For the next three days, Ao Lie was busy. He must ensure that Luoyang's defense is above a certain level within these three days, otherwise, if Li Dao, Guo Yan or anyone else come to the cholera capital again, then the majesty of the Han family will really plummet. For Liu Xie, Ao Lie is still very optimistic about Lu, the current Liu Xie is much stronger than the Han Xian Emperor recorded in history, even if he will not grow into a generation of Ming Jun in the future, but at least, Liu Xie will not be as dull as his Lao Tzu. As long as Liu Xie is not mediocre, the Han will still be saved, and the people of the world will still have hope. Therefore, Ao Lie naturally wants to protect Liu Xie.

When Zhang Ji led his men to Luoyang, Ao Lie took Zhang Ji to meet Liu Xie, stating that Zhang Ji was a rare upright man in the Western Liang army, unlike other brutal and unkind Xiliang warlords, and strongly recommended Zhang Ji to guard Chang'an to resist the possible rebellion of Li Dao Guo Yan. After talking with Zhang Ji for a long time, Liu Xie also felt that Zhang Ji was honest and reliable, so he agreed to Ao Lie's recommendation, named Zhang Ji as the general of Anxi, and led his troops to guard Chang'an. Zhang Ji was also grateful for Liu Xie's reuse, patting his chest and promising that he would never let Li Dao and Guo Yan take half a step across Chang'an. After that, Zhang Ji rested in Luoyang for two days, and then led people to take office immediately.

After Zhang Ji left, Ao Lie went to visit his uncle Wang Yue again. Ao Lie knew that Wang Yue was an official fan, and he had been in Luoyang for decades, just to be able to mix an official and a half-job, and to be able to seal his wife and son in the future. Ao Lie seized on Wang Yue's characteristic, and took Liu Xie's holy decree and directly gave him an official position as the commander of the imperial guard. This official position, which was not available before, was a newly established official position by Liu Xie under Ao Lie's proposal, mainly responsible for the daily security of the emperor. Wang Yue's swordsmanship is extraordinary, and he uses it as a personal bodyguard, which can be regarded as making the best use of his talents and materials. At the same time, all the disciples in Wang Yue's Sword Pavilion were wiped out by Ao Lie. was given the identity of a royal guard, led by Wang Yue, to jointly protect Liu Xie's personal safety. Ao Lie also recommended Qu A, who had saved him in Luoyang City, to Liu Xie, and praised Qu A's loyalty. Liu Xie saw that Qu A's martial arts were good, and he liked it very much in his heart, so he immediately awarded Qu A the position of deputy commander of the imperial guard. In this way, a team with Wang Yue as the main and Qu A as the auxiliary, plus hundreds of Wang Yue's disciples, Ao Lie selected more than 100 elite soldiers from Wu Qiong and Wu Xi brothers, and made up the number of 500 to form a team of imperial guards. This team. Known as the Imperial Forest Army, it is under the direct command of Liu Xie, and no other people's orders will be followed. Ao Lie's arrangement was also intended to let Liu Xie exercise and try to personally lead an army to lay the foundation for the future.

After the external danger and Liu Xie's personal safety were resolved, Ao Lie turned his attention to the city defense. After discussion with Liu Xie, the two brothers finally finalized. Huangfu Song concurrently served as Henan Yin, responsible for commanding and training recruits stationed in Luoyang. These recruits were all newly recruited after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and the number was not too many, only about 3,000. But Ao Lie believed that if these 3,000 people were put in the hands of Huangfu Song, over time, they would definitely burst out with terrifying combat effectiveness.

Other than that. On the military side, at Ao Lie's suggestion, Liu Xie abolished the Xiyuan Lieutenant Army. These people are all the sons and daughters of various families, not to mention the terrible low combat effectiveness, and they will also bring all kinds of bad tendencies to the army. Liu Xie ordered the establishment of a new forbidden army, with Zhu Jun as the main general, Wu Qiong and Wu Xi brothers as deputies, most of the soldiers of this forbidden army were also newly recruited, and a small part were veterans loyal to the Han family who survived the Dong Zhuo Rebellion. Bringing the old with the new can also quickly allow the recruits to adapt to military life. The number of the forbidden army was temporarily maintained at about 10,000, responsible for responding to various emergencies and guarding the safety of Luoyang.

After all aspects of the problems were solved one by one, Ao Lie was relieved. Counting up, Liu Xie's direct and indirect command of the soldiers and horses now has more than 13,000 people, although not too many, but there is no problem guarding Luoyang, not to mention that there are famous generals like Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun from the side, father Liu Yu and Zhong Xuan and other ministers to give advice, coupled with the sturdiness and majesty of Luoyang City, it is basically impossible to forcibly break through Luoyang in a short time.

After arranging all the questions that could be thought of, it was already the night of the third day. Ao Lie held two jars of West Wind Spirits, went straight to the palace, and before leaving, he wanted to say goodbye to Liu Xie in private, without anyone disturbing him.

When Ao Lie walked to the door of Liu Xie's bedroom, Wang Yue's figure flashed out of nowhere, and shouted coldly: "Stop!" Ao Lie smiled secretly in his heart, is it quite fast for his uncle to enter the role, and it is really suitable for Liu Xie to be a personal bodyguard. Raising his head, Ao Lie smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, it's so-and-so." ”

After seeing that it was Ao Lie, Wang Yue put away his vigilant look and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Ao Junhou, just now the saint was still talking about Junhou, Junhou go in quickly." "Although Ao Lie is Wang Yue's nephew, but Wang Yue is good at everything, but there is one point, he is obsessed with official positions to the bones, since he was named the commander of the imperial guards by Liu Xie, he no longer wants to call Ao Lie's nephew, but changes his mouth to call Ao Lie a prince, which shows that he is quite clear about the distinction between respect and inferiority in the officialdom. Ao Lie had also asked Wang Yue to change back to his previous title many times before, but Wang Yue insisted on refusing.

