Chapter 222
Faced with certain conflicts and clashes among the army generals, he never paid them any heed.
Even in some reports written to Ying Su, he only wrote about military affairs, never penning any emotional words of loyalty!
This made Wang Jian headache after headache!
Your merit shakes the lord; Han Xin, you are leading Ying Su's most elite hundred thousand troops, along with Ying Su's fiercest men!
You have taken all these people away; do you not fear that Ying Su will develop some thoughts?
Regarding this, Wang Jian was always worried, fearing that Han Xin only understood warfare but not human relations and worldly wisdom.
He worried that such a character would later cause Ying Su to become wary, thereby leading to an unfavorable outcome for him!
But... it now seems that I worried too much!
Han Xin has truly devoted his heart to Ying Su!
A scholar dies for one who understands him!
"Han Xin!"
Wang Jian sighed again, and then slapped his palm onto Han Xin's shoulder!
For this young man, Wang Jian's admiration grew even stronger.
Yet he did not delay in the slightest, saying to Han Xin:
"Since you have made your decision, then go do it; if anything happens, I will bear it! I will bear it with the lives of my entire family!"
"If the new Emperor blames us, I, Wang Jian, will risk the lives of all eighty-eight hundred and seventy-seven members of my family to protect and escort you!"
Wang Jian's eyes were incredibly resolute!
Han Xin still frowned.
After pondering for a long time, he said to Wang Jian, "Wait a moment; wait for Fan Kuai to return. As long as I can confirm that those Central Plains experts are ambushing the grain route, then... destroying Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's three hundred thousand troops within one month will be no problem!"
"If we can capture Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu alive, then this battle is over!"
"All remaining battles will merely be cleanup!"
"The promise I made before the Emperor to destroy the Xiongnu in at most one year and at least half a year will be fully realized!"
Han Xin spoke excitedly, his eyes at that moment filled entirely with brilliance!
And Wang Jian was equally excited!
At most one year, at least half a year, to destroy the Xiongnu!
Once this is accomplished, Han Xin will not only stand alone in the Great Qin, but even looking across the entire historical records, he will be in a league of his own!
Given a separate page?
Heh heh!
That underestimates Han Xin's achievements too much!
This is worthy of a dedicated biography!
Destroying the Xiongnu!
This is not merely defeating them!
It is truly annihilating them!
Completely eradicating the northern calamity!
And Ying Su will fully qualify to stand alongside the First Emperor Ying Zheng!
Wang Jian was very excited!
Meanwhile, on the other side!
Inside Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's camp!
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since the news arrived that the Qin Army's grain route had been cut off.
Yet... the news of Li Yuanba being buried alive had still not arrived!
Not only had the news of Li Yuanba being buried alive not arrived, but even news that fighting had begun had not been transmitted!
"Why!"
"Why?"
Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu was extremely angry!
Nowadays, although he remained polite and respectful toward Fan Zeng, his tone clearly showed doubt toward Fan Zeng!
As for Fan Zeng, he was burning with anxiety.
Again and again, he gazed into the distance; again and again, he paced back and forth.
Then, he took out a map to examine it!
Just as a messenger once again reported that no combat had occurred on the Qin Army's grain route and that the Qin Army had already marched, heading toward the Hulun Grassland direction, Fan Zeng, who was relieving himself, suddenly did not even have time to wipe his buttocks and roared aloud, "Bad news!"
Then, holding up his trousers, he rushed quickly toward Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's tent, shouting loudly:
"Bad news!"
"Bad news!"
"Disastrous news!"
Inside Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's camp!
Chanyu Modu was accompanying Xiang Yu, watching a grassland dance.
Watching those grassland beauties dance gracefully, some of the resentment in Xiang Yu's heart dissipated.
But just at this moment, Fan Zeng ran in holding up his trousers, leaving both Xiang Yu and Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu with faces full of confusion!
They simultaneously looked toward Fan Zeng!
"How is it bad news?"
Holding up his trousers and stamping his feet, Fan Zeng cried, "That brat Han Xin has played me for a fool!"
"This old man wants Li Yuanba's life, but that brat Han Xin wants the life of the Great King and his three hundred thousand troops!"
"Great King, quickly! Immediately!"
"Immediately order the great army to move to Hulun Grassland!"
"Immediately order those Central Plains experts to go swiftly to Hulun Grassland!"
"Ten thousand fires urgent!"
"Ten thousand fires urgent!"
"The decisive battlefield has changed! It has changed!"
108. The Decisive Battle! It has come!
"Ten thousand fires urgent?"
"The location of the great decisive battle has changed?"
The moment the words left his lips, whether Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu or Xiang Yu, they were all stunned.
They all looked at Fan Zeng in confusion:
"What great decisive battle?"
"What ten thousand fires urgent?"
Both men were utterly puzzled.
Fan Zeng said anxiously, "First, move the troops, move the troops to Hulun Grassland!"
"Then order all Central Plains experts to come to Hulun Grassland!"
"Act immediately; I will explain to you on the way!"
After shouting this, he immediately ran back to his own tent and began packing his things!
Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu and Xiang Yu remained bewildered.
But without any delay, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu still issued the order to move the great army at the very first opportunity!
On the road, both men looked at Fan Zeng, asking him what on earth was the reason for all this.
Fan Zeng directly took out a map, pointed to Hulun Grassland, Chakin Grassland, and the position to cut off the supply line, and said:
"Previously, I intended to use the method of cutting off the supply line to lure Han Xin, making him dispatch Li Yuanba, while the Central Plains experts would intercept and kill Li Yuanba here!"
"And we, in order not to startle the snake, would advance the great army slowly; once the battle started over there, we would slowly surround Han Xin's army!"
"Without Li Yuanba, Han Xin is fundamentally incapable of fighting us head-on; with our three hundred thousand men, we could simply starve Han Xin to death!"
"But... it has changed! It has changed!"
"That little rascal Han Xin saw through my mind, saw through my scheme!"
"He... he actually abandoned the supply line, and then headed straight for Hulun Grassland!"
