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

When Ren Xiong left, Gao Yao even stood up to see him off in person. After seeing off the well-fed and well-drinking Ren Xiong, Gao Yao's flattering expression gradually turned into a cold look.

At this time, Xiao He and Cao Shen also came to Gao Yao.

"My lord, this time Ren Xiong has treated you as his own."

"Haha, it's not that simple. Ren Xiao has his own plans in mind. He agreed to it verbally, but actually he has a lot of calculations in his mind. He seemed to be fine just now, but actually he just wanted to see if what I said was the truth."

Facing Xiao He's question, Gao Yao also sighed and said that Gao Yao was definitely inferior to Xiao He in terms of governance and strategy, but when it comes to guessing other people's mentality, Gao Yao has sufficient experience. After all, the later generations are completely different from today. There are rules for meeting people and saying things. It has completely become a society based on human relationships, and even pretending has become a science.

Compared with the current Qin Dynasty, the people there are much more honest and simple. Cao Shen was a little worried at this time.

"My Lord, will Ren Xiong cause us any trouble?"

"Not for the time being. He is also planning to return to Xianyang. The reason why he is deliberately trying to intimidate us is simply to tell us that Ren Xiong has the final say in the southern border. However, this may not be the case in the future. It is enough to show weakness to the enemy and let Ren Xiong think he can control us at any time."

"Cao Shen, if Ren Xiong fulfills his promise and brings 3,000 soldiers tomorrow, you will take over the whole thing. Kong Gang will be temporarily transferred to you as your deputy. I only have one request, that you obey my orders, and this order can only be our order. As for food, I will provide three meals a day. Whether these soldiers can be trained is up to you. You have three months."

"Well, my lord, please rest assured. If I can't practice it, Cao Shen is willing to accept the punishment, but..."

"Just what?"

"My lord, we don't have that much food. Most of it is in Ren Xiong's hands and in the army. If they don't give us food, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive."

"Don't worry, I have already calculated this matter. I have already arranged for people to transport a lot of food to the northern border. I will bring the food back tomorrow."

"My lord has a far-sighted vision, Cao Shen admires him"

"Okay, Lao Cao, no need to be so polite. The South Territory also has its advantages. There are many kinds of fruits. I have prepared a lot of insect repellent powder. Dissolve it in water and apply it all over the body. Then go into the mountains regularly to pick fruits and hunt wild animals for the soldiers to eat. Do you understand? Don't stop supplementing meat."

"Here"

"My lord, from the Six Kingdoms period to the Qin Dynasty, people only had two meals a day. Why did you change to three meals a day?"

"Growing meat"

"Growing flesh?"

"Haha, look at the soldiers that Ren Xiong brought just now, is there any difference between them and my soldiers?"

"This... is the body shape that the Lord is talking about?"

"Yes, it is the difference in body size. Soldiers' morale, weather and terrain are all important. In addition, there is another point that is also very important, and that is the quality of the individual soldier."

"Individual soldier quality?"

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Cao Shen and Xiao He were both slightly stunned. Gao Yao's words once again appeared in their mouths, words that they did not understand at all.

"To put it simply, in a one-on-one situation, the superiority and inferiority of our soldiers and the enemy soldiers. With the same 100 personal soldiers, I can ensure that it will not take more than an incense stick of time for my personal soldiers to wipe out the 100 personal soldiers of Ren Xiong, and the casualties will not exceed 20 at most."

"this......"

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Cao Shen and Xiao He were also shocked. It wasn't that they didn't believe it, they just felt a little surprised.

"Haha, you will see this later. The reason why they are so strong is that, on the one hand, the Qin army requires two hours of training every day. In fact, most of the Qin army only trains for about an hour unless they are supervised. The northern border will train for a little more, but only an hour and a half. My personal soldiers will train for at least four hours without training."

"They have three meals a day, and they also have regular hunting activities to supplement the soldiers' meat. This way they can grow stronger. For the same number of soldiers, our personal soldiers are stronger and have more physical strength. They can fight longer. Even if they are hit by a blow of the same strength, they are less likely to die because of the resistance of muscles and fat."

"Muscle? Fat?"

"Uh... Just understand it this way, Cao Shen. Which do you think is more deadly, a cut on your butt or a cut on your chest?"

"Naturally the chest"

“See? That’s the truth.”

After hearing what Gao Yao said, the two finally understood what Gao Yao meant. To put it simply, he had more flesh and could withstand more beatings.

"All these combined together will give me what I call the quality of a single soldier. I know that in ancient times, one or two people might not be able to change the situation on the battlefield, but what if the number of people becomes one hundred or two hundred?"

"Ren Xiong brought 5,000 elite soldiers to put pressure on me, so I am confident that I can use 100 cavalry to surprise attack Ren Xiong, and the ten thousand soldiers will cooperate with the fine steel armor to kill Ren Xiong. Once Ren Xiong dies, his subordinates will naturally fall apart. The quality of soldiers is the most important thing, and this is the truth that no one needs to say more."

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Cao Shen immediately bowed to Gao Yao sincerely. Hearing Gao Yao's words, Cao Shen can be said to have benefited a lot. During the Warring States Period, when going to war, they would agree on the time, place, the number of people, the number of horses, the number of chariots, and even take a break and eat in the middle of the battle. Both sides could not fight again, and this was called the etiquette of fighting between nobles. Later, it gradually changed to no longer abide by this rule when fighting, and the methods of war such as defeating the minority with the majority, sneak attacks, ambushes, etc. began to increase.

But in general, the army was still the main force. At this time, the counselors themselves were either deputy generals in the army, or close associates of the commander-in-chief, and they did not have an orthodox position. At this time, many generals were indeed Shengxin. A typical figure was Xiang Yu, who had all the advantages and the initiative in the original world, but he divided the world and had his own set of theories on marching and fighting. He did not listen to Fan Zeng's many suggestions. This arrogance was also the key reason for Xiang Yu's ultimate failure.

Many of the methods and approaches proposed by Gao Yao, which were gradually known to later generations, naturally seemed very surprising to Xiao He and Cao Shen today. However, after Gao Yao's explanation, they all seemed reasonable.

"My lord is a man of great talent. Cao Shen has learned a lot from you."

"By the way, Lao Xiao, how is the situation that I asked you to investigate?"

"There are more than 30,000 people in the city, but they are barely able to get enough food and clothing."

"Are there any people from the Nanyue tribe?"

"Yes, but very few. Most of them are slaves and maids."
