Chapter 247

That's right!

He wants to kill Meng Wu, kill Meng Tian, and even... Prince Fusu!

Is there any basis for this?

Of course!

Things have reached this point; what other basis do you need?

If Ying Su didn't want to kill them, he wouldn't have responded at all the first time he heard about this!

Even if there was a response, it should have been cutting off supplies, or leaving in anger!

The most furious method should have been sending Li Li Yuanba to bring Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Prince Fusu back directly!

But no matter what, that would still count as giving them a chance!

There would be elements of not wanting to kill them in that!

But what is this now?

This is paving the way to kill them!

After all, whether it's Meng Wu or Meng Tian, they are meritorious officials!

To kill meritorious officials, one must bear the infamy!

What if Ying Su doesn't want to bear this infamy but still wants to kill them?

That's exactly what's happening now!

One edict to mobilize troops, you ignore it.

Two edicts to mobilize troops, you still ignore them!

Three, five edicts, you don't even pay attention!

Finally, the Emperor is forced into a corner!

The Emperor writes to you personally!

To destroy the Xiongnu, I, Ying Su, have gone to such lengths; that's humble enough, right? But you still ignore it.

What to do?

What can be done?

This is damn treason!

Killing you at this time, the people of the world have nothing to say, right!

Even... the whole world will think that such Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Prince Fusu deserve to die!

They don't even listen to the Emperor's edict; can't they be killed?

Everyone in the world will think they deserve to die!

As for Ying Su's letter moving them?

Making them come over?

That would be great!

Destroying the Xiongnu would be faster!

Even... he could directly disperse their armies.

It's not impossible to take away their military power while he's at it!

Without an army, they are nothing!

Afraid of losing their army, so they won't come?

If they don't come, that's the excuse to kill them!

Even... Wang Wang Jian suspects that when Ying Su sent the envoy the first time, he had already planned it this way!

Otherwise, why didn't he even panic when he heard the envoy's report?

Even... Wang Wang Jian guessed that even if they wanted to come!

Ying Su wouldn't let them come!

Because... only by not coming is it a good excuse to kill them!

If they came, how could he kill them?

If he killed them then, Ying Su would definitely bear the infamy of wantonly killing loyal officials?

"Hiss..."

Wang Wang Jian gasped!

At this very moment, he was truly afraid!

Incredibly panicked!

This Ying Su is vicious!

And his methods are ruthless!

But at the same time, he was incredibly fortunate that he didn't casually take sides like Meng Wu and the others!

And even more fortunate that he didn't offend Ying Su to death back then!

If he had really offended Ying Su to death back then, then he...

Wang Wang Jian was incredibly worried, but... at this very moment, he felt there was one more thing he had to do.

That is... he must quickly pull Wang Ben out of this whirlpool!

Even if he had already clearly stated that he was willing to come and destroy the Xiongnu.

But that's not enough!

He must be transferred over!

Let him stay by his side, let him stay by Ying Su's side; that is the safest!

Otherwise, what if Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Prince Fusu win him over and pull him to their side?

He must quickly pull him out!

Wang Wang Jian was incredibly worried!

At night, Ying Su sat by the fire, roasting himself.

And beside him, Xue Nu had a handkerchief stuffed in her mouth, her face pale!

At this moment, she even had the heart to die.

So many days!

For so many days, she had been living an inhuman life here with Ying Su.

She cried bitterly in the middle of the night again and again, and even... went on a hunger strike to seek death again and again!

But... here with Ying Su, she couldn't even die!

The maids watched her every day; if she wanted to go on a hunger strike, the maids would force-feed her!

She didn't even have the chance to bite her tongue and commit suicide!

She was desperate, truly incredibly desperate!

However, compared to her despair, Ying Su was much more at ease.

While roasting by the fire, he enjoyed the maids feeding him wine and food.

Then, he glanced at Xue Nu, hooked her tender face with his finger, and let out a soft laugh!

How should he put it!

He said during the day that he wouldn't play with the White Tiger tonight.

But just as night fell, he had someone bring Xue Nu over.

But... there was no help for it; the White Tiger was too much fun.

If he wanted to play, he played!

He went straight to bed!

However... just as he was about to fall asleep, suddenly, a eunuch reported from outside the tent:

"General Wang Wang Jian requests to see Your Majesty!"

"Wang Wang Jian?"

Ying Su frowned, then let out a soft laugh!

His instinct was to wave his hand and say he wouldn't see him!

But after thinking for a moment, he let him in!

"Old General, is something the matter?"

Ying Su asked!

Wang Wang Jian bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I feel that to destroy the Xiongnu, one hundred thousand troops are not enough. I request the Emperor to issue an edict; since Wang Ben is willing to bring troops over, he should be allowed to bring one hundred and fifty thousand men to the Xiongnu to destroy the thieves!"

He shouted!

This was his intention in coming; he had to pull Wang Ben out of that whirlpool!

However, hearing his words, Ying Su didn't speak, but looked at him with a smile!

Being stared at by Ying Su like this, Wang Wang Jian felt his scalp go numb!

On such a cold day, sweat was actually flowing down his head!

A moment later, Ying Su smiled, helped Wang Wang Jian up, and said:

"Old General should trust Wang Ben!"

