Xiaoyouzhutian, send Yi Xiaochuan to the palace to start

Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng disappeared the day after Yi Xiaochuan disappeared.

Maybe it was because Yi Xiaochuan’s disappearance was too bizarre, they were afraid of being discovered by the officers and soldiers, so they fled.

Liu Hao didn't send anyone to watch them at the beginning, and he didn't expect these guys to run away.

So when he learned that several people were missing, he began to wait for the day when Fusu would open the Juxian Hall.

"Jiang Hao, hurry up and look for your master. It seems that you alone cannot develop such a sophisticated thing."

Liu Hao turned around and looked at a Mohist disciple who was still swinging the cannon barrel and said.

"Yes, my lord! I will look for him somewhere else. I believe that as long as I find the master, he will definitely come out!"

Jiang Hao said with confidence.

This is the development of a cannon that can destroy an enemy with one shot. As the current leader of the Mohist school, Liu Xuanzi will definitely not be able to resist researching it.

Liu Hao had developed gunpowder a long time ago, which consisted of one part saltpeter, two parts yellow, and three parts charcoal. It was not a difficult problem.

However, such a high-precision thing as a cannon was a bit difficult for the genius Liu Hao. After studying it with several Mohist disciples for half a month, there was no progress at all.

He only made a simple cannon barrel, and also produced some other precision parts, but none of them were up to standard. Every profession has its own expertise, and he still didn't master his skills well enough.

Liu Hao nodded when he heard Jiang Hao's words. After walking out of this secret village, they mounted their horses. As the horses neighed, the two of them galloped along the mountain road towards the mansion, one in front and one behind.

"Lord!"

After Liu Hao returned home, he began to summon Han Xin and others.

At this time, Xiahou Ying, Wang Hu, and others arrived one after another. After Xiao He finally entered the door, Liu Hao nodded and said lightly.

"We have been preparing for so long, it's time to let them go out and move around."

Liu Hao's words made several people very excited. They were now strong in both men and horses, and were just waiting to capture cities and strongholds and make military achievements.

"My Lord, in my opinion, why don't we first take over a few surrounding counties, and then slowly nibble away at them."

After thinking for a while, Zhou Bo spoke first.

"If you ask me, we should just launch a massive attack. We have a strong army and well-equipped weapons. There is nothing to be afraid of." Wang Hu spoke his mind and expressed his own opinion.

Cao Shen and the other two expressed their opinions one after another, but Xiao He and Xiahou Ying did not say anything, but just smiled.

"Why are you two so anxious? The lord must have his own plans. Didn't you see that Xiao He and Xia Hou didn't say anything?"

"Just wait for the Lord's arrangements."

After hearing this, Liu Hao's mouth corners slightly raised.

"We are not sending troops this time to go to war with Daqin directly."

"Ah?" Wang Hu, the young and inexperienced man, looked at Liu Hao in surprise.

"Listen to what the lord has to say!" Xiahou Ying glanced at the silly Wang Hu.

"According to the current situation of the Qin Dynasty, even if we don't send troops, I don't think it will last long. After Ying Zheng dies, the world will be in chaos again."

This sentence surprised everyone in the room, and they looked at Liu Hao in amazement.

"My Lord! Are you saying that Ying Zheng is about to die?"

Xiao He's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Hao seriously.

Liu Hao nodded and continued, "In recent years, he has been obsessed with the art of immortality and has frequently traveled around the world, seeking elixirs and miraculous medicines, taking supplements indiscriminately. This has undoubtedly caused great damage to his body."

"In addition, some people in the court, such as Li Si and Zhao Gao, although they appear to be obedient, actually have their own plans."

As Liu Hao's adviser, Xiao He naturally understood the deep meaning of Liu Hao's words.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "My Lord, what you mean is that we just need to wait for the right opportunity and then we can reap the benefits?"

Liu Hao nodded, then shook his head: "It's good to reap the benefits while sitting back, but things in the world change rapidly, and we can't just wait."

"What does the lord mean?" Xiahou Ying was a little confused.

"Store up food, build high walls, and slowly become king."

After hearing this, Xiao He and the others' eyes sparkled, and they said in unison: "My lord, you are so talented!"

Liu Hao shook his head calmly: "We have a lot of food now, enough for an army of 200,000 to use for two years."

"We have 100,000 elite infantry, 30,000 heavy cavalry, 20,000 light cavalry, and 50,000 archers each."

"As early as a month ago, I asked Han Xin, Ying Bu, Long Qie, Ji Bu and others to secretly lead troops to Shu County."

"I think it should be time now."

Yes, now Liu Hao has recruited two-thirds of the senior generals and advisers who followed Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, but Zhang Liang has not been found yet.

With the addition of these people, plus an army of 200,000 well-equipped troops, it would be no problem even if they confronted the Qin Dynasty head-on, but Liu Hao didn't want that.

Liu Hao's words puzzled Xiao He, the top strategist. Why did he go so far away instead of near? Why did he go so far to Shu County?

"There is a saying that goes, to fight against foreign aggressors, one must first stabilize the internal situation."

"Now that Emperor Ying Zheng has not passed away, there will be no chaos for the time being, so we must take advantage of this period of time to eliminate all hidden dangers!"

"It's spring now, which is perfect for conquering all over the world."

"So I decided! To eliminate all aliens!"

"Let all the foreign races such as the Xiongnu, Wusun, and Qiang completely disappear from this world!"

When Liu Hao said this, he stood up and slammed the table. The sound echoed in everyone's hearts like a war drum.

At the same time, a strong aura burst out from him, a domineering... ahem... aura that affected everyone present.

When Xiao He, Xiahou Ying and others heard Liu Hao's words, they were stunned on the spot.

Although they knew that Liu Hao had great ambitions, they did not expect that Liu Hao's vision was not limited to the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

He even wanted to wipe out all alien races.

If we really wipe out all the alien races and gain control of the entire Qin Dynasty, then the territory of the Qin Dynasty will more than double.

(The Qin Dynasty's area was only about one-third of the current country.)

Yes, Liu Hao’s intention was very clear. He would first integrate all the lands belonging to the Chinese people, and then send troops to conquer Goryeo, Baekje, and Japan.

Even all the way to ancient Rome.

"My lord's ambitions are beyond our reach."

Xiao He is now full of admiration for Liu Hao.

The same is true for Xiahou Ying, Wang Hu, Zhou Bo and others.

However, Xiao He's problem arose again.

"My lord, if we send troops to attack the foreigners, even if we can do it without anyone noticing, our military strength will be greatly damaged."

"If Ying Zheng dies, and we don't have enough troops to fight the enemy, what should we do?"

Xiao He's words made everyone fall into silence.

Seeing that several people were stumped by Xiao He's question, Liu Hao smiled meaningfully and spoke.

"Who said that we have to use our own troops to control the Qin Dynasty?"
