Chapter 46 Thunderbolt
The days of nothing happened quickly. In August, after three months of secret auctions, almost all the large families in Bingzhou were sold. The 300,000 mu of land was sold for a total of 1.5 billion yuan. The most popular ones were the Wang family in Taiyuan, the mastermind of the series of plans, Wang Yun, the family.
The Taiyuan Wang family was originally from King Ling of Zhou and lived in Taiyuan County for hundreds of years. Even in later generations, he was one of the famous five surnames and seven great masters. In order to eat 100,000 acres of land, he could be considered emptying the entire Wang family. He Bai got money and Wang got land, which was a joy.
At this point, He Bai's personal wealth reached an astonishing 1.7 billion yuan, which is considered a considerable monetary. If it is only cash, even if it is in the country, it is still the top ranking. It should be noted that Liang Ji, the domineering general who was known as the richest in the world, only had more than 3 billion yuan in property after his defeat. However, according to He Bai's thoughts, Liang Ji only had more than 3 billion yuan in property, but 30 billion yuan was about the same. I am afraid that Emperor Heng of Han was deceived by the "big loyal ministers".
In September of the fifth year of Zhongping, that is, in September of 188, Ding Yuan and the General of the Huns of the Huns fought against the Southern Xiongnu people at the Yinguan City. More than a dozen people including Lu Bu, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue rushed to the Southern Xiongnu formation, and broke into the formation three or four times a day, and they were beheaded and out. They were respected by the Southern Xiongnu people and were shocked to call him the reincarnation of the flying general.
Under the continuous attack of the Han army led by Lu Bu, the Southern Xiongnu finally lost their support. After a decisive battle, they evacuated Yanmen County, retreated to Xihe, Dingxiang, Shangjun and other places, and sent a surrender to the Hanting Court. Dingyuan's army won the victory and returned to Taiyuan County, and made many contributions to the generals. Lu Bu made the greatest contributions among them, which was higher than the generals in the competition.
Ding Yuan was very proud, but He Bai was secretly heartbroken. The five thousand army was in the battle, but there were only more than 3,600 people back. Moreover, there were many disabled people, with nearly a thousand people. Even if most of them could be cured, the number of intact would not exceed 3,000.
In one battle, there was a 50% loss rate. The first Taiyuan County soldiers did not collapse, which made He Bai heartbroken and happy. If he had been commanded by himself, there would never be such a heavy casualties. However, according to the friendly Taiyuan family, Ding Yuan intended to let the Taiyuan County soldiers be the vanguard. For the other Han army, each army and battalion, there was only 10% loss rate. When He Bai knew the details, he secretly wrote Ding Yuan a note.
In the Han Dynasty, ordinary soldiers had no salary. They served in military service under the conditions of compulsory state. In terms of income, in addition to rewards from heroic commanders and beheadings, they could only plunder and plunder after defeating the enemy.
After all, only a few people were rewarded and beheaded. The Southern Xiongnu were very poor and could be said to be robbed, while the soldiers who died and were disabled were basically not worth it. Even if the court learned about it, they would only say that they deserve it. Therefore, the people in ancient times were not afraid of heavy taxes, but were only afraid of hard-working and military service. At least there was a limit to heavy taxes, while hard-working and military service were basically linked to death, and there was no pension at all.
These soldiers were originally recruited by He Bai. At this time, all He Bai could do was to strive for a reward they deserved.
All the injured soldiers were sent to the logistics medical camp for treatment, and they paid for their own money to build a Rongjiao for disabled soldiers who could not work. Those who could work would rent a large piece of wasteland for them and build a Rongjiao Farm as the logistics force of Taiyuan County soldiers. They also wanted to take the unmarried soldiers to get their wives and get married. As for the soldiers who died, each family would give 30,000 yuan a one-time pension, and asked the Taiyuan Prefect to give preferential policies to the families of the dead soldiers to exempt them from labor service.
Other soldiers distributed 3,000 yuan each in their own name as a reward for participating in the war for four months and defeating the Southern Xiongnu rebels. After these things were done, He Bai spent a total of 60 million yuan in deposits. Compared with the Taiyuan County soldiers who died and injured nearly 2,000 people, the average person was 30,000 yuan, and this compensation was still too small.
This is not He Bai's stinginess. After all, He Bai is just the commander of Taiyuan County, not the court, and he can't do too much. Besides, with Ding Yuan here, the wealth cannot be revealed. Fortunately, the rules at this time allow the chief generals of each army to spend their own money to support the soldiers and soldiers in the army to serve him. Otherwise, he would not be able to compensate the soldiers.
At this point, no matter the families of the fallen soldiers or the injured and uninjured soldiers, they were very grateful to He Bai. How could the generals and officials in feudal society love the soldiers so much like their children, at most they regarded them as capital for making achievements and stepping stones. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as merit accumulated by corpses.
Even if there are those who love soldiers as much as Wu Qi, they will only care for useful soldiers. Those who are disabled are sorry, no one has so much spare money to support you. Those who die are even more sorry, it is nothing to do with me.
