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

Although the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan had already regarded Gao Yao as an equal, he did not expect Gao Yao's revenge to be so quick and so cruel. He could roughly guess the reason for Yi Xiaochuan's departure. He was simply worried that he would get rid of Fusu after his return. It must be said that he was smart enough. In fact, he could have gotten rid of Yi Xiaochuan, Zhao Gao, earlier and used him as a bargaining chip to win over Li Si.

However, considering that he still needed someone to stay in the palace, he did not take action first for the time being. However, he did not expect Yi Xiaochuan to be very smart and guessed that he might take action in advance and ran away. This was beyond his expectations, but he did not take this matter to heart. At this time, Yi Xiaochuan did not even have the elixir of immortality, so it did not matter even if he was hiding all the time.

However, the matter of the uprising must not be taken lightly. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are not to be feared. What is to be feared is that the two of them will lead the whole world into turmoil. By that time, there will be rebels everywhere, and the court will have no time to take care of the affairs in the southern border. If there is a decree, whether Gao Yao listens or not will not have any impact.

The reason why he thought so was that in his eyes, the Southern Territory was indeed well developed by Gao Yao, but the garrison troops were not loyal and betrayed the Qin Dynasty, so the combat effectiveness of the army would inevitably drop significantly. The key point was that apart from Gao Yao, the Southern Territory general Ren Xiong was already living in Xianyang, and another wise general Zhao Tuo had also been captured by Gao Yao, so there was definitely no chance for cooperation.

Gao Yao's open reserves, military strength, and even generals were nothing to show for it. Although he was curious about the origins of many of Gao Yao's things, he ultimately did not consider Gao Yao's existence system. Moreover, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Han Xin and others all had aliases under Gao Yao's command. Except for those close to him, they were all called aliases by others.

Although the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan paid attention to Gao Yao, he had never been to the southern border in person. He only relied on some intelligence. Naturally, he didn't know how far Gao Yao had come, how well he had developed, how many capable people were around him, and he didn't even know that the Four Elders of Shangshan were abducted by Gao Yao to the southern border.

Now we have to find a way to deal with this matter. First of all, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang must be suppressed. Thinking of this, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan stood up, left the mansion, and went straight to Zhang Han's mansion.

Zhang Han was a little surprised when he heard that Meng Yi was coming, but he was a veteran of the battlefield after all, so he quickly regained his composure and met with Meng Yi.

Of course, according to the Qin Dynasty's military merit system, Zhang Han's status was still higher than Meng Yi's. After the two met, they exchanged greetings.

"General Zhang Han, how are you?" Meng Yi bowed.

"General Meng Yi, it's been a long time since we last met. I suddenly came to visit you today. What's the important matter you want to discuss?" Zhang Han asked politely. At this moment, Zhang Han was still a little confused, wondering what the purpose of Meng Yi's visit was.

At this time, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan did not waste any time and directly handed the letter in his hand to Zhang Han: "The military situation is urgent, and the official messenger will arrive tomorrow."

Zhang Han took the letter, opened it, and his expression instantly became serious. "What! This... uprising, 30,000 troops, how is this possible..."

When Zhang Han saw the words on the letter, his eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

"General Zhang Han, I also hope this is false, but this is indeed true. Prince Fusu has not returned yet, but this matter cannot be delayed. I would like to ask the general to go and suppress the rebels first. We must not let the rebels become stronger again."

"But, now your majesty has... the young master has not returned yet, if you send out troops without authorization..." Zhang Han did not suspect that the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was lying. After all, there was no need to lie about such things. The key point was that the new emperor had not officially ascended the throne yet. If he sent out troops without authorization at this time, wouldn't it be the same as saying that he had his own troops?

"General, rest assured. I will explain the situation to you. As long as you agree, I will immediately report to the Prime Minister and General Wang Ben and explain the situation. Then I will dispatch troops to quell the rebellion."

"This..." Zhang Han knew in his heart that sending troops to quell the rebellion would require taking certain risks and responsibilities, but he also understood that if the rebellion was allowed to spread, it would bring greater disaster to the country.

"General, although the young master has not officially succeeded to the throne, you should be clear about his character. I, Meng Yi, am willing to guarantee you, please rest assured. Moreover, the uprising has only lasted for more than a month, and now we have captured 16 counties in succession, covering Yuyang, Julu, and even Handan. There are rebels responding now. Time is very urgent now. If these rebels are allowed to gather together, the number will reach at least 60,000. Speed ​​is of the essence, general!"

At this time, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan spoke in a very anxious manner, as if he was really worried about the country and the people, and his tone was firm and sincere. However, Zhang Han was not stupid enough to ask why Meng Yi himself did not go, because if Meng Yi left Xianyang, then whether Fusu dared to return would become a huge question.

Zhang Han took a deep breath and answered firmly: "Okay, for the sake of the peace of Daqin, I am willing to go with General Meng Yi and explain the situation in detail to the Prime Minister and General Wang Ben"

After hearing this, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan showed a satisfied smile on his face and said, "This is naturally the best."

He knew that although Zhang Han had agreed, he still had doubts, so he decided to go with Li Si and General Wang Ben to explain. After all, this not only concerned the future of the Qin Dynasty, but also was a rare opportunity for him to demonstrate his loyalty and ability.

Zhang Han knew the importance of this operation. If he succeeded in suppressing the rebellion, he would surely gain great merit. Especially when Fusu had just ascended the throne, his ability to quickly resolve the civil strife would undoubtedly impress the new emperor. However, to ensure that everything was foolproof, he also needed the support of someone who had enough weight. As an important general in the court, Meng Yi naturally had the corresponding qualifications. However, Zhang Han had no friendship with Meng Yi and could not fully trust each other. In contrast, Li Si and Wang Ben just met this condition. Their status and influence were enough to ensure that things went smoothly.

On the other hand, Gao Yao had just returned to the southern border at this time, and at the same time, the news of the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising began to spread to all directions of the Qin Dynasty, especially the phrase "Are there any kings, princes, generals or ministers of different races?", which directly ignited the emotions of various places. The news of Qin Shihuang's death came first, and the peasants' uprising came right after, as if it had been rehearsed long ago.
