Ao Lie turned around, faced the three thousand soldiers in the audience, raised his right hand, and shouted loudly: "Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

This sentence was originally a slogan issued by General Wei Qing and Hussar General Huo Qubing to fight against the Xiongnu in the early days of the founding of the Han Dynasty, and for hundreds of years since then, it has been the traditional military slogan of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

However, in recent decades, the successive emperors of the Han Dynasty were greedy for pleasure, coupled with the increasingly fierce struggle between relatives and eunuchs, which led to the stagnation and even regression of the Han Dynasty in various fields such as military, politics, and economy. As a result, this earth-shaking slogan is not as loud as before. In recent years, there are even few people who have this slogan in the early Han Dynasty, after all, the people can't eat enough, and the soldiers can't receive their salaries.

But at this moment, as Ao Lie shouted loudly, the three thousand sergeants in the audience looked at the second son, who was only ten years old, so arrogant, and they were also excited for a while, and shouted in unison: "Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!! ”

As soon as Ao Lie waved his hand, the shouting from the audience immediately stopped, waiting for Ao Lie to continue speaking. Ao Lie shouted again: "Point general! ”

The soldiers who were already in a neat queue in the audience reorganized the formation again, and strived to greet Ao Lie's generals with the most regular formation and the best appearance. Lu Bu, who was standing on the side watching, couldn't help but nod his head lightly, and whispered to himself: "This army is available." ”

Ao Lie walked quickly down the platform and selected the vanguard subordinates among the soldiers. Along the way, Ao Lie picked out dozens of people through the contact of momentum, all of whom were tall and murderous warriors. There is a murderous aura on the body, which means that these soldiers are veterans who have been on the battlefield and have seen blood on their blades, and they are most suitable for being a forward force.

Suddenly, Ao Lie felt someone watching him, and a strong emotion of asking for war came over his eyes. Turning his head, Ao Lie found that a warrior who was about twenty years old, with a face like purple jade and eyes like stars, was looking at him intently, and his eyes were full of endless battle intent. Ao Lie walked up to the warrior and asked, "Want to fight?" The warrior replied loudly: "I am willing to gallop on the battlefield with the second son!" ”

Feeling the killing intent of the other party that was extremely disproportionate to his age, Ao Lie suddenly moved in his heart: about twenty, his face is like purple jade, God, he won't be so lucky, right? Is this how you picked up a famous general?

I want to think about it, but I still have to confirm it. Ao Lie reached out and patted the warrior on the shoulder and asked, "What's your name?" Where is the ancestral home? The warrior with a face like purple jade replied: "I am from Yanmen, my surname is Zhang, my name is Liao, and my character is far away." ”

Sure enough, it was him! Ao Lie's heart was excited, and he was a famous general of the Three Kingdoms. Zhang Liao in history is the head of Cao Cao's five good generals, not only excellent martial arts, but also with a very good hand in leading troops, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Liao in the battle of Hefei, led 800 elites to kill into the 100,000 army of Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, killed Sun Quan lost his armor and fled, it can be seen how Zhang Liao's martial arts and command are good.

I didn't expect to find Zhang Liao among my father's subordinates! Ao Lie turned his head to look at Lu Bu not far away, and thought to himself: "Historically, Zhang Liao was originally a subordinate of the eldest brother, and if I am like this, can it be regarded as digging a corner?" Forget it, let's talk about this later, since I found Zhang Liao, there is no reason to abandon it, if he is willing to follow the eldest brother in the future, then I will be an adult. ”

Thinking of this, Ao Lie did not hesitate, and said to Zhang Liao: "From now on, I will promote you to the rank of military marquis and my deputy general." After hearing Ao Lie's appointment, everyone, including Zhang Liao himself, looked at Ao Lie in disbelief. Only Lu Bu on the side bowed his head slightly, and through observation, Lu Bu saw that Zhang Liao's martial arts were extraordinary, his momentum was calm, and he was indeed a good material.

Zhang Liao hesitated and said: "The military marquis of Yiqu, commanding five hundred soldiers, dare to ask why the second prince handed over such a heavy burden to an unknown junior like Liao?" ”

Ao Lie Dalu said with a smile: "Today's unknown junior, how can he know that he can't defend one side for the sake of the general?" Don't forget, I'm just a nobody. Could it be that Wen Yuan was afraid of war and didn't dare to agree? Zhang Liao was aroused by Ao Lie's first half of the sentence, and was aroused by the second half of the sentence, and his face turned purple with sauce, uh, Zhang Liao was originally like purple jade, but when he was provoked by Ao Lie, the blush floated on his face, and it turned into sauce purple.

With a purple face, Zhang Liao said loudly: "Liao commands!" I am willing to follow the second son before and after the saddle, and strive to be the first! Ao Lie nodded, and then didn't say anything, turned around and continued to count troops. Zhang Liao hurriedly took a step forward and followed behind Ao Lie with his sword, as if he was Ao Lie's subordinate.

