Chapter 73: Crossing the Mountains

After hearing what He Bai said, everyone was deeply moved. If He Bai really did what he said just now, it would be truly selfless. He Bai, the lord, could treat everything in the army as public property and not seek personal gain, so there would be no reason for the generals under his command.

Because of the common principles in this world, a lord of a force has absolute ownership of everything in this force. The lord also has all rights to his subordinates, such as rewards and punishments, imprisonment, expulsion, beheading, etc. The subordinates give their loyalty, strength, blood, sweat and even life to the lord in exchange for his reward.

Because the lord holds countless times more power, wealth, and status than the subordinates, and the purpose of the subordinates to defect to the lord is to help the lord develop and strengthen his power, so as to get the rewards, status and power he wants from the lord's power. The lord also has the power to seize the rewards, status and power he has at any time and the right to kill the subordinates who are too powerful.

I don’t want to have a different way of dealing with He Bai here than others. It is that everything under He Bai’s name belongs not only to He Bai, but also to everyone under this force. He Bai has no absolute power for everything, only relative power. Everyone has power over this force, but the size of the position and the rights and responsibilities are different, but they all have significant responsibilities.

On the surface, He Bai's actions are a matter of giving up his absolute power and wanting to share all the rights of his power with his subordinates and generals. To put it simply, He Bai and the generals are not only a relationship between the master and the slave, but also a relationship between collaborators, or a relationship between major shareholders and small shareholders.

Although this statement is fresh, He Bai's ambition is very good. If people in the world can have less selfishness and more public intentions, I believe that the world will not be as turbulent as it is now.

He Bai has not yet expressed his ambition to dominate the world, and the generals have no reason to oppose He Bai's public aspirations. Wanruohe Bai can become one of the three dukes in the court in the future, the generals who follow He Bai will not only be He Bai's family generals, but may even be the minister of the Han court with He Bai.

After all the generals understood, they immediately bowed their heads and shouted: "The lord is selfless, and we admire you. We swear to follow your lord's command to the death and strive for your lord's ambitions for life. Even if you die, you will not complain. You will not have two thoughts and think about him."

He Bai happily helped everyone up with barefoot, and expressed his own ideas one by one, clarifying the division between public and private forces of this force. Everyone in the entire army has power and everyone has responsibility. He Bai is no longer the only master, everyone in the entire army is the master. However, He Bai is the leader of the army and has relatively concentrated jurisdiction. Like everyone, he can enjoy everything brought by this force, but cannot be randomly assigned to his personal use.

To put it bluntly, all this is just He Bai's misunderstanding. He Bai just changed his concept and made the generals mistakenly think that he was also a small shareholder of this power and no longer just a worker. Who said that in the future company bosses, the company belongs to everyone, not to him alone, but when did the company really belong to a worker again?

Now He Bai said this, just to deceive the ancients without knowledge. This way, it can eliminate the generals' selfish behavior of hiding the bottom of his power. If someone dares to disobey, He Bai can use the great name of seizing the public's property to deal with him. It is no longer a simple rebellion to summarize.

The previous rebellion was only related to the lord, but not to everyone. Maybe the betrayer would have sex with everyone. Betrayer could be said to be justified, but the lord may not be right. The current rebellion is not just about betrayering the lord, but about everyone, and also about the entire group. As betrayers, they must consider this serious consequence clearly, at least the reason needs to be sufficient.

However, in this way, the generals' desire to fight for this power has become stronger, but their feelings for He Bai are no longer the meaning of the master and the subordinate, but the collaborative relationship of the master and the subordinate. This is also a major disadvantage of He Bai's lack of noble family background, especially the lack of loyal and loyal retainers and soldiers for several generations.

Just like the Sun Wu forces of the Three Kingdoms, the soldiers were generals, and the Lord Wu did not have much jurisdiction over the general's troops. If you have any matters, you can only issue them to the generals. You cannot surpass the level, and you cannot force the general's troops to seize the general's troops.

