As the tide of the crusade against Yuan Shu came to an end, Ao Lie led his army back to Liaodong along the coastal route, and then returned to Yanjing by land from Liaodong. Because the situation in Jiangdong has stabilized and Sun Ce has taken control of the overall situation, the naval army led by Gan Ning and Lu Su also returned to Youzhou with Ao Lie.

As soon as he arrived in Yanjing, Li Ru walked over with a piece of tissue paper from Youzhou, on which were written two messages from the Shadow Members. First, Liu Xie had agreed to Ao Lie's protection and let Sun Ce serve as the pastor of Yangzhou and lead Jiangdong, Huainan and other places; The second article made Ao Lie a little surprised, Cao Cao's subordinates Cao Ren and Zang Ba joined forces, at the junction of Qing and Xu, and wiped out the army sent by Yuan Shao to Huainan in a battle, and only led three or four thousand remnants to return to Yecheng, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were all surrendered by Cao Cao, and another 10,000 Yuan troops also surrendered to Cao Cao.

Ao Lie knew that Cao Cao was going to make a move on Yuan Shao, or rather, he was preparing for it. However, before joining forces with Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shao, Ao Lie still had some problems that had to be solved in advance. Although Xianbei in northern Xinjiang has surrendered, its territory has also become the fourteenth state of the Han Dynasty - Gwangju, but it does not mean that since then, northern Xinjiang has been as stable as a mountain, there are still Xiongnu entrenched in the northwest, and those adjacent to the Xiongnu are also Wuhuan people who have been greatly damaged by Ao Lie.

Although the Xiongnu and Wuhuan are not as strong as before because of Ao Lie's suppression, after all, it is also a hidden danger, and if this hidden danger is not removed, Ao Lie has no way to attack Jizhou with peace of mind. The relationship between Yuan Shao and Wuhuan is very good, if when Ao Lie attacked Jizhou, the Wuhuan people were entrusted by Yuan Shao to make some small moves behind their backs, it would be quite troublesome. Therefore, Ao Lie and Cao Cao fought for the initiative in this battle at the beginning, and pinched the time and method of the war into their own hands, just to leave time to completely eradicate Wuhuan and the Xiongnu first.

Night. Ao Lie found Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Li Ru and Xu Shu to discuss the plan against the Xiongnu and Wuhuan overnight. At the beginning, everyone's thinking was on the right path, but after discussion, everyone found a series of problems, so that the matter of conquering Wuhuan and Xiongnu could not go smoothly. After the campaign to pacify the northern frontier, the number of soldiers did not decrease, but increased a lot, which added a part of the number. Most of them are Xianbei warriors after sinicization, although it is a happy thing to have more soldiers who can fight, but various problems have also been exposed.

First of all, there is the issue of the distribution of military salaries and the supply of military rations. The Xianbei people are all brave and good at fighting, and all adult men, with a little training, are good cavalrymen, even if they are the best of the best. With the huge population base of the Xianbei people, there are still 50,000 people who were selected to serve in the army at the last time, and these 50,000 sergeants are paid, equipped, and war-horseed. They need to be raised as soon as possible so that they can be trained into the army as soon as possible. Although in Gwangju, that is, in the former Xianbei territory, Ao Yeol got a large number of cattle and sheep that were frozen to death. Zhuge Liang turned all the valuable things on these cattle and sheep into money and food through the Wantong Chamber of Commerce and the Zhen Chamber of Commerce, but it was only a matter after the relatively generous completion of the internal relocation of the Xianbei people. There was simply not much money and food to feed the 50,000 cavalry.

Secondly, although the Xianbei people gradually integrated into the Han people under a series of relatively peaceful policies, after all, the time is still short, and a complete integration has not yet been formed, if at this time, Ao Lie led the army to leave, it is inevitable that there will be some people with ulterior motives, will take the opportunity to provoke the contradictions between the Han and Xianbei people in the territory, which will inevitably have an impact on Ao Lie's rule and is not conducive to future development.

Again, Ao Lie successively pacified Goguryeo, Buyeo and Northern Xinjiang within a year, many military generals and capable ministers were left in the local area to appease the emotions of the local people and deter Xiaoxiao, such as Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu, Deng Zhi and others, respectively stayed in Buyeo, Goguryeo and other places, and went to Wuhuan and Xiongnu, these fierce generals and capable ministers are indispensable, Ao Lie must find a suitable replacement, let the replacement take over the work of Wei Yan and others.

In addition, Ao Lie also has to leave enough soldiers to guard Yanjing, so that the people can be reassured internally and the territory can be protected externally. Among the Xianbei people who have not yet been completely sinicized, there are still a few extremists, and if they unite with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, it will be a very tricky matter. Therefore, the manpower of this expedition against Wuhuan and Xiongnu cannot be too manpower, and at most a quarter of the entire army can be drawn. In other words, although Ao Lie has an army of 240,000, at most, he can only use 60,000 people. It is really difficult to quickly pacify the Xiongnu and Wuhuan with 60,000 soldiers.

Based on the above reasons, the topic of Ao Lie and others has gradually shifted to policy reform, with the merger of Gwangju under the rule of Ao Lie, the original Governor of the Annexation of the Governorship has obviously been a little unsuitable, and the current situation urgently needs Ao Lie to retain the essence of the original policy, and then add some new decrees into it, so as to promote the stable development of the three states of Ao, Merge and Gwangju.

So, in the next few days, Ao Lie postponed his pre-war preparations and began to discuss the formulation of a new policy with dozens of civil and military officials under his command. In the process of discussion, the most reticent person was Tian Feng, but once he opened his mouth to put forward his opinions, he must have hit the nail on the head and pointed to the crux of the problem, even in the face of Ao Lie's debate, he refused to let go at all, until this issue was properly resolved under repeated consultations of everyone.

