Chapter Seventy-Eight: Brothers

Zunyi.

Since the Battle of Pingbo, Banzhou has been renamed Zunyi Prefecture. However, the current Zunyi Mansion belongs to Sichuan.

However, it doesn't matter who it belongs to, what matters is who is in the hands of the Great Western Army now.

On that day, Sun Kewang asked the Qing army. originally wanted to advance into southern Sichuan, but under the lack of soldiers and horses, Sun Kewang actually hit a nail, and could only move to the weak place of the Ming army, which was Zunyi Mansion.

Here in the mountains, although there are still the banners of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that everyone has forgotten them. Sun Kewang took this place almost effortlessly. After taking this place, Sun Kewang recuperated, and the tens of thousands of horses of the Great Western Army slowly recovered.

However, Li Dingguo has not been happy recently, it is not Sun Kewang who is targeting him, but Zhang Yu's illness.

Zhang Yu was originally a child, his resistance was weak, and he tossed back and forth with the army. How can he bear it, after arriving in Zunyi, he got sick, crying every day, his body temperature was hot, and there were no famous doctors in Zunyi at this time.

But Li Dingguo was in a hurry.

Zhang Xianzhong has been adrift for half his life, and he only has this bone and blood. If folded here. How did Li Dingguo see Zhang Xianzhong underground.

But what can he do in a hurry, Li Dingguo found Langzhong of all sizes near Zunyi. However, children are weak and cannot use the medicine of tigers and wolves, and they take medicine every day. It's just barely enough to survive. Seeing it, I can't wait to soak Zhang Yu's medicine jar. But Zhang Yu's condition is not very good. In a situation where there are good and bad times.

Li Dingguo's thought became more and more firm, and he said secretly: "You can't let the child follow around in the ravine." Otherwise, this kid may ----" and he didn't dare to think about the rest.

Every day, after Li Dingguo got up, the first thing he did was to go to see Zhang Yu.

This day is no exception.

It's just that Zhang Yu has been living with his mother Fan, and Fan is nominally Li Dingguo's stepmother. But the actual age is a few years younger than Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo also wants to avoid suspicion and can't come more, so he just comes to see it every morning.

ordered someone to report that Li Dingguo came in with a curtain.

Then a familiar smell of medicine came. I just didn't hear the child's cry. There was a secret doubt in my heart. Seeing Fan's, Li Dingguo bowed slightly and said, "How is the situation with the little brother?" ”

When Fan saw Li Dingguo coming, he immediately burst into tears.

Fan is a great beauty.

When Zhang Xianzhong was there, Fan's could be crowned queen, and he could see Fan's stunning beauty. Li Dingguo's eyes drooped. Avoiding direct gaze, his heart tightened, and he said, "But what happened to the little brother?" ”

Fan said: "The child fell ill last night and cried all night. Lang Zhong came overnight and took medicine to appease him. It's just that Lang Zhong said that Zunyi is a small place and there are no famous doctors. The child has a good foundation and can still maintain it, but if it continues like this, there will be no help. He asked him to go to Wuchang, Chongqing and other big places quickly and think of a way. ”

When Li Dingguo heard this, he said, "Why don't you call me?" ”

However, as soon as Li Dingguo said this, he understood what was going on.

Li Dingguo, a big man, went in and out of Fan's room late at night, coupled with the relationship between Li Dingguo and Fan, it can be regarded as a mother and son. Spread out, I don't know how many bastard words can be made.

It seems that Li Dingguo's movements are bigger. alarmed the child.

The child cried again, and Li Dingguo listened to the child's crying, and his heart was slightly sour.

Lang Zhong said that Zhang Yu's foundation is thick, which is indeed true, when he was in Chengdu, he was tiger-headed and cried very loudly. But now, the cry is weaker and I don't know how much, and the voice is subtle. How could Li Dingguo not be in a hurry.

He comforted Fan with empty words, and then left Fan's room.

As soon as he came out, he bumped into Sun Kewang.

Sun Kewang also came to see the child.

Sun Kewang is not as long as Li Dingguo, but there is nothing wrong with the etiquette.

