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

Chapter 138 Xiang Yu’s defeat and changes in Xianyang!

The situation is now clear, and the situation has completely reversed! If Xiang Yu does not evacuate this place, he may never be able to get away. At this moment, Xiang Yu's face is extremely gloomy and ugly. He wanted to kill Gao Yao in a short time, but it went against his wishes. Not only did he fail to kill his opponent, but he was surrounded by Li Mo. Gao Yao's personal soldiers were extremely brave and powerful, leaving Xiang Yu helpless. At this moment, Xiang Yu knew that the best strategy was to retreat temporarily.

"Gao Yao, if you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman! One day, I will avenge my uncle! Retreat!"

Xiang Yu knew that he had lost the battle today. Despite the favorable weather and terrain, he still ended up in such a tragic defeat. He pulled the reins tightly, and then led the remaining men without hesitation, and broke through the tight encirclement formed by the personal soldiers with an indomitable momentum. However, surprisingly, Gao Yao did not stop them, but seemed to let them go.

"Don't chase after the desperate enemy! Erniu, convey my order immediately, properly organize the remains of our brothers, and evacuate this place as quickly as possible!" Gao Yao shouted loudly with a solemn expression. His eyes flashed with reluctance and helplessness, but his reason told him that he had to make the right decision at this moment.

In fact, at this moment, Gao Yao was extremely eager to chase Xiang Yu and even wanted to kill him with his own hands. However, he knew very well that the reason why Xiang Yu showed up here must be due to Fan Zeng's careful planning behind the scenes. He dared to ambush him with only a hundred soldiers, which undoubtedly demonstrated Xiang Yu's fearless courage and self-confidence. But for Gao Yao, this behavior could not be explained by bravery alone, but more by Fan Zeng's far-sighted layout strategy.

Gao Yao secretly speculated that behind these one hundred ambushes, there must be follow-up troops coming to support. Xiang Yu dared to take a risk, and although Gao Yao currently had the upper hand and had certain advantages, unfortunately, his men were too few to achieve the encirclement and annihilation of Xiang Yu. With Xiang Yu's ability, it would not be difficult to break through the siege. On the contrary, if the reinforcements sent by Fan Zeng arrived in time, Gao Yao would be in an extremely dangerous situation. Because he had no way of knowing how many troops the enemy had prepared, if he was unfortunately caught up by the pursuers, the situation would change dramatically again, and it would be difficult for Gao Yao to retreat unscathed.

Soon Gao Yao also reorganized his army. In total, he lost only eleven personal soldiers and killed hundreds of Xiang Yu's soldiers. This casualty rate alone was already very exaggerated, but Gao Yao still felt distressed. Gao Yao had spent a lot of effort to train these people. Each personal soldier had to train for more than half a year before he was eligible to start participating in the training of personal soldiers. It can be said that more than one in a hundred was selected.

This was largely due to Xiang Yu. If it weren't for Xiang Yu, the loss of the rest of the people would not have been even ten.

In Xianyang, the death of Hu Hai made Qin Shi Huang very angry, especially when he heard that the final diagnosis result was due to excessive indulgence. Moreover, this matter could not be made public, after all, it would damage the reputation of the royal family.

At the same time, in Xianyang City, Gongzi Gao's residence also welcomed a visit from a special person. Gongzi Gao also met the other party directly. In a word, the gifts given by the other party were indeed quite a lot, including silk, cloth, and fine wine, which were all rare items that could hardly be seen in Xianyang.

"Gao Jin, the butler of General Pingnan's residence, greets you, young master."

"Get up"

Hearing the other party's introduction, Gongzi Gao also frowned slightly. Looking at the other party's clothes, Gongzi Gao originally thought that Gao Yao came to visit him personally, but he didn't expect that he was just a housekeeper in the other party's mansion. This made Gongzi Gao a little dissatisfied. After all, he was the son of Qin Shihuang, and his status was here. Gao Yao's title was not enough for him to put on such a show in front of him.

It was nothing more than that Gao Yao had recently entered Xianyang, which had caused some sensation in Xianyang. He was close to Li Si, and it was rumored that he had conflicts with the Meng family. In addition, he was personally sought out by Qin Shihuang and was promoted directly from the Nanhai Wei to the Pingnan General, which had caused some sensation in the court. However, the scope of this sensation was not too large. If it was the northern border, the impact would still be relatively large. However, the influence of the southern border is not a little bit inferior to that of the northern border.

"Please don't blame me, my general has already returned to the southern border. I am very sorry that I cannot come to visit you in person, but I believe you should know the reason very well."

"I know? Oh, it's because I'm confused... Tell me, what's going on with General Gao Yao?"

Hearing this, Gongzi Gao immediately understood the reason. He was afraid of offending the Meng family. Gongzi Gao also began to suspect that Gao Yao wanted to seek his protection.

"My general wants to invite you to stay in the southern border temporarily."

"What? Heading to the Southland?"

After hearing Gao Jin's words, Gongzi Gao immediately asked back in a somewhat unbelievable tone,

"Sir, these gifts are just gifts for visiting. Whether you agree or not, I thank you for meeting me. But there is one thing the general asked me to bring to you."

"What words"

"My lord, you should think more about the future sometimes. This matter has nothing to do with the affairs of the court, nor does it have anything to do with my general. It only concerns the future of Daqin. My lord, you should consider it carefully."

"That's all?"

"Yes, then I will take my leave."

"Come and see the guests off"

"Here"

After sending the person away, Gongzi Gao was thinking in his mind that Gao Yao had specially come to invite him to the Southern Territory. Gao Yao came to him even though he was in trouble. If he really wanted him to help mediate, he should not go to the Southern Territory. This did not make much sense. However, thinking of Gao Yao's recent affairs in Xianyang, Gongzi Gao directly ordered people to prepare the carriage and went directly to the Prime Minister's residence.

However, the prime minister's residence was not in Li Si's residence, but in the residence of Feng Quji, the right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. Although Gongzi Gao did not have much ambition for power, Feng Quji was actually half of Gongzi Gao's teacher. Gongzi Gao was quite talented, and a large part of his knowledge came from Feng Quji. It was precisely because of this that the relationship between Gongzi Gao and Feng Quji was quite good.

Now, the purpose of Gongzi Gao's search for Feng Quji is to inquire about this matter, what is the reason, and why Gao Yao did this.
