Chapter 95 Dealing with Jiehu
A thirty-year-old man named Kehu, about 1.8 meters tall, was held tightly by four soldiers and knelt in front of He Bai. Everyone with a pale face and thin skin, but the person in front of him was developing horizontally, with a huge size, and his arms were full of explosive power. You can tell at a glance that he was a brave man.
However, He Bai was not interested in this person at all, and those who provoked riots were never the ones who were at peace. They were fair in the race, willing to help others, and had a high prestige. They were natural leaders in the clan.
However, he was a talent among the weak Jiehu clan, which made He Bai very disgusted with him. The Jiehu people had no leader. If they were united because of this person, wouldn't it be a big deal to be under his command? Therefore, He Bai didn't look at this person and immediately waved his hand and said, "It's just dragged it out and killed it, what's the matter with it?"
Cheng Qi immediately responded and prepared to be executed. The powerful man from Jiehu was frightened when he heard this. His head was raised with a low voice and struggled vigorously, shouting: "The noble man from Taiyuan, the villain led the riots just to get freedom, not to hurt the noble man. I hope the noble man will be careful and forgive the villain's life."
"Huh?" Han Rong, who was standing beside He Bai, couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this person's appearance. He Bai waved his hand, and the four soldiers dragging back had to pause and ban the Jie Hu again. He Bai asked, "Old Han knows this person?"
Han Rong nodded and said, "I have been in Shangdang for a long time. I heard that there is a sharpshooter among the Jiehu people, named Ye Xun, who can pass through Yang hundreds of steps, which is very powerful. Once I accidentally saw one of them, so I had some impression. This person is Ye Xun."
The powerful man from Jiehu was famous and immediately shouted: "The villain is Ye Xun. The villain's archery skills are unmatched in the clan. Even the Han people in Shangdang cannot find archers who can defeat the villain. If a noble man wants to make achievements, he will inevitably be able to avoid archers like the villain. The villain is willing to surrender to the noble man to serve the work of a dog and a horse. He hopes that the noble man can forgive the villain's life."
He Bai ignored Yexun's name and waved his hand and said, "Since Mr. Han has nothing to do with him, then drag it down and chop it down."
Cheng Qi immediately stepped forward to help the soldiers drag Yege away, who was struggling after being stunned. Han Rong couldn't help but ask curiously: "Lord, Ye Xun's archery technique is indeed powerful. Even if I was unprepared, I would not escape his cold arrow. Although today's incident shocked the lord, it was fortunately unhindered. Since Ye Xun was willing to surrender, why did the lord return..."
He Bai shook his head and said, "If I am not a clan, my heart will be different. If I want to subdue the Jiehu people, I must remove the prestige among the Jiehu people. Otherwise, wouldn't the Jiehu people have a leader in the future, and would turn the other way when I am weak?"
At this time, He Bai couldn't help but think of An Lushan from the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang trusted him to the extreme. The power of the troops and horses in northern China was under his control, but he still could not get his loyalty.
After hearing this, Han Rong remained silent. Because he first joined He Bai, he did not know He Bai's temperament, so he was unwilling to advise He Bai to those who only met him.
Only Luo Pei advised: "Lord, in order to protect himself, the Jiehu people gave him out, and the Jiehu people must hate him deeply. Whether Xun is alive or not, it is difficult to be united with other Jiehu people. The lord often said that there are no good generals under his command, so why not forgive him and use it temporarily..."
After hearing this, He Bai nodded slightly. No matter who it is, if he is betrayed by people of the same clan, he will hate his clan until he dies. Even if he does not die, he will not have any contact with other Jiehu people. After all, there are very few people in the world with broad minds, and Jiehu does not have such a hero at present. Well, let him spare his life.
He Bai said, "Luo Pei, go and see if he is dead. If he is not dead, bring it back."
Luo Pei agreed to leave the tent, and soon took back Yaxun. He Bai snorted coldly and said to Yaxun: "I saw that Ru Jiehu people have a difficult life and it is not easy to live, so I want to support you so that you will not be troubled and bullied. I don't expect that you, a lowly slave, are not ruthless. For your own freedom, you led the crowd to attack me, and made my kindness become disgusting. If you hadn't been given advice, you might have a day to use yours in the future. I also thought that human life is not small and you should not be killed easily. Today, you must be killed."
Ye Xun dared not talk about service again, so he knelt on the ground and bowed: "It turns out that the noble man is the Lord Taiyuan Duwei. Please forgive me for his ignorance. He thought that Lord Duwei was in his heart, so he was afraid that he would want to escape. The notice issued by Lord Duwei had also seen by Master Duwei, but there was no noble man who was so kind and loving among the Han people. Therefore, I was suspicious and unwilling to believe it easily. Today, Lord Duwei was willing to forgive the servants who gathered to cause trouble, and I completely believed in the benevolence of Lord Duwei."
He Bai was stunned. Yes, he forgave Ye Xun this time, not only expressed his broad mind to the outside world, but also got a magic archer, but also made other doubtful Jiehu people completely believe themselves, which would be of great benefit to future management. It seems that the decision just now is not bad.
