Chapter 300

"Run!"

At that moment, many people from the Central Plains were shouting, and some had already started fleeing!

This scene made Fan Zeng furious!

He called out to Seeing Xiang Yu, Master Master Xiaomeng, and a host of other experts, blocking everyone's path directly, and asked in a rage, "Where do you think you are going?"

136. Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu: Opportunists! All opportunists! Useless!

At this moment, looking at the crowd before him who were about to flee this place, Fan Zeng was filled with boundless rage!

However, as everyone looked at Fan Zeng, they laughed:

"If you are willing to sell your life for the Xiongnu barbarians, that is your business. Now that we are unwilling to sell our lives for the Xiongnu, what does it have to do with you?"

Another person nodded and said, "Exactly. The only reason we came to the grasslands was to kill Li Yuanba!"

"Now that Li Yuanba cannot be killed, and the Emperor is merciful enough to grant us a chance to live, why shouldn't we leave?"

"Do you expect us to wait until Han Xin and Li Yuanba attack?"

"Fan Zeng, I advise you to leave quickly as well. His Majesty the Emperor is still merciful. As long as you leave this place of trouble now, the Emperor's magnanimity will surely spare you too!"

At this moment, the crowd spoke endlessly!

Hearing these words, Fan Zeng could not help but gasp in shock!

Unable to hold back, he opened his mouth and shouted in anger, "Foolish!"

"So foolish!"

"My heavens!"

"How can there really be people in this world more foolish than pigs?"

"Even when a pig knows humans are going to kill it, it struggles and resists, yet you are throwing yourselves at them?"

"Are there really such foolish people in this world?"

He spoke in anger, and at this very moment, there was only despair!

Hearing this, a group of people immediately became enraged: "Fan Zeng, stop talking nonsense!"

"The Emperor is not an incompetent ruler, nor is he a tyrant!"

"If he were an incompetent and tyrannical ruler, how could he suppress and exploit the nobility? How could he stop the construction of the Great Wall? How could he exempt the common people from taxes?"

"He is a truly benevolent ruler!"

The crowd was furious!

But as soon as these words were spoken, Fan Zeng couldn't help but laugh out loud!

Damn it, just one or two months ago, or even just ten days ago, did they not remember how this group evaluated Facing Ying Su?

An incompetent ruler, a tyrant, massacring Xiongnu commoners, killing the innocent indiscriminately!

And now, right at this very moment, this group is actually evaluating Facing Ying Su as a benevolent ruler!

And all of this happened simply because Facing Ying Su said he was willing to give them a way to live!

"Sigh! Human hearts!"

"Human words!"

Fan Zeng sighed and shook his head. At this moment, looking at this group of people before him, he suddenly felt they were so pitiful!

Before, to gain benefits, they thought of every way to kill Li Yuanba, then overthrow Facing Ying Su, and even wanted to kill Facing Ying Su!

But now, seeing that gaining benefits is hopeless, and seeing that Facing Ying Su is about to defeat Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu, this group has started praising Facing Ying Su!

Hahaha...

It is truly ridiculous!

Fan Zeng shook his head!

At this very moment, he even felt a bit reluctant to deal with this group of people.

Just let them live or die on their own; let them open their eyes and see clearly whether Facing Ying Su will actually fulfill his promise and spare them!

But... can he just leave them alone?

No, he cannot!

Once this battle begins, if they are here, perhaps they can still defeat Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao!

As long as they kill them, there might still be a sliver of hope in this battle!

But if they are not here, Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao cannot be stopped!

They will slaughter indiscriminately!

By then, everyone will die; not a single person will survive!

Moreover, if they succeed in getting out, they will still confuse the hearts of the people!

Causing those who are still hesitating and whose will is not firm to follow and flee with them!

Even... the Xiongnu soldiers, seeing them escape alive, might even follow suit and surrender!

This is why deserters before a battle must be killed!

They disrupt the morale of the army!

And once that time truly comes, the great situation will be lost.

Without even needing Li Yuanba to act, the remaining three hundred thousand people would become three hundred thousand pigs, at the mercy of others to be slaughtered!

He cannot just leave them alone!

He really cannot just leave them alone!

He sighed!

Finally, he could only explain the pros and cons, turning to them and saying, "Before you decided to come to the grasslands, you were already mortal enemies of Facing Ying Su!"

"Do you not see what you have done? You fought desperately to kill Li Yuanba, and even wanted to kill Facing Ying Su. Under such circumstances, how could Facing Ying Su possibly spare you? You have been mortal enemies for a long time!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, try to think: would you spare someone who is determined to kill you?"

"Impossible!"

"None of you would spare someone determined to kill you, let alone Ying Su? He is human too; he has his own temper!"

"Moreover, he is the Emperor. If the Emperor does not even kill those who assassinate him, what kind of Emperor is he?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, think carefully! Think carefully!"

At this very moment, Fan Zeng shouted!

However, as soon as these words were spoken, someone laughed on the spot: "Fan Zeng, do not measure a gentleman's heart with a petty man's mind!"

"In past years, Duke Huan of Qi even heavily employed Guan Zhong, who once shot at him, thus creating a false story!"

"Duke Wen of Jin, Chong'er, also spared the assassin Shi Ren Pi, who killed his wife of his youth, thus achieving the hegemony of the State of Jin!"

"Now, with the great war imminent, is it impossible that Ying Su, not wishing to kill the innocent, would spare so many of us?"

"It is still the same saying: Ying Su is benevolent; otherwise, he would not have stopped the construction of the Great Wall!"

"On the contrary, staying here to help the Xiongnu fight the Great Qin is the path to death!"

"Not only will you die, but after death you will also bear the eternal infamy of being a traitor to the nation!"

"Such infamy, we would rather die ten thousand times than bear!"

They spoke in anger!

Hearing these words, Fan Zeng was instantly choked to death!

Who is the most pitiful and most hateful person in this world?

Is it the fool?

No!

The fool is not hateful, because the fool is obedient; they do not know how to walk themselves, but they will find someone who knows how to walk and follow them closely. They are not only not hateful, but lovable!

Are the wise hateful? The wise are certainly hateful, but... they understand the importance of stance! With a firm stance, everything can be discussed; without a firm stance, nothing can be accomplished!

The most hateful are those who clearly do not have enough brains yet insist on thinking they are very smart.

These people are truly pitiful, hateful, and infuriating!

They are so ridiculous that they bring up the two great Central Plains hegemon, Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin, from past years.

Did Duke Huan of Qi not want to kill Guan Zhong?

It was because of Bao Shuya's strong recommendation, and moreover, Guan Zhong truly possessed real talent and learning!

Add to that the social background of the time required establishing a model of benevolence; only then could talent be recruited endlessly!

But what about these goods?

Where are these goods considered talent?
