The next day, a group of wounded soldiers in the camp took the civilians' ox cart to a town called Wuji Town in the southwest of Luzhou City.
There were about forty or fifty soldiers in the army, and people were constantly dying on the road, so they could only dig a hole and bury the matter.
Most of the injured can only rely on civilians to take care of them. There is only one person in the army who is known as a doctor. He has a poor official position as a clerk and may have done some copying work. In the war, he turned into a doctor who treats wounded soldiers.
No matter what medical skills are, he can't stand it at all.
The town is a county-level military stronghold, and generally has town generals and military garrisons.But when Guo Shao came to Wuji Town, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him. Is this a town?
There is a archway standing on the Loess Road with the three words Wuji Town written on it. This is probably the building with the most traces of human civilization here.
Behind the archway, the broken earth walls had already shown signs of weathering, and there were holes everywhere, so the simple city gates were just decorations, and there were no soldiers standing on the verge.
From a distance, there are many low and dilapidated houses in the city, some of which are thatched huts and buildings similar to shacks; it seems that they are towns, but they don’t look much different from a village.
When I entered the town, I saw all the old and weak women along the way, and almost never saw the young and strong men. There were also ragged disabled old men coming up to beg.
The person who came out to hand over the official documents was a fat man, claiming to be the general of the town and Li Desheng, but he didn't see any appearance as a military general.
Li Desheng was forced to disperse the wounded soldiers in various residential houses, and forcibly ordered each wounded soldier to take turns to provide food and provide people with care for their lives.
Of course, Guo Shao lived with Yang and Luo, and the other wounded soldiers also joined the people they knew.
After settling down, I realized that Guo Shao and others felt that this place looked like a village. In addition to the name of Wuqi Town, there is also an alias called Widow Village.
Because there are almost only a few types of people in Wuqi Town: the elderly, weak, sick, disabled, and widows.
The governors of the Zhaoyi Army in Hedong were responsible for resisting harassment from the Northern Han and Khitan for a long time, and have always been a northern human barrier for the Central Plains dynasty.
Wars occur frequently here, with many casualties and injuries.
Some soldiers in the town died or were disabled, and their families who depended on military pay lost their source of income, and the Luzhou staff office was unable to continue to support them; so those people would be forcibly moved out of the military stronghold and set up another place and some land for them to seek their own way of survival.
Wuqi Town is one of these places.
Barren arable land, backward economy, famines, bandits, and wars are rampant, and most of the people who move here do not have strong labor, so people live a very difficult life.
Even so, the military government still did not miss the opportunity to transfer some burdens to these suffering people. Restoring wounded soldiers is one of the burdens, and the military government did not even transfer a single grain of food.
There is a thatched hut next to the place where Guo Shao lives. There is a lonely old woman living in it. She is blind and skinny, and she is completely dependent on the charity of the townspeople.
Not long after I came, I heard about her. Her husband and three sons died on the battlefield one after another. Her daughter was caught in a haystack when the Khitans went south and humiliated to death. Now the whole family is only half-tied old woman left.
It turns out that being alive is also so painful.Guo Shao and others heard the old woman's howl every day.
Luo Mengzi couldn't stand such a tragic incident and often saved a portion of his food for the blind old woman.
But Yang Biao occasionally complained and cursed: What a living thing, you're done, you're gone when you close your eyes, what's the point of living!
But this guy is just a mean person. Guo Shao hasn't heard a good word for him for so long; but Yang Biao's words are ugly and he will throw away half of the cake or something.
Guo Shao thought that a person’s behavior did not have to listen to what he said, but he had to look at what he did.
……
The three of them spent their days and nights, and their relationship was better than when they were in Tokyo. After a while, they discussed calling each other brothers.
Luo Mengzi suggested that Guo Shao be the eldest brother.Among the three, Guo Shao was the youngest, so he immediately refused: Brother Yang is much older than me, how can I behave like a big brother?
Luo Mengzi said without any distinction: We were not born by the same parents. We only judge our size based on our ability, but we can see how old we are!In the play, Liu Xuande is younger than Guan Gong, so isn’t he the eldest brother?
Guo Shao pondered endlessly and swept Yang Biao's face with inadvertent eyes.Yang Biao said with a stern face: Luo Er's words are rough or not, and it depends on his ability to judge the size of the big picture.
Brother Yang is really convinced?Luo Mengzi smiled and said, "At that time in Tokyo, my elder brother was one level older than you. Didn't Brother Yang feel that he was a good person and couldn't let go of his face?"
This guy really doesn't mention the previous holidays. Luo Mengzi is so happy that he opens his mouth.
Yang Biao snorted: If Yang is a dissatisfied person, he will not call him Big Brother on his neck!
After hearing this, Guo Shao still said nonsense. He said too much was pretentious, so he immediately made a quick decision: OK, then I will be reluctant to be my elder brother. In the future, we will enjoy the blessings and share the same difficulties.
Big brother!Big brother!Second brother and third brother!
Guo Shao stretched out his hand and raised it in the air. Yang Luo and the others looked at each other and stretched out their hands in confusion. Guo Shao slapped hard: I am for everyone, everyone for me!
Luo Mengzi chuckled for a while.
Yang Biao still had no smile on his face and said after a while: That day, the general surnamed Zhao made a special trip to the military camp to commend the elder brother, saying, "It is advisable to be the commander." Zhang Yongde, the commander of the front office of the hall, seemed to admire the elder brother very much. He had spoken for you twice, and he was in charge of the military power of the army in the front office of the hall. It seems that the elder brother really can be promoted to the commander.Although the elder brother can convince the public with his extraordinary skill of killing Zhang Yuanhui with the formation, his foundation will easily become unstable if he advances too quickly. In the future, a command of 500 people may not be enough to rely on the help of two brothers.I have an idea. There are 40 or 50 wounded soldiers in Wuqi Town, and there should be 20 or 30 people who can recover their combat power. These people were disrupted and their subordinates did not recognize their generals and had no place to rely on them. Why don’t you take the opportunity to let them be under the army?
Guo Shao nodded frequently when he heard this: My second brother is right, but he has been a general who has become the head of the capital. This time he said it was very pertinent.
Yang Biao said again: Let's come from Gaoping. The wounded soldiers were all in the same camp at that time. General Zhao was very loud that night, saying that you shot Zhang Yuanhui to death with one arrow, and the official family was probably hearing the whole camp.Although the wounded soldiers do not know us, the elder brother can win people's hearts with just this prestige.
Guo Shao thought for a while and said: There is a list of soldiers in the Wenshu Lang and military doctor Zuo You, but now that it is not in Zuo You's hands, it must be in the hands of the town general. Let's do two things first. First, get the list of military registrations, and second, get the support of the town general.
The three of them agreed and did what they said and acted separately at the moment.Yang Biao went to find Zuo You, and Luo Mengzi helped Guo Shao to visit the town general Li Desheng.
