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

"Are you Gao Yao?"

"It is me. I have prepared some wine and drinks in my mansion. Please come and have a chat with me, General."

"Humph, you are unworthy. You beat my men. Do you know that you are violating military law? Even if I kill you now, His Majesty will not blame me."

At this time, Ren Xiong even drew the sword from his waist while speaking, ready to fight at any time. The personal soldiers brought by Gao Yao were ready to fight, but Gao Yao just raised his hand.

"If the general wanted to kill me, he probably wouldn't have said much to me. A thousand elite soldiers are enough to kill all my personnel. The general naturally knows what the southern border is like now. The general is not satisfied with me being transferred here and thinks that I am taking up the general's position. But for me, do you think I want to be transferred here?"

After hearing what Gao Yao said, Ren Xiong, who had been full of anger just now, calmed down a lot, and there was a hint of other expressions in his eyes when he looked at Gao Yao.

How could the Qin Dynasty not know what was going on in the southern border? When Qin Shi Huang sent troops to Nanyue, not everyone agreed. On the one hand, the Qin Dynasty had just been established and everything was in a state of disrepair. In addition, there were so many policies issued that it could be said that there was great pressure both economically and politically.

The southern border itself was a barren land inhabited by foreign races. The Qin spent hundreds of thousands of troops, fought for several years, consumed countless money, food and soldiers, but the actual value obtained in the end was pitifully small. The Qin even had to migrate people from other counties to Nanyue to settle down. This was enough to prove how useless Nanyue was to the Qin.

Qin Shihuang's idea was correct. To establish an empire, stabilizing the border must be the top priority. It was just that the timing was too urgent. Ren Xiong's second battle made it even clearer that it was extremely difficult to achieve political achievements in such a place. It can be said that any county in the Qin Dynasty was much stronger than this so-called Nanhai Wei.

Gao Yao changed the relationship between himself and Ren Xiong with just a few simple words. Originally, Gao Yao's appearance was equivalent to snatching Ren Xiong's position, but now it became that Gao Yao was also the one who took the blame. As for the matter of transferring Ren Xiong from the southern border, Gao Yao was also the one who was cheated. The relationship between the two sides changed directly from being hostile to being a victim.

Ren Xiong's becoming the Nanhai Wei and Gao Yao's becoming the Nanhai Wei seem to be the same, but in fact, they are fundamentally different. Ren Xiong became the Nanhai Wei, holding both military and political power, plus he had 200,000 Qin troops, which was equivalent to becoming the king of the southern border without a title. However, when Gao Yao came, he did not receive such treatment, but started from scratch.

Ren Xiong still loyal to the Qin Dynasty. It doesn't mean that Ren Xiong has the idea of ​​rebelling against the Qin Dynasty, but this does not hide his desire to gain power.

"What do you want to say?"

"General, I have prepared some wine. How about you try it?"

At this time, Gao Yao was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Instead, he invited Ren Xiong again. This time, after a little thought, Ren Xiong put away his sword and dismounted. Gao Yao directly carried Ren Xiong to the yard. Looking at the dilapidated yard, it was naturally intentional by Ren Xiong, but seeing that Gao Yao was still able to remain calm, Ren Xiong looked up to Gao Yao a lot.

"General, please"

"Um"

Seeing Gao Yao taking the initiative to toast him, Ren Xiong finally gave him some face and drank the wine in the glass. Then he continued to look at Gao Yao and spoke.

"Master Gao Yao, you are now appointed as the Nanhai Wei. Do you know that this position is not easy to hold?"

"Thank you for your attention, General. I understand this, but Gao Yao is more worried about you than I am."

"worry about me?"

"To be honest, General, Gao Yao has been walking on thin ice since he wiped out the rebels all the way to the northern border, raided King Tuan's court, and brought King Tuan to Xianyang. Gao Yao did not dare to brag about his achievements in front of the general, but because he offended someone, he eventually became the Nanhai Wei with the help of others. Since someone asked Gao Yao to be the Nanhai Wei, I'm afraid that after you return to Xianyang, you may encounter people with ulterior motives. That's why Gao Yao said he was worried about the general."

"Humph, I destroyed Nanyue for the Qin Dynasty. Now Nanyue is only a tiny piece of land. If it weren't for the need for the army to recuperate, Nanyue would have been razed to the ground in one fell swoop. Who dares to criticize me in front of Your Majesty?"

"Really? Then I would like to congratulate the general."

"Swish"

After Gao Yao finished speaking, he drew the sword from his waist. Ren Xiong was also stunned when he saw this. Ren Xiong's personal soldiers at the door were ready to attack but were stopped by Ren Xiong. He did not think Gao Yao was stupid. If they attacked here, not to mention that there was no chance of killing him, once they attacked, they would definitely die.

As expected, the next moment Gao Yao raised his sword in both hands and came directly in front of Ren Xiong.

"General, if you don't believe Gao Yao, you can just take action with your sword again, and then find an excuse to say you encountered bandits."

"You...are you really not afraid of death?"

Seeing Gao Yao like this, Ren Xiao frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Gao Yao was so fearless of death.

"However, General, I still want to remind you that some people may want you to take action. You don't even need to take action. As long as the news of Gao Yao's death in the southern border is passed back to Xianyang, I'm afraid that what awaits you next is not the imperial edict, but your majesty's army."

"hiss......"

Listening to Gao Yao's words, Ren Xiong's heart was also shocked. As long as he thought about it for a while, he would find that it seemed to be true. Moreover, Gao Yao could not die in the southern border. Once he died in the southern border, no matter whether it was Ren Xiong who did it, His Majesty would definitely be suspicious. Ren Xiong was still loyal to Qin Shihuang, and he was chosen by Qin Shihuang as the commander-in-chief of the second expedition to the southern border. Naturally, he had great trust in him.

Once Gao Yao had problems, I'm afraid this trust would no longer exist. Ren Xiong knew very well the character of Qin Shi Huang. When he trusted you, he would let you control hundreds of thousands of troops, just like Meng Tian in the north. But once Qin Shi Huang had doubts, he would definitely order Ren Xiong to go to Xianyang. Once he went, if he couldn't explain clearly, his whole family would be implicated. If he didn't go, it would be confirmed that he wanted to rebel, and Qin Shi Huang would definitely send troops to attack him. Even though Ren Xiong was leading an army of 200,000 now, if he knew that he had to fight against Qin Shi Huang, I'm afraid that less than 20% of them would be willing to follow him.