Ordered troops all the way, and Ao Lie counted out 497 people, counting himself, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, it was exactly 500 people. After the point was completed, Ao Lie walked back to the front of the general stage, saluted Liu Yu on the stage and said, "Yu Taishou, Captain Ao Lie has finished counting the troops." ”

Liu Yu glanced at Lu Bu, who was standing beside Ao Lie with his hands down, in the past two years, Lu Bu has also been invited by Ao Lie to come to the Taishou Mansion several times as a guest, so Liu Yu also knows Lu Bu. Liu Yu knew that although Lu Bu was not his subordinate, he was Ao Lie's eldest brother, and his martial arts were outstanding, and with him by Ao Lie's side, Liu Yu also put a lot of heart. Walking down the platform quickly, Liu Yu came to Ao Lie, but he turned his head to Lu Bu first and said: "The soldiers are in danger, and I hope that the virtuous nephew will help Lie'er." ”

Lu Bu bowed and said, "Uncle is at ease, but if I have a breath, I won't allow anyone to bully my brother." Liu Yu's expression relaxed a little, then he turned his head, glanced at Ao Lie deeply, and said loudly: "Captain Ao Lie, lead the troops first!" ”

Ao Lie clasped his fists and saluted, and replied loudly: "No! ”

The next moment, Ao Lie and Lu Bu's mounts were brought over, Ao Lie turned over and jumped on the night snow dragon horse, took the spear handed by Mustache, pointed the tip of the spear straight to the sky, and shouted: "The vanguard belongs, get on the horse!" Lu Bu and Zhang Liao took the lead in flying and jumping onto their respective mounts, and then raised their weapons and pointed straight at the sky like Ao Lie. Then, 497 warriors under Ao Lie jumped on horseback at the same time, raised their weapons in unison, and also pointed straight to the sky.

Ao Lie suddenly waved down his spear and shouted, "Go to the battle!" Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and the rest of the soldiers shouted: "Go on the march!" Expedition!! Expedition !! ”

After shouting three times, the five hundred pioneers jumped on their horses and raised their whips, and with a whirlwind, they rushed out of the military academy field. The rest of the sergeants under Liu Yu's subordinates who were watching were enthusiastic, and they cheered hoarsely for the five hundred pioneer comrades: "Wind! Wind!! Wind!!! ”

All the way to the north, Ao Lie led the vanguard troops to quickly advance to the northern frontier, and it took two days to come to the border of Jiuyuan County. This is also the border of the Han Dynasty, and to the north, it is the place where the Huns operated.

Looking at the village that had been destroyed by the Huns, Ao Lie sighed, turned around and said: "Wenyuan, you take a few brothers into the village to see if there are still living people, if there are survivors, you can save them quickly." Zhang Liaonuo sighed, waved a few soldiers, and rode into the village.

Three moments later, a sergeant rushed out, turned over and dismounted in front of Ao Lie, clenched his fists and said, "Second Prince, uh, General Yu, General Zhang has found a few survivors in the village. General Zhang was investigating the military situation of the Xiongnu. Ao Lie nodded and said, "Let's go, take me and my eldest brother in to have a look." ”

The sergeant got on his horse and led Ao Lie and Lu Bu towards the village. After Ao Lie and the others entered the village, they saw Zhang Liao asking a few young people dressed as hunters. The young men said: "The Huns are about five or six thousand people, the leader seems to be called Zuo Xianwang, after they rode into the village, they brandished a long knife to kill the young men in the village, and then robbed the village of money and food, and kidnapped all the young women, and then set fire to the village, a few of us hunted in the mountains not far away, and saw the atrocities of the Huns, and when we drove down from the mountains and wanted to fight with the Huns, they had already ridden away. One of the young hunters cried and said to Zhang Liao: "General, hundreds of people in our whole village have all been killed by the Huns, and my daughter-in-law, who has not yet passed the door, has also been taken away by the Huns, please make the decision for us." ”

Ao Lie came to him, stretched out his hand and patted the weeping young hunter on the shoulder, and said: "We are the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and we are here to fight these Huns this time, and the blood debt must be repaid with blood after all." After hearing Ao Lie's words, the rest of the surviving Orions looked at Ao Lie suspiciously, completely unable to understand how a dignified county soldier could send a teenager to come.

Zhang Liao saw the doubts of the hunters, so he explained: "Everyone, this is our main general, the second son of Jiuyuan Taishou Liu Gong!" When the hunters heard that Ao Lie was Liu Yu's son, they all looked relieved. Liu Yu is different from other county guards, not only as a royal clansman, but also diligent in governance, never done anything to fish the people, and advocates thrift on weekdays, which is deeply popular with the people. Moreover, Ao Lie has been both civil and military since he was a child, and his reputation is outside, which also reassures the hunters. What's more, he is the second son of a dignified county guard, and he dared to go to the front line when he was only a teenager, who doesn't admire this courage?

The young hunter who was crying bitterly knelt in front of Ao Lie and said, "The villain is willing to follow the little general, carry the whip and fall into the stirrup, and fight against the Huns!" Ao Lie picked up Orion and asked, "What's your name?" Why follow me? Orion replied: "The villain's name is Tian Chou, and the word Zitai is a local Orion." The villain's wife, who did not pass through the door, was taken away by the Huns, and her life and death are unknown. The villain would rather join the army to fight against the Huns, so that more couples will be spared the suffering of the Huns. ”

Tian Chou? Tian Zitai? Another celebrity of the Three Kingdoms period. Ao Lie thought to himself. In history, Tian Chou was the chief strategist under Gongsun Zhan, if according to the normal development of history, it should be that Tian Chou suffered the pain of being kidnapped by the Huns when he was young, so he threw himself under the command of Gongsun Zhan, who had a resolute attitude towards foreign races. However, because Ao Lie was reborn in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were some subtle turns in the trajectory of history, which made Tian Chou throw himself under Ao Lie's command.

Ao Lie turned back to Zhang Liao and said, "Wenyuan, give him a horse, from today on, Zitai will be a staff member in our army." Tian Chou was surprised when he heard this, he never thought that the first time they met, Ao Lie entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. A few days ago, he was still an ordinary sergeant, but because of the words of his young master, he was now a marquis in command of five hundred sergeants.

Seeing Zhang Liao take a horse and hand the reins to his hand, Tian Chou knelt down in front of Ao Lie again, with two lines of tears on his face: "Chou deeply feels the grace of the lord's knowledge, although he has no regrets." ”
