The big man has a living father

Chapter 1: Can’t Control My Belt
"Huo Qubing didn't know he was my father's son earlier, so he didn't fulfill his filial duty. Now he wants to fulfill his filial duty, but since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. Qubing can only return to Chang'an to be loyal to the country. This time, I want to bring my second brother to Chang'an and recommend him to be an official... A man's ambition is to serve in the government, I think father should understand, right?"

The handsome and tall young man wearing expensive armor really didn't know how to get along with the father in front of him.

The person who was speaking was Huo Qubing, the person who was listening was his father Huo Zhongru, and the people who were eavesdropping behind the window were Huo Hai and Huo Guang.

Huo Hai is not familiar with the history of the Han Dynasty, but he has read a lot of marketing accounts and knows that the next scene should be the father Huo Zhongru kneeling on the ground and saying to the son Huo Qubing, "This old minister is entrusted with the general's care. This is God's will."

The reason for all this is simple. Twenty years ago, on a stormy night, Huo Zhongru and Wei Shaoer secretly got married and gave birth to a son.

Huo Zhongru and Wei Shao'er had agreed that he would go home to make preparations, and then go to Chang'an to pick up Wei Shao'er and marry her. But for some unknown reason, Huo Zhongru did not come.

However, Huo Qubing was taken into the palace by the current emperor Liu Che and raised there. Later, he fought against the Huns and made great military achievements. He was granted the title of Marquis of Guanjun and was appointed General of Cavalry!
At the beginning of the year, when Huo Qubing went to war, he was brought here by local officials and reunited with his biological father Huo Zhongru.

At that time, Huo Qubing really wanted to slap his father. After all, his father did not keep his promise and did not go back to marry Wei Shaoer, which made Huo Qubing a fatherless child.

However, Huo Qubing was raised by Emperor Wu of Han after all, and the idea of ​​filial piety was deeply rooted in his bones. He eventually forgave Huo Zhongru, and bought real estate and land for Huo Zhongru, as well as slaves and maids, allowing Huo Zhongru to live the life of the richest man in the local area.

During this expedition, Huo Qubing roamed the desert and made great military achievements.

But along the way, Huo Qubing was thinking about one thing: his younger brother Huo Guang was already fourteen years old. If he continued to waste time here, he would probably not be able to make a name for himself. No matter how much money he gave him, when he was gone, the Huo family would not be able to protect him.

Moreover, he swore that "how can I have a family if the Huns are not yet destroyed?" It would be better to take his younger brother to Chang'an to be trained, and to ensure that the Huo family will have descendants.

As long as I have myself and my military achievements, no matter what happens, the Huo family bloodline will definitely be preserved.

So, Huo Qubing returned home and proposed to take his younger brother to Chang'an to serve as an official in front of Huo Zhongru.

At this time, Huo Zhongru lowered his head: "This... this..."

Seeing Huo Zhongru's behavior, Huo Qubing suddenly felt something was wrong. Could something have happened to Huo Guang?
"What? What happened?"

Huo Zhongru laughed awkwardly: "Nothing unexpected happened, just a little incident."

Huo Qubing was puzzled: "Interlude? What does this word mean?"

Huo Zhongru organized his words: "Now... you have another brother."

Huo Qubing was very happy to hear that he had a new brother. He laughed and said, "At the beginning of the year, I saw that my wife had no signs of pregnancy. I didn't expect that I would have a brother in just a few months. Don't worry, Dad. When my third brother grows up, I will bring him to the court to serve as an official."

After hearing what Huo Qubing said, Huo Zhongru was even more embarrassed: "Well... theoretically speaking, Huo Guang is your third brother."

Huo Qubing tilted his head: "???"

Huo Zhongru smiled awkwardly: "At the beginning, I promised your mother that I would go back to my hometown and then go to Chang'an to marry her, but I encountered bandits on the way and lost all my money, so I couldn't go to Chang'an again."

"Fortunately, a beautiful woman rescued him at that time. Later... after the general went on an expedition against the Xiongnu, your second brother Huo Hai came to visit."

No matter how Huo Zhongru argued, Huo Qubing wanted to whip him!
Last time, Huo Zhongru said that he did not want to abandon his wife subjectively, but it was natural disasters and man-made disasters that prevented him from rushing to Chang'an.

Now it seems that he just can't control his belt!

It was only a few months between his return from Chang'an to Pingyang County and his decision to go back to Chang'an? He secretly got engaged once more, and then abandoned me once more. I have a second brother again, right?
However, what kind of magnanimity did Huo Qubing have? He remained calm when faced with a mountain collapse: "Are you sure there won't be another person who cuts in line and makes Huo Guang the fourth in command?"

Huo Zhongru hastily swore: "It's gone, I swear, it's really gone!!!"

Huo Qubing began to think about it.

To be honest, Huo Qubing had three considerations when he wanted to take Huo Guang to Chang'an.

First, he had no real relatives in Chang'an and needed a closer blood relative.

Second, the Huo family needs inheritance, and only by going to Chang'an can they gain a foothold in this world.

