Queen Mother He raised his eyebrows and asked happily: "In this way, may the Ai family and the King of Donglai be returned to Luoyang City together?"

When Lu Zhi was shocked when he heard this, he turned his head and smiled bitterly: "Since the death of the general and the officials in the palace, King Donglai has lost the emperor's authority. If he can escape from the right and wrong circle of the capital by chance, why should the Queen Mother intervene? Now King Donglai has the right to abdicate the throne and has a transcendent position in the hearts of the people of the world. No one dares to be unfavorable to my king. But if he returns to the capital, I am afraid that the young emperor will be uneasy."

Queen Mother He was displeased at once, but Liu Bian smiled indifferently: "Since you abdicated, you will naturally be more thorough. I ordered Dong Zhuo to rule the prime minister because I was originally in charge of me. Now that I am safe, I naturally have to consider the safety of the emperor. Therefore, the position of Dong Zhuo as prime minister was abolished, and the emperor chose to assist me. This was the time. Prime Minister Lu, please write a letter to the king's order, and I will use a seal on it."

Lu Zhi immediately sighed at the virtues of Donglai King Liu Bian, which was not inferior to the virtues of the ancient sages and wise men and emperors Shun.

He Bai also thought about it at this time that Lu Zhi's move was no longer harmful, but was beneficial. At least at this time, Yuan Shao, who was the leader of the Kanto Alliance, won some attention. Anyway, the attack on Dong Zhuo was just a political show and a formality. As the initiator, Lu Zhi didn't have long lived, and the remaining halo would only be on his own.

After Lu Zhi wrote the letter of King's Decree, Liu Bian used the golden seal of King Donglai on it, and the letter of King's Decree was immediately cleared. Lu Zhi said to He Bai: "Yuan Benchu ​​wanted to kill Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo was unwilling to be punished. It is inevitable that he would have a tit-for-tat confrontation. But I asked Dong Zhuo to dismiss the position of prime minister and leave the capital Luoyang and release him as the governor of Liangzhou. I believe that Dong Zhuo would leave Luoyang helplessly under the turmoil of the world."

He Bai said, "Yes, yes, Dong Zhuo has a little bit of consideration for the country, so he will not dare to force himself to love the position of prime minister and not retreat."

During the more than ten years of Emperor Ling's reign, there were countless officials who served as the Three Dukes, and none of them could rely on the ruling official position to stay. In Lu Zhi's thoughts, Dong Zhuo would be the same.

But he did not see that the world's feelings have changed and the world's troubled times have come. People like Dong Zhuo, as long as they don't die, they will never give up their power. This is the reason why Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Yi are very capable, but they can't make a fortune in the troubled times.

Lu Zhi bowed and thanked, "With the help of heaven, I think this matter will be accomplished. The court has been in chaos for a long time, and it is time to return to stability. This time, no less than 30,000 troops will be sent, otherwise Dong Zhuo cannot be restrained. Even Yuan Benchu ​​will probably do something. You can go back to Beihai to collect troops and recruit volunteers first. You and I have half of the family, so how will the time be set off on the third day of the second month?"

It is the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, and there is still half a month left before the third day of the second lunar month. He Bai smiled and said, "The Beihai country has a large population. I have 5,000 troops from Xiyuan. Beihai will send another 15,000 troops, totaling 20,000 troops. Mr. Lu only needs to send 10,000 troops."

After thinking about it, Lu Zhi agreed with He Bai's statement, and then replied: "Donglai has few soldiers, only more than 5,000 people. Even if he recruits brave men, it is probably difficult to have enough ten thousand people. I am very relieved to be willing to take on this important task tomorrow. However, I received a lot of money and grain in this battle, about 500 million yuan and 400,000 stones of food. I will take half of the people and the other half for the cost of the common soldiers of the two countries."

Lu Zhi insisted on paying money and grain, but He Bai was not good at opposing it. After all, Beihai Kingdom was killed. Next, He Bai discussed with Lu Zhi about the resettlement of Yellow Turban prisoners. Lu Zhi had a very strict attitude towards the Yellow Turbans. Any believer who was a Taiping Taoist believer was killed on the spot. Those who were a thief for less than a year would be released to his hometown; those who were a thief for more than a year would be sentenced to three years; those who were a thief for more than a year would be sent to prison.

In addition to the more than 30,000 people who died in this battle, there were 110,000 people. There were only more than 30,000 people in Beihai Kingdom, and most of the others were from Donglai Kingdom. After being one cent by Lu Zhi, at least more than 10,000 people had to be sentenced to hard labor and imprisonment. He Bai was not very careful and only managed more than 30,000 people in Beihai Kingdom.

He Bailing Guan Cheng and Jiang Qin's navy were fully responsible for the transfer of prisoners, and led the cavalry and infantry army to redirect the Beihai Kingdom. First, he sent back cavalry officials such as Zhang Zhao to prepare 40,000 supplies for the resettlement. He also ordered Cui Yan and others to divide the fields in the empty Xiami County to ensure that each household had 100 acres of land. Only with the extra population could they be resettled to Duchang County.

After returning to Ye County, Wu'anguo, Zong Bao and others who were camping here all sued He Bai, disappointing He Bai's reputation. He Bai did not blame them, but just asked them to learn water quality in the future and take more boats to sea for training.

