Chapter 482 Then use an open conspiracy to deal with an open conspiracy!

Listening to Xiao He's words, Gao Yao also sat on the chair and closed his eyes slightly and began to think. He couldn't help but admire this strategy in his heart. At the same time, Gao Yao was also thinking about who came up with this strategy.

Today, Yi Xiaochuan is with Xiang Yu, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan is in Sishui County, and there are some people of this era who are extremely talented. Even if they are not under his command, they cannot appear among the already lonely Wang Ben and Wang Li.

Gao Yao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If it is true! History only records a part of these characters. It turns out that there are so many talented people in the world." He was well aware of the complexity of the current situation, especially the issue of whether to accept Wang Ben's surrender. There were many mysteries and variables hidden behind it.

"Let alone the situation in Hanzhong, the issue of whether these people should stay or go is enough to give me a headache. If I agree to Wang Ben and others' surrender, then the first thing I need to face is how to settle them. If it is not handled properly, not only will I be branded as someone who does not treat surrenderers well, but it may also lead to a series of unpredictable consequences. But if they are properly settled, the current situation where Gongzi Gao is the only one in power will be broken. These people are very likely to support Gongzi Gao wholeheartedly, thus making Gongzi Gao's voice in the court more and more important."

Thinking of this, Gao Yao had already seen through the most insidious and cunning aspect of the other party's plan, but the key to this conspiracy was that even though he knew that the other party had ulterior motives, he could not flatly refuse it.

Listening to Gao Yao's words, Xiao He nodded in agreement. There was nothing wrong with what Gao Yao said. This was indeed the trouble that might be caused in the future. As for the possibility that the other party was really willing to surrender, Gao Yao basically did not consider it too much, and Xiao He did not think that the other party would have such an idea.

"Xiao He, what do you think if I just..." Gao Yao said this while raising his right hand and making a chopping motion with a knife, a hint of ruthlessness on his face.

Seeing this, Xiao He was shocked and shook his head repeatedly, trying to dissuade him: "Prime Minister, you must not do this! If we act rashly at this moment, not only will all our previous efforts be wasted, and the series of measures we have taken before will be wasted, but it will also cause panic and unrest in the southern border! Although your prestige in the southern border is now at its peak, if you are not careful, it will still have a huge negative impact, especially on the future development of the situation, which is immeasurable. Therefore, killing people rashly is definitely a bad idea!"

Xiao He knew that this matter was serious. If he could really kill the enemy, why would he be so worried and entangled? Seeing that Gao Yao seemed to be wavering, he continued to persuade him earnestly: "Prime Minister, please think twice before you act!"

Gao Yao frowned and muttered in annoyance, "It's not right to kill him, and it's not right not to kill him. It's really a dilemma! Wait, I seem to have suddenly thought of a solution!" At this point, Gao Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

Xiao He was invigorated when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "Oh? What good plan did the Prime Minister come up with?"

Xiao He actually had a way to deal with this matter in his mind, but there were still some unavoidable problems. Xiao He's method was relatively conventional, but he had not explained it yet. It was considered the last resort.

Of course, people should accept it, otherwise the reputation accumulated by the careful preparation before will be destroyed, which will have a huge negative impact on Gao Yao's prestige! So this surrender must be accepted no matter what, but after accepting the surrender, action must be taken immediately. The first thing is to disperse all the subordinates originally belonging to Wang Ben and Wang Li, disrupt the organization and assign them to different legions.

In this way, the military power held by the two of them can be weakened to the greatest extent. Even if the two are still allowed to stay in office, they can only be given positions such as staff officers, and reliable people can be arranged to exert pressure on them. Through these means, at least in the short term, there is no need to worry about them causing any trouble in the army.

In addition, there are also court officials on the southern border, as well as those who were related to the Qin royal family in the past. Since they intend to surrender to the current Prince Gao, the newly enthroned King of Qin, some old accounts must be settled. Even if they choose to surrender, they must not be easily forgiven for their past mistakes. Only in this way can the government be thoroughly rectified and the majesty of the new regime be established.

In this name, the status and influence of the ministers who came from the Qin Dynasty can be weakened in the court, so as to curb the development of these surrendered ministers of the Qin Dynasty in the court. This two-pronged approach has obvious advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the effect is very significant in the short term, but in the long run, the effect is very general. After all, as long as they are not completely eradicated, these people may unite to cause trouble for Gao Yao.

"Since they want to come, let them come. Since they want a high position, give them the high position. Since the other party is using an open conspiracy against us, we can also respond with an open conspiracy in the same way."

"What does the Prime Minister mean?"

"No hurry, let's meet this General Lu first. Go and make arrangements so that he can meet the King of Qin directly tomorrow."

"Here...here"

Listening to Gao Yao's words, Xiao He roughly knew that Gao Yao was intentionally keeping him in suspense, but this meeting was unavoidable. It was impossible to leave him there idle forever, so Xiao He did as Gao Yao instructed.

When General Lu got the news, he couldn't help but feel surprised. He really didn't understand. Originally, General Lu thought that as long as he could successfully reach the capital of Nanhai County, he would be temporarily safe and he would have completed the first step.

In order to arrive smoothly, Lu Wan was disguised as dead, and he spread the news all the way while heading towards the county city. However, the speed of spreading the news was always one or two cities slower than his speed. He was afraid that Gao Yao would guess his purpose after learning the news, and then kill him without saying a word. After all, as long as he didn't receive the news, he could treat it as if nothing had happened.

After arriving at the county town, he originally thought that Gao Yao would be the first person to see him, but he suddenly received the news that he would meet the King of Qin, Prince Gao, the next day. This was really beyond Jiang Lu's expectations, but Jiang Lu could not guess the deep meaning of this. Did Gao Yao do it on purpose, or did he not understand his purpose at all?
