Zhao Kuo hugged little Fusu with a smile, and the two rubbed their cheeks. Zhao Kuo really loved his eldest grandson, and Fusu did the same. He especially loved his elder father, who was cheerful and very kind to him.
Doting is not as serious as his father's. As little Fusu grew up, Ying Zheng became more and more demanding on him, and even no longer doted on him as before. Of course, this is normal.
Most of the concepts at this time are like this, because the eldest sons are often the heirs, so the father will be more demanding on them, but not so strict on the bastards. Therefore, Zhao Kuo has seen many people who traveled through time and became bastards and then
It is rare to be bullied by family members. This era attaches great importance to the training of successors, so legitimate children must begin to receive education in all aspects, including morality and etiquette, at a very young age.
Parents often favor younger children and are very strict with their eldest sons, just hoping that they can grow up as soon as possible. Fusu is still very young, but his father has already begun to treat him coldly, and will teach him some principles when they meet.
Of course, Zhao Kuo would not do this. Education is education, so how could he treat his children like this? He doted on Fusu in every possible way, and Fusu often fled to Zhao Kuo.

Ying Zheng was a little angry, thinking that Zhao Kuo's behavior was not conducive to the training of successors. Whenever this happened, Zhao Kuo would scold him, I didn't treat you like this at the beginning, so why didn't it affect your education?
?
Little Fusu is a very gentle child. He inherited his mother's kindness. He doesn't like to dance with swords, and he doesn't like the war stories told by Zhao Kang. He prefers to listen to his elder father holding him in his arms.
Here, he tells some interesting stories about wise men. He is the darling of the family, and Lian Shan likes him very much and always wants to take him out to play. Little Fusu never makes the family angry, and is very obedient and sensible.
Every time Zhao Kuo looked at him, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Kang, and then let out a helpless sigh.
After Zhao Kang got married, there were some changes. At least he no longer clamored to go hunting in the mountains as before, nor did he do things just because of a whim. Zhao Kang also officially separated and lived across from Zhao Kuo.
His wife was called Yun, and it was obvious that the Wang family wanted her to become a lady who was proficient in music and poetry. Unfortunately, she did not seem to grow up according to the family's requirements. Like Zhao Kang, she was both impatient.
, hot-tempered.
Of course, she still has great respect for Zhao Kuo and Yi, but she is not so friendly to Zhao Kang.
After the two got married, they quarreled almost every day, and every time they quarreled, Zhao Kang always came to Yi to complain. They quarreled fiercely, but they reconciled very quickly. It hardly took more than an hour before the two of them were together again.
They stood together laughing. Every time they quarreled, they were so loud that Zhao Kuo wanted to hit him with a stick. This situation improved as Yun's belly gradually grew bigger.
Zhao Kang no longer dared to fight back because Zhao Kuo and Yi told him that if you still dare to quarrel with her now, I will break your legs!
Zhao Kang felt that his father was not joking.
Sitting in the courtyard, Zhao Kang lowered his head and sighed, holding the rice in front of Yun. Yun was slightly fat and had some baby fat on her face. She picked up the food brought by Zhao Kang and ate it with big mouthfuls.
When she got up, Zhao Kang looked at her and couldn't help but said: "You eat more than me now... just eat like this!" Yun was stunned, looked at Zhao Kang angrily, and put down heavily.
Got a job.
"Then I won't eat it!"
"Oh, I'm just teasing you. Come on, eat it. Eat it. How about I feed you?"
Zhao Kang hurriedly put on a smile again, sat in front of his wife, looked at her bulging belly, and couldn't help but laugh. After feeding his wife and children, Zhao Kang breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun ordered: "Remember to wash the dishes and chopsticks." Zhao Kang sighed again and continued to do housework, but couldn't help complaining: "I should have listened to my parents, I should have studied hard, I
It’s time to start a family later…”
"What? Do you regret starting a family with me?"
"Haha, of course not...it's just, Yun, look, in front of your parents, you just give me some face and let me yell at you a few words. When you get home, you can yell at me however you want. What do you think?
"
"OK."