This is a helpless act by an emperor from a commoner. Without a noble family background, it is difficult for others to truly surrender. Just like the later five surnames and seven families, even the royal princess of the Tang Dynasty were not as noble as their daughters. He Bai could not value family background, but the locals living in this world attached great importance to it, believing that people with noble family backgrounds were born to be the candidates for the lord.

Just like Cao Pi during the Three Kingdoms, if he wanted to become emperor, it was much more difficult than Liu Bei, who was also from the Han Dynasty. He secretly made many concessions, so that the ministers agreed to this matter. Liu Bei took it for granted him. However, Liu Bei was a lot more natural, and the ministers had an agreement rate of 80% to 90%. As for Sun Quan, Jiangdong's strength was good, but did anyone take him seriously? Those who unified the world's momentum and fame still looked at Shu Wei, while Sun Wu was just a soy sauce. So He Bai had no choice but to follow the local customs.

There are both advantages and disadvantages in this matter, but in general, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. In the future, when the world is in a state of great stability, if the generals are still unrestrained and unrestrained, He Bai will inevitably follow the actions of Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, all this is just for the stability of the country.

As for He Bai's background and family background, whether to find a noble person to be his ancestor, He Bai thought about it and wanted to do so. First, he was not used to it and did not like it. Second, He Bai, who has the knowledge and experience of later generations, has the confidence to eliminate the inconvenience caused by family background. It is nothing more than a question of ideological change, which is not a big problem for He Bai.

Fu Xing bowed his hands and said in a deep voice: "We already know the lord's public intention, but the wealth of Yan's family seized by Youbeiping County was a long time ago. The participants were basically the lord's slaves, so the more than 100 million yuan should be the lord's private wealth, but they cannot be used as public use."

He Bai waved his hand and said, "My family only has a few wives and concubines, children, and how much money can a mere dozen people need. The salary paid by the court is enough for my family to use. All the excess money will be used for public use."

The generals were convinced again and said, "The lord is really selfless, and I admire him."

He Bai couldn't help but feel sad. The more than 300 million yuan was just a small fortune. He also had a huge fortune from auctioning 3,000 hectares of land. It was the money obtained from the Taiyuan Prefecture in private. It was not through the army and was hidden in the Duwei Mansion, so the generals didn't know that the money had hundreds of boxes, which was his real private money.

The army is actually its own, and it will also conquer the world for itself in the future. It may also use this money in the future, but at that time, it will also take selfless measures to be devoted to the public and subsidize the public with private money.

After sitting down again, everyone's respect for He Bai was already heartfelt. They were extremely honest with He Bai's feelings, their eyes were clear, full of prospects for the bright future of their power and the joy of participating in it. It seems that a slogan that everyone is the master of their own is indeed very touching and inspiring people to strive for progress. This loyalty is at least over a hundred, and it will never be reduced for life.

Early the next morning, the army was divided into three, and then they went to their respective places. He Bai, Li Ping, and the two generals of Chengqi, followed Hu Dacheng and another old soldier and headed north along the path covered by heavy snow in the mountains.

Along the way, the army drank thirsty and ate fried noodles hungry, and slept in the snow. He Bai walked with the soldiers and stayed together, setting an example to make the soldiers feel warm and tireless. What is it?

He Bai stood in the snow, holding the tree trunk, and looking at the soldiers circling ants in the mountains, feeling deeply. The soldiers at this time were so tough, and they were countless times stronger than their soldiers in the later generations. If he hadn't been through two years of hard training by Brother Dian Wei, he might not be able to compare with them.

Think about the fact that Cao Cao and Liu Bei in history are both known for their perseverance and perseverance in battles. Although they have been defeated repeatedly, they can finally stand up again and admire them. I don’t know how they grew up?

Cao Cao was a noble child, and Liu Bei was also a rich and slutty man, who was good at home and had no special training, so how could he get the spirit of perseverance? After thinking about it, he could only say that they were genius.

They are all people with great ambitions with the ability and mind to unify the world. Unfortunately, they are in the same time, space and the same era. In the end, they can only have one of the three parts of the world, which has led to a confrontation between China and the south for nearly a hundred years. They lost their precious rest time and were taken advantage of by ethnic minorities after the Eight Kings Rebellion.

