The feeling of a hangover overnight was not good, and I woke up several times at night. It was dawn that Zhao Xin stood up and left the tent.

Pushing open the curtain, the cold wind coming towards him made Zhao Xin's spirit squash and couldn't help but shrink his neck.

The sun was already high, but the Zhao army camp was still quiet. Except for the patrols outside the camp, most of the soldiers were sleeping soundly in the tent. I think it was because of the master's father's enthusiasm last night, so he deliberately let the soldiers indulge all night, and he was not in a hurry to rush to travel today.

A horse neighed not far away. Zhao Xin looked at him and saw that Han Sheng was feeding the horses in the distance, so he walked over.

"General Han, it's early." He smiled and said hello.

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

Zhao Xin scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "How could I sleep well? I felt so uncomfortable all night. I still have a headache now. It seems that my father is right. This wine is really not a good thing, so it is better to drink less."

"Your father is wrong." Han Sheng carried his body on his back and put all the horse materials in his hand into the mouth of his mount, and carefully put on a chew. In spring, the grass contains a lot of dew, and horses are prone to getting sick and diarrhea after eating it. In addition, the physical energy consumption of war horses is particularly high, so they are all fed some grain essence. Bringing chews is also to prevent war horses from eating green grass with greed.

Han Sheng patted the slags on his hands, turned his head and said with a smile, "Although your father is proficient in taxation, he is a very amateur in military affairs. You probably don't know how important the spirit is to the army. Our Zhao State is located in a bitter and cold place in the north, and the garrisons on the frontier are even more cold in winter. If you don't drink spirit to drive away the cold, how can you fight in winter? There are also border poverty, and there are very few women. This wine is the best tool for men to vent their anger."

"The other thing that makes people excited after drinking can make people feel excited and not afraid of life and death. This is undoubtedly the best way to arouse courage for soldiers who fight on the battlefield. You see, among the seven countries, the Qin people and the Zhao people are the best at fighting. They are both extremely addicted to alcohol, especially the crude spirits. On the other hand, a great country like Qi and Chu, who moves with hundreds of thousands of armors, but the soldiers are soft and not useful."

When Zhao Xin heard what Han Sheng said, he felt very reasonable and said with great interest: "I heard what the general said, I think it is true. It turns out that drinking has such great use, and I have never read this in the military books."

Han Sheng laughed when he heard this, "If you don't really lead the military, even if you read more, it will be useless. Many experiences are not something you can learn in books at all. You have only seen people who can become famous generals who have never read military books, but you have never seen people who can be invincible by just reading military books."

Speaking of this, he seemed to have a deep impression and forgot about Zhao Xin's glance, and said, "Zhao Xin, I know you have read very well in military books, but remember not to show off your cleverness. You see, most of us are from big-headed soldiers who don't know a single word, but they can still lead troops to fight, and they will be invincible in every attack. The last time you defeated Shi Yong was just lucky enough to take advantage of his underestimation of the enemy, but it was nothing more than a trick. If you are satisfied with this, you will be indifferent."

Zhao Xin was in awe of his heart, knowing that Han Sheng was kindly reminding himself not to be arrogant, so he quickly bowed to thank him, "Person Han would like to give more points, and the last one would remember it in his heart."

Han Sheng smiled "hehe" and stepped forward to help Zhao Xin up, saying, "No need to be polite. Your uncle and I are young friends. This time he asked me to take care of you. I will naturally not break my promise when I am entrusted by others. Besides, you are an extremely smart person, so you can understand it at all, which saves me a lot of verbal talk."

Zhao Xinxin thought, "So that's it." No wonder Han Sheng frequently showed kindness to him along the way. I think Li Dui has spent a lot of time on his mind. Thinking of his uncle's concern for him, his heart couldn't help but feel warm.

He looked at the tent of the Lord Father's camp in the distance and smiled, "The Lord Father must have had a great time last night. He has not yet sobered up yet, so are all generals. But General Han, you are not simple, are you so drunk? Is it so unfathomable?"

Han Sheng laughed and said, "You'll misunderstand this. On the contrary, I am the least drunk among these people, but because I am the doctor and I have to be responsible for the safety of the Lord's father and the garrison, they can all be drunk, but I can't."

Zhao Xin nodded, "So that's it."