As soon as he returned to Beihai Ju County, there were 3,000 private soldiers from the He family from Zhongshan and escorted He Bai's wives, concubines and children to report. The generals led by Fu Xing, and the deputy generals were Che Jing, Yu Hua, Cheng Qi, Lu Ping, Du Lei, and Chu Hu.

Brother Dian Wei and his family also came with him. He Bai was immediately overjoyed when he saw the eight people. Without waiting for his wife, concubine and children to be kind, he immediately ordered someone to prepare a banquet. However, when Fu Xing and the other seven people saw He Bai, they immediately accepted the bow, and it was a big gift that was overwhelming.

He Bai couldn't help but ask in surprise: "You are my brothers. From being humble to sharing life and death at this time, you should have a relative of flesh and blood. Why do you value so much courtesy?"

Fu Xing said, "The lord is now the prime minister of Beihai and the marquis of Longchi Township. There are countless Xintou troops, among which it is a mixture of dragons and snakes, and there are many people who are respectful and arrogant. It is because the lord regards us as a relative of brothers that we should express our respect to our lord more, otherwise wouldn't it be that others underestimate the lord's ability to be underestimated."

After hearing this, He Bai sighed secretly that this is his real private part, which is to consider more for himself and give him face.

Before He Bai could react, Dian Wei also bowed to He Bai: "Xiaoman's condition has gradually improved, so I don't need to worry about anything anymore. In the future, I will join my brother's command as a general. The lord is here, please accept Dian Wei's worship."

He Bai was even more shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help Dian Wei up and shouted: "Brother, how can this be done, how can this be done?"

Dian Wei smiled and said, "In terms of personal gain, you and I are brothers. In terms of public admiration, you and I are subordinates. Isn't it natural for the lord to receive the respect of subordinates? Fu Xing was right just now. Only by expressing respect to the lord can others not underestimate the lord's ability to govern. Even my brother is respectful, so others dare not sting in front of the lord."

He Bai was moved by Wu Yi. At that time, he ordered people to get a hundred kilograms of good wine, talked about his past relationship with the eight people, and drank it. It was not until halfway through the hour of Hai that He Bai was already unable to drink, and was carried back to the inner room.

After taking a shower by his wives and concubines, he woke up a little more. Looking at the eight beautiful wives and concubines who had been separated for almost a year, He Bai was drunk and moved even more. Unfortunately, five energetic little guys cried and stopped, which made He Bai very embarrassed.

He said that he was from his father who was already five children, but he never took them well. He was all over one year old and could run and call, but he only had ten days to meet. He Bai's father was so incompetent. He Bai forced himself to be energetic, suppressed his excitement, and drove away eight wives and concubines. He accompanied his five innocent children for more than an hour before he fell asleep unknowingly.

Early the next morning, after He Bai woke up, he looked at his five children who were lying on his body and fell asleep. The deep fatherly love in his heart erupted and he no longer managed things outside. He just wanted to have a warm and tender enjoyment with his wives, concubines and children.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhao, a master in government management, was familiar with the military logistics in Beihai. He didn't need He Bai to take care of any attention. After three days of continuous operation, He Bai walked out of the inner room and asked Zhang Zhao if there was something important to deal with in the country.

When he learned that more than 30,000 prisoners were divided into 7,000 households, all of which were placed in Xiami County. Each household not only had 100 acres of land, but also gave twenty stones of food and various tools needed for spring plowing. After making trouble with the Yellow Turban for a long time, the people who had no hope for the future and died at some point suddenly burst into tears. After thanking He Bai and the officials of the Beihai Kingdom for their great kindness, they were relieved to prepare for the spring plowing.

It was already the first day of the second month, and it was only two days before Lu Zhi sent troops and ten days before he arrived in Ju County. He Bai remembered the matter of recruiting more troops. It turned out that there were already 16,000 soldiers, and 4,000 people and 4,000 civilians.

It is easy to deal with civil servants, but the source of soldiers who can fight is not easy to deal with. He Bai then asked Luo Pei to issue a document to recruit brave men first, and then wonder if he would use his brains to the soldiers of the rich.

I don’t know if He Bai’s prestige in Beihai is enough or luck. The document to recruit brave men has just been released for only three days, and three or four hundred light heroes came to serve, and there were also Ai, Yu and Fan families from Duchang County who sent two hundred strong salt protection soldiers.

In a few days, the wealthy families of Beihai sent more than 3,000 soldiers to serve. In the end, even Gongshalu from Jiaodong personally took 800 soldiers, 20 million coins and 100,000 stones of food and grass, and came to Ju County to express his surrender to He Bai.

He Bai was overjoyed. Even Gongshalu's stubborn head surrendered. It seemed that his prestige from the Beihai Kingdom had reached the point where everyone respected him. Gongshalu's surrender means that there is no force in Beihai that is hostile or uncooperable to He Bai. Even if there are only a few people with distorted minds, they will not be able to do so. For He Bai, who has always wanted to seek a stable foundation, it has finally been achieved at this moment.

Gongshalu's vote for Li, He Bai also knew how to repay him with peach, and he was the new Xiami County Magistrate. This is not only the first time he intervened in the personnel appointment of county-level chief officials, but also represents that Beihai Kingdom has officially entered He Bai's dictatorial era.
