Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 147 Zhao Yong's Ambition

The smell of meat filled the night sky, and Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo sneaked towards Zhao Wuming's side with a tiger cub in their arms.

Zhao Wuming is holding a piece of venison and is grilling it.Watching the two approaching, there was a hint of a smile.Looking ahead deliberately, Zhao Yu and Xue Qian talked among a group of people: "Why are you not there, what are you doing here?".

"Then why did you run out, uncle?"Zhao Yong didn't answer either, but smiled brightly.

Zhao Wuming looked at the venison roasting on the bonfire: "I don't like making noise by nature, so it's not bad to come out and drink and eat meat."

"Having a bonfire after a safari, isn't that what my uncle suggested?"Zhao Yong deliberately asked Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming smiled and did not answer, looking at the roasted venison intently.Zhao Yong blinked, then looked at Xue Zimo.

Xue Zimo nodded to Zhao Yong, and the cub in his arms stared at the venison with pitiful eyes.

Zhao Wuming turned around and saw the cubs looking pitiful, as if thinking of something, he looked at the two of them: "It's been so long, have you not fed these two cubs?"

"Feed?".Zhao Yong looked at Xue Zimo suspiciously, and the two shook their heads at the same time to express their ignorance.

Seeing the two shake their heads, Zhao Wuming stood up and drew out the bronze sword at his waist, and melted it twice on the venison.

Two pieces of venison that had been grilled fell down under the pitiful eyes of the two cubs.

The two tiger cubs immediately jumped out of their arms, ignoring their little masters.When the two pieces of venison were about to fall to the ground, he took a bite and chewed with relish.

Zhao Yong glanced at the two cubs angrily.Zhao Wuming was amused by Zhao Yong's appearance: "If you don't feed them, it's only natural to forget you now."

"Uncle, how do you know they are hungry."Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Wuming suspiciously, and asked him.

Zhao Wuming looked forward, saw bonfires and human figures everywhere, and then explained: "Because I have been hunting all day today, and I don't even have people to eat, let alone them."

"Uncle cheating".Zhao Yong deliberately made an angry look when he heard the explanation: "Uncle hasn't answered the question I just asked?".

Zhao Wuming was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Zhao Yong just asked: "Yong Er, didn't you just ask, why do I know they are hungry?".

"No, it's the previous question."Zhao Yong reminded, seeing Zhao Wuming looking at Xue Zimo who was at the side with a confused face: "Zimo, tell uncle what question I just asked."

Xue Zimo imitated Zhao Yong's appearance, and repeated the question to Zhao Wuming: "Just now Wang Sun asked the fourth son, didn't the fourth son propose to hold a bonfire after the hunt?".

"I suggested it, what's the matter?".Zhao Wuming immediately recalled the question just now, and deliberately asked Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo back.

Zhao Yong secretly pointed to the bonfire built by Zhao Yu and the others: "Then why is uncle not inside, but instead tried his best to say goodbye to them, roasting venison alone in this remote and quiet place?"

"Because I like quietness, this does not conflict with the proposal to hold a bonfire. After all, we have been hunting for a day. Even if we are not tired, the guards should already be exhausted. It is reasonable to go back when we are full."Zhao Wuming explained to Zhao Yong the purpose of holding the bonfire.

Xue Zimo looked ahead, not knowing why a question suddenly came up: "Fourth son, why do you say that the world cannot stop fighting? If every day can be the same as now, that would be great."

"Zimo, why did you come up with such an idea?"Zhao Wuming was very interested in hearing the question, and asked Xue Zimo subconsciously.

Xue Zimo blinked his eyes: "Because my mother and I ran out together when the Wei State raided Handan last year. Although there were many people in the government to protect us along the way, we still suffered a lot. So at that time I thought of Let's talk about this problem, fourth son, you said that when will this fight come to an end?"

"End? Zimo, do you know how the word Wu is written?".Zhao Wuming listened to Xue Zimo's words, and continued to ask him after a while.

Xue Zimo thought for a moment, and explained to him: "Four...".

"You and Yong'er are brothers and sisters. I call your father Brother Xue. If you don't mind calling me uncle in private."Zhao Wuming immediately interrupted Xue Zimo and asked him to change his name.

Xue Zimo was stunned, and looked at Zhao Yong as if asking for help, Zhao Yong couldn't help being overjoyed: "Zimo, you just listen to your uncle, I think it's very good."

"Uncle, uncle".Xue Zimo looked at Zhao Wuming, and paused when he shouted, obviously a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Wuming felt that the word "uncle" was much more pleasing to his ears than calling him the fourth son, so he couldn't help but smile: "Then you can now answer my question just now."

"My mother once told me that stopping Ge is fighting."Xue Zimo told Zhao Wuming what his mother had told him about the word.

Zhao Wuming didn't answer immediately, but looked at Zhao Yong: "Yong Er, what do you think, how can we make this world free from war?"

"No War?".Zhao Yong fell into deep thought, and looked at Zhao Wuming for a long time: "A good man should have his ambitions in all directions, urge his horse to raise his whip and lead thousands of troops to gallop on the battlefield. When all the enemies fall one day, there will naturally be no more suffering from war in this world." .

