Chapter 319

At that moment, he looked at Han Xin and couldn't help but swallow lightly; to be honest, at this very moment, he was truly a little moved!

Han Xin!

Remember... he is Han Xin!

A person who knows nothing except war!

He cannot wash clothes or cook, he cannot play with women, he does not understand political struggles at all, and he knows nothing of human affairs!

As for pleasing people, he is completely incapable of it!

Yet... he spoke these words to me!

At this very moment, Ying Su felt his eyes grow slightly moist!

Finally, he slapped Han Xin's shoulder hard: "Let's go! I will take you to eat meat~!"

After speaking, he shouted loudly:

"Order the entire army: tonight, feast to your heart's content; let the entire army drink freely and play freely!"

"Additionally, I specially grant the entire army three days of rest; within these three days, you may raid within a thousand li of the Xiongnu, seize their cattle and sheep, kill their people, ravage the Xiongnu women, and burn all their tents!"

"Crazy!"

"Let us go completely mad!"

At that moment, Ying Su laughed heartily.

And as soon as these words were spoken, the entire army was simply ecstatic; everyone shouted:

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"The new Emperor far surpasses the First Emperor!"

"The new Emperor far surpasses the First Emperor!"

At that moment, the entire army was shouting!

The entire army was excited to the extreme!

Wang Jian was greatly shocked; he instinctively wanted to advise Ying Su that this was improper.

After all, this was burning, killing, and plundering; even when Qin Mie conquered the six states, the soldiers were never indulged like this!

Yet... before the words of advice could leave his mouth, he himself shook his head!

Can the war to destroy the Xiongnu be the same as the war to destroy the six states?

The war to destroy the six states was the First Emperor unifying the world; it was a war to gather hearts and minds!

But what about the war to destroy the Xiongnu?

This is a war of extermination intended to kill them all!

The significance of this battle lies in ensuring that the north of Great Qin will have no worry of foreign invasion for a hundred years, or even a thousand years!

The significance of the two is different; they cannot be compared at all!

Therefore, indulging the soldiers in this way is no problem at all!

Moreover, when the Xiongnu invaded, were they not the same?

Such conduct is merely repaying them in kind; what is improper about it?

Furthermore, Ying Su made it clear: raid within a thousand li of the Xiongnu for three days.

Once the three-day limit has passed and one leaves the Xiongnu territory, this decree immediately becomes void.

His only worry was whether this would cultivate a habit of burning, killing, and plundering among the soldiers!

He pondered and worried, but after a moment, he shook his head!

Other armies might, but Han Xin's army absolutely will not do so!

Han Xin's military law is no joke!

Wang Jian nodded; at this very moment, he was smiling while being pulled by Ying Su into the tent to drink!

And inside the tent, everyone drank and chatted, drinking to their heart's content and chatting joyfully!

Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, suddenly, Chong Xin ran in to report: "Li Cunxiao, General Li Yuanba, General Fan Kuai, and others have returned, and they have also escorted back over three hundred experts from the Central Plains, including Xiaoyaozi!"

"Hmm?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Ying Su frowned severely: "Escort them back for what? They have already betrayed; just kill them!"

He waved his hand.

Yet at this moment, Wang Jian quickly knelt and bowed: "Your Majesty, it was I who ordered Fan Kuai to escort them back!"

"Oh?"

"Why?"

Ying Su looked at Wang Jian!

Wang Jian said: "When the army captured Xiaoyaozi, Xiaoyaozi said he had no intention of harming Li Yuanba at that time; he merely wanted to take the opportunity to save Li Yuanba, but... Li Cunxiao arrived too fast, and they never got the chance to act!"

"As for those three hundred people, when the Qin Army saw them, they were in the midst of a fierce battle with Xiongnu soldiers!"

"They all claimed they were wrongly accused!"

Wang Jian made the report!

And after hearing these words, Ying Su simply laughed: "Do you believe such nonsense?"

Wang Jian shook his head:

"Of course not; these people are merely opportunists; seeing that the Xiongnu's defeat was certain, they simply surrendered along the way! They have absolutely no loyalty to Your Majesty or to Great Qin; it has been over ten years since the world was unified, yet to this day, these people still refer to themselves as Chu people, Zhao people, Qi people, and so on!"

"Even if they truly did not betray a second time, they should still be killed!"

"Keeping them is nothing but a disaster!"

"Then... why does the old General keep them alive instead of killing them?"

Ying Su smiled and looked at Wang Jian.

By now, he had already seen through Wang Jian's intention!

At that moment, he truly couldn't help but praise the old fox, while at the same time cursing him in his heart for being so ruthless!

But... this kind of ruthlessness was the kind Ying Su liked.

Likewise, he wasted no time and shouted directly: "Bring Xiaoyaozi in!"

"Yes!"

In the blink of an eye, Li Cunxiao, along with Li Yuanba and Fan Kuai, threw the tightly bound Xiaoyaozi onto the ground!

The moment Xiaoyaozi saw Ying Su, he knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically and shouting wildly: "Your Majesty, spare my life! Spare my life!"

"Spare your life?"

"First you betrayed us, then you tried to kill Li Yuanba; how can I spare you?"

Ying Su flew into a rage and shouted directly: "Drag him out and kill him!"

Li Cunxiao said not a word and simply grabbed Xiaoyaozi by the collar!

This scene nearly scared Xiaoyaozi to death!

He kowtowed frantically and shouted wildly:

"Don't!"

"Don't!"

"Don't, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, you know one thing but not the other; listen to my explanation! I have a difficult secret to reveal!"

Xiaoyaozi shouted.

Ying Su waved his hand!

Li Cunxiao stopped!

Xiaoyaozi began to shout loudly:

"Your Majesty, at that time I only wanted to seize the opportunity to save General Li Yuanba; I had not the slightest intention of killing him!"

"Even though we initially shouted our loyalty to Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu, it was only because General Li Yuanba did not appear in time; we were forced to pretend to surrender to survive, for if we had not done so, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu would certainly have killed us!"

"In other words, if General Li Yuanba had appeared at the first moment as agreed, we would never have surrendered!"

He shouted loudly.

The moment these words were spoken, Han Xin immediately frowned; if this were examined closely, Li Yuanba would be considered to have violated military law!

After all... it was he who had demanded Li Yuanba arrive one hour late at that time!

Could it be... that he now had to ask for punishment?