At this moment, the soldiers of these more than 3,000 troops were all moved by He Bai. In the hearts of these simple soldiers, there was no family, country, and the world, only the word "loyalty and righteousness" was known. Whoever treats them well, gives them food and makes their lives better, and can get all their loyalty without worries. Therefore, the cavalry of 1,400 people, all the troops followed him to the death. However, He Bai's orders were fearless and bravely moved forward even if there was a sea of swords and fires in front of him. This was also the inevitable result of He Bai's kindness.
At this point, He Bai finally had a private plot of 1,400 cavalry, more than 3,000 infantry, 600 logistics engineers and medical soldiers, and a total of more than 5,000 people. This allowed He Bai, who had nothing from the future, to gain a little chance in the future melee, and at the same time, to have a little confidence.
Through continuous intensive training and good logistics food supply, the soldiers went from their initial noodles to their strong bodies and rosy faces now. After this rosy face, they gradually gained a sense of strength and elite momentum. They had already experienced a bloody battle with the Southern Xiongnu people. As long as they were running-in with one or two battles, they would become an invincible and powerful army.
As soon as Lu Bu returned to Jinyang City, he heard that his wife was pregnant for more than four months. Calculated the time, it was exactly what she had been pregnant before going to war. Lu Bu was overjoyed and summoned all the generals who were kind to the army, and He Bai and the Taiyuan prefect went to the palace to have a banquet.
During the banquet, the generals came forward happily and congratulated each other, congratulating Lu Bu for a son as soon as possible. Lu Bu was extremely happy and smiled and said, "I think I'd like to present my auspicious words to my brother Tianming."
He Bai, who was a little guilty, toasted and smiled, "Brother Fengxian is a capable person. He is like a rough jade. One day he will emit dazzling brilliance. What can some of He's predictions be worth?"
Wei Xu clattered and shouted: "Lord Lord Bo is a world-class general. In this battle with the Southern Xiongnu, Lord Bo alone killed more than 300 Southern Xiongnu people. If you have flying generals like Lord Bo in Bingzhou, you will be free of worries for decades. We respect Lord Lu Bo together."
All the generals praised Lu Bu's bravery, and even praised Lu Bu's majesty when fighting against the Southern Huns in Yanmen County. Without Lu Bu's courage to break into the front, the Han army would not have won so smoothly and quickly. However, Governor Ding for some reason, he wiped out Lu Bu's merit for no reason. In the document of reporting merit, he almost didn't mention Lu Bu.
When Lu Bu heard the cold expression after hearing this, he forced himself to say that Ding Yuan had made other arrangements. The generals all responded to Lu Bu's experience, and were even more dissatisfied with Lu Bu, who was a powerful general, as a civil servant. You should know that at this time, it was justified that it was a matter of finding a title of a marquis from thousands of miles away. It would be too boring to be a civil servant. Otherwise, there would not have been Ban Chao's pen to join the army and the deeds of thirty-six people traversing the Western Regions.
He Bai's heart suddenly moved. Could it be that Ding Yuan knew about Lu Bu's acceptance of bribes, but he just cherished his talents and did not point them out. He only reminded him in secret, but Lu Bu could not guess it.
He Baiguan, the generals present, including those who were summoned by He Bai, were all admired by Lu Bu in history. Even Zhang Yang, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others who He Bai met for the first time, also admired Lu Bu very much. This made He Bai, who was interested in making friends, unable to touch him at all.
He Bai couldn't help but sigh secretly, "My martial arts skills are not bad, why don't you come to respect me?" Thinking about how far away they are from Lu Bu's martial arts skills at this time, it seems that it's time to find Brother Dian Wei to support the scene."
Late at night, Lu Bu was drunk again. This time, he was helped back by two beautiful maids whom He Bai bought for Yan Meier. With these two women, Lu Bu would not blame Yan Meier for being irrational and ill. As for A Rou, he lied that he died of illness. Although Lu Bu was so sad, he had no doubts because he had two new beautiful maids in the mansion.
It has been a whole year and four months since I left Taihang Mountain. I don’t know how Brother Dian Wei’s family and Uncle Hunter are. He Bai is the leader of the military officers of Taiyuan County, so he doesn’t have to ask for leave from anyone. He just needs to say that he wants to go to Liujiu County for inspection and leads two hundred cavalry to set off.
Fu Xing stayed with Yu Huacheng to continue to complete the resettlement of the wounded soldiers and re-engage the army. In the end, he began to establish a large battlefield emergency team, as well as the matter of being responsible for the logistics and logistics troops headed by Lu Ping.
Calculate the time, it seems that Anova has given birth, and she doesn't know whether she is safe or not, she is a man or a woman. If it weren't for Zhang Yan and other thieves in Taihang Mountains were not very stable, she wouldn't have crossed Taihang Mountain from Changshan Country to Taiyuan, otherwise He Bai would have brought his wives and concubines to Taiyuan long ago.
