General Qin

Time has entered the season of Mengchun, the frost on the earth is receding, and the spring breeze blows across the earth, bringing a touch of coolness.

spring is coming.

Xianyang City, the mansion of Marquis Wugong.

In the warm room, Zhao Tuo rolled a special small ball on the ground.

Little Zhao Che, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately crawled over with hands and feet, hugged the little ball in his arms with two little hands, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and giggled, very cute.

Ying Yinman walked in, and when she saw this scene, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and said angrily, "Why are you playing ball on the ground again?"

"Train the coordination of his hands and feet. You can see how flexible Che'er is. He can climb much faster than yesterday."

Zhao Tuo said with a smile.

Ying Yinman curled her lips: "The nurse said that a child of Che'er's age can already practice walking, but if you insist on saying that it's not good for a child to walk early, and his legs will turn into circles, Che'er is not allowed to learn to walk." .”

Zhao Tuo said convincingly: "In the first place, children are young and their bones have not yet been finalized. If they walk early, they will easily deform."

"Didn't Lao Tzu say that 'people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows the nature'? I think he said it very well. Everything in the world is better to let nature take its course. When it's time to walk, I will Let's go, why let him learn early."

Ying Yinman narrowed her eyes, and said with a sneer, "You are a young man who is very experienced in raising children. Did you have other children before?"

Zhao Tuo's forehead was sweating, and he pretended to be angry and said: "Nonsense, do you understand the method of Gongshu, it is written on the fragment of Gongshu!"

Ying Yinman didn't believe that Zhao Tuo would do such a thing, but when he saw that he pushed everything on the remnants of Gongshu, he also said angrily: "Everything is Gongshu Gongshu, I don't believe Lu Ban, a carpenter, what else can he write?" Yu... There is also the matter of raising a child, which is simply unheard of. I think you are talking nonsense, saying that if a child walks early, the legs will become ring-shaped. I was also raised by a wet nurse, and I walked early. Circle shape!"

As she spoke, Ying Yinman picked up the hem of her skirt angrily.

Zhao Tuo took a look.

Straight, smooth and fair.

This is the best counterattack to Zhao Tuo's theory.

But Zhao Tuo was an ever-victorious general who had never lost a battle.

He refused to admit defeat and muttered: "Why not, sometimes on the couch, you are not a circle..."

"Zhao Tuo, you are shameless!"

Ying Yinman yelled angrily and rushed forward.

The two "scrambled" into a ball.

Little Zhao Che held the little ball in his arms, tilted his head and looked at his parents, his big round eyes were full of curiosity and confusion.

After a while, the young couple were having fun, and the room became quiet again.

Ying Yinman leaned in Zhao Tuo's arms, put her arms around his waist, and suddenly thought of something.

She said: "Just now I heard from someone that the county captain Shuqi seems to be coming back. He is really good at escaping. Every time he loses a battle, he can escape."

Zhao Tuo was startled, then he knew she was talking about Li You, shook his head and said, "I don't really believe in odd numbers or something, I think Brother Li's tactics are wrong, he was too hasty, the fire attack It’s okay to use it for emergency rescue and surprise attack, how can anyone use this method to fight all the time. If I told Ting Wei as I said before, he wouldn’t be defeated in the southwest.”

Ying Yinman showed a sly look: "You speak nicely, so will you let this Lieutenant of Qi Qi serve as your lieutenant general and go out to fight?"

Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitched and he fell silent.

It was rumored that Li Youshu was odd and defeated Li Xin.

Zhao Tuo naturally didn't believe it. In the battle against Chu, there was Lord Changping in the army. Anyone who went there would have suffered a disastrous defeat, not to mention that Li Xin had already floated to the sky at that time. , What does it have to do with Li You?

Zhao Tuo believed that Li You was innocent.

But believe it or not, let him team up with Li You, then forget it.

Some things, even if you don't believe it, you still have to feel hairy.

Zhao Tuo sighed instead: "Most likely there is no chance. With the emperor's character, it is estimated that Brother Li will not be able to go to the battlefield again this time."

