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

Listening to Shang Gu's words, Tang Sheng couldn't help but frown slightly, his thick eyebrows twisted together like ink. His eyes slowly moved to Wu She who was standing aside. Wu She's face was as gloomy as water, without any expression, but he raised his hand and made an obscure gesture. Tang Sheng saw this and instantly understood what he meant.

He cleared his throat and said to Shang Gu: "In that case, please wait for a moment. I still have many soldiers and followers under my command. Even if I decide to follow the King of Qin, this matter needs to be carefully discussed. I hope you can go down and rest for a while. What do you think?"

Shang Gu thought for a moment and then said, "Of course it's fine. I'll take my leave for now."

Tang Sheng immediately turned around and ordered, "Come here! Escort the gentleman away quickly and make sure he is well settled."

A servant responded, "Yes!" and then led Shang Gu out of the main hall.

After Shang Gu left, Tang Sheng turned his gaze to Wu She again and asked impatiently: "Wu She, what do you think? Tell me quickly." It turned out that Wu She had just winked at Tang Sheng, asking him to send Shang Gu away first. It was obvious that there was something important that he wanted to explain to Tang Sheng alone.

Wu She nodded, thinking about how to start. In his eyes, Tang Sheng was not a good leader, let alone an excellent leader. Tang Sheng was not only irritable, but also reckless and impulsive. He was not calm at all and was definitely not someone who was easy to get along with.

Fortunately, Tang Sheng treated him well. Wu She naturally could not ignore many things, so he stopped Tang Sheng and thought of a way. However, the premise was that Tang Sheng had to make his ideas clear.

"Sir, Wu She would like to ask you a question. Which force do you prefer? The King of Chu who is feared by the world, or the King of Qin who is eyeing you covetously?" Hearing Wu She's direct and sharp question, Tang Sheng could not help but frowned slightly, and for a moment he fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Wu She saw that Tang Sheng had not responded yet, so he said anxiously: "My Lord, the situation is now very clear and urgent, and we can't afford any more hesitation! There are only two choices before us, either to join the King of Chu or to join the King of Qin. If we continue to be so indecisive and wavering, when both sides realize our indecision, they will surely devour us mercilessly. By then, I am afraid that we will lose even the last glimmer of hope and will never be able to turn things around! Therefore, I hope that you can make a prompt decision and seize the opportunity, and perhaps we can get some benefits and advantages from it."

After hearing this, Tang Sheng slowly raised his head, looked at Wu She with a somewhat tangled look, and asked softly: "Then according to your opinion, how should I choose?"

Wu She took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then answered without hesitation: "I think you should choose the side of the King of Chu."

When Tang Sheng heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Oh? Why do you think so?"

First, although the Southern Border Army is powerful, it has been stationed in a desolate, remote and harsh wilderness for a long time. Moreover, there will be a fierce battle between the imperial army and the Southern Border Army, and the imperial army has a greater chance of winning this war. If they surrender to the Southern Border at this time, they will face a catastrophe. You know, the imperial court has sufficient resources and sophisticated equipment, and its military strength should not be underestimated. In contrast, although the Southern Border Army is brave and good at fighting, it is located in the border after all, and there are many difficulties in logistics and supply.

Secondly, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is precious to send timely help. As far as the current situation of the Southern Border Army is concerned, even if you side with the Southern Border Army, at most it will speed up their process of conquering Minzhong, and it will not be given enough attention. On the contrary, if you choose to rely on the King of Chu, you will definitely receive generous treatment from the King of Chu. Once you help the King of Chu at a critical moment, defeat the Southern Border Army or make other outstanding military achievements, this will be an unprecedented achievement!

"Hiss... great achievement?" Hearing Wu She's words, Tang Sheng was stunned. He really couldn't understand where this so-called great achievement was. Did he really have to lead the army to fight to the death with the Southern Border Army?

"Sir, although the Southern Border Army is powerful now, it is in central Fujian after all, and the Chu Army has also entered central Fujian. As long as we contact the Chu Army and then pretend to surrender to the Southern Border Army, we can lead the Southern Border Army into the ambush circle of the Chu Army. At that time, under the two-sided attack, the Southern Border Army will definitely be severely damaged. I have already inquired about it. The commander of the Southern Border Army this time is Han Xin, an unknown person, who is very young and prone to greed for merit and recklessness."

"But given all the current circumstances, I still earnestly hope that you can make a quick decision. The longer the time is delayed, the more unexpected things will happen, and it will also be easier for the Southern Border Army to detect your true intentions!"

