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

Similarly, after seeing Zhao Tuo off, Gao Yao's expression began to return to its cold state. At this time, Xiao He also appeared from the side. Looking at Zhao Tuo who was leaving, a solemn look inevitably appeared in his eyes.

"My lord, Zhao Tuo's purpose is very clear. He is just giving you bait. I am afraid that if he really gets power, the first thing he will do is to weaken your military power."

"I know, I knew it a long time ago. The old man wouldn't be holding back on anything good. Didn't you notice that there are a lot more Southern Border garrison troops in the city?"

"Indeed, wasn't this something Zhao Tuo brought into the city specifically to protect Hu Hai?"

"Guard? Do you really think he is a guard? Rather than calling him a guard, this old guy is actually just worried about me."

"Worried about the Lord?"

"That's right. He is actually worried that I will say something to Hu Hai. Rather than protecting Hu Hai, these soldiers are actually monitoring me to prevent me from having too much contact with Hu Hai. This will affect his plan to advise Hu Hai and thus affect his complete control of the military power in the north."

"My lord, this..."

"It's okay. Don't forget that I founded the entire Nanhai County. I found all the people in the city, including those in the post station. I know what he wants. Do you think I can let him get it easily?"

"My lord is wise. What's next?"

"Troops, food, and fodder. I am ready to completely take over the entire southern border."

"what?"

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Xiao He was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Gao Yao's ambition to be so big, but Xiao He soon thought of an explanation.

"My Lord, you want to use this incident to completely control the military power of the entire southern border."

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean. As long as we can completely take over the southern border without consuming a large number of personnel, it will be a great achievement. With this achievement, if Zhao Tuo fails to perform his duties due to some accident, then the responsibility of leading the southern border garrison will be mine."

"My Lord has great ambitions."

"Haha, this is not my original intention. I originally had other plans. Who knew that Hu Hai's coming would give me a good opportunity. Come with me."

Follower Gao Yao came to the study together. At this time, Lu Su was busy counting in the study. Seeing this, Gao Yao nodded with satisfaction.

"Meet the Madam"

"Husband, Lord Xiao He"

"Please leave first. I have something important to discuss with Lao Xiao. I'll come back later."

"Here"

Hearing Gao Yao's words, Lu Su immediately stood up and observed Gao Yao's satisfied look towards her. This also brought a smile to Lu Su's lips. What Lu Zhi could do, she, Lu Su, could do as well.

Gao Yao directly took out the map of the southern border that he had drawn based on the map rewarded by the system, and then began to point at the map.

"Although we have already taken control of the southern border, it is not all of it. If we want to do it, we must do it thoroughly. Starting from Nanhai County, we must go south to the coast and west to the south of Bashu County. We must swallow it all in one go."

"this......"

Listening to Gao Yao's summary, Xiao He was also surprised. He never thought that Gao Yao's appetite was really not small at all. This was not just a matter of one county. According to Gao Yao's planned location, this was at least another three-county area.

"What's wrong, Lao Xiao, do you think you can't do it, or do you think my appetite is a little too big?"

"My lord, your appetite is indeed too big. After all, this is not the Central Plains. The losses in such a battle would be very serious and we don't know the terrain well. If we advance rashly, the Qin army's previous attack on Nanyue will be an example. I hope that even if you have the authority to attack, you will be very cautious."

"What if I knew the direction of all the mountains and rivers?"

"what?"

"I have sent people from the Nanyue tribe to personally draw a more detailed map, including the locations of water sources and the directions of mountains and rivers in other places."

"My Lord, are you serious?"

"Of course I took it seriously."

“Then the situation might be completely different.”

"Moreover, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the southern border. They have always been obstacles that cannot be avoided in the march of the army, and they may also cause plagues. I have found a way to avoid the invasion of these snakes, insects, rats and ants. Any poison in the world must have complementary plants or medicines that can restrain it within a radius of one kilometer. Similarly, after research, I have developed a sachet. Wearing it on the body can avoid the invasion of these snakes, insects, rats and ants. Now I have found hundreds of women who are stepping up the production."

"My Lord, you are simply a god, but why do I hear you say that you intend to lead the troops to the battle yourself?"

At this time, Xiao He asked with some concern. Gao Yao did not refute but simply nodded.

"No, my lord. Let me go. Cao Shen and I will definitely be able to help you take over these areas."

"Old Xiao, you and Cao Shen are certainly capable, otherwise why would I bring you with me from afar? But not this time. I need you to help me stabilize the government affairs of the three counties. You have the ability, but now Guilin and Xiang County are gradually implementing policies, villages are being built, and the county town is also being renovated. How can I feel at ease if you leave these things to others?"

"this......"

"So you are indispensable for this matter. Not only you, but also Cao Shen, I will leave it to you, and I will take Han Xin with me."

"Ah... this... even if I leave Han Xin here, do you think his prestige can control the soldiers below? Don't worry, there is no rush for this matter. Nothing has been settled yet. I tell you this because you are steady. All preparations need to be made in advance."

"Here"

The next night, two figures entered the city, inquired about the situation, and then headed straight to the post station. After being informed, Yi Xiaochuan immediately took them to the post station.

"Cui Wenzi, how is it, you haven't been discovered, right?"

After entering the room of the post station, Yi Xiaochuan asked nervously,

"Haha, if something happens, can we still get here? Gao Yao is really smart. There are patrolling soldiers at every intersection, specifically checking for women just for us. But if we disguise ourselves as refugees, no one will notice us."

"Xiaoyue, thank you for your hard work"

"Lord Meng Yi, what exactly is going on? Can you tell me now?"

"This... Xiaoyue, I asked you to come here because of a matter concerning the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people. I had no choice but to do so. Please forgive me, Miss Xiaoyue. I was asked to bring you here by someone else."

"Entrusted by someone?"

Seeing that Xiaoyue was about to continue asking questions, Yi Xiaochuan didn't know how to explain it, so he could only use this excuse.
