"What the hell are you talking about!"

"And you claim to be fighting against Han Xin's army?"

At that moment, as Fan Zeng spoke, he had started by merely saying it, but by the end, he was completely roaring!

Roar after roar reached the ears of every Xiongnu soldier present!

At that moment, everyone's eyes turned blood-red!

Moreover, Xiongnu generals one by one drew their swords and advanced threateningly toward Fan Zeng!

Even Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu looked at Fan Zeng, fire blazing in his eyes as well!

We know you are trying to boost morale!

To ignite the fighting spirit of the soldiers!

But... but... your words are far too ruthless!

So ruthless that even I, Chanyu Modu, want to slaughter you, you son of a bitch!

You must know, the Xiongnu are not like the people of the Central Plains!

The people of the Central Plains admire very complex figures!

For instance, those with high rank and great power, or nobles!

Or capable men skilled in governing the state!

Or perhaps fierce men who excel at schemes and treachery!

For example, Shang Yang, Zhang Yi!

Or again, Confucius, Mencius, Zhuangzi, Sun Bin, Wu Qi, Pang Juan, Zhou Gongdan, Wei Wei Wuji, and others!

These people are a mixed bag; some can fight, while others possess deep strategic minds!

But the Xiongnu are different; the Xiongnu admire only one thing!

The ability to fight!

Whoever can fight is the one they admire!

Furthermore, the Xiongnu value bloodthirstiness above all else!

Now... Fan Zeng's words were like a knife, stabbing viciously into the Xiongnu's hearts!

How could this not make people furious?

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu was truly so angry his lungs felt ready to explode!

Yet he remained calm enough to forcibly suppress the urge to draw the sword in his hand.

Then, with blood-red eyes, he looked at all the Xiongnu soldiers and generals behind him and shouted loudly:

"Being insulted so badly by a man of the Central Plains, who calls us Xiongnu cowards and deathly afraid, do you accept this?"

"We do not accept it!"

"We do not accept it!"

"We do not accept it!"

At that moment, all the Xiongnu were roaring!

All the Xiongnu were shouting loudly!

Everyone was furious to the extreme!

They were truly so enraged by Fan Zeng's words that their whole bodies trembled and shook!

Seeing this scene, Chanyu Modu immediately began to roar: "Then what about us? What should we do if we do not accept it?"

"How can we prove that this man of the Central Plains is talking nonsense!"

A Xiongnu general began to shout: "Kill all the two-legged sheep of the Central Plains!"

"Kill all the two-legged sheep of the Central Plains!"

"Enslave their men, eat their women!"

"Enslave their men, eat their women!"

"Kill all the two-legged sheep of the Central Plains!"

At this very moment, countless Xiongnu soldiers were shouting.

Countless Xiongnu soldiers were roaring!

Then, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu shouted loudly: "Charge into the swamp, slaughter the two-legged sheep of the Central Plains!"

"Slaughter the two-legged sheep of the Central Plains!"

"Slaughter the two-legged sheep of the Central Plains!"

At that moment, everyone shouted, and everyone's momentum was overwhelming!

Just like that, everyone followed Chanyu Modu and charged toward the direction of the swamp!

And at the very rear of the great army, a large group of experts from the Central Plains followed closely.

They said nothing, merely marching silently!

And at the very back of this group, Gai Nie grabbed Weizhuang, turned to him, and asked: "What are we doing?"

Weizhuang glanced at him, looking at him in confusion!

Gai Nie roared: "Did you not hear what they are shouting?"

"Enslave their men, eat their women!"

"Slaughter the two-legged sheep of the Central Plains!"

"What are we doing!"

"What exactly are we doing right now?"

Gai Nie's body was trembling!

At that moment, his gaze, bloodshot, fixed on Weizhuang!

Weizhuang's brows furrowed fiercely; finally, he waved his hand violently: "I will not forget Han Fei's death, nor will I forget the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Tyrant Qin!"

"Kill Li Yuanba!"

"Overthrow the Tyrant Qin!"

At that moment, accompanied by his low roar, somehow, all the experts in the Central Plains began shouting:

"Kill Li Yuanba, overthrow the Tyrant Qin!"

"Kill Li Yuanba, overthrow the Tyrant Qin!"

At that moment, the crowd shouted until their voices broke!

Everyone charged toward the swamp!

And inside the tent!

Zhou Bo and Xia Houying, along with the soldiers beside them, heard these slogans with their own ears; at that moment, they were simply so angry they trembled all over!

Although the Five Barbarians' chaos had not yet occurred, although the Jingkang humiliation had not yet happened!

The hatred of the Central Plains people toward these foreign tribes was still far from that deep!

But... hearing about the men who enslaved them, the women they ate, and the slaughter of the Central Plains' two-legged sheep still made people furious!

Because... these things were already happening.

Along the Great Qin's border passes, supplies and people from the Central Plains were frequently plundered by the Xiongnu.

And after these Central Plains commoners were plundered by them, the men were truly enslaved, and the women were truly violated!

Once they were violated enough and tired of playing, they were killed directly, treated like cattle and sheep, roasted over a fire, and eaten!

Moreover, these beasts even divided the women of the Central Plains into several grades!

First-grade meat was that of young children; their flesh was the most tender, reserved exclusively for the tribal chieftains on the grasslands!

Second-grade meat was that of young maidens; they could not only be played with but also eaten, and moreover, were incredibly delicious, reserved only for the nobility on the grasslands!

Third-grade meat was that of women over twenty-five or twenty-six years old; although their flesh was not as delicious and they did not look as beautiful, they could still be used to reward generals, ministers, and soldiers.

As for women over thirty years old, unless they possessed exceptional beauty, the Xiongnu would not even glance at them, killing them directly with a single blade!

Their flesh was not even eaten!

Because... it was a bit too tough!

Although all this was well known to later generations, and its large-scale occurrence began only after the Five Barbarians' chaos!

But... before the Five Barbarians' chaos!

Before the Qin and Han!

During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, during the Xia, Shang, and Zhou periods, these things had already begun to appear!

And they were recorded in historical materials!
