Chapter 729: Xiao He’s insights, the glory of the core layer!

"Well, this method is indeed good, Xiao He, your idea is feasible! Since you already have such a good idea, let you communicate with Wu She about this matter." After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Xiao He thought for a while and expressed his agreement.

"What? Prime Minister, you are not..." Xiao He was shocked and looked at Gao Yao in disbelief. He swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

Seeing this, Gao Yao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, "Oh, it's already been decided, this is it, after all, it was you who came up with the idea. As for the final result, that depends on your own efforts and achievements!" His tone was relaxed and teasing, and he seemed to be confident about the decision.

Xiao He looked at Gao Yao's smug look, and although he was somewhat reluctant, he had no choice. At this point, he could only bite the bullet and agree, "Yes!"

At this time, Xiao He was like a duck being forced to do something, with no way out. He secretly complained in his heart, he didn't expect Gao Yao to change so quickly, and he obviously had some careful arrangements for the future. Judging from the current situation, Wu She will definitely be promoted and smoothly enter the core layer, which is almost a foregone conclusion.

Gao Yao specifically asked him to handle this matter, which must have a special purpose. Xiao He couldn't help but start to think deeply, what exactly was Gao Yao planning?

According to the current situation, there is no doubt that the purpose of doing so must be to maintain a friendly relationship between himself and Wu She. However, it is obviously unrealistic to directly win Wu She over to his side. After all, Xiao He does not think that Gao Yao will turn a blind eye to such things as forming a clique for personal gain.

Then, the only possibility is to maintain a relatively good relationship with Wu She. Today, Gao Yao's generals and officials at all levels probably add up to more than 10,000 people. In such a large group, the importance of factions is self-evident, and background is also crucial.

Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Han Xin all followed Gao Yao when he first arrived in Nanjun or soon after he arrived in Nanjun. They were all legitimate. However, the others were not necessarily so. Wu She's identity was quite special. He was originally a surrendered general. Xiao He secretly speculated that it was very likely that Gao Yao intended to let the core members start to accept the idea of ​​surrendering generals.

The current core layer is mainly composed of Xiao He, Han Xin, Cao Shen and Zhang Liang. Although Zhang Liang joined relatively late, he did show outstanding talents in all aspects.

Not only that, Zhang Liang also had strong support behind him. He was recommended to Gao Yao by the Four Elders of Shangshan, and Shangshan Academy has now become a talent cradle in the southern border, and can be called a talent base. According to statistics, nearly 40% of grassroots officials are from Shangshan Academy, which is a very amazing proportion. In the military, although the number is relatively small, nearly 10% of officers are from Shangshan Academy, which is undoubtedly a very strong capital.

Now let's talk about Erniu. He has now changed his name to Gaoniu, and is in charge of the Fourth Legion, stationed near the Peacock Kingdom. Gaoniu is a natural member of the core layer. If it were in the past, he might be completely ignored, after all, he was just the commander of Gao Yao's personal soldiers. However, now he is in charge of the Fourth Legion, which is a real hard power, so he must have a place in the core layer.

In addition, there is also Chen Hao, who also comes from an orthodox family. He is now the commander of Gao Niu, and he is also a talent that Gao Yao has discovered with his discerning eyes. Before this, Chen Hao had already been entrusted with an important task and served as the garrison commander of Nanhai County City, which shows Gao Yao's trust and respect for him. Although the military position is not high, such an important position is not something that ordinary people can get.

In addition to these people, there is another person who must be mentioned, that is Li Zhao. Today, Li Zhao can be said to have successfully entered the ranks of the core layer. However, Xiao He did not have too many concerns about Li Zhao.

Li Zhao's advantage is that he is extremely knowledgeable. At present, he is working as a civil servant in Gaoyao, and he performs very well in his clerical work. However, no one is perfect, and Li Zhao also has obvious shortcomings. He has actually experienced relatively few changes, which makes him often seem to be a little theoretical and lack of sufficient experience when dealing with some practical problems.

In addition, Ying Bu of the Third Corps is also very likely to enter the core layer in the near future. After all, his contributions are there, and everyone can see it. Especially in this Battle of Hanzhong, Ying Bu's outstanding military exploits have made him the focus of everyone's attention. It is foreseeable that once the Battle of Hanzhong comes to an end, Ying Bu is very likely to successfully enter the core layer with enough achievements.

As time went by, the number of core members gradually increased. Xiao He thought to himself that he seemed to have vaguely guessed Gao Yao's intentions. Obviously, Gao Yao was making careful arrangements and preparations for the future. In Xiao He's view, this was undoubtedly a good thing. This showed that Gao Yao had a longer-term plan and consideration for the future, which was undoubtedly crucial to the development of the entire team.

"Okay, stop beating around the bush and just tell me what's going on!" Gao Yao looked at Xiao He expressionlessly, but in his heart he was secretly guessing what he was up to. He was not naive enough to think that Xiao He was just here to visit him.

Gao Yao slowly sat down beside Xiao He, his movements graceful and calm. He took out an exquisite wooden cigarette case from his pocket and gently opened it. Inside, cigarettes were neatly arranged. He took out a cigarette skillfully, held it to his lips, and lit it with an oil lamp.

With a "hiss", the cigarette was lit, Gao Yao took a deep breath, the smoke swirled in his mouth, and then he exhaled slowly. His action seemed a little careless, but in fact, it was just a way for him to relieve mental stress.

In this era, although tobacco leaves had been produced, due to its scarcity and strict control, only high-ranking military and political leaders were qualified to enjoy it, and ordinary people had no access to it at all.

Seeing this, Xiao He knew that Gao Yao was ready to listen, so he stopped beating around the bush and got straight to the point: "The envoy from the King of Wei has arrived, so I come to visit you every day. After all, Han Xin is still anxiously waiting for news!"
