Guan Hai followed Zhou Tai's guidance and came to the Beihai Prime Minister's Mansion to meet He Bai. Guan Hai bowed deeply to He Bai, and He Bai asked with a smile: "Recently, I went around Beihai, how does this feel?" ”

Guan Hai said angrily: "The people of Beihai Country have a good complexion, and their joy is no less than the good years of the past. The country's highways are smooth, the rivers are clear, there is an endless stream of children enrolled in schools, and the free clinics in government-run hospitals are overcrowded. The emerging state of prosperity in Beihai is a source of rejoicing. ”

He Bai laughed and said, "Such a crepe word is not as good as what a rough person like you can say. ”

Guan Hai said angrily: "Although I listened to what others said, the villain also agreed very much, so I wrote it down." ”

He Bai smiled and asked, "How much is Beihai different from the peaceful world in your heart?" ”

Guan Hai nodded, shook his head again, and said, "The villain doesn't know either, so it's almost the same." ”

He Bai asked again: "Then do you think that if you and Zhang Rao defeat Beihai and Donglai, you may be able to govern the two counties like this." ”

Guan Hai bowed ashamedly: "The villain is afraid that he can't, and it is extremely difficult to make the people eat enough." ”

He Bai sighed: "Yes, although you and the Yellow Turban Army have the heart to change the predicament, they have no ability to govern the world, so not long after the incident, they were jointly exterminated by many parties. Since I came to Beihai and Lu Gong went to Donglai, it is time for you to return to good and live with peace of mind. Instead of clinging to the riots, it has made the people of both countries more and more miserable. ”

Guan Haibai said: "Or if Prime Minister He can come to Beihai and Donglai as soon as possible, why should Brother Zhang and I make trouble again after the defeat of the Yellow Turban." Now that the minister of the country is here, I have no heart to riot. ”

He Bai said: "In this case, you can serve under my command, which can be regarded as atonement for some of the previous riots." ”

Guan Hai bowed to the ground and said, "Oh, the lord is above, please accept the villain Guan Hai to see you." ”

He Bai comforted him for a while before letting Zhou Tai lead Guan Hai to retreat. Guan Hai's command talent is average, but his martial arts are good, and he can be a fighting general. Huang Zhongwei had already considered it, Fang did not shoot it, and finally surrendered to his command today.

After many days of recruitment, an army of 20,000 was finally assembled, including 12,000 foot soldiers and 8,000 cavalry soldiers. And Lu Zhi will also lead a large army of 10,000 people tomorrow, and 10,000 people will arrive in Xixian County, and today is the last time to complete the army.

Looking at the dense soldiers in front of him, He Bai was very excited. At last, an army of 20,000 marched with his baton, and he was not yet twenty-five years old to have this great achievement, which could not have been imagined in later generations.

"Appointed Dian Wei as the second general of Chen Duwei, Tong Zhoutai, and Zhang Zhang, plus a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses from the headquarters as the vanguard of the army. Huang Zhong was appointed as the commander of Jianzhong, and the four generals of Wu Anguo, Zong Bao, Ye Xun, and Liu Zheng, plus the headquarters of a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses as the left wing. He was appointed as the lieutenant of Liyi, and the four generals of Che Jing, Du Lei, Chu Hu, and Guan Hai, plus the headquarters with a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses as the right wing. Sun Qian was appointed as the left auxiliary lieutenant, and Peng Xuan was appointed as the right lieutenant, commanding 2,000 soldiers and horses and 20,000 people to manage baggage matters and staff the military. Appoint Xu Gan as the chief ......"

On the second day, He Baiwang saw Lu Zhi leading the army to drive nearly 10,000 carts of all kinds, including pack horses, oxen, mules, and donkeys, and almost all the driving animals that could be recruited from Donglai Middle School. This chaotic scene made He Bai shake his head, and he didn't know how Lu Zhi did it.

He Bai thought about it, the sour jujube is close to the Yellow River and Jishui, thousands of miles away from the North Sea, and it is very inconvenient to use manual words, so it is better to transport it by boat. The ship can carry 300 catties of goods in one material, and the 1,000 material ship (150 tons) can carry 4,000 stone of grain at a time according to the full load capacity of 80 percent, excluding 50 boatmen and necessary items. Its own navy can transport 100,000 stone of grain at a time, and it can be transported all in two or three trips.

