In August of the first year of Zhaoning, the emperor said that because he was not virtuous in the world, he lost the national jade seal. In September, Chan was located in the virtuous emperor's younger brother Chen Liuwang Xie, and ordered Taifu Yuan Kui and Xiangguo Dong Zhuo to assist him and change the Yuan Yonghan. In November, the emperor toured Qingzhou and ate in Donglai. And with Lu Zhi as the prime minister, he resigned the emperor and was demoted to the king of Donglaiyi. Book of the Later Han Dynasty by Cai Yong

He Bai led the troops to Beihai and took the road of Chenliu-Liang-Pei-Donghai-Langya-Beihai, obviously because this road was too peaceful and easy to walk, but secretly it was for the future to go south to Xu Yang to investigate the road topography along the way.

At this time, Qingzhou and Yanzhou yellow scarves in the north of Xuzhou rose one after another, but Xuzhou was relatively peaceful. Since Tao Qian defeated the Yellow Turban thieves in Xuzhou last year, Chen Deng has been appointed as the captain of the agricultural school and has implemented tuntian in Xuzhou. In a short period of time, Xuzhou's agricultural production has been greatly restored and developed, the people in the state are rich, and the grain and rice are full of granaries.

He Bai felt that at this time, before the world was in chaos, if he was friendly with the civil and military forces of Xuzhou, it would be extremely beneficial for the general to come from the rule that was already in Qingzhou. Therefore, when He Bai passed through Xuzhou, he not only ordered all the officers and soldiers of the army to strictly maintain military discipline and abide by the eight disciplines of the army in later generations, but also showed his most powerful and approachable side to the people of Xuzhou. After the people of Xuzhou saw the military appearance and military discipline of the lower army, they were all deeply impressed by the majestic posture of the lower army.

After that, He Bai asked to stay in Xuzhou for the time being to reorganize the army, deliberately made friends with Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, made friends with Xuzhou's wealthy Mi Zhu, and discussed friendship with Xuzhou Danyang generals Cao Bao, Xu Tan, Lu You, etc. He also consulted Chen Deng, Wang Lang, Zhao Yu and other famous people in Xuzhou for advice on governing the county, and even asked Zang Ba and Sun Guan, the generals of Taishan refugees, about the tactics of fighting against the Yellow Turbans.

Today's He Bai can be regarded as a famous celebrity in the world, in the deliberate knuckle corporal, condescending to the exchange of people, Xuzhou civil and military are very close to He Bai. Tao Qian believes that He Bai is a natural ally; Mi Zhu and other officials believed that He Bai had the appearance of a hero. He also believed that He Bai's talent and insights were unique, and his character and virtue were highly appreciated. Especially the attitude towards the people, if there are human parents, the future Beihai Kingdom will definitely be ruled greatly.

It seems that He Bai went to Luoyang in Beijing to recuperate for half a year, and he still gained a lot. In particular, the Chen family in Xiapi was the first of the three princes of the Han Dynasty who were on an equal footing with the Yuan family, and the Chen family was a big guard at that time. Chen Jue, Chen Deng's father and son can be friends with He Bai on an equal footing, and if He Bai is in charge of Xuzhou in the future, it will not arouse the disgust of the Xuzhou scholars.

Zang Ba, a relatively independent cavalry commander in Xuzhou, also thought that He Bai's ability was not lost, and because He Bai's official position was slightly higher, he had already become famous all over the world, and he was one year older, so he led the generals of Mount Tai to be brothers. There are so many forces that agree with He Bai, and if Tao Qian has something to do in the future, He Bai is only afraid that he will be able to easily take Xuzhou into his pocket.

When he didn't have a relationship with Tao Qian, He Bai still thought that Tao Qian was a good man as in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After intersecting for a while, He Bai knew that Tao Qian was a strong and domineering person, and his governance of Xuzhou was quite harsh. But fortunately, it is not a harsh type, but the means are tough and not friendly with the Xuzhou scholars, and the relationship with the Xuzhou scholars is relatively tense, which is somewhat dictatorial.

Because of its own extremely strong military strength, there are 15,000 Danyang elite soldiers of the three armies as private soldiers. Coupled with the original army of the Imperial Court, as well as its personal prestige, official career, combat achievements, and strong integration ability, all the forces in Xuzhou can be integrated together, and there is a faint situation of separating one side.

It is said that the pioneers who secretly divided one side with the body of the state pastor and assassin history are not Liu Yan of Yizhou and Tao Qian of Xuzhou. Even if it is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and others, it will be two years late.

It is precisely because of Tao Qian's domineering and tense relationship with the Xuzhou scholars that Zhang Zhao was rejected by Zhang Zhao when he was promoted to Maocai not long ago. Tao Qian thought that Zhang Zhao despised him, so he imprisoned Zhang Zhao. It happened that He Bai had just arrived, and he and Zhang Zhao's friend Zhao Yu rescued each other, and they were released.

He Bai vigorously invited Zhang Zhao to go to Beihai for refuge, and Zhang Zhao also wanted to see how effective He Bai's concept of governing the county was, so he decided to go to Beihai to live temporarily. At this point, He Bai led the army to the Beihai Kingdom with satisfaction.

Passing through Langya, he said goodbye to Zang Ba, who was stationed in Langya. All the way to Yangdu, He Bai suddenly thought that Zhuge Liang seemed to be from Yangdu. Although he is still young, it is not bad to have a good relationship with him.

So he ordered someone to ask where the mansion of Yangdu Zhuge was, but he didn't want to learn that Zhuge Liang's father, Zhuge Liang, had unfortunately passed away the year before last. Mother Zhang died a step earlier, and now there is only one adult in the Zhuge family, a stepmother. Zhuge Jin, the eldest of the juniors, has just turned fifteen years old, and Zhuge Liang is only eight years old.

