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

Chapter 53: Surviving a catastrophe will lead to good fortune?

"I......"

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Yu Shu was instantly speechless. Her face turned red with anger, but she couldn't say anything to refute.

"You are a princess of Tuan after all. You are not going to tell me that you don't know what the Tuan soldiers did. As for the slaves in the Tuan court, many of them are just commoners of the Qin Dynasty. What about you? Are you qualified to talk to me about etiquette and morality now?"

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Yu Shu didn't know what to say. Gao Yao didn't hesitate and directly snatched the potatoes that were originally prepared for her, threw them on the ground, and even stepped on them.

"It's fine if you don't want to eat such a good thing. It's fine if you want dignity."

After Gao Yao lifted his foot, the potatoes had been trampled into a puddle. Gao Yao nodded with satisfaction.

"Now this thing meets the standard of food that you Tuan give us, the Qin people. Either you eat it now, or wait for me, the unmarried soldiers, to treat you well in front of your father."

Gao Yao left immediately after he finished speaking, not paying any attention to this saintly woman. He and Yi Xiaochuan were definitely a pair, but Gao Yao naturally couldn't let them be together. Gao Yao also wanted to make good use of Yu Shu, who was the key figure in the plot after Yi Xiaochuan.

For people like Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, Gao Yao's principle is to kill them without mercy and never let them go. The unknown risks of these people are too great. However, Yu Shu's force value is equal to zero, which can be said to be almost useless. The only point is that Yu Shu cannot enter the palace and cannot be handed over to Qin Shihuang.

It doesn't matter whether Qin Shi Huang really likes Yu Shu or not. What matters is that Gao Yao will never let the plot go smoothly.

"Brother, the princess ate it"

Not long after Gao Yao left, Erniu came over and told Li Mo. Gao Yao didn't take it to heart. He was just a slut. He had to be beaten up before he would behave. He was just like Yi Xiaochuan, a self-righteous saint. He could not do anything, but he wanted to do everything. He just relied on his mouth.

Under Gao Yao's leadership, half a day later, the scouts in front also ran back excitedly.

"We're here, we're here, we've reached the North. We're going home, we're going home..."

At this time, the hard work of the past few days had made the scout forget the rules. It can be said that he ran back crying, and he was in a state of excitement.

"oh oh......"

All the Qin soldiers were excited at this moment, and Hu Tu even hugged Gao Yao happily to express his excitement. The moment before, he was still wondering if there was no hope, but the next moment he felt the joy of having received a sudden blessing.

For the Qin army now, returning to the north does not only mean survival, but also military merit, rewards, and future life. This is why the Qin army was so fierce when it unified the six kingdoms. The Qin army clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments, especially for those with military merit and titles. This basically represents a guarantee for those who leave the army and retire. Even if they die in battle, it is a guarantee for their families.

Many of the Qin soldiers were naturally crying with joy. Gao Yao was the only one present who was not particularly excited. After all, all of this was within Gao Yao's calculations and there was nothing to be excited about.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yi Xiaochuan soon met the other Tuan people who came to reinforce him after he escaped. However, these Tuan people didn't know who Yi Xiaochuan was. They only knew that Yi Xiaochuan was from Qin, so they started chasing him without saying a word. Fortunately, Yi Xiaochuan was alone, so it was relatively easier for him to hide. However, there were too many people looking for him, and every group of Tuan people they met would not listen to Yi Xiaochuan's explanation at all. They would treat him as their personal soldiers whenever they saw him.

The biggest credit was the backup plan left by Gao Yao, which was very deceptive. The Tuan people, who were eager to pursue the Qin army, had no time to analyze the truth and began to search towards the north like casting a net. As luck would have it, Yi Xiaochuan also wanted to escape back to the background as soon as possible. By mistake, Yi Xiaochuan was just being pursued.

However, Yi Xiaochuan was alone, and he managed to escape the danger. However, this also caused Yi Xiaochuan to keep avoiding Tuan's pursuers and run farther and farther. He had already strayed from Shanggu County and arrived in Dai County. During this journey, Yi Xiaochuan suffered a lot. He ate everything when he was hungry, even moles. Even so, Yi Xiaochuan still fainted by the river due to hunger.

When Yi Xiaochuan woke up again, he had returned to the northern border, still in the military tent. However, Yi Xiaochuan was extremely weak and fell into a coma again. Gao Yao was naturally unaware of these things. After entering Yuyang County, Gao Yao was also very tired and did not rest much along the way.

Fortunately, Hu Tu was stationed in Shanggu County, adjacent to Yuyang County. Although the two sides were not familiar with each other, they knew each other's lives. In addition, Hu Tu's identity card allowed the other side to accept Gao Yao and his party in time.

He promptly sent a letter to the highest military commander in the North together with Hu Tu to report Gao Yao's situation. This person actually held the military power in the North and had the authority to build the Great Wall. This person was Meng Tian.

After receiving the letter, Meng Tian immediately sent a message to meet Gao Yao and Hu Tu, as well as King Tuan and Princess Yu Shu. After hearing the news, Gao Yao began to think in the camp.

He knew exactly who Meng Tian was. During the Warring States Period, Meng Tian's grandfather, Meng Ao, joined King Zhao of Qin in Qi and led his army to attack Han and Zhao, and was promoted to Shangqing. His father, Meng Wu, was also a general of Qin and served as the internal historian of Qin. He joined forces with Qin general Wang Jian to destroy the State of Chu. Meng Tian was born into a family of famous generals. Deeply influenced by his family environment, he had great ambitions since he was a child and was determined to charge into battle and serve the country. He was gifted, well-versed in military books, and gradually developed a high level of military literacy.

After that, he and Li Xin divided their troops into two groups to attack the State of Chu. The two groups of Qin troops totaled 200,000 people. Li Xin attacked Pingyu and Meng Tian attacked Qin. They defeated the Chu army and also made great contributions in attacking the State of Qi. Before and after the unification, Meng Tian was ordered to lead 300,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north. He recovered Henan and presided over the construction of the Great Wall, which started from Lintao in Longxi in the west and ended in Liaodong in the east, connecting the original Yan, Zhao and Qin Great Walls. The Great Wall took advantage of the terrain and natural barriers to set up fortresses to curb the Xiongnu's southward advance.

Although the Great Wall had not been completed at that time, there was no doubt that Meng Tian held a very high position in Qin Shihuang's heart and was deeply trusted by Qin Shihuang. Basically, Meng Tian was involved in almost all matters in the entire northern border, from the construction of the Great Wall to military and political affairs.
