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

Chapter 48 Yi Xiaochuan’s heart overflows with saintliness and he exposes Gao Yao!

At this time, Gao Yao frowned and looked around. He could always feel a faint sense of foreboding, but he didn't know where it was, as if he was always being watched.

After observing the surroundings and finding nothing, Gao Yao did not say anything more and immediately caught up with the troops. The marching route was basically calculated in advance, but for the sake of time, Gao Yao decided to let the team take some shortcuts under the cover of night while the moonlight was bright. The disadvantage was that the marching route might be close to some Tuan tribes, but the advantage was that the horses could replenish water in time.

After all, it's not just people who need to drink water, horses also need to replenish a lot of water. Traveling at night can conceal themselves as much as possible. They can rest for a few hours at night and hurry on during the day. However, Gao Yao never thought that he would be discovered by Yi Xiaochuan.

After Gao Yao's team completely disappeared, Yi Xiaochuan finally stood up from the grass slope. At this time, Yi Xiaochuan was still frowning, not understanding why Gao Yao suddenly came to the grassland when he should have gone back to Sishui County, and brought no less than a thousand cavalrymen with him. This made Yi Xiaochuan very confused.

The next morning, Zheng Hao had already moved out the horses to send Yi Xiaochuan back. Yi Xiaochuan suddenly remembered something while on horseback, and quickly pointed in the direction where Gao Yao disappeared last night.

"Brother Zheng, is this the direction where the Tuan Royal Court is located?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

After hearing what Yi Xiaochuan said, Zheng Hao was also stunned, and Yi Xiaochuan's face changed drastically.

"Oh no! The Qin cavalry is heading towards Tuan's royal court."

"What? This is absolutely impossible. Our Tuan's royal court is not fixed, and the Qin army has penetrated deep into the grassland. This is no different from seeking death. The Qin army is not our Tuan's warriors. It is impossible for them to gallop across the grassland."

"Brother Zheng, come with me, I won't lie to you"

Hearing Zheng Hao's disbelief, Yi Xiaochuan directly brought Zheng Hao to the place where the Gaoyao army marched last night. Even if thousands of cavalrymen wanted to hide their tracks, these large numbers of horse hoof prints could not be hidden. When Zheng Hao saw the horse hoof prints, he was also very shocked. Although the nomadic people on the grassland did not understand other things, their understanding of horses was far beyond that of people in the Central Plains. Just one look at the horse hoof prints told him that this was new, and it was not long ago. Tuanke did not have the habit of marching at night, so even if they were marching, it was impossible for their tribe not to notice it at all.

"Brother Xiaochuan, I will take you to the royal court. Our king is in danger."

"Brother Zheng, how long does it take to get to the royal court from here?"

"This... will take at least a day even if I run at full speed."

"I'm afraid it's too late, Brother Zheng. We should quickly notify the rest of the tribes to send troops to the royal court. We are too late..."

"Okay, okay, let's go..."

After hearing what Yi Xiaochuan said, Zheng Hao finally began to believe Yi Xiaochuan's words. Yi Xiaochuan thought of the matter of Tuan Royal Court because Gao Yao must have a reason for what he did. He happened to be within the range of Tuan. At night, he could not clearly distinguish the direction. After daytime, Yi Xiaochuan was able to determine that Gao Yao was not going back to the north, but deep into the grassland.

Considering Gao Yao's change of temperament and his eagerness to make meritorious deeds, Yi Xiaochuan thought of this. If Gao Yao raided Tuan's court, Tuan and Daqin would surely fight to the death. Yi Xiaochuan did not want to fulfill Gao Yao's idea.

On Gao Yao's side, with the dawn, thousands of cavalrymen began to charge thousands of miles again. It was not until dusk that Gao Yao finally vaguely saw the location of Tuan King's Court.

"General Gao, I found it, I finally found it"

Seeing the confusion of the Tuan royal court, he was very excited. At this time, the defense of the Tuan royal court was very lax. If he could take down the Tuan royal court in one fell swoop, it would be a great achievement. Although Tuan was just a small country, it was still a country.

"Don't worry, scouts dismount and walk around the royal court to investigate the situation."

"Here"

"The rest of you are not allowed to light a fire. Rest and eat where you are. We will raid the Tuan court tonight. General Hu, you will lead a thousand cavalrymen. Your mission is important. You will be responsible for directly attacking the camps on the left and right sides of the court. You will mainly set fires and kill people. The camps on both sides are occupied by the five thousand Tuan soldiers stationed around the court."

"no problem"

After hearing Gao Yao's arrangement, Hu Tu had no objection at all. It had come to this point, and Hu Tu admired Gao Yao's ability very much.

"Remember to inform everyone that the first thing to do when entering the camp is to set it on fire and drive away all the horses. Tuan is a nomadic people and is good at cavalry warfare. Without war horses, their combat power will be far inferior to ours."

"Don't worry, I understand."

At this time, Hu Tu's expression was very serious and he didn't mean to joke at all. Gao Yao directly called Erniu and Kong Gang over. Gao Yao also temporarily asked Kong Gang to stay by his side.

"Erniu, Kong Gang, you two are both good at fighting. Follow me and charge directly into the central army tent. Remember, the most important thing in this battle is not how many Tuan people you kill. There are at least 200,000 people in Tuan, and you can't kill them all. You have to defeat the defenders and capture all the Tuan royal family members you meet. If there are any important people, you need to take them away. Do you understand?"

"Here"

After hearing what Gao Yao said, the two did not dare to neglect it. Gao Yao also started to eat. At this time, he ate dry biscuits and drank raw water. The purpose was to rest and replenish his energy as quickly as possible. At the same time, they took turns to rest for an hour.

Although Hutu meant to attack as quickly as possible, Gao Yao still insisted on letting all the soldiers rest for at least an hour. Gao Yao knew very well that the horses were tired and the men were exhausted from the long-distance raid. Gao Yao did not want to sacrifice his life here just to launch a surprise attack on the Tuan royal court.

Even if the attack on Tuan's royal court was a success, it was only the first step. The most important thing was how to bring the members of Tuan's royal court back to Qin. Tuan had lost the current royal court, which would have dealt a great blow to morale, and it would be impossible to elect the next king in a short period of time. This was also the shortcoming of nomadic peoples. Although they seemed to be strong, the conflicts between the tribes were still very obvious. Which tribes would be able to take over and whether they would submit to Qin were all problems.

However, one thing is certain: once this plan succeeds, Tuan will exist in name only for a long time in the future. As for how to deal with the king of Tuan, this is Ying Zheng's problem.