Zhao Kang continued to do things, muttering in a low voice: "This is all retribution, retribution..."
Ever since they got married, Yun has held Zhao Kang tightly, not allowing him to act recklessly, forbidding him to drink, and not allowing him to go out at night. Zhao Kuo failed to control him at the beginning, but Zhao Kang's wife accomplished this feat
.Zhao Kang was honest at home. Even if he had a quarrel, he only dared to go to his mother to complain. He was really happy to hear it. After being busy at home for a while, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Zhao Kang hurriedly waved his hand, raised his head, showed his usual proud look, and opened the door.
After opening the door, there was no one. Zhao Kang lowered his head and saw little Fusu.
Zhao Kang smiled and knelt down, pinched little Fusu's cheeks, kneaded them into various shapes, and asked: "Why are you here? Do you want Father Zhong to take you hunting?" Fusu allowed Father Zhong to rub it.
Looking at his face, his eyes widened, and he said vaguely: "My eldest father asked you to come over." Zhao Kang picked him up and walked to Zhao Kuo's mansion. On the road, Zhao Kuo
Then he couldn't help but ask: "When your eldest father asked you to call me, did he look happy or angry?"
"My eldest father looks very angry..."
Zhao Kang secretly thought that it was not good, but he had not gone out these days, and he had not done anything to make his father angry. He frowned, thought for a moment, and said to Fusu: "I have something to ask you to help."
"Father Zhong, please give your orders."
"If your eldest father gets angry with me later, just cry, cry loudly. As long as you can do that, I will buy you delicious food."
"good!"
Xiao Fusu reached the deal with his father, and Zhao Kang carried him into the courtyard. When he walked into the courtyard, he didn't see his mother or Shan. His father frowned and seemed to be in a serious mood.
It was very bad, and Li Mu and Sima Shang were sitting next to him. Seeing these two people, Zhao Kang felt a little relieved. With them around, his father must still give him some face.
He put down Fusu in his arms, visited his father, Li Mu, Sima Shang and others, and just sat among them. After the visit, Zhao Kang asked with a smile: "Why are the two Zhongfus here?", they
Both of them looked a little serious. Li Mu said: "The barbarians outside the Great Wall robbed Yunzhong Yanmen... causing the death of thousands of people, taking away a lot of supplies and many people... Yunzhong Yan
I reported the news to Xianyang."
When Zhao Kang heard this, his face became serious. He asked in surprise: "Didn't you wipe out all the Hu people back then? How could they still dare to come?"
"I only severely wounded the Hu people outside the fortress... It has been a long time, and they have recovered. Moreover, Zhao State... was destroyed, and we were not in the border area, which gave them something to take advantage of. What a machine." Li Mu said, Li Mu and Sima Shang had been guarding the border for a long time to resist the Hu people. Having seen the scenes of Hu people plundering them, they knew very well how much damage it would cause. This is why they were so serious. reason.
"But how do barbarians know this?"
"Because they have a good friend who is willing to tell them these things... encourage them to divert Qin's purpose to protect themselves." Zhao Kuo said coldly. Zhao Kang heard this and thought for a long time. Asked: "Who are you talking about?"
"Yan Wang Dan."
In history, Yan Dan once thought of 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, and the two sides would exchange materials, but that was all. , it is impossible to achieve a deeper state of alliance.
Zhao Kang was stunned. Of course he knew Yanwang Dan. Dan was his brother's former friend and had come to his home many times... When he came to his home, he admired his father particularly, but now... Alas, when he sent people to assassinate his brother, he probably had forgotten these things. Zhao Kang looked at his father, and he saw that his father's eyes were full of anger. He could understand, after all, he was a person who had been taught by him. , and now do such a thing.
What Zhao Kuo couldn't bear was the massacre of the people, and Zhao Kang knew this well.
Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu and said: "Most of the generals in Qin have no experience in fighting on the grasslands. These things still depend on you. The battle outside the Great Wall is different from the battle in the Central Plains. If an uninformed general goes out to fight, You may even get lost on the way." Li Mu nodded, then looked at Sima Shang, and said, "It seems that we have to hit them hard again to let them know that Li Mu is still there."