Han Sheng glanced a few times and saw that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "The Lord Father has a very good impression of you. He once praised you openly and secretly several times. Yesterday, he spoke to you in front of many generals, so that Shi Hu and the others would no longer have any grudges towards you."

"But you can't be complacent because of your appreciation. You must know that your father always only knows the truth when looking at people. Although you are smart, you are young and have a slightly slick personality. These are not the qualities you should have as a qualified general. It's just that the father saw his past self in you, so he looked at you differently. You must seize the opportunity and quickly get to power with the appreciation of your father in the future."

Zhao Xin was so excited that he said this. He had longed to be a general since he was a child. After these days, he followed his father to see the most elite cavalry in the world, and he was even more itchy. He asked again, "Uncle Han, how do you think I can gain a foothold in the army and get the recognition of all the generals?"

While speaking, Zhao Xin had already called him "Uncle Han", obviously trying to bring his relationship closer to him. Han Sheng did not object, but just nodded and said, "The generals from the army who were born in big-headed soldiers are mostly vulgar and only believe in their own strength. If you get to the throne with the appreciation of your master's father, even if you are in a high position, you will not be able to get their heartfelt support. If you want them to believe in you, you have to show their strength to convince them. The army is not as good as the court, you must remember this."

"I remember." Zhao Xin nodded and remembered it carefully. He also had a good impression of Han Sheng, who had always taken care of him, so he wanted to be closer to him.

He patted the horse's buttocks gently, Zhao Xin asked with a smile, "Uncle Han, you are from Handan, why haven't you heard of you before?"

Han Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and his hand that was stroking the horse's hair couldn't help but stop. He was a little lost and said with a complicated look on his face, "I'm Korean."

Zhao Xin said "Huh" with a curious look in his eyes and said, "Korean, his surname is Han, can you be a Korean royal family?"

Han Sheng smiled and said, "You guy is thinking too much. There are many Koreans with the surname Han, so they can't be all royal family members. I'm just a child from a Korean clan. I came to Zhao with the marriage team of Queen Han. I like the martial arts style here very much, so I settled in Handan."

Queen Han is Zhao Yong's ex-wife, the biological mother of former crown prince Zhao Zhang. She is the daughter of King Han Xuanhui and the current elder sister of King Han. When Zhao Yong ascended the throne, in order to closely unite Han, who was also the Three Jins, he married her as queen and gave birth to Zhao Zhang as crown prince. However, Queen Han was weak since childhood and died a few years after giving birth to Zhao Zhang, which gave up the position of queen to Wu Wa, who was later favored by Zhao Yong. Otherwise, according to her noble identity, Zhao Yong might not have deposed her throne at the risk of losing her close ally, and there would be no later deposed and appointed the crown prince.

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

At this time, the world was in chaos, countries were constantly attacking, and borders changed frequently. Today, they were Qi people, but tomorrow they might become Chu people, so the country's views were very thin. Among them, the flow of talents was particularly important. It was very common for Qi people to become officials in Qin and Wei people to go to Chu to be presiding. They rarely had xenophobia.

So Zhao Xin didn't think it was offended to say this, but just laughed and said, "What you said is that I have lived in Zhao for almost thirty years now. If you hadn't mentioned it today, I would have almost forgotten that I was a Korean. What's the good thing about South Korea? Where the people are weak and the country is weak and the martial style is not strong, it's still interesting to stay in Zhao. Being able to serve the heroes like the Lord's Father will be worth this life!"

The two chatted for a while. Han Sheng looked up and saw that the sun was already high, so he ordered Zhao Xin to take clear water to see if his father had sobered up.

The Lord's father's tent is in the center of the camp. Although there is no luxury, it covers a very wide area.

Zhao Xin opened the tent and walked in. From a distance, he heard snoring sounds behind the curtain. He was amused. He put the basin next to the curtain with his hands and feet. As soon as he turned around, he suddenly felt a chill in front of his throat and widened his eyes. He saw that his father had already bowed and stood up, and his murderous aura suddenly came. The long sword in his hand reached straight in front of Zhao Xin's throat. The coldness from the sword tip made Zhao Xinxin even more frightened.

Even though Zhao Xin was brave, he was so scared that his legs and feet were weak. He looked at the Lord's Father and said stammeringly, "Lord... Lord, it's me... it's me..."

