Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 80
Yunwu, Han Sui's official residence.

Han Sui was discussing with Cheng Ying, a counselor, when suddenly a soldier came in and said, "My lord, General Han Song is back."

"Oh, Zile is back?"

Han Sui said happily: "Have you ever asked for military rations, let him come in quickly."

Before the soldiers could answer, Han Song staggered in as soon as the cry sounded.

"Uncle, you want to avenge my nephew!"

Han Song's face was swollen like a pig's head, and he almost couldn't recognize him. He threw himself at Han Sui's feet and burst into tears.

Han Sui was stunned and didn't know what happened.

Adviser Cheng Ying quickly asked: "What happened, why did the general come together?"

Han Song wailed loudly: "Uncle doesn't know something, Luo Zheng's child is very domineering, not only did not lend food to uncle, but ordered someone to beat his nephew out with sticks, and even called uncle a traitor, Mingming!"

This is purely splashing dirty water, and Luo Zheng doesn't want to start a war with Han Sui, how can he offend people to death.

Han Sui came back to his senses, his face immediately turned ashen, and he said angrily: "Little Luo Zheng, you are bullying me too much."

Cheng Ying's mouth moved, trying to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

He knows what kind of person Han Song is. He is arrogant, arrogant, and a complete dude.

Luo Zheng and the lord Han Sui have never been against each other, how could they offend the lord rashly.

It must be that Han Song was too domineering and angered others, so he was beaten out with a random stick.

Han Sui didn't know how arrogant and domineering this nephew who was very polite in front of himself was in front of others, and no one would ever tell him about these things. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's fine if you don't borrow money. How dare you beat up the general's envoy? If you don't kill Luo Zheng, others will think that this general is afraid of this fellow, it is simply unreasonable."

Cheng Ying hurriedly said: "My lord, calm down!"

Han Sui said angrily: "Everyone has stepped on this general's face, how can you let this general calm down? Come on, pass on my military order, and immediately mobilize [-] troops to kill Ben Lingju. This general is going to skin Luo Zheng's child for cramps .”

"Wait a minute!"

Cheng Ying was taken aback, and said in a hurry: "Master, you must not do it. The snow has not yet melted, and the roads are impassable, so the army can't pass through at all. Besides, our army has fought fiercely with Ma Teng, and the soldiers are weary of fighting and urgently need to rest. Go to war! Besides, Ma Teng is watching from the side, if the lord raises troops to attack Luo Zheng, and Ma Teng kills in vain, I'm afraid Jincheng will be in danger!"

Han Sui said "hey", and said unwillingly: "Forget it, let Luo Zheng live a few more days."

Cheng Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My lord is wise."

Lingju, Luo Zheng's official residence.

Luo Zheng had just finished his breakfast when he received good news.

Xu Chu came in and said in a muffled voice, "My lord, I found Chen Tong's younger siblings."

"Is this true?"

Luo Zheng was overjoyed when he heard the words. Since the army arrived in Chencang, he sent his own soldiers to Lintao to look for Chen Tong's family. He didn't expect to wait for nearly two months, and now he finally got good news.

Xu Chu said, "People are outside."

"Quick, bring it in."

Luo Zheng waved his hand and quickly got up to go out.

Xu Chu responded, turned around and strode away.

Not long after, a few guards came in with two children.

A boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, who looks somewhat like Chen Tong.

A little girl who was less than ten years old hid behind the boy with some fear.

Although the boy was a little timid, he still defended his sister tightly.

The brothers and sisters were fully clothed and wore thick sheepskin jackets, but their bodies were very thin and weak. It was obvious at first glance that it was caused by often not having enough to eat. In fact, all hungry people have the same characteristics.

"General!"

Several personal soldiers were very excited when they saw Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng frowned and asked: "Isn't Chen Tong's mother still there, why didn't she bring it together?"

The soldier replied: "Xiaoyanggou was ransacked by bandits, and all the people in the village fled to the mountains. The villain took great pains. When they were found, Chen Tong's old mother was already on the verge of dying. She died within a few days." .”

Luo Zheng's eyes were gloomy, and he sighed.

After a while, he asked, "Has it been buried properly?"

The soldier replied: "It has already been buried, and I bought a coffin for it."

Luo Zheng made a 'hmm' sound, waved his hand and said: "Fortunately, let's go down and rest first!"

Only then did the soldiers salute and retreated.

Luo Zheng looked at the nervous boy and asked, "What's your name?"

The boy replied: "The villain is Chen Erdan."

Luo Zheng stepped forward and patted the little girl's head, and asked: "This is your sister, what's your name?"

