Chapter 42: The History of the Assassination of the State
It may be that He Bai became famous in the battle to defeat Li Le, and the good families and brave warriors of Taiyuan County have a good impression of He Bai. When He Bai's conscription order came, they enthusiastically voted. However, in ten days, more than 20 people came, and each of them brought ten or dozens of horses. He Bai suddenly got nearly three hundred fine horses.
What pleased He Bai the most was that there were several well-known people from good families and brave warriors who came to vote. There are Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Yue, Cheng Lian, Li Feng, Xue Lan, Liu He, Gao Ya, etc., all of whom became the eight strong generals, guard generals and partial generals of the invincible flying general Lu Bu.
These are all brave generals who have passed the test of history and can leave their names in history. Although the military commanders are not high in later games, it is undeniable that they are one of the best battalion and regimental officers. It is not impossible to become an officer at the brigade level after a long baptism of war. Although He Bai lacks a corps commander, he also lacks a middle-level officer. As long as a talented person comes to vote, He Bai is very happy.
However, He Bai also found a guy among them who was good at martial arts, named Che Jing, and I heard that he was a local hero who helped the county lieutenant defend the city in Jingling County. can make the tens of thousands of troops of the white wave thief leader Han Siam unable to attack a mere Jingling county for a long time, it seems that this guy is a nameless general in history. At least there is also the ability of the regiment commander.
He Bai was overjoyed, and held a banquet to summon the generals, not to mention anything else, and held a banquet for three days in a row to enhance their loyalty. Then each person also gave a gift of 100,000 yuan to build a relationship.
Three days later, the generals called He Bai differently, no longer politely called He Duwei, but called Lord Duwei. As long as a period of time passes, it is not impossible to change the title to the lord.
Just as He Bai was about to appoint the generals to the official positions, someone suddenly came to report that the newly appointed Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan and other five hundred horsemen had arrived in Jinyang City. Ding Yuan's name He Bai is familiar with, and he is more familiar with his famous generals such as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zhang Yang. That is a real good general above the military level, and Lu Bu and Zhang Liao are even more famous generals at the level of the corps commander.
Ding originally came to take office with a counterinsurgency army of 30,000, because the army was tens of thousands, and there was a lot of baggage, so the time to gather and set off was slow. It has been almost a month since He Bai came to Taiyuan County, and the white wave thieves have all run away. The 30,000 troops he brought were still in the area of Qi County in Taiyuan County, and he was anxious about the rebellion of the Southern Huns, and he didn't know what the situation was, so he hurried in advance.
He Bai wanted to see how the flying general Lu Bu was heroic, and also to see how Zhang Liao and Gao Shun looked; Specially took his well-known generals to Jinyang City to meet the new assassin history.
Although the history of a state assassin is not a special official, only a mere 600 stones, but the power is terrifying, and he has the highest power to supervise the civil and military officials of a state. It can be seen that the court attaches great importance to and trusts him, and he also has a certain amount of power. In case of emergency, all the troops, horses, and food supplies in the whole state can be dispatched.
Moreover, the assassin does not have to be tested by the officials appointed by the three dukes for the officials of the state. In other words, if the assassin says that you are guilty, you are guilty, and there is no need for the Three Princes to send someone to re-examine. However, the assassin has no right to appoint, only the right to recall, and it can only be done through the formalities of the court.
But the state pastor is different, the state pastor has the power to cut first and then play, first appoint and first dismiss, which can be said to be the lord of a state, an independent kingdom. Therefore, Zhou Mu is the real local powerhouse, and for Ding Yuan's assassination history, He Bai, a brigade-level general, just be polite, don't care too much.
Although the power of a state assassin is roughly the same as that of a state pastor, one is false after all, and the other is true. As long as you are a county Taishou and a lieutenant in the court, you can not be afraid of assassination.
He Bai left the generals outside the ya, and went to the palace of the assassin to meet Ding Yuan. After the two sides saluted, without waiting for He Bai to look at the surrounding characters, he heard Ding Yuan's rough voice shouting: "He Duwei, you have been in Taiyuan for a month, I don't know if you know about the Southern Xiongnu in Yanmen County?" ”
He Bai was stunned for a moment, what does this mean, I don't understand, and responded: "Ding Thorn History, He Bai is the governor of Taiyuan County, and his duty is to protect the safety of Taiyuan County, the Southern Huns of Yanmen County, He Bai has no soldiers and no power, so he doesn't dare to understand." ”
When Ding Yuan heard this, he immediately patted the case and shouted, "Why don't you dare to understand?" Since you want to protect the safety of Taiyuan County, and you don't know about the war in Yanmen County, how do you know that the Southern Huns will not send people south to invade Taiyuan after the great victory? You say you don't have soldiers? Didn't you call up an army of five thousand? There are also 30,000 thieves, and there are thousands of elite soldiers if you pick them. The white wave thieves have already withdrawn again, why don't they send troops to Yanmen County to rescue the Hun Zhonglang General? ”
When He Bai heard this, he was not happy in his heart, and shouted: "The 5,000 troops of this official were only strong people in various counties a month ago, and the soldiers were not accustomed to war, and there were no unscrupulous generals to lead them, so it was very reluctant to fight the white wave thieves, let alone fight with the Southern Huns. 30,000 thieves? Hmph, that's just the people of Xihe and Taiyuan counties who have just been held hostage by the white wave thieves for less than two or three months. Now that he has subdued, he should turn the thief into a farmer and return home to prepare for spring ploughing. How could they be sent to Yanmen to die......
