Chapter 217

Furthermore, he informed the frontline generals to focus primarily on harassment.

But... he still couldn't help but worry!

After all... these two hundred thousand men faced Li Yuanba, and that Han Xin, whose military tactics were as ghostly as a demon!

After these several clashes, he felt Han Xin's terror even more intensely!

It was truly that you never knew when his army would suddenly surge out, or from what direction!

Just like divine soldiers descending from the heavens, making them impossible to guard against!

With such a general whose tactics were as ghostly as a demon, plus a Li Yuanba capable of slaughtering a million people.

This army of two hundred thousand was truly infinitely dangerous!

His heart was filled with extreme worry, while the general beside him offered him a soothing word, saying, "It's fine; after all, it's an army of two hundred thousand. Even if we can't win, running away is no problem!"

"No matter how fast Li Yuanba's Ten Thousand Mile Misty Cloud Light is, it cannot kill all of an army of two hundred thousand that is determined to flee!"

He was speaking, and just at that moment, suddenly, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu looked toward the distant river and widened his eyes!

Because... this water had actually risen!

"Why?"

"Why has the river here suddenly risen?"

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu asked, and in that instant, the unease in his heart grew even stronger.

Just as the deputy general, bewildered, didn't know how to answer, suddenly, a fast horse came galloping from the distance!

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"It's terrible!"

"The night before last, the Chakin Grassland was ambushed by Han Xin's main army!"

"The twenty thousand garrison troops guarding the Chakin Grassland have all perished miserably!"

"What?"

As the words left his mouth, in that instant, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu's vision went black!

Then he grabbed the man's collar and roared, "You're lying!"

"Even if Jinchi Aguda was more confused, more of a bastard, it would be impossible for him to lose an army of two hundred thousand so quickly!"

"This is an army of two hundred thousand!"

"An army of two hundred thousand determined to flee; how could they be annihilated?"

"Even if they were two hundred thousand weak sheep trying to escape, Li Yuanba could not possibly kill them all!"

"On what grounds!"

"On what grounds!"

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu roared in fury!

Xiang Yu beside him said, "If you surround all of them, and then place a Li Yuanba in the direction they are fleeing!"

"Then the complete annihilation of this army of two hundred thousand is not impossible!"

"Pfft!"

As the words left his mouth, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood!

In that moment, he couldn't help but look at Xiang Yu: "Now, what should be done?"

"I..."

Xiang Yu frowned!

The Ju Zi beside him said, "During this time, through the various generals of the Xiongnu, we have learned that the Chakin Grassland has many, many marshlands!"

"And we planned to use those marshlands to set an ambush for Li Yuanba!"

"If Li Yuanba enters the trap, the probability of killing Li Yuanba will be very high!"

"But now... this grassland is lost, then..."

The Ju Zi frowned fiercely!

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu was even angrier!

In that moment, he wished he could slaughter the Ju Zi!

At this point, what use is saying such things?

This time, he couldn't help but look at Xiang Yu once more: "What should be done?"

Xiang Yu's eyebrows were tightly knitted, and he said nothing!

But just then, an old man behind Xiang Yu spoke:

"Now we should immediately find the next place Han Xin will attack, and then set an ambush there!"

He spoke these words.

And as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and couldn't help but look at him!

Many people wanted to ask, Who are you?

Xiang Yu was also stunned, then immediately jumped off his horse, bowed to this person, and said with immense excitement and respect:

"Second Father!"

"Second Father?"

This title left Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu stunned.

But Xiang Bo was overjoyed, and ran toward this person at once, his face full of excitement:

"You... how did you come?"

He shouted!

Indeed, this person is none other than Fan Zeng!

He was Xiang Yu's foremost strategist during the Chu-Han Contention!

His strategic brilliance enabled Xiang Yu to become the hegemon of the Central Plains in the shortest possible time!

But alas... Xiang Yu fell for Liu Bang's scheme of sowing discord, began to suspect this man, and ultimately drove him away!

And without Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu was like a fierce tiger without a brain; his army did not know why it was formed, nor why it fought!

Although under Xiang Yu's leadership, they could still win every battle.

Although they could still defeat greater numbers with fewer troops!

Yet... strangely, while he won every battle, the territory under his control grew smaller and smaller!

His army likewise dwindled!

This was an utterly absurd situation!

Similarly, this was the consequence of having no brain, no strategist!

Many in later generations have remarked that if Fan Zeng had remained by Xiang Yu's side!

Then... Liu Bang could never have seized the realm!

106. Fan Zeng's Poisonous Scheme: Burying Li Yuanba Alive in a Swamp!

"Father Sub, how have you come?"

At this very moment, among all present, none was more ecstatic than Xiang Yu!

Father Sub, Fan Zeng.

This was the great talent Uncle Xiang Xiang Lianggong had relentlessly sought while still alive.

Yet this man was proud and arrogant, and always unwilling to emerge from seclusion.

Finally, to induce this man to emerge, he directly made him his Father Sub to serve as his advisor!

But... even so, this man remained utterly unmoved!

Only after he was defeated by Li Yuanba and fled back in panic with over ten thousand people did this man finally emerge.

He was finally willing to help him achieve hegemony.

But... regarding the matter of assisting the Xiongnu in killing Li Yuanba, he was always unwilling to come forward!

"No matter what, Li Yuanba is a man of the Central Plains; no matter what, Facing Ying Su is annihilating the Xiongnu!"

"How could the hatred between the Central Plains and the Xiongnu people ever be resolved?"

"Whoever kills Li Yuanba will be a villain for all eternity; this is opposing the hearts and minds of thirty-five million people of the Central Plains!"

"Anyone who wishes to achieve hegemony could never commit such a foolish act!"

Fan Zeng spoke with immense anger.