It was too far to take a detour to Julu, Wei County, Hanoi, Shangdang and then to Taiyuan. He Bai couldn't bear to let them come with a big belly. As the commander of Taiyuan County, He Bai had the responsibility to stay away from Taiyuan County. He went to Zhongshan Kingdom to visit his wives and concubines, and could only silently bless them in his heart.
When He Bai came to Lujiui County, he would go to the mountain road in the north for four or five days and arrive at the seclusion place at that time. He thought that he would meet Brother Dian Wei and the others again, and he was very happy.
When He Bai's army entered the small town, the people in the small town were very surprised. Lujiui County was just a small county town, and the small town was close to Taihang Mountain, which was a place where hunters in the mountains specialize in buying and selling goods. When He Bai was hunting on Taihang Mountain, he had come with the hunter several times.
The small town has a small population, only five or six hundred households, and there are only a hundred soldiers in the city. He Bai received two hundred well-equipped mighty men, all of whom were riding tall and big horses, which naturally surprised the people, thinking that they were the great nobles from where they came from. He Bai was the leader of the military officers of Taiyuan County, and he could be called a noble person.
This county is a common business, and the merchants who receive goods only come at a fixed time every year. However, because it is a must-pass road on Jingxing Road, people can still live in peace by opening a store to earn food and accommodation. However, since Zhang Yan and other black mountain bandits occupied the ridges of Taihang Mountain, the passenger flow has become much less, and the people's lives have become increasingly difficult. The arrival of He Bai and his party will surely make the people more income, and this year will be easier.
He Bai was afraid that the horses would rush around the city, so he took the initiative to dismount when he entered the city. Not long after he led his troops into the county, he saw the people in the county gathering together, obviously divided into two encirclements. One encirclement was to watch himself, intending to attract customers but was afraid, so he had to nod and bow. There seemed to be a person in the encirclement that interested the people.
Just as the two encirclements were about to overlap, a man in official uniform suddenly separated the people and came to He Bai, bowed and bowed, and said, "Emperor He is here, and the county magistrate Shen Guan is polite. The magistrate of the county came to inspect the county, but Shen Guan was unable to come out to welcome him. I hope the magistrate of the magistrate will be forgiven."
He Bai bowed and said, "I am polite, County Magistrate Shen, don't be polite. I am just passing by for personal matters and patrolling the city defense. By the way, what happened ahead? This made the people watch?"
"Master Duwei, there is a bad man from nowhere in front of him who killed a local gentry in the city, carrying the head of the man in his hand to escape from the city. Just now, I led the yamen runners and soldiers in the city to surround him and prepare to capture him."
"Have you not taken it yet?"
Shen Guan smiled awkwardly: "This evil man is extremely vicious. More than a hundred people cannot get close to him, but he called the Duwei laughed at him. I dared to ask the Duwei to help him."
He Bai said intimately: The evil man who can bring more than a hundred people to the point of being close to him must be a powerful character, almost like Brother Dian Wei. See if there is any possibility of subdue.
With a wave of He Bai, the soldiers abandoned their horses and opened the way. When He Bai carried his two whips into another encirclement, he saw a 8-foot-foot man wearing a tiger-skin tights standing in the encirclement. He hugged his chest with his hands and stood with his eyes closed, as if he did not take the person in his eyes.
His whole body was very developed, as if he was about to break his clothes and protrude. His arms were powerful and he did not carry any weapons. There was just a human head hanging around his waist, which was bloody and bloody. Looking at the tearing wound on his neck, it seemed that the tiger-skinned man twisted off his body with his hands.
He Bai gasped when he saw this, but he shouted excitedly: "Brother Dian Wei."
The big man moved his body after hearing He Bai's call, his eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes suddenly shone brightly. The people around him were so scared that they retreated in a hurry, and for a moment they were in a mess. Who else was there except Dian Wei?
He Bai threw his whip and stepped forward to hug Dian Wei tightly. Dian Wei was also very excited and called out "Brother." Then he could no longer speak. The two hugged each other tightly. After a long time, Dian Wei said, "Brother, you are finally back."
He Bai couldn't help but think of the wonderful time on Taihang Mountain. Brother Dian Wei's strict teacher as strict as his father, his brotherly care, his sister-in-law's kind face, his nephew's thin but naughty figure, and his honest smile, all of them all surged into his heart, and tears fell like rain.
"Yes, brother, I'm back. I'm now promising. I'm now the lieutenant in Taiyuan County. I'm back today, just to pick up my elder brother, sister-in-law, Xiaoman, and the hunter uncle. Just like before, let's be together and beautiful."
When Dian Wei heard the word "Uncle", he couldn't help but feel ache. He rolled his eyes and thought something was wrong. Sure enough, Dian Wei said in pain: "Uncle is dead?"
"How did you die?" He Bai opened his eyes wide and grabbed Dian Wei's hand tightly. He glanced at the head again and asked immediately: "But this person has harmed the uncle?"