"Alas, how could I not understand this? But as for the court..." Tang Sheng sighed, and hesitated to speak, his face full of worry and helplessness.

"Sir, please stop harboring illusions about the imperial court. Even if the imperial army can really counterattack again one day, do you think the imperial court will still accept you? In my opinion, you'd better choose another way. Now that the southern border has sent such rich wealth, if you really don't want to defect to any side, you can take the money and defect to Xianyang while there is still time." As he said this, Wu She stared at Tang Sheng closely, his eyes showing both eagerness and a hint of imperceptible disappointment.

Seeing Tang Sheng so hesitant and indecisive, Wu She sighed inwardly. It was not because he had not given Tang Sheng advice, but because Tang Sheng, though somewhat loyal, was not completely loyal; he was always hesitant and timid when doing things. If it were not for the fact that Tang Sheng had been quite nice to him, Wu She would have left long ago.

At this moment, Tang Sheng seemed to have finally made up his mind, and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, then do as you say, quickly get in touch with the Chu army, and jointly resist the Southern Border Army!"

"Well, I will go down and contact the Chu army right away. My Lord, you just need to stabilize the envoys from the southern border. I will definitely bring you accurate information as soon as possible."

"it is good!"

At this moment, on the other side of the sea, Gao Yao stood on the bow with his head held high, and the ship he was riding was sailing on the rough sea. For Gao Yao, this battle was of great significance. Its victory or defeat was not only related to whether the many crises faced by Xiang Yu could be quickly resolved, but also directly affected the final outcome of the subsequent fierce battle with the court and even with Yi Xiaochuan.

Gao Yao was well aware of his own lack of strategic ability, but he also knew that he had excellent commanding talent. As the commander of an army, he might not have enough sophisticated strategies; but when it came to charging into battle and leading the army in battle, he was confident that he was still capable of being a general.

In addition to Han Xin who was responsible for launching a lightning attack from the front, Gao Yao decided to personally lead the navy to attack Kuaiji. However, when he was really in the vast ocean, he deeply realized that he had obviously overestimated his ability to adapt to the ocean environment.

Although they were still sailing near the coastline, there was a world of difference between the sea and the inland rivers. In particular, the strength and scale of the wind and waves far exceeded his original imagination. Whenever the waves rolled in, the ship would shake violently, as if it could be swallowed by the surging waves at any time. And the salty sea breeze, mixed with humid water vapor, blew mercilessly on his face, causing him to feel stinging.

Gao Yao had been suffering for several days, which was a torment for him. However, after unremitting efforts and adjustments, he finally managed to adapt to the current situation. At the same time, the ship they were on was gradually approaching the area of ​​Kuaiji.

At this moment, Erniu hurried to Gao Yao's side and respectfully reported to him: "My Lord, we have now arrived near Wushang County. Do we need to dock here?"

Hearing this, Gao Yao couldn't help but fall into deep thought. This time, his goal was to personally lead the navy to attack the heartland of Kuaiji by surprise. Although Wushang County is not well-known, it is only a hundred miles away from Shanyin County. Shanyin County is extraordinary. It was once the capital of Gou Jian, the King of Yue. It can be seen that the geographical location here is extremely important. Although Xiang Yu and others should be in Wu County at present, if they can successfully occupy Shanyin County, a key place, and successfully garrison it, it would be like firmly holding the throat of the entire Kuaiji area. In this way, not only can we take the strategic initiative, but also pose a great threat to the enemy.

"It's better to dock sooner rather than later!"

"Here"

Following Gao Yao's order, Erniu quickly ran to the platform and began to hold up the colorful flags in his hands. These flags of different colors could express different meanings such as attack, defense, retreat, etc. Especially on the sea, it was unrealistic to rely on manpower to shout.

If someone was standing on the shore and watching, they would be able to see that Gao Yao's fleet looked like a long black dragon from afar, full of momentum.

Fan Zeng's reaction was very fast, but Kuaiji still had a long coastline. Even if Xiang Yu brought cavalry, it was impossible to safely deploy defenses everywhere. There was also a focus of defense, which was Wu County, where the county seat was located. After suffering a loss at the hands of Gao Yao last time, Xiang Yu's main defense position was still near the coastal county town closest to Wu County.

This is also to avoid Gao Yao's direct raid on Wu County to the greatest extent possible. After all, this is his hometown, and this location absolutely cannot be lost.
