Chapter 404 Wei Huo

"Big Father!"

“Oh ~~”

Zhao Kuo smiled and picked up Xiao Fusu, and the two rubbed their cheeks. Zhao Kuo really loved his eldest grandson very much. Fusu was the same, especially love his eldest father. The eldest father was happy and loved him very much, not as serious as his father. As Xiao Fusu grew up, Ying Zheng's requirements for him became more and more harsh, and he no longer even pampered him as before. Of course, this was normal.

Most of the concepts at this time are like this. Because the eldest sons are often the heirs, the father will have strict requirements on them, but they will not be so strict with those concubines. Therefore, Zhao Kuo saw many cases of traveling through time and becoming concubines and being bullied by their family members. In this era, the cultivation of heirs is very important, so the elder sons must start to receive education in all aspects when they are very young, including moral etiquette.

Parents often prefer young children and are very strict with the eldest son, just hoping that they can grow up as soon as possible. Fusu is still young, but his father has begun to treat him coldly and will teach him some truths when he meets him. Of course, Zhao Kuo doesn't do this. Education is education, how can he treat children like this? He favors Fusu in every way, so Fusu often escapes to Zhao Kuo.

Ying Zheng was a little angry, believing that Zhao Kuo's behavior was not conducive to the cultivation of his successors, and whenever Zhao Kuo scolded him, I didn't do this to you at the beginning, so why didn't it affect your education?

Xiao Fusu is a very gentle child. He inherited the kindness of his mother. He doesn't like playing with swords and swords, nor does he like the war stories told by Zhao Kang. He prefers to listen to his eldest father holding him in his arms and telling some interesting stories about wise men. He is the darling of the whole family. Even Shan likes him very much and always wants to take him out to play. Xiao Fusu never makes the family angry, he is very obedient and sensible.

Every time Zhao Kuo looked at him, he would look at Zhao Kang involuntarily, and then let out a helpless sigh.

After Zhao Kang got married, there were some changes. At least she would not clamor for hunting in the mountains as before, and would not do things on a whim. Zhao Kang also officially separated and lived opposite Zhao Kuo. His wife called Yun. It can be seen that the Wang family wanted to make her a lady proficient in musical poetry. Unfortunately, she did not seem to grow up as her family members. Like Zhao Kang, she was impatient and had a hot temper.

Of course, she still respects Zhao Kuo and Yi very much, but she is not so friendly when facing Zhao Kang.

After the two got married, they quarreled almost every day. Every time they quarreled, Zhao Kang always came to Yi to complain. They quarreled very hard, but the speed of reconciliation was very fast, almost no more than an hour, and the two stood together with a smile. Every time they quarreled, they were very loud, making Zhao Kuo want to copy sticks. In this way, as Yun's belly gradually grew bigger, it improved.

Zhao Kang no longer dared to say anything, because Zhao Kuo and Yi told him that if you dare to quarrel with her now, I will break your leg!

Zhao Kang felt that his father didn't seem to be joking.

Sitting in the courtyard, Zhao Kang lowered his head, and sighed and held the rice in front of Yun. Yun was slightly fat and had a baby fat face. She picked up the food brought by Zhao Kang and started eating it in big mouthfuls. Zhao Kang looked at her and couldn't help but say, "You eat more than me now... Just eat like this!" Yun was stunned, looked at Zhao Kang angrily, and put down his job heavily.

"Then I won't eat it!"

"Oh, I'm just teasing you. Have a quick meal, eat it, why don't I feed you?"

Zhao Kang hurriedly smiled again, sat in front of his wife, looked at her high bulge, and couldn't help laughing again, feeding his wife and children. Zhao Kang then breathed a sigh of relief, Yun ordered, "Remember to wash the dishes." Zhao Kang sighed again, continuing to do housework, but couldn't help complaining: "I should have listened to my parents, I should study hard, I should start a family later..."

"What? Do you regret getting married with me?"

"Haha, of course not... but, Yun, look, in front of your parents, just give me some face and ask me to yell at you. When you get home, you can yell at me anyway. What do you think?"

"OK."

