Ao Lie ordered people to build three houses for Zhuge Liang's sisters and brothers in the suburbs of Nanyang, and before the houses were built, Zhuge Liang's sisters and brothers temporarily lived in the Taishou Mansion.

After getting along with each other in the Taishou Mansion for more than ten days, Ao Lie and Zhuge Liang gradually developed admiration for each other through gradual in-depth understanding. Ao Lie found that he underestimated Zhuge Liang, even if he was not taught by Pang Degong, Zhuge Liang's talent can be called extraordinary, there is a kind of person who is born with a demon, and can be self-taught in a certain field, and then reach the point where others are beyond the reach of others. Obviously, Zhuge Liang is this kind of person, he has far more wisdom than ordinary people in the fields of governing the country and the army, and even arranging troops. In fact, strictly speaking, Ao Lie himself can also be classified into this category of people, and his talent in martial arts is even more demonic than that of a demon.

And Zhuge Liang admired Ao Lie, in addition to Ao Lie's principles of dealing with the world, treating people kindly and thinking about the people's character, but also by Ao Lie's vast talent as the sea, any sentence may be full of deep meaning, the starting point of looking at the problem is often novel, and the most difficult way to solve the problem is often unexpected but can receive good results.

In the short period of ten days, the tacit understanding between the two has grown rapidly, and the friendship has reached the critical point that can be reached so far, almost talking about everything, and even often talking about late at night, and then the two of them fell asleep on the same bed.

Ten days later, a letter from Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao came, in which he was willing to recommend Zhuge Liang to study under Pang Degong, and after preliminary inquiry, Pang Degong also agreed to the matter.

After receiving Liu Biao's letter, Zhuge Liang was reluctant to say in his heart, now he is really a little reluctant to leave Ao Lie, not only because his sister and younger brother are by Ao Lie's side, but more importantly, now Zhuge Liang has regarded Ao Lie as a mentor and friend, and he is reluctant to separate.

Ao Lie was naturally very reluctant in his heart, but Ao Lie, who has always been outstanding in the overall situation, still reluctantly helped Zhuge Liang pack his bags, and then personally sent Zhuge Liang out of Wancheng and sent him to the border of Nanyang County, and then said goodbye to Zhuge Liang. Ao Lie understands that Zhuge Liang's main task at present is to study, if he is not allowed to study, but to keep him by his side, it is simply killing chickens and taking eggs, such a stupid thing, Ao Lie can't do it.

Soon after Zhuge Liang left, the houses in the suburbs were also built, and Zhuge Ling and Zhuge both moved to the suburbs to live. Every three or five days, Ao Lie would always go over to take a look, and if he found anything that the two sisters and brothers needed, he would send someone to send it the next day. The care of Zhuge Ling and her brother is almost to the extent of meticulousness, which makes the sister and brother very grateful.

In his free time, Ao Lie once again devoted himself to exploring talents, but unexpectedly, the first capable person who came to take refuge in him was not found by himself, but sent to the door by himself.

At that time, Ao Lie was watching the sergeants train at the military academy field, and a man wearing ordinary soldier's armor walked up to Ao Lie and asked to join Ao Lie's command. This soldier made Ao Lie very curious, and after asking, he learned that this person turned out to be Wei Yan Wei Wenchang, who was famous in history!

In history, it is rumored that Wei Yan has a backbone in the back of his head, and no matter who he serves, he will rebel in the future. But Ao Lie, who has carefully studied the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, knows that the Tao is not the same thing, Wei Yan's martial arts can be called the first military general in the late Three Kingdoms, and he is extremely proud, and he often speaks out, which makes the people who use him full of doubts, and secretly restrains him.

