Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Seventh Enlightenment

The maid hurriedly saw He Bai entering the room. Huang Zhong's son also smiled and said to He Bai's salute to He Bai, and then pulled the armor that He Bai Shang had not taken off before he could take off. After He Bai looked at it, he realized that Huang Xu was only four or five years old, so he shook his head and said, "Uncle Han, please forgive me for yourselves. I am afraid this child will be like this in his life."

Huang Zhong's expression suddenly became dark, but he seemed to have realized something long ago, so he bowed to He Bai: "It's a pity that I couldn't learn about the reason for He Junhou's abnormal child earlier. Otherwise, Xu'er shouldn't have been born in the world and suffered all kinds of hardships."

He Bai's heart moved and asked, "Can you have a relationship with your wife like cousin?"

Huang Zhong nodded and said sadly: "Yes, Zhong and his wife are cousins ​​who grew up together since childhood. At that time, they just wanted to kiss each other, but they didn't want such a bad consequence. They just felt sorry for Xu'er. Alas..."

He Bai advised: "It is common for people to think of relatives. Besides, there is only half the chance of giving birth to such children. The other half will give birth to a child with high intelligence. It can only be said that this is an accident."

Huang Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Zhong thought why the saying of the stranger who was mentioned by the king was very reasonable. It was my ancestors who were unscrupulous, so he gave birth to such stranger. Zhong could only treat him with great love, eliminate his resentment, and let him spend his life safely."

He Bai sighed very much after hearing this. After Huang Zhong's beloved wife passed away, he never married her. In order to take care of her children, she was willing to be mediocre for many years. It can be seen that he was very concerned about feelings. Later, because he was named General Five Tigers, he was humiliated by Guan Yu. But he did not remember any insults at all, but instead took revenge on Guan Yu and eventually died on the road to revenge, which shows that he was very concerned about righteousness.

Through historical records, he was evaluated as being brave and good at fighting, brave and resourceful, and a talent for being a famous general who was the only one. In addition, his honest and simple, he valued affection and righteousness, remembered forgetfulness, and remembered the status quo, and had little ambition. He was definitely a very useful and ox-like general.

In He Bai's eyes, among the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, Huang Zhong was definitely among the top, both in terms of moral character and talent. He could be ranked alongside Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, and was hundreds of times better than the shortcomings of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The most important thing is that it is cheaper, and he will have a high loyalty without having to spend more time to win over him.

Huang Zhong's reputation in history is not as good as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei because he was born too late. However, if he is here in this world, Huang Zhong's reputation will be awesome.

He Baibai asked, "I can't help you too much for your son's illness, but I will ensure that you are always there to take care of your son's life and be worry-free all your life. Unknown, Uncle Han is willing to help me with his help and serve under my command?"

Huang Zhong sighed and bowed and bowed to his feet, saying, "Zhong is over forty years old. People often say that it is not a child that is over forty years old, and can be called an old man. He Junhou does not dislike Zhonghou's old age and sends people to summon him thousands of miles away. Although Zhong is vulgar, he is also a person who understands loyalty and righteousness. He only hopes to achieve some minor achievements under the command of the Junhou, so as to exchange for the happiness of his later life for the sake of his son."

He Bai's heart moved. The death of ancient people was generally too early, and it was normal for over 40 years old. Huang Zhong was also afraid that he would die early and his son was left unattended. However, he was only half old, and he was only 42 or 3 years old, and he still had 31 or 2 years of life. Especially when he was over 70 years old, he could break the formation and kill the generals in the two armies. He was an absolute hero who was older and stronger, and he became more and more mellow as he grew older.

He Bai then laughed and said, "I should become stronger and stronger. I would rather change my old age. I will be poorer and stronger than lose my ambition. Uncle Han is in his prime, so how can I say that I am old? If Uncle Han is still worried about the rest of his life, then what if I accept the son as my adopted son? I have 1,500 fiefs, and I can allocate 300 fiefs to support the son until he is happy to return to the dust?"

Huang Zhong was shocked. He Bai's title of the Marquis of Sunset Pavilion was a golden seal and purple ribbon. It could be passed down from his descendants. Those who have won great achievements in the country will not be rewarded. If He Bai was born in a poor family before, he would be a noble since He Bai was awarded the title. Those who dared to despise He Bai would have no one except the aristocratic family.

People who are from poor families like Huang Zhong, He Bai's identity at this time has long been very different from him. Unexpectedly, in order to summon himself, He Bai was willing to allocate 300 households to support Yi'er in order to summon him. This is no different from the Guannei Hou who was awarded by the court. How could Huang Zhong not be shocked by such importance and kindness?

Huang Zhong immediately threw his head into his head and said, "The king and the lord are wrongly praised, Huang Zhong is ashamed of being. The king and the lord are kind, Huang Zhong is foolish and rude, and he doesn't know how to repay him. In the future, the king and the lord will be Huang Zhong's lord, but if he has a decree, Huang Zhong will definitely repay his death."

He Bai was overjoyed. Huang Zhong regarded himself as a retainer of the He family, and his relationship with He Bai was far closer to his subordinates than ordinary troops. This is the benefit of He Bai's reading history. He summoned talents with his own fief, which was the same example in later generations of Japan. He Bai used it and immediately gained all the loyalty of the god-level famous general Huang Zhong.

He Bai summoned guests and servants from all over the mansion, and adopted Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu as his adopted son in front of everyone. When everyone learned that He Bai had raised Huang Zhong's demented son Huang Xu with a fief of 300 households, they were all shocked. This was a better treatment than his own son.

