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

So although Zhang Liang was moved, he did not hastily decide to join Gao Yao. Instead, he began to pay close attention to the movements of various princes in the world, hoping to find a wise leader worthy of his wholehearted assistance.

At first, the ambitious Zhang Liang also tried to raise a team himself to fight against Qin. However, reality is always cruel and ruthless. He tried his best and ran around to make a call, but the result was disappointing - he could not recruit many people willing to follow him. Not to mention a head-on confrontation with the extremely powerful Qin Dynasty, even wanting to fight against those uprisings was extremely difficult. After all, an outstanding counselor may not necessarily become a successful monarch.

Furthermore, Zhang Liang did not have enough food and military supplies to support his uprising. Faced with such a predicament, even though he was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to give up.

The key reason for Zhang Liang's appearance here was the letter from Huang Shi Gong, also known as Cui Guang, the Xia Huang Gong, one of the Four Haos of Shangshan. It was after receiving this letter that Zhang Liang resolutely embarked on the journey to the southern border.

Zhang Liang had arrived in the southern border several days ago, but he did not rush to meet Gao Yao. Instead, he followed the arrangements made by the Four Elders of Shangshan and began to learn about the situation in the southern border in a comprehensive and in-depth manner. As he learned more and more about the southern border, Zhang Liang was more and more shocked.

The people here live a very rich life. Most people can not only solve the problem of food and clothing, but also have spare energy to pursue knowledge and culture. Many children can go to school to receive education, and adults also have the opportunity to read and learn. The entire southern border presents a scene of peace and harmony. It is really appropriate to describe this place as "peace and harmony".

Seeing this scene, Zhang Liang couldn't help but recall the Korea he had hoped for. At that time, he hoped that Korea could develop into such a prosperous country with happy people. However, reality is always cruel and ruthless. The Qin cavalry eventually flattened Korea. Even though Zhang Liang was full of knowledge and ambition to serve his country, he was unable to stop this historical torrent, let alone realize his wish to make the former Korea reach such a height.

For a long time, Zhang Liang thought that this ideal country was just an unattainable fantasy, and perhaps he would never see it in his lifetime. But now, he actually stood on this land and felt the joy and excitement of his dream coming true. At this moment, Zhang Liang's admiration for Gao Yao arose spontaneously, and he also had the idea of ​​joining him.

Zhang Liang, a resourceful man, naturally had his own unique and far-reaching thinking. He knew that choosing an appropriate time to join Gao Yao was crucial, because only in this way could he ensure that he would quickly occupy a solid position in Gao Yao's mind. Therefore, long before Gao Yao led his troops to the battle and marched directly to Xia County, Zhang Liang had already quietly lurked in the county.

With his keen insight and outstanding military wisdom, Zhang Liang had long realized that in this fierce battle between the imperial court and the southern border, Xia County would become a key strategic point that would determine the outcome. Once Xia County was lost, the entire Xiang County would inevitably be caught up in the rolling iron hoofs of the imperial army, and losing Xiang County was only a matter of time. For this reason, the importance of the battle in Xia County was self-evident.

In addition, Zhang Liang also inferred through in-depth analysis of the situation on both sides that the imperial army had obvious shortcomings in logistics and supplies, and it was difficult for them to fight for a long time. Therefore, how long Xia County could hold on was particularly critical to the entire battle situation. Of course, Xia County was not absolutely impossible to lose, but the length of time it could be held was of great significance. This was the fundamental reason why Zhang Liang insisted on staying in Xia County.

"Step back! How dare you be so rude to the gentleman!" At this critical moment, Gao Yao roared as if waking up from a dream, and his originally dull eyes instantly became sharp.

He suddenly realized that the soldiers beside him had raised their weapons and were eager to attack Zhang Liang, which frightened Gao Yao. You know, he had been looking forward to seeing Zhang Liang for a long time, and if the soldiers accidentally killed him, he would be heartbroken and cry bitterly.

"Yes!" Those personal soldiers were obviously extremely in awe of Gao Yao's orders. When they heard his rebuke, they quickly withdrew their weapons as if they were electrocuted. They immediately put down their weapons and quietly retreated to the side.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Liang, who had been on edge, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, his eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sense of relief. In fact, it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid at all. After all, at this moment, his life was almost completely in the hands of the other party. If these people really acted recklessly, Zhang Liang was really not sure that he could escape from this heavily guarded Xia County.

