Chapter 298

Han Xin glanced at the crowd and said:

"You all think the swamp is frozen, so this battle will be easy!"

"You think this battle is exactly like the previous ones, that we can surround them with a hundred thousand troops and let Li Yuanba start slaughtering, is that it?"

"But don't you forget, in this battle, there are experts from the Central Plains, and an old Fan Zeng!"

"You must not forget either, this battle is not the final one; after this fight, we must go to the Great Snow Mountain for the final decisive battle!"

"And even if it were the final battle, my Bingyebu Society soldiers will not die casually!"

"I am the Grand General appointed by the Emperor; I, Han Xin, have the duty to bring every single one of you alive back to Xianyang!"

"Not to fill the victory of a war with soldiers' lives!"

"So, in this battle, you must all fight steadily for me!"

"Do you all understand clearly?"

"Yes!"

At that moment, everyone bowed down!

Han Xin continued:

"Everyone, listen to my order!"

"From today on, the encirclement range begins to shrink!"

"Do not shrink it too much each day; it can only shrink by twenty li!"

"We must trap them!"

"Wear down their fighting spirit!"

"Dissolve their will!"

"And tell all the experts from the Central Plains: the Emperor is benevolent and shows mercy; Qin people do not kill Qin people. For the people of the Central Plains, anyone willing to flee voluntarily may be spared death!"

He shouted.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, looking at Han Xin in disbelief: "Spared death? Spare them death? Why?"

They asked Han Xin, while at the same time turning their gaze toward Facing Ying Su!

They looked at Facing Ying Su in disbelief, knowing that before, Facing Ying Su had issued an order to kill!

To kill everyone!

But now...

Facing Ying Su directly waved his hand and said:

"Military matters, listen to Han Xin!"

"Ah?"

The moment the words were spoken, everyone was stunned!

What does Facing Ying Su's words mean?

This is... just not caring about it anymore?

Everyone's heads buzzed!

And Facing Ying Su sighed!

He truly had no way!

These past few days, Han Xin and Wang Jian had both been reporting relevant battle plans to him!

And the thing they mentioned most was: leave a path of life!

Why?

Because... they all feared that if they pressed too hard, those experts from the Central Plains would fight desperately to cause trouble.

What if a few experts lost their minds and, during the chaos, rushed out to assassinate Facing Ying Su?

So, blocking is not as good as channeling!

Among many dead ends, give them a path of life!

This way, their fighting spirit can be dissolved better!

And it will also make many people retreat when they realize the difficulty!

"This..."

Facing Ying Su frowned heavily!

To be honest, he really did not want to agree!

But... Han Xin and Wang Jian were like they had conspired, asking him again and again!

As for the reason, it was obvious!

If someone assassinated Facing Ying Su, they could not bear this responsibility.

Naturally, they had to try every possible means to protect Facing Ying Su's safety!

And leaving a path of life, letting them escape, was naturally the best choice!

"No need! I have so many experts around me; can they succeed?"

Facing Ying Su was very disdainful.

However, Han Xin and Wang Jian directly knelt before Facing Ying Su:

"Your Majesty's safety must be absolutely secure!"

"This..."

Facing Ying Su frowned heavily!

He really did not want to agree, but since both of them were like this, even Facing Ying Su had no temper left; with great helplessness, he could only agree!

Sigh!

Let's erect another monument to benevolence!

Once this matter is settled, slaughter the entire lot of them!

Ying Su thought to himself!

These experts from the Central Plains were not only looked down upon by Chanyu Modu and Fan Zeng.

Ying Su looked down on them as well!

If this were in the Great Qin, within Outside Xianyanggong, and they attempted to assassinate him like Gao Jianli or Jing Ke, he might have regarded them with a bit more respect!

He might have praised them for their courage and boldness!

But... where is this? This is on the steppes!

What am I doing?

I am annihilating the Xiongnu!

As people of Qin, as people of the Central Plains, at this very moment, they are actually helping the Xiongnu fight against him?

This is only possible in the era of the Great Qin.

If this were in the later era during the War of Resistance against Japan, these people would undoubtedly be traitorous collaborators, even more hateful than the Japanese invaders!

For such people, Ying Su did not wish to show the slightest mercy!

He only wanted to kill them all!

And on the other side!

Ying Su, Wang Jian, and Han Xin were acting in collusion!

The rest of the crowd, even if they could not understand, could only obey at this moment!

And Han Xin continued to issue orders:

"Expand the encirclement to fifty thousand men. Fan Kuai, Lu Wan, Cao Can, Xia Houying, you are to continue reinforcing and tightening the encirclement according to the previous deployment!"

"Zhou Yafu, you are to lead men to shout daily that the experts from the Central Plains will not be killed if they flee, thereby undermining their morale!"

"Li Yuanba, from today on, ride your horse around the encirclement once every three double-hours!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

At that moment, everyone received the orders and departed.

In fact, many of the generals were quite displeased with Han Xin's arrangements!

Because... everyone wanted to start the battle immediately!

But... if one looks at it from another angle, Han Xin's actions were somewhat heartwarming!

Why?
