Chapter Seventeen: Life and Death

Late at night, He Bai coaxed Anova to bed early and sat alone in the tent. At the hour of the dynasty, two black shadows dodged left and right and dodged into He Bai's tent. Seeing He Bai who was drinking in the tent, he couldn't help but bow to the ground and called out, "Chengzhang, Fu Xing pays homage to the lord. Since the lord disappeared that night, I have worked so hard to find you."

The two black shadows were Chengzhang and Fu Xing, who had not seen for a long time. He Bai thought that they would completely break away from him from now on, but he did not expect that the two of them would find this place all the way. In this way, these two people are really loyal and righteous people. Once they have decided to follow the emperor, they will follow him unanimously unless they have received news that they are indeed dead.

He Bai quickly stood up, stepped forward and helped the two of them up, bent his body and apologized, "Oh, ah, you two have come to Wuhuan to find me. Since that night, I was seriously injured and captured, I thought I would completely lose contact with the Han area in this life. Unexpectedly, you and my servants will have one day to meet again."

Chengzhang and Fu Xing both said yes with some excitement. He Bai hurriedly asked the two to sit down before telling them about their experiences over the past few months.

Cheng Zhang immediately slapped his legs and shouted, "Damn Yan, they dared to say that the lord surrendered to the enemy in the face of the battle. That was impossible. Gongsun Prefect listened to it and even issued a wanted order to capture the lord everywhere. It made me almost arrested. Fortunately, with the protection of Lord Gongsun Gongcao, I hid for a lot of time. Later, I met Ma Shang, named Ma Yi, and then I thought of accompanying him to find the lord. Fortunately, I found the lord in just two months."

He Bai scratched his head and asked in confusion: "I am not in Youbeiping, but I don't know how Yan Gang and Yan Ji concealed me?"

Fu Xing said disdainfully: "What else can you do? Isn't it just that you saw you surrendering to the enemy with your own eyes. Gongsun Taiguo didn't go to investigate the truth, and immediately listened to him."

"So strange? I helped him kill for a day and killed a lot of Wuhuan people. I also had my contribution to overcoming the 30,000 Wuhuan army. How could he kill the donkey like this?"

Fu Xing shook his head and said, "I discussed with Brother Cheng many times, and then I thought about it for a long time before I thought of something. Lord, didn't you make an oath to Bai Ma Yicong? I think it was because of this that Gongsun Taishou targeted you."

"It is the white horse that follows the righteousness, where righteousness comes, life and death are the same! Can the heavens learn from it, is the white horse proved?"

"That's right." Fu Xing explained carefully: "Gongsun Taishou's original intention was to make the Baima Yicong become a weapon in his hands, and to make Yicong swore to follow him closely, follow him closely, charge for him, and make achievements. However, the lord's oath asked Yicong to work hard together, and even life and death must be together. In this way, as long as the lord has the heart to win over, the military morale of the Baima Yicong will naturally slowly move closer to the lord. In this way, how could Gongsun Taishou tolerate you?"

He Bai couldn't help but wonder and asked, "It's just such a small question? If he doesn't like it, he can change it. Who wants to take his morale?"

Cheng Zhang nodded repeatedly and replied, "Lord, you think this is a small matter, but in the eyes of Gongsun Prefect, this is a big matter. People who are the main people are most afraid of their subordinates having different intentions. Because of your vow, Baima Yicong only fought with you for one or two battles, and almost snatched their morale from the army."

Fu Xing said, "Later Yan Ji was appointed as the deputy commander of Baima Yicong, and your oath changed that day. However, because of this change, many Baima Yicong were dissatisfied. Several Baima Yicong raised objections and were killed by Yan Ji on the spot. This annoyed many people. Thirty or forty Baima Yicong fled that night."

He Bai asked in surprise: "What? Bai Ma Yicong, who is known for his loyalty, has fled?"

Cheng Zhang said, "It is precisely because of this that Gongsun Gongcao can no longer protect me. In desperation, we had to escape from Youbeiping County and all the way to Wuhuan."

He Bai sighed inwardly, but he didn't expect that just because of a vow, he was discouraged by Gongsun Zan, and Bai Ma Yicong fled for himself. After He Bai came to this life, he was a little disliked in everything, but now it seems that this era also has his cuteness.

Fu Xing asked in a deep voice: "Lord, don't you want to be the son-in-law of Lord Qiu Liju in this Wuhuan land, right?"

He Bai spread his hands and said, "Isn't it possible? There is such a beautiful woman who is a love wife, and there are more than 800 slaves who fall into nearly 8,000 people. This kind of decadent life of a slave owner is extremely wonderful no matter how you think about it."

Fu Xing sighed and said, "I thought the lord had great ambitions, but I didn't expect that this mere wealth of Wuhuan would erode the ambition of the lord that day..." As he said, Fu Xing leaned down and said, "Lord, since you are happy here, then Xing thanked me, and hoped that there would be another day in the future..."

