Chapter 383 Returning to the county town, the battle situation changes!

"My dear husband, why do you still care so much about the war at this moment? Resting well is the most important thing right now!" Lv Zhi looked at the seriously injured and pale man in front of her, Gao Yao, with full of worry. Although he was seriously injured, he was still concerned about the war ahead.

Gao Yao coughed lightly a few times and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "It's okay, just tell me." Obviously, he did not intend to blame Lu Zhi for her advice. Instead, he was eager to know the latest developments of the war.

Seeing this, Lü Zhi knew that she could not stop her husband from paying attention to the military situation, so she could only slowly speak: "My husband, it has been seven days since you fell unconscious. During this period, Zhang Han personally led his army to attack Nanhai County fiercely, and the offensive was fierce and did not stop for ten consecutive days. Fortunately, our soldiers fought bravely and successfully defeated one of his attacks. Just one day ago, exciting news came that General Han Xin had led 30,000 troops to return from Kuaiji in triumph and headed straight for the flank of Zhang Han's army. Faced with this situation, Zhang Han had to order the army to retreat more than ten miles, and temporarily stopped further attacks. In my opinion, Zhang Han must be afraid of the power of our army, so he dared not advance rashly."

While describing the changing situation on the battlefield, Lü Zhi was paying attention to Gao Yao's reaction. When she mentioned Han Xin's return, Gao Yao's tense expression relaxed slightly, as if a huge stone in his heart had finally fallen. There was a reason why Han Xin was called the God of War, and it was difficult for anyone in later generations to get this title.

On the one hand, it is undoubtedly true that Han Xin was the first outstanding figure to push the development of the rigid and traditional war mode of the Warring States Period to a wide range of sophisticated and varied strategies and tactics. The military talent and wisdom he demonstrated not only amazed people at that time, but also left a profound impact on later generations.

On the other hand, Han Xin's stunning and brilliant military achievements cannot be ignored. In just four years, he was able to sweep across the six kingdoms like a broken bamboo. Such a strong strength is definitely not in vain. Gao Yao initially compared the wars at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty with the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and even the Jin Dynasty. When he personally experienced and truly felt this magnificent period of history at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, he suddenly realized that the intensity of the wars during this period was incomparable to other periods.

After all, every battle involves a life-and-death battle for the survival of a country, and each battle is related to the final honor, disgrace, rise and fall of a descendant of the Warring States period. In comparison, many subsequent wars, regardless of their scale, often took several times longer to settle than the wars at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty. It can be seen that the Warring States period may be comparable to it in terms of war intensity, but apart from it, no other era can compare with it.

"Where's Zhang Liang?" With Han Xin here, Gao Yao can basically rest assured that there is nothing to worry about in the southern border in the short term. Then he remembered that Zhang Liang was here.

"The gentleman you are talking about, isn't he a slightly older man with a slightly weathered look?" Lu Zhi asked softly. Hearing this, Gao Yao suppressed his smile and thought to himself: This is true. Thinking back to when he first met Zhang Liang, he had the same feeling. Before this, Gao Yao had specially inquired and learned that after Zhang Liang's early attempt to assassinate Qin Shihuang failed, Qin Shihuang ordered a wanted notice to be posted all over the country. Under this circumstance, in order to protect his own life, Zhang Liang had to hide his whereabouts frequently, and even deliberately pretended to be old to avoid everyone's sight.

"That's the man! Has Zhang Liang returned to the county city with us?" Gao Yao solemnly confirmed with Lü Zhi. Gao Yao really cherished Zhang Liang, a man of extraordinary wisdom. Although the fight ended in failure, Gao Yao knew that it was not due to Zhang Liang's lack of strategy. If it weren't for Han Xin's tricks, if the Black Armor Army hadn't rushed back to reinforce in advance, I'm afraid I would have died by now. How can I blame Zhang Liang for this? After all, how many people in the world would do such a thing as giving everything to give it a try?

Gao Yao already understood the purpose of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan. From these actions of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, Gao Yao keenly realized that the real purpose deep in the other party's heart was two-way.

He really only cares about one thing - maintaining the normal course of history. To this end, he did not hesitate to use the powerful and complex hand of the court to deal with him. At the same time, Yi Xiaochuan also cleverly used the military strength of the southern border to suppress the military power of the court army to a certain extent.

