Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

The system reward that just arrived undoubtedly solved a big problem for Gao Yao. It was one hundred Ferghana horses that came with the system. These were all top-notch war horses. With his own one hundred soldiers who had undergone many trainings, Gao Yao still had some confidence.

The training methods of these soldiers are no longer limited to the training methods of this era. Gao Yao has integrated many training methods of special forces in later generations. In addition to daily guard duty, Gao Yao treats these personal soldiers very well. In addition to a considerable salary, they also have houses, land, slaves, and even women if they want them. However, even Gao Yao cannot interfere in this regard.

The intensity of the training was also very high. There must be meat in the three meals a day. Under such circumstances, Gao Yao's personal soldiers basically weighed about 60 kilograms. It sounds like they were heavy, but in fact, this was very different from bodybuilding in later generations. They were all real muscles. Basically, the average force value was above 70 points. The force value of Erniu, the leader of the personal soldiers, was already above .

Any one of Gao Yao's personal soldiers would be at least a centurion if he were to be placed in the army. Now, with the best war horses, fine steel armor, and the bonus of weapons and equipment, Gao Yao would not be afraid even if he fought a hundred men against a thousand.

This batch of war horses rewarded by the system solved Gao Yao's urgent need. On the one hand, these war horses could be distributed to generals with sufficient strength, and on the other hand, these war horses could be kept for breeding, which was the most critical thing.

It's not that there are no horses in the south, but there is a lack of suitable horse breeding land. Another point is the problem of bloodline. Because of the inherent weakness of southern horses, they will not have suitable offspring after being passed down from generation to generation. The bloodline of hybrid horses will only get worse and worse.

These two problems are not a problem for Gao Yao. First of all, the lack of horse-breeding land in the south does not mean that it cannot be expanded. Another real reason for the scarcity of war horses in the south is because of economic constraints. Horse breeding requires a lot of fodder. On the one hand, a special horse-breeding location requires personnel to guard and train war horses, etc. These investments are definitely a considerable amount of money. The money and food invested are enough to directly buy the corresponding number of trained war horses or even more.

Therefore, in general, the ruler will definitely choose the latter rather than the former. It is not that no one did this during the Warring States Period. The Chu State once did this, but in the end they found that the horses they bred were getting worse and worse, so they finally chose to give up. This is because you can spend money to buy the best war horses, but the best war horses do not mean pure bloodlines. Once the war horses begin to be hybridized, their physique, endurance, height, etc. will change a little bit.

After spending countless money, they ended up training a bunch of horses that could only be used to pull goods. Naturally, it was not worth spending a lot of money to train them. Over time, this became a consensus in the southern border.

As for Gao Yao, he already has top-notch purebred war horses. As for building a horse farm, it is not a problem. With sufficient land and food, Gao Yao is willing to spend the money. The food is also sufficient, which is very important for the future.

Just two days later, after hearing that Gao Yao's health had improved, Zhao Tuo personally visited Gao Yao with various gifts.

"Master Gao Yao, how are you?"

After Zhao Tuo entered the main hall and saw Gao Yao's pale face, he frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed and began to care about Gao Yao's health.

"General, I have caught a cold and am worried about infecting others, so I have been staying at home for days, delaying your important work."

"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

"I think the reason why the general came here this time is because of Master Hu Hai's departure and the attack on Meng Yi."

"That's right, Lord Gao Yao. Something happened suddenly on the border, followed by the sudden departure of Master Hu Hai. Do you know the reason behind these things?"

"Alas, in fact, I have long wanted to explain to the general that it was Meng Yi who persuaded Master Hu Hai at that time. I also persuaded Master Hu Hai before, but I am a lowly general and my words are not taken seriously. I can only send soldiers to escort Master Hu Hai away."

"As for the attack on Meng Yi, General, I didn't take any action when Meng Yi was in the city. If I took action when he was about to leave, wouldn't that just increase suspicion? General, think about it. If I really wanted to take action, why didn't I wait until he left the southern border before taking action?"

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Zhao Tuo frowned slightly.

"Besides, I was the one who brought up the conflict between Meng Yi and I with the general. I could have just made up a reason. Why should I tell the general the truth?"

Listening to Gao Yao's words, and thinking about Gao Yao's actions after Hu Hai arrived in the southern border, Zhao Tuo really did not think that Gao Yao had done anything wrong. In addition, the spies Zhao Tuo arranged in the city had reported the general course of events to Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo also knew the general situation clearly. After he left, Gao Yao just went to serve Hu Hai with the dancers as usual. He did not stay in the post station for too long before leaving. The next day, when Hu Hai left, he sent soldiers to see him off, but Gao Yao himself did not follow. Zhao Tuo could not find any clues.

Even if this matter could be explained clearly, Zhao Tuo could not imagine that there were other people who would do the same as attacking Yi Xiaochuan.

"Haha, Gao Yao, don't misunderstand me. I don't doubt you. I'm just a little curious. Who else in the Southern Territory has such a deep hatred for Meng Yi?"

"General, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"how to say?"

"It's a lie. The Meng family is a big family with deep roots. They have offended many people, but only a few dare to take action. It's possible that they just happened to run into some bandits."

"As for the truth? General, the conflict between you and General Meng Yi was witnessed by many of Hu Hai's personal soldiers. General Meng Yi repeatedly ignored your military merits and titles, and even contradicted you. This is also a fact."

"Nonsense! Who on earth said that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tuo immediately expressed great anger, and was even ready to draw his sword if he disagreed with him. On the contrary, Gao Yao did not care at all. After all, the other party had been pretending until now just for this reason. Meng Yi was attacked, and everyone with a discerning eye saw the conflict between Zhao Tuo and Meng Yi. Zhao Tuo was naturally worried that he would be blamed in the end.
