Time has entered the spring season, the frost on the earth is receding, and the spring breeze is blowing across the earth, bringing a touch of coolness.
spring is coming.
Xianyang City, the residence of the Marquis of Wugong.
In the warm room, Zhao Tuo rolled a special small rubber ball on the ground.
Little Zhao Che, who was well prepared, immediately crawled over with hands and feet, held the little ball in his arms with his two little hands, and sat down on the ground, "giggling" in his mouth, very cute.
Ying Yinman walked in, saw this scene, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said angrily: "Why are you playing with a ball on the ground again?"
"Train the coordination of his hands and feet. You can see how flexible Cheer is. He can climb much faster than yesterday."
Zhao Tuo said with a smile.
Ying Yinman curled her lips: "The wet nurse said that a child as old as Che'er can already practice walking. You insist on saying that it is not good for children to walk early, and their legs will be formed into some kind of circle, and Che'er is not allowed to learn to walk. ."
Zhao Tuo said plausibly: "Originally, children are young and their body bones have not yet been finalized. They will be easily deformed if they leave early."
"Didn't I say, 'Man follows the earth, the earth follows the heaven, the heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature'? I think he said it very well. It is better to let nature take its course for everything in the world. When Che'er should walk, he will do it by himself. If he is gone, why bother letting him learn early."
Ying Yinman narrowed his eyes and sneered: "You, a young man, are quite experienced when it comes to raising children. Could it be that you have had other children before?"
Zhao Tuo was sweating on his forehead and feigned anger: "That's nonsense. Do you understand the method of Gongshu? It's written on the scraps of Gongshu!"
Ying Yinman didn't believe that Zhao Tuo would do that kind of thing, but when he saw that he pushed everything onto the scraps of Gongshu, he said angrily: "Everything is Gongshu. I don't believe that Luban, a carpenter, would write anything else." Yu... and the matter of raising children is simply unheard of. I think you are talking nonsense. You said that when children walk early, their legs will become hoop-shaped. I was also raised by a wet nurse. I walked early, why didn't it become like this? Circle shape!”
Saying that, Ying Yinman angrily picked up the hem of her skirt.
Zhao Tuo took a look.
Straight, smooth, and fair.
This is the best counterattack against Zhao Tuo’s theory.
But Zhao Tuo is a victorious general and has never been defeated in 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 shouted angrily and rushed forward.
The two "scuffled" into a ball.
Little Zhao Che held the little rubber ball in his arms and looked at his parents with his head tilted, his big round eyes full of curiosity and confusion.
After a while, the young couple had enough 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: "I just heard from my servants that the Shuqi Commander seems to be coming back. He is really good at escaping. Every time he loses a battle, he can escape."
Zhao Tuo was startled, and then he knew that she was talking about Li You. He shook his head and said, "I don't really believe in counting oddities or anything like that. I think Brother Li's tactics were wrong. He was too hasty. The fire attack It's okay to use this technique for emergencies and surprise attacks. How can anyone use this method to fight all the time? If I go by what I told Wei Ting before, he won't be defeated in the southwest."
Ying Yinman showed a sly look: "You talk nicely, so would you like to let this Lieutenant of Shu Qi County go out to fight as your lieutenant?"
Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitched and he fell silent.
It is rumored that Li Youshu defeated Li Xin.
Zhao Tuo naturally didn't believe it. In the battle against Chu, with Lord Changping in the army, anyone else would have suffered a disastrous defeat, not to mention that Li Xin had already floated into the sky at that time, so it was normal for him to suffer a huge defeat. , what does it have to do with Li You?
Zhao Tuo believed that Li You was innocent.
But believe it, believe it, let him team up with Li You, then forget it.
There are some things that, even if you don’t believe them, still make you feel uncomfortable.
Zhao Tuo turned and sighed: "There is probably 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 hummed and said: "I heard that people with Shuqi have bad fortunes and encounter many unfavorable situations. Even if he does not go to the battlefield, he is still not Shuqi. It is 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, otherwise I might have been killed by this guy early."
Zhao Tuo was stunned.
…
Outside Xianyang City, beside the main road, a carriage is waiting here.
The carriage is hung with gold and jade ornaments, which are luxurious and luxurious, showing the noble status of the owner.
An old man and a young man were standing next to the car, looking at the road leading to the southwest in the distance.
When the Qin people passing by saw this scene, they all stayed away and did not dare to disturb him.
"Father, my brother is very lucky when he comes back this time. If he goes to fight again, there is no guarantee of what the result will be 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.
He was overjoyed that Li You could come back alive this time.
Similarly, in the previous attack on Chu and this time on the southwestern Yi, Li You was defeated twice and did not know whether he was alive or dead twice. This old father was really fed up with worrying.
Li Si's eyes were firm. He had already made up his mind and didn't want to go through it a third time.
This time, he will use his father's authority to decide his son's future.
Li Si looked towards the Southwest Avenue, where several knights were escorting a dusty carriage slowly approaching.
Sitting on the carriage, Li You could already see the figures waiting on the roadside in the distance.
He took a deep breath.
The carriages and horses stopped.
Li You got out of the car and looked at the old father with gray hair and beard in front of him, feeling very uncomfortable.
His father was such a strong man, but now his hair and beard were all white because of worrying about him.
"Father, my son is useless and I'm worrying you."
Li You knelt down and kowtowed, his eyes already moist.
Li Si's lips were trembling, and he stretched out his hand to help Li You up, saying, "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
On the side, Li Yuye saluted and said, "My brother has returned safely. My father and I are finally relieved."
Li You nodded to his younger brother and looked 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's shoulder and motioned for Li You to ride back with him.
Li You followed silently into the car.
In the car, Li Si said indifferently: "If you come back this time, don't go out again. The Qin Dynasty is peaceful in all directions, and you don't need to go to the battlefield to fight anymore. I will find a position for you in Xianyang, so that you can serve me and you in the future. It’s by mother’s side.”
Li You's body shook violently.
In the past, Li Si had greatly praised his idea of fighting on the battlefield and making achievements, and even often encouraged him when he was feeling down.
Now, he said this.
"It seems that my father is completely disappointed with me."
Li You sighed in his heart.
If it were in the past, he might have fought hard and continued to pursue his dream of fighting on the battlefield and achieving meritorious service.
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, the passing Qin people looked surprised when they saw this scene.
In half a day, the news that Shuqi Commandery had returned to Xianyang spread throughout the city, arousing many discussions among Qin people.
"Shuqi is also good at escaping. He is worthy of Li Paopao!"
"He himself was able to run away, but unfortunately the men of Da Qin who followed him on the expedition were all lost to the barbarians."
"well……"
"I hope the emperor will punish him severely this time!"
"Yes, we must not let him go to the battlefield again. What if my son works under such a general in the future?"
After watching the excitement, all the people of Qin were curious about what kind of punishment this Shuqi County Lieutenant who suffered a tragic defeat would be punished?
Two days later, the Qin Dynasty's great meeting was about to be held.
As one of the top nobles in the Qin Dynasty, Martial Lord Zhao Tuo had already received some fragmentary news in advance before the court meeting.
After digesting that information, Zhao Tuo was stunned.
"Is the emperor crazy?"
"What is he going to do!"