Zhao Kang continued to do things and muttered in a low voice: "This is all retribution, it is retribution..."

Since he got married, Yun has grasped Zhao Kang firmly, not allowed him to do anything wrong, forbidden him to drink, and not allowed him to go out at night. Zhao Kuo was unable to control him, but Zhao Kang's wife accomplished this feat. Zhao Kang was honest at home, even when he had a quarrel, he only dared to complain to his mother. He was really happy to hear it. After being busy at home for a while, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Zhao Kang hurriedly shook his hand, raised his head, acted as proud as usual, and opened the door.

When the door was opened, there was no one. Zhao Kang lowered his head, but saw Xiao Fusu.

Zhao Kang smiled and squatted down, pinched Xiao Fusu's cheek, rubbed it into various shapes, and asked, "Why are you here? Do you want Zhongfu to take you to hunt?" Fusu let Zhongfu rub his face, widen his eyes, and said vaguely, "Big Father asked you to go over." Zhao Kang picked him up and walked into Zhao Kuo's mansion. Walking on the road, Zhao Kuo couldn't help asking, "When your eldest father asked you to call me, did he look happy or angry?"

"The eldest father looks very angry..."

Zhao Kang thought it was not good, but he hadn't gone out these days and hadn't done anything to make his father angry. He frowned, thought for a moment, and said to Fusu: "I have something I want you to help."

"Father Zhong, please give me instructions."

"If your eldest father gets angry with me later, you will cry and cry loudly. As long as you can do it, I will buy you something delicious."

"good!"

Xiao Fusu made this deal with Zhongfu. Zhao Kang carried him into the courtyard and walked into the courtyard. He did not see his mother or Shan. His father frowned and seemed to be in a very bad mood. Li Mu and Sima Shang were sitting beside him. Seeing these two people, Zhao Kang felt a little relieved. With them, his father would definitely give himself some face.

He put down Fusu in his arms, paid homage to his father, Li Mu, Sima Shang and others, and sat among them. After the visit, Zhao Kang asked with a smile, "Why are the two Zhongfu coming?" Both of them looked a little serious. Li Mu said, "The Hu people outside the Great Wall robbed Yunzhong Yanmen... caused the death of thousands of people, robbed a lot of supplies and many people... Yunzhong Yanmen reported this news to Xianyang."

When Zhao Kang heard this, his face became serious. He asked in surprise: "Didn't you wiped out all the Hu people at the beginning? Why did they dare to come?"

"I just severely damaged the Hu people outside the Frontier... It's been a long time since they have recovered. Besides, Zhao State... is destroyed, and we are not in the border area, which gives them an opportunity to take advantage of it." Li Mu said, Li Mu and Sima Shang were both guarding the frontier for a long time to resist the Hu people. After seeing the Hu people plundering, they knew very well how much damage this would cause, and this is also the reason why they are so serious.

"But how could the Hu people know this?"

"Because they have a good friend who is willing to tell them these things... to encourage them to transfer Qin's purpose to protect themselves." Zhao Kuo said coldly. After hearing this, Zhao Kang pondered for a long time and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"Yan King Dan."

In history, Yan Dan had thought about sending Fan Yuqi to the Xiongnu to prevent Qin from killing him. Therefore, Yan Dan had a good relationship with the Hu people outside the Great Wall. The two sides would exchange materials, but it was just like this, and they could not reach a deeper state of alliance.

Zhao Kang was stunned. Of course he knew that Yan Wang Dan was his brother's former friend and had come to his house many times... When he came to his house, he was particularly respectful of his father, but now... Alas, when he sent someone to assassinate his brother, he probably forgot these things. Zhao Kang looked at his father, and he saw that his father's eyes were full of anger. He could understand that after all, he was a person who had received his teachings and now he did such a thing.

What Zhao Kuo could not bear was the massacre of the people, and Zhao Kang knew very well.

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu, and he said, "Most of the generals in Qin have no experience in fighting on the grasslands. These things still depend on you. The battles outside the frontier are different from those in the Central Plains. If an uninformed general goes to the battle, he may even get lost halfway." Li Mu nodded and then looked at Sima Shang. He said, "It seems that we will still hit them hard again so that they know that Li Mu is still there."

