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

Although Gao Yao said this, he was deeply moved by the various methods used by the court. These methods have developed to the point of using both overt and covert means and using every possible means. Obviously, the opponent has fallen into a state of madness and will do anything to achieve his goal.

At this moment, seeing Gao Yao getting up and leaving, Han Xin could no longer hold back and said hurriedly, "My lord, I have something to tell you."

Gao Yao paused for a moment, turned his head, and looked at Han Xin. He said in a deep voice, "You can talk as you like."

Han Xin said: "My lord, after the battle of Kuaiji, the Chu army was severely injured and no longer has the strength to fight our army again. Therefore, Han Xin implores my lord to return to the southern border first and stabilize the morale of the army as the top priority."

Gao Yao frowned when he heard this and asked, "Oh? Didn't you vow before that there was no need to worry about Xiao He? Why did you change your mind now?"

Han Xin quickly explained, "My lord, what I fear is not Lord Xiao He, but someone trying to stir up trouble in the name of Master Gao. In addition, there is one person you must not forget, and that is Lord Feng Quji. He is still in the southern border. Although the King of Qin is under your close surveillance, there will inevitably be changes. I am worried that there will be suspicion of a false attack."

Gao Yao thought for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by the strategy of confusing the enemy with a new one? Please tell me in detail."

Han Xin bowed and said, "My lord, please think about it. What if Lord Xiao He and Lord Cao Shen did it on purpose? My lord, you can entrust the overall situation to Xiao He and Cao Shen, which naturally shows your trust in them. Of course, if they rebel, it will be a devastating blow to you, but this possibility should be very small. For example, my lord, Wang Li and Zhang Han in the court are both powerful generals of the court army. You also know this. So, will you waste time recruiting them?"

"This... Of course not! If they really betrayed the court, there would be no need for the court to send troops to attack the southern border. I'm afraid they would collapse and fall apart on their own!" After hearing this, Gao Yao finally realized the key problem.

This way of doing things may seem to lack careful consideration at first glance, but with the wisdom and strategy of Beiyanshanren, it is impossible to be so stupid. After all, the person who can truly control the imperial army is definitely not a young man like Yi Xiaochuan, but must be the hidden Beiyanshanren.

Although the two sides had never met before, Gao Yao had already understood through those invisible battles - this Beiyan Mountain Man was definitely not someone who would easily waste time and energy on useless things. If he really acted like this, it would be hard to explain unless there was a bigger conspiracy behind it. Thinking of this, Gao Yao frowned, secretly speculating in his heart what exactly this conspiracy was for? What kind of earth-shaking changes would it bring to the situation?

"That's it. My lord, you are so smart that you can see through the mystery at a glance. However, there are many capable people in the court, and naturally there are people who can see through such things. In this case, why did he go to such great lengths to send people here to die in vain? Therefore, I dare to speculate whether there is such a possibility - all of this is just a carefully designed trap! And their real target should perhaps be Master Gao!"

"Young Master Gao? That's unlikely. I'm surrounded by my most trusted people, both inside and outside. Those outsiders have no chance of coming into contact with Young Master Gao at all." Gao Yao shook his head, obviously disagreeing with this statement.

"It is indeed difficult for others to do so, but Feng Quji is a person whom you, my lord, have personally agreed to approach. Although Feng Quji is nominally only assisting Lord Xiao He, you, my lord, attach great importance to him and give him a certain say. This is your kindness to Feng Quji, but this is exactly what I am worried about. If Feng Quji has ill intentions..."

Han Xin thought to himself that he could have kept his words to himself. After all, Gao Yao had warned him about Cao Shen just a moment ago. However, Han Xin knew that this matter was serious and he could not remain silent. Even if it angered Gao Yao and caused him to be blamed, he would not hesitate.

At this moment, Gao Yao stood there quietly, silent. As for Xiao He, he believed that he had enough confidence to control his thoughts and movements, but when it came to Feng Quji, the situation became complicated. Although Feng Quji was not the kind of stubborn and ignorant person, the nominal emperor in the court was Fusu, not Hu Hai in the original history. If he really colluded with Feng Quji secretly and promised to lure him with the high position of prime minister, who could guarantee that the former prime minister would not be tempted?

Thinking of this, Gao Yao couldn't help but frowned. "Well, the affairs of Kuaiji are now entirely entrusted to you. I will lead my personal soldiers to rush back to Nanhai County immediately. Where is Kong Gang?"

Kong Gang heard this and did not dare to be negligent. He hurried to Gao Yao's side in two steps, bowed respectfully, and said loudly: "What do you want, my lord?"

