Chapter 205

However, Han Xin merely smiled: "Let him do what he wants. If he sends more troops, so much the better. If not, with Li Yuanba, I can still annihilate the Xiongnu!"

"What I mean is..."

Wang Jian opened his mouth; he wanted to warn Han Xin to guard against Meng Wu's five hundred and sixty thousand men!

But... the words reached his lips, yet he could not speak them!

Internal strife!

He hated internal strife and dared even less to speak of it recklessly!

He could only offer a warning, urging Han Xin to be on guard!

Yet Han Xin simply did not care about politics or internal strife at all; for a moment, he did not know what to say!

He could only order Cao Can to monitor these five hundred and sixty thousand troops constantly, and if there was even the slightest sign of treachery, report it immediately!

Meanwhile, Han Xin was busy!

Because... the first battle against the Xiongnu was about to begin!

And in this battle, he intended to completely annihilate the three hundred thousand Xiongnu!

At this very moment, he was making meticulous deployments!

And on this day, many, many experts had already arrived among the Xiongnu!

And among these experts, there were very many!

Dian Qing of the Agricultural Sect, Master Master Xiaomeng of the Heavenly Sect of the Daoist School, and Xiaoyaozi of the Human Sect of the Daoist School!

There was even... the current Master of the Mohist School!

He had even brought the legendary mechanical beasts!

Besides them, there were also Ge Nie, Weizhuang, and others!

They had all arrived!

And along the way, they had heard many, many pieces of news!

For instance, Han Xin's great army had already clashed with the Xiongnu great army.

Under Li Yuanba's peerless combat power, the Xiongnu great army had suffered heavy casualties!

Defeated again and again, they were almost powerless to resist.

Similarly, they also heard an even more terrifying piece of news!

Li Yuanba had once killed over two hundred thousand Xiongnu people in a single day!

Afterwards, he had killed another hundred thousand!

Adding the six hundred thousand Xiongnu troops killed before!

Now, his total number of Xiongnu kills had already exceeded one million!

And how many Xiongnu people were there in total?

Six million!

Six million at most!

And he, alone, had killed one million!

"The Human Butcher!"

"That Human Butcher!"

At that moment, all the experts who had come to the Xiongnu were trembling!

Ge Nie and Weizhuang were even gripping the swords in their hands tightly!

This Human Butcher!

Truly killing without blinking an eye!

This time, we must surely kill this demon!

Those who shared the same thought included Xiaoyaozi of the Human Sect of the Daoist School!

There were also forces from the Agricultural Sect, the Mohist School, and various other factions!

This time, they came for only one thing: to kill Li Yuanba.

101. The Qin Shi Huang among the Xiongnu! Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu!

The grasslands are vast, boundless, with no edge in sight!

This is a super-large territory no smaller than the current territory of the Great Qin.

And on this land live nearly six million Xiongnu people!

They usually make a living by herding cattle and horses!

But once winter arrives, due to snow, withered grass and trees, and various other reasons, they can no longer continue herding!

This period is when cattle and sheep are most likely to starve to death!

It is also the time when the people of the grasslands endure the greatest hardship!

Wealthier families would still stockpile some beef and mutton, dry it into jerky, or slaughter fresh animals to satisfy their hunger!

But poorer families were not so lucky!

If they encountered depleted pasture resources and frozen water sources, the situation would almost certainly be one of waiting to die!

Thus, numerous northern grassland tribes set their sights on the Central Plains continent to the south!

That was a territory full of fertile land!

Not only was the land fertile, but there were also over thirty million hardworking and simple people farming there!

Winter on the grasslands is a time of barrenness!

But winter on the Central Plains is a time when everyone has food and drink.

Therefore, countless grassland people spontaneously organized and traveled to the Central Plains to plunder!

Over time, this formed an army!

Finally, a tribe was formed!

When King Ping of Zhou moved the capital, the strongest tribe was born!

And this tribe was the Xiongnu!

During the Spring and Autumn period, the Central Plains were fragmented, and feudal lords fought fiercely!

At this same time, the grassland tribes were also at war, fighting each other to the death over pastures and water sources!

Under such warfare, small tribes were wiped out, and great tribes began to rise!

By the time the Warring States period arrived, the vast grassland was left with only a dozen or so tribes!

At this very moment, a mighty ruler was born in the already incredibly strong Xiongnu tribe on the grasslands!

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu!

In history, this man was a mighty ruler of the grassland tribes!

In terms of achievements on the grasslands, he was no worse than Qin Shi Huang, who unified the Central Plains continent!

In terms of ruthlessness, he surpassed even Li Shimin of later generations!

Because, compared to achievements, in history, he was the first man in the history of the northern grasslands to unify the grassland tribes!

And in terms of ruthlessness, Li Shimin dared not kill his father, but he dared to kill his father!

Indeed, this man was the one who rebelled and usurped the throne!

Moreover, for this throne, he not only personally slaughtered his father, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu!

To intimidate the people, he even slaughtered his own wife!

In terms of ruthlessness, no one could match this man!

But it was precisely through this ruthlessness that he established the most powerful Xiongnu in Chinese history!

Unifying the north, bringing the entire northern grassland under the Xiongnu's domain!

People of later generations always mock the marriage-alliance policy of Emperors Wen and Jing of the Han Dynasty!

But... they are far from knowing what kind of Xiongnu the Han Dynasty actually faced!

Their territory was larger than that of the Great Han, and their weapons were superior to those of the Great Han!

Archery, horsemanship, and the like were far superior to those of the Great Han!

Even the military formations that the Han people took pride in were far inferior to those of the Xiongnu!

In that era, the Han Dynasty was truly comprehensively crushed by the Xiongnu in external warfare!

Thus, they were forced into marriage alliances, hoping to gain space to develop through this measure!

And if the Han Dynasty were bullied by the Xiongnu, that would be one thing!
