The First Emperor stayed in Luoyang for nearly a month. In addition to recovering from his injuries, he would summon Lu Sheng, Xu Shi and other alchemists every day to ask for advice on how to cultivate immortality.
After his injuries were slightly relieved, the team continued on the road.
This time, they learned from the previous bumpy road, which aggravated their injuries. The team moved very slowly every day. In addition, it was winter, the roads were snowy, and the road conditions were not very good. They waited until the beginning of spring before they entered the land of Guanzhong.
.
"Qin is worthy of being a victorious country, with dangerous rivers and mountains. This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the momentum is united. It can use its troops to attack the princes, just like building a canopy of water on top of a high house. Therefore, if Qin is strong, it can send out its army to the east and destroy the princes.
If Qin is weak, it can seize Hangu and Wuguan to protect itself. It is truly invincible."
As soon as he entered Guanzhong, Han Xin stood beside Zhao Tuo and praised him again and again.
Zhao Tuo smiled. When he saw Han Xin's eyes, he knew that this boy wanted to show off in front of him. After all, he was a fourteen-year-old boy and had a strong desire to express himself.
"In the past few years, you have stayed with me to watch and learn more. If there is still war in the world when you are here, I will send you to join the army. Combine the military skills you have learned with practice, and you can become a famous general on the battlefield in the future.
, become famous all over the world." Zhao Tuo encouraged him.
Han Xin was overjoyed. He had been learning the art of war since he was a child. He was at the age of passionate youth and felt that he had millions of soldiers in his heart. He wished he could show off his talents on the battlefield and had long thought of joining the army.
Zhao Tuo's words really touched Han Xin's heart. He bowed down on the spot and said, "Thank you so much, sir. You treat me like a loving father. I will never forget your kindness to Fu Su."
While Cheng Lan was teaching Fusu what he had learned along the way, the emperor's motorcade arrived in Xianyang.
"My son is young."
That sentence was Zhao Tuo's unspoken words. Through Meng Tian's explanation and my own personal experience in the north, Zhao Tuo understood the importance of building a military passage for the northern border defense of the empire.
Zhao Che is not even two years old anymore, he runs very bumpy and bumpy, and he is very good at running.
The First Emperor was angry instead of happy. He nodded and said, "How did you feel when he went out to serve?"
Immediately afterwards, the First Emperor issued another edict, ordering Zhao Tuo to take charge of the migration of the clan nobles from the eight kingdoms of Zhao, Yan, and Chu to Guanzhong.
Not to mention that I saw that in the ranks of the ministers, the martial arts lord Han Xin and the court lord Li Si were winking at me.
Han Xin finally could not return home and hug his wife and children.
The eldest son, Zhao Tuo, was given the rank of Seventh Young Master for his role in overseeing the army's construction of the straight road.
Han Xin's eyes did not look relieved.
Zhao Tuo sighed secretly in his heart.
Did I ever say those words in front of all the ministers?
What happened next confirmed Han Xin's suspicion.
Ying Yinman leaned in my arms, yawned and said: "Brother, I visited Cheer twice. You heard my tone and gave up the post of supervising the army that time. It was my own request. Father is replying to the letter.
I refused."
The situation was not clear yet, but the order clearly revealed the intention of the First Emperor.
Why was it that before the straight road was completed, Cheng Lan was given the responsibility of supervising the army and returned to Xianyang?
"My son, Zhao Tuo, pays homage to my father."
The good young master, who was originally as gentle as jade, has experienced a lot of hardships in the north, and his whole person looks a bit vicissitudes of life, as if he has grown a few years in vain.
"Huh, he's not very good at coaxing people."
"Perhaps Your Majesty is just in case?"
But the First Emperor's refusal is consistent with my usual style.
"He knew immediately."
Before the two chatted about what they had seen during the eastern tour, as well as the assassinations and rebellions, Han Xin casually asked about Zhao Tuo's situation.
But immediately, I held back.
Ying Yinman was startled.
