Through the previous begging for food and establishing faith, and through the body of He Xian and Zhang Zhang, he established his majesty, and after this prestige, He Bai has completely controlled the military power in the army. The next step is to establish a good relationship with more than 40 middle- and high-ranking officers in the whole army, and understand their respective temperaments and abilities.

The commanding ability and command ability of each military general are all virtual, invisible and intangible, and only through long-term contact and actual combat in the future can He Bai faintly judge everyone. The ability to command cannot be quickly understood, but the value of force can be quickly ascertained.

And as a martial artist, the way to deepen the relationship is naturally to meet friends with martial arts. In ancient times, the army has always been dull, except for some privileges of the main general, most of the upper and lower people lack entertainment programs. So after the daily intensive training, He Bai summoned all the officers to show a one-on-one martial arts performance in front of the whole army.

The Han army likes to hear about the fierce generals going head-to-head, but on weekdays, it is mostly between soldiers and soldiers, or between generals who command a few elite soldiers. Therefore, every heads-up can cause bursts of cheers and heated discussions among the non-commissioned officers of the whole army.

On weekdays, each general often boasts of his bravery, but there is no result in boasting. However, as long as the force is strong and weak, as long as it passes the heads-up, the whole army will be clear at a glance. He Bai saw that the heads-up performance was very popular with the soldiers, and felt that this incident could not only deepen the centripetal force of the officers and men of the whole army, but also improve the martial and strong hearts of the soldiers of the whole army.

In particular, at this time, the soldiers of the whole army rarely moved around, and mostly stayed in their own barracks, knowing only their own direct officers and not the commanders of other units of the army. It is very easy to have a situation where once the chief of the family is dead, all the chaos will occur. Heads-up can make the soldiers familiar with other commanders and easily accept their commands. He Bai then turned the heads-up in the form of a performance into a heads-up competition for the middle and senior military attaches of the whole army.

The competition is held seven times a day, and a total of 42 people, including He Bai and Zhang Zhang, including the five major military Sima, the five false Simas, the tenth military marquis, the ten military marquis and the ten tooth gate generals, participated. There will be three chances to play each, and a three-game losing streak will result in a lost chance. If they are undefeated, they will continue to fight alone until the final three single-pick kings are decided. On the last three days, the three single-player kings will also accept seven heads-up challenges from junior military attachés and non-commissioned officers.

In the course of a month, nearly 200 mixed heads-up matches came to an end. The competition finally ended with He Bai as the single-headed king of the whole army who had not tasted defeat, and He Bai also won the title of the brave champion of the whole army, and was respected by the soldiers of the whole army. The centripetal force of the soldiers of the lower army has also increased greatly because of this event, and they are closely united around the generals led by He Bai.

Through the competition, He Bai learned about the character and martial arts of his forty generals and guest general Zhang Zhang. In the whole army, only Zhang Zhang and the former army Sima Chen Kui can fight with He Bai, even if they are good generals in the army who are specially used to charge the battle alone and defend key places, they are not He Bai's opponents. You have to have more than two generals join forces to be able to compete with He Bai on horseback.

And through the big competition, He Bai himself has also gained a lot, not only has his martial arts knowledge expanded, but his marksmanship has also progressed very quickly. In the end, it was not much inferior to Han Rong. Faintly, the "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Gun" in the marksmanship is also faintly traced.

It's just that He Bai has always thought that Han Rong's marksmanship is too heavy and too rigid. I was afraid that I would make a mistake in the end, and it would not be easy to change it, so I didn't really gather the hundred moves into one formula to form a "hundred birds and phoenix style". Let's wait until Zhao Yun is summoned.

After the successful conclusion of the big competition, He Bai ordered someone to take 1,000 stones of pure liquor produced and stored in Luoyang Mansion this month, and used it for a banquet for the soldiers and soldiers. After the soldiers of the army were rewarded by He Bai's "Magi Wine", their loyalty immediately soared. You need to know that this is a "Magi wine", it is rumored that it is difficult to find a stone of high-end wine, only the Magi can drink a famous wine, I didn't expect He Bai to use it to reward the soldiers under his command, and the soldiers were all moved by He Bai's attention.

On this day, He Bai was in the army to see things, and suddenly a guest came to the army to pay a respect, saying: "Lord, there is Huang Zhong, a native of Nanyang Mountain, and the word Han Uncle came to visit the Luoyang Mansion, claiming to be called by the lord......

"Uncle Huang Zhongzi? Isn't it called Huang Hansheng? He Bai asked with some astonishment. But when he thought that Guan Yu called both Guan Yunchang and Guan Changsheng suddenly came to his senses, it must have been a mistake in his memory. Or it was renamed Hansheng because he helped Liu Bei obtain Hanzhong.

Originally, when He Bai was about to leave Taiyuan to go to Beijing, he sent dozens of people to the hometown of the fierce general strategist who knew his own address in history but was not famous at this time to find their traces, hoping to build a good relationship first. However, after the destruction of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, most of the fierce generals and strategists were not at home, or many of them held official positions, so many people ran away in vain.

