Chapter 24 Between relaxation

The feeling of a hangover all night was not good, and he woke up several times at night. At dawn, Zhao Xin got up lightly.

Pushing open the curtain, the oncoming cold wind made Zhao Xin feel energetic, and he couldn't help shrinking his neck.

The sun is high, but it is still quiet in Zhao's camp. Except for the patrolmen on duty outside the camp, most of the soldiers are sleeping soundly in the tent. I think it was the master's interest last night that he deliberately let the soldiers indulge all night, and he was not in a hurry today.

There was a hissing sound of horses not far away. Zhao Xin looked at the sound and saw that Han Sheng was feeding the horse in the distance, so he walked over.

"General Han, good morning." He said hello with a smile.

When Han Sheng saw that it was Zhao Xin, he smiled and said, "Well, I slept well last night. I was very drunk when I sent you back."

Zhao Xin scratched his head, smiled awkwardly and said, "How can I sleep well? I've been miserable all night. Now I still have a headache. It seems that my father is right. This wine is really not a good thing. It's better to drink less."

"Your father was wrong." Han Sheng carried all the horse material in his hand into the mouth of the mount, and carefully put on a chew for it. In spring, the grass is full of dew, and the horses are easy to get sick and get sick. In addition, the physical consumption of the war horse is particularly large, so it is fed with some grain concentrate, and the chewing is also to prevent the war horse from greedy to eat grass.

Han Sheng clapped the crumbs on his hand, turned his head and said with a smile, "Although your father is proficient in taxation, he is a full layman in military affairs. You probably don't know how important liquor is to the army. Our State of Zhao is located in the bitter cold place in the north, and the soldiers on the border are even colder in winter. If you don't drink strong wine to dispel the cold, how can you fight in winter? There are also poverty in the border, and there are very few women. This wine is the best tool for men to vent their anger.

"The most wonderful thing is that drinking can make people excited and not be afraid of life and death, which is undoubtedly the best way to arouse courage for soldiers who fight for their lives on the battlefield. You see, among the seven kingdoms, the Qin people and my Zhao people are the best at fighting. They are all extremely addicted to alcohol, especially coarse spirits. On the contrary, a big country like the State of Qi and the State of Chu brings hundreds of thousands of armor, but the soldiers are soft and useless.

When Zhao Xin heard Han Sheng's words, he felt very reasonable and said with great interest, "Listen to what the general said, I think it's really true. It turns out that drinking is so useful, but I haven't read it in the military book.

Han Sheng laughed when he heard the words, "If you don't really lead the army, no matter how much you read, it's useless. A lot of experience can't be learned in books at all. I have only seen people who have not read military books but can become famous generals, but I have never seen people who can be invincible just by reading military books.

Speaking of this, he seemed to forget Zhao Xin with a deep meaning and said, "Zhao Xin, I know you are very good at reading military books, but remember not to show off your cleverness. You see, most of us are big-headed soldiers who don't know how to write, but we can still lead the soldiers to fight, and we are invincible. Last time you won Shiyong, you just took advantage of his light enemy by chance. It's nothing more than cleverness. If you are satisfied with this, you will be indefigruity.

Zhao was awe-inspiring in his confidence. Knowing that Han Sheng was a kind reminder not to be arrogant, he quickly bowed and thanked him. "If General Han made more suggestions, the last general must remember it in his heart."

Han Sheng smiled, came forward to help Zhao Xin, and said with a smile, "Don't be polite. Your uncle and I are young old friends. This time, he asked me to take more care of you. Naturally, I will not fail to be loyal to others. Besides, you are a very smart person, which saves me a lot of words.

Zhao's confidence thought, "So it is." No wonder Han Sheng frequently showed his goodwill to himself along the way. I think Li Dui didn't pay much attention to it. Thinking that my uncle cares about me so much, I can't help but feel warm.

He looked at the master's tent in the distance and said with a smile, "The master must have had a good time last night. He hasn't woken up yet, and so did the generals. On the contrary, General Han, you are not simple. Is the amount of alcohol so unfathomable?

Han Sheng laughed and said, "You're wrong. On the contrary, I'm the least drunk among these people, but because I'm Lang Zhongling, I have to be responsible for the safety and garrison of my father, so they can get drunk, but I can't."

Zhao Xin nodded, "So it is."