"Yong Er, if one day you find out that your enemies are endless, what will you do? Could it be that Zhao Guo at that time could only fall into the boundless mud?".Zhao Wuming asked Zhao Yong back.

Zhao Yong blurted out without hesitation: "The enemy will not retreat because of your retreat, so even if I know that there is a boundless quagmire ahead, I will rush forward without hesitation."

"Yong'er, is this your idea?".Looking at Zhao Yong in front of him, it seemed that he was not facing a ten-year-old boy, but the all-powerful King Zhao Wuling.Zhao Wuming asked him subconsciously.

Zhao Yong shook his head: "This is my father's idea. Since Handan fell into the hands of Wei State, my father has been worried every day. He said that our country is precarious. At this time, Wei, Qi, Qin, Chu, and Han are becoming stronger and stronger. The treasury has long been empty in these years of fighting everywhere, and the people have suffered a lot. If you follow the path of the other five countries and strive to become stronger, it will be too late in time. Then there is only one way at this time, and that is to fight. Through war, let them All stop. Give our country a buffer time, so that our country has time to reform the law calmly."

“War for time?”.Zhao Wuming seemed to be in the torrent of history for a while, and in another time and space, wasn't Zhao Yu just such a monarch?If he hadn't been fighting every year, King Wuling of Zhao would not have time to ride and shoot in Hufu, so the powerful Zhao State would not have appeared.As the fourth son of Zhao Guo and the fourth younger brother of Zhao Yu, do you want to do something for this country? .

Xue Zimo listened to the conversation between the two, and looked at Zhao Wuming: "Uncle, is this what you mean by stopping fighting for fighting?".

"Yes or no, Zimo, you have to understand. Those who mobilize troops every year do not like to conquer, but do it as a last resort."After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he added a sentence: "For example, the future prince and Yong'er's father."

Xue Zimo nodded half-understood, and Zhao Yong asked Zhao Wuming suspiciously: "Uncle, will my father fight every year after he succeeds to the throne?".

"Yes, because my country, Zhao, wants to survive in this troubled world."After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and asked Zhao Yong: "Yong'er, what is your real ambition?"

"Seeing my uncle riding a horse alone is very majestic. My nephew wants to grow up. Follow my uncle's example, form an army of riding a horse alone, and lead them to ride the world."As soon as Zhao Yong's voice fell, it seemed that there were hundreds of thousands of cavalry in his hands, roaring between the sky and the earth.

The words Hu Fu riding and shooting flashed in my mind again, although this is a completely irrelevant world.But sometimes history is really hard to change.Zhao Wuming felt emotional, isn't he and Seoul at this time the same as this country of Zhao?Under the seemingly calm situation, in fact, it is already in crisis, and perhaps one carelessness will destroy the bones.

Just as the three of them were thinking about their own thoughts, Zhao Yu, who was sitting by the bonfire in front, stood up and faced Zhao Wuming's direction: "Fourth brother, it's getting late, and I'll have enough to eat. The end is coming soon. , should you also come here and sit down?"

"Brother, please wait a moment."Zhao Wuming replied to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu nodded, then sat down again.

A smell of meat wafted over, Zhao Wuming knew that the venison had been roasted, and immediately took it off and handed it to Zhao Yong: "You two eat slowly, Uncle, I will go to your father's place first."

“Uncle Thanks for the Venison”.Zhao Yong took the roasted venison and looked at Xue Zimo happily.The two of them started eating without waiting for Zhao Wuming to leave.

Zhao Wuming smiled, and walked towards Zhao Yu's campfire.

When a group of people saw Zhao Wuming approaching, they spoke out one after another.

"The Fourth Young Master proposed a bonfire, but the Fourth Young Master sneaked away, and I propose to fine you three bottles of wine."

"I agree, and fourth son, please don't refuse."

"I'm just wondering, when did the Fourth Young Master go off to another place?"

Hearing these remarks, Zhao Wuming quickly picked up the jug and poured it into the wine bottle in front of him. After a while, the wine bottle was full and then picked it up: "This time it is my son who is wrong, I am willing to punish myself with three bottles."

"Wait a minute, I'm going back soon. If you drink too much, it will be inconvenient to ride a war horse. As a brother alone, I am willing to do it for you."After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he picked up the wine bottle in front of him and drank it down.

Seeing this, Xue Qian came to his senses, and took a gulp of the wine bottle: "At this time, the banquet is being held by me, as the master, I am willing to do it for the fourth son."

"Big Brother, Brother Xue".Seeing the two of them, Zhao Wuming felt a little touched, but the words came out of his mouth, so he could only pick up the wine and imitate them to drink it all down.

Everyone looked at them with a smile, and Zhao Jia said: "One is the elder brother of the fourth son, and the other is the host of this banquet. The two of them will replace the fourth son, and add a bottle that the fourth master himself drank, making a total of three bottles. In this case , this matter is settled. It's getting late now, everyone, it's time for us to go back."

"Well, it's time to go back."When everyone heard that Zhao Jia's words were reasonable, they got up immediately.

A bodyguard and private soldiers quickly began to assemble.The bonfire was extinguished, and everyone got on their horses.With a wave of the horsewhip, accompanied by the night, he galloped towards Xindu.