"He just doesn't look very shrewd, but he is not a muddled person!"

"This..."

Wang Wang Jian swallowed hard.

Ying Su said: "You have always felt that Uncle Wang Ben is reckless, having only the courage of a brute but no far-reaching strategy!"

"But I remember when I was a child, I once saw Uncle Wang Ben fight; compared to you, he is even more steady!"

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Wang Jian knocked his head hard on the ground!

Ying Su helped him up and asked: "Old General, now, do you think it is better for Wang Ben to stay there, or to come over and fight the Xiongnu?"

Wang Wang Jian kowtowed fiercely: "Everything is as Your Majesty arranges! Wang Wang Jian takes his leave!"

Ying Su nodded: "Hmm!"

He nodded and personally sent Wang Wang Jian out of the camp!

Hulun Grassland!

Inside Chanyu Modu's camp!

Chanyu Modu had already returned!

But... looking at his beard in the bronze mirror, which was a large chunk shorter!

And his head wearing a soldier's hat!

And the soldier's clothes on his body!

Chanyu Modu was so angry he smashed his fist on the table!

Anger!

Furious!

Think of him, Chanyu Modu, since unifying the major tribes of the grassland, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Cutting his beard and abandoning his robe was not enough; even his crown was lost.

His favorite tiger-skin cloak was also gone!

"Humiliation!"

"Humiliation!"

Chanyu Modu roared!

Even recalling the scene from last night, he was trembling with rage!

However, at this moment, Fan Zeng walked in and began to sigh:

"After this disaster, we can't escape!"

"Han Xin is still formidable!"

"To think he could calculate where we would escape from!"

Fan Zeng sighed again and again, and Chanyu Modu said angrily:

"Even if I could run, I don't intend to run anymore!"

"Without avenging this grudge, without killing Li Li Cunxiao with my own hands, I, Chanyu Modu, swear I will not be a man!"

Chanyu Modu was angry to the extreme!

Fan Zeng said:

"But... the marshland is frozen, we have lost all advantages; how are we supposed to fight this battle!"

Chanyu Modu said angrily: "Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death without end!"

"This..."

Fan Zeng sighed.

At this very moment, he wanted to tell Chanyu Modu that this wouldn't work!

With Li Li Yuanba there, it's impossible to win no matter what!

And besides Li Li Yuanba, there is now a Li Li Cunxiao!

Although the Xiongnu army is large, it... is useless!

Without the terrain advantage, they are nothing!

But... with the marshland frozen, he had no better way either!

Li Li Yuanba is too formidable, and Li Li Cunxiao is also too formidable!

Now, they can't escape, so they really have no choice but to fight head-on!

"However... before that, the most important thing is to boost morale; the escape last night dealt a heavy blow to the Xiongnu soldiers' morale!"

"Now, many soldiers are unwilling to participate in the battle!"

"Even more soldiers are showing cowardice!"

"I'm afraid many people won't dare to fight this battle!"

"We must boost morale!"

"If we boost morale, this battle might still be fought; without morale, it's impossible to fight at all!"

"And, this must be done as soon as possible!"

"Ten days, at most ten days, and this marshland will be frozen solid!"

"Han Xin will definitely attack the Hulun Grassland at that time!"

Fan Zeng said while sighing!

And Chanyu Modu took a deep breath, took a deep breath!

Finally, he smashed his fist on the table.

Anger, furious!

134. Ten edicts from the Emperor and they don't accept? Wang Ben's anger! Dare to rebel against my Great Qin?

Outside Yan Sect Pass, wind and snow were falling, and everything was covered in white!

Inside Yan Sect Pass, the cold wind was biting, even more so!

This place was originally Meng Tian's garrison; at first, thirty thousand troops guarded Yan Sect Pass!

Later, because of Xiang Yu's rebellion, Ying Zheng mobilized one hundred thousand men, leaving Prince Fusu with two hundred thousand to guard the Great Wall!

Then, the Xiongnu attacked.

Forcing Prince Fusu to retreat, leaving sixteen thousand of the two hundred thousand to retreat back to Taiyuan!

Later, Li Li Yuanba killed six hundred thousand Xiongnu!

Xiang Yu's four hundred thousand troops were killed by Li Li Yuanba by thirty thousand!

After two hard battles, the Xiongnu retreated back to the grassland, and Xiang Yu fled in a panic with over ten thousand men!

And Meng Tian and Meng Wu's thirty thousand troops received the First Emperor's mobilization order and were transferred to Taiyuan to join forces with Prince Fusu to resist the Xiongnu together!

Taiyuan's original garrison was one hundred thousand, plus the thirty thousand brought back by Meng Wu and Meng Tian, and the sixteen thousand brought back by Prince Fusu after his defeat!

Now, Yan Sect Pass is stationed with a full five hundred and sixty thousand troops!

When Chong Xin arrived here, looking at the incredibly tall city walls and the magnificent Great Wall!

Finally, staring at the garrison in front of him, he was simply so angry he gritted his teeth!

With so many people here, guarding the Great Wall, saying it's to prevent the Xiongnu, but... where are the Xiongnu?

The Xiongnu are on the grassland, being beaten back step by step by Han Xin's one hundred thousand men!

Nowadays, they are even trapped in the Hulun Grassland!
