Chapter 132 The first episode of crowdfunding

He Bai glanced at Luo Pei, who felt aggrieved, suddenly overthrew the case, and cursed: "I asked you to come and make plans. You have waited for a long time and didn't have any plans, but came to attack Luo Zengzhi, who was determined to make plans for me. Why? He accused him of hiding evil intentions and not considering my safety to prove his unfaithfulness and show his loyalty and righteousness? It is ridiculous. What I hate the most is that there is no plan for the sake of separation, but he clamors for the loyalty and righteousness in the face of great trouble."

"Loyalty and unfaithfulness are not words, but taking practical actions. Whether Luo Zeng's plan is good or bad, wonderful or not, he has at least fulfilled his responsibilities as a minister. Even if he is wrong, it is due to his ability, not the crime of loyalty and righteousness. He should not be punished by this heart-killing statement."

The guests were scolded and silently felt ashamed. The guest who attacked Luo Pei was even scolded to kneel down and apologize. Luo Pei kowtowed with gratitude and said, "Pei, thank you for your understanding."

He Bai nodded and said, "All up. The way to be a minister is to do your best to make plans and perform your duties. I will adopt a beneficial approach. However, there is no perfect person in the world, nor is there a perfect plan. There is a folk proverb, one fence and three stakes, and one hero and three help. It should be noted that individuals' power is ultimately limited, and their ability is also very weak; but with the help of everyone, we can gather the wisdom of everyone, raise the strength of everyone, and pick up the shortcomings and make up for the mistakes. Five hundred people can make up for five hundred loopholes. Even if they are good and prudent, they will only be like this."

After hearing this, everyone nodded and admired. There were more than 500 guests sitting there, most of them were scholars, and no one thought they were stupid. They came up with a strange plan or a difficult situation, but they were doing it after others came up with it. There were so many people present, and there were always people who could try to make up for it. After a while, even if there were all kinds of mistakes and missed strategies, they would become perfect after being handed over by everyone.

He Bai said again: "I just said that I should send out righteous soldiers to fight against Dong Zhuo, a thief who was rioting and rebelling against the people. I wanted to fight against Dong in the name of fighting Dong to win the hope of benevolence and righteousness and loving the people. Let everyone in Luoyang know that He Tianming is not their kind-hearted and seeking justice, but a hero who is brave and brave. He dares to offend the superiors when he hears the violence, and is willing to fight against the strong when he knows the difficulties. Isn't this what the hero does?"

The strategy Luo Pei said was to make a name for fame. Dong Zhuo was cruel, and no one dared to blame him. If he jumped out of nothing, no matter whether he was winning or losing, he would be like Cao Cao to assassinate Dong Zhuo and was respected by the world. Even if someone was afraid of it, he would not be a mediocre person. If the generals in the lower world are in chaos today, mediocre people are not easy to hang out. Only heroes who dare to act and take on heavy responsibilities can do something.

"What's more, Dong Zhuo's victims are not only the other people in Luoyang, but also the people of my Sunsetting Pavilion. The people are the source of my food and clothing, and are the people under my rule. Dong Zhuo dares to offend him, so how can I ignore it? Since he dares to kill my people, I dare to pull my teeth out of the tiger's mouth. Otherwise, how will the people in the world view me? He sent an order to have two thousand soldiers in the entire camp and two thousand auxiliary soldiers prepare for armed preparations. At the end of the Chen Dynasty, I will go to Xiyuan to reorganize the army to fight against Dong Zhuo, the thief who is in the remnants."

Immediately, a military commander who was accompanying him answered and hurried out of the hall and rode his horse. He Bai then said again: "Someone said that this victory would be jealous of others, and that if he was defeated, he might be betrayed. Then you must win this battle and not fail. Everyone, let's take the initiative to use the weak to bully the strong and the small enemy. The time is only half an hour, and half an hour later, I must leave the city."

The guests looked solemn. Since He Bai had already set the tone, everyone stopped thinking about him, but seriously thought about the strategy to defeat the enemy. Someone said, "Lord, I heard that the Xiyuan Army has a good impression of the lord, why not invite them to attack Dong Zhuo together?"

He Bai shook his head and said, "No, this battle is my private battle of righteous indignation. It cannot be ordered by the court, so it should not be implicated too much. Besides, the entire Xiyuan Army joins the war, which will inevitably lead to a major battle, which may cause harm to the entire Henan Yin." In fact, He Bai did not want to expose the fact that the Xiyuan Army was already unbearable to use at this time, so he refused.

Someone said, "It is not a matter of little military service in our army to have high or low strength, and it is not a matter of no dispute. Besides, Dong's army is also a military force in the court. Even if he is indignant, he cannot be too much. It will lead to the death of the two armies, and thousands of people will die. The lord can act tough and defeat Dong's army slightly, let him admit his mistake, release the women he captured, and pay the casualties of the officials and the people he suffered, and compensate the king and the lord for their losses."

He Bai nodded and said, "What this said is very true, but even though I am concerned about Dong's army being the army, I will not expand the war. But will Dong Zhuo admit his mistakes, instead of being furious, but instead insisting on his own strength and insisting on expanding the war? This is all unpredictable. Therefore, the progress of this battle is not entirely due to me, but Dong Zhuo. Therefore, the purpose of our army to send troops is to defeat Dong's army, rather than to have a small victory mentality at first. Otherwise, once the war expands, our army will be at a loss and fall into panic."