Seven days later, a new decree was issued, and now Ao Lie is in charge of the territory of the three states, and will attack the Xiongnu and Wuhuan in the future, so the name of the Governor of Youhe is obviously no longer applicable, and the new decree is named Yanjing Law under everyone's discussion. Ao Lie's political, economic, and military centers are all in Yanjing, and it is indeed appropriate to name the new law after Yanjing. In the Han Dynasty, the scope of the order and the law were very different, and the order could only be used as a law that was passed within a small range, such as the nine prohibitions and eighteen beheadings, which were applied to the army, but could not be used in the people's livelihood. Law, on the other hand, is a general term for laws and regulations that are implemented on a large scale, and only laws that can be called laws can be called laws, or at least laws that are common in the kingdom. Although Ao Lie did not become the king, but the actual power is not much different from the king, Liu Xie also gave him the power of arbitrariness, the power of the governor of the military and political affairs of the three states and the power of opening the government, with these privileges, Ao Lie can legitimately formulate the law without worrying about being condemned by the world, just before the law is implemented. Write a note to Liu Xie, tell him about the implementation of the new law, and let Liu Xie understand the content of the new law.

In the Yanjing Law, several applicable decrees, such as the Nine Prohibitions and Eighteen Beheadings, the Tuntian Order, and the Salt and Iron Order, were retained to ensure strict military orders, promote agricultural production, and completely control salt and iron in the hands of Ao Lie. In addition, a number of laws and regulations that promoted ethnic integration and coordinated development with each other were named Huaxia Decree and officially incorporated into the Yanjing Law. The name Huaxia Ling. It was Ao Lie who called it out himself, except for Ao Lie, no one understood what the word "Huaxia" meant, but since it was Ao Lie's own name, and his attitude was very firm, everyone agreed. The laws of the Huaxia Decree were extremely severe, treating Han Chinese and ethnic minorities such as Xianbei, Buyeo, and Goguryeo equally, and all those who tried to split and integrate the ethnic groups. Those who incite ethnic contradictions and other acts will be severely punished regardless of whether they are Han Chinese or ethnic minorities.

In the new decree law, there is also a decree. It was specially proposed by Ao Lie, and then after being perfected by everyone, it was specially used to restrain the border troops, which was called the border order. The frontier of a country. It is the gateway to the territory of this country, and the soldiers stationed on the frontier must be very loyal and brave to defend this portal. Otherwise, once the foreign enemy invades, the soldiers in charge of garrisoning the frontier, under the temptation of money, beautiful women, etc., relax their vigilance, or directly open the country and let the enemy into their own country, the consequences are unimaginable. As for the proposal of the border order, Ao Lie thought that it was very necessary to formulate the border order after referring to the admirable border troops of later generations, and only then put it forward. Ao Lie wanted to build a border army full of loyalty to the motherland and loyalty to the people like later generations. Only by handing over the country to such soldiers can Ao Lie have no worries. Of course, now Ao Lie is only responsible for the garrison work of the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty, so his border order is only valid for the northern frontier.

Based on simplicity and ease of understanding, after the formulation and promulgation of the Yanjing Law, there were a total of 12 decrees, with a total of 183 small clauses, which was the most concise law in the Han Dynasty. Don't look at the laws and regulations of Yanjing, there are not many laws and regulations, but they have detailed and detailed coverage of all aspects such as military, government, and people's livelihood, so that all the people in the three states of You, He, and Guang have laws to follow when doing anything. It is believed that under the constraints and norms of the Yanjing Law, it will not be long before the territory will become a legal society similar to that of later generations, and no one will go unpunished after committing a crime.

At the same time, Yanjing Law broke the monopoly that had always been the dominant position of the scholar class. Yanjing Law advocates that everyone is equal, even if the scholars break the law, they will also be arrested and questioned, and there is no difference between them and ordinary people, so as soon as Yanjing Law was introduced, it was warmly supported by the common people. Ao Lie is determined to use Yanjing Law as a breakthrough and officially declare war on the Shi clan! The anachronistic system of the scholar clan is not far from being completely abolished. Of course, there is no scholar clan in the three states of You, Merge and Guang, so there is no resistance to the implementation of the Yanjing law, but Ao Lie believes that when the effect of the Yanjing law is gradually brought into play, the Han people living outside the three states will definitely feel that the Yanjing law is a law formulated for the common people, and at that time, a large number of Han people will inevitably move to the territory of the three states.

Different from the reaction of the common people, the scholars outside the three states, after watching the regulations of the Yanjing Law, none of them had a good-looking face, and many people angrily tore the Yanjing Law manuscript in their hands to shreds. However, Liu Xie was an exception, and after watching the terms of the Yanjing law sent by Ao Lie, instead of getting angry, he praised it greatly, and immediately issued an order to try the Yanjing law in the Guanzhong area.

Although Liu Xie can also be regarded as one of the representatives of the scholar clan, but the Han is now very decadent, Liu Xie, the nominal son of heaven, can actually control the place, and only the areas near the two cities of Luoyang and Chang'an, after several tribulations, Liu Xie has already seen very clearly, power or something, he has long been out of his mind, as long as the blood of the Han can continue, the people of the Han can live a better life, Liu Xie will be content.

After the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants and Dong Zhuo, there was no decent Dashi clan in the Guanzhong area, and when Liu Xie beheaded Wang Yun, he also took the opportunity to pull out some tumors, which made the Shi clan in this area suffer a certain blow, so the Yanjing law was also smoothly promulgated and implemented in the Guanzhong area. Liu Xie's unintentional move laid a certain foundation for future reunification in advance. (To be continued......)
