Chapter 270

Xiang Yu was immensely shaken, and finally, he nodded toward Fan Zeng and bowed:

"I shall obey the order of my Father!"

125. Does asking the Snow Woman equal Bai Hu?

On the grasslands!

A nameless pasture!

An unnamed marshland.

This place is roughly a hundred li or so from the Hulun Pasture!

Though it was nighttime, this place was extremely busy-.

All the soldiers were running back and forth along a specific path within the marshland!

And along with their running, tent after tent was being pitched!

Previously, Han Xin's tent had been pitched at a higher elevation!

That place was roughly fifty li from the Hulun Pasture!

It was a good position for attacking the Hulun Pasture!

However... with Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao both poisoned and unconscious.

The great army could no longer continue the offensive.

Instead, it had to shift to defense!

Therefore, the tents began migrating toward the pasture within the marshland!

The great army also had to re-establish camp here!

Moreover, to prevent Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu and Fan Zeng from leading troops to raid the camp!

Therefore... they had to be fast!

Quickly transport the tents!

And set them up even earlier!

And inside a tent that had already been pitched!

Countless wounded were housed here, and several dozen military doctors were also overwhelmed with work!

They bustled about, treating these wounded!

When Ying Su walked in here, instantly, the eyes of every wounded soldier grew blazing hot!

Everyone was immensely excited!

Ying Su!

This was their Emperor!

The Emperor who distributed to them five times more grain and money than other Great Qin soldiers!

That's right!

No mistake!

Five times the grain and money!

The monthly pay of an ordinary Great Qin soldier was no more than twenty coins, but what about them? A hundred coins!

The yearly grain of an ordinary Great Qin soldier was no more than two shi of grain, and that was during wartime!

But... Ying Su, during peacetime, had already given them ten shi of grain!

Ten shi of grain — in any era, that was no small number.

Even in Great Qin, during the military merit system era, that was a figure only a Grand Artisan could receive!

But... during peacetime, Ying Su had already distributed this much grain to them!

Now, in the war to destroy the Xiongnu, he had also given all kinds of subsidies to the campaigning soldiers!

Added to that, all those things Ying Su had done in Xianyang City!

Exempting the common people from three years of taxes, halting the repair of the Great Wall, stopping the construction of the Epang Palace!

And that earth-shaking field tax!

Every single one of these deeds had won Ying Su an immense amount of popular support!

Therefore, the moment many soldiers saw Ying Su, their eyes all reddened!

Everyone was in a state of excitement pushed to the extreme!

Countless wounded soldiers, ignoring their injuries, tried to stand up and bow to Ying Su!

However, Ying Su quickly stopped them, soothing them to recuperate well!

Then, he personally inspected every wounded soldier's injuries, and afterward, urged the military doctors to devote themselves wholeheartedly to treating the Great Qin soldiers, and to absolutely use the best medicinal ingredients!

Moreover, he told the military doctors that if they lacked anything, they should inform him!

He urged them repeatedly, and naturally the military doctors nodded!

And these words nearly moved those wounded soldiers to tears!

This was the Emperor they adored!

It was already more than enough that he had deigned to lower himself and come to the wounded camp to visit the injured soldiers, and yet, he had also issued such an order!

All the soldiers felt tears welling up in their eyes!

At that moment, they looked toward Ying Su, each one clenching their fists, hearts stirred, surging with emotion!

"The New Emperor far surpasses the First Emperor!"

Just as everyone was stirred, surging with emotion, and at that very moment, no one knew who shouted this line!

In that instant, the entire wounded camp exploded!

Everyone began shouting at the top of their lungs: "The New Emperor far surpasses the First Emperor!"

"The new Emperor far surpasses the First Emperor!"

"The new Emperor far surpasses the First Emperor!"

At that moment, the shouts shook the heavens, and every wounded soldier cried out loudly!

And as this sound reached outside the wounded soldiers' camp, instantly, those on guard, those on lookout, and those carrying supplies or patrolling—all of them exploded!

This phrase seemed to possess some magic, directly making every soldier extremely excited!

Afterwards, the slogan "The new Emperor far surpasses the First Emperor" echoed throughout the entire military camp, and then spread across the entire swamp!

"This... this..."

The scene before his eyes left Wang Jian, who had accompanied them, stunned.

For a moment, he actually didn't know what to say!

But at the same time, he also felt a bit of heart-pounding fear!

Before, he had always guessed that this army only obeyed the orders of Han Xin and Ying Su!

But that was merely a guess!

But... now that he sees it, it's confirmed!

Those with absolute control over this army are not just Han Xin; Ying Su is also one!

This is absolutely confirmed!

It's just... their slogan...

The more Wang Jian listened, the more his heart trembled with fear!

And at this moment, Ying Su smiled and looked at Wang Jian, asking:

"Tell me... why do they not shout 'Great Qin for ten thousand years', nor shout 'Your Majesty' for the new Emperor, but insist on shouting 'The new Emperor far surpasses the First Emperor'?"

At that moment, Ying Su asked.

"Ah?"

This question completely stunned Wang Jian!

But at the same time, this was also the point of Wang Jian's confusion!

When soldiers of Great Qin set out on campaign, they would shout "Wind!"

Signifying that this battle would proceed with favorable winds, and also representing a heart certain of victory!

And when facing Ying Zheng, they would also shout "Great Qin for ten thousand years," signifying their determination!

But... these soldiers!

The more Wang Jian looked at this familiar army, the more he felt his scalp prickle with terror!

Why do they not shout "Your Majesty" for the new Emperor, nor shout "Great Qin for ten thousand years," but insist on shouting "The new Emperor far surpasses the First Emperor"!
