Text Chapter 82 The fifth brother is looking for his relatives
Following the plan set by Zhang Poxiao and Lieshan Tong when they left, Luo You led the main force separated from Quan Xingyang's team, which is what we call the New Dawn Army, and took advantage of the civil strife in Tianluo Hall and the withdrawal of the Night Dynasty army to easily seize the remaining five counties of Zhangyun Prefecture.
The main force of the Xuan Demon Clan of the Night Dynasty retreated, but there are still some local armies in these counties guarding the town, and the general combat power is not high, at this time, without Zhang Poxiao's management, the army is originally elite, it is the division of tigers and wolves, all the way to the past, devastating, several generals occupy a county, and begin to integrate the local army in the county.
The stubborn ones who do not cooperate are directly killed, and the rest are retrained and recruited from the local area.
After Zhang Poxiao's attack on the night dynasty, the whole Tiandu was famous, and the three counties of Zhangyun he managed were deeply popular among the people, so after the new dawn army occupied these counties, some people joined the army, and it didn't take long for the number of people to increase from a few thousand to more than 30,000, so far the entire Zhangyun Prefecture has become the territory of the dawn army.
On this day, Luoyou ushered in a guest, who was Zhang Poxiao's fifth brother in the world, Zhang Chuwu.
Hearing that the soldiers came to report that there was a person who claimed to be the general's brother, Luo You still couldn't believe it, they returned to Zhangyun County for several months, Zhang Poxiao has been inquiring about his brother's whereabouts, but the county and the village have said that they have not seen him, which has also become a regret for Zhang Poxiao, as the general around Zhang Poxiao, they often listen to him, often full of sadness, sighing, and have been worried that the fifth brother will starve to death on the street, then he will be the only one left in their family.
Now people say that it is Zhang Poxiao's fifth brother, if it really is, it is a great joy to be happy.
Luo You hurriedly called Wang Xiaosan, a fellow villager from the same village before Zhang Poxiao, and asked him to accompany him to greet him, and by the way, see if it was the general's brother.
When the two came to the tent, they saw three people standing at the door, a man, a woman, and a child.
The three of them were unkempt and ragged, and their eyes were a little timid, only the child was not afraid of the living, and stared around curiously.
Zhang Chuwu went to Xiyu County when he left Long County, met his current daughter-in-law on the way, and the two went to the survival road together, and gave birth to a child named Zhang Goudan on the way.
After leaving his hometown for two years, he had no chance for his younger brother, and he had been begging for a living all these years.
The three of them slept in the open and came back begging, feeling uneasy, worried that they would recognize the wrong person, when the sixth child left home, his name was Zhang Liujin, not Zhang Poxiao.
If it weren't for the begging of a big family in Nanzhao County, the housekeeper of the family asked a lot, where is he from, after knowing that it is Zhangyunlong County, he talked about the Dawn Army, saying that the leader is also from Long County, when he was a child, he was called Liujin and later changed his name to Dawn, pulled up a team and fought with the Night Dynasty, and won the battle, and asked him if he knew him.
He had to vaguely say that he didn't know him, but there were huge waves in his heart, could it be that this Dawnbreaker Army was led by his younger brother?
He decided to go back and see, of course it was best, the two were brothers, at least they could eat enough, and they wandered around, and the doll also suffered, and was seriously malnourished; If not, I would have been away from home for two years, and now that I have become a family, I should go back and visit the grave of my parents and brother.
Looking at the majesty of the entire barracks, whether it was the guards standing guard or the patrolling soldiers, it brought him great pressure in his heart, if it weren't for the team of the six-pound brother, would these soldiers have burst out and kill people, thinking of this, the calf involuntarily swayed, and the daughter-in-law next to him was also a little scared, and pulled his sleeves several times, if he hadn't plucked up great courage to come here with his scalp, he wouldn't have to suffer, thinking of this, he secretly blamed himself, and had the intention of retreating, but his legs trembled, and he couldn't take a step at all, He stood with his daughter-in-law doll with his head bowed.
Wang Xiaosan's eyes were very sharp, and when he saw the person at the door, although he hadn't seen him for two years, he still had a big appearance, and it was clearly the general's brother Zhang Chuwu, and he shouted happily: "Fifth brother Chu, you're back, our general has been looking for you." ”
Zhang Chuwu raised his head and saw Wang Xiaosan's face in the same village, his heart finally fell to the ground, they had been playing together since childhood, he was here, then his younger brother was definitely the leader, he happily ran over and hugged Wang Xiaosan.
Several people introduced each other and led into the camp, Luo You entertained this Zhang Poxiao's own brother, Zhang Chuwu looked at a table of delicacies, shed tears, since he was a child, he had never seen such a sumptuous meal, and he didn't dare to move chopsticks, or Luo You and Wang Xiaosan continued to persuade the dishes to eat, a few glasses of wine, bold, and more words, and said to each other that the situation in the past few years is embarrassing, especially Zhang Chuwu, who has been begging for many years, has too many sad things, and his daughter-in-law also cried next to him, Only the almost two-year-old doll ate it with relish.
"Fifth brother junior high, now Liujin is the general here, you just have to stay, and when he comes back, I will arrange an errand for you, and you don't have to suffer the sin of wandering around and looking at people's faces." Wang Xiaosan said.
