Chapter 228
Because... all the pastures to the north have already been ravaged by him!
Within a radius of five hundred li, there is no longer any territory that has not been ravaged by him!
"Why go north again?"
Fan Zeng was completely baffled!
But... sweat was indeed streaming down the forehead of Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu!
"He... he has gone to hunt down my Xiongnu people!"
"What?"
At those words, Fan Zeng leaped to his feet in an instant.
He picked up the map to examine it!
And upon looking, he was truly stunned into silence!
Yes, Chanyu Modu was right; he has gone to slaughter the Xiongnu people!
Because... all the Xiongnu people have been migrating north during this period!
And to slaughter the Xiongnu people, one must go north!
"Retreat!"
"Retreat quickly!"
At that moment, Chanyu Modu shouted!
He could no longer care about anything else!
Fan Zeng had a splitting headache; he looked at the map, then at the north, and at that moment, his head truly felt like it was exploding!
This Han Xin... he... why is he so difficult to deal with!
Why is being his opponent so exhausting?
Fan Zeng was truly weary at heart!
110. The Mad Li Yuanba is too fierce! He is truly too fierce!
"Retreat!"...
"Retreat!"
"All armies, move immediately to pursue Han Xin!"
Hulun Pasture!
Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu was shouting.
At this very moment, he was completely panicked!
If Han Xin were to catch up with the people migrating north.
Then without a doubt, Han Xin would unleash an unprecedented massacre!
Since the war between the Xiongnu and the Great Qin began, now, about one million five hundred thousand people have already been killed by Li Yuanba on the grasslands.
If more die, even Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu cannot endure it.
Therefore, no matter what, he must go to save those people.
Even if the entire army is annihilated, he must do everything possible to save the people of the grasslands!
He truly does not wish to see a single Xiongnu person die miserably!
He shouted repeatedly, urging the soldiers to move quickly!
Fan Zeng watched Chanyu Modu's anxious back, then looked north again.
At this very moment, he felt a sensation as if his heart were being sliced by a knife!
Han Xin, oh Han Xin!
What kind of demonic genius is this, using troops with such treacherous and sinister cunning!
Why does he refuse to follow conventional logic!
One deviation from convention is one thing, but why does he refuse to follow convention every single time!
Speaking logically, throughout history, in every battle, no matter who was commanding the army.
Facing a situation where supply lines are cut, which general does not panic?
When supply lines are cut, the first reaction of any general should be to seize back the supply lines!
Never mind how strong your army is; even if you have already become an exhausted force, you should do everything possible to seize back the supply lines!
Never mind whether provisions are sufficient or what the current state of the army is!
One must seize back the supply lines at the very first opportunity!
Because these are supply lines!
They concern the food, clothing, and supplies of the entire army.
No general can abandon the supply lines.
Even during the Battle of Changping in years past, when Zhao Kuo learned the supply lines were cut, he immediately worked to reopen them!
Wang Jian, Li Mu, Wu Qi, Pang Juan, Sun Wu; any famous general acted this way!
Even if the morale of the army is extremely low, one must ensure the safety of the supply lines!
Yet, Han Xin alone was able to abandon the supply lines!
Remember, you possess Li Yuanba, an invincible fierce warrior who can fight hundreds of thousands of soldiers single-handedly!
Under these circumstances, the first reaction of any general should be to dispatch Li Yuanba to reopen the supply lines!
But... Han Xin truly did abandon the supply lines!
Leaving such a fierce Li Yuanba unused, he simply chose to abandon the supply lines!
What the hell kind of brain is this!
Good!
Even if Han Xin is formidable, uses troops steadily, and senses danger to the grain supply route,
after abandoning the grain supply route, the army's food, clothing, and supplies must still be resolved!
At this moment, isn't occupying the Hulun Grasslands the best choice?
But... you just won't come over!
The first time you didn't come over!
Fine!
I'll count it as you being steady; you sense an ambush here!
But... but it's been almost two months!
Two months, three hundred thousand troops without lighting fires, without setting up camp, with not even a sliver of possibility of exposure!
Yet Han Xin still won't come over!
On what grounds!
You not coming over is one thing, but you damn well swept through all the surrounding grasslands!
With all the surrounding grasslands cleared, you should come over now!
A vast expanse of open ground surrounds the area; not a single rustle of wind or movement in the Hulun Grasslands; you must come over now!
But... still no coming over!
After circling around, he actually intends to slaughter the Xiongnu people migrating north?
"Pfft!"
Fan Zeng is going mad!
At that moment, the anger truly churned in his chest!
He had truly never seen anyone like Han Xin!
Once acting against convention, every single time acting against convention!
Time and again, he is truly driving Fan Zeng mad.
He was furious beyond measure, but... he had no way at all.
At this very moment, he could only follow Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu and begin ordering all the great army to retreat!
And all the Xiongnu generals who learned of this, along with all the experts from the Central Plains, stared at Fan Zeng; each sneered, each glared with fury!
Some even wished to kill him on the spot!
Of course, no one dared to do so in front of Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu!
