Chapter 290

"If we charge directly, we will have to face Li Yuanba!"

"If we break out from the south, we will have to engage our main army in a head-on clash!"

"At present, they can only head southwest or charge straight north!"

"However, no matter which direction, we have already blocked them off!"

"The Xiongnu army is now completely trapped in the Hulun Grassland; there is absolutely no way for them to escape!"

"Now, we only need to wait!"

"Wait ten days or half a month until the swamp is completely frozen over, then... this war of annihilation can begin immediately!"

"All of Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's troops will be slaughtered by us like pigs!"

At that moment, Han Xin and Wang Jian reported one after another, and joy appeared on their faces!

As long as we annihilate Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's four hundred thousand troops, then... this battle will be nearly over.

After all... since the Tuermuhe River has been cut off, a vast area of Xiongnu people can only migrate northward.

Next, we will do the same again, just like herding ducks, and continue to cut off the rivers!

Chase all the way north!

And then, launch a major decision directly at the Great Snow Mountain and kill all the Xiongnu people!

In this way, the plan to destroy the Xiongnu will be completely accomplished!

Facing Ying Su nodded while listening!

Regarding all this, he was also very happy!

And just at that moment, Han Xin bowed to Facing Ying Su:

"Last night, Li Yuanba killed more than thirty thousand people!"

"Li Cunxiao and Fan Kuai together killed more than eighty thousand people!"

"With this single battle alone, we annihilated one hundred and ten thousand enemy troops!"

"At present, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu has at most only three hundred thousand people left!"

At that moment, Han Xin spoke these words, which were undoubtedly requesting recognition for merit for the three of them!

And in Wang Jian's eyes, his behavior was taboo!

No matter what, Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba are Facing Ying Su's people; doesn't Facing Ying Su know whether they should be rewarded or not?

What need is there for you, Han Xin, to say it?

Overstepping!

This is a great crime in front of anyone!

Even someone as magnanimous as the First Emperor could not tolerate such behavior!

If it were Wang Jian, he would definitely not say this!

Instead, he would privately praise Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, commend their bravery, and say how many people they killed!

This way, the merits of both men would be made known, yet Facing Ying Su would not suspect this Grand General of trying to win people's loyalty!

With Han Xin's approach, if Facing Ying Su rewards these two, to whom should these two be grateful?

Grateful to Han Xin? Or to Facing Ying Su?

Such things are truly taboo!

Especially for generals who lead troops in battle, it is the most taboo!

However... this taboo does not exist at all on Facing Ying Su's side!

What Li Cunxiao, what Li Yuanba, what Han Xin!

They are all people who are infinitely loyal to Facing Ying Su.

To Facing Ying Su, they are completely his own people!

And in front of his own people, Facing Ying Su is too lazy to play with all that messy stuff.

He simply nodded directly at Li Yuanba:

"I remember that during the battle in the Hulun Grassland swamp, your hammer was lost, right!"

Facing Ying Su asked, and Li Yuanba was stunned!

Then, he sighed!

At that time, he was poisoned; Qiao Feng risked his life to save him, and at such a critical moment, how could he have cared about weapons!

So, that pair of hammers was lost!

Facing Ying Su tilted his head toward Chong Xin!

Instantly, Chong Xin ran out.

Not long after, Chong Xin returned!

And this time, following behind him were more than thirty people!

They were in groups of fifteen, each group carrying a huge iron box!

And the moment this iron box was opened.

Instantly, everyone was stunned!

Because... inside were actually two hammers!

Different from Li Yuanba's previous Drum-Beating Jar-Golden Hammer!

These were two heavy wolf-tooth weapons!

And with just one glance at these hammers, Li Yuanba's eyes lit up.

At that moment, he caressed the two hammers with immense affection!

Then, with a single force of both hands, a hammer that required fifteen people to lift was actually lifted by him with one hand!

Facing Ying Su said, "I had Cai Lun forge this especially when I arrived!"

"Inside, molten iron was cast into a steel core, and finally, wrapped in copper skin!"

"The spikes on this are also made of the steel core!"

"It's a size larger than your original hammer, and also heavier!"

"Before, one was four hundred jin; now, one is six hundred jin!"

"Together, the two make a total of twelve hundred jin!"

As Facing Ying Su spoke these words, in that instant, Li Yuanba became entirely excited!

He grabbed the pair of hammers and smashed one straight down onto the ground with a fierce blow!

Boom!

A deafening roar!

The earth collapsed directly!

A huge pit appeared right before everyone's eyes!

This scene left everyone utterly stunned!

Facing Ying Su looked again at Li Cunxiao, pondered for a long time, sighed, and said, "I have nothing good to reward you with. What you lack right now is actually a mount, but a mount is... hard to find! Wait until later; later, when I find one, I will give it to you, at least so you and your weapon can ride it together!"

"Alright!"

Li Cunxiao nodded while looking over at Li Yuanba's Wanli Yanyun Zhao!

To be honest, he was a bit envious!

If he had ridden this thing to chase Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu last night, could he have let him escape?

Sigh!

He let out a sigh!

And Facing Ying Su turned to look at Fan Kuai!

But before he could speak, Lu Wan opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, Fan Kuai... Fan Kuai doesn't need a reward, right?"

As soon as he said this, Zhou Bo, Cao Can, Xia Houying, and the rest of the group all nodded!

Their behavior right then made Fan Kuai unhappy on the spot!

"What's the deal? Why shouldn't I get a reward?"

Lu Wan spat out in anger: "Pah! Do you even deserve it?"

"The Grand General said you and our Brother Xiao killed eighty thousand people together, and you actually dare to stick your face up there and claim it?"

"Do you think we really don't know what happened?"

"Damn it, earlier you followed Brother Ba into the swamp, and afterwards, every day you bragged in front of us about how you and Brother Ba killed fifty thousand people together!"

"Blowing up how mighty he was!"
