After Ao Lie led his troops into the city, the Wenchen led by Zhuge Liang, the military generals led by Lu Bu, and the Jiangdong generals led by Zhou Yu lined up on both sides of the road to respectfully welcome Ao Lie's return.

At noon that day, everyone held a grand banquet in Hejian City, which was not only for Ao Lie to receive the wind and wash the dust, but also to celebrate Ao Lie's crown. Under Ao Lie's gaze, everyone toasted him frequently, and everyone seemed to forget that they were currently in wartime, and indulged in binge drinking.

At the banquet, Ao Lie was a little drunk, and jokingly said to everyone: "When a certain first entered the city, the soldiers guarding the city called a certain king, this title is really not used to it, and it took a long time to know that they were calling a certain person, Ha Lu Ha, in fact, a certain person really doesn't like this title, it sounds like a mountain king who has fallen into the grass." ”

Zhuge Liang raised his glass and said with a smile: "The king was named the king of Yan by the Son of Heaven, and the ministers should call the king like this, the king may just be unaccustomed to it for a while, and it will be good to get used to it slowly for a while." ”

Ao Lie turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, and said helplessly: "Is there no other name?" The king's, it sounds so uncomfortable. ”

Zhou Yu stood up and said: "The king, the etiquette cannot be abolished, the title of the king by the subordinates is also to show the identity and status of the king, not to mention that this is the rule that I set when the Han Dynasty was founded. ”

Ao Lie shook his head, raised his wine glass and saluted everyone in a circle, and said: "Since joining the army at the age of eight, I have never had the luxury of emulating Ganluo at the age of twelve, nor have I ever advertised myself as an eighteen-year-old general like Huo Hucai. Every victory is inseparable from the bloody struggle and strategizing of the brothers, if there is no brothers, there will be no today's achievements, for our Han to open up territory and expand territory. The brothers accompanied a certain one all the way, how many hardships they went through, a certain heart is clear and clear, and he claims to be the lonely king in front of the brothers, and he really can't do it shamelessly. You were brothers of so-and-so before, and will still be brothers of so-and-so. Everyone has lived and died together on the battlefield, and this brotherhood is really unbearable to blaspheme. Therefore, so-and-so is still so-and-so, and so-and-so will never call himself a lonely king in front of his brothers! ”

Ao Lie's words. It was deeply touching and made everyone here. Including Jiangdong generals such as Zhou Yu, who was not under Ao Lie's command. I was impressed. And the one who has the deepest experience of these words is Lu Bu. Among these people, Lu Bu and Ao Lie knew each other the earliest, and in the early years, he and Ao Lie were also teachers and friends, and they gave Ao Lie the eighteen slashes handed down by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, which led to Ao Lie combining several exquisite marksmanship in the future. Created the Formation Breaker Overlord Gun. Moreover, Lu Bu once served Dong Zhuo and stood on the opposite side of Ao Lie, but no matter how things change in the world. The brotherhood between Ao Lie and Lu Bu has never deteriorated in the slightest from beginning to end, but has become stronger and stronger as time goes by, just like an old wine, which lasts for a long time.

At that moment, Lu Bu raised his glass and stood up, and said loudly: "The king is now the king of Yan, ruling the five northern states, but he does not forget the old feelings, which is admirable. That being the case, then everyone will call each other, the king doesn't like to be called the king, I will be called the king of Yan in the future, a certain leader who is the eldest brother, come, brothers, let's salute the brother of the king of Yan together! ”

Lu Bu's words are really a bit nondescript, claiming to be the eldest brother of King Yan, and calling King Yan a brother, if it were elsewhere, especially in Yuan Shao's place, I am afraid that this remark would be beheaded for committing a crime, but here in Ao Lie, it will not be like this at all.

Ao Lie's hearty Da Lu smiled and said: "It's still the eldest brother who knows the mind of Lu Dao best, come, brothers, let's not get drunk today!" With Ao Lie's words, dozens of civil and military officials stood up and raised their glasses to Ao Lie to celebrate, and at the same time said in unison: "Brothers, a cup to King Yan!" ”

In history, Cao Cao in his heyday was a power plotter; Liu Bei, on the other hand, is to rule the country with benevolence and virtue; Sun Quan used the dual means of harsh punishment and relying on the strong to govern the country. These three people have used their own methods to successfully establish a prosperous empire, but Ao Liezhi, who has the experience and knowledge of later generations, the methods of the three of them are one-sided, not scientific, and there is only one way to truly govern the country, which can be summed up in two words, that is, equality. Equality between kings and ministers, equality between superiors and subordinates, equality between subjects...... Only equality can eliminate the privileges of the nobles and bring the ruling class closer to the common people; Only when the whole country is equal will the whole country be united and work together to build its own country. Now Ao Lie is establishing the basis of this equality - equality between kings and ministers. This kind of equality will pave the way for the complete elimination of the privileges of the nobles in the future, and it can also bring the hearts of everyone under his command closer, so that everyone can truly regard this country as their own country, and let everyone realize that everyone is the master of the country, and this country is not owned by Ao Lie alone.