"Ha, you know what Li Mu is for? My name could scare away many barbarians back then!" Sima Shang was a little dissatisfied. Li Mu smiled and said: "But I don't know the Qin ** team yet. I have never led the Qin army on an expedition. I need a helper who understands the Qin people... That's why I asked you to come." Li Mu looked at Zhao Kang.
Zhao Kang had been eager to go out to fight outside the Great Wall a long time ago because he hated attacking cities, and there was no wall outside the Great Wall.
Zhao Kang enjoyed that kind of 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. Zhao Kang liked fighting very much. He usually clamored to fight. , why didn't you speak today? Zhao Kuo was also a little confused about the situation. He looked at Zhao Kang in front of him. Sima Shang was even more direct, without caring about Zhao Kuo, and asked directly: "Why don't you speak? Are you scared? ?"
Zhao Kang smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I'm afraid. I'm not even afraid of my father, so how can I be afraid of barbarians?"
Zhao Kuo frowned, and Zhao Kang quickly said: "It's just that my wife at home is about to give birth. How can I leave her alone at this time?" When Zhao Kang said this, Sima Shang snorted coldly and said:
There was no further questioning, but Li Mu nodded. He looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "We have forgotten this. Why not ask General Meng Wu to follow me."
"General Meng Wu is also a strong general of the Qin State. If you want him to be your lieutenant, will he agree? Even if he agrees, can he fight according to your orders?" Sima Shang asked back. This was also Li Mu.
The reason why Zhao Kang wants to be the deputy general is that as a reduced general, he must find a deputy general from Qin. This is certain. He can't just take Sima Shang out. Of course, a deputy general who is familiar with Qin can also play a role for him.
help.
But as a subordinated general, he couldn't let people like Wang Jian and Meng Wu serve as his deputy generals.
Even if they are willing, they may not obey the Zhao people who surrender, so Zhao Kang is considered the best candidate.
Zhao Kuo did not blame Zhao Kang. He said: "I heard that General Meng Wu has a son named Meng Tian. Why not let Wang Ben and Meng Tian follow you on the expedition." Li Mu looked confused, obviously not knowing.
Who are these two? Zhao Kang looked at them, pondered for a moment, and said, "Please wait for me, I'll be right back." Zhao Kang turned around and left here. His courtyard was opposite, a few steps away.
Zhao Kang went home and walked into the inner room. Yun was sitting on the bed, stroking her belly. When she saw Zhao Kang, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Where have you been?"
Zhao Kang fell silent. Seeing Zhao Kang's appearance, Yun also felt something was wrong. She asked again: "What happened?"
"The barbarians outside the Great Wall are plundering Yunzhong and Yanmen. General Li Mu wants me to follow him on the expedition."
Yun was stunned for a moment, then stood up carefully and walked in front of Zhao Kang. She said seriously: "Then I will help you prepare some things. Leave early and come back early."
"But you...this..." Zhao Kang looked at her belly and hesitated.
"It doesn't matter, I have my mother and the others to take care of me, don't worry...Besides, there must be many people in Yanmen in Yunzhong suffering from the plunder by the barbarians. You go and save them. I will hold our children and wait."
I'm waiting for you to come back." Yun said, and went to prepare Zhao Kang's luggage for going out. Zhao Kang grabbed Yun's hand and pulled her into his arms. Zhao Kang held his wife and said in her ear:
"Thanks."
Zhao Kang quickly returned to Zhao Kuo's courtyard. He looked much happier than when he left just now. He strode into the courtyard, looked at Li Mu proudly, and asked: "General, when are we
Set off?"
Li Mu stood up. It seemed that he didn't need to find anyone else. He looked at Zhao Kuo and said: "Brother, this time, I will make sure that the barbarians outside the Great Wall will not dare to approach the Great Wall for thirty years... However, I
If I go out this time, someone will definitely slander me secretly, so please..."
"Don't worry, if anyone dares to slander you or try to alienate you, I will definitely kill him."
"You can go and fight outside the Great Wall without worries. I will help you arrange the rest."
