Chapter 305

"In one battle, slaughter them all!"

Fan Kuai spoke, utterly excited.

Likewise, he had waited a long, long time for this battle!

And the crowd felt the same!

But...

The outcome often does not develop in the direction everyone expects!

Unknowingly, Xiao Daozi and the others had been shouting outside the swamp for several days.

But... except for the two or three hundred people who came out on the first day, not a single person emerged on the following two days!

"Sigh! It seems the Master, Master Master Xiaomeng, and these people are all determined to be traitors to the state and to defy Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Xiao Daozi spoke with immense anger.

Ling Yin, who had escaped from the Heavenly Sect, nodded as well: "Yes! They are determined to serve the Xiongnu; this group is beyond saving!"

At that moment, many people nodded, and many expressed that no one would be called out.

Some even asked if they could leave.

Lu Wan nodded and said: "Of course you can leave, but... before you go, do you not intend to meet Your Majesty?"

"Report your merits to Your Majesty and ask Him to personally issue a pardon decree? Or perhaps, grant you some rewards?"

"Your Majesty often says, 'The sea of bitterness has no bounds; turning back is the shore; admitting mistakes and correcting them is the greatest good.' If some among you are willing to serve Your Majesty, that would be a blessing for both you and Your Majesty!"

Lu Wan spoke these words.

Upon hearing these words, the group's eyes lit up in that instant!

Many of them coveted the rewards Lu Wan mentioned.

Others coveted serving the Emperor as Lu Wan said!

What does this mean? It means they can become officials in the imperial court!

Do not think that because they are people of the Jianghu, they do not wish to enter Ruchaotang and serve the imperial court; in fact, many do!

It is just that... in times of peace, the threshold to serve the imperial court is truly too high.

Thus, they were forced to enter the Jianghu and live days of fighting and killing!

But thinking carefully, how can fighting and killing compare to being an official in the imperial court, holding power and comfort?

Therefore, many people's eyes were very bright!

There were also some who, even if they were indifferent to fame and profit, had no thought of becoming officials in the imperial court, and were not short of the Emperor's meager rewards.

But... if they could personally hear the Emperor's pardon decree, that would still be very good!

After all... having committed such a great error, merely hearing others speak of a pardon made them feel somewhat uneasy!

No matter who says it, nothing carries more credibility than the Emperor saying it with His own mouth!

So, many people were excited!

With almost no delay, everyone nodded, all expressing their desire to meet the Emperor!

"Good! Then wait here; allow me to go and report!"

After Lu Wan finished speaking, he mounted a swift horse and left!

Inside Ying Su's tent!

Wang Jian, Han Xin, they were all here!

At this very moment, they were discussing the details of the decisive battle!

Yes!

Preparations for the decisive battle have begun!

And Han Xin indeed had a trouble: that is... if they flee in all directions, Li Yuanba alone might not be able to fight them all!

And since there are many experts among them, if the soldiers' encirclement is not tight enough, it is very likely that some will break through and escape!

He was worrying about this very thought!

Suddenly, Lu Wan arrived and reported the situation on the other side to Ying Su!

"What about you? What do you think?"

Ying Su smiled and looked at Han Xin and Wang Jian!

Han Xin said excitedly: "As long as they do not participate in this battle, it is a good thing! Without them, our army will lose far fewer lives!"

Wang Jian nodded and said: "Indeed so. Each of these people possesses high martial arts; ordinary soldiers are simply no match for them! Only by dispatching experts like Qiao Feng and Lu Da can we handle them, but such experts, we have far too few!"

"Without them, it truly removes many troubles!"

"The few hundred people remaining now are not to be feared!"

"The odds of victory in this battle have increased by at least thirty percent!"

"Your Majesty is brilliant!"

Wang Jian praised!

And upon hearing these words, Ying Su smiled and said to Han Xin:

"Did you not just say you feared they would flee in all directions?"

"If I were to give you an army composed of over two thousand people with high martial arts, in this battle, what percentage of certainty do you have of annihilating them all?"

"What?"

"An army composed of over two thousand people with high martial arts?"

The moment these words were spoken, Han Xin was extremely excited!

He directly shouted out:

"Ninety percent!"

"At least ninety percent!"

Wang Jian frowned. "But where would such an army come from?"

He had, of course, thought of that group of experts who had escaped!

But that group… not helping the Xiongnu have already was already a blessing; getting them to lay down their lives?

Wang Jian felt it was difficult!

Yet Facing Ying Su merely smiled and said, "Since it's making use of waste, then let's use it to the extreme!"

"Lu Wan, is everything prepared?"

Lu Wan bowed respectfully. "Reporting to Your Majesty, everything is prepared!"

"Good! Then let these people in!"

"I shall meet them!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lu Wan bowed and took his leave.

Not long after!

In the Qin Army's military camp!

Outside the tent!

More than two thousand people bowed to Facing Ying Su!

And on either side of Facing Ying Su stood Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba!

Around him were also Qiao Feng, Cao Zhengchun, the Palace Master of Inviting Moon, as well as Lu Bu, Xu Chu, and others!

And just one glance at these people filled countless others with dread!

Setting others aside!

Just look at Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao alone!

Many of those present had crossed blades with Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao!

As for their bravery, everyone had seen it with their own eyes!

Everyone who had fought them was utterly shaken!

Li Yuanba — divine strength of forty thousand jin, one man fighting hundreds of thousands alone!

Li Cunxiao — iron frame and steel bones, blades and spears could not pierce him!

They were both peerlessly invincible warriors!

And then there was Qiao Feng — even now, the mere thought of his Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms was enough to shake people!

Xiaoyao Zi especially — he had taken a solid hit of Qiao Feng's "Flying Dragon in the Sky" firsthand!

As for Qiao Feng's martial prowess, he was deeply shocked!