This banquet lasted from noon to evening, everyone's interest was very high, and they kept pushing the cup to change the lamp.

The news of Ao Lie's return in Hejian City and the feast of his ministers was quickly heard by the spies sent by Yuan Shao, and the news was transmitted back to Yuan Shao's camp. After Yuan Shao suffered losses in intelligence one after another, he also realized the importance of intelligence, and sent a large number of spies to scatter inside and outside Hejian City to spy on various secrets. But what Yuan Shao didn't know was that the shadow members under Ao Lie's command had already laid out everything, and those spies of Yuan Jun were all in the sight of the shadow members, and the news that Yuan Shao got was just the news that Ao Lie wanted Yuan Shao to know. Ao Lie didn't want Yuan Shao to know the news of the Dao, and Yuan Shao's spies couldn't hear it anyway, this was Ao Lie's original intention to form the Shadow, which could not only control the first-hand intelligence, but also induce the enemy to think, so that the enemy could act according to Ao Lie's vision.

After getting the news from the spies, Yuan Shao's face naturally won't look good, Ao Lie was named King Yan, nominally one level higher than Yuan Shao, and now it is equivalent to two levels higher than Yuan Shao, and the superior crusades against the subordinate. No one will say anything, but the subordinates disobey the leadership of the superiors and lead the army to resist, this reputation is not so good, and in general terms, Ao Lie has the upper hand steadily. And Ao Lie also killed Yuan Xi, so that Yuan Shao was tormented by the pain of losing his son all the time, seeing that Ao Lie was proud of the spring breeze at the moment, how could Yuan Shao's heart be so bearable?

"Hmph, just let you Ao Mohan be proud for a few days. When Shang'er arrives with reinforcements, he will definitely crush your bones and scatter ashes! Yuan Shao thought viciously in his heart. After cursing for a while, Yuan Shao ordered the army to unload their armor and sleep peacefully, and only a small number of patrols were arranged to be responsible for guarding. In Yuan Shao's opinion. After trekking all the way, Ao Lie rushed back to Hejian from Luoyang. The body must be very tired. In addition, the Chinese Wu of the city held a grand banquet to celebrate Ao Lie's title to the king, and the princes and subjects were drunk, so tonight will definitely be safe. These days, Yuan Shao has been beaten by Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu a little frightened, and the officers and men in the army have been wearing their clothes all day long. At any time, he was in a state of preparing for battle, and his nerves were already extremely tense, and while Ao Lie's ministers were drunk, Yuan Shao also wanted his subordinates to have a good night's rest. In order to recover from the mental fatigue of the past few days.

The government of Hejian City has become Ao Lie's temporary palace, at this moment, the palace is brightly lit, under the lights, Ao Lie is sitting on the main seat with a high spirit, where is the slightest drunkness? Not only Ao Lie, but also the dozen or so important ministers on both sides of Ao Lie's left and right hands were also very sober, with a little excitement on their faces, which was not at all like the drunken appearance expected by Yuan Shao's detectives.

Lu Bu clenched his fist and waved his fist, and said excitedly: "Second brother, this sobering soup is really effective, a certain person has already drunk some of it and is even blurry, and he has completely sobered up after drinking the sobering soup for less than half an hour." ”

The other people felt the same way as Lu Bu's words, and nodded their heads to indicate that this was indeed the case. Zhou Yu, who was sitting on the side, admired Ao Lie even more, he didn't expect that Ao Lie was not only good at governing the army, but also had the ability to sober up, and what was even more unexpected was that Ao Lie actually used this as a cover to formulate a set of unpredictable combat plans. Just now, Ao Lie woke everyone up with decanting soup, and then told them that he was going to take this opportunity to attack Yuan's camp at night!