The fierce light in Zhao Yong's eyes slowly retreated, put away the sword, and snorted heavily, "Has no one told you not to get close to me when I sleep?"

Zhao Xin quickly shook his head, and even more complained. Han Sheng reminded his master's father that he didn't like to be disturbed when he slept, so he didn't take it seriously. He thought he wouldn't disturb his master's father easily, but he didn't expect that he would almost summon the disaster of killing.

Seeing that his face was not like a fake, Zhao Yong went all out of his vigilance and snorted again: "This time I miss you for the first time, I will spare you once. If I commit it again next time, the sword in my hand may not show mercy."

Zhao Xin nodded repeatedly and saw that Zhao Yong had already gotten up, so he quickly picked up the basin and handed it over.

Zhao Yong took the wet wipes and washed his face and hands. The cold river water made him feel refreshed and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeing that Zhao Xin was still in shock, he couldn't help but smile, "Do you think my habit is very strange?"

Zhao Xin hesitated for a moment and nodded. Zhao Yong had long guessed that he would answer like this, and said with a smile, "When I was young, I liked to hunt in the deep forest alone. I once encountered a ferocious bear. I couldn't do anything to it, and it couldn't do anything to me, but I was really unwilling to accept it. Do you know what I did in the end?"

Zhao Xin was curious about the words of the Lord's father and guessed: "Can you keep following it?"

Zhao Yong laughed, "That's right, I followed it for three days and three nights, and finally it killed it in one fell swoop until it couldn't help but take a nap. Then I understood a truth: even the most ferocious beast would have its own time to get tired, and that time was undoubtedly its weakest time, without any defense, and even an enemy with no power to tie a chicken could easily kill it."

"So I never give my enemies a chance. As a qualified hunter, be alert at all times, because your enemies will use every possible opportunity to bite you. Now you understand what I mean."

Zhao Xinxin nodded in convincingly, his face slightly excited.

While speaking, Zhao Yong had already put on his armor and left the camp with great energy. Zhao Xin followed closely behind. Han Sheng, who was far away, hurriedly came up to meet him when he saw this.

Zhao Yong took off his horse's reins, turned over his horse, and ordered Han Sheng: "Beat the drum."

"No." Han Sheng accepted the order and turned around and left with great strides.

Soon, the sound of gathering war drums rang out in the camp, and a large number of soldiers with messy clothes and armor hurriedly ran out of the camp tent, and while tidying up their clothes and armor, they each boarded their horses and gathered together. Although they were in a hurry, they were not at all undisturbed. This shows that the Zhao army was well-trained.

After the three-way drum passed, more than 10,000 cavalrymen in Zhao State had already boarded the horses and gathered, but only dozens of them were slowly thrown into their hands and dressed up in a panic.

Zhao Yong's face looked like water, without any joy and anger, waved his hand heavily, and dozens of cavalry behind him rushed out quickly, kicking at the people with a fierce look.

There were only a sound of "puzzling" and "puzzling" landing sounds, and the people did not dare to fight back. They just let them kick themselves off, and used a mascot to drag them all the way to the master's horse, and whipped them hard.

Although they are usually called brothers, and even many people on the ground are still in the rank of lieutenant, the knights immediately whipped the whip without mercy. In less than a moment, dozens of people on the ground were already covered in flesh and blood. These people were also tough. Although the pain was unbearable, no one begged for mercy.

Zhao Xin was a little reluctant to look at it, so he turned his head and couldn't bear to look at it anymore. Han Sheng saw his thoughts and explained quietly beside him, "The Lord's father has always been a clear reward and punishment. He usually let them suffer more so that they can save their lives on the battlefield in the future."

Zhao Xin nodded in a slight sense of understanding, and still felt a little reluctant to hear the sound of the whip. Fortunately, the master's father saw that it was almost done, so he raised his hand to stop the execution.

Looking at the dozens of people kneeling on the ground coldly, the Lord's father's voice was cold. "Each of them returned to the camp to collect their crimes. They are not allowed to eat for three days. If this happens again next time, they will be killed immediately!"

"If you send the order, immediately build a pot and make rice. After an hour, the camp will continue to go north. There must be no mistakes."
