After staying in Jiangdong for a month, Ao Lie made the decision to return to the court. The elite of the Qilin Army remained in Jingzhou under the command of Gan Ning, and the remaining three elites will return to Yanjing with Ao Lie. Although the remaining three elites except for the Longxiang Heavy Cavalry have completed the expansion of the army, and the individual combat ability is not bad, but the old elite and the newly added elite cannot be completely compatible, and the tacit understanding between each other still needs a period of cultivation. Therefore, Ao Lie's purpose of bringing all these three elites back to Yanjing was also to allow them to be further tempered in the hands of Xu Rong, Gao Shun and other military training experts, so that the elite troops after the expansion could be completely pinched into a whole. This point will play a crucial role in the future battle against Cao Cao.

As for the Qilin Army and the newly established Northern Han Water Army, Ao Lie was not worried about their prospects at all, Gan Ning and Zhou Yu were both top masters of water warfare, if even they couldn't build these two water armies, then no one in the world would be able to do this.

Before leaving, Ao Lie also issued two edicts, one was the appointment of Sun Quan, officially appointing Sun Quan as the first Yangzhou pastor of the Northern Han Dynasty, sitting in Jianye and controlling the entire Jiangdong. Originally, Ao Lie intended to continue to let Sun Ce take on this role, but Sun Ce insisted on following Ao Lie to fight on the battlefield, Ao Lie weighed it again and again, and thought that it was indeed more suitable for Sun Ce to be the new Yangzhou than Sun Ce, after all, Sun Ce's strengths can only be fully reflected on the battlefield, and governing internal affairs is not his forte, rather than staying in Jiangdong and doing nothing, it is better to let him follow him, anyway, he will have to fight with Cao Cao in the future, and it is also a big help to have such a tiger general by his side.

The second edict is the transfer of two personnel. These two people, one is Bu Qi, who once contradicted Ao Lie, and this person dares to speak out. At the same time, he is also a good hand in internal affairs, Ao Lie intends to bring it back to Yanjing to cultivate, over time, Ao Lie believes that Bu Qi will definitely grow into a pillar of talent, and contribute to the towering building of the Northern Han Dynasty again. The other person is Lu Xun, who is only 14 years old. Don't look at Lu Xun's young age now, and he hasn't really shown himself, but Ao Lie clearly knows that when this kid grows up, he is a super talent who will enter the picture. belongs to the kind of extremely rare person who can grasp both internal and external affairs, such a person, Ao Lie will definitely not miss it. And in terms of Lu Xun's age, he still has a lot of room for improvement, and Ao Lie doesn't want to pull out the seedlings to help him grow, so that he can now enter the upper echelons of the Northern Han Dynasty and bring him back to Yanjing, Ao Lie wants him to enter the Yanjing Academy to continue his studies for a few years. I believe that in the Yanjing Academy, Lu Xun will definitely learn a lot of things, and when he really grows up, it will not be too late to recall him back to the army.

On the day when Ao Lie's class returned to the court. The newly appointed Yangzhou Musun Quan brought nearly 100 civil and military officials headed by Zhang Zhao and Lü Meng to the riverside to see off Ao Lie. In order to return to Yanjing as soon as possible, Ao Lie naturally chose to take the waterway and set off from Jiangdong. Follow the Yangtze River into the sea, then detour back to Jiaozhou Bay, and then land from Jiaozhou Bay. It passed through Liaodong and finally turned back to Yanjing.

When Ao Lie led everyone to board the warship, Sun Quan, who was standing on the shore, suddenly took a few steps forward, and the boots on his feet had even stepped into the icy river water, but Sun Quan waved his hand in the direction of Ao Lie and Sun Ce as if he didn't know, and shouted: "Master-take care!" Big brother - remember to come back often to see -"

Ao Lie didn't speak, just waved his hand at Sun Quan casually, he knew that separation was the most unacceptable thing, and on the occasion of separation, he wanted to leave more time for Sun Ce, so that he could say a short goodbye to his brother.

Sun Ce strode to the side of the ship, waved his right arm vigorously at Sun Quan, and shouted at the same time: "Zhongmou! Good students govern Jiangdong, don't live up to the high expectations of your master! Remember, ask Zhang Zhao if you don't decide on internal affairs, and ask Zhou Yu if you don't decide on foreign affairs. You and my brother, there will be a day when we will get together, take care-"

When Ao Lie's warship gradually moved away, and finally turned into a small imperceptible black spot on the sea level, tears came out of Sun Quan's eyes, and his vision instantly became blurred. From childhood to adulthood, Sun Ce took good care of him, the two brothers never had a fierce dispute, behind Sun Ce's back, Sun Quan would feel very at ease, however, now Sun Ce has temporarily left him, he can no longer rely on his brother all the time, at this moment, in Sun Quan's heart, while feeling a huge loss, he has also strengthened his belief, only to govern Jiangdong well, is his greatest feedback to Ao Lie and Sun Ce.