Ying Yinman snorted and said, "I heard that a person with an odd number means that he has a bad luck and is unfavorable. Even if he doesn't go to the battlefield, it's still an odd number, it's the same everywhere."

Speaking of which.

Ying Yinman patted her chest again, and said with some fear: "Fortunately, I didn't marry him back then, or I might have been killed by this guy early."

Zhao Tuo was stunned.

...

Outside Xianyang City, beside the road, a carriage is waiting here.

Gold and jade ornaments are hung on the carriage, luxurious and extravagant, showing the noble status of the owner.

An old man and a young man were standing beside the car, looking at the road leading to the southwest in the distance.

When Qin people passing by saw this scene, they all walked away far away, not daring to come to disturb them.

"Father, brother is quite lucky to come back this time. If he still goes to fight, there is no guarantee what will happen next time. I think it is better to stay in Xianyang in the future."

Li Yu said softly.

Li Si's face was expressionless, but his chin nodded imperceptibly.

He knew what his second son meant and agreed with it.

Li You was ecstatic to be able to come back alive this time.

In the same way, in the previous campaign against Chu and this time, Li You was defeated twice, and he didn't know his life and death twice, which made him, an old father, really fed up with worrying.

Li Si's eyes were firm, he had already made up his mind, and he didn't want to go through it again for the third time.

This time, he will use his father's authority to decide his son's future.

Li Si looked at the Southwest Avenue, where several knights were guarding a dusty carriage and slowly approaching.

Sitting in the carriage, Li You could already see the figure waiting on the roadside in the distance.

He took a deep breath.

The car stopped and the horse stopped.

Li You got out of the car and looked at his old father with gray hair and beard, feeling very uncomfortable.

His father, such a strong person, is now grey, because he is worried about him.

"Father, you are worried about your son's incompetence."

Li You knelt down and kowtowed, his eyes were already moist.

With trembling lips, Li Si stretched out his hand to help Li You up, and said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

On the side, Li Yu also saluted and said: "My brother has returned safely, and my father and I are finally relieved."

Li You nodded to his younger brother, looking at Xianyang City in the distance, feeling in a trance.

"Go home, your mother is also very worried, and has been waiting for you to go back."

Li Si patted his son on the shoulder and motioned Li You to return with him in the same car.

Li You followed silently into the car.

In the car, Li Si said indifferently: "Come back this time, don't go out again. The Qin Dynasty is all equal, and you don't need to go to the battlefield to fight again. I will find a job for you in Xianyang, so that I can serve you and me in the future." It's on the mother's side."

Li You's body shook violently.

In the past, Li Si praised him very much for his idea of ​​making contributions in the battlefield, and even encouraged him when he was down.

Now, he said such words.

"It seems that my father has been completely disappointed in me."

Li You sighed in his heart.

If it was in the past, he might have argued with reason and continued to pursue his dream of fighting in the battlefield and being promoted.

but now……

Li You nodded silently.

Only when he occasionally looked back to the southwest.

There was melancholy in his eyes.

Goodbye, the dream of fighting on the battlefield.

In the distance, Qin people who passed by were all surprised when they saw this scene.

Within half a day, the news that Commander Shuqi had returned to Xianyang spread throughout the city, causing discussions among many Qin people.

"Shuqi is also good at escaping, as expected of Li Paopao!"

"He can run away by himself. The poor men from Daqin who followed him to the battle are all lost in the hands of the barbarians."

"well……"

"I hope the emperor will punish him severely this time!"

"Yes, he must never be allowed to go to the battlefield again. What if my son follows such a general in the future, what shall we do?"

After watching the excitement, all the people in Qin were wondering what kind of punishment this miserably defeated Commander of Counties would receive?

Two days later, the Great Court Meeting of Qin State will be held soon.

As one of the top nobles in the Great Qin Dynasty, Marquis Marquis Zhao Tuo had already received some bits and pieces of news before the court meeting was held.

After digesting the information, Zhao Tuo was already dumbfounded.

"Is the emperor crazy!"

"What is he doing!"
