Chapter 8: As long as you wield your hoe well, you can dig out any corner.

"It's still far from enough. No matter how good you are in training, you're still just a recruit if you haven't seen blood." Qin Hao shook his head.

Xiang Yu patted the dust on his body and said, "What's so difficult about this? The next delivery is to Xianyang. My uncle and I will lead them to protect the caravan and fight several bandits. This will help me develop my courage."

On this point, Qin Hao and Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew strongly agreed. They both believed that it was time to let these guards go on a mission.

"There will be a shipment of goods sent to Xianyang the day after tomorrow. I originally planned to go with General Xiang, but Su Su is pregnant now and really can't leave, so I can only trouble you two." Qin Hao cupped his hands and said.

Xiang Yu waved his hand boldly: "Brother Qin is too polite. This is my responsibility."

Xiang Liang smiled and said nothing. In his opinion, Qin Hao was not a person who would achieve great things because of his love for his son and daughter. This was good, so as not to have another potential rival.

Two days later, Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew led fifty guards and set off with the caravan, and the originally bustling Qin's workshop returned to its former peace.

However, Qin Hao was not idle. He spent so much money to train bodyguards and even made plans for Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew to deal with bandits. This was not just to help them overthrow the Qin Dynasty.

Xiang Yu is definitely not a good person to be a friend with. He is very righteous and can go to all lengths for his friends, but as a leader, he still lacks too much.

Qin Hao didn't want to watch the great foundation he created end up taking advantage of Liu Bang.

"Susu, I plan to go to Peixian County tomorrow. It's inconvenient for you to be pregnant, so you should rest at home first. I will be back in a few days."

Lu Su nodded obediently: "Well, husband, don't worry, I can take care of myself."

Qin Hao stretched out his hand and gently stroked Lu Su's slightly bulging belly. Lu Su smiled and watched Qin Hao's hand moving on her belly, her face filled with the glory of motherhood.

As a result, the next day, just as Qin Hao was about to hit the road, a carriage stopped in front of the Qin Mansion.

"Why is she here?" Qin Hao frowned.

Lu Su said with some embarrassment: "My sister came to see me last night. I heard that my husband was going to Pei County, so I wanted to go with him."

"So, you made the decision without permission and agreed for me?" Qin Hao lightly tapped Lu Su's forehead.

Lu Su hugged Qin Hao's arm and said coquettishly: "Husband, my father asked my sister to visit her friends this time, but last time my sister met a scoundrel in Peixian County, she was worried about being entangled by that scoundrel again, please help her.

.”

"She's already here, can I still drive her out?" Qin Hao shook his head helplessly.

The two Lu Pheasants looked at each other and smiled, obviously they had conspired before.

Qin Hao took in all this and couldn't help but feel that he was such a stupid wife. Maybe she didn't know that her sister had some evil thoughts about him, right?

Ten miles away from Shanfu County, Lu Pheasant suddenly opened the car window curtains and said to Qin Hao.

"Brother-in-law, why did you go to Pei County this time?"

"Nothing, I'm going to recruit some guards." Qin Hao replied casually.

Lu Pheasant asked suspiciously: "I remember that the caravan recruited dozens of guards last time, why do we still need to recruit guards?"

"The world is not peaceful, there are many gangsters along the way, and the glass is valuable. It is safer to recruit more guards."

"oh."

Lu Pheasant lay on the car window and looked at Qin Hao sideways: "Brother-in-law, do you think Su Su is pregnant with a boy or a girl?"

"Both men and women are alike."

"Then how can it be the same? Naturally, the male child is better. Otherwise, how will the Qin family's incense be passed down in the future? It's like my father, who couldn't sleep at night because he couldn't give birth to a male child." Lu Pheasant said and raised his chin.

"So when I was a child, I always thought about how great it would be if I were a boy, so that my father wouldn't have to worry so much all day long. Later, when I grew up, I would pester my father to teach me how to count and manage accounts."

Before Qin Hao responded, Lu Pheasant said again.

"When my sister was born, my father was depressed for a long time and took a lot of medicine. Unfortunately, he couldn't conceive again. Then my father put all his hopes on me. I have been helping my father get pregnant since I was eleven years old.

Taking care of the family business, now I’m basically taking care of the Lu family’s business.”

"Sometimes I actually envy my sister. She only needs to hide in the backyard all day, embroidering and weaving, and doesn't have to worry about anything, but I have endless accounts."

"Of course, what I envy the most is that my sister has such a good husband."

When he said this, Lu Zhi's pretty face turned slightly red, but he did not avoid Qin Hao's gaze at all, but instead went towards him.

