Chapter 337

"What?"

"Again?"

As soon as the words left his lips, Prince Prince Fusu trembled all over.

General Meng Wu and General Meng Tian both turned to look at Prince Prince Fusu!

The biggest problem right now is whether to open the city gates!

"Open them. Last time it was to return to the Qin State; this time, they should be heading back to the grasslands to continue fighting!"

General Meng Tian spoke!

General Meng Wu nodded in agreement!

But... at this very moment, Prince Prince Fusu, who had just been in a panic, waved his hand to interrupt, pondered for a long time, and then said:

"If we set an ambush at the city gates and coordinate it with poisoned needles and poisoned arrows, we should be able to kill Li Yuanba!"

"What?"

As soon as the words left his lips, General Meng Tian was stunned!

General Meng Wu was stunned as well!

They looked at Prince Prince Fusu with faces full of disbelief, and at the same time, swallowed their saliva again and again!

Prince Prince Fusu's eyes shone with excitement as he said, "If successful, then we will never fear Facing Ying Su again!"

General Meng Tian swallowed his saliva and asked, "Then... then what if it fails?"

"Who can stop a rampaging Li Yuanba?"

General Meng Wu nodded in agreement: "Yes, who can stop Li Yuanba?"

"If he goes into a frenzy, the five hundred and fifty thousand people inside the city could all die!"

"This..."

Prince Prince Fusu frowned deeply. At this very moment, he was calculating, but before he could finish thinking, suddenly, another soldier came to report:

"General Wang Ben has opened the city gates; Li Yuanba has already left!"

"Phew..."

As soon as the words left his lips, General Meng Tian let out a long sigh of relief, and General Meng Wu also let out a long sigh of relief!

Only a trace of regret appeared on Prince Prince Fusu's face!

In the end, he could only sigh, "What a pity!"

"Young Master, there is nothing to regret. If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time!"

General Meng Wu spoke.

General Meng Tian also offered comfort!

Finally, the two men bowed, paid their respects to Prince Prince Fusu, and left the place one after another!

Night fell, inside General Meng Wu's room!

Just as General Meng Wu was about to rest, the voice of General Meng Tian came from outside the door:

"Father!"

"Hmm?"

General Meng Wu responded, then opened the door and looked at General Meng Tian: "What's wrong?"

General Meng Tian said nothing; after entering the room directly, he first poured himself a cup of tea!

After drinking it in one gulp, he asked General Meng Wu:

"In Father's opinion, how is the Xiongnu war situation? Can Facing Ying Su really destroy the Xiongnu?"

"Eh?"

As soon as the question was asked, General Meng Wu was stunned, then sighed and said:

"Is that even a question? At this point, the Xiongnu are definitely doomed to defeat, and it is even possible they will be completely wiped out!"

As he spoke, he looked at the map on the wall!

This map was precisely the complete picture of the Xiongnu!

He pointed to the southern boundary line on the map and said:

"If the Xiongnu run into the Hanhai, there is no food and no water there. If hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people enter there, it is seeking their own death!"

"The Xiongnu's only way to survive is to enter the snow mountains!"

"But... the snow mountains are steep, stretching nearly a thousand li. How difficult is it to cross them?"

"Han Xin driving them here is truly ruthless!"

"But... if I were in Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's position, besides this place, I wouldn't know where else to flee!"

General Meng Wu sighed again.

General Meng Tian listened quietly, saying nothing!

After a long time, he finally spoke to General Meng Wu:

"If the Xiongnu are destroyed, then on Facing Ying Su's way back to Xianyang, he must pass through Yan Sect Pass. At that time, should we open the gates and let him pass?"

"Hmm?"

As soon as the words left his lips, General Meng Wu was stunned for a moment, then frowned and closed his eyes!

General Meng Tian continued:

"Facing Ying Su has two fierce generals under him, Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao. Just Li Yuanba alone can fight at least five hundred thousand people; if you add Li Cunxiao, the two working together can fight at least one million people!"

"Just these two are already so hard to stop, let alone the hundred thousand troops of Han Xin, and even... those weapons called cannons!"

"With all of this, if our five hundred and fifty thousand troops try to block them forcibly, what are our chances of victory?"

"Besides, we have General Wang Ben on our side!"

"Undoubtedly, he supports Ying Su. Should he defect at a critical moment, he could take at least two hundred thousand men with him!"

"And with our three hundred and fifty thousand men fighting Ying Su, what are our chances of victory?"

"Beyond that, there is the issue of grain and baggage and supplies. If Ying Su truly intends to annihilate us, I believe he need not dispatch an army; he need only send a secret edict to Xiao He, telling him to cease sending grain to this place, and we would have no choice but to starve to death!"

Meng Tian spoke again and again.

Hearing these words, Meng Wu could not help but draw in another sharp breath of cold air!

Finally, he looked at Meng Tian and began to wave his hand: "No need to say more!"

"Father..."

Meng Tian grew somewhat anxious; he was just about to speak!

But Meng Wu waved his hand to interrupt him: "No need to say more. I understand your meaning. What you wish to say is simply that opposing Ying Su is to seek our own death!"

Meng Tian nodded frantically: "That is exactly what I mean!"

Meng Wu shouted angrily: "If we surrender, what then of Young Master Prince Fusu?"

"This..."

The moment the words left his lips, Meng Tian was stunned for a moment!

At this very moment, he could not help but frown.

He began to ponder Meng Wu's words!

Indeed, if they surrendered, what then of Young Master Prince Fusu?

If Ying Zheng were still alive, it would be one thing, but what after Ying Zheng's death?

Would the Facing Ying Su Society spare Young Master Prince Fusu?

His brows were deeply furrowed!

Meng Wu waved his hand and said: "It is not only a matter of Young Master Prince Fusu, but of ourselves as well!"

"Try to think: if you were the Emperor, would you leave behind a rebellious minister who once defied an imperial edict?"

"Would you leave behind a close attendant of a Young Master who held the greatest hope of becoming Emperor?"

"Or, would you plant a poisonous thorn beside yourself?"

"You would not!"

"If I were in your place, I would not; not only would I not, but any Emperor would not!"

"Even if the positions were swapped, exchanging Prince Fusu and Ying Su, I would still advise Prince Fusu to kill Ying Su. Even if he did not wish to kill him and still cherished old ties, I would still kill him!"

"There is no choice. An Emperor never kills based on loyalty or treachery, good or evil, nor even on personal preference, but on the level of danger the person poses!"

"Prince Fusu, the Eldest Young Master! His prestige in Great Qin is second only to the First Emperor Ying Zheng!"

"Indeed... many people did not obey the First Emperor, yet no one disobeyed Prince Fusu!"

"Many people cursed the First Emperor as cruel, but when all under heaven spoke of Prince Fusu, who would not raise a thumb to praise his benevolence?"