In the end, he discussed with Lu Zhi that all these materials could be left in Beihai, and Guan Cheng and Jiang Qiner would take turns to drive boats from the Yellow River and Jishui to Suojube. The army carried only the daily necessities such as camp tents and five days' rations, and traveled lightly along the Jishui River.

Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Zhi and He Bai joined the army, and swore in Xixian County to march westward towards Guangxian County of Qi State. Guangxian is the location of the Qingzhou Thorn History Department, which is a famous base for iron production and weapons production, and is only more than 100 miles away from the county.

A month ago, He Bai ordered people to buy 20,000 sets of weapons here, spending more than 100 million yuan. I didn't want Lu Zhi to come, but I just discussed with the officials of the Qingzhou Thorn History Department, and immediately got a response from the officials, and they got 20,000 sets of brand-new weapons and equipment, and 3,000 good iron armor.

This made He Bai frightened, not to mention the weapon, this iron armor and crossbow are the important weapons of the country, and the three thousand collar iron armor actually said that they would give it. At present, only the 2,000 regular soldiers of the lower army are all armored, and the rest can only be worn by the military marquis and above. It can be seen that this Lu Zhi is too capable.

And there are as many as tens of thousands of craftsmen in Guangxian County, which is completely a city of craftsmen. All kinds of weapons that can produce 50,000 troops a year also make He Bai's eyes hot. But when he thought that he would be under his rule in a year or two, He Bai was relieved again.

Later, I learned that this was not Lu Zhi's personal fame, but the new assassin Shi Jiaohe, who was about to come to Qingzhou to take office, also intended to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and he had contact with Lu Zhi early. Therefore, after Lu Zhi took out Jiao He's letter, he let the officials of the Qingzhou Thorn History Department open the door.

After all the soldiers of Donglai County were replaced, the remaining 10,000 sets of spare weapons were also transported back to Beihai and will be transported by the fleet to Suojube, and then the army will march westward again. This road is the road of Qiguo, Jinan, Jibei, Dongjun, Jiyin, and Chenliu, and the distance is more than 1,300 miles. Before leaving the Qi country, Lu Zhi sighed:

"In Beihai, it is possible to travel 100 miles a day, but in Donglai and Qi countries, it can only travel 60 miles a day, and the quality of this road and the speed of the march are too great. The straight roads and galloping roads built in the pre-Qin period were sometimes blamed as one of the tyranny of the first emperor. However, during the two Han Dynasty, they benefited from this tyranny and prosperity for hundreds of years, and it cannot be said that they were greatly influenced by the Qin State. Tianming built a straight road in Beihai, and the revival of this government does not harm the people, which cannot be said to be a clear sight. ”

He Bai said modestly: "Lu Gong has won the award, He Bai still has many shortcomings, and I want to ask Lu Gong for advice." ”

Lu Zhi shook his voice and sighed: "I have also served two terms of Taishou, but none of them have been successful except for the basic dedication to duty. I think that I can't teach Tianming anything except that I am full of useless knowledge. ”

He Bai said with a smile: "Now I can fulfill my duties, be conscientious, love the people and cherish the people, even if it is good, I dare to look forward to other ......"

Lu Zhi was about to answer, but suddenly a scout came to report, "Report, Minister of State, there is a person who claims to be the righteous brother of the Minister of State, Zhang Liao, who leads thousands of troops to come to meet him." ”

He Bai was overjoyed, Zhang Liao came, Nima, and thought that at least he would not be able to get Zhang Liao's surrender until Lu Bu was poor, but he didn't want to get Zhang Liao's defection before the battle against Dong. He Bai was overjoyed and didn't have time to say anything to Lu Zhi, so he immediately hit his horse to greet him.

Seeing Zhang Liao's slightly purple-red face from a distance, He Bai shouted excitedly: "Wenyuan, Wenyuan, I want to mess with my foolish brother." ”

Zhang Liao, who was originally nervous and didn't know whether He Bai would accept it, saw He Bai so excited and excited, and immediately felt relieved, and also ran forward with excitement on his face, shouting: "Brother......"