Some guests made a few more opinions, but they were all refuted by He Bai one by one. In the end, no one of them could sit down and defeat the enemy. This was as expected by He Bai, so He Bai didn't care. The purpose of asking for advice today was to develop the crowdfunding spirit of the guests under his command to deal with future chaos, but he didn't really want to hear any clever plan.

Just as an hour was approaching, when He Bai was about to set off, Luo Pei suddenly murmured: "No, right? I heard that Dong's army was stationed in Shanglinyuan, Chang'an, and only thousands of soldiers arrived in Hedong in advance. The first soldiers to arrive in the capital should be Hedong. Then there were Tongguan all the way, and Hanguguan was blocked, so it was absolutely impossible to let go of General He. Where did they come from?"

He Bai was stunned. Luo Pei finally came to the point. Most of Dong Zhuo's troops wanted to come to Luoyang, and there were dangerous obstacles along the way. The generals and schools guarding the pass would not allow the order of He Jin, and they would not let Dong Jun pass through the pass easily. Even if Yuan Shao had falsely claimed that it was He Jin's order, no one would supply food and grass along the way, and no civilians would help transport grain, Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of troops could not advance so quickly.

Therefore, the three thousand men and horses did not bring baggage or civilians to Luoyang in waves, but Dong Zhuo was just playing tricks to trick. In fact, there were only three thousand Qiang cavalry in Dong Zhuo's military camp.

The guests were stunned at first, and then a person with a wise mind reacted, and immediately became overjoyed and said, "Judge, Dong Zhuo has no army in Beijing, but in fact he is just three thousand soldiers. This is a bluffing plan."

He Bai nodded and said, "To be precise, this is Sun Bin's plan to 'flower on the tree' during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period." As he said, He Bai talked about the cause of Sun Bin's plan to "flower on the tree" in history, and told everyone about the results.

"Blooming on the tree" means that there are no flowers on the tree, but they can borrow fake flowers to embellish them, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false. This strategy is used in military terms. When one's own strength is weak, one can use other people's power or some factors to make one look strong, so as to bluff and conquer the enemy. When one's side is at a disadvantage, conceal one's own strength, and pretend to be very powerful even though it is weak, so that the enemy cannot understand the truth so that one can win by surprise, and it has a strong smell.

Everyone was amazed at the wonder of this plan after hearing it, and they couldn't help but feel alert to Dong Zhuo who was about to face the enemy. Those who could use such a trick were definitely not Yi Yu. At the beginning, they were a little proud of Dong Zhuo's military soldier, but they disappeared without a trace.

Everyone was impressed by He Bai's erudition. It is important to know that there was no woodblock printing and movable type printing at this time. Most people in the world read books to copy books. Most of them were hidden in aristocratic families. In order to read good books, scholars of the cold clan had to rely on the aristocratic clans in various places. Therefore, Luo Pei, Le Peng, Zhu Mian and others studied under the Wang clan.

Everyone present is a great talent if they can read a hundred volumes of books. They are the top and well-known scholars who have been famous throughout the ages. After He Bai came to Luoyang, his erudition level was no worse than that of the great scholars of the times. Although his understanding of talent and learning is too shallow, he has developed his own unique ideological system and has a unique image.

Therefore, He Bai was accepted by Confucian scholars who had a lot of reading classics, history, and collections of classics. He believed that although He Bai had an average family background, his talent and knowledge were indeed profound and his character was not bad. In addition, he had already been granted a marquis and had a salary of 2,000 stones, so he could barely be considered a gentry. However, compared with the Yuan family of Runan and Yang family of Hongnong, he was still a bit inferior. At this time, he had so many poor scholars to come to visit him, and one of the goals was that he wanted to ask He Bai for advice on non-Confucianism.

Since Luo Pei and the guests had seen through Dong Zhuo's plan, they were immediately full of hope for the war that followed. At the same time, everyone was deeply impressed by He Bai's eyes, seeing through everything. As for the specific battle, it was the matter of generals such as He Bai, and the guests could only wish He Bai a victory.

He Bai ordered the guests to keep the secret of Dong Zhuo's military soldiers, because more than 12,000 Pojun and 3,000 Pojun were shocked to the world. Since the guests worshipped He Bai as the lord, they naturally nodded in agreement with He Bai's interests. Only He Bai can follow them. This is a matter of prosperity and loss. At this time, people should be more professional and moral, and they should be more in accordance with the orders.

The time has come, and the plan has been decided. Today, the first gathering for a meeting to discuss major events was finally over. He Bai is full of confidence in the future of taking over the Beihai country. With these not bad guests, he can definitely gain the power of the Beihai country in a short period of time.

After leaving the mansion, He Baifei flew on a horse and led Han Rong, Huang Zhong, Xun Ye and twenty cavalry entourages, and sixty martial guests rushed to the west garden. Even if Dong Zhuo wanted to gain power in the court, he would let Dong Zhuo know the consequences of offending him. Dong Zhuo Xiang was afraid of Sun Jian and was afraid of himself and did not dare to provoke him easily.
