Chapter 294

Wang Jian bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, ten thousand troops are insufficient to annihilate the Xiongnu; I beg Your Majesty to issue an edict: since Wang Ben is willing to bring his army here, he should be ordered to lead one hundred and fifty thousand men to the Xiongnu lands to destroy the bandits!"

He shouted!

This was precisely his intention in coming: he had to pull Wang Ben out of that whirlpool!

However, upon hearing his words, Ying Su did not speak but instead looked at him with a smile!

Being stared at like this by Ying Su, Wang Jian felt his scalp go numb!

In such freezing weather, sweat was actually flowing down his head!

After a moment, Ying Su laughed, grabbed Wang Jian, and helped him up, saying:

"Old General, you ought to trust Wang Ben!"

"He may not appear very sharp, but he is no fool!"

"This..."

Wang Jian swallowed hard.

Ying Su said: "You have always thought Uncle Wang Ben was reckless, possessing only the courage of a brute without far-sighted strategy!"

"But I remember that when I was young, I once saw Uncle Wang Ben in battle; compared to you, he was even more steady and prudent!"

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Jian slammed his head fiercely against the ground!

Ying Su helped him up and asked: "Old General, now, do you think it is better for Wang Ben to stay there, or to come here to fight the Xiongnu?"

Wang Jian kowtowed fiercely: "Everything shall be arranged as Your Majesty sees fit! Wang Jian takes his leave!"

Ying Su nodded: "Mm!"

Nodding, he personally escorted Wang Jian out of the tent!

Hulun Grassland!

Inside Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's tent!

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu had already returned!

But... looking into the bronze mirror at his beard, which was now much shorter!

And the soldier's cap on his head!

And the soldier's clothes on his body!

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu, enraged, smashed his fist directly onto the table!

Fury!

Uncontrollable rage!

To think that he, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu, since unifying the great tribes of the grasslands, had ever suffered such humiliation?

Cutting off his beard and discarding his robe was not enough; he had even lost his crown.

His beloved tiger-skin cloak was also gone!

"Humiliation!"

"Humiliation!"

Chanyu Modu roared in contradiction!

Even recalling the events of last night, he trembled all over with anger!

However, just then, Fan Zeng walked in and began to sigh:

"After this calamity, we cannot escape!"

"Han Xin is truly formidable!"

"He actually managed to calculate that we would flee from that direction!"

As Fan Zeng sighed again and again, Chanyu Modu said angrily:

"Even if escape were possible, I have no intention of fleeing!"

"If I do not avenge this disgrace and personally kill Li Cunxiao, I, Chanyu Modu, swear I am no longer a man!"

Chanyu Modu was enraged to the extreme!

Fan Zeng said:

"But... the swamp has frozen over; we have lost all advantage. How can we fight this battle?"

Chanyu Modu shouted angrily: "Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death without cease!"

"This..."

Fan Zeng sighed.

At this moment, he wanted to tell Chanyu Modu that this would not work!

With Li Yuanba present, it was impossible to win under any circumstances!

And besides Li Yuanba, there was now also Li Cunxiao!

Although the Xiongnu army was large, it was... useless!

Without the advantage of terrain, they were nothing!

But... with the swamp now frozen, he too had no better solution!

Li Yuanba was too powerful, and Li Cunxiao was also too powerful!

Now, escape was impossible; they truly could only fight head-on!

"However... before that, the most important thing is to boost morale; last night's desperate flight has severely damaged the morale of the Xiongnu soldiers!"

"Now, many soldiers are unwilling to engage in battle!"

"And the soldiers are showing fear!"

"In this battle, I fear many will not dare to fight!"

"We must boost morale!"

"If we raise the morale, this battle might still be fought; without morale, it is impossible to fight!"

"Moreover, this matter must be done as soon as possible!"

"Ten days, at most ten days, and this swamp will be frozen solid!"

"Han Xin will surely attack Hulun Grassland at this time!"

Fan Zeng spoke while sighing deeply!

And Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu drew a deep breath, a deep breath!

Finally, he slammed a fierce fist onto the table.

Rage, uncontrollable rage!

134. The Emperor issues ten edicts but receives no response? Wang Ben's fury! Dare to rebel against my Great Qin?

Outside Yan Sect Pass, wind and snow drift down, white snow covering everything!

Inside Yan Sect Pass, the cold wind is biting, even more so!

This place was originally General Meng Tian's garrison; initially, three hundred thousand troops guarded Yan Sect Pass!

Later, due to Xiang Yu's rebellion, Seeing Ying Zheng transferred one hundred thousand troops, leaving Prince Prince Fusu with two hundred thousand to guard the Great Wall!

After that, the Xiongnu attacked.

Forcing Prince Prince Fusu to retreat in defeat; of the two hundred thousand, sixteen hundred thousand withdrew to Taiyuan!

Later, Li Yuanba killed six hundred thousand Xiongnu!

Xiang Yu's four hundred thousand troops were also killed by Li Yuanba, thirty thousand of them!

After these two hard battles, the Xiongnu retreated in defeat to the grasslands, and Xiang Yu fled in panic with over ten thousand men!

Meanwhile, General Meng Tian and Tell Meng Wu's three hundred thousand troops received an order from the First Emperor and were transferred to Taiyuan to join forces with Prince Prince Fusu, resisting the Xiongnu together!

Taiyuan's original garrison of one hundred thousand, plus the three hundred thousand brought back by Tell Meng Wu and General Meng Tian, and the sixteen hundred thousand Prince Prince Fusu brought back in retreat!

Now, Yan Sect Pass is garrisoned by a full five hundred and sixty thousand troops!

When Xinyiding Society arrived here, he looked at the incredibly tall city walls, and then at the magnificent and vast Great Wall!

Finally, staring at the garrison before him, he was so angry he ground his teeth!

With so many people here guarding the Great Wall, claiming to guard against the Xiongnu, but... where are the Xiongnu?

The Xiongnu are on the grasslands, where they are being pushed back step by step by Han Xin's one hundred thousand troops!

Now, they are even besieged at Hulun Grassland!
