Zhang Yu served ink in the fifth tent, and occasionally saw the sect master after marching during the day, taking advantage of the darkness of the sky, drawing a map with a pen.

When Xiao Zhang Yu leaned over to watch, the sect master also pointed to those mountains and rivers and said to him: "Zhang Yu, we are now located in Jingwei County, walking northwest along Jingshui, and looking at that mountain across the river during the day is called Ganquan Mountain, Ganquan Palace is built there, and on the other side of Jingshui is our hometown Liewei County. ”

He was afraid of Jingshui, a few years ago it was the flood that wiped out the already not wealthy family, and now when it comes to the word hometown, Zhang Yu's first thought is not the childhood residence that has long been washed away, but the fifth mile that shelters him and Zhu Di.

After several years of displacement, they forgot the feeling of home, but they found it again in the fifth mile, at the beginning of the name of the kitchen brother, but the leftover water and leftovers from the kitchen, after cooking at will, entered their stomachs. The originally thin two of them have jumped a lot taller, and Zhang Yu is now trying to bend his arms, and he can even find a small muscle.

And the sacrifices and celebrations that those Quanli people participated in also strengthened their sense of belonging, and Zhang Yu even wished that he was also the fifth, and the fifth blessing always looked at him with superior eyes.

When the march continued the next day, when the team was resting by the Jingshui River, Zhang Yu showed what he had just learned yesterday and told the Zhu Tu Yong that the lieutenant was on the other side.

"It's home."

Except for a few peasants who were forced to become strong men because of tax debts, the rest of the slave-born people were expressionless.

Zhang Yu immediately understood that they were not homesick, and the memories left by the lieutenant to everyone, in addition to the hard work that the rooster was about to start and the reprimand of the master, only the traces on his body remained.

"Although it is hard in the barracks, at least I haven't been whipped in the month since Boyu Sima came." Zang Nu said this with satisfaction, wanting to arouse the gratitude of the robes to the fifth lun.

But his eloquence and appeal are much worse than those of the main Bo Xuanbiao, and it has become the scene of a rollover, and the pigs have spit out their beaten experience: "I was beaten because I grabbed food when I was cooking." ”

"I've also been beaten, because I was too sleepy when practicing my standing posture, I fell asleep while standing and fell out of the circle."

"And me, I ran twice on the way from Hongmen to Maoling."

"You still have the face to say? Changed to other battalions, died twice early! ”

Zang, who had already become a judge, angrily scolded them: "Wait...... You deserve it? Well played! Next time? Naigong himself carried the whip. “

Everyone also laughed and admitted, although the fifth Sima had benevolence in his heart to give them food and clothing? But in military discipline? In addition to reducing the number of killings, the small punishment is actually a little more severe. If it's a seasoned soldier? Maybe they will be afraid of power and morality, but most of them are born as slaves and maids? Now I'm glad I met a good host? After realizing that it seemed to be more alive to stay, he didn't run.

With a shout, the short rest was over, and they had to pull the manpower full of armored soldiers? Or continue on the road with a flat pole for grain storage.

That's it? On the tenth day after the opening, they arrived at Yiju County, which used to belong to the northern land of the Han Dynasty, and was assigned to Jingwei by Wang Mang and left Yiju County? finally got out of the territory of the sixth lieutenant and officially entered Weirong County.

Now it's Shuzuo Xuanbiao's turn to be homesick.

The road runs north along the muddy valley? Mud water is as its name suggests: one stone of water, six buckets of mud. It's mid-spring in February, and the runoff is still small? But it's already very muddy.

The loess under your feet is thick and compact, under the sculpture of the water flow? Formed a lot of ravines and ravines? A farmer with a white curtain on his head busy plowing the field and growing millet? Sometimes, herdsmen in sheep's coats, wielding whips in their hands, drive black goats from the loess plateau to the river to drink water and graze.

"The scenery in this area is very similar to Xiuling County in the north of the lieutenant." Xuan Biao missed his father very much all of a sudden, and he didn't know how he was doing in Wuwei Siming Prison? Has he been sentenced to exile in a distant land?

The further north you go, the more desolate the scenery becomes.

Some people from the southern part of Lieutenant County bowed their heads and picked up the soil to taste it, only to think that there were really poor mountains and bad water in this area.

"There are shrubs and mounds everywhere, and the soil quality is not good, and in such a barren place, if you sow a handful of millet seeds, you won't be able to harvest much after half a year."