It should be noted that He Bai had four sons at this time, and only the legitimate son He Chuan could inherit He Bai's title, while the other sons Ruchen, Yi and Xi could only rely on themselves. A mere adoptive son, who was still a dementia man, was treated only by the legitimate son and above the concubines. It can be seen how much He Bai valued Huang Zhong.

Everyone was jealous and envious of Huang Zhong, who looked honest and simple on the outside, and asked who Huang Zhong was. When they learned that Huang Zhong was just a member of the official in Nanyang, they were all dissatisfied with He Bai's kindness and inhumane.

However, most of the people were newcomers, and not many people could speak in front of He Bai, only Luo Pei and Han Rong. However, Luo Pei was smart and did not talk. Everyone had to urge Han Rong to come and talk to He Baiyan.

Han Rong bowed and said, "My lord, I heard that the way of using people is like practicing martial arts. You can only proceed step by step, and you cannot suddenly leverage it with a high position and a generous salary. Now I see that the lord suddenly rewards an incredible old soldier who is not aware of the details, but I am afraid that someone will feel inexplicably jealous and doubting the way of using people. This is also a great disadvantage to the lord's act of attracting talents."

He Bai frowned, but immediately stretched out and smiled and said, "In the past, Emperor Gaozu defeated the will of the people and all the generals thought it was impossible. However, Emperor Gaozu forced him to defeat him and finally got the help of the Marquis of Huaiyin and enjoyed the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty. Today, I will defeat the old man Huang Han Shu of Nanyang. How can you know that he cannot help me achieve great achievements again and win the title of thousands of households?"

"I can hire Mr. Han as my teacher with a worthy gift of a thousand gold, so of course I can also use the three hundred households to raise Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu. A few mediocre people are not helpful even if they are jealous. However, if other powerful talents who are powerful and virtuous, if they hear that I am willing to treat a mere Nanyang old soldier, they will understand my desire to seek talents. This move of a thousand gold will definitely be approved by the talented people in the world, and there is no saying that it is unfavorable to take on talents."

After hearing He Bai's words, Han Rongsi said that he was originally a master of He Bai's wise and nobleman, and he hired a master of gun skills. Huang Zhong was a member of the journey, so how could he question the lord He Bai's way of employing people because of the villain's promotion? So he deeply admired He Bai and apologized and no longer paid attention to Huang Zhong's affairs.

In fact, He Bai was once scared by several fake talents of the same name. How could he really reuse Huang Zhong, who was unknown. After deciding to accept Huang Xu as his adopted son, He Bai tested Huang Zhong's martial arts. Huang Zhong's swordsmanship was indeed well-known, just like a river, making it weak at first, and mainly focusing on the defensive moment. After twenty rounds, one sword after another, like layers of waves, attacking the opponent with one blow. After fifty rounds, he was even more invincible like a flood peak, and then he was killed at this time.

It seems that Huang Zhong's sword technique is different from Guan Yu's first three swords. It requires a slow process of accumulating momentum to reach the peak of extreme power. Just like his achievements in history, the older he is, the more powerful he is, the more he is when he was young. With He Bai's martial arts at this time, he can block Huang Zhong for fifty rounds. After fifty rounds, he will be quickly killed by him after accumulating momentum to the peak.

However, Huang Zhong's archery technique was really amazing. He Bai hung a five-sized coin at a distance of 150 steps (200 meters). Huang Zhong said that he could shoot and ignored the wind direction and climate issues at all. He arrowed the target three times in a row, and the arrows hit the target. Xun Ye, who was with him, was stunned and called Huang Zhong the "flying general's rebirth."

However, the name of "Flying General" is often called a person with superb riding skills, and there are people in this life. In addition, Huang Zhong is humble and does not claim to be the name of "Flying General". Instead, He Bai thinks, why bother to follow other people's nicknames, "Old Huang Zhong, who is still strong," is no worse than anyone else's name in history.

Soon, the incident of He Bai raising the old soldiers in Nanyang with his fiefs of three hundred households spread in a short time, and spread throughout Luoyang City in two or three days. Everyone was surprised when they heard this, but they didn't expect that there was such a thirsty person in the world who was so eager to seek talents.

In front of him, a thousand golds hired Han Rong with great gifts, and later, he shared his food and favor and raised Huang Zhong. He Bai's desire for talent was finally known to everyone, and he was convinced by He Bai Xiaomeng's words. Those who held their own ability but could not be summoned by the court came to join him, just like a crucian carp crossing the river.

In addition, He Bai was about to become the Prime Minister of Beihai and had the right to recommend filial and honest people; he recommended one person with 200,000 county entrances, and more than 800,000 Beihai states, so four people could be recommended as officials every year. Therefore, talents from Beihai also came to vote. In less than ten days, He Bai collected four or five hundred civil and military talents.

This has almost wiped out half of the talents stranded in the capital to seek official positions in recent years, and most of them are cold people from all over the country. In this way, before He Bai began to conquer the world, he had supported hundreds of cold people from various prefectures and counties. Although the cold people are not as good as aristocratic families and gentry, those who can study are small landlords with poor family property, and are not as useful as pure proletarian ordinary people.

According to a brief statistics from He Bai, the majority of those who are competent as officials are, and there are as many as six or seventy people who are competent as chief of a county, and more than a dozen people who are competent as affairs of prefectures and counties. Most of them are people who are not famous in history books. In this way, before He Bai even took office as the Beihai Kingdom, he had a large number of talents who could make a country run safely.
