Chapter 26: The First Divorce
Anova said coldly in unfamiliar Chinese: "You, betraying your father, me, separated from you." ”
He Bai shouted: "Where is it that I betrayed Lord Yuezhang, it was Lord Yuezhang who first broke his promise to attack the Han first." ”
Anova sighed and said, "I, I know, but, I am my father's daughter, and my father is old, and I want to stay with him." ”
He Bai shouted: "But you are already my wife, how can you still blindly think about Qiu Liju." He had many tribesmen, more than a dozen wives and concubines, and a two-year-old son. He's not too old now, Lou Ban will grow up one day......"
"No......" Anova stopped He Bai's words and said, "You are leaving, I already knew." But suddenly, he is also leaving his father. You can't stay for me, but you can. Both of you are gone, and my father can't bear it. ”
He Bai was stunned, but he didn't expect Anova to be a good daughter who loved her father so much. She was leaving, there were early signs, and it was not surprising that Anova could guess. But Badon also came to the door to persecute him, saying that he also wanted to leave Chuliju, which Anova couldn't accept. Unless he can stay and help Qiu Liju, Qiu Liju's power will decline greatly. No one can accept this.
He Bai has never encountered such a thing since he grew up. On one side is the great cause of Han Land, and on the other side is Anova. As for Anova, on the one hand, it is her husband's mind, and on the other hand, her father's ambition. There is also Badun, if there is Anova, he will help Qiu Liju, and if there is no Anova, he will walk away.
He Bai left his tent irritably and went to find Fu Xing and Chengzhang to drink. At this time, the wine is called wine lees, and He Bai has always been unaccustomed to drinking it, but today he was drunk happily. In the drunken dream, He Bai thought a lot, but in the end, it was the great cause of the Han land that had the upper hand in his heart. A wife who only thinks about her father, but not for her husband, doesn't seem to be interesting anymore, so it's better to get along and disperse.
On the second day, He Bai and Anova were relatively speechless, no longer in love with the past. He Bai's nose is sour, and I don't know if Anova loves herself or not? Maybe when she was with herself, she was just following Qiu Liju's order to envelop herself, she didn't have half a love for herself at all, everything was just a task.
He Bai blinked his eyes, held back his tears, and said, "If you still remember our feelings, give birth to the child in your womb." If a boy is born, it should be called Yi, and if a girl is born, it should be called Si. ”
Anova nodded coldly, and He Bai said again: "These more than 1,000 tribesmen and slaves are mostly your dowry, and I only take 300 horses and 1,000 horses, which can be regarded as my reward for conquering the Kesuo'er Department." All the gold and silver treasures stolen from the Han land are given to you, which can be regarded as my compensation to you and the child in my womb. ”
Anova nodded again, but He Bai opened his mouth but said nothing, so he had to sit silently opposite each other. He Bai felt sad in his heart, thinking of the divorce of the husband and wife in the later life, presumably just like himself. Suppressing the grief in his heart, dividing the property with his wife, and instructing the custody of the children.
In the end, He Bai couldn't stand the dull atmosphere, stood up suddenly, and said, "That's it, let's ...... There will be no time in the future. With that, turn around and leave.
After the account was released, He Bai, Fu Xing, and Chengzhang led the three hundred martial arts and blood horses and a thousand good horses out of the village, looking at the excited, uncontrollable and proud Bunton, He Bai shouted coldly: "Ratun, you won this game." You treat Anova and my children well. If not, I will destroy your entire Wuhuan tribe. ”
He Bai proudly waved his whip and said with a smile: "He Bai, you don't cherish Anova, you want to be your Hanmin, but I'm not like this." Anova is the sun in my heart, the beautiful sun, without her, I can't live at all. Therefore, it was the biggest mistake for Anova to be with you at the beginning. Thankfully, this mistake has been reversed today. You deserve to lose today. ”
He Bai secretly hated in his heart, but in the end he still blamed himself. It would be nice if it was just a game, but it's a real world. It is difficult for him to stay in the Wuhuan tribe and be the leader of a minority group.
He Bai's disgusted leader turned to Yuyang County, and saw the desolation of Yuyang County, and the villages that were covered by heavy snow and burned to ashes, and countless human bones were exposed in the wilderness, as if they had entered hell.
He Bai exclaimed: "What's going on? Is this rebel so hateful? ”
Cheng Zhang sighed and said, "Have you ever seen the Yellow Turban Rebellion, when more people died, at least more than six or seven million people died in the country, and there were dead bodies starving everywhere. I don't have strong nerves, I'm just afraid that I'll be driven crazy. ”
Fu Xing sighed and said, "So, I said that unifying the world as soon as possible is good for this country and this nation." ”
He Bai was stunned and said: "'The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines. That's what it was referring to. Hehe, if you don't wear the Three Kingdoms, you don't know the pain of this era. Only when you come to this era in person can you not see wearing the Three Kingdoms as a pleasure, but as a responsibility. ”
He Bai patted his horse and galloped over the field, and his face was red and painful from the cold wind and sleet. In a short time, the gaps were cracked, and blood was all over the face. It seems that the decision to abandon Anova and return to Han was not bad. At this time, the Han nation was reaching a huge turning point, and a misstep was a hundred years of darkness in the Wuhu Chaos era.
