Regarding the matter of sealing the king, Ao Lie personally wrote a letter back to Liu Xie, indicating that he was already a supreme minister and was not suitable for a larger position. Moreover, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has never been a king with a different surname, although Ao Lie is an authentic Han family relative, not a relative, but after all, it has been changed to a foreign surname, and it is really a bit out of place to be crowned king.

In the next two months, Liu Xie's edict and Ao Lie's recital were passed back and forth between Luoyang and Tongzhou. Liu Xie asked Ao Lie very earnestly and again if he was willing to be crowned king, but Ao Lie repeatedly refused, and always refused to accept Liu Xie's canonization. In desperation, Liu Xie had no choice but to suspend the title of king of Ao Lie.

The reason why Ao Lie did this was because he didn't want to tell the truth, so as not to be named a bully by someone like Liu Bei. Like Liu Bei, there are many people who are superficially benevolent and moral, but in fact harbor evil intentions, they are greedy for utilitarianism, but they can't get the expected utilitarianism, and they will be jealous of some people who are more successful than them, such as Ao Lie. As a result, verbal slander, but under their hypocritical pretenses, there are many people who don't know why will listen to their words, thus forming a pressure of public opinion, which will have a certain negative impact on Ao Lie.

Another point, Ao Lie knows that Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, now he sits on the five northern states, and he is already the first person among the princes in the world, and he is dissatisfied with himself or afraid of his own people, there are many people, if he is crowned king, it will definitely become the fuse that ignites the dissatisfaction in the hearts of those people, even if it is Cao Cao, who has agreed with Ao Lie on the alliance strategy, maybe he will turn to stand in his own right, Ao Lie does not want to be isolated, let alone become the target of the public, so the matter of sealing the king, Naturally, he insisted on not accepting it.

And from Ao Lie's heart. He also doesn't pay much attention to the king or not, the current Ao Lie has a strong army, and there are countless excellent soldiers under his rule, and they can be conscripted into the army at any time and transformed into elite soldiers, and the military strength is particularly strong, as well as the privilege of opening the government, and as the governor of the capital, he leads the military and political affairs of the five northern states, such an identity and status. What's the difference with a king? It's just a false name missing a throne. In his previous life, Ao Lie was just an explorer who loved treasure hunting, although he embarked on the road of joining the army in this life because of his family, but in his heart, Ao Lie still longed for a quiet life. and so on, laying the Qing Dynasty and unifying the territory of the Han Dynasty. Maybe Ao Lie will hand over the country to Liu Xie. Or a more capable person to manage, and go to the famous mountains and rivers to live happily, who cares about the throne or not?

Just when Ao Lie and Liu Xie were communicating back and forth, Lu Su came to Tongzhou with 30,000 Han troops a month ago and officially took office. At the same time, Lusu also brought a large number of craftsmen and some florists to prepare for the planning and construction of Tongzhou. The construction of cities and towns in densely populated areas can not only strengthen the defense of the people of Tongzhou, but also promote cultural exchanges and integration between ethnic groups. Those florists were specially ordered by Ao Lie to be brought by Lu Su. The intention is to let them choose a place where the desert is rich in water and grass, plant a large number of flowers and trees, implement greening, and prevent desertification of the land. As a traverser, Ao Lie's awareness of environmental protection is still very strong.

In addition, there are 20,000 Wuhuan people, some Goguryeo and Buyeo people, and even some enlightened Han people, who also came to the desert with the army of Lusu, and they are willing to settle down in the desert and jointly build the desert and build the desert into a new Tongzhou. The arrival of these people also added vitality to the barren desert and gave a desert covered with yellow sand hope for reconstruction.

After the arrival of Lu Su, the first thing was to let the craftsmen bring to build a city near Wolf Juxu Mountain, and after that, this is the administrative center of Tongzhou. After the construction of the Wolf Juxu City is completed, Lusu will also build two more big cities in Qilian Mountain and Yanzhi Mountain respectively for the people in the territory to live, and then build some small towns one after another, so that more people who live on nomadism can have a solid and stable residence and get rid of backward production methods.

