Chapter 250

The two of them laughed and chatted as they walked out of the tent, then took the command flag and began to deploy troops!

Han Xin continued shouting: "Zhou Bo, Xia Houying, you two each lead a thousand men, with the same mission as Lu Wan and Fan Kuai: to wave flags and shout, but... your ambush location is nowhere else, but here!"

"Right inside this very camp!"

"Yes!"

The two responded!

Han Xin closed his eyes, continuing to refine his plan in his mind!

Moments later, he looked at Xu Chu and Lu Bu: "Xu Chu, Lu Bu, you each lead five thousand men to ambush in the swamp thirty li east of the tent!"

"When you see the Xiongnu army approaching, ride your chariots and fight to the death; do not let them enter the swamp!"

"If you truly cannot hold them back, you must create the impression that you are fighting desperately and still cannot stop them!"

"Make them feel that once they charge into this swamp, they will be close to catching up with our main army!"

"Yes!"

Both nodded, then left!

Finally, Han Xin looked at Zhou Yafu, Cao Can, the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, Cao Zhengchun, and others!

"You take sixty thousand men and ambush entirely within the swamp!"

"At the same time, prepare grappling hooks, horse lassos, crossbow bolts, chariots, and various other items!"

"If they dare enter the swamp, let them have no return; you must annihilate them completely!"

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed and immediately began preparations!

Finally, Han Xin looked at Ying Su and Wang Jian: "Your Majesty, you and the old General stay together!"

"Likewise, old General, I entrust Your Majesty's safety to you!"

Wang Jian clasped his fists and bowed separately to Ying Su and Han Xin:

"If Wang Jian lives, Your Majesty lives; if Wang Jian dies, please ride my Ma Pi to escape!"

"For Wang Jian to die for Your Majesty is Wang Jian's glory!"

"Hmm!"

Han Xin bowed deeply to Wang Jian, then turned to look at Yao Yue: "Are Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao ready to be moved?"

Yao Yue shook her head:

"Impossible!"

"They need to bleed now; if they move wildly, they will enter a very dangerous state!"

Han Xin said:

"Then you stay here; no matter what happens outside, do not make a sound!"

"Ah?"

"This..."

Yao Yue was stunned!

Wang Jian was stunned too!

Ying Su likewise looked at Han Xin in disbelief!

Damn it, leaving Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, these two so important, right here?

Letting the Xiongnu army pass right by?

If just one Xiongnu soldier pulls open this tent and takes a look, it will all be over!

Even though Yao Yue is a supreme expert and her Bridal Gown Divine Technique is incredibly powerful!

But... no matter how powerful Yao Yue is, she cannot fight hundreds of thousands of soldiers alone like Li Yuanba!

More critically, right now Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba are both completely unconscious; forget about any expert coming!

Even a child could easily kill the two of them!

Ying Su was truly stunned!

Yao Yue felt her scalp go numb too!

Wang Jian growled at Han Xin: "Han Xin... you... you are far too bold!"

His heart pounded with fear!

Having spent so much time with Han Xin, he discovered that when Han Xin is steady, he is truly steady!

Fan Zeng led three hundred thousand men on the Hulun Grassland without lighting fires or cooking, without setting up camp, taunting him for two months, yet managed to draw out absolutely nothing!

But if it comes to wildness, he is truly wild enough!

Just leaving Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, these two so important, right here?

He felt his heart tremble with fear!

Even Ying Su couldn't help swallowing repeatedly!

This... this is truly the Empty Fort Strategy!

But the Empty Fort Strategy in the Romance is fictional!

Moreover, even in the Romance, it required the scheming between Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, plus incredibly complex political factors, plus the coincidence of being soulmates, kindred spirits, and all sorts of messy coincidences, only then could the Empty Fort Strategy succeed!

But right now... Fan Zeng has no political factors!

The two of them are far from being soulmates!

They are all mortal enemies!

Fan Zeng truly wants to kill Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao!

Can this succeed?

Ying Su furrowed his brows fiercely!

And just as he hesitated!

Suddenly, Han Xin bowed deeply to Ying Su:

"Your Majesty, regarding the affairs of the army, please place your complete trust in Han Xin!"

"You, Li Yuanba, Li Cunxiao, Yue, and old General Wang Jian—if even a single one of you suffers the slightest injury, Han Xin will atone with his life!"

Having spoken, he knelt directly on the ground, then drew his sword and severed a lock of his own hair, handing it to Ying Su!

Ying Su took the lock of hair, then nodded:

"Very well!"

"I!"

"And my Jiangshan and the state, I entrust them all to you!"

Having spoken, he departed with Wang Jian, without looking back!

Meanwhile, Han Xin clenched both fists tightly!

In that moment, a single phrase repeated endlessly in his heart:

"A scholar dies for one who understands him; Han Xin is willing to die for the Emperor!"

Having spoken, he roared loudly: "All forces, move out!"

"Retreat!"

118. Fan Zeng: This old man is about to be played to pieces by Han Xin!

Inside Han Xin's military camp!

At this moment, the great army was on the move!

Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Cao Zhengchun, Xia Houying, and Zhou Yafu!

Each carrying Han Xin's general's order, they headed toward their respective locations!

In the blink of an eye, the vast camp stood empty!

At least, on the surface, it appeared empty!

Secretly, two thousand men each led by Zhou Bo and Xia Houying lay in ambush within the tents!

But... how to put it? A camp of one hundred thousand men is simply too large!

So large that accommodating two thousand men leaves almost no trace!

From the outside of the entire encampment, it looked completely like an empty camp!

And within one of the tents inside the empty camp were Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao!

They lay on the bed, a tube inserted into their arms, with endless black blood dripping drop by drop through the tube.
