"
"This..."
Everyone was numb; although everyone thought this was a foolish move, no one could say anything more.
Even Wang Wang Jian couldn't!
Why?
