Chapter 227

"Now there is only one way, and that is to retreat!"

"And, we must retreat as soon as possible!"

"If we don't retreat, I feel that these 400, 00 people might not be able to leave!"

"Because I can imagine his next combat deployment: use 100, 00 people to surround this swamp!"

"It doesn't even have to be a complete encirclement, mainly just driving the nearby cattle and sheep, and then using the army to shrink the encirclement step by step!"

"When he shrinks the encirclement to a certain range, it will be the moment of the decisive battle!"

"That weapon that spits fire will densely bomb us!"

"Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao will also charge into the Hulun Grassland like lunatics and slaughter us!"

"Under Han Xin's formation, we can't run, we can't fight, and at that time, we will only be waiting for death!"

"So, there is only one way now, go!"

"Leave immediately!"

"Go around the Great Snow Mountain and walk out of the far north!"

"Through here, harass the Roman Empire in the north; if we can conquer this country, we can obtain good development and recuperate!"

"Wait until Li Li Yuanba dies, wait until Ying Su dies, wait until all these fierce generals of the Great Qin die, then the Xiongnu can fight back and retake this grassland area!"

"Even if we can't conquer this country, just by plundering, the Xiongnu people can still live a good life!"

"Recuperating is also completely possible!"

Fan Zeng said.

At this very moment, he had already begun to look forward to all this.

The Xiongnu soldiers' individual combat capability was very fierce.

Often one Xiongnu soldier could fight three Central Plains soldiers!

And if equipped with the Xiongnu soldiers' warhorses, one Xiongnu soldier fighting ten Central Plains soldiers was not a problem!

If such fierce combat power were to attack the Roman Empire, it is hard to imagine how they could resist the fierce Xiongnu people without the Great Wall, without Li Li Yuanba, and without artillery!

It would be very easy to conquer the Roman Empire!

And after conquering the Roman Empire, the Xiongnu people could recuperate there.

After becoming completely strong, they could return to this land!

Fan Zeng looked forward to it again and again; he was very optimistic about his idea!

However, after he said these words, Chanyu Modu's Left Wise King, Wanyan Wanyan Dalai, was furious:

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"The Xiongnu people will either die in battle or slaughter all the two-legged sheep of the Central Plains; it is absolutely impossible to retreat!"

He said angrily.

Even Chanyu Modu was nodding.

This scene made Fan Zeng not understand on the spot; he looked at Chanyu Modu in confusion:

"I remember when Li Li Yuanba first attacked, you were the first to propose taking all the Xiongnu people to migrate; why can't you do it now?"

Fan Zeng was very puzzled!

Chanyu Modu said angrily: "Times have changed; at that time, not so many Xiongnu people had died, so I could endure and retreat!"

"But Li Li Yuanba killed so many of my Xiongnu people; if I don't tear him into pieces, how can I face the Xiongnu people?"

"And this battle, I brought 200, 00 people in, and as a result, less than 20, 00 came back with me!"

"Look at their eyes, whose eyes are not bloodshot?"

"This battle must be fought!"

"And we must kill Li Li Yuanba, or capture Ying Su alive!"

"Otherwise, we will never stop!"

He was furious!

And Fan Zeng, listening to his words, frowned!

In this instant, he suddenly understood Chanyu Modu!

This is like a gambler!

When placing a bet at the beginning, because of the small investment, one can still maintain rationality and know when to stop!

But as the investment gets bigger and bigger, rationality cannot be maintained!

At this time, he only thinks of one thing!

And that is to win back the money!

And now, only by killing Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao, defeating Han Xin, and capturing Ying Su alive, can this be called winning back the money!

Fan Zeng understood this mentality.

He also understood that people in this state cannot be persuaded.

If you want him to recognize reality, there is only one way!

And that is... let him lose all his current stakes!

Lose until he doesn't even have his underwear left!

Then naturally, he won't think about winning back the money anymore!

But... this is an army of 400, 00!

400, 00 people, just accompanying him in a big gamble?

If the gamble is lost, will all 400, 00 troops die?

Fan Zeng kept thinking, kept pondering!

At first, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this!

Just as Han Xin said, anyway, they are all Xiongnu people, he, Fan Zeng, doesn't feel heartache!

But... recalling the repeated courtesies and help Chanyu Modu had given him since he came to the grassland...

But... with a roar, he still led the army to charge inside!

After a while, he bowed to Chanyu Modu:

"You want to kill Li Li Yuanba, you want to capture Ying Su alive, I can understand, but as a strategist, I must advise you, this won't work!"

"The only path now is to retreat!"

"Only by retreating and preserving strength is the best policy!"

"Any struggle is futile!"

"Because... when we started attacking the swamp today, I told you!"

"Opportunity lost will not return! That opportunity is already gone, it's completely gone!"

"No matter how unwilling you are, you have to grit your teeth and accept it! Otherwise, you will only lose more!"

"But if you are really unwilling to leave like this, then I will give you one last plan!"

"If it succeeds, then this battle can continue!"

"And if it fails, all Xiongnu people must retreat immediately and abandon the grassland!"

"If you insist on continuing to fight, then I, Fan Zeng, have done my best for you; since you are so unwilling to listen to advice, I should leave!"

He finished speaking and bowed deeply to Chanyu Modu!

This bow was to repay Chanyu Modu for his courtesy during these days!

Chanyu Modu thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Tell me!"

Fan Zeng said: "Now, Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao are both in a poisoned state; they cannot wake up now!"

"But they cannot be easily found either!"

"And in this situation, only one person can become the target!"

"Ying Su!"

"Capture Ying Su alive!"

"Now, immediately, send the strongest experts to sneak into the enemy camp, capture Ying Su alive, and bring him back!"

"Use his life to force Han Xin, Li Li Yuanba, and Li Li Cunxiao, as well as Wang Wang Jian and these people, to all commit suicide!"

"Only in this way can we settle the world in one battle, otherwise, it's impossible!"

He said.

And after these words were spoken, Chanyu Modu's eyes instantly lit up!
