Chapter 231

Xia Houying, standing beside him, pointed toward the swamp and said in utter panic:

"He... he rushed into the swamp!"

"Not only him, but also Fan Kuai!"

"The two of them rushed in together!"

As Xia Houying spoke, cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

Behind him, Lu Wan smiled and said:

"It's fine, General. You are too cautious. Look, there isn't a single person over by the swamp!"

"Once we cross this swamp, the Hulun Grassland will be ours!"

"At that time, cutting off the Tuermuhe River will bring us one step closer to destroying the Xiongnu!"

As Lu Wan spoke, he grew excited!

Upon hearing this, Han Xin's eyes widened in fury:

"What was my order as General?"

"Who permitted them to rush into the swamp?"

He was filled with boundless rage!

And just at that moment!

Suddenly, an army emerged from the previously empty swamp!

111. I told you to retreat from the swamp, and you damn well charged in? Li Yuanba explodes at Han Xin!

Two days ago!

After learning of Han Xin's northward advance.

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu panicked!

He immediately wanted to assemble the army and follow north to pursue Han Xin!

Planning to use the flesh and blood of three hundred thousand soldiers to block Han Xin!

However, just as the great army finished packing their gear and prepared to depart!

Suddenly, Fan Zeng ran over and shouted at Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu:

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

"We cannot go!"

"Everyone must immediately return to their original positions!"

"Continue the ambush!"

"What?"

The moment the words left his mouth, everyone was stunned!

Countless people shouted angrily at Fan Zeng:

"Fan Zeng, what do you mean!"

As they shouted, at that moment, many people surrounded Fan Zeng!

At that moment, even Chanyu Modu felt some anger; he grabbed the reins and stared straight at Fan Zeng with his eyes!

Fan Zeng shouted: "If you go, the three hundred thousand soldiers will surely die!"

"Not only will the three hundred thousand soldiers surely die, but the Xiongnu will also be destroyed!"

"If you still trust me, listen to me, stay in place, and do not move!"

"His so-called northward march to kill Xiongnu commoners is still a ruse, deceiving us!"

"Believe me, Han Xin's great army will definitely attack!"

"And this time will not be long: three days! At most three days!"

He kept shouting out!

And once these words were spoken, everyone was stunned!

"What?"

"The northward march is a ruse?"

"It is deception?"

"And Han Xin's great army will definitely attack?"

"And within three days?"

The moment the words left his mouth, everyone present turned pale with shock, and then everyone burst into laughter!

"Fan Zeng, do you really take yourself so seriously?"

"Do you really think you are Jiang Ziya, or Sun Wu?"

"Calculating without error?"

"Although I do not understand military strategy, I know how cruel Han Xin and Li Yuanba are!"

"Once he reaches the north and catches up with the Xiongnu commoners, he will surely kill them all!"

"Han Xin has already set out, yet you still speak so arrogantly here?"

At that moment, everyone shook their heads, and everyone laughed!

"Chanyu Modu Chanyu, this person spreads false rumors to confuse the people; kill him!"

"If not for him, our Xiongnu would not have lost more than half our land within two months, nor would hundreds of thousands have died!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

At that moment, many Xiongnu generals drew their blades!

They wanted to kill Fan Zeng!

But all of this was ultimately stopped by Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu; he looked at Fan Zeng for a long time without speaking!

After a long while, he spoke:

"I know that if those three hundred thousand people go, they will surely die!"

"I also know that once we are all dead, the Xiongnu will be gone!"

"But... I cannot stand idly by and watch all the Xiongnu be slaughtered by Li Yuanba without doing anything!"

"Because I am the Chanyu Modu Chanyu of the Xiongnu! I am the King of the Xiongnu!"

"Even if I am a king who seized the throne by patricide and killing my wife, I am still a king!"

"I cannot stand here cowering while all the Xiongnu people die miserably!"

Chanyu Modu spoke these words.

Fan Zeng cried out anxiously, "Trust me, it won't take long, only three days! Within three days, Han Xin will surely arrive!"

"After he arrives here, we can use the advantage of the swamp terrain to completely defeat Han Xin, slaughter Li Yuanba, and even bury Han Xin's hundred thousand troops here!"

He shouted with his mouth open.

Chanyu Modu looked at him again and again!

Then he looked at all the Xiongnu generals present.

Finally, he looked at Fan Zeng again:

"I have always trusted you!"

"But... you have always disappointed me!"

"You want me to trust you, but you must give me a reason to trust you!"

Fan Zeng said, "Do you believe me when I say Han Xin is a god?"

"What?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Chanyu Modu froze!

Fan Zeng continued, "Then do you believe me when I say Li Yuanba is a god?"

"Hmm?"

Chanyu Modu frowned wildly!

Fan Zeng said:

"Han Xin is not a god, and Li Yuanba is not a god either. Then I ask you, without capturing the Hulun Pasture and without cutting off the Tu'er Mother River, how did Han Xin make everyone on the grassland flee north?"

"Without making all the people on the grassland flee north, how could he slaughter all the Xiongnu people?"
