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

At this moment, a bright moon hung high in the night sky, and the watery moonlight fell on the earth, as if covering the world with a layer of silver gauze. Under the cover of this quiet night, Long Qie led his elite cavalry team, quietly opened the city gate, and filed out. The direction they chose to march was exactly opposite to the southern border army camp, which was to deliberately avoid the eyes and ears of the southern border army.

Long Ju was well aware of the importance and danger of this operation, so he decided to take a roundabout route to attack Han Xin's camp unexpectedly. In order to ensure that everything went well, he first sent out several experienced and agile scouts to scout the specific situation of the southern border army camp.

After an intense investigation, the spies brought back important intelligence. It turned out that the entire southern border army camp was cleverly divided into four areas by Han Xin. The camp in the center was the central army tent where Han Xin was stationed.

The other three camps were distributed around the camp, forming a stable triangle formation, which tightly protected the central army tent in the core position. This formation was one of the tactics often used by ancient armies when marching and fighting in the wild, and its purpose was to prevent sudden attacks from the enemy. Because no matter which direction the enemy launched an attack from, it would inevitably encounter pincer attacks from at least two directions. It seemed to be at a disadvantage, but in fact it was an extremely solid defense system.

If you think about it carefully, this tactical layout is similar to the three county towns arranged in a triangular shape planned by Fan Zeng. They all build an indestructible line of defense through reasonable layout and mutual response.

Now that he had accurate information, although Long Qie was not very strategic, he knew that he could not fight head-on. He waved the flag in his hand without hesitation and issued an order decisively: send 500 elite cavalry to attack the enemy's vanguard camp with a thunderous force; the rest of the cavalry followed closely behind and detoured to the rear of the enemy according to the predetermined plan and wait for orders.

As time went by, the night became darker, as if a huge black curtain covered the earth. When the time came to the hour of the ox, a fire suddenly lit up in the quiet night sky. It was the burning torches in the hands of the five hundred cavalrymen of the Chu Army. They were like a fire dragon, rushing towards the vanguard camp of the Southern Border Army at lightning speed while setting fire and creating chaos.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

At this moment, the soldiers of the vanguard camp were like beasts that had been suppressed for a long time and finally released. They roared at the top of their lungs, as if to vent all the pressure and humiliation they had endured throughout the day. Every soldier's face was filled with anger and determination. They stared with wide eyes, waving their weapons with cold light in their hands, and rushed towards the vanguard camp of the Southern Border Army without hesitation, like a surging torrent.

Facing this sudden attack, the vanguard camp of the Southern Border Army was obviously caught off guard. They hastily shot a few arrows symbolically, but these arrows seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the powerful momentum of the Chu Army's charge.

At the same time, the panicked soldiers of the Southern Border Army were shouting loudly in panic: "Enemy attack, enemy attack..." However, it was too late. The Chu Army's cavalry had swept in like a storm.

At this moment, the camp was in chaos. Many soldiers had not even put on their armor yet, and they were running around like headless flies. This scene made the Chu army more excited, and they were more certain that this sneak attack was completely unexpected by the Southern Border Army. So, the Chu army rushed directly into the Southern Border Army's vanguard camp without hesitation.

"Kill!" With a roar that resounded through the sky, the heavy gate of the camp was completely broken down in an instant. More than 500 Chu cavalrymen rushed into the vanguard camp like a surging torrent. They had a clear goal and rushed straight towards the tents in the center of the camp, as if they wanted to raze this area to the ground.

However, at this moment, Tian Hu, the vanguard officer of the Southern Border Army, who was in the big tent of the vanguard camp, seemed particularly calm and composed. He was wearing a bright and dazzling armor, standing there majestically, without any sign of tiredness or slackness. Inside the big tent, there were many soldiers who were also wearing armor and holding weapons. From their posture of being ready for battle, it can be seen that there was no sign of rest here.

"Come here! Go and report to General Han Xin immediately. The enemy's attack is just a feint. Their main force must have quietly moved to the rear!" Tian Hu stared at the situation in the camp with a serious expression. After he carefully confirmed the number of enemy troops that had rushed into the vanguard camp, he understood the situation clearly and gave orders without hesitation.

Han Xin had a plan for this battle. If the enemy came out in full force and rushed into the vanguard camp, then he would just have to open the way and let them attack the central camp. If the enemy only sent a small number of troops to make a feint attack, then there was no doubt that there was a conspiracy to attack the main camp. In this case, he would have to adopt another strategy.

"Yes!" Following a reply, a soldier followed the order and immediately turned around and left the tent, running towards the main camp with quick and firm steps, not daring to delay for even a moment, and making sure to pass on this important military information to Han Xin as soon as possible.