Today's history has changed dramatically. In the original historical trajectory, Gao Yao and Hu Hai colluded with each other, causing the entire Qin Empire to fall into serious internal and external troubles. Zhao Gao recklessly eliminated dissidents with extremely cruel means; and Hu Hai was even more tyrannical and cruel. As a result, the entire court was full of resentment and everyone was in danger.

Many of the Qin dynasty's loyal ministers and capable generals did not die on the battlefield, but were killed by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao. In the end, although the fall of the Qin dynasty was fueled by the uprisings in various places, another important factor was actually due to the extreme chaos and corruption within the dynasty.

After the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan successfully supported Fusu to ascend the throne, he cleverly avoided the above-mentioned bad situation. Although he still had to face the aggressive rebels at this time, the profound foundation of the Qin Empire was still alive, and many loyal and capable ministers and generals still stayed at their posts and served the country.

Of course, Fusu's decision to enfeoff the kings undoubtedly triggered many doubts throughout the Qin court. Many people expressed their confusion and concern about his move, believing that this move seriously shook Fusu's own authority. However, from the overall perspective, the negative impact of this decision on the profound foundation of the Qin Empire was relatively small. Because of this, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan had enough confidence to adopt such a seemingly risky strategy.

"My husband, please rest assured. The people sent to pick them up have arrived safely in the county town, and we have arranged for them to stay. Do you want to see them?"

Gao Yao nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then ordered: "Well, go and invite Zhang Liang to see me."

At this moment, Gao Yao knew very well that this fierce battle was far from over, and neither his side nor the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's side could easily determine the outcome.

"Husband, why don't we take a rest first? You just woke up and your body is still very weak. Isn't it a bit too hasty to act in such a hurry..." Lu Zhi looked at Gao Yao with a worried face. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but persuade him.

In the original history, the reason why Lv Zhi gradually became ruthless and evil was actually due to the hardships and experiences she had experienced. Especially after Liu Bang successfully conquered the world, he was wary of the Lv family and became increasingly indifferent to Lv Zhi. It was these factors that became the key reasons for all the tragedies.

However, at this moment, Lv Zhi had not personally experienced those painful past events, so her concern for Gao Yao was genuine and heartfelt. She stared at the shocking scars on Gao Yao's body, and her heart ached when she thought that if it weren't for God's blessing, Gao Yao would not be able to come back alive. But Gao Yao had just woken up from a coma not long ago, and his wounds had not even healed completely, but he couldn't wait to worry about the battle in front of him. Lv Zhi was really distressed.

Hearing Lu Zhi's advice, Gao Yao smiled slightly and comforted her softly: "Haha, don't worry, I know my physical condition very well. This time it's just excessive physical exertion. I just need to rest for two more days and I will be back to normal. It's nothing serious. Lu Su, remember to ask the kitchen to prepare more delicious meals and nourishing soups to nourish my body." After that, Gao Yao forced himself to sit up.

"Yes!" After listening to Gao Yao's instructions, Lu Zhi and Lu Su looked at each other and nodded and left. At this time, Xiao Yue went to get some toiletries to wipe Gao Yao's body, while Yu Su helped Gao Yao stretch his muscles little by little.

They persuaded him, but everyone in the mansion knew Gao Yao's character. Gao Yao either didn't say anything, but once he spoke, he was firm and would not allow others to have any objections. He seemed very strong, but in fact, most of Gao Yao's decisions were not particularly excessive.

Soon after the food was ready, Xiaoyue simply wiped Gao Yao's body. Gao Yao then stood up and walked to the main hall with the help of the two. Gao Yao had medical skills and was very familiar with his physical condition. He just consumed too much energy. His muscles were in a tense state for a long time, and once they relaxed, they needed a lot of events to recover.

After sitting at the table, Gao Yao didn't say anything polite and immediately started to eat heartily without paying attention to anything else. He didn't notice Zhang Liang until he arrived at the door of the main hall. The messenger wanted to pass on the message but was stopped by Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang watched Gao Yao eating heartily from a distance and felt relieved.

To Zhang Liang, Gao Yao was a rare wise leader. Zhang Liang was also very worried about Gao Yao's injury. Now that Gao Yao was fine, he was naturally very relieved. Why would he let the messenger disturb Gao Yao? Instead, he stood quietly in the courtyard and waited for Gao Yao to finish his meal.