"Sir, please come in! Please follow me into the mansion, and we'll sit down and talk in detail. There have been assassins harassing here before, and I'm sorry that you frightened me. I hope you won't blame me." Gao Yao said with a smile on his face, and he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, his attitude appearing particularly respectful.

"No problem, no problem, General. Thank you for your courtesy. Please come in!" Zhang Liang responded with a smile, and then politely made a gesture of invitation.

"Please!" After Gao Yao invited him again, the two walked side by side and entered the mansion directly.

"Someone come! Bring us the tea and snacks quickly!" Gao Yao shouted loudly and impatiently after stepping into the main hall. After a while, several servants responded and swiftly brought us the carefully prepared tea and plates of exquisite and delicious snacks.

When it comes to delicacies, it's difficult. It's not that Gao Yao is stingy and unwilling to treat guests. It's just that the conditions are limited and there is really no particularly rich food to enjoy. These snacks were made by Lu Zhi and other women. They just wanted to let Gao Yao taste some delicious food and comfort him in his busy life.

"Mr. Zhang Liang, please forgive me. After all, this is just a small Xia County, so it is inevitable that our hospitality is not good enough." Gao Yao said to Zhang Liang with an apologetic look on his face.

"General, you are too kind. This place is already very good." Zhang Liang responded with a smile, his eyes falling on the neatly arranged and exquisitely designed snacks. Many of the snacks were things he had never seen before, let alone tasted.

At this moment, what touched Zhang Liang deeply was not only the snacks, but also the special situation that Xia County was currently in. In such a difficult environment, it was normal not to have high-end and luxurious hospitality.

Moreover, what is even more rare and precious is that from the Warring States Period, through the Qin Dynasty, to the present day, whether it is Zhang Liang's own experience or what he heard from others, no monarch has ever taken the initiative to move the people out of the city and distribute enough food and supplies to them when a war is about to start; not only that, this monarch even promised that after the war, the people would be allowed to move back to the city to live anytime and anywhere. This move undoubtedly deeply touched Zhang Liang's heart. In other words, Gao wanted to do this thing,

The people in other monarch cities could be mobilized to serve as soldiers at critical moments, but in Gaoyao, the people took the initiative to stay and help defend the city without any coercion. This was something Zhang Liang had never heard of before. It also showed how high Gaoyao's prestige was in the southern border.

"Sir, the situation is urgent now, so I won't say any more. I just hope you can tell me the truth. Do you really want to help me or do you have other intentions? Please feel free to tell me."

"Since the general is so frank, Zhang Liang will speak directly. However, I would like to ask the general to answer a few questions first."

"Just tell me what you want to say." After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Gao Yao had no reason to hesitate. The people were already here, and this was important enough for Gao Yao. As for someone pretending to be Zhang Liang, Gao Yao thought about it and gave up the idea. Even the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan would not use such a foolish method. How could Zhang Liang be someone so easy to impersonate?

"General, as a general of the Qin State, you dare to raise the banner of rebellion! Such behavior is really intolerable to the people of the world! Even if you can win this battle now, I am afraid that people in the world will still despise you and believe that you are the one who is trying to steal the power of the country. Then, how will you deal with it?"

After Zhang Liang finished speaking in a clear and loud voice, his sharp eyes were like two cold rays of light, fixed on Gao Yao, as if he wanted to see through the other's eyes and see through his true thoughts deep in his heart.

After listening to what Zhang Liang said, Gao Yao was slightly stunned at first. Obviously, he did not expect that the man in front of him would dare to say such words in front of him. If it were a monarch with a bad temper, Zhang Liang's head would probably have been chopped off by now. However, in a flash, the astonishment on his face disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a smile with a hint of admiration.

Gao Yao slowly raised his head, staring at Zhang Liang intently, and said softly: "Haha, Mr. Zhang, you are wrong! There are countless people in this world. If a few gossips can influence my decision and actions, I am afraid that I will never be able to lead this huge southern border today."

At this point, Gao Yao paused for a moment, then changed his tone and continued: "However, I would like to kindly remind you, sir. Since ancient times, no matter when or where, the world has never truly and completely belonged to a certain person. Even the First Emperor, who was feared by all and unified the six kingdoms, did not dare to say that he could always control the world! So, sir, why do you have to be so obsessed with the so-called orthodoxy and status? "The world will always belong to everyone in the world"

"General, you..." Zhang Liang couldn't help but widen his eyes and look surprised when he heard Gao Yao's words. He couldn't imagine that Gao Yao, who was always regarded as vulgar and rude and only knew how to wield swords and guns, could say such far-sighted and forward-looking words.