But Ao Lie does not have these scruples, first of all, Ao Lie is a later generation, and the concept of equality for everyone in later generations has always been hidden in Ao Lie's heart, and he will not resent Wei Yan's few verbal complaints and not use him; Secondly, Ao Lie has self-confidence, and the best way to convince Wei Yan to do things for himself and impress proud people is to surpass him in the field he is best at, whether it is on martial arts or leading troops to fight, Ao Lie is above Wei Yan, which makes Wei Yan happy and convinced; Again, Wei Yan is a person with a very heavy sense of fame, a little similar to his uncle Wang Yue, to put it bluntly, he is an official fan, Ao Lie is a hussar general, a champion marquis, and also has the power to open the palace and the three divisions, and he can freely appoint and dismiss the officials under his command, which is very tempting for Wei Yan, and the rules for Ao Lie's appointment are that regardless of background, just look at ability, how much ability you have, how much official position you will give you, Wei Yan just defected to Ao Lie, and was awarded the position of Yamen general, which also made Wei Yan overjoyed, He has even more respect for Ao Lie.

After Wei Yan, another person was also sent to the door, and this person was recommended by Ao Lie's father-in-law, Cai Yong. Cai Yong was afraid that Ao Lie would be lonely in Nanyang, so he recommended one of his former students. This person's name is Gu Yong, the character is sighing, he is a native of Wu County, he studied under Cai Yong for ten years in his early years, and he is like a father and son with Cai Yong. After getting Cai Yong's letter of recommendation, Gu Yong didn't hesitate at all, so he ran to Wancheng to join Ao Lie. Ao Lie naturally also knows the name of Gu Yong, who was the pillar of the country in the middle and late period of Eastern Wu in history, served as prime minister for 19 years, and was a very outstanding political and domestic affairs talent.

After Ao Lie saw Gu Yong, he was also infinitely happy, and immediately granted him the position he was engaged in, responsible for managing the affairs of Nanyang County.

What made Ao Lie even more overjoyed was that after Gu Yong came, he also wrote a letter to his friend Lu Su, asking Lu Su to come to Nanyang to have a look. At that time, Lu Su was the strong man of Linhuai County, after receiving Gu Yong's letter, he came to Nanyang to stay for a few days, secretly observed the people's feelings, and saw that Ao Lie won the hearts of the people, and was a master who could be entrusted with life, so he returned to Linhuai to scatter all his wealth, all of which were exchanged for weapons and grain and grass, and filled thirty carts to take refuge in Ao Lie.

After a long talk between Ao Lie and Lu Su, Lu Su was immediately appointed as a guest of the curtain to coordinate the dispatch between civil and military officials.

In the next half a year, Ao Lie only put forward the general policy of governing Nanyang, and then completely delegated power to Gu Yong and Lu Su, who carried out detailed verification and supplementation of Ao Lie's policy, and then with the help of Wu Qiong and others, Ao Lie's policy was implemented flawlessly.

With the efforts of everyone, Wancheng has restored its original prosperity, and the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment, becoming one of the few rare paradises in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After half a year of governance, Ao Lie's reputation in Nanyang has flourished day by day, and many people have come to take refuge, among which the people who have left their names in history are Deng Zhi, Deng Bomiao, Dong and Dong Youzai, Jiang Wan, Jiang Gongyan, three civil ministers, in addition to Li Yan and Li Zhengfang, who are both civil and military. These people are recorded in the history books of later generations, and they are all famous and capable people. According to the records of the historical books and the personal test of them, Ao Lie arranged them to suitable positions respectively, so that they could show their strengths in the field they were good at.

It's the annual meeting again, and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao summoned officials from all over the country to Xiangyang for a rally. Ao Lie used to often participate in this kind of occasion, after all, he was the Taishou of Youbeiping, how could he be missing him at the annual meeting at the end of the year? It's just that this year's annual meeting is different from the past. In the past, Ao Lie attended the annual meeting in Youzhou, and Youzhou Mu was his father Liu Yu, but this year he will participate in Jingzhou, and the host is Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.

For this reason, Ao Lie deliberately selected a jade pendant from the secret treasure of Guangwu, which has the effect of prolonging life, and long-term wear can slow down the aging of the human body.

