After Sun Ce sat down, Ao Lie told Sun Ce and Zhou Yu the results of the discussion between Shicai and his subordinates, and the two heard that Ao Lie was not only willing to lend 10,000 soldiers to Sun Ce, so that Sun Ce could take revenge, but also let Gan Ning, the governor of the navy, lead 5,000 elite sailors to accompany him, and the gratitude of the two was immediately overflowing.

In this troubled world, the princes from all walks of life support their own troops, and they take their men and horses very seriously, and no one is willing to take out 10,000 soldiers for no reason and give them to others for nothing. However, Ao Lie's decision was contrary to the consistent style of the princes, and he took out 10,000 soldiers without even frowning, and generously let Gan Ning lead 5,000 Qilin troops to go together, which is not only something that can be explained by generosity, but also shows that Ao Lie is indeed a prince who values love and righteousness, and is a prince who is different.

Sun Ce stood up suddenly, his face was already full of tears, he strode to the middle of the hall, ripped off his coat, revealing the white filial piety clothes inside, and then saluted everyone in the hall, and then knelt down in front of Ao Lie, and said passionately: "Today is my father's Qiqi, as a son of man, Sun Ce has no face to serve in the mourning hall, and Gaine can't avenge his father." Therefore, he came to Yanjing thousands of miles to borrow troops, and Sun Ce could not repay the kindness of the master and everyone, and he should thank you for your condolences to the deceased. As he spoke, he kowtowed three times to Ao Lie.

Ao Lie did not stop Sun Ce, and sat in place to accept Sun Ce's bow. Ao Lie knew that from this moment on, the sadness in Sun Ce's heart had turned into strength, and he was brave enough to avenge his father. Therefore, Ao Lie could not and was not qualified to stop Sun Ce's prostration.

After pondering for a moment, Ao Lie suddenly turned his head to Ma Chao and said, "Go to the treasury and get that Cold Moon Blade." Ma Chao agreed, got up and left quickly.

Ao Lie stood up. walked up to Sun Ce, stretched out his hand to help Sun Ce, and said with some seriousness: "Bo Fu, you and I are both masters and apprentices, and in-laws. After returning to Jiangdong this time, remember not to blindly fight bravely, hatred often makes people lose their eyes and make people lose their due reason. Later, before making a decision. You have to listen to the opinions of your subordinates, if you have any hesitant things, discuss them with Gongjin more, you really can't make up your mind, you can send someone to carry a letter, and a certain will do his best to help you with your staff. Remember, rigidity is easy to break, and everything should be forgiving. ”

Ao Lie said this with a deep meaning. Now Sun Jian is like in history. died under the conspiracy of Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, that is to say, many things will not change because of Ao Lie's arrival. Ao Lie doesn't want to one day. saw that Sun Ce was also like in history, because he was too strong, he died at the hands of Xiaoxiao. Whether it is public or private, Ao Lie does not want to see that day happen.

Sun Ce's words to Ao Lie. He has always been obedient to his words, and immediately solemnly said: "Master rest assured, the disciple has written it down." ”

A moment later. Ma Chao walked back into the hall with the Cold Moon Blade in his hand. This short dagger was one of the dozens of artifacts that Ao Lie had taken out of the Guangwu Secret Treasure at the beginning. Of the dozens of artifacts at the beginning, Ao Lie had already assigned most of them to the generals under his command, and now only a dozen of them were still kept in the treasury, and this Cold Moon Blade was one of them. Because there has been no one suitable to use it, Ao Lie has not assigned it out.

According to legend, the Cold Moon Blade was forged by Madame Xu, a swordsmith during the Warring States period. Mrs. Xu is a personal name, but her name is Mrs., but she has nothing to do with women, she is an authentic man. At the beginning, Mrs. Xu walked into a forest by chance, and when she entered the depths of the woods, he was surprised to find that the trees within ten zhang were all cut down, as if she had been tortured by Ling Chi. In the center of these ten zhang, there is a meteorite falling from the sky, exuding a terrifying cold. Later, Mrs. Xu took out this meteorite against the strange cold, and spent ten days and ten nights to create a dagger that looked like a crescent moon and was cold, and named it Cold Moon. Later, the monarch of Zhao wanted to spend a lot of money to buy this short dagger, but was rejected by Mrs. Xu. The resentful King of Zhao sent a group of assassins to assassinate Madame Xu, intending to kill and seize the treasure. Lady Xu held the Cold Moon Blade in her hand and killed one hundred and twenty assassins in one battle, and these assassins who died under the Cold Moon Blade were all blood frozen and their bones were broken.

The legend about the Cold Moon Blade does not stop there, according to legend, at the end of the Warring States Period, the Qin State became stronger and stronger under the rule of the First Emperor, and became a powerful existence among the princes. As a result, Dan, the crown prince of Yan Kingdom, spent a lot of money to buy the Cold Moon Blade and gave it to the famous assassin Jing Ke, trying to get Jing Ke to kill Qin Shi Huang with the Cold Moon Blade. In the end, although Jing Ke failed, the name of the Cold Moon Blade was verified again. Later, the Qin Dynasty fell, and Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, entered Guanzhong, and the Cold Moon Blade fell into Liu Bang's hands, and after Liu Bang's death, the Cold Moon Blade disappeared.