Han Sheng glanced a few times and saw that there was no one around, so he said in a low voice: "The master has a very good impression of you. He has praised you several times, and yesterday he spoke for you in front of many generals, so that Shi Hu and others can no longer have grudges about you."

"But you can't be complacent about your father's appreciation. You should know that the master always only looks at the truth. Although you are smart, you are young and slightly slippery. These are not the qualities you should have as a qualified general. It's just that the master sees himself in the past in you, so he looks at you differently. You have to seize the opportunity well and quickly rise to power with the help of the master's appreciation in the future.

Zhao Xin was warm-blooded by what he said. He has longed to be a general since he was a child. These days, he has followed his master to see the most elite cavalry in the world, which is even more itchy. He hurriedly asked again, "Uncle Han, how do you think I can gain a foothold in the army and get the recognition of the generals?"

While talking, Zhao Xin had opened his mouth and called him "Uncle Han". Obviously, he wanted to get closer to him. Han Sheng did not object, but nodded and said with a smile, "Most of the generals in the army are vulgar and only believe in their own strength. If you take the position with the appreciation of your father, even if you are in a high position, you will not be supported by them from the bottom of your heart. If you want them to convince you, you have to show the strength to convince them. The army is no better than the court, you have to remember this.

"I remember it." Zhao Xin nodded and wrote it down carefully. He also had a good impression on Han Sheng, who had been taking care of him, and wanted to be closer to him.

Gently patted the horse's buttocks, and Zhao Xin asked with a smile, "Uncle Han, you are also from Handan. Why haven't you heard of you before?"

Han Sheng was stunned when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but stop stroking the horse's mane. He was a little distracted and said with a complicated look: "I'm Korean."

Zhao Xin said "hh" with a curious look in his eyes and said, "Korean, also surnamed Han, is it possible that you are a Korean clan?"

Han Sheng smiled "haha" and said, "You think too much. There are people surnamed Han in South Korea, and they can't be all clans. I'm just a son of a member of the South Korean clan. With the marriage team of Queen Han, I came to the State of Zhao. I like the martial arts here very much, so I settled down in Handan.

Queen Han is Zhao Yong's ex-wife and the biological mother of the former prince Zhao Zhang. She is the daughter of King Han Xuanhui and the sister of King Han today. When Zhao Yong ascended the throne as the king of Zhao, in order to closely unite South Korea, which was also the Three Jins, he married her as the queen and gave birth to Zhao Zhangli as the crown prince. However, Queen Han has been weak since she was a child. She died a few years after giving birth to Zhao Zhang, which gave up the queen's seat to Wu Wa, who was later favored by Zhao Yong. Otherwise, according to her noble status, Zhao Yong may not risk losing South Korea as a close ally to depose her throne, and there will be no later abolition of the prince.

Zhao Xin said "Oh", thinking that it was so, and said with a smile, "If you don't say it, I really won't see that Uncle Han is Korean. Look at your skillful Handan accent, and your food and clothing are more like Zhao people than me."

At this time, the world is chaotic, countries are constantly attacking, and the borders are changing frequently. Today is Qi people, and tomorrow it may become Chu people, so the country's point of view is very thin. Among them, it is especially the flow of talents. It is very common for the people of the State of Qi to be officials in the State of Qin and the people of the State of Wei to go to the State of Chu, and there are very few xenophobic things.

So Zhao Xin said that Han Sheng didn't think so, but laughed and said, "That's what you said. Now I have lived in the State of Zhao for nearly 30 years. If you hadn't mentioned it today, I would have almost forgotten that I was Korean. What's good about South Korea? The people are weak and the country is weak, and the martial arts are not strong. It's still interesting to stay in our Zhao country. It's worth it to serve the side of such heroes as the Lord!"

The two chatted for a while. Han Sheng looked up and saw that the sun was high, so he told Zhao Xin to hold the clear water to see if the master had woken up.

The master's big tent is in the center of the camp. Although it is not luxurious, it occupies a wide area.

Zhao Xin opened the fence and walked in. From afar, he heard bursts of snoring behind the curtain, which was funny in his heart. He gently put the water basin next to the door curtain. As soon as he turned around, he suddenly felt a chill in front of his throat and his eyes widened. The master had bowed and stood up. The murderous spirit in his eyes suddenly came. The long sword in his hand was straight upright in front of Zhao Xin's throat, and the coldness from the sword front made Zhao's confidence even more frightened.

