During the time when Chun Yuqiong called for wine and drinking, He Bai had already thought about it in his heart. Chun Yuqiong's evaluation in history is only a second-rate general, but at this time, he is a famous, capable, and highly qualified general.

Chunyu's family is not a famous family in Yingchuan, just an ordinary wealthy family, but he can rely on his own ability to achieve the position of captain of the left army, which shows that his ability is not bad. As for being forcibly broken by Cao Cao's 5,000 elites with 10,000 troops in Wuchao, I am afraid that whoever puts it in that position will be attacked and broken by Cao Cao, who is personally playing with his life.

If you want to drink and make mistakes, in the future, at most you will be constrained by strict military law, and if you can't be self-disciplined, you will be transferred to a civilian position, or you will not let him guard important places, and you will not let him become the commander of the Duzhen side.

As for the benefits, it is a great benefit to let the seniors who are also from the West Park Military Academy become subordinates. This will make other court officials come to vote when the Han family has no hope, and play a good role as a leading model. To be clear, Chun Yuqiong herself is nothing, but she is a good example of her own daughter.

He Bai laughed and dismounted and bowed: "Brother Zhong Jian is my predecessor in the Xiyuan Army, I am overjoyed if you are willing to come to join me." It's just that Brother Zhong Jian is older than me, but he doesn't dare to support him arbitrarily, so I ask Brother Zhong Jian to be my deputy general, and I will serve the military together, okay? ”

I didn't want Chun Yuqiong to throw away the wine bag, so I jumped off the horse, tidied up my clothes, and bowed with a solemn face, and said: "Now that the Han family has declined, since Yuan Benchu started the army, seeing that the world is about to be in chaos, people with lofty ideals are all looking for the Ming Lord to rely on each other, hoping to have a good result in the future." I know that Ming Gong has lofty ambitions and good talents, although he is young, he will become a great thing in the long run, so he specially led his family to rely on each other. ”

"My heart is so earnest, how dare I be self-conscious in front of Ming Gong with my qualifications and age. I also hope that Ming Gong will not be suspicious, I Chun Yuqiong is just a pawn under Ming Gong, but with the whip of the Ming Lord, Chun Yuqiong will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire. ”

He Bai looked at Chun Yuqiong in surprise, he didn't expect that the wine bags and rice bags in history also had such an awareness. But he still asked with some hesitation: "I know that Brother Zhong Jian and Yuan Benchu have a good relationship, why do you ......?"

Chun Yuqiong said proudly: "The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family in Runan, most of the Manchu Dynasty are the former officials of the Yuan family, and the friendship with him is just a request. But am I the only one who is surrounded by the people of the world? If there will be chaos today, the name of the fourth world and the three princes will not be of much use. I'm looking for the side of the Lord. ”

He Bai asked again: "I see, but Cao Mengde is also a person with lofty ambitions and talents, why does Brother Zhong Jian ......?"

Chun Yuqiong smiled and said: "I have always been familiar with these two people, Yuan Benchu is a person who is generous on the outside and jealous on the inside, likes to listen to good words, and likes to blame others, and his subordinates need to be served humbly and carefully." And Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu have been good to each other for many years, and they are similar people, and they are also people who are wide on the outside and taboo on the inside. However, although Cao Mengcao can listen to straightforward words, he is eager for quick success and quick profit, and he only talks about usefulness and uselessness in employing people, regardless of whether they are close to their relatives or their faults. Those who are useful, even if they have a great sin, use it. Those who are useless will be discarded even if they have great merit. ”

"Therefore neither of them is my master. Only Ming Gong is consistent inside and outside, wise and affectionate, I don't need to think too much under my command, just be loyal to my work. Even if he is old and useless in the future, I believe that he will be in a better situation than the servants of the He family. Therefore, he abandoned the two and defected to Ming Gong. ”

He Baichang breathed a sigh of relief, so it was so, Chun Yuqiong had been in his own house for a long time, and he had also heard of the treatment of servants and slaves in the house. As long as people in the world are not stupid, they will have a rod in their hearts, and they can judge whether they are good or bad. Chun Yuqiong, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have been colleagues for many years, and the relationship is very close, and the character of the two is naturally clear.