In this life, I have come. Although I am not stronger than them in terms of ability and mind, my vision and thought are much stronger than them. As long as I have territory to develop, most of the world can be determined within ten years and will never be dragged to the point of the Three Kingdoms.

He Bai and Hu Dacheng were the first to climb over a long frozen cliff. The cliff was dozens of meters high, and the cliffs under their feet were only one foot or five wide on average. In addition, the frozen stone surface was smooth as a mirror, and it was very difficult to walk through.

Looking at the soldiers behind each ten people who tied a hemp rope to protect each other, they were climbing carefully one by one. He Bai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked, "How far is it to get to Duxiang?"

Hu Dacheng wiped his old face, looked around, pointed to a small mountain peak several miles away and said, "Come to see Duxiang. If you reach Duxiangcheng, there will be about twenty miles of mountain roads and ten miles of flat roads."

"That is to say, it's less than forty miles away?" He Bai nodded, turned around and shouted at the cliff: "Brothers, hurry up, and have a few miles of road up the mountain to go down the mountain. We can try to leave this ghost mountain within today and return to the plain."

"Oh..." The soldiers who climbed the cliff did not dare to respond loudly, but said oh. He Bai stood back in front of the cliff and responded to the soldiers one by one. Cheng Qi's troops were ahead. When Li Ping's troops arrived, more than an hour had passed.

The responder was also a hard work. He Bai couldn't help but wiped the sweat beads and was about to call Cheng Qi to take over. Suddenly, a tall and thin soldier who was climbing suddenly fell in front of He Bai's eyes, and the two soldiers connected nearby were immediately taken down together.

Seeing this scene, He Bai's heart suddenly lifted up and almost jumped out of his chest. Just when He Bai was shocked, Hou Cheng, who was in the middle section, squatted down, grabbed the rope on his waist with his left hand, and grabbed a protruding rock with his right hand. Together with the six soldiers behind him, he stopped the falling momentum.

He Bai looked at the three screaming soldiers who were hanging by the ropes for a long time, and it was difficult to use force at this angle. If they were saved, maybe Hou Cheng and seven other soldiers were taken down together. If they were saved... He Bai looked at Hou Cheng, and the appointment of Wang had not been completed yet.

At this moment, Li Ping shouted loudly on the other side of the cliff: "Son-in-law, son-in-law, that's a lady, that's a lady."

He Bai was shocked and looked at him. Sure enough, the tall and thin soldier at the bottom looked like Ma Xueer. But her voice was hoarse and her screams were not like female voices, so He Bai could not notice it for a moment.

He Bai had no time to ask Ma Xueer why she was here, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, throw out the rope and let the three people under the cliff catch them. I'll pull them up here."

The soldiers who passed by immediately untied the ropes on their bodies and connected them into a long one. Cheng Qi carried them back and fell down. After the three of them were tied up, they then put the long ropes back to the safe place. Dozens of soldiers stood together and pulled them hard. With Hou Cheng's mind calm, they finally pulled the three of them up successfully. After a while of a rush, the ten people successfully climbed over the cliff.

He Bai looked at Hou Cheng, who was pale in front of him and was exhausted, and his heart was very complicated. He was a subordinate who was truly famous in history, and his feelings were both love and resentment. Love was because he was famous in history, and resentment was because he was resentful. But he was just a second- and third-rate general, so why would he not be willing to tame himself?

Regarding the request of the Wang family in Taiyuan, He Bai was determined to abandon Hou Cheng after he got the little Diao Chan. He Bai didn't feel that it was a pity for a subordinate who refused to tame him and always thought about standing on the mountaintop. Anyway, he was not a first-class general, and He Bai didn't care about gains and losses anymore.

However, when He Bai was about to use this battle to solve it, Hou Cheng helped himself save his concubine Ma Xueer's life. Although he was just saving himself at that time, He Bai, who valued relative feelings, still accepted his affection and was not convenient to deal with him for the sake of Wang.