At the same time, Tian Hu did not stop for a moment. He looked fierce and shouted again: "Everyone else, listen up. Beat the war drums immediately and don't let anyone go, so as not to disrupt General Han Xin's carefully arranged plan to lure the enemy!"

"Yes!" All the soldiers responded in unison. The reason why Tian Hu was appointed as the vanguard officer was because he had a very good vision.

Moreover, Tian Hu has a special identity. He was originally a farmer among the Hundred Schools of Thought. He was attracted to the South Territory because the South Territory vigorously promoted planting and had various advanced planting experiences and advanced seedlings. He took the initiative to find Gao Yao and stated his identity, wanting to join Gao Yao. Although Tian Hu was a farmer, he only had a basic understanding of various farming matters and did not really do much. He just believed in the thinking and ideas of farmers more.

When he found out that Gao Yao attached great importance to the development of commerce, he made many suggestions. Gao Yao was more straightforward. He used the real reactions of the people, as well as the real benefits of defending the city, to make Tian Hu understand the importance of commerce. Because of his extraordinary military strength, Tian Hu was placed in the army by Gao Yao, and he has been the vanguard officer until now.

Gao Yao never underestimated the various schools of thought, especially the agricultural school. He believed in following the will of the people, being loyal to the people, being cautious and prudent, and providing disaster relief. The core idea of ​​the agricultural school was that agriculture was the basis and business was the end. Before Qin Shihuang became emperor, the status of the agricultural school was very important in the Qin Dynasty. It can be said that before the Legalists began to be used by Qin Shihuang, the agricultural school had always dominated the Qin Dynasty. It was not until Qin Shihuang became emperor that the Legalists gradually became the mainstream, and the agricultural school faded out of the court.

The agriculturalists in the pre-Qin period advocated "agriculture as the basis and commerce as the end", pushing the rulers to establish this basic national policy and promoting social recognition of this value concept. Agriculturalists believed that agriculture was the foundation and source of all wealth, and if a country wanted to be stable and prosperous, it must vigorously develop agriculture. Commerce, on the other hand, was the root cause of the destruction and loss of social wealth. Merchants did not create wealth, but only took other people's products, bought cheap and sold expensive, and made a profit from it. At the same time, merchants also had to eat and wear clothes, and they had to consume a lot of grain and cloth produced by farmers. Not only that, farmers worked hard but gained little, while merchants paid less and gained more. This contrast and comparison would cause the loss of agricultural labor.

Agriculture is the basic means to ensure the survival of the people. The country is based on the people, and the people depend on grain for their lives. If the people have no grain, the country will lose its foundation. Therefore, the development of agricultural production must be placed in an important position. Pearls, jade, gold, silver and the like cannot be eaten or worn, and are of no value to the people who are hungry and cold.

The farmers also believed that a strong army was the fundamental guarantee for national stability. In the pre-Qin period, the most important thing for the army was sufficient food and a stable source of soldiers, both of which needed to be provided by developing agriculture. Encouraging the people to farm would make the people simple and honest, making it easier for the rulers to use and use them; encouraging the people to farm would also make the people behave properly, reduce the chances of forming cliques and plotting rebellion, bind the people to the land, prevent them from migrating at will, thereby ensuring the implementation of government orders and reducing social instability.

And most people in the world only know that the unification of the writing system, the writing system, and even the weights and measures were decided by Qin Shihuang and implemented by Li Si, and the unification of weights and measures was the first step. The first to come up with this idea were the agriculturalists, not the legalists. Of course, the agriculturalists' policies could not be all right, otherwise they would not have been banned. All the agriculturalists' ideas had a fatal premise, that is, they demanded too much from the monarch. It was okay when the country was developing, but once the country developed to a certain level, how could the emperor still be selfless and do everything for the people?

This is also the reason why the peasants basically said goodbye to the court after the establishment of the Qin Dynasty. On the one hand, it is a system problem, and on the other hand, it is impossible for someone to support them forever.

Another reason why Gao Yao valued Tian Hu was because he could use Tian Hu's relationship to find more promising talents for himself. Gao Yao was indeed lacking in talent.

At this time in the vanguard camp, as the soldiers of the Chu army rushed to the vicinity of the tents and prepared to set fire to the tents, in the blink of an eye, a large number of Southern Border soldiers suddenly rushed out of countless tents. Each of them was wearing armor and armed with spears. The first moment they rushed out of the tents, they stabbed the nearby Chu soldiers off their horses. This scene immediately shocked the rest of the Chu army. They understood that they had fallen into a trap!