Ding Yuan was even more furious when he heard this, stood up and pointed at He Bai's nose and scolded, shouting: "It is better to send to death than to defeat the Hun Zhonglang, and now Yanmen County is almost under the threat of the Southern Huns." If Yanmen is lost, Taiyuan and Daijun can survive alone. If the overall situation is corrupted, this is all your guilt......"
The officers and soldiers of Yanmen County were defeated again? He Bai looked at Taiyuan Taishou, seeing that he was also crying with a sad face, thinking that he had just received the news, and he was also scolded by Ding Yuan for a while. However, according to the laws of the court, it was not allowed for the counties to send troops to ask for help without authorization. He Bai and Taiyuan Taishou are not wrong. Except for a few who ignore the rules, most people follow them.
I saw Ding Yuan coming one after another with big hats, and he was extremely unhappy. Lao Tzu has only been here for a month, and it would be good to be able to wipe out half of the 100,000 white wave thieves and drive half out of Taiyuan County. This is also the result of the rise of the White Wave Thieves and the fact that the leader does not know combat skills.
The Southern Huns are all old wars, and they are all cavalry, how can they go lightly without elite soldiers in hand? You don't treat soldiers as people, Lao Tzu still treats them as brothers. Hearing Ding Yuan scolding without stopping, He Bai couldn't help but be annoyed. calculated that he had not done anything in the past month, but he was scolded by Ding Yuan, the old man, pointing his nose. For a while, even the heart of respecting the elderly was gone.
He Baigong arched his hand and said: "Ding Tingshi, there are still important things in this official army, so I will retire first." After that, he turned around and left, making Ding Yuan, who was scolding happily, stunned.
He Bai angrily led the people back to the barracks outside the city, but he really took advantage of the excitement and returned defeated. He Bai had just returned to the barracks, and his anger had not calmed down, so he didn't want Ding Yuan to lead people to rush over again, so he shouted at the gate of the barracks.
He Bai had no choice but to let him in. Ding Yuantie blushed and shouted expressionlessly: "This official was ordered to lead the troops to quell the rebellion in the state, and there are not enough soldiers and horses, so I have specially dispatched your soldiers and horses to the north to Yanmen County to rescue." Ask Captain He to hand over the arrows of the order in the army to this officer. ”
He Bai looked at Ding Yuan with a stammering mouth, good guy, I just lost your face, and you will immediately come to seize my military power. It seems that he is not ready to take himself north to Yanmen to fight the Southern Huns. This set of officialdom is very slippery, who said that Ding Yuan is a big boss?
He Bai wanted to refuse, but the assassin himself had this power, and it was useless to refuse. Thinking that the five thousand soldiers who had just been trained were taken away, He Bai was suddenly depressed. After reluctantly handing over the arrow to Ding Yuan, He Bai rode a horse and hid in the grove outside the village to sleep.
I don't know how long it took, anyway, He Bai was very annoyed. Most of these 5,000 troops were trained in a different training method from this era, and I don't know how Ding Yuan would use it? If it is not used well, it is no different from the people who have not been trained.
Suddenly, there was an anxious shout from Chengzhang outside the woods, and He Bai sat up and called out of the tent. When Chengzhang saw He Bai, he immediately ran over on a panting horse and shouted: "He Bai, the new Bingzhou Assassin took the arrow and said that he would transfer troops......
He Bai said irritably: "Yes, then I gave him the order arrow." ”
Chengzhang waved his hand and said, "No, no." He also wants to transfer our martial arts and blood riding with the white horse righteous rider. ”
"What?" He Bai was immediately angry, immediately found a horse, and rushed towards the cavalry station.
Before he could reach the place, he saw from a distance the Wudou Blood Rider and the White Horse Righteous Riders running in a circle around Ding Yuan's five hundred horses, and they didn't shoot their bows. But Ding Yuan was guarded by a tall fierce general, shouting loudly. Seeing He Bai coming from afar, he shut up and looked at He Bai coldly.
The cavalry also discovered He Bai's figure, and under the command of Fu Xing and other generals, they rushed towards He Bai. He Bai greeted Fu Xing and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Fu Xing said angrily: "At the beginning, the assassin of Na Bingzhou sent people to come to the battalions with arrows to ask for soldiers, because it was said that you gave the arrows, and we couldn't object. Later, they went to our private barracks to ask for soldiers. The soldiers did not bite them, but they did not want to kill several people in a row on the pretext of not obeying orders. ”
The soldiers were immediately furious, divided the bodies of the murderers, and surrounded Ding Yuan together, begging for an explanation, but they were killed by the tall fierce general in a row, and the incident immediately escalated. After our two cavalry retreated to the camp, they rode on their war horses, and just after leaving the camp, they met Ding Yuan's pro-army who came to suppress them, and they became what they were just now. ”
He Bai hurriedly asked, "How many Wuhuan family soldiers died?" ”
Fu Xing sighed: "There are several who have died, and most of the recruits who rushed to the front are still new recruits. ”
