After spending only ten days on their honeymoon, the newlyweds Ao Lie and Zhen Mi had to temporarily end their glue-like lingering. And the one who interrupted the honeymoon period of the two was Zhen Mi's father Zhen Yi. After these ten days of preparation, Zhen Yi has already prepared the 20 million money and 200,000 grains promised to Ao Lie.

With these money and food, Ao Lie immediately shifted his mind to the expedition against the Xiongnu and Wuhuan. While asking the government officials to count the money and food, Ao Lie came to the prison again, and he wanted to see how the red-coated ballista was going. As a result, the efficiency of Wang Hun, Ma Jun and others surprised Ao Lie. In less than a month, they not only completed the improvement of the red-coated ballista, so that the red-coated ballista had both the advantages of the Great Qin rhubarb crossbow and the later three-bow bed crossbow, and had been officially put into production, and now, thirty red-coated ballistas have been manufactured.

Ao Lie was full of praise for the four improved red-coat ballistas, believing that they would be invincible weapons on the battlefield. Ao Lie's praise is more fair, the improved red-clothed ballista has a range of up to an astonishing 600 steps, and adheres to the world-famous penetration characteristics of the rhubarb crossbow, and at the same time, according to the structure of the three-bow bed crossbow in later generations, the improvement of the one-shot three-sword crossbow has been completed, and on the basis of the three-bow bed crossbow, there has been a certain improvement. On the redcoat ballista, there are a total of five crossbow bolts in the regular configuration, two of which are javelin-like crossbows as thick as a child's arm, and the other three are small crossbows about the same length as a longsword. These five bolts can be fired at the same time, or they can be fired individually for precise bursting. Its effective range is 500 paces, and it can deliver a devastating blow to the target within 500, if it does not require accuracy, a distance of 600 paces. It is also attainable.

There was still a period of time before the expedition, Ao Lie told Wang Hun and Ma Jun to speed up the construction of red-coated ballistas, and strive to build a hundred red-coated ballistas when they set out on the expedition. Wang Hun agreed to Ao Lie's request and promised to make more red-clothed ballistas as soon as possible.

Returning to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Ao Lie convened several people from the Military Mansion for a small-scale meeting to determine the specific troops and generals for this expedition. The most rear. Under the consultation of several people, Ao Lie decided to adopt the plan of bringing the old with the new in this expedition, that is, with some veterans as the main force, supplemented by most of the recruits, so that the recruits could be baptized in blood and fire. Be able to grow up as quickly as possible. Of course, the recruits in Ao Lie's mouth. It's not a rookie who has just enlisted in the army. Rather, the soldiers who have undergone more than a year of rigorous training have become quite mature in their military qualities and combat skills, and what they lack is only their personal experience on the battlefield. Veterans can play a role in stabilizing the morale of the military, and will make recruits who have not set foot on the battlefield feel steady. And under the training of Gao Shun and others. Ao Lie was not worried that the recruits would flee from the battle, and in Ao Lie's army, the three points of loyalty to Ao Lie, the fighting style of brave combat, and strict observance of military orders had evolved into the soul of the army. Under the guidance of the military spirit, it is almost impossible to see the defection from Ao Lie's army. This is also one of the important reasons why Ao Lie used the ideas of later generations to manage the army, and it is more important than anything else to build the faith of his subordinate army.

In this expedition, Ao Lie is expected to invest 60,000 soldiers and horses, of which only 20,000 are veterans, namely 5,000 blood killing army, 5,000 tiger army and 10,000 dragon army. The Blood Killing Army still plays the role of Ao Lie's personal guard, responsible for the safety of Ao Lie's Chinese army; The Tiger Army is responsible for operating the red-coated ballista, and when necessary, will enter the battlefield as an elite infantry army; The Longxiang army was the main force of this campaign, using cavalry to restrain the cavalry, crushing the cavalry of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan to the greatest extent, and destroying their confidence in using cavalry as the main type of troops.

The other 40,000 are soldiers who have been conscripted into the army in the last two years, and some of them have already set foot on the battlefield, but most of them are still participating in the war for the first time. When Gao Shun and others were training, according to Ao Lie's orders, they often conducted actual combat exercises with a high degree of simulation, but no matter how real the actual combat exercises were, they could not replace real battles. Only after experiencing real battles can they transform into real warriors, and Ao Lie is looking forward to their growth.

In terms of generals, Zhao Yun, who is the commander of the Blood Killing Army, and Ma Chao, who is the commander of the Tiger Army, must follow Ao Lie's side, and Lu Bu, the commander of the Longxiang Army, will also accompany Ao Lie on the expedition and fight side by side with Ao Lie again. In addition to these three people, Ao Lie also ordered Zhang Liao and Xu Huang's generals and asked them to be responsible for commanding the recruits and going to the battlefield together. In the military mansion, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu will serve as marching staff officers and go with Ao Lie. Originally, Ao Lie planned to take Jia Xu with him, but Jia Xu's age was a little old after all, Ao Lie couldn't bear to let Jia Xu run around all the time, and the climate outside the plug was hot and cold, Ao Lie was worried that Jia Xu would not adapt, so he let Jia Xu stay in Yanjing. In addition, the leader of the most shadows, Li Ru will lead a part of the shadow members to follow Ao Lie's army in secret, and spy on the military secrets of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan for Ao Lie, so that Ao Lie can grasp the movements of the two clans as much as possible, so as to formulate the most suitable strategic policy.

