Chapter 479: Plan ahead for the north, Nurha is also a pawn!

Hearing Gao Yao's words, Nurha was slightly stunned, and his body stopped involuntarily. He already understood Gao Yao's meaning. Even if he went back now, he might not be able to catch up with anything. Nurha naturally knew that what Gao Yao said was probably true. After all, it took more than half a year to go back and forth, and when he came out, the Huns had already started to attack Tuan.

With hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu iron weapons, it was almost like crushing Tuan's army of more than 10,000 people. Tuan was able to plunder Daqin because Daqin was too lazy to pay attention to Tuan, not because Daqin was really no match for Tuan.

The fact that Gao Yao had led more than a thousand men to raid Tuan's court had crushed Tuan's ambition. Tuan was already in a state of depression, but Nurha knew this too. He could not blame Gao Yao or Daqin. It was Tuan who had been harassing Daqin without knowing the consequences.

"Prime Minister, I......"

"I will pacify this world sooner or later, and the Huns will certainly be a great enemy in the future. I will give you a chance to work under me from now on. This is what you should really do. Do you want to go back and die without knowing your own limitations, or do you want to accumulate strength for revenge in the future? It all depends on your choice."

As Gao Yao finished speaking, he raised his hand to the guards at the door, who immediately put away their weapons and stepped aside.

For Gao Yao, he had reminded Nurha of everything he should and could remind him of. If Nurha was still determined to go back, it meant that Nurha was still a person who was easily swayed by emotions. Although such a person was brave, he was ultimately useless. Gao Yao naturally had no need to train him any further.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Nurha is willing to go through fire and water for you and serve you like a slave. I only hope that one day, you can lend a helping hand to me and avenge my unfortunate Tu'anguo!" After saying this, Nurha kowtowed heavily to the ground, and his forehead made a crisp sound when it hit the ground.

Gao Yao nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Nurha as if examining him, and he said slowly: "Well, get up. Judging from your words and deeds, you are quite shrewd and patient, but after all, you are still young and inexperienced. You must know that in my Southern Border Army, everything is based on military merit and strength. Neither the real appearance nor Princess Yushu can be relied upon by you. Later, I will send someone to lead you into the army for training. Now, my Southern Border is about to send troops to conquer the Peacock Kingdom, and I will arrange you among them. As for whether you can make great military exploits and win honors, it all depends on your own ability. Do you understand?"

"I will follow the Prime Minister's instructions and keep them in mind! Please rest assured, Prime Minister, Nurha is fully aware of the pros and cons and will go all out to fulfill his mission!" Nurha responded respectfully. How could he not know the deep meaning of Gao Yao's words? This was clearly a test to test how capable he, the Prince of Tuan, was. Nurha had already made up his mind. This was a great opportunity for him to show his skills and prove his self-worth, so he would not let it go.

Seeing Nurha's clear and concise answer, Gao Yao showed a hint of satisfaction on his face, raised his hand and said, "Okay, now that we understand, come and take a seat. Today is just an ordinary family dinner, there is no need to be so formal."

After finishing the business, Gao Yao asked Nurha to sit down and took her to eat normally. After the meal, Gao Yao asked the brother and sister who seldom met and were not familiar with each other to contact each other.

Gao Yao could still roughly see that Nurha's arrival and the news that Tuan would be destroyed by the Xiongnu still had some impact on Yu Shu's mentality. This could be regarded as an excuse for Yu Shu to vent.

Of course, Gao Yao had another purpose in accepting Nurha, which was to learn from the barbarians in order to defeat them. It was difficult to build a city in the grassland, and it was not necessarily suitable for the grassland. The best way to govern the grassland was to govern the local area in a local way, and then to abolish the existence of the army to a certain extent, and at the same time vigorously develop animal husbandry and other methods suitable for development and survival on the grassland. This was the real long-term stability.

To achieve this, Nurha could be trained first. There were too many grassland regimes destroyed by the Xiongnu in the same period. However, this undoubtedly gave Gao Yao another way. With Nurha as the starting point, he could send troops and then make fundamental changes to the entire grassland system. However, this was impossible to achieve in the short term. At least it would be possible only after some of the princes in the Central Plains were dealt with first.

Gao Yao went straight back to Xiaoyue to rest. Xiaoyue was the least noticeable among the women, but compared to the other women, it was actually Gao Yao's easiest job to be with Xiaoyue. Yu Shu also had less to do, but now she had more things to take care of, and because of her previous experiences, she was afraid of Gao Yao in her bones.

So when encountering many things, he would choose to ask Gao Yao's opinion, for fear that he would make mistakes or do it poorly. Lu Zhi was smart enough, but too smart. Whatever Gao Yao wanted to do or said, Lu Zhi could basically guess it. It must be good to have such a woman, but it would feel less relaxing when they were together on a daily basis. It really became a feeling of mutual respect.

Gao Yao also knew that Lu Zhi did nothing wrong. After all, in the eyes of many people, Lu Zhi also represented Gao Yao. If Lu Zhi was idle every day, it would be Gao Yao who would lose face.

As for Lu Su, she has finally come to her senses. She is no longer the innocent Lu Su. In addition, she has always been by Gao Yao's side, and she has a lot of thoughts. There are advantages to this, that is, no matter what Gao Yao thinks, Lu Su is willing to cooperate with Gao Yao and please him. As for disadvantages, there are some utilitarianism, and she always hopes for more.

On the other hand, Lu Su already knew about Nurha's appearance, and immediately ran to explain the situation to Lu Zhi. His purpose was very simple, he began to worry about the position of the next generation.

Although he looked inconspicuous, Gao Yao was actually close to forty years old. He was already thirty years old when he first traveled through time. The total time he had spent in this world was not young at all. In the Qin Dynasty, people over forty years old were basically considered middle-aged and elderly. After all, the average life expectancy in the Qin Dynasty could not be calculated according to that of later generations.