In terms of fierce generals: Zhao Yun has not returned from his studies; Tai Shi Ci went to Liaodong; Gan Ning could not be found; Xu Chu Jianwu defended himself, and it was impossible to summon him without breaking the yellow scarf; Lejin wandered in the rivers and lakes, and Yu Ban didn't know where to be a soldier; Yan Liangwen Chou served as a military Sima in Julu, Zhang Jaw served as a military Sima in Wei County, and Gao Ran served as a military Sima in Bohai State, all of which were not summoned by He Bai.

In terms of ministers: Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai were not in Yingchuan due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion; Cheng Yu closed his book and read and ignored He Bai's messenger; Tian Feng is nowhere to be found; frustrated and high in Jizhou, don't drive; Jiangdong Erzhang thinks very highly of himself, and has a wide range of wealth in Xuzhou, and he also looks down on He Bai, who was unknown at that time.

Even if a few suspected first-class generals have been found, they are only the same name. I didn't think that after more than half a year, there was another old Huang Zhong. He Bai was both happy and worried when he heard it, for fear that he would find the wrong person again.

He Bai rode his horse all the way towards Luoyang City, while asking about Huang Zhong's details. According to the guests, Huang Zhong was recruited by a soldier from the He Bai family from Changshan Lingshou. He was about forty years old, with a simple face, but he was tall, more than half eight feet. When he was young, he served as an officer in the army in Wancheng, Nanyang, and later asked the Yellow Turban Thief to accumulate merit to a hundred generals. When Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie took office, he was promoted to the post of Marquis of Nanyang County.

In the third year of Zhongping, Huang Zhong's beloved wife unfortunately passed away, and the child was sick and unattended for many years, so he was discharged from the army for some reason. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ci, a Jiangxia soldier, made a rebellion and attacked and killed Qin Jie, so Huang Zhong has been living at home to take care of the children and has not recovered. Two months ago, I was fortunate to find He Bai's soldiers.

The soldier was also clever, and seeing that Huang Zhong's son had been ill for many years and could not be cured, he invited Huang Zhong to Beijing to find He Bai. With He Bai's reputation in Beijing at this time, it was not a problem to find some famous doctors and even imperial doctors for Huang Zhong's son. Huang Zhong came with a heart at this time.

When He Bai heard this, he was immediately sure that this person was Huang Zhong and Huang Han in history, no, he should be called Uncle Huang Han now.

Riding his horse all the way, he finally returned to Luoyang City, and as soon as he entered the mansion, He Bai asked loudly: "Where is Uncle Huang Han, quickly lead me to find him." ”

Immediately, a maidservant girl came to lead He Bai forward, and Huang Zhong was arranged in an independent courtyard by Gongsun Fu because the whole family came. As soon as He Bai entered the small courtyard, a tall and generous man of about forty came out of the room when he heard the sound.

He Bai saw that his breath was restrained, his face was yellow, his back was slightly hunched, and his expression was sad, and his heart suddenly chuckled, could this person be really Huang Zhong? But everyone is here, and He Bai can't be rude. And in order to ensure that his reputation for benevolence and righteousness is not fading, even if this person is just an ordinary person, He Bai has to help him.

He Bai took a few steps forward, and asked with a smile on his face: "I don't know if Your Excellency is Uncle Huang Han of Nanyang, and He Tianming is polite." ”

The honest man immediately hurriedly bowed and said, "I am Huang Zhong, a native of Nanyang Mountain, and Huang Zhong is here to meet He Junhou." ”

He Bai laughed and stepped forward to help Huang Zhong and said: "In the first year of Zhongping, I heard that there was a sharpshooter named Huang Zhong among the soldiers of Nanyang County, and his archery skills were very superb. Therefore, after I took office as the governor of Taiyuan, I wanted to ask your Excellency to become my general, so I took the liberty of sending someone to invite me. I didn't expect to look for Your Excellency for more than half a year before I found Your Excellency. I am very fortunate. ”

Huang Zhong bowed again: "Thank you He Junhou for his praise, Huang Zhong was just a talented official back then, and he practiced archery for many years, so he was quite accurate." Yang Youji's divine archery technique is a genius, and it is not comparable to Huang Zhong. ”

As soon as He Bai heard Huang Zhong say that his archery skills were accurate, coupled with his tall stature and strong arms, his strength and martial arts must not be bad. In addition, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and his manners are polite, and he is by no means an ordinary person with the same name, it seems that it is him. Of course, famous generals look more at his ability to command troops and operations, rather than at his martial arts. It is necessary to know that ten fierce Xu Zhu, who have similar martial arts, are not as good as an old Huang Zhong. Huang Zhongqiang is strong in his ability to command and command.

Regarding Huang Zhong's modesty, He Bai didn't say much. Because what Huang Zhong cares about at this time is not the importance that others attach to him, but the concern for his son's serious illness. He Bai then asked, "I heard that Your Excellency's son is sick and will not recover for several years, so I wonder if I can go and investigate?" When you know your condition, you can hire a famous doctor for your son. ”

"Okay, okay, please come to the room of Marquis He."

Huang Zhong led He Bai into the room, only to see that there was a servant girl from He Mansion taking care of a twelve or thirteen-year-old smirking demented child in the room. Even in the later generations when medicine is relatively advanced, such dementia children cannot be cured. And it seems that the body here is not fertile, otherwise, Huang Zhong would not be recorded in history.