Rao is Zhao Xin's boldness. At this time, he was so scared that his legs and feet were weak. He looked at the master and stammered: "Lord... Lord, it's me... It's me..."

The fierce light in Zhao Yong's eyes slowly retreated, put away the long sword, and snorted heavily, "Hasn't anyone told you not to get close to me when I was sleeping?"

Zhao Xin quickly shook his head, and his heart was even more bitter. Han Sheng reminded his master that he didn't like to be disturbed when he slept, but he didn't pay attention to it. He thought he would not disturb the master, but he didn't expect that he was almost summoned to kill.

Seeing that his face did not look fake, Zhao Yong was vigilant and hummed again, "This time I will forgive you for the first time. If I commit it again next time, the sword in my hand may not show mercy."

Zhao Xin nodded repeatedly. Seeing that Zhao Yong had got up, he quickly picked up the basin and handed it over.

Zhao Yong took the wet wipes and washed his hands. The cold river made him breathless and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeing that Zhao Xin was still frightened, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you think my habit is very strange?"

Zhao Xin hesitated and nodded. Zhao Yong had already guessed that he would answer like this. He smiled and said, "When I was young, I liked to go hunting in the deep forest alone. I once met a fierce bear. I couldn't help it, and it couldn't help me, but I was really unwilling. Do you know what I did it in the end?"

Zhao Xin was aroused by his father's words and guessed, "Is it possible that you have been following it all the time?"

Zhao Yong laughed and said, "Exactly, I followed it for three days and nights, and finally killed it at one stroke until it couldn't help taking a nap. After that, I learned a truth that no matter how fierce the beast is, there are times when it is tired, and at that time, it is undoubtedly the weakest time. It is unprepared, and even an enemy with no power to bind a chicken can easily kill it.

"So I will never give my enemy a chance. As a qualified hunter, you should always be vigilant, because your enemy will use every possible opportunity to bite you. Now you understand my intention."

Zhao confidence nodded sincerely, and his face was slightly excited.

While talking, Zhao Yong had already put on his armor and got out of the camp energetically. Zhao Xin followed him closely, and Han Sheng, who was in the distance, hurriedly greeted him.

Zhao Yong turned the rein, turned over the horse, and ordered Han Sheng, "beat the drum."

"No." Han Sheng took the order and turned around and strode away.

Soon, the sound of the gathering of war drums sounded in the camp. A large number of armored soldiers hurried out of the camp tent and gathered on their horses while tidying up their armor. Although they were in a hurry, they were not chaotic at all, which showed that Zhao Jun was well trained.

After the three-way drum, more than 10,000 cavalrymen of the State of Zhao have gathered on the horse, and only dozens of them slowly threw themselves into their clothes.

Zhao Yong's face was like water, and he didn't see joy or anger. He waved his hand heavily. Dozens of horses behind him galloped out and kicked those people fiercely.

Hearing the sound of "ploping" and "ploping" landing sounded, those people did not dare to fight back, but let them kick themselves off the horse, put the body with a rope and dragged all the way to the master's horse, and slapped their heads and cheeks with whips.

Although they are usually called brothers and brothers' robes, and even many people on the ground are still generals, the knights immediately pulled up their whips without mercy. In less than a moment, dozens of people on the ground were already covered with skin and flesh. These people are also tough. Although the pain is unbearable, no one has begged for mercy.

Zhao Xin looked aside and couldn't bear it, so he turned his head and couldn't bear to look at it again. Han Sheng saw what he was thinking and whispered around him: "The master father has always ruled the army with clear rewards and punishments. Let them suffer more at ordinary times, so that they can save their lives on the battlefield in the future."

Zhao Xin nodded as if he didn't understand. Listening to the sound of the whip twitching heavily, he was still a little unbearable. Fortunately, the master saw that it was almost done, so he raised his hand to stop the execution.

He looked coldly at the dozens of people kneeling on the ground, and the master's voice was cold. Each of them went back to the camp to take the crime, and they were not allowed to eat for three days. If it is like this next time, I will be killed immediately!"

"If the order goes down, I will immediately bury the pot to make rice. After an hour, the camp will continue to go north. There is no mistake."

"No!" The sergeants agreed.
