When He Bai and Xian Yu brothers escorted Liu Yu back to the logistics baggage camp dozens of miles away, Su Kuan had already gathered most of the defeated soldiers. After inspection, 12,000 of the 30,000 Youzhou troops were missing, although it is possible that some people will come back one after another, and it will never exceed 5,000.

The death and loss of 7 or 8,000 people in the first battle was already a fiasco for the 30,000 Youzhou army, and after this battle, I am afraid that there will be no more heart to fight a decisive battle with the rebels. Fortunately, most of the generals were there, and only one Captain Qian, who was beheaded by He Bai, was the supreme general who died in battle.

It's just that after returning to Jicheng, when he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds and punished for his responsibility, Liu Yu was extremely embarrassed.

In the governor's mansion, Liu Yu summoned all the generals who were on the expedition to gather together, first of all, as a reward. He Bai's greatest achievements in this battle, the first confrontation with the rebels, killed more than 4,000 rebels, captured more than 5,000 people, and broke the enemy in total of 10,000 people.

It's just that you have to be the governor of any county, and you have to see where there are vacancies. If there is no vacancy, go to the north and south armies of Luoyang City to take up a post. Moreover, although the lieutenant is a brigade commander-level officer, he is already a high-ranking official with more than 2,000 stones, and he needs to go to Luoyang City to find the court to register his merits before he can be appointed.

Then He Bai was rewarded with two hundred catties of silver, one million coins and a thousand horses of silk, and then it was the reward for the second meritorious brother Xianyu.

Liu Yu's face was solemn, and he said: "Liu Bei, originally Liu Taishou recommended you as the temporary lieutenant of the acting county, and this official thought that you were a rare talent among the Han clan relatives. I don't want to lose this time, but I start with you. Do you have anything to explain? ”

Liu Bei bowed and said: "Although this battle was drunk during the New Year's Festival, it was taken advantage of by the rebels. But Bei will never dare to shirk responsibility, but let the envoy dispose of it. ”

Liu Yu nodded and said, "You are quite honest." But this time, the official remembered that you had no military talent, but you were forced to be the temporary lieutenant of a county, all because Liu Taishou and the official did not know how to use people. So this time, the official will not punish you, and demote you to the position of military candidate, can you be convinced? ”

Liu Bei thanked him and said, "Bei, thank you for your kindness." ”

He Bai suddenly realized, originally saw that Liu Bei was already the temporary lieutenant of the county at this time, and two years later, he was still the commander of Pingyuan County, and he was strange at the beginning, but it turned out that there was still today's demotion. Heh, Zhang Fei was drunk and mishap, but not this time or twice, you will have to bear it in the future. He Bai's anger towards Liu Bei couldn't help but be greatly dissipated.

Liu Yu said: "In this defeat, the most responsible person should be the official, and the official will write to the court to ask for punishment." But He Bai, what is the explanation for the fact that you killed Captain Qian without permission? ”

He Bai was shocked, it turned out that there was a big thing in himself. Hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Back to Liu Envoy, He Bai was originally an army guarding grain and grass. At night, when he saw the fire in the main camp, he discussed with Captain Su and hurriedly led the troops to rescue. A lot of foot soldiers gathered along the way, and I wanted to ask Captain Qian, who had fled to lead the way, to go south to save people, but I didn't want Captain Qian to answer, but in fact, he turned around and retreated first......"

He Bai told the situation one by one, and finally concluded: "If He Bai didn't kill him, but if he didn't kill Captain Qian, the 6,000 foot soldiers would scatter in a hurry, and He Bai would have no soldiers to go south to rescue Liu Yuanjun." ”

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Although you did not do a bad job, you still can't shirk the matter of killing Captain Qian without permission." The official fined you 1 million dollars and gave it to Captain Qian for burial and family support. Moreover, the generals were very dissatisfied with your unauthorized killing of Captain Qian, thinking that you could no longer stay in the Youzhou army. This official can write a letter, recommending that you go to the Luoyang General's Mansion to see what arrangements General He will have. ”

He Bai was stunned, Liu Yu's arrangement can be regarded as the best protection for himself. It seems that Liu Yu's nature is not bad, he is quite considerate of others, and he is also very popular. It is no wonder that after his death, the Xian Yu brothers were still bent on avenging him and never dying. It is indeed worth learning by yourself, and you hurriedly bow down to thank you.

He Bai hid it after receiving Liu Yu's letter, and asked his old boss Xian Yuyin to drink goodbye to Su Kuan, and at the banquet, Su Kuan bought the mansion that Liu Yu rewarded with three million dollars. If it is in the future generations, the house will be at least hundreds of millions, and the house price at this time will be like this.

On this day, He Bai led more than 200 horsemen, drove more than 2,000 war horses, and humped 4 million money and 19 beauties to prepare to go south to Luoyang. Just after walking a short distance, I saw more than 100 people blocking the road, but it was Youzhou soldiers led by Yu Hua and Cheng Qi.