The specific date of the expedition is set for the 20th of the following month. Now there is less than a month left before the day of the expedition. During this period of time, everyone in the military government and the government government had to be busy, and they needed to strictly approve the names of each soldier who went out to fight, which army these soldiers belonged to, who commanded them, and so on. It is also necessary to prepare corresponding materials and armaments, such as swords, guns, bows, crossbows, armor, banners, and other conventional equipment, and at the same time count money and food to ensure that the salary of each soldier can be distributed to them on time. Soldiers and horses go first before moving grain and grass, but it is the law of marching and fighting in ancient times.

At the same time, several generals who were ordered by Ao Lie to go out on the expedition were not idle, taking advantage of the more than 20 days before the expedition, they stepped up the training of their subordinate sergeants, especially Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, who were in charge of recruits, and they were very strict with the training of the sergeants. Zhang Liao and Xu Huang deeply believe this truth, they don't want these recruits, only a few people can return triumphantly, what they hope is that everyone can laugh to the bottom and share the joy of victory together. Despite this desire of theirs. It is somewhat unrealistic, if there is a war, there will definitely be deaths, but they still keep urging the recruits day and night to speed up training, in order to have more recruits survive on the battlefield and complete the transformation into veterans.

Next, Ao Lie himself got busy. Years of war and all kinds of things have made him not receive the hellish training of Wang Ao Lao Zu and Tong Yuan for a long time, although now Wang Ao and Tong Yuan have nothing to teach Ao Lie. Although Ao Lie insisted on practicing martial arts for at least two hours every day, regardless of the severe cold and heat, Ao Lie still felt that only under the hellish training of his master and uncle could he be regarded as real martial arts. In order to play a further role.

Regarding Ao Lie's active begging, Wang Ao and Tong Yuan also readily agreed. As Ao Lie's martial arts are getting closer to the peak. and the rising tide of his status. Wang Ao and Tong Yuan thought that they would never conduct such training for Ao Lie again, and they couldn't help but feel a little regretful in their hearts, after all, Ao Lie was the disciple they trained together, the disciple they were most proud of, and it was the inheritance of their mantle. Of course, they hope that Ao Lie can do better and more perfectly. The way of practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. They were always worried that Ao Lie would get entangled in affairs because of it. And to waste his own martial arts, that would be a violent destruction of heaven and a waste of Ao Lie's own excellent qualifications.

However, it turns out that Ao Lie's martial arts are not the slightest waste, but faintly have the momentum of breakthrough. Wang Ao and Tong Yuan followed the previous hellish training, and after a day of training for Ao Lie, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Ao Lie dealt with it easily, without any difficulty at all. This shows that Ao Lie's usual martial arts are diligent in training, so that he will have the current results. From the second day, the second elder strengthened the intensity of training, which made Ao Lie shed some sweat a little. For Ao Lie's performance, the second elder is quite satisfied, but at the same time, it also arouses the second elder's disobedience to the old man's heart, you Ao Lie is a disciple taught by our second elder, is it the most unruly that our second elder still can't convince you? So, on the third day, the second elder directly raised the intensity of his training to the super S level. The so-called super S-level is described by Ao Lie, he named the training intensity according to easy to difficult, respectively named D, C, B, A and S-level, this set of classification of training intensity, also used by Ao Lie in the army, now Zhang Liao and Xu Huang and others are doing S-level training for the sergeants who are about to go out.

And the super S-level, as the name suggests, is the training intensity that surpasses the S-level difficulty. In the whole world, only Ao Lie has this honor for anyone who can receive super S-level training. Under the super intensity training, Ao Lie finally began to sweat like rain, a large amount of physical consumption every day and the use of marksmanship thousands of times, finally made Ao Lie complete a breakthrough on the penultimate day of hellish training, and had a higher level of understanding of marksmanship and transportation methods. At the same time, his Wuji Jiuyang Gong was also passively affected quietly, and then broke through to the nineteenth layer, which allowed Ao Lie to use nineteen dark energies one after another without stopping, although the breakthrough of Wuji Jiuyang Gong was only one more dark energy, but it also made Ao Lie happy, the breakthrough of internal strength, the more difficult it was to go to the back, this unintentional breakthrough can be described as an unexpected joy.

The highest realm of Wuji Jiuyang Gong is the twenty-fourth layer, but that is limited to legends, in the previous life, even Ao Lie's master, the head of the Wudang faction, the Ziguang Master, has only cultivated to the thirteenth layer, you must know that in the Wudang faction's thousand-year-old inheritance, the Ziguang Master is the only one who has cultivated the Wuji Jiuyang Gong to the thirteenth layer. If it weren't for Ao Lie's soul transformation in another dimensional space at the beginning of the crossing, it would have been impossible to achieve today's breakthrough in the nineteenth layer. In any case, Ao Lie is now practicing the nineteenth layer of Wuji Jiuyang Gong, making his innate divine power become stronger at the same time, his breath is also much smoother, every breath is under the subtle influence of Wuji Jiuyang Gong, to achieve the effect of breathing, even if Ao Lie is not practicing in the future, his internal strength will not regress, but will gradually increase at a slow speed.

In the last three days before the expedition, both Ao Lie and the recruits under Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others suspended their strict training and turned to restorative training, in order to ensure that their condition was adjusted to the best and lay a good foundation for the expedition. At the same time, under the instruction of Ao Lie, Hua Tuo also came up with a set of medicinal food to supplement the 60,000 soldiers who had undergone strict training, which was also the concept brought by Ao Lie from later generations, using diet to ensure the abundant physical strength of the soldiers under his command. When Ao Lie was first in charge of Youzhou, it was stipulated that the sergeants must have meat for one meal every day. Eating meat can not only nourish the soldiers' bodies and exert stronger strength, but also secretly stimulate the soldiers' desire to fight, because only by protecting their homeland and winning one victory after another can they ensure that they have meat to eat. Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat, that's the truth. Meat and medicinal diet gradually adjusted the state of 60,000 soldiers to the best.