Fu Xing was leaving? He Bai was shocked. This was the only person under his subordinate who had experience in commanding the army. He immediately leaned forward and helped him up and smiled and said, "What I said just now is just a joke. How could I forget the ambitions I said that day. I think He Bai was in the world and wanted to do something big, and he didn't need money, food, and soldiers? Then Gongsun Zan could turn against me for the sake of just three hundred white horses. Can't I be Qiu Liju's son-in-law for the sake of these more than three hundred Wuhuan cavalry?"

"Today, Qiu Liju helped me seize the five hundred slaves of his nephew Tadun. In this way, I have eight thousand slaves. The slaves of these eight thousand people have at least eight hundred cavalry spirits. If they are five to one, it is the one thousand five to six hundred cavalry Wuwan Tuk. You have also fought with the Wuwan Tuk, and you should know that the Wuwan Tuk is far more brave than ordinary Han cavalry."

"And they have not undergone special training. If they practice them in the form of Han cavalry and have excellent equipment, they should not be much worse than Baima Yi. This is my capital to rise up. Do you still think it's not good for me to be a slave owner here?"

Fu Xing rubbed his hands happily and shouted, "Okay, really good. It turns out that the lord has never forgotten his original ambitions. But... lord, when will you want to return to the Central Plains?"

He Bai shook his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, Qiu Liju is so kind to me, I have to repay you. Well... In addition, I see the constant filth between the great man and Wuhuan, and the Wuhuan people are still rebellious, but I am afraid there will be recurrences in the near future. I once said that if he does not help Qiu Liju invade the Han territory, if he rebels, I will leave him for this reason, and it is not easy to blame me for him."

Fu Xing asked, "It's so great, but how can I come to help my lord?"

He Bai smiled and said, "What trouble does this require? You are my entourages. Tomorrow, you will directly point out that. A loyal and righteous minister came from the Han area to find the master. No matter where it is placed, it will be a good talk. Tomorrow, I will ask your mistress to choose a few beautiful female slaves to reward you. Everyone else has a share. Let you give birth to some children early, and leave your worries and fight for me with peace of mind."

Fu Xing and Chengzhang suddenly turned red. At first, they couldn't get married because of their poor family. Later, they had no time to get married, so it was not until now that He Bai made the decision to get married. Finally, they responded in a slight manner that He Bai gave to a female slave and thanked him repeatedly.

On the second day, He Bai summoned them from the team of Ma Shang and Ma Yi, and introduced them to Anova, who had not died in battle, to Anova. With more than a dozen guards that Anova had to use since childhood, he just formed the basic ruling class of He Bai who governed his own tribe slaves.

Two more days later, Tadun pinched his nose and reluctantly pulled his subordinates to He Bai. For Tadun, who had only more than 2,000 tribes, it was a huge move to cut off his flesh. I don’t know how many slaves he had to seize from other tribes to get this number.

Two more days later, after He Bai, Fu Xing, Chengzhang and others sorted out more than 800 slaves under their command, he asked Qiu Liju for his orders: "My father-in-law, He Bai has been grateful to his father-in-law for several months and has no way to repay him. He intends to lead the 800 people to conquer the enemy troops who are unacceptable. I wonder if there is any goal worth He Bai's attack?"

Qiu Liju smiled and stroked He Bai's back, saying, "I feel very relieved to have this kind of heart for the son-in-law. But when the snow season is approaching, I am afraid that the road is difficult. Let's take a rest until next summer and autumn."

He Bai shook his head and said, "The son-in-law is not afraid of the road being difficult, but is afraid of being unable to make a contribution. Besides, when Gongsun Zan is coming to the headquarters, I don't want to meet him, so I will not have any inconvenience. So I want to ask my father-in-law for a tribe that is unsuccessful, and I have some intention of dodging me."

"That's it!" Qiu Liju pondered for a while before saying, "Well, in the Battle of Youbeiping half a year ago, the three tribes of Sangmaha, Kesuoer and Solo retreated for no reason, which caused their troops to be attacked by Gongsun Zan, and the losses were quite large. When these tribes were about to escape, the Sangmaha tribe was destroyed by us, and the Solo tribe was also defeated by Tadun. However, they fled into the territory of the Liaodong vassal state and hid in the Han Dynasty, which was inconvenient for the conquest. However, when Kesuoer tribe went west to Shangjun to join the command of the Wuhuan Captain, they were blocked by the Wuyan tribe in Yuyang. The virtuous son-in-law could go to Yuyang to help Wuyan with his arm."

He Bai pondered for a while and found that there were about five or six hundred miles along the way, just right, so he asked, "I wonder what the relationship between the Wuyan tribe and his father-in-law? Should the son-in-law listen to him or me when he went there."

Qiu Liju smiled and said, "The Wuyan tribe, Suyan Pu tribe 600 miles away from the northeast, and the Nanlou tribe in Shangjun, are all close to our tribes. They are considered brother tribes that were separated from previous generations of our tribes. I have always had a good relationship with these four tribes and have helped each other. The Wuyan tribes are older than you, so you can act according to his orders."