Putting the jade pendant in a beautiful box, Ao Lie set off with Zhao Yun and twenty elites of the Blood Killing Battalion. All the way to the south, Ao Lie and his party quickly whipped up, and after a few days of travel, they entered the boundary of Xiangyang.

As soon as you enter Xiangyang, you can feel the atmosphere of the annual party, the streets are full of small vendors selling all kinds of things, and the bustling crowd is like the Yangtze River that will never stop flowing.

Slowing down the speed of the horse, Ao Lie and the others slowly walked forward while curiously watching the various items sold by the vendors. Suddenly, a group of people came running from the other side at great speed, not caring for the crowd on the street. The first person has a fierce face, wearing a brocade robe, with his chin raised high, looking at people with the corner of his eye, giving people a feeling of invincibility.

After seeing this person, Ao Lie couldn't help but feel unhappy for a while, speaking of which can make Ao Lie take the initiative to hate someone for no reason, except for Yuan Shu, who is arrogant and arrogant to the level of idiocy in the Yuan family, this unknown person in front of him can be regarded as the first.

Suddenly, a child with an innocent smile crossed the street, and she seemed to be looking at the doll in her hand with all her attention, not noticing at all the galloping horses that were running towards her at high speed not far away. Ao Lie, who was in the distance, naturally saw the tragedy that was about to happen, and hurriedly shouted: "The knight on the other side is stop!" ”

The group of people galloping on the opposite side didn't seem to hear Ao Lie's shouts at all, and they still ran wildly, rushing straight towards the little girl.

Seeing that the little girl was about to die tragically under the horse's hooves, at this critical moment, a sharp arrow whistled and flew through, piercing the head of the leader's horse, and the remaining sharp arrow, with great strength, pierced through the horse's head, and then pierced into the head of the other horse.

It's a two-pronged approach! Ao Lie immediately analyzed that the archery skills of the archers were already one of the pinnacles of the world in this world.

The arrows were shot through the heads of the two horses one after another, and the galloping horse team immediately became confused, and the horses, frightened, lifted their front hooves one after another, and the people stood up. Some knights, who were almost good at riding, were suddenly overturned and dismounted, and fell to the ground.

A man in his fifties flashed out on the street corner, quickly came to the street, picked up the little girl in a stunned state, and then retreated to a safe distance.

Ao Lie secretly observed this big man, his temples and beard were already gray at about fifty years old, but his eyes were still hesitant and sharp like a middle-aged man, and he was carrying a large strong bow behind his back, which looked very majestic.

The leader who was riding on the horse before got up on the ground, with a pair of triangular eyes scattered with ferocity, staring fiercely at the big man holding the little girl, and said in a deep voice: "This will be Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu, who are you who dare to shoot arrows at this general?" Could it be that he intended to assassinate Ben Jiang? ”

In just one sentence, the big man who saved people was charged with assassinating Taishou.

Dahan put down the girl in his arms, and arched his hand towards Huang Zu and said: "A certain is Huang Zhong, a lieutenant general under Han Xuantaishou in Changsha, I don't know if he is a general, and he is offended, but the general should not ride a horse like this in the downtown area, and it is inappropriate to hurt the innocent truthfully." ”

Huang Zu's triangular eyes flashed, and he said disdainfully: "It's just a little Zhonglang general, and he dares to teach this general a lesson?" Come on, take it for Ben General! ”

The more than 20 people standing behind Huang Zu immediately drew their weapons and were about to step forward to arrest Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong didn't expect Huang Zu to be so unreasonable, no matter what, the two of them were both officials of the imperial court, and Huang Zu wanted to arrest himself in broad daylight because of his selfish desires, which put Huang Zhong in a dilemma. resist, it is easy to be truthful, and he has confirmed his crime of assassinating Huang Zu Taishou; Don't resist, Huang Zhong is really unwilling to be captured by a group of wine bags and rice bags, and he doesn't want to be humiliated.

Huang Zhong hesitated in his heart, a pair of iron fists clenched and loosened, and then clenched again, showing Huang Zhong's contradictory mood at the moment.