The little girl was a little scared, and hid to the boy's left.

The young man hurriedly comforted her with a few words before replying, "My sister's name is Chen Daya!"

Luo Zheng nodded, most of the common people are uneducated, and the names are also taken in various ways.

Chen Tong's original name was Chen Daniu, but the name Chen Tong was given to him by a literate military officer after he became a soldier.

Luo Zheng sighed: "Your elder brother Chen Tong is my subordinate, but unfortunately he died in battle in Jizhou. I promised him to take care of his family for him. Since your mother is dead, you and your sister will live in my house from now on let's go!"

Chen Erdan hesitated and said, "Little one, can the little one have enough to eat?"

Luo Zheng laughed and said: "Of course, your elder brother is my most loyal subordinate, and he died on the battlefield for me, let alone let you brothers and sisters eat and wear warmly, I will let you teach you how to read and write, and learn martial arts. The strategy of governing the country. After you become an adult and become crowned in a few years, if you want to make contributions and gain fame, you can enlist in the army. You can get someone to arrange a civil job for you, and you can be promoted as long as you do well. If you just want to live a rich life, I can also give you a hundred hectares of fertile land when you grow up, which is enough for you to be rich for a lifetime."

Chen Erdan half-believingly said: "You are not lying to me, are you?"

Luo Zhengdao: "I am a general of the Han Dynasty, will I still lie to you a boy?"

Chen Erdan was a little excited and said, "The villain wants to be a general."

Luo Zheng couldn't help laughing, thinking that this is the ideal that young people should have.

Chen Erdan thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "What about my sister?"

Luo Zhengdao: "You are still young, not enough to set up a household. I will find you a teacher to teach you to read, as for your sister, let me live in my house first, and let my wife teach her daughter's housework, what do you think? Sample?"

Chen Erdan hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Luo Zheng immediately shouted: "Come on."

"What is the commander's order?"

Some soldiers came in at the sound and stood by.

Luo Zhengdao: "Go and ask Mr. Xun Yu to come over."

"As ordered."

The soldiers agreed and hurried to go.

Not long after, Xun Yu hurried over.

"I've seen the general."

Xun Yu glanced at Chen Erdan and Chen Daya, and bowed his hands to salute.

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said: "Wen Ruo doesn't need to be polite."

Pointing to Chen Erdan and Chen Daya, he said, "This is Chen Tong's younger brother and younger sister. Before Chen Tong died that day, this general promised to take care of his mother and younger siblings for him. Already dead, only this pair of brothers and sisters are left."

Xun Yu nodded, didn't say anything, and waited for the next article.

Luo Zheng sighed, and said: "Chen Tong is loyal to this general, and he will not hesitate to save his life. This general will take good care of his younger brothers and sisters anyway. However, this general is not good at educating people, so we can only trouble Wen Ruo."

Xun Yu said: "The general means..."

Luo Zhengdao: "This general intends to hand over Chen Erdan to Wen Ruo, and Wen Ruo will teach him how to read and write, learn the art of war and strategies, so that he can find a family background in the future. Of course, young people can't develop laziness. Things, Wen Ruojin just teach him to do it. You don’t need to spend time teaching him, just give him some pointers when you have time.”

Xun Yu said with emotion: "I will obey."

This matter cannot be refused. In the final analysis, the reason why Chen Tong fought was because of saving his youngest son.

Xun Yu can only feel relieved that Luo Zheng can treat his subordinates so kindly.

At least if you serve such a person, you don't have to worry about your family being left alone after you die in battle one day.

Luo Zheng said again: "By the way, Wen Ruo gave him a name by the way."

Xun Yu nodded in response, this is nothing more than a trivial matter.

Luo Zheng ordered his soldiers to invite Zhao Yun.

Soon, Zhao Yun walked in with big strides, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen the Lord."

Luo Zheng waved his hand, pointed at Chen Erdan and said, "Zilong has also heard about Chen Tong's matter. This is Chen Tong's younger brother. In the future, if Wen Ruo finds time to teach him to read, if Zilong is free, teach him to practice martial arts .”

Zhao Yun glanced at Chen Erdan, cupped his hands and said, "I obey."

Luo Zheng waved his hand, "Okay, Wen Ruo, Chen Erdan will leave it to you."

"Don't worry, General!"

Xun Yu promised to take Chen Erdan away.

Unexpectedly, Chen Daya clung to her brother tightly and refused to let go, obviously very afraid of life.

Luo Zheng had no choice but to let the brothers and sisters live in the mansion for a while, and wait until they got familiar with the environment.