At the same time of building the city, Lu Su had to go around among the Hun captives every day, chat with them about some family life, discuss the production and breeding of cattle and sheep and other trivial topics, and imperceptibly infiltrate the customs of the Han people into the conversation little by little, so that the Huns are gradually full of yearning for the life of the Han people, many old people and children, under the influence of Lu Su, voluntarily devote themselves to the construction of the city, and do their part for the homeland they are about to have, and those Hun women are spontaneously gathered together. Through the limited food distributed to them, they were processed and improved, and the food with a strong Xiongnu flavor was cooked, which was sent to the busy construction site to reward the sweaty craftsmen. Through such a detail, the mutual hatred between the Han and the Xiongnu was gradually erased, and in Tongzhou, they united and worked together to build a common homeland.

After that, Lu Su promulgated the laws of Tongzhou, and all the rules and regulations were strictly implemented in accordance with the laws of Yanjing. Under the early efforts of Lu Su, the promulgation and implementation of the Yanjing Law did not encounter any obstacles, and in just one month, it replaced the original customs of the desert and became the only legal code in Tongzhou.

With the passage of time and Lu Su's efforts, hundreds of thousands of captured Huns no longer called themselves Huns, opened their hearts and began to accept Sinicization, and worked hard to integrate themselves into the customs of the Han people. Seeing that Lu Su had solved the hidden danger of the Huns in such a short time, Ao Lie, Zhuge Liang and others were amazed, and at the same time, they were also released from the custody of the Huns and let them move freely.

Another month passed, and Ao Lie felt that everything in Tongzhou, under Lu Su's care, had been on the right track, and began to develop in an orderly manner, so he completely relieved himself and decided to return to Yanjing. The biggest enemy in front of Ao Lie is still Yuan Shao, and it is impossible for Ao Lie to delay too much time in Tongzhou.

A few days later, Ao Lie took the 40,000 Han troops who lived in the aftermath of the war, as well as nearly 100,000 Huns from Yufuluo and Huchuquan, and embarked on the road back to Yanjing. Just a few days after leaving, the Shadow members sent an explosive message to Ao Lie. Cao Cao finally used troops in Xuzhou, he took revenge for his father, led an army of 100,000 to storm Xuzhou, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian fought with illness, lost troops in successive battles, and was extremely depressed. On the ninth day of the confrontation between the two armies, he vomited blood in the city of Xuzhou and died. Without Tao Qian, Xuzhou's military spirit would be dispersed, and Cao Cao's conquest of Xuzhou would only be within ten days.

The timing of Cao Cao's raid on Xuzhou this time was very good, and Ao Lie led the army to the north, not in Yanjing; Liu Bei fled south in a hurry and defected to Liu Biao; Yuan Shao was indecisive and missed the opportunity; Sun Ce led Jiangdong at the beginning, and his strength was not stable. Several of the princes who posed the greatest threat to Cao Cao were not in the best condition, giving Cao Cao such a great opportunity to expand his territory. What is ridiculous is that Liu Bei, who cherishes his reputation on the surface, shamelessly proceeds from the position of righteousness. wrote a letter to Cao Cao to dissuade Cao Cao from attacking Xuzhou. As everyone knows, who was the first to escape from Xuzhou. For Liu Bei's mantis arm as a car. Cao Cao naturally ignored it, didn't even bother to look at the letter, and directly tore Liu Bei's letter to shreds in front of the messenger, which was equivalent to a heavy slap in Liu Bei's face. After the incident, Liu Bei didn't react either. Seeing Cao Cao storming Xuzhou, he did not even send symbolic reinforcements.

