Chapter 286

Later on, when the Han Dynasty fell and the Jin Dynasty weakened, hundreds of years ago, those grassland civilians who had been spared began to bite back at the Central Plains!

This led to the tragic Five Barbarians' Uprising in history!

After invading the Central Plains, they directly restored the cruel nature of the Xiongnu.

The term "two-legged sheep" was once again pinned on the Han people!

Men were killed directly, and women were used for pleasure!

Under various abuses and massacres, the original twenty million Han people of the Western Jin Dynasty were killed until only five million remained!

During the most cruel stage of the massacre, the vast Han ethnic group was killed until there were not even one million people left!

The entire Central Plains continent truly achieved a state where there was not a single household for ten miles, and not a single village for a hundred miles!

This was simply taking cruelty to the extreme!

Later, during the Jingkang Incident, the empresses and princesses were led by ropes like dogs by the grassland people!

And later, when Chongzhen killed Yuan Yuan Chonghuan, leading to the Manchu Qing entering the pass, which caused the Ten Days of Yangzhou!

Although it is a bit unreasonable to force all of this onto the head of Emperor Wu of Han!

But if Emperor Wu of Han could have been a little more ruthless back then and really could have killed all the Xiongnu in a tragic massacre, it is very likely that those things would not have happened.

But no matter what Emperor Wu of Han did, the current Ying Su is going to do this act of extermination!

He is going to kill all the Xiongnu!

Men, women, old, and young, not one left!

Ying Su was thinking in his heart, and over there, Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao were also killing frantically!

Han Xin, Wang Wang Jian, and all the Qin soldiers were also killing frantically!

Even though they were facing unarmed civilians, even though they were facing some old, weak, women, and children, there was not the slightest sign of hesitation in the slaughter!

Why?

Because... they knew the cruelty of the Xiongnu even better than Zhang Liang and Ying Su!

After all, the cruelty of the Xiongnu that Zhang Liang and Ying Su knew was only through written descriptions or verbal reports!

But... they had seen this scene with their own eyes!

Wang Wang Jian would not forget the cruel scene he saw when he and Han Xin conquered a Xiongnu pasture.

In the freezing cold weather, Central Plains men were naked, tied to the side of a cattle shed like dogs, used to guard the sheep!

When they walked into the tent, they were making a fire to roast meat. Fan Kuai, who had been hungry for several days, originally wanted to eat this meat, but was kicked away by Lu Wan!

He pointed directly to the corpses in the corner, where there were decomposed bodies, and a woman's head was placed in a boiling pot, as if it were being dehaired!

This scene terrified Fan Kuai, and afterwards, he was furious, hacking the tent to pieces with his sword!

From then on, every time he saw a Xiongnu, he would kill them frantically!

All of this was witnessed by Wang Wang Jian and Han Xin, so they never felt that such a massacre of Xiongnu civilians was cruel!

At the very least, that is how they treated the Central Plains people!

Moreover, this was not an isolated case, but the vast majority of Xiongnu did this!

They even took this as a habit!

If any Xiongnu treated the plundered Central Plains people well, they would be despised by all other Xiongnu!

So, what else is there to say?

Kill them!

The Qin Army's butcher knives were waving!

Li Li Yuanba's hammers were smashing fiercely, and Li Li Cunxiao's Yu King Spear was also dancing up and down!

After a full day and night, finally, the Xiongnu in this area of tents were killed off.

As for whether any escaped, there probably were!

After all, there were over a million people; how could they kill them all?

However, in this area, as far as the eye could see, there was not a single Xiongnu left standing.

Likewise, the ground for over ten miles around was dyed bright red by the slaughter!

As for blood flowing like a river?

That didn't happen!

The main reason was winter!

Winter on the grasslands is exceptionally cold!

It was almost cold enough to freeze water into ice!

The blood of these people was also frozen!

As for these bones...

No one cared; either they were fed to the wolf packs on the grassland, or they were left here...

Anyway, no one would care!

At this moment, the army set up camp, and after resting for two days, they continued their journey!

Crossing the Mount Langjuxu Mountain, then heading north, towards the Great Snow Mountain!

On the north side of Mount Langjuxu Mountain!

This place was only over three hundred miles away from the Snow Mountain!

Likewise, the snow here was even heavier!

Chanyu Modu, Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu, Wei Zhuang, Ge Nie, and many, many others were all moving towards the Great Snow Mountain!

On this journey, Chanyu Modu could be said to be withered to the extreme!

In that battle, out of over three hundred thousand people, fewer than twenty thousand escaped!

How tragic, how sorrowful!

But what made him even more uncomfortable was having to leave the grassland.

Crossing the Snow Mountain, and then, taking all the Xiongnu people to migrate!

Migrating to the Roman Empire, which was nearly ten thousand miles away, to plunder there and preserve the seeds of the Xiongnu!

"Sigh!"

On this journey, Chanyu Modu sighed constantly!

At this very moment, he couldn't help but think time and time again, if he had taken everyone to abandon the grassland early on, how good that would have been!

If that were the case, so many people wouldn't have died, right?

He thought about it time and time again, and regretted it time and time again!

He even complained to Fan Zeng time and time again, expressing his regret!

Fan Zeng waved his hand and said, "This is correct!"

"Why?"

Chanyu Modu did not understand!

Fan Zeng said, "If no one had blocked Han Xin, then Han Xin's cutting off of the river would have had no resistance, and his speed would only have been faster!"

"In that case, how could the Xiongnu have all retreated?"

"They would inevitably have killed more Xiongnu!"

"And it was precisely because we delayed Han Xin for more than two months at the Hulun Pasture that we bought time for many Xiongnu to retreat!"

"Now, there should be over two million people who have reached the Snow Mountain!"

"There should also be over a million people still on the road!"

"Once these people have all crossed the Snow Mountain, we can preserve our strength and leave behind seeds by plundering Rome!"

"When Li Li Yuanba, Li Li Cunxiao, and Ying Su and the others have all died, we will return to destroy Great Qin and then take our revenge!"

He spoke, and after these words were spoken, Chanyu Modu's eyes couldn't help but light up!

Finally, he nodded to Fan Zeng and said, "You are right!"

However, not long after their conversation ended, suddenly, a fast horse came chasing after Chanyu Modu from behind:

"Chanyu Modu Chanyu, it's bad, it's bad, some civilians who escaped said that the over one million Xiongnu behind us were killed by Han Xin's army!"

"What?"

Once these words were spoken, Chanyu Modu's eyes widened, and he looked at the Xiongnu soldier in front of him in disbelief: "You... what did you say? Say it again?"

That soldier began to cry, and at the same time, brought over some Xiongnu civilians who had escaped!

And the moment they saw Chanyu Modu, that Xiongnu civilian cried:

"Chanyu Modu Chanyu! Chanyu Modu Chanyu!"