"Jun Sima said that the end of our trip is the rich and fertile land on both sides of the river, why is it not like it anymore? Are you lying to us? ”

Although they said that they were homesick, these lieutenants still panicked for the first time after entering the unfamiliar environment, after all, in the first half of their lives, the farthest way was to accompany their masters and go to the county seat to catch a market.

At this time, it was Xuan Biao's turn to do ideological work for everyone: "This trip will take seventy days, and now Cai has been gone for ten days, and the scenery on this road will change many times, who is Jun Sima?" Knowing more nature than you and other Yongli. “

"I have also heard my father mention in the past, in the Han Dynasty, there were poor people in the west of Guan, flooded south of Shuofang, immigrants reclaimed the land there, and fed more than 700,000 people, because the wealth is comparable to Qinzhong, so it is called New Qinzhong, the land is rich, cattle and sheep are flocked, it is said that in autumn, there are so many grains that they can't eat enough."

After calming down the military hearts of the pig warriors a little, Xuan Biao actually had some doubts in his heart, after all, it was just hearsay, and he didn't go to see it in person, but during the seclusion with his father, he met some marginal people who fled from the north to the south, and listened to them complain, saying that Wuyuan and other places were extremely poor, but I didn't know how about the north of Weirong?

Because of the desolation along the way, it often takes three or four days to reach the next county seat, and the number of dead people encountered on the road gradually increases.

In the past half a month, on the road, you can often meet pigs who have fallen on the side of the road, sometimes with wounds, they were killed when they fled, sometimes there were no wounds, but they died of hunger and illness, and their clothes were ruthlessly stripped away by their comrades.

When he was in Xiheting County (Dayao County), the sharp-eyed Zhang Yu found a terrifying scene: it was a big pit that had just been buried for a few days, and it was full of pigs lying horizontally and vertically, because it was buried too hastily, often exposing one leg or one foot on the ground, and even some people were buried half of it and found that they had not lost their breath, but they were abandoned, only convulsing and begging there.

The fifth rescued one of them, and after being watered, he was still angry, and according to his own account, he followed the vanguard to rejuvenate the army, and the chief officer of the rejuvenating army rushed day and night despite the fatigue of the pigs, and they were less than 700 people, and a fifth of them had fallen in ten days.

"At night, they were tied together with ropes around their necks, and they had to be stripped naked to prevent them from escaping, while sick soldiers like me were abandoned."

In addition, shoes, clothes, and food were embezzled by their superiors, and they were already in a very poor state when they set off, and many people walked for more than ten days, but the lights had run out of oil, and they could no longer walk, and what was waiting for them was only to be abandoned and die.

This man didn't live long before he swallowed his breath, and at the suggestion of Xuan Biao, because he was full of food and had the strength to bury him, this time it was buried very deep, so deep that wild wolves and wild dogs could not take out the corpse.

After the burial was completed, Zang Nu said from the bottom of his heart.

"Or Boyu Sima treats us well, not only distributes clothes and shoes, but also does not let us go hungry on the road for more than ten days, and when we meet those who are too weak to travel, they will be released in the pavilion, and some money will be left."

As for the fate of those people, no one knows and does not want to know.

This time no one raised the bar to refute, and the pigs stood silently in the sunset, unconsciously leaning together as the night grew darker—the more deaths they encountered on the road, the more united they became.

Rally around him, just as Fifth Lun hoped!

……

Like the crew on a lonely boat, in the face of the stormy seas outside, they can only pin all their loyalty and hope on the captain at the helm.

But the fifth captain himself is also under tremendous pressure, in the camp, the fifth Lun has three orders and five repetitions, on the road for these two months, it is okay to eat empty salaries, but the matter of deducting the living rations must be put an end!

Anyway, when the hundred, the soldiers were almost replaced by his people, the seventh Biao did the hundred, the fifth Pingdan, the first chicken song and so on for the soldiers, the bottom soldiers and Xuan Biao and others to help themselves manage, the two military candidates Dai Gong and Jin Dan were completely set aside, and only the fifth Lun horse was the first to look forward.

The biggest trouble came from the external conditions, despite the oxen-drawn carts, the grain they brought out from the Jingwei County warehouse was limited after all, and the Northland County was poor, and the local officials could not get much replenishment after scraping another layer of oil and water.