Seeing that Qin Hao still didn't respond, Lu Zhi grabbed Qin Hao's arm.

Qin Hao frowned and said, "Let go."

"I don't, I just want to ask you clearly today, why did you choose Susu instead of me? How am I worse than Susu?" Lu Pheasant also took the risk, half of his body was hanging outside the carriage, if it weren't for Qin Hao

Keep the horse's speed at the same level as the carriage, and she will soon be thrown out of the carriage.

Qin Hao said in a deep voice: "You and Su Su have completely different personalities. There is no need to compare."

"No, I just want to know how I am inferior to Su Su and why you are unwilling to marry me."

As soon as Lu Zhi finished speaking, she screamed. Qin Hao had already pulled her arm and pulled her out of the carriage. When she was still in shock, he placed her sideways on the horse.

"Drive~~~"

Lu Pheasant felt like the world was spinning for a while, and he screamed in fright, and then he vomited again.

When Lu Pheasant was almost done vomiting, Qin Hao got off his horse and put her down.

"You...you bully me!"

Lu Pheasant began to sob.

Qin Hao snorted: "Who do you think you are? The eldest lady of the Lu family? Just because you are pretty, and you know how to calculate accounts, you think you are a man and should like you?"

"Don't talk about how infatuated you are, do you dare to say that you have never thought about marrying Yi Xiaochuan?"

"Didn't you just ask what's wrong with Bi Susu? Susu looks weak, but in fact she dares to love and hate. If she likes a man, she will never look at another man again, and what about you? To put it bluntly, it's just

I’m just jealous of Susu.”

Lu Pheasant stood there blankly, wanting to refute, but couldn't find an argument to support it. It wasn't until he saw Qin Hao getting on his horse and walking away that he walked back to the carriage in despair.

After arriving in Peixian County, Qin Hao separated from Lu Pheasant. The purpose of his coming to Peixian County this time was indeed to recruit people, but they were not ordinary guards, but poachers.

The reason why Liu Bang was able to succeed is inseparable from his foundation in Peixian County. Xiao He, Cao Shen, Ren Ao, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and Xia Houying eventually became the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty.

A small Peixian County has gathered so many talents. It is not too much to describe it as an outstanding person. Naturally, Qin Hao will not let such a treasure trove of talents be left to Liu Bang.

In fact, Qin Hao has already made preparations. Once these people can no longer be used by him, he will find a suitable opportunity to kill them all in the future. At that time, he would like to see if Liu Bang can do anything without these people.

The waves are coming.

That afternoon, Zhou Bo and Xia Houying were busy leisurely on the street when they suddenly saw Fan Kuai running in a certain direction and quickly called him.

"You are in such a hurry, are you rushing to reincarnate?"

Fan Kuai spat at the two of them and said triumphantly: "You don't know this, right? The Qin's Workshop in Shanfu County wants to recruit guards from us, and they will give us fifty big bucks a month and three kilograms of meat.

Two pounds of wine."

"What? Give me so much money? Then I'll go too!"

"Go together and go together."

When Zhou Bo and Xia Houying heard that there was such a good thing, they also clamored to go together. It cost fifty big coins. You must know that one stone of corn only costs thirty big coins. One month's wages are enough to support a family of seven. What's more,

What's more, they are singles.

Fan Kuai wished he could slap himself in the face, now he had two more competitors.

Soon, when I arrived at the interview location, I saw an open space surrounded by people watching the excitement. In front of a desk, the queue of people had already reached the road.

Naturally, Fan Kuai and the others were not in the habit of queuing up. After pulling away the onlookers, they went straight to the front of the queue. When the people who were cut in line saw that it was the three of them, they didn't dare to say anything and lowered their heads to pretend that nothing happened.

Soon, it was the turn of the three of them. After registering their names, place of origin and other information, the examiner pointed to the stone lock on the side.

"If you can lift this stone lock with one hand, you will pass."

Fan Kuai was the first to get up. The stone lock weighing more than 30 kilograms was nothing to him. Xia Houying also lifted it easily. But when he got to Zhou Bo, he was in trouble. He was a musician and usually relied on

They lived their lives by boasting about weddings and weddings to the villagers. They didn't do any heavy work, so their strength was naturally inferior to that of Fan Kuai and Xia Houying.

After trying several times, Zhou Bo couldn't lift it, which made Xia Houying and Fan Kuai want to go up and lift it for him.

"Oh, forget it, go ahead, this job of licking blood from the edge of a knife is not suitable for me, Zhou Bo."

Just when Zhou Bo was about to give up, Qin Hao came over to check on the recruitment situation. When he heard Zhou Bo's name, he stopped him.

"Your name is Zhou Bo?"

