Chapter 213

~6 min read 1,155 words

The two of them walked out of the camp tent laughing and joking, then took up the command flags to begin mobilizing the troops!

Han Xin continued to shout: "Zhou Bo, Xia Xia Houying, you two will each lead one thousand men. Like the task given to Lu Wan and Fan Kuai, you are to wave flags and shout, but... the location for your ambush is not elsewhere, but right here!"

"Right inside this very camp!"

"Understood!"

The two responded in unison!

Han Xin closed his eyes, his mind continuing to conceive and perfect his plan!

A moment later, he looked toward Xu Chu and Lu Bu: "Xu Chu, Lu Bu, you two will each lead five thousand men to lie in ambush in the marshlands thirty miles east of the camp!"

"When you see the Xiongnu army approaching, riding their war chariots, fight with your lives; you must not let them enter the marshlands!"

"Even if you truly cannot hold them back, you must create the impression that you are fighting to the death but still failing to stop them!"

"You must make them feel that as long as they charge into these marshlands, they will be close to catching up with our main army!"

"Understood!"

Both nodded and then departed!

Finally, Han Xin looked toward Zhou Zhou Yafu, Cao Can, the Eighteen Riders of Yan, and Cao Cao Zhengchun and the others!

"You will take sixty thousand men, all of you lying in ambush within the marshlands!"

"At the same time, prepare grappling hooks, lassos, crossbows, war chariots, and all other necessary items!"

"As soon as they dare to enter the marshlands, ensure they never return; you must annihilate them completely!"

"Understood!"

The group acknowledged the order and immediately began preparations!

Finally, Han Xin looked toward Ying Su and Wang Wang Jian: "Your Majesty, you and the old General will stay together!"

"Likewise, old General, His Majesty's safety is entrusted to you!"

Wang Wang Jian cupped his hands and bowed to Ying Su and Han Xin respectively:

"If Wang Wang Jian lives, His Majesty lives; if Wang Wang Jian dies, I beg His Majesty to ride my horse and flee!"

"To die for His Majesty is Wang Wang Jian's honor!"

"Hmm!"

Han Xin bowed deeply to Wang Wang Jian, and finally, looked toward Yao Yue: "Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao, is it convenient to move them?"

Yao Yue shook her head:

"Impossible!"

"They need to be bled right now; if they are moved at all, they will enter a very dangerous state!"

Han Xin said:

"Then you will stay here; no matter what commotion occurs outside, do not make a sound!"

"Ah?"

"This..."

Yao Yue was stunned!

Wang Wang Jian was also stunned!

Ying Su likewise looked at Han Xin in disbelief!

Damn it, to leave two people as important as Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao right here?

Just letting the Xiongnu army pass by this place?

If even one Xiongnu soldier pulled open this tent flap to take a look, it would all be over!

Even if Yao Yue is a supreme expert, and her Wedding Dress Divine Art is incredibly powerful!

But... no matter how powerful Yao Yue is, she cannot be like Li Li Yuanba, fighting hundreds of thousands of troops alone!

More importantly, Li Li Cunxiao and Li Li Yuanba are currently in a state of total unconsciousness; let alone some expert coming!

Even if a child came, they could easily slaughter the two of them!

Ying Su was truly stunned!

Yao Yue felt her scalp go numb as well!

Wang Wang Jian even growled at Han Xin: "Han Xin... you... you are too daring!"

His heart was pounding!

Having spent so much time with Han Xin, he discovered that when this man wants to be steady, he is truly steady!

Fan Zeng spent two months with three hundred thousand men on the Hulun Grassland without lighting fires to cook or setting up camp, trying to lure him out, yet he didn't lure out a single thing!

But if one speaks of being wild, he is truly wild enough!

Just leaving these two important people, Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao, here?

He felt terrified!

Even Ying Su couldn't help but swallow his saliva again and again!

This... this is a real-life Empty Fort Strategy!

But the Empty Fort Strategy in the novels is fictional!

Moreover, even in the novels, there was the psychological warfare between Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, plus incredibly complex political factors, and all sorts of messy coincidences like being soulmates, for the Empty Fort Strategy to succeed!

But right now... Fan Zeng has no political factors!

The two of them can't be called soulmates at all!

They are all mortal enemies!

Fan Zeng truly wants to kill Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao!

Can this succeed?

Ying Su frowned deeply!

And just as he was hesitating!

Suddenly, Han Xin bowed to Ying Su:

"Your Majesty, regarding military matters, please trust Han Xin completely!"

"If you, Li Li Yuanba, Li Li Cunxiao, Yao Yue, or the old General Wang Wang Jian suffer even the slightest harm, Han Xin will die to apologize!"

After he finished speaking, he knelt directly on the ground, then drew his sword to cut off a lock of his own hair and handed it to Ying Su!

Ying Su took the lock of hair, then nodded:

"Fine!"

"I!"

"And my country and its people, are all entrusted to you!"

After he finished speaking, he took Wang Wang Jian and left without looking back!

And Han Xin clenched his fists tightly!

At that moment, he kept repeating one sentence in his heart:

"A scholar dies for his soulmate; Han Xin is willing to die for the Emperor!"

After speaking, he let out a loud roar: "All troops, move!"

"Retreat!"

118. Fan Zeng: This old man is going to be played to death by Han Xin!

In Han Xin's military camp!

At this moment, the army was in motion!

Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Cao Cao Zhengchun, Xia Xia Houying, Zhou Zhou Yafu!

They each took Han Xin's military orders and headed to their respective locations!

In the blink of an eye, the vast military camp was empty!

At least, on the surface, it was empty!

In the shadows, there were still two thousand men led by Zhou Bo and Xia Xia Houying respectively, lying in ambush within the tents!

But... how should one put it, a camp for one hundred thousand people is too big!

So big that accommodating two thousand people felt like nothing!

Looking from outside the entire camp, it was completely an empty camp!

And in one of the tents inside the empty camp, there were still Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao!

They lay on the bed, tubes inserted into their arms, and endless black blood was dripping out along the tubes.
