The weapons in the treasury were newly forged, and the armor was coated with a strong smell of lacquer, and the treasury officials distributed it to the soldiers, and the horses were fed with good beans, and the reins of the chariots or saddles were put on them. At the beginning of June, the Hanoi Zhao army assembled in Wen County, preparing to march westward, and everything was ready, except for the commander Zhao Ying, who had not yet boarded his chariot.

Zhao Ying also likes to ride horses, and when he was young, he used to play in the forest on horseback, so when he was hunting, Zhao Wuxian rode a horse alone and did not jump like thunder. But now he could no longer step on the horse that had been given to him without a shirt, for his legs were crippled, and he was sore from walking a few steps, the after-effects of injuries and wind sickness.

The second half of his life was bumpy and difficult, injuries and pain have been tormenting him, and now the only thing that can bring comfort to Zhao Ying, in addition to teasing his grandson Zhao Zhou with caramel candy, is the news of Zhao Wuxian's continuous victories in the East.

When he learned that Zhao Wuxian had newly established Kuai Shen as a marquis, Zhao Ying laughed and scolded "children are rampant", and then sent a congratulatory gift to the new monarch in the name of the head of the Zhao family. When I heard that Emperor Qiu had fallen and Wei Linggong had died of drinking, Zhao Ying held a banquet to celebrate, but sighed: "Wei Hou was born in the same year as me, and I thought that he would live a few years longer than me as a monarch." So he withdrew the feast and set up a mourning hall for the former enemy Weihou to show mourning, and the scholars praised Zhao Ying for his broad-mindedness and not falling into the style of the Qing clan.

As for the time of Zhao Qi's decisive battle, Zhao Ying was even secretly preparing his own mausoleum, because he knew that if Zhao Wuxian was defeated, the Zhao family would definitely usher in a catastrophe, which would be more tragic than the difficulty of going to the palace.

On the night he received the carrier pigeon from Qufu, he was ecstatic, and despite the dissuasion of the doctor Bian Que, he got drunk.

"Defeating Qi, Qin, and Chu is the luxury of my life, and now I have done the same. If the Jin State still recognizes my Zhao clan as the Qing clan, my son has won the hegemony of a generation for the Jin State in this battle......"

In Zhao Ying's heart, pride, pride, and a trace of strange emotions arose.

He was lonely.

He was not willing to be lonely.

When he learned that the Han clan had been defeated from the upper party and that even Yiguan was a little precarious, Zhao Ying made the decision to personally support Han Hu.

"Please don't go, father!"

The first to stand up and dissuade him was his daughter Ji Huan.

……

"Why did my father insist on going in person? Isn't it okay to have a mentor do it for you? ”

Ji Ying knelt on the ground dressed in a bright red dress, her slender hands were twisted together, although she pursed her mouth and didn't say a word, a pair of big eyes looked at him worriedly, Zhao Ying could sense her worry.

"When I was in the first month of this year, I was twenty-two in my fifties." Facing her daughter's silent wall, Zhao Ying touched his gray beard and suddenly began to talk about his age.

"At this year's birthday banquet, it was rare for me to be around, and I enjoyed a lot of family fun. At the banquet, he gave me a poem on the spot, Ji Huan, do you remember? ”

Ji Huan lowered her head and read it softly, she had memorized this poem countless times, and every new poem written by Zhao Wuxian was strange or weird, and she was familiar with it, although some of them were written for other women.

"Although the turtle is long, there is still a time. Teng snake ride the fog, and eventually turn into ashes. Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles. The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong. The period of profit and contraction is not only in the sky; The blessing of recuperation can be ...... forever"

"This song "Although the Turtle is Shou", the original meaning of the shirt is the last two sentences, he wants his father to recuperate physically and mentally in Wen County, and he will definitely be able to live longer."

Ji Huan raised her eyes, but found that Zhao Ying looked at her and laughed, her beard trembling: "I know, but what I like the most is the middle sentence." Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles; In the twilight of the martyrs, the heart is strong......"

It's just a portrayal of him today!

Zhao Ying's words were very heavy, and after speaking, he said earnestly: "Someone once made an analogy, saying that the Zhao family is a chariot, and the horses pulling the cart have been changing, and the car is getting bigger and bigger, and the responsibility of the head of the family is naturally getting heavier and heavier. Now that Beru is in misfortune, there are only two horses left in my house pulling the cart, the young horse and the old man. ”

After finishing speaking, he realized that he had forgotten something, and said with a smile: "No, it's three horses, and you, the red horse of the Lord." There will be many difficult days in the future, and I have also thought clearly, you and Wuxian need to support each other, just like when they were young, they are inseparable, and I can rest assured that I can trust you in this season except for my own family? ”

"Father......" There was a strong hint in Zhao Ying's words, Ji Huan's face turned red, she should be happy at this time, but she couldn't laugh at all, she knew that her father was strong, from the prime of life to the present, he was always so strong.

Zhao Ying saw that he didn't amuse his daughter, so he continued: "I'm old and useless, not only can I not take a wild step like when I was young, but I am out of breath even after walking a few steps. Everything in the Zhao family has to be pulled by Wuxian and you, how can I not know the hard work of you this year? ”

"Father is not old." Ji Huan's eyes seemed to have sand, and suddenly turned red, she rubbed it, and smiled: "Father has always been the backbone of the Zhao family, in the past, now, and in the future." ”

Zhao Ying waved his hand: "It's time for me to retreat, the Zhao family has a thousand-mile horse, but now Wuxian is fighting in the east, and the Han family has been defeated again, as long as you have seen those Han envoys who asked for help, you can know that the Yiguan side is in danger." Han's son has been defeated again and again, and Le Fuli is not a calm person, these children are in a fragile mood, and they can't compare with Wuzi at all, in case they are broken by the Zhi's luck, Hanoi will be in danger. Even if they rush back without a shirt, so that they don't dare to cross Taihang, and then fight to Shanxi, the time to end this battle of Zhuqing will inevitably be greatly extended, this is not what I want to see, this time of crisis, I have to let the Han family see that the Zhao family has not abandoned them, Yiguan, I need an old horse to stabilize the situation, and guide those children to the way home, although I am old, I can still do something. ”

Logically, Ji Huan was almost convinced, but she still looked at Zhao Ying worriedly: "But my father's injury ......"

"Don't worry, I have fought not a hundred battles but dozens of battles, and I have survived until now, Xuanyao shelters, and the sky will not kill me. What's more, this time, I just commanded the town in the rear and held a stone pass, and I would not charge into battle. ”

Zhao Ying smiled bitterly and patted his numb and swollen legs: "Even if I want to rush, I can't rush, Zheng Long will be by my side to protect me." ”

"My daughter has to ask Mr. Bian Que." Ji Ying was very stubborn, and after asking Bian Que to come over and ask, he got a guarantee that "there will be no big problem". She was a little relieved, but she still forced Zhao Ying to swear.

"After this time, my father is no longer allowed to join the army to fight, but to recuperate." With a serious expression, she stretched out her white palm to strike at her father.

"The secretary said, the horse is difficult to chase, this is my last expedition."

Zhao Ying smiled and did so, Ji Huan breathed a long sigh of relief, and turned to work to arrange the baggage for the departure of the army, and the clothes and browns, military flags, and shoes sewn by the female dependents of Wen County had to work harder, and she also had to prepare the supplies and medicines she needed for Zhao Ying.

After Ji Ying's red figure disappeared from the porch, Yi Bian Que's face suddenly darkened, turned to look at Zhao Ying, who was smiling, and said solemnly: "General Zhao, if you continue like this, you will die!" (To be continued.) )