Third, he didn’t want Huo Guang to learn bad things from Huo Zhongru.

Now, a second brother shows up?

Huo Qubing: This second brother is more like me than my third brother. He also grew up without a father like me.

After thinking about it, I decided to take both younger brothers away.

Soon.

Huo Qubing and his whole army set off. An uncle-like deputy general privately asked: "General, why don't you leave a younger brother at home to take care of your old father?" Huo Qubing rode his horse and said: "I don't have anyone to take care of my children, how can I take care of him in his old age? Just based on what he has done, I have given him so much money to buy so many properties, but I haven't punished him yet. It's really unreasonable for Your Majesty not to recommend me as a filial and honest official! Go!"

……

Three months passed quickly.

Huo Hai sat in the carriage with a gloomy face.

Ever since traveling through time, Huo Hai found that he had a great start.

Although his biological mother was gone, he became Huo Zhongru's illegitimate son.

Originally, this body should have died this spring, but Huo Hai traveled through time and became the owner of this body.

After integrating his memories, Huo Hai discovered that he was actually the illegitimate son of Huo Zhongru and the younger brother of Huo Qubing.

The previous incarnation was too embarrassed to go find Huo Zhongru, but Huo Hai did not hesitate at all and went straight to Huo Zhongru.

If it was three months ago, Huo Zhongru would have definitely kicked Huo Hai out. After all, Huo Zhongru was not from a wealthy family. How could he recognize a son without any evidence? Even if he knew that he was his biological son, he would not have recognized him.

But now that Huo Zhongru has become rich, he has other ideas.

Although Huo Zhongru was not particularly smart, when the county magistrate of Pingyang County and he were drinking together and calling each other brothers, he mentioned that Huo Qubing intended to bring Huo Guang into the court.

Huo Zhongru was worried that no one would take care of him in his old age, so he thought of taking Huo Hai in and letting Huo Qubing choose between the two.

Keep that and provide for yourself in your old age.

Unexpectedly, Huo Qubing said, "Only children make choices, but I want them all."

What's wrong with being the older brother of two younger brothers? Why do you have to choose? What? You said that you will have no son in front of your knees? When I was a child, I didn't even have a father outside the cradle!

In this way, the brothers Huo Hai and Huo Guang boarded the direct train to Chang'an.

However, there are exceptions to everything, and direct trains may have to turn around sometimes.

When Huo Qubing was heading towards Chang'an, a major event happened on the grassland.

The Xiongnu Chanyu Yizhixie was angry at the repeated defeats of King Hunye, so he wanted to summon him to the Chanyu Court and then kill him. Upon hearing the news, King Hunye immediately joined forces with King Xiutu and others to plan to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and sent an envoy to inform the Han court.

After hearing the news, our great emperor was worried that it was a false surrender, so he issued an imperial decree to let Huo Qubing lead the army to welcome King Hunxie. It didn't matter whether it was a false surrender or not, as long as Huo Qubing was there, it was a real surrender.

Since it won’t surrender, beat it until it surrenders.

Therefore, Huo Hai, who dreamed of being a playboy, was forced to follow the army to the north and received military training for three months.

In fact, His Majesty the great Emperor guessed it right.

Huo Qubing led Huo Guang, Huo Hai and the army all the way north again, and arrived near the camp of King Hunxie. As a result, some of King Hunxie's men were unwilling to surrender and plotted to escape.

Huo Qubing led his men into the camp, first took care of King Hunxie, and then killed eight thousand Xiongnu soldiers who tried to escape. King Xiutu and his men also died in this turmoil.

Now King Hunxie is alone and unable to stand up. Facing the butcher's knife, it doesn't matter whether he surrenders truly or falsely. There is no room for him anyway.

After capturing them, Huo Qubing would escort King Hunxie to Chang'an alone, then return to the army and bring more than 40,000 of his surrendered subordinates back to Han.

Huo Hai, who knew nothing about the history of the Han Dynasty, thought that after he left with his elder brother Huo Qubing, he could go to Chang'an and become a playboy.

I didn't expect that after a trip to the north, my already thin body, which was not very wealthy to begin with, became darker and thinner.

However, Huo Hai still mentioned this to Huo Qubing: "How could the great emperor be deceived?"

Over the past few months, Huo Qubing has become familiar with Huo Hai's style. He is lazy and cunning, but his judgment on many things is still reliable.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that indeed, His Majesty the Emperor is perfect, how could he be deceived? This time it was indeed not a deceived. I should be careful when writing the memorial. At least I could get back two thousand households of fiefdom, which would make His Majesty happy. I might even get Huo Hai and Huo Guang a title.

"Don't worry, second brother. King Hunxie has truly surrendered, but some of his subordinates are unwilling to do so. I will have the person who writes the military report record it truthfully."

Soon, the military report was delivered. Huo Qubing took 300 people, plus the children and families of King Hunxie and other high-ranking Xiongnu officials, as well as the brothers Huo Hai and Huo Guang, and set out for Chang'an first.
