Chapter Ninety-Five: Dealing with Karma

A strong man in his thirties, who was about 1.8 meters tall, was held to the ground by four soldiers and knelt in front of He Bai. Everyone in the Kahu is yellow and thin, but the person in front of him is horizontally developed, very large, and his two arms are full of explosive power, and he knows at a glance that he is a brave warrior.

However, He Bai was not half interested in this person, and he provoked a riot, and he was never a peaceful person. They are fair, helpful, and highly prestigious, and are natural leaders in the community.

However, he was a talent in this weak Qianhu clan, which had to make He Bai very disgusted with him. The people of Kahu have no leader, and if they are united by this man, it will not be a great disadvantage under their own command. Therefore, He Bai didn't look at this person, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Drag it out and cut it, send it to do something." ”

Cheng Qi immediately stepped forward and prepared to be beheaded. When the strong man heard this, he was terrified, his head was raised desperately, and he struggled vigorously, shouting: "The noble man from Taiyuan, the villain led the riot just to get free, not to hurt the nobleman, and I hope that the nobleman will see and spare the villain's life." ”

"Huh?" Han Rong, who was standing beside He Bai, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this person's face. He Bai waved his hand, and the four soldiers who were dragging backwards had to pause and press the name of the man again. He Bai asked, "Does Old Han know this person?" ”

Han Rong nodded and said, "The old man has been in the party for a long time, and I heard that there is a sharpshooter among the Qianhu people, named Ye Xun, who can penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, which is very powerful. I once accidentally saw one side of it, so I had some impressions. This man is none other than Yesun. ”

The strong man immediately shouted: "The villain is none other than Ye Xun, and the villain's archery skills are unrivaled in the clan. Even if it is a Han person who is in the party, he can't find an archer who can defeat the villain. If a noble person wants to make a meritorious career, he must have archers such as villains. The villain is willing to surrender to the nobleman in order to serve the work of dogs and horses, and hopes that the nobleman can spare the villain's life. ”

He Bai ignored Ye Xun's name, and waved his hand again: "Since Han Lao has nothing to do with him, then drag it down and cut it." ”

Cheng Qi immediately stepped forward to help the soldiers drag away Yege, who was stunned and struggling, Han Rong couldn't help but ask curiously: "Lord, this Ye Xun's archery skills are indeed powerful, even if the old man is unprepared, he will not be able to escape his cold arrows." Although today's events shocked the lord, fortunately there was no hindrance. If this Ye Xun is willing to submit, why is the lord still ......?"

He Bai shook his head and said, "If it is not my race, its heart will be different. If I want to subjugate the Kahu, I must remove the prestige from the Kahu. Otherwise, will the people of the Karma have a leader in the future, or they may turn their backs on me when I am weak? ”

At this time, He Bai's heart couldn't help but think of An Lushan in the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong's trust in him can be said to be extreme, and the power of the soldiers and horses in northern China is in his hands, but he still can't get his loyalty.

Han Rong was silent after hearing this, just because he had first voted for He Bai and didn't know He Bai's temperament, so he didn't want to admonish He Bai for someone who had only seen one face.

Only Luo Pei persuaded on the side: "Lord, this time the Qianghu people are specially dedicated to Ye Xun in order to protect themselves, and Ye Xun must hate him deeply in his heart." This time, whether Ye Xun lives or not, it is difficult to be united with other Karma people. The lord often says that there is a lack of good generals under his command, so why not forgive him and use it temporarily......"

He Bai nodded slightly after hearing this, no matter who it is, if he is betrayed by someone of the same clan, he will hate his clan to death. Even if Yesun didn't die, he wouldn't have any more dealings with the other Kahus. After all, there are very few broad-minded people in the world, and there is no such male lord as there is currently such a male lord. Let's spare his life.

He Bai said: "Luo Pei, go and see if he is dead." If you don't die, bring it back. ”

Luo Peiying was out of the account, and after a while, he brought back Ye Xun. He Bai snorted coldly and said to Ye Xun: "I see that the life of the Ru Qianhu people is difficult, and it is not easy to survive, so I want to support you and others, so that you and others will not be troubled and bullied. I don't want you, a cheap slave, to be ignorant of what to do, and for the sake of your own freedom, you led the crowd to attack me, which made my kindness disgusting. If it is not for the additional advice, it may be useful to you one day in the future; I also thought that human life is not small, and it is not easy to kill indiscriminately, and today I must behead you, a cheap slave. ”

Ye Xun didn't dare to say anything about service this time, so he knelt on the ground and prayed: "It turns out that the noble man is Lord Taiyuan Duwei, please forgive the ignorance of the servant, and I thought that Lord Duwei had other intentions, so I thought of fleeing under fear." The proclamation sent by Lord Duwei has also been seen, but how can there be such a kind and loving nobleman among the Han people. Therefore the servant was suspicious and did not believe easily. Today, Lord Commander was willing to forgive the servants who gathered the crowd to cause rebellion, and the servants completely believed in the benevolence of Lord Commander. ”

He Bai was stunned, yes, he forgave Ye Xun this time, not only expressed his broad-mindedness to the outside world, but also gained a magic archer, and also made the other skeptical people believe in themselves completely, which is of great benefit to future management. It seems that Fang Cai's decision is not bad.