Reaching out to take the Cold Moon Blade from Ma Chao's hand, Ao Lie suddenly felt a chill in his arm, and couldn't help but praise loudly: "The Cold Moon Blade is worthy of its name!" What a good knife! Immediately, Ao Lie handed the Cold Moon Blade to Sun Ce, and then said, "This Cold Moon Blade is yours." Remember, whenever you go out, you have to take the Cold Moon Edge with you! "In history, when Sun Ce went hunting again, he was besieged by three Xu Gong guests, because Sun Ce only had a longbow in his hand at that time, and his ability could not be used at all, so he was seriously injured, and died at the hands of these three unknown villains. Ao Lie now gave Sun Ce the Cold Moon Blade and told him to take it with him when he went out, just to give Sun Ce one more weapon for self-protection.

The Warring States period was not too far from the end of the Han Dynasty, and the various legends of the Cold Moon Blade would naturally not disappear so quickly. Sun Ce had naturally heard of the prestige of the Cold Moon Blade, and now seeing that Ao Lie had actually given him such a divine weapon, Sun Ce's heart was extremely moved, and he immediately promised: "Master rest assured, when you go out in the future, the disciple will definitely take the Cold Moon Blade with you!" ”

Ao Lie nodded with satisfaction, then sighed softly, patted Sun Ce's shoulder and said, "Okay, there is no feast in the world." What's more, you still have a heavy burden on you, so let's pick up the men and horses later, and return to Jiangdong immediately. Zhongmou is still young, and I'm afraid he can't preside over the overall situation. "Zhongmou, is Sun Ce's second brother Sun Quan, the word Zhongmou, that is, the nominal first emperor of the Eastern Wu Empire in history. Sun Quan was brilliant and good at dealing with all kinds of contradictions and disputes, which was also an important reason why he could later make the Eastern Wu Empire as stable as a rock. But now, Sun Ce has just turned twenty years old, and Sun Quan is not yet fourteen years old, and he is obviously not able to take on the responsibility of controlling the overall situation.

Sun Ce put away the Cold Moon Blade, and then solemnly saluted Ao Lie again, and after taking a deep look at Ao Lie, he strode out of the hall. Ao Lie's kindness, Sun Ce has already remembered it in his heart, but he didn't say it. There are some things that are more effective to keep in your heart than to say them with your mouth.

Seeing Sun Ce turn around and prepare to leave, Zhou Yu immediately pulsated his footsteps and followed behind Sun Ce. When he walked to the door of the hall, he suddenly stopped, then turned around to look at Ao Lie, slowly raised his hands, gathered together, and bowed deeply to Ao Lie. The great grace of the prince today, Zhou Yu remembered it in his heart. Don't thank you, please remember Zhou Yu's words, Zhou Yu will not be the enemy of the prince in the end! ”

If Zhou Yu's words were said in front of other princes, he might cause a burst of laughter. What is Zhou Yu? Now he is just a deputy under Sun Ce, the lost dog, why should he say something that is an enemy of Ao Lie? But here in Ao Lie, no one makes fun of Zhou Yu, from Ao Lie in the hall to the bottom, no one is mediocre, Zhou Yu's own momentum has made everyone feel that this person will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future, with this momentum alone, Zhou Yu has enough reason to say such seemingly arrogant words!

For Zhou Yu, no one is more familiar with Ao Lie, even Sun Ce, I am afraid that he does not have Ao Lie's in-depth understanding. Zhou Yu is a famous general in history, it was he who defeated Cao Cao who had 830,000 troops in the first battle of Chibi with 50,000 people, intending to invade the south, Zhou Yu also became famous in the first battle, became the first governor of Jiangdong, and laid the most solid foundation for the later Eastern Wu Empire.

With an indifferent smile, Ao Lie gave Zhou Yu a return salute, and said, "I am deeply honored by the promise of Gong Jin. ”

Zhou Yu heard Ao Lie's sincerity in Ao Lie's demeanor and tone, and knew that Ao Lie was not an ordinary polite word, but a joy from the heart. This made Zhou Yu admire Ao Lie's bearing and mind even more, with Ao Lie's current status and status, he is not humble as Zhou Yu at all, and he has a relationship with Zhou Yu's peers, which is a kind of freedom in itself. nodded slightly towards Ao Lie, and then Zhou Yu turned around and chased after Sun Ce.

In the large camp in Yanjing City, the 10,000 sergeants ordered by Ao Lie were already ready, lined up in a neat formation, waiting for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's inspection. Although the 10,000 sergeants were all recruits who had only been recruited into the ranks a year ago, after a year of hard training, their military quality was not bad at all, and they were well-equipped, and each of them was issued with a pair of iron armor and an iron gun with ash rods. The most rare thing is that Ao Lie's heart is as careful as a hair, knowing that Sun Ce is in a difficult situation now, and the food must be in short supply, so each of these 10,000 soldiers is allocated a month's salary, and at this moment, on these sergeants, they are all carrying a cloth bag, which contains their rations.

After seeing these 10,000 soldiers, Sun Ce was moved in his heart again, and turned back to Zhou Yu and said, "Master of So-and-so, how is it?" Zhou Yu smiled and gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Contemporary strange man, what a hero in the world!" ”

Sun Ce nodded in agreement, then turned his gaze back to the 10,000 sergeants in front of him, pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted: "Target Liaodong, go!" (To be continued......)
