Chapter Thirteen: Queen Zhao's Olive Branch
"knew."
With Li Yu's permission, Princess Qian happily ran over and staired with Prince Qi. In this Warring States Period, when there was no entertainment, being able to listen to Li Yu's story with Prince Qi, horse stairs were the happiest thing for Princess Qian who had no playmates.
Li Yu also happened to see the princess Qian hiding outside the hall secretly listening to his story. After learning about it, she learned that she had lost her mother at birth and was raised by a palace maid. She was the type of grandpa who didn't like grandmas. Seeing that Prince Qi was alone and had no playmates, Li Yu suggested to Queen Zhao and let Princess Qian be with Prince Qi. Queen Zhao immediately agreed, who made Li Yu the only prince's master now?
"The last thing will be to pay homage to the Queen."
"The general is exempted from gifts."
Two little guys were stairing there, and the outstanding Queen Zhao came slowly. Looking at the serious martial arts son, he said to Li Yu who changed all this: "I didn't expect that the general would have such ability to let Qi'er practice martial arts well."
"It depends entirely on the teachings of the king and the queen."
"The general is too humble. I heard that the general has not married yet. I have a younger sister, who is thirteen years old. I wonder if the general likes it?"
Over the past few months, Queen Zhao has witnessed the changes of King Zhao and the prince with her own eyes, bringing new vitality to this lifeless palace. Naturally, she has a good impression of Li Yu. With Li Yu’s current identity, Queen Zhao certainly wants to tie him together, so as to find a solid foreign aid for the mother and son.
"The State of Zhao is in a time of war, so we will not dare to consider family affairs at the end."
Li Yu didn't want to refuse the olive branch that Queen Zhao had given, after all, it didn't matter if she married a woman and raised her home. Now it was the Warring States Period, either a group of wives or a freak. Even a person like Qu Yuan who has been famous for all ages, had many wives and concubines. Moreover, with Queen Zhao's beauty, Li Yu absolutely believed that her sister was a beauty. Marrying a beauty and a queen with such influence as her sister is definitely a big profit.
But thinking about Queen Zhao's nationality, Li Yu could only refuse. If he wanted to develop better in Zhao State, his wife must be from Zhao State, or even a nobleman of Zhao State. Queen Zhao is the sister of King Han, so how could he marry a princess of the royal family of the Korean family?
"After the war is over, I hope the general will consider it."
"The last one will follow the order."
Li Yu's polite refusal did not make Queen Zhao give up. She knew that the future Zhao State might rely on the father and son of the Li family. Last year, Lin Xiangru passed away, now Lian Po and Pang Qian are old, and among the generals Li Mu is in his prime. Li Yu has been among the generals before he was twentieth. The age advantage of their father and son is too great, so big that anyone can see their future.
"Okay, prince and princess, you can rest."
After about two incense sticks, Li Yu asked Prince Qi and Princess Qian to rest. There was no need for children to be so strict. Their bodies had not grown up yet, so they could lay the foundation. When the weather was hot in the first two months, he only asked the two little guys to stand for a stick of incense stick and then let them run. As a royal family, Prince Qi needed to practice martial arts to strengthen his muscles and will, but he didn't have to learn so well. He just needed to maintain the power of a king.
"Master Li, are you leaving again?" After resting, Prince Qi knew that Li Yu was leaving again, and he pulled Li Yu's clothes a little reluctantly. Princess Qian also looked at Li Yu with reluctance. Li Yu was the person who loved her the most since she became sensible. The majestic queen stood by, but she could not act like a spoiled person like her younger brother.
"I will go to defend the city and see you again in two days. The prince can't be lazy."
"Well, Master Li, don't worry, Qi'er will definitely not be lazy. Qi'er wants to be a real man."
"Okay, I believe in the prince's determination. Then I will surrender first, Queen, I will surrender."
After politely rejecting the invitation from Queen Zhao to let him eat in the palace, Li Yu bowed his fists and walked towards the palace gate. As the prince's master, he was only responsible for teaching martial arts. Those who read and read were naturally done by someone, but he was dizzy when he saw those bamboo slips.
"Father."
When he returned to the camp gate, Li Yu saw his father who had just returned from the outside of the city. The armor on his body was stained with blood. He couldn't help but scream with concern.
"Yu'er, you are back. Let's go wash up for your father first, and you will patrol the city walls for you."
"promise."
After his father returned to the tent, Li Yu quickly rushed to the city wall with his personal guards. He knew that his father would untie Bai Qi's heart and would definitely give Qin army a head-on blow. However, Li Yu did not expect that his father would move so quickly and go to the camp in broad daylight. He originally wanted to learn from his father, but now he missed a good opportunity to observe.
At this time, the Zhao army must strengthen its vigilance to prevent the Qin army from being angry and carrying out large-scale sieges, but the Qin army should not be ready to forcibly siege the city.
After patrolling the city wall for a stick of incense, Li Yu saw Li Mu, who was still covered with blood on his armor, walking over, followed by an excited general. He thought that this time he went out to fight was quite a good deal, and attacking the camp has always been the fastest way to earn military merits.
"I just visited a Qin army camp for my father and brought back some food and grass." Li Mu walked to his son and said lightly as he looked outside the city. He was not happy to lose a Qin army camp. Perhaps only the famous general who was shocking the world deserves attention.
A few days after Li Mu attacked the camp, the Qin army launched a small-scale attack as usual, but the momentum and scale gradually increased, causing the pressure on Handan City to continue to increase.
"Father, we need a night attack."
"Well, the Qin army's momentum is getting stronger and stronger, not far from their forcing the city to attack."
Before, the Qin army's siege was a small fight. To test it, one was that the morale was not boosted, and the other was that the weather was hot. Now, after nearly a year of training, the new Qin army soldiers had the power to fight, the weather gradually became colder, and the time for siege was gradually ripe. The Zhao army must weaken their morale before the Qin army launched a strong attack.
"General, the last general asks for a fight." For the first time, Li Yu said to Li Mu in a formal tone. If he didn't sharpen his skills, he would have almost forgotten how to hold the sword and how to get some oil on the battlefield in the future. Moreover, this sneak attack job is quite safe.
Looking at his son with a determined face, Li Mu felt a lot of pride in his heart: "Okay, Li Yu obeys the order, I will let you lead 5,000 cavalry to harass the Qin army, and you should not fight in love."
"The last one will follow the order."