If he had killed Ye Xun just now, then the above three benefits would have been nothing. On the contrary, he will get a reputation for being narrow-minded and retributive. Even the other Kahu people are still terrified and unmanaged.

He Bai snorted coldly and said, "My benevolence is not for you alone, but for all the people I come into contact with. Although you have to live this time, you will be punished if you make mistakes, otherwise you will think that I have only benevolence but no prestige. Gather them, take them away, and whip them with twenty lashes as punishment. ”

Cheng Qi took Ye Xun away again, and soon heard the sound of whipping meat outside the tent, and did not hear the sound of screaming. It seems that although this Ye Xun begged for mercy, he was not a weak person, but he could be used.

After Ye Xun entered the account again, he bowed down to He Bai and shouted, "Thank you for the grace of your master's life." ”

He Bai saw that although he gave in in his mouth, he was afraid that he would not be convinced. After all, no one wants to be a slave of others who are free and easy on a daily basis. Even if it was for the sake of his life, it was a temporary surrender. To deal with people like Ye Xun, you can't be too polite to him like a Han general, and you need to dispel his unruly temperament before it can be used.

He Bai said again: "Since you call me as a master, I will treat you as a servant." Cheng Qi, take him down to recuperate first, and after his injuries are healed, then come to lead the horse and hold the whip for me to make the upper and lower horse stones. ”

After Cheng Qi took Ye Xun away, He Bai said to Luo Pei: "Since Qianhu has entered the military camp, he should be bound by military law, how can he be allowed to live in a mixed and scattered manner and connect freely?" ”

Luo Pei bowed ashamedly: "My subordinates are not good at managing things, so they are negligent." ”

He Bai nodded and said: "People have strengths and weaknesses, there are very few people who are all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and this time it is also because of my mistake in employing people, I can't blame you." After a pause, He Bai said again: "There are currently six or seven thousand people in Qianhu, and I think it will decrease day by day. I see that the people of Kahu are dressed in tatters and thin, have you ever ordered someone to buy some thick clothes? ”

Luo Pei shook his head with a red face and said, "This ...... Subordinates do not. ”

He Bai said: "You quickly send people to Qi County and Shangdang Nie County, and be sure to buy 10,000 sets of thick clothes." If there is no ready-to-wear garment, buy some cloth, kapok and needle and thread, and make it homemade by the karni. The slaves are dirty, and in order to prevent epidemics, tomorrow they will be cleaned by men and women. In the future, like Hermes-Epitek, I will wash every three days and bathe every five days. Buy some pigs and sheep to come back and add food, and soon they will have to walk thousands of miles to Changshan and Zhongshan, which requires strength. ”

In addition, the slaves were guaranteed by ten households, five by one and one by one, and by ten by one, and each of them was managed and supervised by Han private soldiers. After they have reached Changshan, they will be scattered and dwell, so that they will not have a time to gather......"

He Bai said more than ten management matters, and Luo Pei wrote them down one by one before giving up. With these management methods taught by He Bai, Luo Pei could easily lead the slave to Jinyang City. When the time comes to hand over to Cheng Zhang, who is preparing for the migration work, there will be no such thing as Luo Pei.

He Bai rested in the barracks for the night, and early the next morning, he rode towards Jinyang City. Halfway through, he met a messenger sent by Chengzhang to come, saying that the envoy of the court had arrived in Jinyang for most of the day, and asked He Bai to return to Jinyang City immediately. He Bai and his entourage quickly stepped up and returned to Jinyang City before dark.

He Bai first returned to the Duwei's mansion, bathed under the attendant of Diao Chan, and then went to Taiyuan Taishou Mansion to meet the court envoy who temporarily lived here. The name of the court envoy is Wang Shou, who is an unknown person in history, and He Bai only saw Wang Shou who had not rested after offering a salute.

Wang Shouxiao asked: "I have heard for a long time that He Duwei is not good, and the counties and counties all over the country are blocked because of the thieves, only the roads in Taiyuan County are safe, and this is all the work of He Duwei." ”

Taiyuan Taishou, who was accompanying him, also praised He Bai, and He Bai immediately gave Taiyuan Taishou a thank you look. He Bai has cooperated happily with him in recent years, so although the two are not old friends, they also have a deep relationship.

After thanking the envoy Wang Shou for his praise, He Bai asked, "I don't know if your envoy has come to Taiyuan, but what imperial edict has come?" ”

Wang Shou nodded and said: "Yes, the court heard that Du Wei He broke several black mountain thieves in November and February last year, and captured tens of thousands of black mountain thieves. The princes of the court were very happy, and intended to change any commander to Zhongshan Taishou and specialize in black mountain thieves. However, Youzhou Mu, Rongqiu Hou, and Taiwei Liu Huangshu recommended He Duwei to go to Luoyang to serve as the councilor. In addition, General He also intended to recruit He Duwei to go to Luoyang to serve as a cavalry captain. The court has made a decision for a while, and I don't know what position the captain intends to receive? ”

After He Bai heard this, he couldn't help but exhale deeply, it seems that the former Zongzheng of the Liu family of the royal family, the Youzhou Mu and Taiwei Uncle Liu Huang at this time are still very benefactors, and this promotion alone is very valued by the court. Ordinary people are promoted, they tell you to go wherever you go, and there will be someone to ask about it.
