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

The scene in front of them made the people around them feel upset. After all, being able to work beside Gao Yao, a powerful figure, was an opportunity that countless people dreamed of, but Erniu actually tried every means to shirk it, which was really unbelievable.

At this time, Gao Yao did not seem to care about other people's thoughts, but continued to announce loudly: "In addition, the position of the chief general will be temporarily handed over to Zhang Liang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liang in the crowd heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly stepped out, stood tall in front of Gao Yao, clasped his fists and bowed, and replied: "Yes!" His voice was loud and powerful, full of confidence and determination.

"As for the appointment arrangements for other positions, we will make further decisions after in-depth discussions and research. During this period, I hope that everyone can return to their respective posts and go all out to complete all follow-up tasks to ensure that everything goes well. Do you all understand clearly?" Gao Yao stood in the court, his eyes majestically scanning the ministers below, his voice loud and firm.

"Yes!" All the ministers responded in unison, their voices uniform and echoing in the hall.

As Gao Yao gave the order, everyone immediately responded respectfully, indicating that they had understood the task requirements. Then, Gao Yao nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and gently waved to everyone, indicating that the meeting was over. He said slowly: "Okay, today's meeting ends here, everyone can leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yao turned around and walked out of the hall. Seeing this, all the officials consciously stepped aside to the sides, leaving a wide passage for Gao Yao to pass through first. At this moment, even the seemingly insignificant details such as the order of departure must not be wrong. Because whether Gao Yao chooses to leave or stay temporarily, as officials, they must follow the corresponding etiquette norms, patiently wait for instructions, and must not act without authorization. This is the rule, and no one dares to violate it easily.

At this time, Gao Yao had already decided to vigorously reorganize his army, preparing to stabilize the size of the army at around 260,000 to 270,000 soldiers in a standing state. Not only that, even the number of garrisons scattered in various counties was firmly controlled by him within the key node of 300,000. Because he knew very well that if the military force exceeded this range, it would inevitably bring many negative impacts to the normal and healthy development of the country.

At the same time, in order to achieve sustainable development of the army and attract more outstanding talents to join the army, Gaoyao has also greatly improved the treatment level of soldiers. This move is aimed at eliminating the worries of soldiers and stimulating the enthusiasm of the people to join the army and serve the country. In addition, in order to ensure that the soldiers who really meet the requirements are recruited, Gaoyao has also deliberately set a series of strict and diverse selection conditions. Only those who have excellent physical fitness, good military literacy and firm fighting will can successfully pass the layers of screening and become a member of this elite division.

However, for Gao Yao, it is obviously not enough to just complete these basic tasks. Next, he will start the second phase of in-depth research - the innovation and replacement of weapons and equipment. The improvement and application of black powder is the most critical. At present, the use of black powder is still quite primitive and rough, far from exerting its great power. Therefore, Gao Yao is determined to make a breakthrough in the shortest time possible, at least to make powerful cannons available as soon as possible and put them into actual combat.

It can be predicted that once this new type of artillery is equipped on a large scale, the entire war situation will undergo a fundamental change. With the advantage of advanced weapons and equipment, the army led by Gao Yao will undoubtedly be able to quickly take the absolute lead in a short period of time and be invincible on the battlefield!

The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan escaped. Gao Yao knew very well that this guy was definitely not the kind of person who would give up easily. He would definitely try his best to make a comeback. Moreover, with the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's extraordinary ability, no matter which prince he went to, he could easily rise again. What was even more worrying was that Gao Yao could not even rule out the possibility of Yi Xiaochuan and Xiang Yu working together. Therefore, Gao Yao knew that he had to prepare for a rainy day and make a perfect response plan in advance to prevent any unexpected situation from happening again.

Recalling the previous battle between himself and the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, he was in a completely disadvantageous situation at that time, with the enemy being strong and he being weak. However, after this fierce battle, the situation has undergone a fundamental change. Now, the advantage has clearly leaned towards Gao Yao, forming a situation where he is strong and the enemy is weak. There is no doubt that this is a great thing for Gao Yao. But at the same time, Gao Yao also understands that it is not easy to turn the tide like this time, and it may be difficult to encounter such a favorable situation in the future.

Nowadays, the recovery of the two counties of Bashu is progressing very smoothly. Back then, the imperial court's 300,000 strong army suffered a disastrous defeat. What's worse, Xianyang, the core city of the empire, was besieged by various princes, like a trapped beast. The death of the new emperor Fusu in battle was a fatal blow to the Qin Empire, and it can be said that it completely cut off its last hope of survival. At this moment, the once glorious Qin Empire has reached its end.

The defeated Qin army and many royal relatives gathered in Hanzhong. The reason why they chose this place as the last place to hold out was that Hanzhong's geographical location was quite unique and easy to defend but difficult to attack; secondly, there was a relatively large amount of food stored here, which could sustain for a period of time. After successfully capturing Xianyang, the so-called coalition of princes was almost all intoxicated with the joy of victory, and no one seemed to have the intention to continue attacking Hanzhong.

At this time, Wang Ben and Wang Li of Hanzhong knew very well that their own troops were scarce and the supply of money and food was seriously insufficient. Even if there were soldiers coming from Bashu and other counties to ask for help, how could they fight against the powerful enemy with such a small force? After weighing the pros and cons, he had to grit his teeth and make up his mind to ignore those requests for help from afar.

It is no exaggeration to say that Hanzhong is now like a sandwich that can be manipulated by anyone. It is firmly sandwiched between various princes and the powerful Gaoyao forces, unable to advance or retreat, as if it is trapped in a desperate situation that it can never escape.

This series of circumstances eventually led to Gao Yao's success in occupying the two counties of Bashu being unexpectedly smooth. Originally, the imperial army was losing ground on the battlefield, and the trend of defeat was obvious. Except for the few loyal and devoted soldiers, the vast majority of soldiers and generals did not hesitate at all when they encountered the fierce and fierce attack of the southern border army, and they decisively chose to surrender. It is for this reason that those areas that can resolutely resist and hold their positions are rare.