"Ha, I know what Li Mu is useful? My name could scare away many Hu people at the beginning!" Sima Shang was a little dissatisfied. Li Mu smiled and said, "However, I don't know the situation of the Qin army, and I have never led the Qin army to fight. I need a helper who understands the Qin people... This is why I invited you." Li Mu looked at Zhao Kang.

Zhao Kang was eager to go out of the frontier for a long time because he hated siege and there were no walls outside the frontier.

Zhao Kang enjoyed such a war very much.

But at this moment, Zhao Kang was obviously hesitant. He looked at Li Mu and Sima Shang in front of him and remained silent. This surprised Zhao Kuo and others very much. Zhao Kang liked war very much. He clamored to fight, but why didn't he speak today? Zhao Kuo was also a little confused about the situation. When he looked at Zhao Kang in front of him, Sima Shang was even more direct, and without caring about Zhao Kuo, he directly asked: "Why don't you speak? Are you scared?"

Zhao Kang smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of my father. How could I be afraid of the Hu people?"

Zhao Kuo frowned, and Zhao Kang hurriedly said, "But, my wife is about to give birth. How could I leave her alone at this time?" Zhao Kang said this, Sima Shang snorted coldly, and did not question him anymore. Li Mu nodded. He looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "We have forgotten this, why don't we let General Meng Wu follow me."

"General Meng Wu is also a powerful general of Qin. If you want him to be your deputy general, can he agree? Even if he agrees, can he fight completely according to your order?" Sima Shang asked back. This is also the reason why Li Mu wanted Zhao Kang to be the deputy general. As a surrendered general, he must find a deputy general of Qin. This is certain. He cannot take Sima Shang out. Of course, familiar with the deputy general of Qin can also help him.

But as a surrendered general, he couldn't let Wang Jian and Meng Wu and others be their deputy generals.

Even if they were willing, they might not obey the surrendered Zhao people, so Zhao Kang is the best candidate.

Zhao Kuo did not think of blaming Zhao Kang. He said, "I heard that General Meng Wu has a son called Meng Tian. Why not let Wang Ben and Meng Tian follow you to the battle." Li Mu looked confused, obviously not knowing who these two were. Zhao Kang looked at them, pondered for a moment, and said, "Please wait for me, I will go back." Zhao Kang turned around and left here. His courtyard was opposite, a few steps away.

When Zhao Kang returned home and walked into the inner room, Yun was sitting on the bed and stroking her belly. When she saw Zhao Kang, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Where have you been?"

Zhao Kang was silent. Seeing Zhao Kang's appearance, Yun also felt something was wrong. She asked again: "What's wrong?"

"The Hu people outside the border robbed Yunzhong, Yanmen, General Li Mu wanted me to follow him to fight."

Yun Dai was stunned for a moment, stood up carefully, walked to Zhao Kang, and she said seriously: "Then I will prepare something for you, go early and come back early."

"But you...this..." Zhao Kang looked at her belly, wanting to speak but stopping.

"It doesn't matter. If you have mothers and others to take care of me, don't worry... Besides, the Hu people robbed, and there must be many people in Yanmen in Yunzhong. Go and save them. I will hold our children and wait for you to come back." Yun said, and then he was going to prepare the luggage for Zhao Kang to go out. Zhao Kang grabbed Yun's hand and pulled her into his arms. Zhao Kang held his wife and said in her ear: "Thank you."

Zhao Kang quickly returned to Zhao Kuo's courtyard building. He looked much happier than he had when he left just now. He strode into the courtyard, looked at Li Mu proudly, and asked, "General, when will we set off?"

Li Mu stood up, and it seemed that there was no need to find anyone else. He looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "Brother, this time, I must make the Hu people outside the Great Wall not dare to approach the Great Wall for 30 years... However, when I go out this time, someone will definitely secretly slander me, and I would like to ask you..."

"Don't worry, if someone dares to slander you and do something different, I will definitely kill him."
