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

As for why no one helped Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the reason is very simple. The nobles of the six countries all had their own ideas. How could they follow two unknown people? What's more, fundamentally speaking, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were not the same kind of people as the nobles of the six countries. The nobles of the six countries were also vested interests. In the words of later generations, the capital would not sympathize with the workers.

At this time, Gao Yao had already found the two people, but it was uncertain whether this uprising would happen. With Gao Yao's intervention, many things were affected, especially in terms of corvee labor.

However, it was because of the heavy rain and mountain floods that the corvée time was blocked, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, facing death, finally decided to kill the officers and soldiers escorting them, which triggered the subsequent vigorous uprising. In this world, although corvée still continues, its intensity has been reduced compared with the past. Gao Yao's proposal actually had more of an effect on the change in the progress of the project. It was just an improvement in speed and could not fundamentally eliminate the various problems brought about by the corvée system itself.

Even if the progress is accelerated, the Great Wall is still under construction, and there is also the large-scale imperial mausoleum project at the foot of Mount Li, which requires a lot of manpower. At the same time, not every local official will strictly follow the established standards to implement the corvee policy.

Some greedy local officials even treated this matter as a profitable business. If you want to escape the suffering of corvée, you have to pay bribes; vice versa, if your family is powerful and has a strong background, you will naturally be able to escape the constraints of corvée. In this way, the burden of corvée is often borne by ordinary civilians who have neither power nor money.

This undoubtedly became one of the factors that caused the people to complain and be extremely dissatisfied. When everyone is in the same situation, the impact will inevitably be completely different. Of course, it cannot be concluded that there are no honest officials in the Qin Dynasty. It's just that compared with the good side of human nature, the ugly side is obviously more prominent.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. Assuming that it is true as you said, we can successfully conquer Minzhong and Kuaiji, then how many troops do you need?" Gao Yao stared at Han Xin with burning eyes and asked in a serious tone.

"My lord, this matter does not seem to be decided by me. The final decision-making power should be in your hands! As for the military force, the more the better!" Han Xin's mouth corners slightly raised, and his tone seemed to be full of confidence.

"Haha, you're pretending to be polite to me! How long will it take you to complete the task if I give you 30,000 elite troops?" Gao Yao couldn't help but be amused by Han Xin's answer. He knew very well that this guy was playing the "the more the merrier" trick on him.

After Han Xin pondered for a moment, he answered firmly: "Three months!" After careful consideration, he gave the time he thought it would take to achieve his goal.

Hearing this number, Gao Yao nodded in approval. After all, for a war, time and manpower are crucial considerations. As an experienced and wise general, Han Xin must have sufficient basis and grasp for the plans and expectations he proposed. At this moment, Gao Yao already had a preliminary plan and deployment for the future development of the war.

There is no doubt that Han Xin's confidence is a sure thing, and to some extent, it is indeed a good thing. However, the reality is far from being as easy and simple as Han Xin imagined, and it can even be said to be more difficult and thorny.

What Gao Yao was worried about was Xiang Yu and the Xiang family, who were now in Kuaiji. Gao Yao had fought with Xiang Yu before, and his fighting power was indeed unparalleled. If it weren't for the existence of the system, Gao Yao would not have been able to defeat Xiang Yu.

At the same time, Xiang Yu's command ability is also extraordinary. Xiang Yu may not be a talented general, but there is no doubt that Xiang Yu is a brave and incomparable general. This is definitely a very difficult bone to chew. However, Gao Yao still did not tell Han Xin in advance after considering it. After all, Xiang Yu is not well-known now. Even if Gao Yao said something more serious, it might not attract Han Xin's attention. On the contrary, it would not be good.

"Forget it, I already know, leave now." Gao Yao said calmly.

"Back? My lord, then when will the troops be sent out?" Han Xin looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask.

"Stop talking nonsense! When did you mention sending troops? Don't speak nonsense!" Gao Yao's expression became increasingly stern, and he reprimanded in a stern tone.

Facing Gao Yao's solemn expression, Han Xin dared not say a word more and could only nod and agree: "Well, I'm sorry for what I said."

"Train the troops well when you go back. When the time comes and you are needed, I will let you show your skills." Gao Yao waved his hand, signaling Han Xin to leave.

"As you command, thank you for your trust, my lord. Han Xin will go all out and spare no effort!"

Just as Han Xin was about to step out of the door, he heard these words and instantly became spirited, his whole body trembling slightly with excitement. Having followed Gao Yao for a long time, he knew that Gao Yao was not a person who spoke without thinking, and since he could say these words, it meant that his chance to show his skills was just around the corner.

Han Xin had just left, and Xiao He arrived at Gao Yao's mansion right after him.

"My Lord, you are looking for me?"

"Well, let's go. It's time to tell you something. Erniu, prepare the horse."

"Here"

Following Gao Yao's order, Erniu quickly prepared the horses. Xiao He was confused until the group left the city.

"My Lord, where are we going?"

"Why, are you afraid that I will harm you?"

"Hahahaha... My lord, you can't make such a joke casually. If you really want to harm Yu He, why bother with so much trouble? One word will be enough. But you left so suddenly, and I don't know when. You should at least leave a message for your family."

"Don't worry, it won't take long, let's go."

"Here"

Xiao He naturally did not worry that Gao Yao would come back to harm him. There was no need for that. Xiao He seemed to be in power now, including Cao Shen. With the military power in hand, in fact, from soldiers to generals, they basically obeyed Gao Yao's orders, not Xiao He and Cao Shen.

It was too early for Gao Yao to become a threat to his master. Xiao He just thought that Gao Yao was walking out of the city for no apparent reason. Moreover, the number of soldiers around Gao Yao was decreasing. Before he left the city, there were more than 20 people following him. After he left the city, only Erniu and two others were left. Xiao He was also worried about Gao Yao's safety. After all, he had already been assassinated once.
