Chapter 240

A fire light shot into the sky, and then, with a bang, a firework exploded in the sky!

"This... what is this?"

At that moment, many Xiongnu soldiers were stunned!

Even many Qin soldiers were confused!

But Fan Kuai smiled and explained to the soldiers beside him: "This thing is called a signal flare, it's the same principle as our cannons, but I don't call it a signal flare!"

"But... summoning Brother Ba!"

"Summoning Brother Ba?"

"What does that mean?"

Everyone was still confused, but at this moment, suddenly, a black lightning bolt streaked past many people!

Just as everyone was horrified, the Xiongnu army over there had already let out screams!

Li Li Yuanba!

He just held his hammer and killed toward this army of twenty thousand!

Half an hour later, when Fan Kuai arrived here, this place was already full of bones.

Everyone died a miserable death!

"This... Brother Ba... is so fierce!"

"So fierce, Brother Ba!"

Fan Kuai was incredibly excited!

That's right!

This was exactly Han Xin's arrangement!

Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, and Xia Xia Houying were patrolling everywhere.

Once they discovered the figure of the Xiongnu army, they would fire a signal flare!

And as for Li Li Yuanba, he had Wanli Wanli Yanyunzhao!

Ten thousand miles a day, eight thousand miles a night!

This speed was simply too fast!

For ordinary horses, the distance that would take a day, he only needed less than half a quarter of an hour!

Therefore, he was in a position relatively close to the five armies of the five people!

No matter which side's signal flare lit up, he would ride Wanli Wanli Yanyunzhao to support them immediately!

Every time he thought of all this, Fan Kuai was truly excited to the extreme.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Li Li Yuanba was almost worshipful!

However, before he could worship for long, suddenly, in the south, another fire light lit up!

"This... is this Lu Wan's side?"

Fan Kuai was shocked.

But before he could react, Li Li Yuanba had already ridden Wanli Wanli Yanyunzhao again!

A steed, like lightning in the dark night.

In just a blink of an eye, it had disappeared in front of Fan Kuai.

Obviously, he had gone to Lu Wan's side in the south!

But...

On the east side!

Chanyu Modu and Fan Zeng were leading one hundred thousand men, fleeing toward this side!

Seeing the red light suddenly lighting up above their heads, although Chanyu Modu didn't know what this was at all!

But... the moment he saw this thing, he had an inexplicable sense of panic!

"Fan Zeng, how do you think these fifty thousand troops are doing now?"

Chanyu Modu asked.

If he hadn't seen the red light, Fan Zeng would definitely have told Chanyu Modu that the two sides must be fighting together.

But no matter what, one side must be in a stalemate.

Because... even if Li Li Yuanba's speed was fast, he didn't have a precognition function!

He couldn't know in advance which side was fighting!

So, these people must be able to attract Han Xin's attention.

And then, gather all the troops to these two sides!

All of this was already in his calculations!

But... the moment he saw the red light, Fan Zeng was confused, his heart began to beat wildly, and he had an extremely bad feeling!

But now, he couldn't care about so much. Since they decided to leave, they had to leave quickly, otherwise, it would be difficult to leave again!

At that moment, he bowed to Chanyu Modu: "The fifty thousand troops should be able to hold Han Xin for a while, but no matter what, we must get past here quickly!"

"Thirty miles ahead, we will reach the Tuermu Bridge!"

"Cross this bridge, and it will be a vast, open area, and then, we will be safe!"

"I will see you across this bridge, and then I will go back to deal with those Central Plains experts!"

Chanyu Modu asked: "How do you plan to deal with them?"

Fan Zeng said: "I originally planned to use the waste, let them help the two hundred and seventy thousand army escape, but... these people are Central Plains people after all. Tell them the truth, let them do as they please. Those who are willing to stay, let them stay; those who are not willing, let them go!"

Chanyu Modu thought for a moment and said: "Can't we take them all? Let them follow and plunder the Roman Empire together!"

Fan Zeng frowned: "These people... are not people who can be of great use!"

Chanyu Modu sighed: "But... these people, each of them can read and write, and they have various strange skills. If our grassland people learn their skills... then..."

As he spoke, his eyes lit up!

Fan Zeng took a deep breath. At this moment, looking at Chanyu Modu, he felt shocked!

It was hard to imagine what kind of courage this grassland person, who didn't read Central Plains books and didn't know Central Plains characters, had to actually want the grassland people to learn these things from the Central Plains!

Chanyu Modu said:

"You might not know, I admire your Central Plains' Zhou Zhou Gongdan, and Lord Lord Xinling Wei Wei Wuji! And Guan Zhong, Bao Bao Shuya, and others!"

"These people make me admire them immensely!"

"Especially Zhou Zhou Gongdan, abolishing human sacrifice—just this one thing distinguished your Central Plains people from our grassland people!"

"Before abolishing human sacrifice, your Central Plains were no different from us, all tribes! Compared to the major tribes of our grassland, you were just a slightly stronger tribe!"

"But... after abolishing human sacrifice, your Central Plains directly became a civilization!"

"And we grassland people, even now, are still barbaric tribes!"

"This makes me heartbroken!"

He sighed, while Fan Zeng gulped hard again.

At this moment, he had a feeling of panic!

Chanyu Modu continued:

"Some time ago, I asked you, are all you Central Plains people so cunning?"

"You didn't answer me at the time, but after being in contact with you Central Plains people for so many days, I discovered a problem!"

"That is, the more people have read, the more cunning they are, and the more people have read, the more cunning they are. For example, you, you have read so many books, you are cunning beyond words!"

"On the other hand, Dian Qing, Wushuang Gui, and others, they don't even know characters, so they are just like the vast majority of grassland people, honest and simple!"

"So, tell me, is the cunning of Central Plains people related to reading?"

Fan Zeng closed his eyes and sighed: "Yes!"

"But not entirely!"

"Oh?"

Chanyu Modu looked at Fan Zeng confusedly!

Fan Zeng said: "Things are divided into good and bad, and people are also divided into superior and inferior!"

"If you compare a person to iron, then books are the furnace, the oil pan, and the whetstone. A good piece of iron, after being quenched in the furnace, tempered in the oil pan, and polished by the whetstone, will become an unparalleled divine weapon!"

"Just like you, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu! Although you haven't read many books and know less than a hundred characters in total, your wisdom is rare in the world! Unifying the grassland that had been divided for two thousand years is also a great achievement!"

"Your wisdom and strategy are extraordinary!"

"Therefore, books are good things for you, they are great tonics, and will make this sharp treasure sword of yours even sharper, until it is unstoppable!"

"And if it is a piece of scrap iron, then no matter how you quench and polish it, it will eventually be unable to escape its scrap iron nature, and will even be refined into residue!"
