Chapter 206 Departure, Guards

"Fusu."

"The son is here."

While Zhuo Cao was preparing to pack up, Qin Shihuang said slowly: "What he said just now, what do you think?"

"I think it's a great kindness!"

"How can I see it?"

"The imperial tomb started to be buried in the land since it ascended the throne, and it has been nearly thirty years since then. In order to make pottery figurines, thousands of craftsmen work day and night. Not to mention that hundreds of thousands of corvee labor do not work, it is a burden for the country and the people."

Mount Li faces the Wei River, with thousands of peaks rising and endless, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful. At this time, the tombs are built on the mountain. Facing the mountains, it means that the king will also protect the country after his death. The more brilliant the imperial tombs are, the more painful it will be. At the foot of Mount Li, I don’t know how many lonely tombs have been added.

"After the victory of the Northern Expedition, there will be many prisoners. Letting them on the grassland will sooner or later be unfavorable to Qin. If they are used as corvee, a large amount of corvee will be released. These people will remember the kindness of Qin and will be used by Qin. Whether it is farming or labour, there will be benefits."

"You have forgotten Shang Jun's five techniques for controlling the people?"

"He said that it may not be suitable for Qin State now. The ancestors sacrificed their lives for humans, and Duke Xian abolished human sacrifices and buried them with pottery figurines. Zhuo Jun said that except for the nobles such as Zhang Liang, the head of Guizhou was the people and the thief, all of which were related to the superiors."

"Oh……"

Qin Shihuang did not answer, but just sneered. Fusu's political views were as always, adhering to lenient policies and treating the people. These cannot be changed overnight, and they are related to the country's destiny. It can only be said that Fusu is still too naive, and even Zhuo Cao took it for granted.

...

A few days later.

Zhuo Cao received the document and set off to Beidi County immediately!

On this day, Zhuo Cao naturally had to ride a horse. Zhuo Li was leaning on a crutch, his eyes were red. He patted his shoulder hard and said in a trembling voice: "It must be three or four hundred miles away. Be careful on the road. Since you are not rushing, then go slowly. Pay more attention to rest along the road and do not get sick."

Zhuo Li had also joined the army to fight before, but he was the lowest-level soldier. After the military order was issued, he had to arrive at his destination within the specified time. However, Zhuo Cao was the chief lieutenant of the army, so he went to Beidi County to wait in advance and did not give him any specific time.

"Don't worry, I remember it all."

"Ah, listen! This time I go to Beidi County to protect the grass. If he is injured, you don't have to come back!"

“Not not…”

Zhuo Cao waved his hands repeatedly.

As the chief lieutenant of the guard, he didn't need to go to the battlefield to fight for his life.

If there is danger, it is also a danger to Zhuo Teng.

Originally, he didn't want to take Zhuo Yan to Beidi County, but this guy insisted on following him. Senior military positions like the Guardian Commander are also qualified to have short-term soldiers. The so-called short-term soldiers mean personal soldiers, such as those with more than 500 masters. When Zhuo Cao saw that he insisted, he appointed him as the short-term soldiers and was responsible for protecting his safety.

There were many relatives and friends of the clan who came to see him off, and even Qi Gao, the magistrate of Pinyang County next door, rushed over. They all stood on tiptoe and looked forward, and then smiled and gave their own gifts. Most of them were dry food, such as rice dumplings and pots. Zhuo Cao did not reject their kindness and collected them all.

"Zhuo Jun, the time is almost over."

Han Xin couldn't help but remind him that he was appointed as a short-soldier general this time and was qualified to follow Zhuo Cao to fight. It was probably equivalent to being a strategist and could also give advice behind the scenes. If necessary, he could directly recruit him to lead the troops.

"Yes." Zhuo Cao nodded and looked at Su He who was standing next to him. "Xiao Su, I'll leave now. All the things in the house depend on you. I can't count on my father and Lao Meng. It will be done according to the plan I have formulated, and I don't have to worry about the rest."

"Don't worry!"

Fusu agreed with a smile, but he felt that nothing was serious. After Zhuo Cao left, he would go back to Xianyang first. After that, Zhuo Li was still there, so there was no need to worry at all.

"No need to send it to you."

"Take the dove."

Qin Shihuang carried the bird cage and handed it over. There were about a dozen pigeons inside, all of which were carefully fed by Zhuocao. Zhuo Pi had also tested it, and it was like playing when flying two or three hundred miles away. Qin Shihuang started to order the bird trainer to test it early, and the effect was extremely good. He also intended to popularize the pigeons, and even considered asking Li Si to start implementing the law on protecting the pigeons.

Yes, the crow pigeon will become a protected animal in Qin!

"You have nothing to say?"

Zhuo Cao looked at the stupid father strangely, not saying that separation from life and death is so exaggerated, at least he would give me some comfort. He stood here for most of the day, and never even said a word.

"Uh...come back alive!"

“…”

Zhuo Cao used the stirrup to turn over the horse and looked around. Then he raised his whip, and the horse neighed in an instant, and the horse's hooves raised some dust and quickly headed towards the distance. In just a moment, he disappeared from sight.

"call……"

Qin Shihuang sighed with a long sigh. Although he was a fake, he felt a little touched when he saw Zhuo Cao leave like this. Since the story of his mother and Lao Ai's rebellion was revealed, he had no such feelings. As the monarch and emperor, his children's love affair was only a burden. But Zhuo Cao was different. He was so angry that he couldn't speak.

You know, no one dares to contradict him!

But Zhuo Cao is capable and can always come up with some tricks at the critical moment. The Gukou County epidemic was a big blow, and the imperial physician in the palace was helpless, but Zhuo Cao resolved it. Not long ago, the sky fell from the sky, and many people said that this was a disaster star and opposed the northern expedition of Qin. It was also Zhuo Cao who thought of a series of methods and forced the black ones to white ones, and the disaster star became a blessing star of Qin!

Since that day, no one has opposed the Northern Expedition.

"Father."

"Um?"

"Is it really appropriate to let him go to Northland County?"

Qin Shihuang snorted heavily and said coldly: "I have my own opinions. The Northern Expedition is related to the country's destiny. It is the first battle after the destruction of the six kingdoms. No mistakes are allowed. Although he does not understand military strategies, he always has novel ideas. It is also safe to order him as the chief lieutenant of the army."

Autumn is coming soon.

Whenever autumn comes, a large number of Hu people will go south. Not only the Huns, but also the Donghu Dayuezhi people. The Guizhou head worked hard to cultivate and finally got a harvest, but the Hu people flocked to kill, kill, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil. Previously, a county magistrate had been killed by the Hu people, but even the heads were cruelly cut off and hung on the city flag.

It was only after Meng Tian guarded Beidi County that he felt a little relieved.

This time, we have to take back Hetao before the Hu people went south!

"I understand."

Fusu nodded thoughtfully. Is he treating Zhuo Cao as a mascot? But Qin Shihuang’s concerns make sense, and the Huns are not soft persimmons. According to Zhuo Cao, he should despise the enemy strategically, but he should pay attention to the enemy tactically!

Look, these two father and son want to go together!

Wait... why are you two father and son?!