If you want to have a better time, you can vote for Yuan Shao, as long as you know how to flatter and pat the horse, you must be official. However, if you want to achieve great things, you can vote for Cao Cao, but when you will commit Cao Cao's taboo, you are afraid that it will be difficult to know when you die. As long as you are faithful, you can be at ease, and you don't need to have scruples, as long as you don't break the law, you basically don't need to worry about anything. Even if it is useless in the future, there will be a good guarantee.

Therefore, compared with Chun Yuqiong, although Yuan Shao has many shortcomings, his attraction is more than Cao Cao. Now that there is oneself in this life, it is definitely oneself, not others.

He Bai happily hugged Chun Yuqiong and said: "Okay, well, Zhong Jian regards me as the master, how can I regard Zhong Jian as a pawn." There is still a lack of a deputy general in the Xiyuan Army under my command, and Zhong Jian is also familiar with the Xiyuan Army, so he will temporarily serve as a deputy general. ”

Chun Yuqiong was overjoyed to call all the clansmen to bow down to He Bai, and bowed three times with ministers. At this point, the Yingchuan Chunyu clan officially became He Bai's vassals, and this was also the first well-known wealthy family to take the initiative to surrender to He Bai. It's not like the scholars who bet on a few sides, but sincerely take refuge. It seems that in the future, even if the Chun Yu clan has no talents, it can't be treated too thinly.

He Bai summoned Chun Yu and his clan to follow the army, continued to advance, and within a day, they reached the boundary of Fengqiu. Yuan Shao first heard that He Bai led the troops to come, and he was quite unhappy in his heart, and at this time, he knew that Lu Zhi also led the troops to come, and he was overjoyed, and he hurriedly invited the princes to go out to welcome Lu Zhi, a famous Confucian in the sea.

After the two sides saw the ceremony, they returned to the sour dates together, and held a big banquet to catch the wind for Lu Zhi and reunite with the alliance. Yuan Shaowang saw He Bai at the end of the banquet, and asked arrogantly: "I heard that He Tianming once promoted Dong Zhuo to the Yi Emperor Donglai King and rejected the Yuan family, why did he come to Yingmeng to crusade against Dong Zhuo now?" Such capriciousness is not the work of a gentleman. ”

If you don't know, you can't do it unless you have done it. Yuan Shao finally knew that He Bai had been making trouble in secret, causing the Yuan family to lose his authority, so he had a bad impression of He Bai, but it was just inconvenient to settle accounts at present.

He Bai said with a smile: "The Yuan clan advocated the elimination of eunuchs, but the innocent general was killed, as the nephew of the general, how could I let the Yuan clan take power proudly." It's just that unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo, who was recommended, was tyrannical, dictatorial, perverse, playing with power, trampling on the law of the country, and has become a big thief of the country. Therefore, he gave up his personal grudge against the Yuan family and came to ask for Dong with Lu Gong. ”

Yuan Shao asked in surprise: "You are the nephew of the former general?" ”

"Otherwise, why did the general favor me for no reason when he was alive." He Bai said proudly.

Although He Jin's ability is not good, he is absolutely virtuous and righteous. In the five or six years since he served as a general, he was modest and studious, respected the virtuous and benevolent, and was quite popular in the court. Therefore, he supported Liu Bian and controlled the government, and the people of the world basically agreed. However, he was harmed by the hands of the fake eunuchs, and so many troubles happened.

Yuan Shao's face turned ashamed, but Ren Ziqiang said: "The general's suffering is really what I can expect. ”

He Bai asked again: "What about the general of the chariot cavalry, he was ordered by the former empress dowager to attack the North Palace with you, but why are you fine, but he was killed for no reason?" ”

This thing was done by Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Min at the instigation of Wu Kuang and others, but Yuan Shao may not have been unaware, and there was a slight agreement in his heart at that time, so he was speechless for a long time. For the former chief official He Jin, whether Yuan Shao really harmed or unintentionally harmed, but for the He family, it was a loss after all.