After Li Dingguo waited outside for Sun Kewang to come out, Li Dingguo couldn't help but say: "Big brother, where will I go in the future, my eldest brother doesn't have a charter, and he can't stay in the ravine all the time." ”

"What's the hurry?" Sun Kewang said: "The previous defeat was too miserable, and it must be repaired before it can come in handy." ”

Li Dingguo said: "Now that the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty have run out, it is Uncle Luo's Xia Dynasty, but there is a bit of momentum, don't you think about going to Daxia?" ”

Sun Kewang said: "Didn't I say it before, but now that we are exhausted, we are naturally not taken seriously, we must fight a few victories, build momentum, and then it is not too late to defect." ”

Li Dingguo knew that what Sun Kewang said was a pretext. He didn't care about it before, and Sun Kewang was hurt because of this incident, but now he can't, Li Dingguo said: "The eldest brother can wait, I can wait, but the younger brother can't wait." ”

Sun Kewang sighed and said: "That's no way, when we marched, we never took children in the army, and even if we had children, they drowned." After all, it is normal for a child to be unable to stand in troubled times. ”

"But he is the only blood and blood of his stepfather." Li Dingguo said.

"I can't joke with tens of thousands of soldiers." Sun Kewang said: "Even if my father-in-law is here, he will definitely agree to my approach." The big picture counts. ”

Li Dingguo naturally knows what kind of person Zhang Xianzhong is, even if he looks at it again

Zhong Zhang Yu, a child, will never hinder the army's actions because of a child. Sun Kewang said this, and he was not wrong. Li Dingguo said: "But the father-in-law is gone, and his old man only has this bit of blood and bones." When you were dying, you were there to know what your Father was saying. Can I leave it alone? ”

Sun Kewang is just a face-saving effort for Zhang Yu, and he doesn't care too much about whether Zhang Yu can stand or not. However, he cared about his second brother, after all, he was the only one who could compete with him in the Great Western Army. Sun Kewang said: "What does the second brother mean? ”

Li Dingguo said: "Since the eldest brother has the intention of defecting to Daxia, then as soon as possible, Wang Lung is in Chongqing, we will defect to him, and send the younger brother to Nanjing for treatment. ”

"Second brother, do you have to force me to say it?" Sun Kewang said: "You should understand what I mean. The foundation of my father-in-law's Great Western Dynasty, I don't want to give it to others. ”

"Big brother is different." Li Dingguo said: "If four or five years ago, what the eldest brother wanted to do, I would have taken a trip with the eldest brother, and today's situation is either clear or summer, and if it is not summer, it is clear." The Qing army killed my father-in-law, and if I want to take revenge, I must borrow the hand of the Xia army. ”

"And when Uncle Luo is here, we also call him uncle, there is a little old affection, I don't think it will embarrass us, why should the eldest brother go against the sky."

Sun Kewang didn't talk much, after all, the two grew up together since childhood. The relationship is good and they know each other very well. Sun Kewang didn't think he could convince Li Dingguo. In fact, Li Dingguo didn't think that he could convince Sun Kewang, and he said this more to show his attitude.

Sun Kewang said: "If I don't go to Xia, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Dingguo was also silent for a while, and said for a long time: "I can't fight my father in the end, and I must let my little brother survive." Since the eldest brother is unwilling, then our brothers, let's get together and disperse, and go our separate ways. ”

Zhang Xianzhong is gone, and the core of the Great Western Army is gone.

The soldiers and horses of the Daxi Army were in the hands of the four brothers, and Li Dingguo took his own men and horses, but it was not impossible to part ways. But it is not something that Sun Kewang can accept.

The soldiers and horses in Sun Kewang's hands probably accounted for about half of the remnants of the Great Western Army. But he also knows that Li Dingguo has always been very popular, as soon as Li Dingguo leaves, will Liu Wenxiu leave, and will Qi Nengqi leave? As a result, the Great Western Army was left with only a few men and horses in Sun Kewang's hands.

Sun Kewang's prestige also plummeted.

And such a large western army would not exist.

Sun Kewang was bent on rectifying the Great Western Army and wanted to take back the military power from the hands of the four. In the depths of his heart, he had long regarded the three generals as his own subordinates, and now that Li Dingguo wants to take people away, wouldn't it be as if he was forced to cut his flesh.

How could he possibly agree?
