Chapter 492 The real intention, this is the real good stuff!

"Third, this is exactly what the Prime Minister is thinking about! When we face those alien races whose strength is far inferior to ours, we need to show our overwhelming power to the fullest. The stronger and more fierce our army is, and the more advanced the weapons and equipment we possess, the stronger the fear in the hearts of these enemies will be, and they will never dare to offend our army easily."

"Through this battle, we will completely crush the fighting courage of the other dukes in the Peacock Kingdom. Some people may think that mobilizing so many troops to deal with such an opponent is a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but in fact, doing so can at least ensure that the opponent will not dare to act rashly against our army for a considerable period of time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is very likely that some dukes will choose to surrender to the prime minister under pressure and express their intention to submit to us."

"Only by successfully achieving this goal can these weapons be said to be fully utilized and truly play their due role and value. As the Prime Minister said in the past: If weapons are not created for the purpose of fighting on the battlefield, then their existence will become meaningless; however, if weapons are merely used as tools to provoke war, then it is also meaningless! Sometimes, the deterrent power of weapons far exceeds the effect of their actual use on the battlefield."

After Cao Shen finished speaking these words, Gao Yao was a little surprised for a moment. Gao Yao didn't remember that he had spoken so clearly before. It can even be said that he had never thought of achieving such an effect. This was all Cao Shen's own expression and association.

In fact, this statement is equivalent to a subtle and clever way of praising and flattering Gao Yao. Gao Yao could not help but admire it. If this statement came from someone else, he might not care too much, but now that the person who said this was Cao Shen, Gao Yao could not help but feel a little proud and proud. After all, it is not easy to get praise from someone as mature and steady as Cao Shen.

Gao Yao smiled, waved his hand and said, "Okay, Cao Shen, we are all family, there is no need to be like this. Don't flatter the Prime Minister like this in the future!"

Hearing Gao Yao's rebuke with a hint of smile, Cao Shen hurriedly responded, "Yes!" His respectful and obedient look really made people feel a little funny.

Xiao He, Han Xin and Zhang Liang, who were standing nearby, saw this scene. The three of them looked at what was happening in front of them with contempt on their faces and secretly grumbled in their hearts. Especially Xiao He, who had always thought that Cao Shen was an honest man who was upright, rigid and taciturn, but he didn't expect that he had learned the skills of flattery and bootlicking. Thinking of this, Xiao He couldn't help but glared at Cao Shen fiercely, as if blaming him for becoming so sophisticated and smooth.

As for Han Xin, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile. He was obviously very surprised by Cao Shen's sudden change of behavior. After all, Cao Shen was also half a teacher of Han Xin in actual combat. Zhang Liang shook his head gently and sighed, seeming to be quite surprised by Cao Shen's change. The upright Cao Shen of the past,

Cao Shen naturally also saw the gazes from Han Xin and Xiao He, and he smiled slightly. This was a different time. Gao Yao's status was rising, and the probability of him conquering the world in the future was greatly increased. Cao Shen just didn't like to compete, but it didn't mean that Cao Shen was stupid. When it was time to show off, Cao Shen still knew to show off, not only for himself, but also for the people following him.

Now, including Han Xin, they all have descendants, and Cao Shen and Xiao He are both in their forties. Han Xin already has children, so even if they don't consider themselves, they should consider their descendants. In particular, Gao Yao's decree is equivalent to not restricting capable descendants from entering the court, and mainly looking at ability rather than family background.

What these nobles can leave to their descendants are mainly money and treatment, but no rights, so they must fight for more military merits and seek more resources for their descendants.

"Okay, today I asked you to come here not only for this matter, but also for another matter, huh!"

Gao Yao straightened his voice at this time, and nodded directly to the guards beside him. Then the guards immediately led the rest of the people around to retreat, leaving only Xiao He and the other four. This change also surprised Xiao He and the others for a while.

After all, the personal guards had all withdrawn, which was a very rare situation. The personal guards were equivalent to Gao Yao's most loyal people, and their importance was even far above theirs. Gao Yao asked the personal guards to withdraw at this time, which meant that what he was going to say next was very important, to the point that even the personal guards could not know it.

After the guards had all left, Gao Yao took out a small square jade box from his arms. When the jade box was opened, several pills were placed inside. This scene made Han Xin and the others look puzzled.

"As you all know, I am well versed in medicine. The contents of this box are the result of years of research. The pills in it are extracted from precious herbs found all over the world. The first pill you take can extend your life by twenty years, the second pill by five years, and the third pill by two years. Taking pills after that will be useless. In addition, this medicine can also enhance your physical fitness and increase your martial arts strength."

After hearing this, the people present were all stunned. If Gao Yao hadn't said this, they would have sneered. After all, extending life by twenty years, which was definitely half a lifetime in the Qin Dynasty where the average life expectancy was under fifty years old, if three pills were taken in succession, the life span would be close to thirty years. This was definitely a miracle drug.

Everyone in the world knows that Qin Shihuang has been seeking immortality and seeking immortality for a long time, but most people understand that it is just a foolish dream. However, Gao Yao's words now made everyone a little stunned for a while.

At this time, Gao Yao took out two pills and put them into Xiao He's hand. Xiao He was so shocked that he knelt on the ground.

"Prime Minister, please take back this medicine. This kind of magical medicine should be taken by the Prime Minister and the mistress. I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot accept it."

At this time, Xiao He was not pretending to refuse. This magical medicine must be very precious. Gao Yao himself, Lu Zhi and others in his family, as well as Gao Yao's descendants, were all much more important than himself, so they must be more worthy of taking it than himself.