In order to keep his 800 people from starving, Wu Lun had to fight with the heel army Sima every day, striving to let the pigs and pigs have something to eat.

"The rush consumes a lot of energy, and the pawn eats two catties (more than 500 grams) of dry rice per meal, and the pawn should eat the same amount."

"After all, whether it is baggage armor or grain and forage, they are all pushed and transported by the people under my command, but it is much more tiring than the main pawns who only need to carry the blade, if they are exhausted and slow down the march, it is not good."

The name of the heel army Sima is Tumen Shao, and the Duling people are also, the ancestors are probably slaughtering pigs and dogs, and he is also a greasy face, he is also a veteran of bargaining, and he just started to say something, and the pig of the Xingjun and the army can only eat half of the rations of the pawn, and after fighting for a long time in the fifth Lun, he relented.

"One and a half pounds, and no pickles to accompany the meal, there must be no more!" Tu Men Shao did not allow Wu Lun to speak again, ending this dispute that would occur every few days.

In the end, he smiled and said, "This is still for the sake of Boyu." ”

Indeed, Wu Lun was a bribe and promised to give Tu Men Shao's family briquettes and other benefits to persuade him, but according to Tu Men Shao's statement, what he cared about was not those things outside his body, but the fifth Lun person.

"Bo Yu, do you know what the Sima under General Han thought of you before?"

Tu Men Shaodao: "All look at you sideways, until that day to decide the order, if Bo Yu is competing everywhere, everyone will definitely be more jealous of you, but after you shirk it, I feel that you are a lot more kind, and I am willing to communicate with you." ”

Talented people will always incur jealousy, and Fifth Lun didn't expect that he would have such unexpected benefits by showing his cowardice and hiding his clumsiness, otherwise he would have to suffer from the black knife of the friendly army.

While the two were talking, Xuan Biao came to report, saying that he found that the wheat seedlings along the way were seriously trampled, and many of them were pulled out, which may have been done by the Xingjun and the army in front.

"It should have been done by the pig suddenly, and sure enough, the dog couldn't change the." Tu Men Shao laughed, these words made Xuan Biao angry, but he was stopped by Wu Lun shaking his head.

It should be that the pigs and pigs who followed the former army were hungry and there was not enough food, so they dug wild vegetables and gnawed the bark of the trees, and the green seedlings of the wheat in the field that were still early to mature were not spared.

Fifth Lun can only ensure that the Fifth Battalion under his command, because they barely eat enough, should not do such a thing.

Nearby was Gongzhu County (Yuzhi County), two days away from the capital of Weirong County, where they would be able to get their last supplies from the county cang.

But when the heel army was on the road again, they were stopped by a group of excited people on the road, all of them were locals, numbering hundreds, and many more people rushed over, holding farm tools in their hands, and the three elders led by them said indignantly that the front army had destroyed a large number of their green seedlings when they passed by.

Some people went to stop them, but they were arrested as Ding Zhuang, and now this matter has alarmed the husband and the three elders, and the officer who can call the shots gives an explanation.

This is a bit troublesome, and Fifth Lun is about to propose that he go and discuss with these three elders and others, after all, he is good at dialects in different regions.

Unexpectedly, Tu Men Shao sneered: "The trouble caused by the front army, what is the matter with my rear army?" ”

Tu Men Shao lazily raised the order flag, so that the recruits in the pawn could come forward and line up in an array.

"We were ordered by the Son of Heaven to go to Saibei to resist the Huns, and you waited for this group of people to come to meet the king without bringing a pot of pulp, but actually stopped it for a trivial matter?"

"The Son of Heaven has an edict, and he will go out to the army, and if he dares to break the law, he will be beheaded, and there is no need to choose the time! Listen to my orders, the long soldiers are in front, the bow and crossbow are in the back, just shoot! ”

Wu Lun was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped: "Wait! ”

Tu Men Shao smiled and said: "Bo Yu and look at it, I will teach you how to get along with this group of Diao people, it has been more than ten days, and the new pawn always has to see blood, they are not ordinary people, but thieves, and the killer will be rewarded!" ”

The local people on the opposite side also saw that the situation was wrong, and they retreated one after another, just as a horse rushed out, holding a seal ribbon in his hand, and said loudly: "Stop!" ”

"I am the imperial court, the Marquis of Yiyang, and the chief of Fu."