"Yes, yes, you are the general's eldest brother, that is, my eldest brother, now that the army has just changed places, the conditions are more difficult, don't you mind." Luo You also raised a toast and said apologetically.
Zhang Chuwu was stunned, no wonder when he went to the Dawn Barracks in Long County to ask, the people over there called him to come here, it turned out that the Dawn Army had changed places, and asked: "I heard in Xiyu County that my younger brother was raising trouble in Long County, why did he come here?" ”
Luo You sighed, told the ins and outs, Zhang Chuwu scolded after listening to it: "That Quan Xingyang is really not a thing, my brother is just polite, he came to take refuge and really asked for 30,000 horses of the Dawn Army for nothing, no, I want to talk to the old man about this matter, isn't he just the father-in-law who occupies six catties, as the old saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, I will come back for my younger brother to seek justice." There is also a younger brother and younger brother and sister who went to that mountain villa to see a doctor, I don't know when I will come back, and our two brothers haven't seen each other for two years. ”
Luo You heard him say that he was going to find Quan Xingyang to seek justice, his heart moved, what the general was embarrassed to do, his brother could do it, with his understanding of Zhang Poxiao, he would not do anything to his brother, and this is just to fight for his interests, it is indeed feasible, several people at the table complained about Zhang Poxiao, and agreed to go back to Long County to find Quan Xingyang.
A few people talked about some things in Long County, Zhang Chuwu heard that his younger brother had just come back and went back to the mountain village to cut off Wang Maocai's head to worship his parents, but unfortunately several brothers and sisters starved to death in the drought, only one child left by the eldest sister was alive, Zhang Poxiao accepted him into the Xiaoxiao Army to make a hundred households, I heard that the young man is very good, now fifteen years old, very smart, but not in this county, he is in Liu Zongsheng's team, waiting for one day to call him to come and meet him.
Hearing that his sister and brother are no longer in the world, his heart is full of pain, this world is really unbearable, on the way he saw many refugees, and the corpses of soldiers crawling with maggots and flies that were not taken away, how could the people live with peace of mind when they were fighting everywhere.
Several people talked about the hardships of the world over and over again, while chatting about drinking wine and eating meat at home.
After the meal, Zhang Chuwu was arranged to stay, and Luo You also hurriedly wrote a letter to Zhang Poxiao to let him know the good news.
Early the next morning, Zhang Chuwu really took Wang Xiaosan and a few others to find Quan Xingyang in Long County.
Speaking of Zhang Chuwu, who has just changed from a beggar to a rich peasant, he doesn't have the courage, but in the discussion between Wang Xiaosan and Luo You, hearing how his younger brother was wronged in the Treading Heaven Alliance, and how he unwillingly handed over the military power of the Dawn Army to his father-in-law, the angry fire could not be suppressed, like lard blinding his heart.
Quan Xingyang heard that Zhang Poxiao's own brother came to visit, and he was very happy to come out to greet him, who thought of standing at the gate of the camp, so he asked Zhang Chuwu to scold a bloody dog, what kind of person is he Quan Xingyang, a hot-tempered and narrow-minded person, he pulled out his saber and prepared to kill this person at that time, but fortunately Li Fenglin arrived in time to persuade him.
and told him that this person couldn't be killed, otherwise Zhang Poxiao came back and knew that someone had killed his brother, so it would not be able to end, so let him take a step back and open the sky.
Quan Xingyang could only suppress his anger and return to the camp with hatred, sulking for this matter, and being angry and sick.
Zhang Chuwu suddenly woke up when he got out of the camp, he actually scolded a general with tens of thousands of horses, and his brother's father-in-law, he was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and he didn't have the domineering spirit when he came, and he couldn't stand on his feet and let Wang Xiaosan go back.
This incident was only an episode, but this incident accelerated the development of another thing.
Zhang Chuwu went back and recuperated for a few days, no longer a down-and-out beggar, but became the general's brother in a blink of an eye, began to swell, walked in a figure-eight step, and often went around to "inspect" the barracks, and Luo You just smiled and ignored it.
He also successfully met the little nephew, although the little nephew is only fifteen years old, he is very good-looking, more than seven feet tall, his skin is a little dark, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he is a good man at first glance, and he praises him repeatedly, please remember this child, an incident in a few years is closely related to him.
The two reminisced about the past, gossiped a little, and talked about the small mountain village and the dead sister, both of them hugged each other and cried, secretly vowing to stand up to the night dynasty.
After the two chatted for an hour, the nephew rushed back to the barracks in a hurry due to something in the army, and Zhang Chuwu kept sending him outside the camp before returning, thinking that when his younger brother came back, he must let him gather his relatives together.
Although the drought was still severe, after the dawn army occupied the county seat, the granary of the county government was opened, and some grain was levied from the landlords to resettle the residents and displaced people.
The forest depths of Meijin Mountain are still lush and green, and a few wild birds fly by from time to time, as well as the sound of pine waves, playing a desolate music.
That day, the bottom of the cliff where Yu Chi Lingfei, Gu Jinghong and Bi Clam fell together was another scene.