"A true man will never change his name or surname."

"Are you a musician?"

"ah."

"It just so happens that the caravan is short of a musician, I'll count you among them."

Qin Hao looked at the list and found that Xia Houying and Fan Kuai were also there, and thought to himself: This trip to Pei County was not in vain.

As for Xiao He, Cao Shen and Ren Ao.

Xiao He is now the chief official of Peixian County, and Cao Shen is the jailer. These two are currently regarded as quite powerful officials in the county. Naturally, they don't look down on these dozens of big money. As for Ren Ao, although he is just a jailer, he is still a jailer.

Even as a civil servant, it is impossible for him to give up his iron job for a few dozen big bucks.

Therefore, after meeting the three of them, Qin Hao raised the recruitment standards and recruited a large number of people, which also made Fan Kuai and the others feel very lucky.

A total of eight people were recruited in Peixian County, and Qin Hao invited several of them to drink in the evening.

When they arrived at the wine table, after a few bowls of wine, Fan Kuai and the others started talking. Qin Hao also took the opportunity to ask about Liu Bang's current situation.

"Oh, you're talking about Liu Ji. He's sending corvees to Xianyang. I guess he'll be here soon."

Qin Hao's heart moved: "Is there a foreign Mr. Yi who is leaving with Liu Ji?"

"There seems to be such a person. This kid is very stupid. He was tricked by Liu Ji into drinking several times. He thought Liu Ji regarded him as a friend. When Liu Ji went to deliver the corvee, he went with him." Fan Kuai said drunkenly.

Qin Hao thought to himself: Sure enough, this silly boy Yi Xiaochuan still fell in love with Liu Bang, but he didn't know if he would be betrayed by Liu Bang this time.

"I heard that Liu Ji seems to be quite capable. You all seem to admire him?" Qin Hao asked tentatively.

Fan Kuai and the other three nodded.

"That's right. Although Liu Ji usually looks unattractive, he is actually very loyal. We all admire him."

"Liu Ji is a nice person. He treats me like a brother."

Qin Hao was not surprised by this. If Liu Bang had no shining points at all, he would not be able to establish the Han Dynasty.

However, Qin Hao was not impatient. It was one thing to be admired. It was another thing to tuck his head in his belt and join in the rebellion. When the day of the uprising came, Qin Hao's troops were strong and Liu Bang was still in the mountains.

Hiding in Tibet, doing tricks like killing white snakes, they naturally know how to choose.

What Qin Hao has to do now is to use both kindness and power to bring Fan Kuai and the others home as soon as possible.

Two days later, Qin Hao and his party had just arrived in Shanfu County.

Later, Qin Hao recruited a group of guards from Shanfu County, which totaled exactly thirty people. Qin Hao divided Fan Kuai and the other three into three teams for training.

At the beginning, Fan Kuai and the other three were very dissatisfied with the training program and refused to cooperate at all. Qin Hao naturally showed no mercy and beat the three of them with military sticks until their skin was torn to pieces.

When night came, he personally gave them medicine to treat them.

"Normally training teaches you the skills to save your life when facing bandits. Sweat more during training and bleed less during war. If you still want to live and return to Pei County in glory, you'd better do as I say.

"

"Of course you don't have to listen. If you die or become disabled, I will only lose a funeral fee, but you will lose your life."

During the subsequent training, Fan Kuai and the other three were obviously very focused, especially Fan Kuai and Xia Houying, who were worthy of being the founding generals of the country later. Their progress could be said to be visible to the naked eye. Zhou Bo was a little behind, but compared to other guards, they were also

Ranked among the best.

In the blink of an eye, another half year passed. One day, Lu Su suddenly complained of stomachache. Qin Hao quickly called the doctor and Wen Po.

Almost an hour later, as the baby cried loudly in the delivery room, Mr. Lu, who had been waiting anxiously outside, let out a sigh of relief.

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Hao came out of the delivery room with the baby in his arms.

"Xian son-in-law, is he a boy or a girl?"

"boy."

The moment Lu Zhi entered the delivery room despite Qin Hao's dissuasion, he could not get rid of the bitterness on his face.

"Perhaps I will never meet such a husband in my life?"

When Lu Gong heard that Lu Su had given birth to a boy, he was overjoyed.

"Hello boys, hello boys!"

Qin Hao handed the little guy into Lu Gong's hands, let him hold him for a while, and then returned to the delivery room with the baby in his arms.

Lu Su's face was a little pale, but she still put the little guy in her arms and kissed him.

This day coincided with the twelfth lunar month and it snowed heavily. It was also the second year that Qin Hao traveled to the Qin Dynasty.