Shaking his head helplessly, Ao Lie completely gave up the idea of letting Wang Yue change his mind and walked into the palace. All the objects inside and outside the dormitory were all replaced, because Liu Xie really couldn't tolerate using the things that Dong Zhuo had used.

Walking into the dormitory, Ao Lie saw Liu Xie sitting on a rocking chair with his back to him, looking at the night sky in a daze. Ao Lie quietly walked to Liu Xie's side, reached out and patted Liu Xie's shoulder hard, and said, "What do you want?" So distracted. Liu Xie was taken aback by Ao Lie, and hurriedly looked back, with a bit of rare naughtiness on his face: "Brother Huang, are you trying to scare me to death?" See how I clean you up. With that, Liu Xie jumped up from the rocking chair and threw himself at Ao Lie.

Ao Lieha smiled, turned around, dodged Liu Xie's pounce, and said with a smile: "Boy, I taught you all your kung fu, you want to catch me?" Dream on. Liu Xie's mouth curled, and he said with a happy smile: "Blue is better than blue, this sentence is also taught to me by you, be careful!" Before the words fell, Liu Xie once again threw himself at Ao Lie.

Ao Lie didn't put down the wine jar in his hand, stuck out his tongue at Liu Xie, and even said in a naughty tone: "Come on, you are here, if you can catch me, I will call you brother." Liu Xie laughed while chasing Ao Lie. The two brothers hid and chased, and the sound of happy laughter spread far away from the palace.

Wang Yue hid in a dark corner outside the dormitory, listening to the laughter of Ao Lie and Liu Xie, he couldn't help but laugh heartily, and whispered to himself: "One is the true dragon son of today, and the other is the world-famous champion Hou, but after all, they are all just children......

Enough laughter, Ao Lie and Liu Xie sat down on the ground one after another. Ao Lie opened the two jars of West Wind Spirits in his hand and handed them to Liu Xie. Liu Xie didn't pick it up, but looked at Ao Lie in a daze, as if he wanted to see the flowers on Ao Lie's face.

"What's wrong? Is it true that flowers really grow on a certain face? Ao Lie said with a chuckle.

Liu Xie shook his head slowly, and said with a serious look: "Brother Huang, sometimes I think about what it would be like if I hadn't met you. Did he become Dong Zhuo's puppet, or did he already die in Jiuquan? If I hadn't met you, wouldn't the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty be lost in my hands? Am I going to be a dead king? ”

Ao Lie was stunned, he didn't expect that with Liu Xie's age, he could think so long-term, and Liu Xie's thoughts were almost the same as those recorded in history, if he hadn't traveled to the end of the Han Dynasty, then, Liu Xie would have become a puppet and the king of the dead country as he said.

Sighing, Liu Xie's tone was a bit young and old: "Brother Huang, many people tell me that I shouldn't believe in you too much, some people say that you support the army and respect yourself, once you are full-fledged in the future, you will definitely establish yourself as the king and drive me off the throne." ”

Ao Lie smiled, picked up the wine jar and took a big sip of wine, and asked, "Then according to you, will there be that day?" ”

Liu Xie didn't answer Ao Lie's words directly, looked at Ao Lie's eyes fixedly, and said softly: "Just now, you inadvertently said a word. My martial arts are all taught by you, therefore, I can't catch you. Not only martial arts, it can be said that all my skills are taught by you, if there is a day, I will definitely not be your opponent. ”

Ao Lieha laughed, and while laughing, he sang loudly: "Ten thousand volumes of poems, thousands of wines, how many times have you looked at the Hou Wang!" ”

Liu Xie followed Ao Lie's chant and repeated it, savoring the artistic conception in Ao Lie's words. After a long time, Liu Xie suddenly smiled, and his eyebrows looked very relaxed: "Brother Huang, I have never called me in front of you, because I have always felt that you are like a benevolent brother, teaching me all kinds of skills, you may not know the way, from the first time I saw you, I felt something in you, which I had never felt before I met you, that is, the warmth of family affection." Liu Xie's words are very straightforward, since ancient times, the royal family has no family affection, even if Liu Hong was good to Liu Xie when he was alive, it is impossible to compare with the father-son love of ordinary people.

The night was deep, but the two brothers in the dormitory were not sleepy, after the heart-to-heart conversation just now, Liu Xie completely opened his heart to Ao Lie, and the relationship between the two brothers became closer. Liu Xie learned from Ao Lie's appearance, picked up the wine jar and poured wine one after another, not for a long time, Liu Xie was already a little drunk, his little face was crimson, he reached out and grabbed Ao Lie's arm, and said with a little drunkenness: "Brother Huang, in other days, if I can't revive the Han Dynasty, you will ascend the throne in Youzhou and call yourself the emperor, and hand over the rivers and mountains of the ancestors of the past dynasties to you, I am willing." ”

Ao Lie was silent, reached out and stroked the top of Liu Xie's head, and said softly: "Silly boy, you are drunk ......" (to be continued......
