Chapter 296
But... as the situation unfolded, they discovered that all of this far exceeded their expectations!
First was Han Xin's army; they fought too quickly!
In just a few months, by cutting off the rivers, they had already conquered more than half of the Xiongnu's territory!
Finally, at the Battle of Hulun Grassland, they actually managed to lure Facing Ying Su over!
Facing Ying Su!
Regardless, he is the Emperor now!
With him there, how could that great army possibly advance?
They cannot advance!
Because once they cross over, Facing Ying Su will surely strip them of their military power.
Without military power, how can they carry out the next batch of operations?
They have no choice but to claim illness and thus resist the imperial edict!
Otherwise... once they cross over, the situation will be impossible to salvage.
"But continuing to resist the imperial edict like this is no solution!"
That day, after Facing Ying Su's envoy departed, General Meng Tian furrowed his brows tightly!
He felt this was tantamount to rebellion!
Tell Meng Wu sighed: "Even if it is rebellion, we remain loyal to His Majesty the First Emperor. If we cross over and Facing Ying Su disperses our armies, stripping us of military power, then everything will be mere empty talk!"
"Rather than sitting idle awaiting death, we should take a desperate gamble!"
"A desperate gamble?"
General Meng Tian was stunned, looking at Tell Meng Wu in disbelief!
Tell Meng Wu clenched his fist fiercely: "While Facing Ying Su finishes with the Xiongnu and returns to Yan Sect Pass, we will capture him, bring him back to Xianyang City, and await His Majesty the First Emperor's judgment!"
General Meng Tian furrowed his brows tightly!
He felt this was not a good idea.
Moreover, the probability of success was extremely low!
After all, this was Facing Ying Su; how many experts surrounded him?
How difficult would it be to capture Facing Ying Su from so many people!
But... facing the current predicament, he had no way at all and could only follow Tell Meng Wu's lead!
"So what now?"
"What should be done now?"
After reading Facing Ying Su's handwritten letter, General Meng Tian looked at Tell Meng Wu again: "Now this is the last chance Facing Ying Su has given us. If we still do not send troops, then our charge of rebellion will be confirmed!"
General Meng Tian spoke with a sigh.
Tell Meng Wu clenched his fist again: "Only when Young Master Prince Prince Fusu becomes Emperor will the world be at peace. I am willing to support Young Master Prince Prince Fusu!"
He shouted and bowed down to Prince Prince Fusu!
General Meng Tian looked at Prince Prince Fusu for a moment, then finally bowed down as well: "Meng Tian pledges to follow the Young Master until death!"
Prince Prince Fusu angrily declared again: "Do not send troops, absolutely do not send troops! We cannot obstruct this rebellious son from committing such boundless slaughter; that is already the elder brother's grave error. To aid him? Impossible!"
"I absolutely will not send troops!"
"When he returns to Yan Sect Pass, I will personally bind him and take him back to Xianyang to await my father's judgment!"
"For such boundless great crimes, exile him to Bashu, making him repent his faults before the world every day!"
After speaking with immense anger, Prince Prince Fusu finally turned and left with a sweep of his sleeve!
Leaving Tell Meng Wu and General Meng Tian to exchange a glance, with only sighs remaining!
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed!
Inside Chong Xin's room!
"They still have not come?"
"They still have no intention of accepting the edict?"
Chong Xin's gaze, infinitely chilling, turned toward the accompanying eunuch!
The eunuch nodded: "They have not come!"
Chong Xin took a deep breath, and finally sighed: "Summon General Wang Ben!"
"Yes!"
Moments later, Wang Ben arrived!
And the moment he saw Wang Ben, Chong Xin burst into tears on the spot!
"General, they... they still have not come!"
"What?"
The words had barely left his lips when Wang Ben swallowed hard!
He was stunned!
At this very moment, he dared not say another word!
All he felt now was shock!
Remember, that was ten summonses!
Ten summonses, and they still would not accept the call; what do they intend to do!
Refusing ten summonses was one thing, but they did not even acknowledge Facing Ying Su's handwritten letter!
"They... they..."
Wang Ben stood stunned!
Meanwhile, Chong Xin cried out:
"General, look, just look at these rebellious traitors! See how they have bullied the Emperor!"
"Look at these beasts! The Emperor and General Han Xin led a hundred thousand men to fight bitterly against the Xiongnu on the grasslands, swearing to annihilate the Xiongnu!"
"But these people? These beasts! They actually sat on the sidelines! They actually didn't even move a muscle!"
"General Wang Ben, look at these traitors! If it were you, you would have annihilated them at the very first moment!"
"But the Emperor is too kind! He issued ten edicts in a row! They refused to accept the edicts, yet he was still willing to give them another chance!"
"But... but what about them?"
"They completely ignored the Emperor's ten edicts! They didn't even respond to the Emperor's personal letters! What do they want to do!"
"What do these rebellious traitors want to do!"
"The Emperor is too kind!"
"This person is simply too kind!"
"If it were me, Chong Xin, I would have sent General Li Yuanba over long ago to level them!"
"The Emperor has it hard! The Emperor is too kind!"
"These beasts!"
"They are bullying the Emperor!"
"Seeing that the Emperor is kind, they bully the Emperor ruthlessly!"
"General Wang Ben, the Emperor has a bitter fate! It is not easy for him!"
"For this nation, for these meritorious officials, for the bond of brotherhood, he has suffered too much, too much! He has endured too much grievance!"
As Chong Xin spoke, he wailed loudly, beating Wang Ben's shoulders fiercely!
Wang Ben, with tears in his tiger-like eyes, clenched his fist tightly at that moment, feeling a surge of rage!
Rebellion!
This is truly rebellion!
In that instant, Wang Ben felt an extraordinary rage!
Even if they do not accept the new Emperor, what does this count as?
Even if Ying Su is committing rebellion and usurping the throne, he is still the Emperor now!
Even if he cannot be Emperor in the future, he is still the Sixth Young Master of Great Qin!
What are they doing?
Bullying people?
Wang Ben was filled with boundless rage!
