Chapter 3002 Brother-in-Law
Zhao Shu said: "If you really want to save Alai's life, you shouldn't have brought him to the battlefield."
"His family is a military household. His grandfather, father, and two brothers all died on the battlefield. Even if he doesn't want to come, he can't." Muchen raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, "Before Alai, his My wife is pregnant."
"With your status, it shouldn't be difficult to exempt him from military service."
"His family has been a military household for generations and there is no way to escape. Unless he can perform meritorious service on the battlefield... He said that he came to the battlefield to perform meritorious service and to save his son from the fate of a military household."
Military households were hereditary, and they had to be called upon immediately once the imperial court went to war.
You also have to prepare your own weapons and other items.
Normally, the imperial court doesn't take special care of military households, which can be said to be really miserable.
Many military households fought tooth and nail on the battlefield in order to make achievements and escape the fate of military households.
Nineteen-year-old Alai is one of them.
But as soon as he arrived on the battlefield, before he had performed any meritorious service, he was shot dead by Mingcheng with an arrow.
Zhao Shu said: "There are so many similar teenagers following you, are you so distressed that you come here? What do you think the war is for, just to play house?"
Muchen lowered his head.
Zhao Shu continued: "Swords have no eyes, and fighting is about killing people. If you can't bear to see this, don't come to the battlefield."
"Subordinate, I understand my mistake."
"Now you can talk about your relationship with Alai."
"He's...my wife's brother."
"It turns out he is your brother-in-law." Zhao Shu withdrew his gaze and looked in the direction of Beiqi. "Of course you can get angry for your brother-in-law and chase the enemy alone. But have you ever thought that because of your impulsiveness, more people will be killed? My son, husband, and brother-in-law died innocently and tragically?”
Muchen clenched his fist and whispered, "I know my mistake."
"Go and lead the military law yourself."
"yes!"
Hearing this, Muchen became excited.
The prince's willingness to let him lead the army showed that he was not completely disappointed with him and allowed him to continue to stay on the battlefield.
Muchen went out and received twenty military sticks.
The beating on the back left the skin and flesh raw.
Zhao Shu ordered people to deliver medicine.
Although Muchen is his closest subordinate, his military skills are as good as a mountain. If he can't treat the soldiers equally, why should he convince them?
If a general cannot convince his soldiers wholeheartedly, how can he win the war?
The spies came to report that although Ming Cheng's injuries were serious, they were not fatal.
Zhao Shu nodded and let him go out.
Military advisor Lang Yu came in to discuss with him how to handle the matter.
Lang Yu was dressed as a scholar and was in his forties. He was a good friend of King Qin when he was young. He was smart and wise and was King Qin's best partner on the battlefield.
When he came in, he bowed his hands and saluted, and then said: "Your Majesty, this matter can be big or small. Once it is not handled well, it will easily intensify the conflict between the two parties. It must be handled properly."
Zhao Shu lowered his head and wrote a letter, saying: "Report this matter to the court."
Lang Yu took it and looked at it, frowning and said: "It will take some time to wait for the court to reply. What should we do now?"
"Ah Yu, in your opinion, even if Muchen and Mingcheng weren't involved, would Luo Qijun let us go?"
"Won't."
"This is just a trivial matter." Zhao Shu put down his pen, "Whether Mingcheng is injured or not, it has no impact on this war."
"Then why do you still want to send a letter back, my lord?"
"Give the Hou Mansion an explanation."
