Chapter 74

"I do not have one hundred cannons, nor fifty thousand shells, but... I can lend you a person!"

"This person possesses the ability to fight a million soldiers alone; give him three to five years, and he alone can annihilate the Xiongnu!"

"Take him with you. I demand you end this battle within a year and annihilate the Xiongnu within a year!"

"Is this feasible?"

Facing Ying Su asked while staring at Han Xin!

Upon hearing this, Han Xin's eyes began to shine: "One person fighting a million soldiers alone? Who? Who is so brave?"

"Wait... Could Your Majesty be talking about Li Yuanba!"

Begging for flowers

He was shocked, his scalp tingling!

Han Xin no longer cared about anything else; he had also heard of Li Yuanba.

In the battle outside Xianyanggong, he alone killed fifty thousand garrison soldiers.

Truly terrifying to the extreme!

And with this person, his eighty thousand men and General Meng Tian's two hundred thousand wouldn't even need to engage in battle!

They would only need to chase the Xiongnu.

Herding them into a single group!

Once surrounded, simply hand them over to Li Yuanba to kill!

At that moment, he was excited to the extreme and directly promised Facing Ying Su:

"With Li Yuanba, less than a year; half a year is enough!"

"Half a year? How is that possible?"

Facing Ying Su was very surprised!

Remember, as always, the grasslands are vast!

If the Xiongnu cannot win, they will run!

Once a real fight breaks out, a large-scale frontal engagement could easily turn into a chase!

And the Xiongnu have horses and run fast; Han Xin's army would very likely be kited!

Annihilating the Xiongnu within a year is truly tight!

Yet Han Xin says half a year?

Han Xin smiled and said:

"Our army needs food and drink; the Xiongnu need food and drink too!"

"With Li Yuanba, I will separately station heavy troops to guard their water sources, forcing the Xiongnu to fight us; thus, half a year is enough to annihilate the Xiongnu!"

"If everything goes smoothly, we can annihilate them in three months!"

Han Xin recounted with a smile!

Hearing this, Facing Ying Su could not help but sigh: the Soldier Immortal is indeed the Soldier Immortal, truly the only person in history who could turn warfare into an art!

Facing Ying Su was still in shock!

However, at that very moment, Han Xin suddenly frowned and said to Facing Ying Su:

"The problem is, if I take Li Yuanba away, who will protect Your Majesty's safety?"

He asked, suddenly realizing this point!

Indeed!

Facing Ying Su lent Li Yuanba to him; what about the Emperor?

Wasn't there no one left by his side?

Han Xin instantly realized this and could not help but begin to worry!

At the same time, he furrowed his brows deeply!

Hearing this question from him, Facing Ying Su, to be honest, felt a warmth in his heart for that instant!

If anyone else said this, it would mean nothing!

But he is Han Xin!

A man who only knows how to lead troops and fight, understanding nothing of worldly affairs.

He followed Liu Bang his whole life; during the Battle of Peng Cheng, when Liu Bang faced life-or-death crisis, he did not send troops to rescue him.

Instead, he focused on how to defeat Xiang Yu's forces!

Yet at this critical moment, he actually thought of me!

Not easy!

Just that before the battle, he could still think of my safety; this heart is truly not easy!

At that moment, his heart was truly warm!

However, he still waved his hand at Han Xin and said:

"Do not worry about me; since you said that with Li Yuanba, the Xiongnu can be annihilated in three months, I will return now to issue an edict to General Meng Tian!"

"Once General Meng Tian's reply arrives, you must immediately take Li Yuanba and your new troops and depart!"

"But... I advise you to prepare for eighty thousand men attacking the Xiongnu!"

"Because... General Meng Tian will very likely not obey my edict, nor will he lend troops to me!"

"Therefore, during this time, you must diligently train your troops!"

"I estimate, at most two months, and you may have to depart!"

After Facing Ying Su finished speaking, he turned and left.

And Han Xin knelt down:

"Yes!"

Once he finished speaking, after Facing Ying Su left, he directly summoned Fan Kuai, Cao Can, Xia Houying, and the others, first introducing Zhou Yafu to them.

After that, he immediately began assigning new training tasks!

In short, they had to train brutally hard!

Moreover, he had Cao Can and Xia Houying tell the soldiers that within one month, they would set out to annihilate the Xiongnu!

One month?

Didn't Facing Ying Su say two months?

Although that was what was said!

Han Xin prepared according to one month nonetheless!

After all… Facing Ying Su was in such a hurry!

He was even so anxious that he had to send Li Yuanba out!

How could Han Xin possibly dawdle?

Prepare according to a one-month timeline!

The new recruits on this side were training in full swing.

And Facing Ying Su brought Dai Xin into the Crafts Office.

First they introduced themselves to each other, then Facing Ying Su directly drew the principles of modern firearms into blueprints, handed them to Dai Xin, and had him and Cai Lun research and manufacture them together.

The two of them did not delay, and immediately began!

And after arranging Dai Xin.

Facing Ying Su began thinking about the matter of writing a letter to General Meng Tian.

Although he clearly knew in his heart that General Meng Tian would most likely not listen to him.

But this letter still had to be written!

After all, this was the great matter of annihilating the Xiongnu.

If General Meng Tian helped, Han Xin's attack on the Xiongnu would be much easier!

After finishing this letter!

The next day, Facing Ying Su attended court!

And at the very first moment of court, he announced the great matter they had discussed yesterday!

And the moment the first great matter was spoken, it shocked the entire court!

Because the great matter Facing Ying Su mentioned was truly astonishing!

This matter was…

The Epang Palace, work halted!.......
