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

Gao Yao was also puzzled at this time. Meng Tian's death was indeed beyond his expectations. Moreover, Meng Tian's death and Yi Xiaochuan were in the northern border. These two things always made Gao Yao think of one thing.

Before, they were completely relieved because with Meng Tian around, the Northern Border Army was unlikely to move recklessly. After all, they still had to guard against the Huns. But now that he has suddenly died, the entire 300,000-strong army has fallen into Yi Xiaochuan's hands. Add in Fusu who is still in the Northern Border, and the meaning is completely different.

Yi Xiaochuan's personality has changed drastically, and with the cooperation of Beiyanshanren, it is hard to say what he will do. In addition, this sudden and almost crazy act of assassinating him also shows that the other party will do anything to achieve his goal.

"My Lord... My Lord..."

While Gao Yao was thinking, Xiao He had already stepped into the courtyard. Gao Yao waved to Xiao He and immediately handed him the information. When Xiao He saw the information, a look of shock appeared on his face.

Meng Tian's role in the northern border of the Qin Dynasty was not that simple. He was also a special person who could deter the Xiongnu. There were not many people who could deter foreign races, especially the Xiongnu. However, Meng Tian drove the Xiongnu northward, recovered Henan, and built 44 county towns along the river, using the river as a barrier, and relocated the exiled people to live. He also supervised the construction of the Great Wall and the Straight Road. The Great Wall starts from Lintao in the west and ends at Liaodong in the east, stretching for more than miles. During this period, he had already fought against the Xiongnu and had already made a great reputation. Once Meng Tian died, there was no guarantee that the Xiongnu would not be ready to move.

Dealing with the Xiongnu was completely different from dealing with the southern border. The southern border was managed by naturalization. As long as Gao Yao's decrees continued to be implemented, he would not oppose the customs of the local people of Nanyue, but insisted on promoting the customs, language, culture, and habits of the Central Plains. With good treatment and management, no one in Nanyue would be bored and cause trouble.

The people of Nanyue are also human beings. In the final analysis, except for some people who are greedy for power, most ordinary people in Nanyue also want to live a stable life. Who wants to live in a house exposed to the wind and sun? On the other hand, the Huns were different. They did not continue to attack because they felt that they could not beat Meng Tian, ​​or they were simply no match for the Qin Dynasty. They were already scared, but it did not mean that they really did not want to continue the war.

"How about it?"

"My Lord, you are worried about the Northern Border Army..." As soon as Xiao He saw the content of the message, he understood Gao Yao's worries.

"Well, although I don't get along with the Meng family, to be honest, I still admire Meng Tian. It is true that he has conquered hundreds of miles, expanded the territory and repelled foreign races, and has made outstanding contributions. But now that the power has fallen into the hands of Yi Xiaochuan, I am really worried that he might take the Northern Border Army away from the Northern Border in one go."

Gao Yao did not have a saintly mentality, but this incident was indeed an exception. Even after Liu Bang became emperor, the first thing he did was to stabilize the northern border, but he failed. In the end, he started the process of marrying people from other ethnic groups. From here on, marrying people from other ethnic groups seemed to have become a norm for the imperial family, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty that it was completely changed.

But that was in the original history after all. The Northern Frontier Army had always been watching the Huns. Now if the Northern Frontier Army was gone, things would naturally be completely different. Once the situation was clarified, the Huns would most likely invade the Central Plains again.

"My Lord, I don't think so. It's too far to move a large army from the north to the south. It's not realistic."

"What if the other side is moving troops to Xianyang?"

"Heading to Xianyang? My Lord, what you mean is that the Northern Border Army will be dispatched to Xianyang and then replace the Imperial Guards, and the Imperial Guards will be used to attack the Southern Border?"

After Gao Yao's reminder, Xiao He immediately thought of the reason and frowned as he pondered. Gao Yao also felt embarrassed. After all, he had already calculated other things, but he didn't expect Meng Tian to die so suddenly and so strangely. It's not that Meng Tian couldn't die, but the time of his death was too coincidental.

Now that Qin Shi Huang was dead, he originally wanted to leave a mess in Xianyang, but the Northern Border Army was in Yi Xiaochuan's hands. If the other party insisted on supporting Fusu to take the throne, he could completely transfer the Northern Border Army back to Xianyang in the name of escorting Fusu back to Xianyang to accept the throne.

Gao Yao's original plan was that once Qin Shi Huang died, the imperial court would inevitably be in chaos. In order to prevent Bei Yan Shanren from taking power, he deliberately divided the relationship between Zhao Gao and Li Si. At the same time, he allowed Wang Ben to remain by Qin Shi Huang's side and control the greatest military power in order to prevent either of them from becoming too powerful and having the final say.

As long as the other party does not have absolute say, Xianyang will fall into chaos in the short term. Even if the emperor's successor is introduced, it will not be possible to achieve a balance in all aspects. Wang Ben controls the military power of Xianyang, Li Si controls the political power, and Yi Xiaochuan, a hermit from Beiyan, controls the army in the north and Fusu, the first heir.

If Meng Tian was still alive, in order to break this situation, Fusu would have to successfully inherit the throne first, or other princes would have to inherit the throne before they could mobilize troops. Without Meng Tian, ​​Yi Xiaochuan would have the final say and could directly protect Fusu and march towards Xianyang. As long as there was some delay, even Li Si would not be able to stop Fusu from successfully inheriting the throne. Once Fusu came to power, Li Si would not be that important.

This is also the dilemma Gao Yao is feeling now. If conditions permit, he does not want Fusu to take the throne. Even in the case of mutual restraint in Gao Yao's original plan, it is very likely that another older prince will be chosen to succeed the throne. However, if the name is not right, the words will not go smoothly. This is actually a good thing for Gao Yao.

"My Lord, do you still remember Chen Sheng and Wu Guang whom you found?"

At this time, Xiao He suddenly said something. Gao Yao was also stunned when he heard this. He didn't quite understand what Xiao He meant for a while.

"All the inferences made by the lord are the considerations after the death of the Qin Emperor. If this is the consideration, then when the lord arrested Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, didn't he also say that these two people have a certain prestige? In this case, the lord can also support them. It is not a problem for the lord to divide up hundreds of thousands of stones of grain."

"Hmm? Oh! Xiao He, you really are terrifyingly smart!"

After hearing these words, Gao Yao's eyes widened instantly, and he immediately understood what Xiao He meant. He was trying to tell him to use Xiao He's power to lay eggs!