"Master, big brother, don't worry, the power will definitely live up to expectations, and Jiangdong will definitely be prosperous. Ask Zhang Zhao if you don't decide on internal affairs, ask Zhou Yu if you don't decide on foreign affairs, eldest brother, Brother Quan must keep this sentence in mind, don't dare to forget it......" Sun Quan whispered to himself firmly in the direction where Ao Lie and Sun Ce were gone.

From the Yangtze River into the sea, and then on the rough sea, I don't know how long, the warship carrying Ao Lie and others finally docked and came to the transit station Jiaozhou Bay. When Ao Lie stepped off the warship and was down-to-earth, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: "It feels so good to be down-to-earth!" "It's not just Ao Lie, the elites of the Northern Han Dynasty who were invincible on land in the past have now all become frosted eggplants, listless one by one. After nearly a month of sailing, they have already been exhausted by tossing, the northerners are not good at water warfare, this is not said with their mouths, but the geographical environment that cannot be changed, if it were not for the super physical fitness of these elites, if they were replaced by ordinary northern soldiers, I am afraid that some people would have been unable to support it.

After resting for two days at the naval base in Jiaozhou Bay, Ao Lie felt that the soldiers under his command had fully recovered from fatigue, so he gave the order to march to Yanjing. Compared with the journey on the sea, the road from Jiaozhou Bay to Yanjing can be described as a thousand miles in a day, more than 100,000 elites, and it only took five days to gallop all the way back to Yanjing.

Welcomed by the civil and military officials who stayed behind, Ao Lie and others finally returned to their hometown after more than half a year of campaigning. Ignoring the bath and change of clothes, Ao Lie took the dust of his body and announced the convening of an emergency meeting. All the officials above the third grade were present, and under Zhao Yun's narration, they began to summarize and summarize the four battles of the Han army for more than half a year. This is what Ao Lie thought of on the way back this time, he wanted to use the way of summarizing and summarizing to straighten out the advantages and disadvantages of the soldiers under his command, and in the next drills, targeted drills were carried out to make up for their weaknesses. In this way, the army under his command can be matured and truly find and solve problems. It will have a positive effect on the expanded elite troops, as well as the ordinary troops that are about to be expanded.

While Zhao Yun was talking, other people interjected from time to time to express their opinions, analyzing the specific battle examples on the battlefield, and some classic battle examples also aroused heated discussions among everyone, and repeatedly scrutinized, refining the essence of them, and banning the unsatisfactory points.

This discussion lasted for more than four hours, and no one, including Ao Lie, left the venue halfway, and even lunch was eaten at the meeting. It wasn't until the sun was about to set that everyone ended the discussion and listed the advantages and disadvantages of a series of battles in an orderly manner, which Jia Xu recorded.

When the discussion ended, Ao Lie made a concluding speech: "Zhongqing, this three-front operation of our army is a severe test for our army, and facts have proved that our army is a team that can fight tough battles, no matter who the enemy is, how powerful he is, in front of our elite soldiers, their final result can only be to accept defeat!" However, our army must not be complacent because of this, because the so-called ruler is short and long, and the officers and men of our army are not invincible, and the defects that we have just summed up and summed up still need to be corrected as soon as possible in order to cope with the next war. ”

Speaking of this, Ao Lie suddenly stood up, his eyes were firm and sharp, and his tone became excited: "Now, there is one last enemy in front of us, and that is Cao Cao who is entrenched in the Central Plains. If we want to complete the great cause of unification and return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous era, we must defeat Cao Cao and return the states of the Central Plains to the Han Dynasty. Although Cao Cao has been repeatedly defeated in the hands of our army, his strength should not be underestimated, and he can be called the toughest opponent of our army. Therefore, while correcting the shortcomings of the officers and men in the army, we must also expand the army, and it is a large-scale expansion! Strive to defeat Cao Cao's troops in one fell swoop and pacify the world! ”

Ao Lie's words were said by everyone present with great excitement. That's right! Since the beginning of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the Han Dynasty has fallen into a fragmented situation, and there are countless warlords who have successively dominated one side, and even Yuan Shu and others have openly usurped the emperor, since Ao Lie was born, he begged Dong Zhuo, destroyed Zhang Ju, killed Li Dao, beheaded Guo Yan, punished Yuan Shu, broke Yuan Shao, subdued the alien races in northern Xinjiang, and pacified the Qiang rebellion, which made the pattern of the world gradually become clear.

However, at this time, Liu Xie, the last emperor of the old Han Dynasty, unfortunately died at the hands of Liu Bei, which shook the world, and Liu Bei and Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to rise, entrenched in the land of East and West Sichuan and Jingxiang, and became the king of Hanzhong; One is located in the four states of the Central Plains, the tiger roars the world, and ascends to the throne of King Wei. set off the largest battle for power in the world, and at the critical moment, it was Ao Lie who stepped forward and established the Northern Han Dynasty in the name of the regent, continuing the orthodoxy of the Han people. Now, Liu Bei's forces have been completely wiped out, as long as Cao Cao can be defeated again, then the Northern Han Dynasty will continue the glory of the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty and become another super power!