Throughout the afternoon, the Ao Lie Conference and the ministers, the banquet was very lively, Yuan Shao's spies could not get the news, they must have thought that Ao Lie's ministers were drunk to the point of being unconscious, and, in order to make the trick more real, Ao Lie himself and many ministers were really drunk, and the last was carried away by the elite of the bloody army, this is an indisputable fact, the state of drunkenness is not something that can be pretended casually, Yuan Shaojun's spies hiding in the shadows must have witnessed the drunkenness of everyone, which will make Yuan Shaoxin think it is true, Thus loosening the defenses of the large battalion.

After that, Ao Lie used homemade decanting soup to wake everyone up, and at the same time asked the Shadow members to secretly dispose of all the Yuan Shaojun spies in the city and prepare for the battle. Next, Ao Lie and the others can let go of their hands and feet and make a lightning raid on Yuan Shao's camp. As for the specific details of the entire operation, Ao Lie had already discussed it with Zhuge Liang and others.

Seeing that the sky outside was already dark, Zhuge Liang reminded Ao Lie in a low voice: "King Yan, it's almost time." Ao Lie nodded, picked up the arrow from the table, checked it in his hand, and then handed it to Lu Bu, and said at the same time: "Big brother, the first battle is still up to you." took 20,000 elite Longxiang troops and went straight to Yuan Shao's Chinese army camp. You don't have to pay attention to Yuan Jun in other aspects, you have others to stop you from it. Later, he personally led 10,000 bloody killing troops to be your backup! ”

Lu Bu happily took the arrow and replied loudly: "No! Lu Bu's joy is that Ao Lie trusts him as always, whether Ao Lie is a small Taishou or now he is the King of Yan, this has never changed.

Drawing out the second and third arrows, Ao Lie continued: "Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, the two of you are divided into two armies, the left and right, each leading 10,000 blood killing troops and 10,000 tiger army, and after the eldest brother leads his troops to break into the enemy camp, he will immediately kill from both sides, contain Yuan Shao's left and right battalions, and create opportunities for the eldest brother!" ”

Zhao Yun and Ma Chao both stood up and responded: "No! ”

The fourth arrow was handed over to the veteran Huang Zhong by Ao Lie: "General Huang, please lead 10,000 cavalry and make a detour behind Yuan Shao, but when you see the fighting in the camp, you immediately take advantage of the chaos to kill Yuan Shao's rear camp and set fire to Yuan's army's grain and grass!" ”

Huang Zhong took a step forward and said loudly: "No! The minister promised to burn Yuan Shao's grain cleanly! Huang Zhong was not convinced by the old man's temperament, and he jumped on the paper.

Pulling out two arrows again, Ao Lie handed them to Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng respectively, and said: "I also ask the two generals to lead 5,000 Jiangdong disciples to make a big show outside Yuan Shao's camp, galloping back and forth, thinking that they are suspicious soldiers, if they encounter the Yuan army that has fled, the two generals can lead their troops to attack it." ”

Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng were both upright people, and when they saw that Ao Lie did not regard himself as an outsider at all, they were very happy in their hearts, and they both stepped forward and replied loudly: "No! ”

After the seventh arrow was pulled out by Ao Lie, he stayed in his hand for a while before handing it to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, this battle is dangerous, you shouldn't have been allowed to fight, but if the family doesn't talk to the two families, so-and-so is no longer polite." Please join the two generals Pan Zhang and Jiang Qin, lead 10,000 Jiangdong infantry troops, and then let Tai Shici lead 20,000 troops to help you and set up an ambush on Yuan Shao's retreat, Yuan Shao will be defeated in this battle, your task is to intercept and kill Yuan Shao's army as much as possible, seize weapons and baggage, and if possible, cut off Yuan Shao's head. ”

Zhou Yu happily stretched out his hand to take the arrow and said: "King Yan is the master of my lord, and he is also the benefactor of the children of Jiangdong. Zhou Yu takes the order! ”

After the last one, Ao Lie turned his gaze to Zhuge Liang and handed over one of the last arrows: "Kong Ming, you, along with the others and the remaining Jiangdong soldiers, stay in the river. Although it is unlikely, it is also necessary to beware of Yuan Shaogou jumping off the wall in a hurry and returning to the river to kill the horse pistol. ”

Zhuge Liang took the arrow, then slowly stood up, and saluted to the generals who were about to go out, Lang Lang said: "Generals, Liang has no power to restrain the chicken, so I have to sit in the city and wait for the news of your triumph, Liang will prepare the West Wind Spirits and the merit book, after the battle, celebrate the generals!" ”

The generals were already full of confidence in this raid, and after hearing Zhuge Liang's words, they were even more imposing, and they all said loudly: "Please sit in the city with the military advisor, we will definitely live up to the high expectations of the military advisor!"
