Chapter 21 Greetings from both parties

The power of the catapult cart had completely defeated the hearts of the Kesuoer people. Before the wall of the village was destroyed, they ran around in horror, and finally opened the gate to surrender. All the people of the village crawled on the ground to welcome He Bai, the great conqueror. Only the fifteen-year-old Lu Lu led more than a dozen people to guard one of the villages and insisted on not surrendering.

According to the rules on the grassland, the male members of the losers' families, as long as they exceed the wheels, will be killed. Only children and women can have the opportunity to survive. Although He Bai is not so cruel, he does not want to be a bad person. After learning that the ruling class of the Kesuoer tribe was basically annihilated, he decided that in addition to unwilling to pardon Lu and others who insisted on surrendering, most of the elderly and weak were demoted to slaves and gave them the opportunity to make meritorious service.

So after the final blow to Lu Lu and others, Ke Suoer's unit was officially taken under He Bai's command.

He Bai and Fu Xing led two hundred elite cavalry to gallop on the field of Beiyouping County. Each man and three horses were extremely fast. Although only two hundred cavalry, they ran out of nearly a thousand cavalry.

He Bai came here because the rebels of Qiu Liju and Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun were confronting Gongsun Zan and more than 10,000 troops from western Liaoning in the region between Youbeiping County and Lingzhi County in western Liaoning. He Bai wanted to bid farewell to Qiu Liju personally. Otherwise, in an era of importance to loyalty and righteousness, once others knew about He Bai's future development would be inconvenient. Therefore, even if he wanted to leave, he had to leave clearly.

Also, the Yan Gang and Yan Ji brothers were not good for themselves because of their power. Gongsun Zan followed the way and made He Bai's reputation a big deal. He needed to explain it to him one by one in front of his army and let him cancel the wanted. Otherwise, He Bai would be guilty of treason and would not be able to hang out on the land of the Han Dynasty.

Before He Bai first came to the Han army's camp, he saw that the Han army built high camps on the border between Youbeiping and western Liaoning, and built them tightly. One thousand people were a camp, with a total of fifteen camps, which were distributed scattered like a plum blossom. The baggage and all military supplies were placed at the center of the plum blossom-shaped camp.

He Bai led two hundred cavalry around the Han army camp outside. There were few Han army posts, so he avoided from afar, but the other four battalions did not react. However, when he approached Gongsun Zan's Beiping Army camp, he heard a cannon sound, and dozens of white horses riding white horses, carrying white armor, carrying bows and spears, chased out quickly from the cavalry.

The general in charge of the leader held a two-edged spear with a loud voice and shouted loudly: "Bold barbarians, how dare they spy on my camp, leave it for me Gongsun Zan!"

I heard that every time I heard the enemy attack, Gongsun Zan immediately spoke fiercely, and when he fought, he seemed to be fighting his enemy, and even fought until late at night. Today, He Bai saw Gongsun Zan's brave appearance as a leader, and finally understood that the records in history books were not bad. Gongsun Zan was very clear about the distinction between national justice and Hu and Han, and he really regarded him as an enemy.

He Bai immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Premier Gongsun, stay here, He Bai and He Tianming of Lingling are here, and there is something to explain to Gongsun Prefect."

Gongsun Zan and others were shocked and suspicious after hearing this. When they saw the familiar figure holding double whips and wearing Han-style iron armor, they believed it. Baima Yicon's charge formation gradually slowed down and stopped outside He Bai's arrow.

When Gongsun Zan saw that it was indeed He Bai, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and shouted: "He Bai, you are a repeated traitor, don't remember that my brother's pampering your sins, nor do you believe that I am worthy of using it for you. You dare to join the Hu barbarians in private. Now you have even attracted the Hu barbarians to join the rebels, raise tens of thousands of troops to invade our Han territory, and harm our Han people. I wish I could eat your flesh and sleep with your skin. Now, what else can you say between you and me?"

He Bai pretended to be angry and shouted: "Gongsun Prefect, the traitor's desire to be punished, so why don't you worry about it? Although I, He Bai, are rude, but I am also a dignified citizen of the Han Dynasty. I was once the deputy commander of Bai Ma Yicong, and my future was bright. Why did I privately betray the Han Dynasty and defect to the barbarians?"

Gongsun Zan shouted: "This matter was seen by Sima Yan Jun and his brother Vice Commander Yan. Otherwise, how would you explain that since that night, the upper and lower parts of the right Beiping army will no longer see you?"

"Of course it is the defilement of Yan Gang and Yan Ji." He Bai shouted in anger, took off his clothes and armor, revealing the arrow that almost penetrated his heart with an arrow.

He immediately stepped forward and showed it in front of Gongsun Zan and others, shouting: "Present Guard Gongsun, please see, that night, He Bai fought bravely to kill Hu, and almost captured Qiu Liju alive, but was injured by a cold armor-breaking arrow shot from the rear. He almost died on the spot, so he was captured by Qiu Liju's tribe. This is not a crime of war, nor is He Bai's original intention..."

The bright red chest-piercing arrow wound on He Bai's back was approaching his ventricle. It was bright red in color. It was indeed a new injury. Gongsun Zan and dozens of white horse Yicong finally believed that He Bai was innocent. Dozens of white horse Yicong said happily: "Prefect, Deputy Commander He is really innocent and has not defected to the Huguan. Lord Prefect, please forgive Deputy Commander He for his crimes and call him back to serve as Deputy Commander Bai Ma Yicong."