When he came closer, He Bai hugged Zhang Liao, slapped him for a while, and asked with a smile: "I think of Wenyuan, like looking through the autumn water, why Wenyuan is here at this time." ”

Zhang Liao said embarrassedly: "When I returned from Hebei in September, my brother had already gone to Beihai to take up his post. Because I didn't know the situation in the Jingshi, I got my brother's letter and didn't respond in time for a while. Later, Uncle Zhang Zhi saw Dong Zhuo's tyranny and abandoned the army to join the party, and I was saved by Lu Fengxian, and I couldn't make it for a while. It wasn't until now that the world's heroes were crusading against Dong Zhuo, and I took the opportunity to investigate the enemy's situation, broke away from Dong Zhuo's command, and came to Qingzhou to join my brother. ”

He Bai was overjoyed that he was able to choose his righteous brother between his idol Lu Bu and his own righteous brother, and this Zhang Liao must have made a difficult choice among them. He Bai couldn't help but loudly praise Zhang Liao for being wise, and not being in the same league with people like Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu who harm the country and the people, which strengthened Zhang Liao's heart even more.

He Bai introduced Zhang Liao to Dian Wei and Huang Zhong again, and said: "This one is my brother Dian Wei who taught me martial arts and allowed me to gain a foothold in the world, and this one is Huang Zhong who is a subordinate and is really a good general." The martial arts ability of these two people is not inferior to Lu Bu, and their morality is better than Lu Bu. Wen Yuan is extraordinary, and if you intersect with it, you will have something. ”

Zhang Liao looked at Dian Wei and saw that Dian Wei was burly, his arms were thick and strong, a pair of iron halberds were even heavier, and more than a dozen small halberds were inserted on his back, knowing that he must be a warrior. However, a pair of tiger eyes are not only not fierce, but even more gentle like water. The momentum is restrained and unassuming, as if he has reached the realm of a grandmaster who receives and receives in his heart. Even if it is not as good as Lu Bu, it will not be much inferior.

Look at Huang Zhong again, his face is simple, his momentum is dignified, but he is tall, his hands are rough, and he is calloused, a golden knife is shining with cold light, carrying a three-stone treasure bow, and dozens of carved feathers hanging from his waist, he must be a fierce general who can fight and shoot well. Zhang Liao couldn't help but gasp, he didn't think that He Bai had two fierce generals under his command who were not much inferior to Lu Bu. When he saw Zhou Tai, Guan Hai and other generals again, Zhang Liao was even more shocked, He Bai, the righteous brother, was really talented and talented, so he could get so many warriors. It's the right place to be.

He Bai even pulled out the jujube red horses that Zhang Liao had prepared for a long time, and personally sorted out the saddle for Zhang Liao, and presented the fine iron armor to help wear it, which moved Zhang Liao to tears. If you have a brother like this, how can you not let yourself die and repay you.

He Bai appointed Zhang Liao as the lieutenant of the auxiliary Zhengdu, led the headquarters of 1,000 people as the rear army, and assisted Sun Qian and Peng Xuan to manage the 2,000 soldiers and horses of the rear army, so the army moved forward again. There was nothing wrong all the way, and when I came to Chenliu County, another scout came to report.

"Report, Minister of State, there are more than 100 people from the Chun Yu Qiong clan who claim to be the old man of Luoyang."

He Bai was stunned when he heard this, Chun Yuqiong, why did he come, isn't he better with Yuan Shao? After He Bai confessed to Lu Zhi, he went to greet him with confusion. As soon as he saw Chun Yuqiong, he didn't wait to speak, Chun Yuqiong laughed and shouted: "Tianming, you hurt me, without your Magi wine, you told me to can't sleep day and night, it's very uncomfortable, quickly, take the wine and let me drink it, to relieve the hangover worm." ”

He Bai couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he didn't expect that there would really be people who voted for wine. So he turned around and shouted: "Come, quickly take the Ten Skins Magi Wine and Chunyu Zhongjian, and let him get drunk to death." ”

Chun Yuqiong rubbed her hands happily, and after taking a leather bag, she opened it in a hurry and drank it fiercely. After five or six catties of wine in a skin, he burped with a satisfied face. He bowed his hand and said: "Tianming, I am alone to vote, I don't know if you are willing to accept it?" ”