Zhuge Liang's own uncle Zhuge Xuan is now studying in all directions, and he is nowhere to be found, and no one can take care of them. At this time, Zhuge Liang's family of six was in a situation where they were sitting on empty mountains and had no one to rely on. He Bai is overjoyed, isn't this just God helping me? Immediately prepared a generous gift and went to visit Zhuge 's house.

After Yangdu Zhuge was the captain of the Han Division, Zhuge Liang was probably a concubine, so he did not live in the ancestral counties, but moved to Yangdu County separately. But even so, his family can be regarded as a famous family, but by the time of Zhuge Liang's father Zhuge Jue's generation, it has obviously declined.

When Zhuge Jue, the former head of the Yangdu Zhuge clan, died, he was only a county prince. Therefore, He Bai, the new minister of Beihai and the Marquis of Longchi, came to visit, and Zhuge Jin, who was the head of the small family, suddenly panicked and didn't know what to do.

Zhuge Liang, who was still young and shrewd, came out to persuade: "The minister of Beihai is not my minister of Langya, and there is no adult in my family, so I came to my house for official business, and it must be because of the old relationship with my family, so I came to visit." ”

However, the presence of high-ranking officials in the middle of the two thousand stones came to pay a visit, which still made Zhuge Jin, who was entertaining guests as the head of the family for the first time, nervous. He Bai had to gently persuade: "Your family and my family have great kindness, I am here to repay the kindness, but I am not here to visit as an official, I hope Ah Jin you don't have to be afraid." ”

Zhuge Jin couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "I don't know what kindness my family has with the townspeople of Longchi?" ”

He Bai had already thought about it when he came, Zhuge Liang was a famous talent that had been passed down through the ages, Zhuge Jin was also a talent of the Three Princes, even the youngest Zhuge Jun was also a talent of the county guard, and it was better for him to take the opportunity to abduct early. However, if he has no relationship with the Zhuge clan and has no reason, he is afraid that he will not be able to abduct him easily.

You must know that everyone in the world has no merit and no luck, and they are ashamed to be rewarded, even if they are old friends, they are afraid that it is not easy for Zhuge to take refuge in themselves. Only by repaying the favor can Zhuge accept his own kindness easily.

He Bai then pretended to say: "When I was young, I passed by Yangdu with my father, but unfortunately I suddenly fell seriously ill, and I had no money left for diagnosis and treatment, so I almost died. Fortunately, with the mercy of the Zhuge clan, Qian saved me from danger. Such a great grace for life is something I will never forget. Now that I am developed, but the Zhuge clan is unfortunately lost, and you and other sons have a difficult life, and no one cares for them, isn't this the time for me to repay my kindness? I want to take you and the others to Beihai Country for support, and then return to Yangdu when I am an adult, I don't know what you think, Ah Jin? ”

When Zhuge Jin heard this, it turned out that he had a great favor to He Bai, and He Bai came to repay the favor this time, so Zhuge Jin lost his initial nervousness. It's just that for the future under He Bai's wings, although Zhuge Jin is the head of the small family, it is still difficult to make a decision for a while, and he looks at Zhuge Liang who is standing beside him.

He Bai saw Zhuge Jin hesitating, so he persuaded: "Ah Jin is not young now, it is a good time to apprentice to study, Beihai has a great Confucian Zheng Kangcheng here, I am the minister of Beihai, if I recommend Ah Jin as a disciple, I think he will give me a little face." When Ah Liang is older, I can also recommend Ah Liang to go. In the future, when you become an adult, I will raise you again as filial piety, and it will be much easier for you to become an official. ”

Zheng Kang became famous Zheng Xuan, and he was a more powerful grandmaster than Cai Yong. If Cai Yong is said to be the second in the world, the first is definitely Zheng Xuan. At that time, he not only collected the culmination of ancient literature and classics, but also integrated ancient and modern texts into one furnace, and created a new school - Zheng Xue. Now it has gradually become the "sect of the world" Confucianism.

can have Zheng Xuan as a teacher, even Zhuge Liang, who has been astute since childhood, has a heartbeat. Zhuge Jin saw Zhuge Liang's heart-warming eyes, and immediately responded to He Bai's invitation, and decided to temporarily take refuge under He Bai's wing and go to Beihai to live.

He Bai's trip to Xuzhou can be described as a great harvest. is just a direct benefit, and he has won domestic affairs talents like Zhang Zhao. The three brothers Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Jun are long-term stable earnings and no loss of emotional investment. And the other civil-military relations in Xuzhou are even more risk-free investment with small fights.

He Bai was able to get so much income in a short period of time, in addition to the relationship as a traverser, it was to become famous in Luoyang, the capital teacher. If He Bai is still a martial artist image at this time, he is afraid that in another five years, it will be difficult to get so much income.

After receiving the Zhuge family, He Bai led his troops north again. After coming to Zhuxian, the forward Chen Kui sent a herald to report back: "Report, captain, Chen Sima of the front battalion came to report, there are hundreds of soldiers blocking the road in front, and the leader claims to be Gaomi Zheng Xuan. ”

He Bai was overjoyed when he heard this, and not long ago he said that Zheng Xuan, how did he meet Zheng Xuan here. He Bai didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led He Xian and several others to ride forward to pay a visit. When I came to the front army, I saw that on the side of the hill not far ahead, there were two or three hundred soldiers walking around an ox cart, and an old man in his early sixties was standing on top of the ox cart and watching.

He Bai ran all the way until fifty steps away from the ox cart, then he jumped off his horse, and trotted all the way and shouted: "The one ahead is Mr. Zheng Kangcheng Zheng, who came to meet him in Xiahe Tianming." ”