If Ye Xun was killed just now, the above three benefits would be gone. Instead, they would gain a reputation of being narrow-minded and vindictive. Even other Jiehu people were still frightened and difficult to manage.
He Bai snorted coldly and said, "My benevolence is not to you, but to everyone I come into contact with. Although you will survive this time, you will be punished if you make mistakes, otherwise you will think that I only have benevolence but not majesty. Cheng Qi will take him away and whip him twenty times as a punishment."
Cheng Qi took Ye Xun away again, and soon he heard the sound of whip hitting the flesh outside the tent, and did not hear the screams. It seems that although Ye Xun begged for mercy, he is not a weak person, but he can use it.
After Yexun entered the tent again, he bowed to He Bai and shouted, "Thank you for your life."
He Bai saw that although he gave in his mouth, he was afraid that he would not be convinced. After all, no one who is free and free on weekdays wants to become a slave to others. Even if it is because of his life, it is a temporary surrender. If you deal with people like Ye Xun, you cannot be as polite to him as a Han general. You need to dispel his rebellious nature in order to be useful.
He Bai said again: "Since you call me by your master, I will treat you as a servant. Cheng Qi, take him down to recuperate, and wait until his injury is healed, then lead the horse and hold the whip for me to make the horse-drawn stone."
After Cheng Qi took Yexun away, He Bai said to Luo Pei: "After Jie Hu entered the military camp, he should use military law to bind it. How can he let him live in a mixed and scattered manner and connect freely?"
Luo Pei said in shame: "My subordinates are not good at managing things, so they are negligent."
He Bai nodded and said, "People have strengths and weaknesses. There are very few people with all-round talents in civil and military affairs. This is because I made mistakes in employing people. You can't blame you." After pausing, He Bai said, "There are currently six or seven thousand people in Jiehu, and it seems that it will decrease day by day. I think the people in Jiehu are dressed in rags and thin clothes. Have you ever ordered people to buy some thick clothes?"
Luo Pei shook his head with a red face and said, "This... there is no subordinate."
He Bai said: "You can send people to Qi County and Shangdang Nie County, and be sure to buy 10,000 sets of thick clothes. If you don't have ready-to-wear, buy some fabrics, kapok and needlework, and make them by Jienu. Jienu is very dirty. To prevent epidemics, men and women will be cleaned together tomorrow. In the future, they will wash each other every three days and bathe every five days. Then buy some pigs and sheep and eat them. Soon they will walk thousands of miles to Changshan and Zhongshan, and they need to have strength to complete it."
"In addition, the Jienu slaves should be given ten households as one guarantee, five guarantees as one major guarantee, and ten major guarantees as one capital guarantee, each of which is the private soldiers of Han serve as the security chiefs to manage and supervise them. After arriving in Changshan, they should be dispersed and lived there, so that they should not be allowed to gather together..."
He Bai and Lingling talked about more than ten management matters in a row. After Luo Pei wrote down one by one, he gave up. With the management methods taught by He Bai, Luo Pei could easily lead Jie Nu to Jinyang City. After handing over to Chengzhang who was preparing for the relocation work, there would be no matter for Luo Pei.
He Bai rested in the military camp for a night, and early the next morning, he rode his horse towards Jinyang City. Halfway through, he met a messenger sent by Chengzhang, saying that the envoy from the court had arrived in Jinyang for most of the day and asked He Bai to return to Jinyang City immediately. He Bai and his party quickly whipped and returned to Jinyang City before dark.
He Bai first returned to the Duwei Mansion, finished his bathing under Diao Chan's marquis, and then went to the Taiyuan Prefect's Mansion to pay homage to the court envoy who was temporarily living here. The court envoy named Wang Shou, who was an unknown person in history. He Bai only saw Wang Shou who had not yet rested after offering a ceremony.
Wang Shou asked with a smile: "I heard for a long time that He Duwei is of great talent. All counties and counties in various places have a road that is not clear due to the thieves. Only the roads in Taiyuan are safe. This is all due to He Duwei's achievements."
The Taiyuan Prefect, who was accompanying him, also praised He Bai very much. He Bai immediately gave the Taiyuan Prefect a thank-you look. He Bai has worked with him happily in recent years, so although the two are not old friends, they also have deep feelings.
After thanking the envoy Wang Shou for his praise, He Bai asked, "I don't know that the envoy is coming from Taiyuan, but has any imperial edict from the court sent?"
Wang Shou nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that He Duwei defeated several Black Mountain bandits in November and February last year, and captured and killed tens of thousands of Black Mountain bandits. The court officials were very happy and intended to change Any Duwei to Zhongshan Prefect and specialize in the affairs of Black Mountain bandits. However, the governor of Youzhou and the Marquis of Rongqiu Liu, the governor of Rongqiu, recommended He Duwei to Luoyang as the position of Prosecutor. He also intends to recruit He Duwei to Luoyang as the position of Cavalry Commander. The court was difficult to make a decision for the time being, and I don't know what position He Duwei wanted to take?"
