Chapter 288

It was really unbearable!

Therefore, in his rage, he said those words!

And in fact, Fan Zeng's guess was not wrong at all!

Chanyu Modu's anger at this moment was really intense!

Especially his anger towards this group of Central Plains experts had reached its peak!

Therefore, in his intense rage, he said those words to Fan Zeng!

But the moment he said it, he realized he had said the wrong thing!

He immediately apologized to Fan Zeng, asking Fan Zeng to forgive him!

Fan Zeng waved his hand and said, "It's fine!"

"But we really cannot focus our minds on this group of people!"

"If we spend energy chasing them, we will only be dragged down by them!"

"Once Han Xin's army arrives and we haven't climbed the Snow Mountain, everything will become very dangerous!"

"Only by relying on the Snow Mountain can we successfully block them!"

"So... Chanyu Modu Chanyu, don't worry about it! Retreat!"

Fan Zeng spoke.

Chanyu Modu took deep breaths, gritting his teeth time and time again!

At this moment, he was extremely unwilling!

Fan Zeng thought for a moment and said, "Chanyu Modu Chanyu, if you are really unwilling and want to deal with them, just rushing over like this definitely won't work!"

"They have few people and run fast; as long as we dare to chase, we will definitely be dragged down!"

"How about this, listen to me!"

"Wait patiently, tonight, I will capture them all and present them to the Chanyu Modu Chanyu!"

"Tonight?"

Chanyu Modu looked towards Fan Zeng!

Fan Zeng nodded: "Yes! Tonight!"

"But the Chanyu Modu Chanyu must promise me that after solving this matter, we must leave immediately; we really cannot delay for even a moment now!"

"Okay!"

"As long as you can capture them, we will leave tonight, no delays!"

In the dead of winter, snowflakes drifted down!

On the grassland, the closer they got to the Snow Mountain, the thicker the snow became!

One step down, and it was a deep pit!

Over ten miles away from Chanyu Modu's army.

At this very moment, Xiaoyaozi was leading a large group of experts to hide here!

Many people were secretly counting the ears in their backpacks!

Counting ears?

That's right!

Initially, Han Xin's order was for Fan Kuai and Lu Wan to lead ten thousand people, along with Li Li Cunxiao and Xiaoyaozi, to chase Chanyu Modu!

But... when Chanyu Modu's whereabouts were discovered, Han Xin's order changed!

He let Xiaoyaozi and the others continue to track as the vanguard, leaving marks along the way, while Fan Kuai and the others waited for the main army!

"Why is this?"

Fan Kuai was very confused!

Lu Wan also didn't quite understand why there was such an order!

So, he went back personally to ask.

It turned out that Ying Su had thought about it and ultimately did not trust Xiaoyaozi and his group.

What if they rebelled again and cooperated with Chanyu Modu to kill people?

There were over ten thousand people, even with experts like Qiao Feng, Li Li Cunxiao, and Lu Lu Zhishen!

But no matter what, could they protect over ten thousand people?

Impossible!

Plus, the terrain of the Snow Mountain was complex, and Ying Su was increasingly worried.

Thus, this order was given!

Lu Wan understood Ying Su's meaning!

So after returning to the army camp, he directly arranged for Xiaoyaozi and the others to continue tracking!

The main army stopped!

"Why?"

At first, Xiaoyaozi and his group didn't quite understand.

But Lu Wan shook his head: "You group of people, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid?"

"The reason for this is because of your repeated rebellions, which caused the Emperor to lose trust in you?"

"He is afraid that if the main army is with you, the whole army will be wiped out!"

"Ah?"

Once these words were spoken, a large group of people were shocked, and they all began to ask Lu Wan what they should do!

What exactly should they do to gain the Emperor's trust!

Lu Wan said: "Of course, it's to perform meritorious service!"

"The greater the merit, the more the Emperor will naturally trust you!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up, and for a time, everyone began to ask Lu Wan what exactly they should do to perform meritorious service!

Lu Wan said: "Of course, it's to kill people!"

"The more Xiongnu you kill, the better!"

"Now Chanyu Modu only has ten thousand people; if you can slaughter all these people and then capture Chanyu Modu alive, won't the Emperor trust you?"

"Of course, I also know that capturing Chanyu Modu alive is difficult, but besides capturing Chanyu Modu alive, is there nothing else to do?"

"Have you all forgotten the military merit system of our Great Qin?"

"Go kill people, cut off the right ear of every Xiongnu you kill, and when the time comes, I will petition the Emperor to open the military merit system specifically for you!"

"Kill one person and receive the rank of Gongshi, kill five and receive the rank of Shangzao, kill fifty and receive the rank of Daifu, kill one hundred and receive the rank of Guan Daifu!"

"If you fight hard against the enemy, I will definitely petition for your merits in front of the Emperor!"

"Likewise, only by doing this can you gain the Emperor's trust and be reused in the future!"

"Even if you can't receive a title, it should be no problem for the Emperor to pardon your death sentences!"

"But as far as I know, the Emperor has always been very generous to meritorious officials, especially in terms of money and titles; he has never treated anyone who followed him unfairly!"

"So, follow the Emperor and work hard; in the future, you all have the possibility of becoming nobles of our Great Qin!"

Lu Wan spoke!

And these words made the eyes of a group of experts shine!

Nobles!

How rare is the status of a noble!

First, one needs to be an official in the imperial court!

Second, one needs three generations to serve the imperial court; only then can one be considered to have entered the threshold of nobility!

And how many benefits do nobles have!

Being respected and looked up to, those are just one aspect, they are empty titles!

The real benefit is having your own land, not paying taxes, not paying grain!

Moreover, when the imperial court uses people as officials, they are also drawn from the nobles!

Even if Ying Su is forcing nobles to pay taxes now, but... the benefits inside are still so many!

There is no one in this world who does not hope to become a noble!

Everyone's eyes were shining!

Thus, the scene of counting ears happened!

Everyone was counting ears!
