Chapter 363

~5 min read 978 words

After a full day of fierce fighting, Han Xin's casualties exceeded forty thousand!

The Xiongnu were reduced to fewer than eight hundred thousand!

Then, another full day of fierce fighting ensued!

Han Xin's casualties reached sixty thousand!

Only forty thousand remained to engage in a final battle with Li Yuanba and Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu!

At the critical moment, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu fled, breaking through the Qin Army with three hundred thousand men to escape!

Han Xin wasted no time, ordering Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao to pursue immediately!

However... during the pursuit, disaster struck!

An avalanche occurred!

When both sides reached the halfway point of the snow mountain, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu unleashed the powerful Eagle Cry Technique, shattering the snow mountain!

This triggered a massive avalanche!

The snow accumulated on the mountain for centuries or even millennia rolled down all at once!

Even if Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao were gods, they found it difficult to resist this terrifying power of heaven and earth!

Both of them were buried alive!

Along with them, the more than twenty thousand troops following behind, responsible for the pursuit, were all buried alive!

But due to the terrain, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu and his three hundred thousand men escaped this avalanche!

Thus, he fled with three hundred thousand men!

After reading this victory report!

In that instant, Seeing Ying Zheng's head buzzed!

Although everything was written in detail above, he still felt it was unbelievable and could not believe it!

Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, did they just die like that?

And Han Xin's hundred thousand soldiers, were only fewer than twenty thousand left?

His head buzzed loudly; he really found it hard to accept this!

Yes!

Even if he hated Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, grinding his teeth with hatred for the two!

Indeed, he had shouted more than once to kill them both!

But... after truly hearing news of their deaths, Seeing Ying Zheng still felt his head buzzing, as if the sky had collapsed!

How ferocious were these two!

What mighty men they were!

Although he hated them, his greatest wish was not to kill them, but to bring them under his command!

After bringing them under his command, he would lead them to conquer the Southern Yue in the south and destroy the Xiongnu in the north!

Although the Xiongnu are destroyed now!

But... the Great Qin still has many, many battles to fight!

Overseas, attacking the world beyond the snow mountains!

But... but...

Did they just die like that?

Seeing Ying Zheng felt a heart-wrenching pain!

Of course, besides heart-wrenching pain, he also had worry!

A deep, heavy worry!

Rebellious son!

How is the rebellious son?

This victory report only mentioned the casualties of Han Xin's army!

What about the rebellious son?

How is the rebellious son?

Is he alive or dead?

If he is dead, what should be done for the future of the Great Qin?

If he is dead... who will inherit my throne?

What will the future of the Great Qin look like?

Seeing Ying Zheng's body trembled, shaking involuntarily all over!

He dared not imagine all of this at all!

But soon, he shook his head, urging himself in his heart again and again not to think wildly!

This rebellious son has the life of a tortoise; his life is extremely hard!

I have attacked him so many times, yet every time I failed, and was even countered by this rebellious son!

How could he die so easily!

He urged himself again and again, finally calming his agitated heart!

But... thinking of Facing Ying Su's current situation, his heart, which had just calmed, became agitated again!

Not dead?

Even if he is not dead, what then?

With Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao no longer by his side, who can guarantee his safety?

And the army; at most, he has only twenty thousand men by his side now!

What if Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu brings three hundred thousand men back to attack?

And those so-called Central Plains experts!

If they want to assassinate that treacherous son, without Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, who could stop them?

Ying Zheng panicked!

At this moment, utterly terrified!

He truly did not dare imagine what the situation would look like next!

But... no matter how panicked, he had to force himself to calm down!

Because... there was one piece even heavier matter waiting for him to handle!

That was to stabilize the court!

Indeed!

The court looked fine on the surface right now!

But... the undercurrents here were terribly complicated!

On one side, the forces left behind by Ying Su—Zhuge Liang, Zuo Zuo Zongtang, Kill Xiao He, and others—were opposing him.

On the other side, the nobles who openly supported him yet always harbored their own little schemes and calculations!

Even General Meng Tian and Tell Meng Wu—right now they weren't exactly docile sorts either.

If the news of Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao's deaths were to spread, who knew what kind of upheaval might occur?

"Fake!"

"The seal is fake!"

"The handwriting on it is also fake!"

"This man dares to impersonate a military camp timekeeper and spread false reports of victory!"

"Kill him!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and casually tore up this report of victory!

Tore it into pieces!

Finally, he tossed it into the furnace and burned it to ash!

And once these words came out, instantly, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief!

Just as expected!

How could three million Xiongnu be killed down to only three hundred thousand fleeing in panic?

Even Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao are gone, Han Xin only has twenty thousand men left—what would Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu run from!

Wouldn't he just turn around and attack?

There were simply too many doubtful points in this report of victory.