At that time, there was not one Han people in the north, and it almost reached the point of extinction. Even if there is a great integration of ethnic groups, it cannot be forced to integrate by means of massacre and conquest, but by integrating ethnic minorities in the way that the Han people take the initiative.
Thinking of this, He Bai's spirit perked up, yes, a good man came to this world of great contention, how could he tie his hands and feet for a little love for his children, sighing. How can it also move forward bravely and be fearless.
He Bai fought horses all the way to lead the troops west, and the carefully selected Wuhuan good horses were good. Although shorter, he is very endurant and not picky eaters. Just find some dry grass roots in the snow to eat, without special feed feed, and He Bai and others can provide a lot of mare's milk. A thousand horses, at least eight hundred are mares. As long as there is a place for He Bai to develop with peace of mind, in a few years, there will be thousands of horses and thousands of cavalry.
Youzhou is too close to Deanova, He Bai doesn't want to stay in Youzhou, and is ready to go to Bingzhou to find opportunities. There are already 300 cavalry private soldiers, so I guess I can get it reused anywhere, right?
He Bai took the road when he came, passed through Yuyang, passed Guangyang, Shanggu, Daijun, and Yanmen, and arrived at the section of Taihang Mountain where He Bai lived in seclusion.
When I arrived in Guangyang County, the Youzhou Thorn History Department was here. There are many Han soldiers and horses here, and although the rebels have been here, they have not been able to capture a county seat, and it is still in the hands of the government at this time.
Although the people of He Bai's brigade were dressed like Han people, the appearance of Han people at this time was still different from that of the Wuhuan people. After all, they are two different peoples, and they have not yet been fused by blood, and they can still be detected on closer inspection. In addition, everyone carries a knife and a bow, and the spirit is not as good as the good class. There are many horses, and they are not like horse sellers. Everywhere he passed, he was jealous, and from time to time there were spies from the official army to spy around.
Finally, when he passed the Juyong Pass, one of the "Nine Stops in the World" and the eighth of the "Taihang Eight Mountains", he was stopped by the vigilant guards.
I heard that not long ago, the Wuhuan tribe of Shanggu instigated about 9,000 Wuhuan people to rebel against the Han Dynasty, invaded Shanggu County, killed Gong Qichou, the captain of the Wuhuan school, and plundered several county seats, and the Han people suffered heavy casualties. The Nanlou Department had just been repelled by Liu Hui, the Taishou of Daijun, who came to help, and suddenly there were three hundred men and horses from the east who looked like Wuhuan Tu Cavalry, how could the guards not be vigilant.
No matter how much He Bai begged and gave gifts, he couldn't let the guards switch on, and in desperation, he had to make a detour and prepare to go south directly to Jizhou. There are no dangerous roads in the direction of Jizhou, and if you find some secluded paths to walk, you should be fine. I didn't want to go near Jixian County, and I was surrounded by a thousand cavalry regiments of the Youzhou Prefecture Army.
Although He Bai was not afraid, he didn't want to start a war with him, so in desperation, he had to step forward to explain. told his own origin and experience one by one, and deliberately said that he thought about the Han family, so he abandoned Wuhuan and joined the Han. However, the cavalry captain who led the state soldiers seemed to believe it or not, and he had to let He Bai stop the soldiers to visit Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, and listen to Liu Yu's decision.
After discussing with Fu Xing and Chengzhang, He Bai thought that it was not a good thing to run thousands of miles to Bingzhou with nearly 300 Wuhuan people. Although he didn't want to fight Qiu Liju, it didn't hurt to fight the Han rebels of Zhang Jubu's army. As long as you can get a clear household registration identity in the Han Dynasty, especially the identity of an official, it doesn't hurt to lead three hundred cavalry around.
He Bai had no choice but to let Fu Xing and Chengzhang stay behind, and rode alone with the hundred horsemen and horses who were fresh in silver, and went to Jicheng.
Idle and bored along the way, He Bai talked to Xian Yuyin about Guangyang County. Guangyang County is the capital of Youzhou, with a total of 45,000 households, a population of 27 or 80,000, and only five counties.
It looks like a small county, but the economy of Jixian County, Guangyang County is the most developed in the entire Youzhou, and the population of the county is also concentrated in the Jixian area, accounting for two-thirds of the county, as many as 33,000 households.
Moreover, Jixian County is also the largest county seat in Youzhou, and it is also the number one in the entire Han Dynasty. Compared with Youbeiping, Youbeiping is a remote and poor county, except for the weapons manufacturing industry and animal husbandry, the others are confused.
After entering Jixian County, it was really good, He Bai finally saw the prosperous big city of this era, which was not much worse than the small western counties in later generations. It turned out that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, not all places were starving, and people did not dare to witness it, but there was still a good side to it.
Later generations often said that the only man died by force. It's not that it's time to die, but it's that it was forcibly destroyed by Dong Zhuo and the Shi clan in natural and man-made disasters.
