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

"Hmm? Do you mean... let Li Si become the second Feng Quji?" After thinking for a moment, Gao Yao immediately understood the deep meaning of Wu She's words.

But Gao Yao immediately shook his head, indicating that he did not agree with this: "Although on the surface it can be done in the same way, there is actually an essential difference between the two! Feng Quji is indeed a man of extraordinary talent, but his influence is ultimately limited; Li Si is completely different, he not only has outstanding abilities, but more importantly, he also possesses a unique and powerful influence. This influence can be large or small, and if used improperly, it may lead to unexpected consequences." At this point, Gao Yao frowned tightly, obviously quite worried about this matter.

"My lord, isn't it Li Si's influence that you want to use? Now the imperial army has stepped into the trap as you wish. If it succeeds, with Li Si's influence and your recruitment, the imperial army will have a ready-made source of troops."

"As for the problem that the lord is worried about, I personally have a suggestion, which is to find someone to assist Li Si. In name, it is an assistant, but in fact, it is to slowly turn Li Si's influence into your own. After all, Li Si is just a person and can be killed at any time. If a person is dead, even the greatest influence is useless, isn't it?"

Listening quietly to what Wu She said, Gao Yao couldn't help but sigh softly, his heart full of helplessness and regret. Is it really impossible to save Li Si's life? Although he knew that the final outcome might be difficult to change,

It must be admitted that what Wu She said was not useless, and there were indeed some points worth learning from. Even so, Li Si could not escape the fate of death. This was not because Gao Yao was a soft-hearted and indecisive person, but because Li Si had once helped Gao Yao in a real way.

Looking back, judging from the situation at the time, the two of them might have been more of a mutually beneficial relationship. But it is undeniable that Li Si did give Gao Yao a lot of help. If it weren't for Li Si's help, Gao Yao might have died long ago, not to mention the various developments that followed. It is even very likely that Gao Yao would have been harmed by Yi Xiaochuan before the subsequent plot unfolded.

It was Gao Yao's idea and suggestion to let Li Si go to the southern border. Not only that, Li Si also moved his whole family with him this time, which can be said to be obedient to Gao Yao's words. If it were someone else, Gao Yao would definitely not leave any trouble for himself, and would definitely catch him in one fell swoop and cut off the roots. But facing Li Si, Gao Yao really felt that it was too pity,

Li Si was absolutely beneficial and harmless from the Warring States Period to the Qin Dynasty. However, Li Si's name was too deeply tied to the Qin Dynasty. This was no longer a problem that Gao Yao could solve. For the time being, this was the only arrangement he could make.

"Wu She, since you've already said it, I won't say any more. I'm telling you all this because I think you should understand what it means, right?"

"Of course I understand. My lord wants me to stay by Li Si's side and become his backup to control Li Si."

How could Wu She not understand that Gao Yao specifically explained this matter to a surrendered general who had just appeared? This either meant that he was going to die, or that he had a special mission to perform.

"Okay, you can rest assured. This won't take too long. After this matter is resolved, you will be my confidant. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Well, please rest assured, my lord. Wu She will do his best to complete your instructions."

Listening to Gao Yao's words, Wu She showed his loyalty without much hesitation. Wu She saw clearly that Gao Yao had said so much. If he retreated, Gao Yao might kill him. He could only move forward and become Gao Yao's confidant.

Gao Yao let Wu She intervene in this matter in order to play a comprehensive role. Li Si has a very special advantage, that is, his understanding of Daqin. As the former prime minister of Daqin, his understanding of various counties of Daqin is naturally beyond doubt. This is definitely not comparable to Xiao He, Zhang Liang and others. After all, Li Si relied on Daqin in its heyday to obtain various information. Li Si himself is a person who has a full understanding of the population, household registration, mountain and river trends, and the items produced in various places.

Otherwise, how could Li Si become the prime minister? He could never reach the position of prime minister just by relying on intelligence. Intelligence is only a prerequisite for this. What is really important is personal knowledge and understanding and control of resources. Li Si only knows the Southern Territory now, so the gap between him and Xiao He is too big. Xiao He watched the Southern Territory grow little by little, and his understanding of various aspects far exceeds that of others, not even Li Si.

Similarly, Li Si's knowledge and understanding of the Qin Empire is beyond the reach of ordinary people. His unique perspective and profound insights make him stand out among many counselors, and no one can compare with him. This is precisely why Gao Yao looks at Li Si differently and attaches great importance to him. Li Si, who has the deepest understanding of the Qin Empire, will surely become a powerful arm for his great cause if he can use it. This is why Gao Yao is unwilling to easily give up such a rare talent.

Of course, Li Si himself also knew very well how important his value and role were to Gao Yao. For this reason, when faced with the choice, Li Si chose to come to Gao Yao without hesitation. After all, if even Gao Yao, who had such a discerning eye, did not dare to use him, then looking around the world, it would be difficult to find a princely power willing to generously grant him generous treatment and opportunities.

At this moment, the situation is quietly changing. Wu She has been kept by Gao Yao in case of emergency; while Han Xin led the army to Guilin County without stopping. At the same time, the entire southern border area is surging because of the upcoming war, and various forces have begun to secretly plan their layout. After careful planning and deployment, the most critical ambush site was finally determined to be set up in Heilongkou. The terrain here is dangerous and will undoubtedly become the key to determining the outcome of the battle.

Heilongkou is a very special place. It is not only a unique place name in this land, but also a strategic location with unique advantages. The overall terrain here is like a long and narrow basin, winding and stretching for dozens of miles. This unique terrain makes Heilongkou an excellent place for ambush and counter-ambush.