Cheng Qi stepped forward and said: "He Sima, no, it should be He Duwei, that night the villain got more than 200,000 yuan of military exploits, and the boss deducted a lot, He Duwei did not compensate the villain." ”

He Bai smiled: "After the war, you don't know where to run, I can't find you, how to compensate you." You have more than 200,000 yuan, what about the others? Reported together. ”

Yu Hua stepped forward and kicked Cheng Qi away, and bowed: "He Duwei, don't listen to Cheng Qi's nonsense, the villains are here to defect to He Duwei." ”

He Bai asked suspiciously: "After this battle, some of you will at least be promoted to an officer above the rank of 100 generals, and you will stay well in the Youzhou army, why would you think of abandoning your post and coming to join me?" ”

Yu Hua bowed and said: "Captain He killed Captain Qian, and the Qian family still has many relatives and officers in the army. They can't help Captain Ho, but it's easy to deal with us. In addition, we admire the heroes of He Duwei very much, and we are willing to serve under He Duwei. Presumably, there will be a promising day in the future, and we can take advantage of the opportunity to shine on the lintel. ”

He Bai is overjoyed, he is finally a little charming and famous now, and he can absorb talents. This Cheng Qi is good at running, his strength is not small, and his sword skills are good, he is very brave, and he can be used as a pioneer.

This Yu Hua is good at archery, and his marksmanship is also good, He Bai only remembered a little that night, and the rebels who died in the hands of Yu Hua were no less than 30 people, which is comparable to some fierce generals. It can be used as a para-military game.

He Baixiao asked, "How many of you are there?" I can first affirm that I have served under me, but I have not beheaded Jinyi. ”

Cheng Qixi said: "The lord just remembers, and when he is developed in the future, he will slowly reward us." ”

Yu Hua shook his head, pulled Cheng Qi and said, "We have a total of one hundred and thirty-seven people, and we will meet the lord." I am willing to go to the soup for the Lord, and I will not give up. After saying that, they all knelt on the ground and bowed.

He Bai hurriedly jumped off the horse to help them up, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, you are all willing to follow me, I will not lose each other when I develop in the future." ”

He Bai introduced everyone into the army, and after meeting Fu Xing and Chengzhang, he prepared to continue his journey south. After a short time, I heard a lot of fast horses running behind me, and I heard the fast horses shouting something.

He Bai ordered a pause, and then he heard the fast horse shouting: "Deputy Commander He is slow, wait for me." ”

He Bai was taken aback, and glanced at Fu Xing and Chengzhang, at this time, there were still people who called themselves He Deputy Commander, could it be the dozens of horsemen who escaped from the Baima Yi army in Beiping? He Bai hurriedly rode his horse and ran backwards, and Cheng Qi and Yu Hua followed closely to the left and right.

I saw that the person who came was really dressed in white clothes and white armor, and the white horse riding a white horse was dressed up. All of them are quite familiar characters. It's just that they haven't changed their clothes and armor for a long time, and they are all a little worn and gray.

He Bai muttered: "Where righteousness goes, life and death are the same!" The sky can be learned, and the white horse is the proof! ”

More than 30 people riding white horses also murmured: "Where righteousness goes, life and death are the same!" The sky can be learned, and the white horse is the proof! ”

"Brothers...... You guys...... Great work"

"Deputy Commander He, we are not bitter."

After that, the tears rolled down involuntarily, and they couldn't stop it, and both sides jumped off the horse, gathered around, and hugged each other tightly.

Just after He Bai and the others met, they were about to set off, and heard a fast horse coming from behind. He Bai turned his head to look, and saw a white dragon horse with a shoulder height of more than seven feet stepping on the snow and dark clouds, and sitting on a beautiful woman with a snowshirt flying.

He Bai suddenly felt funny, what kind of day is today? Relatives and friends came one after another. This time it was He Bai who never expected the character, Gongsun Zhan's sister, Yan's former daughter-in-law Gongsun Linglong.

After He Bai stepped forward to greet him, he laughed and said: "Ahhh ”

I didn't want Gongsun Linglong to ignore He Bai's teasing, and I cried with tears in my eyes and looked at He Bai directly, seeing that He Bai was so uncomfortable, He Bai had to have a serious expression and asked in a deep voice: "Miss Gongsun came to look for me, but what is the matter?" ”

Gongsun Linglong choked up and cried: "The eldest brother pursued Zhang Ju and Qiu Liju rebels with 3,000 people, but because he went too deep, he was defeated by Qiu Liju, who was supported by Shangjun Wuhuan Nanlou and other departments, and was besieged in Guanzi City in Liaoxi for more than 20 days. The second brother sought help from Youzhou Mu, but Liu Yuanjun said that he had just been defeated, and the soldiers had no desire to fight. Moreover, Zhang Chun, Wuyan and other rebels divided into ten routes, plundered southward, and reached the hinterland of Qingdao and Hebei in a few days, and even more intended to go south to Xuhuai. This thief army is too powerful, so it can't go to Liaoxi to rescue. ”

He Bai remembered that Gongsun Chan seemed to have such a catastrophe, so he asked, "So what?" ”

Gongsun Linglong cried: "Liu Yuanjun said that he can't send troops, but you have free." You have broken the rebel army with 300 cavalry, can I come to you and ask, would you like to go to Liaoxi to save my eldest brother? ”

He Bai frowned and said, "That Qiu Liju used to be related to me, but I was a little unhappy with Gongsun Zhan, this ......"

Gongsun Linglong no longer has the wildness of the past, and begged with a pitiful look: "Please save my eldest brother, now you may be the only one in the entire Youzhou who can save him." ”

He Bai sighed: "I really don't want to save it, anyway, with Gongsun Zhan's ability, he won't necessarily die." ”

Gongsun Linglong begged, "Don't you want to get me? If you willingly go, I will be your man from now on. ”