Nominally, Cao Cao beat Xuzhou to avenge his father, and no one can say that what he did was wrong. It is a matter of course to avenge his father, and Cao Cao's father Cao Song did die at the hands of Tao Qian's subordinate Zhang Min. In this regard, Ao Lie could only let out a long sigh, but he could not stop Cao Cao's attack. However, Ao Lie still wrote a private letter to Cao Cao, in which he did not dissuade Cao Cao from attacking the city, but only persuaded Cao Cao not to vent his personal hatred on ordinary people, and not to carry out things such as slaughtering the city after conquering Xuzhou. In history, Cao Cao did massacre Xuzhou, one was to vent his revenge for killing his father, and the other was that he did not have so much food to feed the prisoners of war.

In view of this, Ao Lie specially wrote this letter to Cao Cao, and while persuading, he also said that if Cao Cao was short of food, he could send some Xuzhou people to Youzhou, and Ao Lie would send his subordinates to receive these people, so as to reduce the burden on Cao Cao. Ao Lie couldn't save Xuzhou thousands of miles away, but he still tried his best to save the people of Xuzhou. Ao Lie believes that Cao Cao will definitely attach great importance to his own opinions, and will never despise Liu Bei as much as he does, because Cao Cao wants to eliminate Yuan Shao, and he will also rely on Ao Lie's strength.

As Ao Lie expected, a few days later, before Ao Lie's army reached Yanjing, the Shadow Members once again came with the news that Xuzhou had been conquered by Cao Cao. After the city was broken, Cao Cao still carried out a large-scale massacre for a whole day, which reduced the number of soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou by 100,000, but because Ao Lie's letter was delivered in time, Cao Cao weighed it again and again, listened to Ao Lie's advice, did not let the massacre continue, and spread Ao Lie's letter to the counties of Xuzhou, telling the soldiers and civilians in the territory that it was Ao Lie's letter that saved them.

As for why Cao Cao wanted to spread Ao Lie's letter to the Quartet and use his cruelty to show Ao Lie's benevolence, Cao Cao also had a deep meaning, on the one hand, this could deter the Xuzhou soldiers and let them know that their lives were in Cao Cao's hands at any time, and then they never dared to have the slightest resistance to Cao Cao's orders; On the other hand, Cao Cao recruited 130,000 old and weak people in Xuzhou, gave them five days' rations, and let them go north to Youzhou. While demonstrating Ao Lie's benevolence, he rightfully threw this group of old and weak to Ao Lie, Cao Cao wanted this group of old and weak to consume Ao Lie's food and add a burden to Ao Lie.

Although Ao Lie saw through Cao Cao's intentions, he still issued an order on the march, asking Xun Yu and others sitting in Youzhou to send men and horses to receive this group of old and weak. Unlike Cao Cao's view, Ao Lie believes that everyone has their own value. For those old people, the so-called family has an old man, if there is a treasure, the old man's experience and perception of life is far from being comparable to the young; As for those weak children, that represents the future, Ao Lie has no reason to turn away the young and strong in the future, some of them are likely to grow into the backbone or even elite soldiers under Ao Lie's command in the future; There are also some of these women, Ao Lie does not have a patriarchal mind, where there are women, there will be life, and women are the creators of life. Therefore, Ao Lie plans to take over all these 130,000 old and weak, and then resettle them in Mingzhou or Tongzhou, which just so happens to lack population. These 130,000 homeless Han people are bound to regard Tongzhou and Mingzhou as their own homes, and together with the people there, they will do their best to build their own homes, and strive to make Mingzhou and Tongzhou catch up with other Han states economically.

Xun Yu also carried out Ao Lie's order thoroughly, and immediately asked Tai Shici, who had just returned to Yanjing not long ago, to meet these refugees by land, and at the same time asked Gan Ning to drive thirty large ships along the coast to meet them. Strive to bring these 130,000 refugees back to Youzhou as soon as possible. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: Ao Lie insisted that he was not crowned king, but this is just an episode on the road to unification, and in the end he will be crowned king, and when Yuan Shao is solved, the time is almost ripe, let's witness the moment when Ao Lie is crowned king! Dakun once again expressed his gratitude to his friends for their support. The World Cup is coming, but unfortunately there is no Chinese team, Beckham said that China will win the championship one day, hopefully.