Gao Yao nodded, looked at Kong Gang with sparkling eyes, and said solemnly: "Well, for the next thing, you must do your best to assist General Han. You must clear the Kuaiji area as soon as possible. After the matter is done, you don't need to mobilize troops to return to the southern border. Instead, you need to stay where you are and be ready to send troops to Minzhong at any time so that you can solve problems for the southern border from the flank. This matter is of great importance and must not be taken lightly!"

Kong Gang clasped his fists and said, "Yes! I will definitely fulfill my mission and do my best to assist General Han in completing the important task entrusted by my lord."

Gao Yao nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Han Xin who was standing beside him with a heroic look, and said in a deep voice: "Han Xin, the battle in Kuaiji is now fully handed over to you for command and dispatch. The situation is now clear. Xiang Yu will either retreat and give up Kuaiji, or he will fight to the death and hold on to this place. If this battle really breaks out, we must capture him alive no matter what. Even if he is missing arms and legs, as long as he is still alive, you must bring him back to me. I will still kill him. Do you understand?"

Han Xin bowed his hands and accepted the order, and replied loudly: "Yes! I obey the order. Please rest assured, my lord, I will live up to your high expectations!"

At this time, a burly, strong man came forward with big strides. This man was Erniu. He knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and shouted loudly: "My lord, the personal army camp has been assembled and can set off to Nanhai County at any time!"

After hearing what Erniu said, Gao Yao's slightly tired but still dignified face showed a touch of satisfaction, and he nodded slightly, expressing his approval of Erniu's performance. Erniu has indeed become more clever and sensible now, as if he can read Gao Yao's unspoken thoughts deep in his heart. Whenever Gao Yao has any hints or overtones in his words, Erniu can always quickly understand and make corresponding preparations in advance. His high efficiency is commendable.

Gao Yao knew that time was running out and he could not afford to delay. Although he had just experienced an extremely fierce battle, the matter in the southern border was of vital importance and could not be delayed. So he decided to set off immediately without hesitation. Although he still had some injuries on his body, it was not a big problem for Gao Yao who had the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra to protect his body. With this magical skill, his body's recovery speed was much faster than that of ordinary people, and these minor injuries could not stop him from moving forward.

As for Gao Yao's special instruction to Han Xin that if Xiang Yu insisted on fighting to the death, he should leave him a breath, there was actually another reason. When Han Xin reported the battle situation to Gao Yao, he mentioned that Long Ju died in the battle.

Gao Yao was surprised that he did not receive the proper reward for this. This situation reminded him of a past event - in the original historical process, Long Qie's death was inextricably linked to Han Xin. Although Long Qie's death cannot be attributed entirely to Han Xin, it is undeniable that Han Xin played a key role in it.

In the original history, Peng Yue was roaming around in Wei, cutting off the food and money of the Chu army. Han Xin broke through Qi. Xiang Yu appointed Xiang Tuo as the general, Zhou Lan as the deputy general, and Long Ju as the deputy general to send troops to rescue Qi. The Chu army claimed to have 200,000 troops.

Long Ju and Tian Guang, the king of Qi, joined forces to fight Han Xin, but before the battle began, someone advised Long Ju: The Han army had fought over long distances, pursued relentlessly, and had been through many battles. Their morale was sharp and unstoppable. The soldiers of Qi and Chu were fighting in their own hometowns, so it was easy for them to desert and retreat. It would be better to strengthen the city walls and let Tian Guang, the king of Qi, send his trusted ministers to call on the cities that had surrendered. When those cities heard that the king of Qi was still alive and the Chu army was coming to rescue them, they would definitely fight back against the Han army. The Han army had traveled 2,000 miles to live in Qi, and the cities in Qi were against them. They would definitely not be able to obtain military supplies, so they could win without fighting.

However, Long Ju did not believe it. Instead, he thought that Han Xin was eating and drinking from the laundry lady, had no ability to support himself, was humiliated by crawling under someone's crotch, and had no courage to defeat others. In addition, he wanted to make achievements, so he decided to go to war with Han Xin.

The armies of Long Qie and Han Xin were arrayed across the Wei River. Han Xin ordered people to make more than 10,000 bags at night, filled with sand to block the upper reaches of the Wei River, and led the army into the center of the Wei River to attack Long Qie, pretending that he could not win and retreated. Long Qie thought Han Xin was timid, so he led the pursuit and waded across the Wei River. Han Xin sent people to remove the blocked sand bags, and the river water surged. Most of Long Qie's follow-up troops could not get through, and Han Xin quickly ordered an attack on the Chu army to kill Long Qie. This time, under a different situation, Long Qie still died at the hands of Han Xin, and it was essentially a problem, despising Han Xin,
