Chapter 244

"If we charge directly, we will have to face Li Li Yuanba!"

"If we break out from the due south, that would mean a head-on collision with our main army!"

"Currently, they can only break out from the southwest or charge directly to the north!"

"However, no matter which direction they choose, we have already blocked them off!"

"The Xiongnu army is now completely trapped in the Hulun Grasslands; there is no way they can run out!"

"Now, all we need to do is wait!"

"Wait ten days or half a month, until the marshland is completely frozen, and then... this battle of annihilation can begin!"

"All of Chanyu Modu's troops will be slaughtered by us like pigs!"

At that moment, Han Xin and Wang Wang Jian reported one after another, joy appearing on their faces!

As long as Chanyu Modu's four hundred thousand troops are annihilated, then... this war will be as good as over.

After all... the Tuermuhe has been cut off, so... a large area of Xiongnu people will have no choice but to migrate north.

Next, we will follow the same pattern, just like driving ducks, and continue to cut off the rivers!

Chasing them all the way to the north!

And then, launch a decisive battle over by the Great Snow Mountain and wipe out the Xiongnu!

In this way, the plan to destroy the Xiongnu will be completely fulfilled!

Ying Su nodded as he listened!

He was also very happy about all of this!

And it was at this moment that Han Xin bowed to Ying Su:

"Last night, Li Li Yuanba killed over thirty thousand people!"

"Li Li Cunxiao and Fan Kuai killed over eighty thousand people!"

"In this one battle alone, we annihilated one hundred and ten thousand enemy troops!"

"Currently, Chanyu Modu has at most three hundred thousand men left!"

At that moment, Han Xin spoke; these words were undoubtedly meant to claim credit for the three of them!

But in Wang Wang Jian's eyes, this was a taboo!

Regardless of anything else, Li Li Cunxiao and Li Li Yuanba were Ying Su's men; didn't Ying Su know whether they should be rewarded or not?

Did he need Han Xin to say it?

Overstepping!

This is a grave offense before anyone!

Even if the First Emperor were as magnanimous as could be, he could not tolerate such behavior!

If it were him, Wang Wang Jian, he definitely wouldn't say it like that!

Instead, he would praise Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao in private, complimenting their bravery and mentioning how many they had killed!

This way, he would have stated their merits without making Ying Su suspect that he, the Grand General, had the intention of winning over people's hearts!

Like Han Xin, if Ying Su rewarded these two, who should they be grateful to?

Grateful to Han Xin? Or to Ying Su?

This kind of thing is truly a taboo!

Especially for a general leading troops in war, it is the greatest taboo!

However... this taboo simply did not exist with Ying Su!

What Li Li Cunxiao, Li Li Yuanba, or Han Xin!

They were all people who were infinitely loyal to Ying Su.

To Ying Su, they were completely his own people!

And in front of his own people, Ying Su couldn't be bothered with those messy things.

He nodded directly toward Li Li Yuanba:

"I remember that during the battle in the Hulun Grassland marshland, your hammers were lost, right!"

Ying Su asked, and Li Li Yuanba was stunned!

Afterwards, he sighed!

At that time, he had been poisoned, and Qiao Feng had risked his life to save him; at such a critical moment, how could he care about his weapons!

Therefore, that pair of hammers was lost!

Ying Su tilted his head toward Chong Xin!

Instantly, Chong Xin ran out.

Not long after, Chong Xin returned!

And this time, following behind him were over thirty people!

They were in groups of fifteen, each carrying a massive iron chest!

And the moment this iron chest was opened.

Instantly, everyone was stunned!

Because... inside were actually two hammers!

They were different from Li Li Yuanba's previous Drum-Beating Urn-Gold Hammers!

These were two mace-style heavy hammers!

And just by taking one look at these hammers, Li Li Yuanba's eyes lit up.

At that moment, he stroked the two hammers with immense affection!

Then, with a surge of strength in his hands, he lifted a hammer that required fifteen people to carry with just one hand!

Ying Su said: "When I came over, I specifically had Cai Lun forge these!"

"The inside is cast with molten iron into a steel core, and finally, wrapped in copper skin!"

"The spikes on them are also made of steel cores!"

"They are a size larger than your original hammers, and also a bit heavier!"

"Before, each was four hundred jin; now, each is six hundred jin!"

"Added together, the two weigh a total of twelve hundred jin!"

Ying Su spoke, and the moment these words were uttered, Li Li Yuanba was completely excited!

He grabbed the pair of hammers and smashed them fiercely into the ground!

Boom!

A loud noise!

The earth collapsed directly!

A large pit appeared before everyone's eyes!

This scene simply shocked everyone!

Ying Su looked at Li Li Cunxiao again, pondered for a long time, and sighed: "I have nothing good to reward you with. What you lack now is actually a mount, but a mount is... hard to find! Wait until later; when I find one, I will give it to you. At the very least, it will allow you and your weapon to ride it together!"

"Understood!"

Li Li Cunxiao nodded while looking at Li Li Yuanba's Wanli Wanli Yanyunzhao!

To be honest, he was a little envious!

If he had been riding that thing last night to chase Chanyu Modu, would he have been able to run away?

Sigh!

He sighed!

And Ying Su looked toward Fan Kuai!

But before he could speak, Lu Wan spoke up: "Your Majesty, Fan Kuai... Fan Kuai doesn't need to be rewarded, right!"

As soon as he said this, Zhou Bo, Cao Can, Xia Xia Houying, and the whole group nodded!

Their behavior made Fan Kuai unhappy on the spot!

"What's the matter, why shouldn't I be rewarded?"

Lu Wan opened his mouth and cursed: "Bah! You think you're worthy?"

"The Grand General said you and our Brother Xiao killed eighty thousand people together, and you actually have the nerve to shamelessly take credit!"

"Do you think we really don't know what happened?"

"Damn it, before when you followed Brother Ba into the marshland, afterwards, you were bragging in front of us every day about how you and Brother Ba killed fifty thousand people together!"

"Bragging about how fierce you were!"