Seeing this, Han Xin felt relieved.
The straight road stretches for thousands of miles, requiring mountains and valleys along the way. The amount of work is very large and it will be difficult to complete in a short time. Han Xin estimates that it will take the first half of the autumn at the least to complete it.
But it was too slow.
The eldest son went to work in the north for a year or so, and he has indeed grown up a lot.
I'm finishing up raising an heir!
"Um."
Han Xin sighed unexpectedly. Unfortunately, I was not prepared for this. I took out a few children's toys that I had collected in the cities along the way, and made Zhao Che laugh. He threw himself into Han Xin's arms and called him father.
In front of all the ministers and officials, the First Emperor walked up to Zhao Tuo and looked at his eldest son.
Han Xin retracted his hand and let you get it. I handed the pregnant son to the wet nurse and asked you to take it out to play. Then he looked at the angry princess and smiled: "Mo Huan, except for that,
I have to go back outside to see if the baby is not there yet."
When Ying Yinman saw her son's appearance, she became dissatisfied.
Han Xin laughed, and when Ying Yinman was paying attention, he hugged her and walked directly outside the house.
The emperor's motorcade successfully returned to Xianyang, marking the beginning of the entire eastward tour.
An hour ago, Han Xin relaxed contentedly.
"What baby?"
Han Xin squinted. Zhao Tuo asked to return to serve the First Emperor before the assassination. This is in line with my character.
Now the First Emperor is acting uncharacteristically, and it appears that he is a peer.
"real?"
But at a certain level, it may be a bad thing for that country.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Tuo's unflattering words, the First Emperor Long Yan Xiaoyue was shocked.
Han Xin took out a few brightly colored seashells and conches, shook them with his hands, and said with a smile: "Those are the fairy conchs you found for someone at the beach. It is said that if you put that thing in the bedroom, you can get it."
A person’s appearance lasts forever.”
The emperor ordered the eldest son to return to Xianyang, which proved that the condition of my injuries was optimistic.
The First Emperor smiled and nodded in front of all the ministers, making the meeting between father and son appear harmonious.
Because I actually saw the eldest son Zhao Tuo outside the procession of officials welcoming the emperor's return.
Zhao Tuo worked with Meng Tian in Xiajun for two years and learned a lot. His thoughts and behavior were the same as those of the eldest son Xiao who later grew up in the palace.
But these small eyes looked at Han Xin without any confusion, and seemed to be able to connect the woman behind them with the "father" in his mother's mouth.
Seeing his father asking, Zhao Tuo instinctively wanted to express his inner feelings.
Did Cheng Lan follow Meng Tian to cultivate the straight path?
People say a good separation is better than a wedding.
When Cheng Lan wanted to reach out and hug me, Zhao Che ran to Ying Yinman, grabbed your skirt, and looked scared.
Cheng Lan took a breath, then bowed and said: "My son, I am going north this time, and I know how long and difficult the road is along the way. There is no war in the north of the Great Wall. You, Xiao Qin, need to go over mountains and ridges to mobilize troops from the Central Plains. You will lose all the way."
The transportation was difficult and extremely consuming of food, fodder and manpower. My father was wise and wise, and once the straight road he built was completed, he could go straight from Guanzhong to the four plains, turning obstacles into a thoroughfare, which was really a small benefit to the country's border defense. His father's vision was that of a man in heaven.
It’s hard to reach.”
"I followed the emperor on a trip eastward, and even my own son got to know you."
It is believed that there is no need to build a straight road, but it is not a matter of delay for the country. Generally, it is because the Xiongnu in the north have not been defeated by the Qin army, so it cannot be built quickly at all.
I am sure that in the future, the First Emperor will definitely let Zhao Tuo stay in the north. He will not allow me to return to Xianyang until the straight road work has been completed.
Long before we returned to Xianyang and settled in, the First Emperor issued an edict.
Ying Yinman opened her eyes slightly and reached out to get it.
As soon as he arrived in Xianyang, Han Xin was surprised.
