Chapter 209

He spoke, saying that under Xiang Bo's persuasion, Xiang Yu finally calmed his rage!

Next, everyone began to continue their deliberations!

Deliberating on exactly how to kill Li Yuanba!

The Mozi of the Mohist School said, "First, rushing at him all at once is definitely not feasible!"

"Rushing at him all at once causes the heaviest casualties! Even if we kill him, we will need to pay a heavy price!"

"If we wish to kill him, we must make preparations in advance!"

"Dig a large pit, fill the pit with poison, and as long as he enters the pit, he is doomed to die!"

"The problem is, how do we lure him into the pit?"

He spoke with worry; in his view, this was the most difficult part!

The Flame Concubine of the Yin-Yang School said, "Our Yin-Yang School possesses an illusion technique that can lure him into the pit and kill him!"

Upon hearing these words, many people's eyes lit up!

The illusion technique of the Yin-Yang School is famous throughout the world, and everyone has high hopes for it!

"Then what about the location?"

"Where is the location selected?"

Everyone spoke, looking towards Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu!

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu frowned and did not speak.

After pondering for a long time, he looked at everyone present:

"Do you all think this method is feasible?"

"Do you think killing Li Yuanba can be achieved merely by relying on an illusion technique?"

He frowned, finding it incredible!

Yet the Flame Concubine merely smiled and directly used an illusion technique on a Xiongnu soldier!

Instantly, this Xiongnu soldier began to draw his sword, then rushed into the tent, slashing wildly!

When the illusion ended, this soldier looked at everything before him, filled with disbelief, and finally knelt before Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu, requesting forgiveness!

And Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu, watching all this, saw only shock and surprise in his eyes; finally, he cupped his hands towards the Flame Concubine: "This illusion technique is feasible!"

"Why not... try it?"

A Xiongnu minister said:

"Try it first; if successful, we will directly kill Li Yuanba; if not, we will think of other methods!"

As he spoke, he took out a map, then pointed to an area and said:

"At present, Han Xin's great army has occupied the Azha Guhe River; he ordered men to dam the river here, causing our western Xiongnu region to have no river water to drink!"

"And next, he will attack the western area of the Azha Guhe River!"

"There are four hundred thousand Xiongnu troops stationed there!"

"He is extremely likely to attack here!"

"I believe that if we are to set up an ambush, we should make preparations in advance along this road!"

As he spoke, he handed the map to everyone to view!

Everyone present, except for Xiang Yu, were almost all military novices; many could not even understand the map, so in the end, it was Xiang Yu who examined it!

After Xiang Yu looked at it, he finally nodded: "I have no objection!"

After Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu finished looking, he also nodded: "I have no objection!"

"However... let us agree first: this is merely an attempt; if successful, that is naturally best, but if it fails, there is nothing more to say!"

"Good!"

Everyone nodded, and then everyone dispersed!

But after everyone left, a large group of ministers looked towards Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu:

"This... can it really work?"

Their brows were tightly furrowed!

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu smiled: "How could it not work?"

A minister sighed:

"This person Han Xin is incredibly cunning, and his use of troops is like a ghost; last time, when our three hundred thousand great army fought him, we originally thought his army would charge out from our front and engage us in a direct confrontation!"

"But... we searched for him on the front line for two hours and did not find him!"

"Our horses were nearly exhausted from running, and finally, one hundred thousand troops wielding Ma Dao swords charged out from our rear and formed a formation!"

"This caused three hundred thousand people to die miserably, and we lost the upper reaches of the Azha Guhe River!"

"This person uses troops like a ghost; will he fall for such a small trap?"

A Xiongnu minister frowned and spoke...

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu smiled:

"Do not doubt it; this attempt will inevitably fail!"

"Ah?"

"Then why attempt it?"

The minister was filled with confusion!

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu said, "These people are all martial artists from the Central Plains; they are arrogant and conceited!"

"They believe that because they possess some skills others do not, they are incredibly arrogant!"

"Take that Flame Concubine, for example; look at her disdainful manner when she just performed the illusion technique!"

"Look at them when they just entered; who was not strutting with an air of superiority?"

"Even when facing me, the Xiongnu King, not a single one offers a bow!"

"In their eyes, I'm nothing more than a tribal chieftain!"

"These people — their arrogance is almost endearing!"

"There are even some who believe that to kill Li Yuanba, they wouldn't need so many of us — one of them alone could go and handle it!"

"You say this is how the matter can be accomplished?"

"I intend to use this very defeat to crush the fighting spirit of every one of them!"

"Only then will they listen to me!"

"Otherwise, they'll still think killing Li Yuanba is a simple matter!"

"Lord Yinfeng, what say you?"

Yinfeng bowed and nodded:

"The Great King is right — these jianghu people are all of the same stripe. Their actual skill is nothing special, yet every one of them is proud and arrogant!"

"But the Great King must not look down on them entirely. Among these people, many possess unfathomable, god-and-ghost-like abilities. For instance, the Yin-Yang School — they can predict the future. And the Mohist School — they can craft all manner of wondrous mechanisms!"

"There are also Weizhuang, Gai Nie, and others — they are all top-tier experts of Great Qin!"

"Among these people, some truly have real ability!"

"If they can be united in purpose, killing Li Yuanba will be no problem!"

"Therefore, I urge the Great King — a measured rebuke is fine, but do not strike too hard. Jianghu people may be arrogant, but their pride is also extremely strong. Take the Daoist Tianzongren Sect, for example — over a so-called ideal, they have quarreled with each other for several hundred years, and tens of thousands of disciples have died!"

"If the Great King wounds their pride, they may simply walk away!"

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu nodded: "What you say makes sense!"

"Then can you, among these people, introduce and recommend a few who can be put to great use?"

"Rely on these people to swiftly unite all these jianghu folk, to bind them into a single rope!"

"Only then can we deal with Li Yuanba — and Han Xin!"

Yinfeng thought for a long while, then handed a list to Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu:

"The people on this list are all capable of bearing great responsibility. If the Great King wishes to kill Li Yuanba, he cannot do without them! 4.5"

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu finished reading, and finally nodded: "Excellent!"

Then he bowed again to Yinfeng: "Lord, set your mind at ease. If Li Yuanba can truly be killed, whatever you desire, my Xiongnujiang Society will give it our all!"

Yinfeng bowed and said: "If the Great Zhou can be restored, the Central Plains will remain on friendly terms with the Xiongnu for generations!"

"Good!"

The Xiongnu King burst into laughter!

In the blink of an eye, several days passed!

And the so-called attempt had already long since begun.
