Chapter 277
Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu had never gone back on his word!
But now... if he did not go back on his word, it would mean abandoning the grasslands!
Leaving this native land!
After pondering and hesitating for a long time, he finally slapped the table and said to Fan Zeng:
"I... I cannot accept this!"
"Oh!"
Fan Zeng nodded!
Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu roared, "I truly cannot accept this!"
"Heh!"
Fan Zeng smiled but said nothing!
Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu said:
"Now, Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao should not have awakened yet, and we have four hundred thousand soldiers. Let us take this opportunity and fight one more time!"
"Heh!"
Fan Zeng sneered coldly and continued to say nothing!
Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu grew desperate and grabbed Fan Zeng's hand:
"Mr., Mr., let us fight one more battle!"
"Otherwise, I truly cannot accept this!"
"This is my native land!"
"This is the grassland I unified with my entire life!"
"Over four million grassland people still live here!"
"How can I abandon my native land and abandon them!"
Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu shouted, extremely unwilling to accept it!
Fan Zeng sighed, "I know you cannot accept it, but the consequences of your unwillingness are too heavy; I fear you cannot bear them!"
"However... it is up to you!"
"I have come to bid you farewell!"
"What?"
The moment the words left his mouth, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu was stunned.
He looked at Fan Zeng with a face full of shock, utterly incredulous: "Why?"
"Why indeed!"
His scalp went numb!
Fan Zeng said:
"I am originally from the Central Plains. When Yu'er was about to come here, I was strongly opposed, but in the end, I could not rest easy worrying about him, so I came to the grasslands!"
"I originally thought that killing Li Yuanba would be the end!"
"But I did not expect this Li Yuanba to be so difficult to kill!"
"And the last battle left me utterly despairing!"
"You cannot kill this Li Yuanba!"
"If you cannot kill him, you cannot defeat Han Xin!"
"Therefore, this battle is destined to be lost!"
"And since it is destined to be lost, and there is nothing more I can do, why should I stay here?"
"I am leaving!"
"The Xiongnu of the Central Plains are eternal enemies, even mortal enemies; there is no possibility of reconciliation!"
"Moreover, do not think I do not know what you intend to do!"
"After defeating Han Xin, what will you do?"
"You will invade the Central Plains, enslave the Central Plains, eat the flesh of our Central Plains people, and drink the blood of our Central Plains people!"
"Even if I, Fan Zeng, am a rascal, I cannot possibly invite a wolf into the house like this!"
"Therefore, this battle ends here!"
"If you listen to me, you can still preserve a spark for your Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu people will not all perish!"
"If you do not listen to me and stubbornly insist on continuing to fight, the result will be only one thing: self-destruction!"
"The Jibei Snow Mountain is the burial ground for all Xiongnu people!"
After finishing his speech, he stood up directly:
"Yu'er, let us go!"
"Stop!"
Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu shouted!
He grabbed Fan Zeng's arm: "Mr., do not leave like this!"
"Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu apologizes to Mr. for his previous arrogance, and only begs Mr. not to leave Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu!"
"Moreover, I promise that as long as Mr. can help my grasslands survive this crisis, I, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu, will leave a will stating that all my descendants shall never attack the Central Plains!"
"Mr., do not go! Do not go!"
He shouted, clutching Fan Zeng's arm tightly, and even knelt on one knee!
And Fan Zeng frowned, frowning deeply!
Finally, he sighed lightly and said to Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu:
"Withdraw the troops!"
"Withdraw the troops immediately!"
"Go!"
On the other side!
Inside Facing Ying Su's tent!
At this very moment, everyone was discussing how to attack Hulun Pasture and conquer this place.
Moreover, to devour all of Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's newly arrived four hundred thousand men!
In fact, according to Fan Kuai's suggestion, this matter meant sending Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao to charge straight in!
What place could stop those two?
But... the moment Fan Kuai spoke these words, he was angrily rebuked by Wang Jian:
"Let alone that Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba have not yet recovered; even if they had, we cannot let those two attack Hulun Pasture!"
"Uh..."
The words had barely left his lips when Fan Kuai was stunned!
Wang Jian said: "Hulun Pasture is different from other places!"
"Hulun Pasture is a grassland covered by swamps!"
"And this swamp is vast, covering a full hundred li!"
"With such a huge area, even if ten thousand troops spent a month scouting, it would be impossible to mark every single swamp!"
"Even to open a passage would require ten thousand men to slowly probe the way!"
"In such a vast place, if Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao rashly enter, they will easily fall into an ambush; moreover, poison is used as support!"
"If Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao are sent in again, the outcome will be no different from last time!"
"Poisoned!"
"Last time, the poison was cured by the experts Your Majesty brought; what about this time?"
"It won't work!"
"It is too dangerous!"
He spoke these words aloud!
And Facing Ying Su agreed with this view!
He thought for a moment, then turned to Wang Jian and said: "Then surround them, cut off their supply lines, and starve them to death!"
Wang Jian bowed to Facing Ying Su and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"I was just about to propose this very method!"
"Send five thousand men each in the eight directions: east, west, south, north, southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest!"