Gongsun Zan looked at the happy Baima Yicong coldly, and was displeased. He pointed at the Wuhuan cavalry behind He Bai and said, "Even if you didn't surrender to the Hulu at the beginning, you still surrendered to the Hulu after you were injured. Otherwise, how could so many Hulu come with you?"

He Bai shouted, "Qiu Liju saved me when I was dying. How could He Bai not be loyal and righteous? He Bai was indifferent to this great kindness? He was very happy when he heard that the Wuhuan tribes had surrendered the Han Dynasty and then stayed in his tribe. Unexpectedly, just a few months later, the two thieves Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun of Yuyang rebelled against the Han Dynasty, and the Wuhuan tribes were provoked to rebel again. As a Han Chinese, He Bai felt very depressed and could only find an opportunity to escape from the Qiu Liju tribe and return to the Han area."

Gongsun Zan asked, "Oh, it turns out that you are back from the Han area on this trip, and are you trying to help our army attack the rebels?"

He Bai put on his clothes and armor, bowed and shouted, "No, Qiu Liju has great kindness to me, He Bai, and he once promised him his daughter. He Bai was unwilling to serve him because he rebelled against the Han Dynasty, so he was unwilling to be an enemy of him. He could only come here and ask Gongsun Prefect to eliminate my wanted orders so that I could return to the Han area to find a place to live in seclusion for the people."

Gongsun Zan looked up and down at He Bai, suddenly laughed and said, "It is rare to see you who are so wise and righteous. How can I not respond to me, Gongsun Bogui. As long as you, He Bai, do not rebel against the Han Dynasty with the rebels, after this battle, I will pardon your crimes and recover the wanted order."

He Bai thanked him and said, "Thank you, Gongsun Prefect, He Bai will have a chance to go." In the eyes of the white horses, He Bai bowed and said goodbye one by one, turned around and slapped the horse and left.

He Bai and his party turned to the rebel camp twenty miles northwest. After Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebels wrapped up a large number of young and strong people in Yuyang County, they went from the initial 9,000 people to the current 100,000 people, which was a huge momentum. However, the Wuhuan coalition only had more than 40,000 cavalry.

However, in terms of combat power, the Han rebels are far inferior to the Wuhuan coalition. But from a single force, even the strongest Qiu Liju tribe in Wuhuan could not compare with Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun. Therefore, this rebellion was dominated by Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, who were Han people.

I saw more than 100,000 rebel camps in Hu Han, a group of groups in the east and west, which was clearly divided. It seems that although the two armies rebel against the Han at the same time, they were not consistent and intimate. No wonder they were defeated by the Han army soon after.

He Bai came to the camp of the Wuhuan Alliance, explained the situation to the Wuhuan Army, and asked Qiu Liju to speak. Soon after, more than a dozen cavalry ran out of the camp, and saw Qiu Liju leading more than twenty Wuhuan masters from various tribes in a spirit. Qiu Liju laughed and shouted, "If a virtuous son-in-law comes to help me, I will definitely defeat the Han army."

Seeing Qiu Liju running to him, He Bai bowed and shouted, "My father-in-law, the family of Suoer has been destroyed the day before yesterday. He Bai came to pay the order. However, he also asked his father-in-law to forgive him. He Bai did not come to help his father-in-law this time, but wanted to say goodbye to his father-in-law."

Qiu Liju was shocked and quickly stopped the war horse, and asked in surprise: "What does the wise son-in-law mean?"

He Bai bowed and said, "The reason why He Bai agreed to subdue his father-in-law was based on his father-in-law's subduing the Han court. He Bai helped his father-in-law to help the Han Dynasty. However, his father-in-law rebelled against the Han Dynasty several months later. As a Han Chinese, He Bai felt very depressed. He had no choice but to bid farewell to his father-in-law, and He Bai was going to return to the Han area."

Qiu Liju was shocked and furious and shouted, "He Bai, you are just an unknown Han general. I saved your life, and I promised my daughter and gave you eight hundred tribes to make you like a master Wuhuan. You said, I treat you so kindly, how many people can do it in ancient and modern times, and now you will part ways with me as a Han Chinese. You... you... are so angry..."

He Bai heard this, his old face, which was thicker than the city wall, couldn't help but feel a fever. In the eyes of the Wuhuan people, he was indeed too unfaithful and unrighteous. However, the great rivers and mountains of Han in the Central Plains were waiting for their future to compete for, and this mere Wuhuan land could not be kept. What's more, he was working as a worker rather than being a boss by himself.

He Bai turned over and got off the horse, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed and shouted: "My father-in-law, if Mr. Wang is willing to withdraw his troops and stop rebelling and attacking the Han Dynasty, He Bai is willing to unify the Wuhuan for his father-in-law, attack the Xianbei in the north, and help his father-in-law conquer the desert, and become famous in the future?"

He Bai's words suddenly made others look down upon him. Someone said sarcastically: "Mr. Qiu Liju has such a great ambition. Not only do he want to become the leader of the Wuhuan people in western Liaoning, but he also wants to become the Chanyu of the Wuhuan people in western Liaoning. Invade the Xianbei people in northern China? Conquer the desert? Haha, if this statement was known by the Xianbei and Lianda Shanyu, I wonder how he would treat your troops?"
