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

At this time, Erniu rushed back from the front. Although there were only a hundred people on the march, it was still inevitable to send people to investigate the situation. The previous incident with Xiang Yu had already reminded Gao Yao that he still had a huge gap in this regard. If it was not Xiang Yu who came to ambush him, but someone else, he would definitely not get any benefit from this trip. Even if he could break through, he would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Gao Yao could only act as cautiously as possible. He wanted to leave directly, but it had been nearly ten days since he left Xianyang. Even if Gao Yao himself could bear it, his personal soldiers might not be able to. Although they had received strict training, they were still human. If they continued to toss like this, they would probably collapse before the enemy even arrived.

"Well, let's go to Pei County to rest and then go and inform the county magistrate directly."

"Here"

After hearing Gao Yao's instructions, Erniu immediately led more than ten personal soldiers to Pei County. Although Gao Yao was still not particularly prominent in Xianyang according to his official position at that time, it was different in Pei County. This was definitely something that the ordinary county magistrate could not easily achieve. He could assassinate Gao Yao, but it would be uncomfortable for him to do so openly.

When Gao Yao entered Pei County, County Magistrate Chang had already been waiting at the city gate. There was no way. Gao Yao's status was different now. A few years ago, Gao Yao was just a county soldier, but now he has become a general with great power in the southern border. Such a big gap has long been clear to him. If he had known earlier how good it would be to follow Gao Yao, even if he did not follow Gao Yao now, he would never offend him. After all, he has reached this point at such a young age.

Especially since he had almost watched Gao Yao reach his current position, County Magistrate Chang was not stupid and naturally knew what to do.

"General Gao Yao, I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you are well."

"Sir Chang, you are too polite. I am sorry to bother you. Could you please prepare some food for my soldiers?"

At the city gate, Gao Yao exchanged a few words with County Magistrate Chang before entering Pei County. When Gao Yao led his men into Pei County, someone immediately took away the things here and went directly into the mountains and forests just a dozen miles away from Pei County.

A stronghold had already been built in this forest a long time ago, and the total number of people was close to 500, which was definitely not a small number.

"Mr. Liu, a general has come from Pei County, his name is Gao Yao."

In a courtyard in the mountain stronghold, Liu Bang, who was drinking tea, listened to his subordinates' report. His eyes changed slightly immediately. He never thought that Gao Yao would take the initiative to come to him.

Liu Bang lived near the northern border for a whole year, and he was worried every day for fear of being surrounded by the imperial army. Fortunately, because of the corvée and the money left by Yi Xiaochuan, Liu Bang quickly gained a foothold by relying on his brain and eloquence. Liu Bang was also very smart. Although Yi Xiaochuan left a sum of money, it would be spent sooner or later.

Recruiting escaped corvées, buying some weapons, and then starting to become a bandit. However, becoming a bandit also has a lot of considerations. Is it just for a meal, or to become as big and strong as possible? Liu Bang is undoubtedly the latter.

While Gao Yao was growing stronger, Liu Bang was not idle either. When there were only a dozen of them, they specialized in robbing passing merchants. When the number of people grew to dozens, they would take the initiative to target some small bandit organizations, devour them, take in those who were willing to stay, and kill those who were unwilling to stay, and then completely occupy a certain area.

Then they sent people to negotiate with some nobles nearby. If the goods wanted to pass smoothly, they had to pay a part of the toll. Then not only would they not be robbed, but they would also be protected. By this way of annexation, development, and expansion, in just one year, the team had grown to more than 500 people.

However, Liu Bang was not satisfied at this time, but kept sending people to inquire about the news about Pei County. It was not until he was sure that Gao Yao had reached the southern border that Liu Bang finally dared to return to Sishui County.

But he just rushed back to Sishui County. Liu Bang was different from Yi Xiaochuan, and even Xiang Yu. Not many people knew Yi Xiaochuan, and there were certain deviations in the ancient portraits. It would be difficult to recognize him after a little disguise. Xiang Yu had always been trained by Xiang Liang alone. Except for his own people, few people knew Xiang Yu's reputation, let alone the reputation of an unparalleled overlord throughout the ages. Now Xiang Yu was just a young general.

Liu Bang was different. He lived in Pei County, and many people in Pei County knew him. So it was impossible for him to go back. Liu Bang also knew this situation, but he still resolutely returned to the vicinity of Pei County.

Although there were shortcomings, there were also many advantages. That is, many people were willing to follow Liu Bang. Among them was Fan Kuai, who Gao Yao wanted to poach at the time. Unfortunately, the two of them were childhood friends. Fan Kuai would naturally not betray Liu Bang. He traveled thousands of miles to join Liu Bang and followed Liu Bang back to the vicinity of Pei County.

"How many people did the other party bring?"

“Less than 100 people”

"Gao Yao! Okay, okay, I finally got the chance to take revenge. Send someone to monitor Gao Yao immediately to find out why he came and when he will leave. Don't let him escape."

"Here"

Liu Bang chose to come back in order to develop in a place he was familiar with, recruit people, and grow stronger. It would definitely not work for the Qin Dynasty to continue like this. It must accumulate strength in advance and make a breakthrough.

The person who brought him to this point was naturally Gao Yao. Liu Bang remembered this very clearly and would not easily let go of such a good opportunity.

"Fan Kuai, where is Fan Kuai?"

"Brother, what's wrong?"

As Liu Bang called out, Fan Kuai finally ran over. He looked at Liu Bang with a puzzled look on his face. After all, he had already become a bandit, so he didn't care about the way he addressed him. He just called him "big brother".

"Get ready immediately. A large number of bows and arrows, as well as manpower. Gao Yao has appeared. This time, we must not let him leave Pei County."

"What, Gao Yao showed up? Great, that's great, big brother, don't worry, I will definitely kill Gao Yao for you this time."

At the same time, Gao Yao in Pei County had returned to his mansion. There were no servants in the mansion at this time, and Gao Yao asked all the personnel and horses to prepare for rest, and buried the deceased soldiers with honor.