And sit back and watch He Miao be killed, let the He family decline, make the throne of King Donglai unstable, and so on, all of which were caused by the Yuan family's removal of eunuchs. Therefore, Yuan Shao could only be speechless when facing He Bai, who claimed to be the person of the He clan in Nanyang. Moreover, most of the more than a dozen town princes who were sitting in the alliance were He Jin's former subordinates, so Yuan Shao wanted to be angry, and it was not easy to initiate, so he had to talk to Lu Zhi.

Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Bao Xin, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian and Zhang Yang and other princes welcomed and surprised He Bai, and did not want He Bai to be a member of the He clan in Nanyang, only the new Changshan Prime Minister Kong Rong looked down on He Bai.

He Bai didn't want to occupy the Beihai Minister, which originally belonged to Kong Rong, but Kong Rong was arranged to go to Changshan Country as the Prime Minister. I have a lot of private business in Changshan, and there are Kong Rongxiang who is hostile to him, which is not a good thing.

Lu Zhi inquired about Yuan Shao's allied army and Dong Zhuo's Western Liang army. Yuan Shao explained: "On the fifth day of the first lunar month, all the princes met in the sour jujube alliance in advance, and respected me as the leader of the alliance. Because the armies from all walks of life have not arrived, they have not yet started a war with Dong Zhuo. Before our army and Wang Kuangtun troops were in Hanoi, Zhang Yang also led thousands of people to come to deter Dong thieves in the north; Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Kong Rong and Bao Xintun soldiers were in the sour jujube, and they deterred Dong thieves head-on. Yuan Shutun soldiers Luyang, Kong Lingtun soldiers Yingchuan, in the south to deter Dong thieves; Gongsun Zhan tun troops in Wei County, Tao Qian tun troops in Liang State, thinking that they should respond. Han Fu stayed in Jizhou and paid the allied army rations. ”

"Dong Zhuo, first sent generals to guard the eight passes, isolating the east-west traffic. At the beginning of February, the lieutenants Li Dao and Guo Yan led their troops out of Dagu to attack Yingchuan, defeated Kong Ling several times, killed and wounded nearly 10,000 people, and forced Kong Ling to be trapped and defend Yangzhai not out. He also ordered the lieutenants Fan Chou and Zhang Ji to attack Pingyin, but secretly crossed Xiaopingjin and attacked Wang Kuang's army in Hanoi, and Wang Kuang's army was almost completely wiped out. At that time, Wang Kuang was in sour dates, so he was spared. Recently, Wang Kuang returned to his hometown to recruit soldiers and horses, while our army temporarily withdrew to repair military defense. After these two battles, the strength of the Xiliang army was fully demonstrated, and our coalition army was weak, so we had to garrison high bases without fighting. ”

Lu Zhizu shouted: "The coalition army of more than 200,000 people was shocked by the two Xiliang armies, you are really ......."

Yuan Shao hurriedly explained: "Duke Lu also knows that most of the elites in the world have been recruited by the court to Luoyang, and now the soldiers and horses in various states and counties are mostly rabble, and they must not be refined, and it may be difficult to go into battle." Therefore, our coalition forces deliberately cut off the supply of food and wages to the prefectures and counties in the eastern part of the country, hoping to make it chaotic without a fight. ”

Lu Zhi asked: "The court has a lot of grain in Aocang, and the grain collection is not less than 10 million stones. So when will we be able to stay until Dong Jun runs out of food? ”

Cao Cao on the side said: "I want to bother, please lead the people of Hanoi at the beginning, Linmengjin and sour dates; The generals stuck to Chenggao, according to Aocang, Sai Yuyuan, Taigu, and controlled its dangers; The highway rate Nanyang's army, stationed in Dan, analysis, into the military pass, to earthquake three auxiliaries. All deep ditches and high bases, do not fight, benefit from doubtful soldiers, and show the situation in the world. To be obedient and disobedient, you can also be determined. However, the armies hesitated to advance today, and greatly disappointed the hope of the world. Shame on you! ”

Yuan Shao said unhappily: "This is not hesitation, but the lack of soldiers." There is Changsha Taishou Sun Jian Sun Wentai to write to join the alliance, Sun Wentai is the tiger of Jiangdong, the soldiers and horses under his command are strong, and when he comes, he can be appointed as a pioneer. ”
