"I want to worship you as a teacher!" Sun Ce said categorically.

After Ao Lie heard this, the look on his face suddenly became wonderful. What kind of rhythm is this? At the age of a good peer, how could this Jiangdong tiger come up with the idea of apprenticeship?

After considering the wording, Ao Lie said with some confusion: "Bo Fu, you see, we are about the same age, it's not suitable, right?" Otherwise, someone introduced Master to you, and he ...... old man."

"No, so-and-so will worship you as a teacher! Ao Hussar promised so-and-so just now, does he want to break his trust in front of the 100,000-strong army? Sun Ce, who has always been straightforward, rarely used words to squeeze Ao Lie.

Ao Lie is really embarrassed, he has not yet become a teacher, how can he be qualified to accept apprentices, but he did promise Sun Ce just now that as long as it is something he can do, he will never break his word. What's more, the 100,000 troops present are all watching.

"Okay. If his old man does not agree, you, the apprentice, will resolutely not accept it. Ao Lie said helplessly.

Sun Ce showed a satisfied smile on his face, threw his cloak back, knelt down on one knee and bowed to Ao Lie, and said loudly: "Sun Ce greets Master!" ”

Ao Lie nodded speechlessly and motioned for Sun Ce to stand up.

Sun Ce immediately jumped up from the ground, then took two steps back, and stood behind Ao Lie respectfully, completely looking like a disciple.

Ao Lie didn't have eyes in the back of his head, and he couldn't see Sun Ce's movements. But by clicking on the surprised looks of Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others in the audience, Ao Lie also guessed what Sun Ce looked like behind him. Unexpectedly, on a whim, he deliberately carved Sun Ce, and even made Sun Ce have the idea of apprenticeship. Secretly shaking his head and putting Sun Ce's matter aside for the time being, Ao Lie adjusted his mood, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Liaoxi, and said loudly: "Now, Zhang Ju has been conferred the head, and we finally have an explanation for the brothers who died in battle." But don't forget, Feiru is still in dire straits, the traitor Wei You is still wreaking havoc under Feiru City, and the people in Feiru City are still waiting for us to rescue. I intend that the army will rest for a day, during which the county soldiers from all over the country will return to their respective counties, and early tomorrow morning, Ben Hou will lead the Youzhou army to conquer Wei You. ”

The generals everywhere are all natives of Youzhou, and they all have the unique bold character of Yan Zhao Nan'er, and after hearing Ao Lie's dispatch, they all shouted: "Junhou, the chaos is undecided, how can we return?" Let's continue to follow the prince. ”

Ao Lie shook his head and said: "Everyone's wishes, Ben Hou understands them, but you are responsible for the safety of a county, so you should return early." Wei You and his ilk are just fish that have slipped through the net, Zhang Judu has already been awarded, can Wei You still set off any waves? ”

Hearing Ao Lie say this, the generals of the counties knew that Ao Lie had already made up his mind, and the generals of the counties were not under the command of Ao Lie, and they had been fighting with Ao Lie for so long, and they should indeed return, otherwise those people in the court with ulterior motives would inevitably say that Ao Lie was supporting the army and respecting himself. Although these generals are bold, they are not stupid, and they know a little about the creators of gossip and the calculations of intrigue between the DPRK and China.

So, the generals of the counties reluctantly said: "Then I will leave in the afternoon, and at noon, we will arrange a banquet and invite the prince to have a drink with us." ”

Ao Lieha laughed and said happily: "Okay, everyone comes from all counties in Youzhou, and it is fate to get together, at noon today, Ben Hou made an exception, and the whole army canceled the prohibition for two hours." Except for the people on duty, everyone drank bitterly. As for the soldiers on duty, they were given double their salaries, and afterwards each person was given a jar of Zephyr spirits. ”

Ao Lie's words aroused enthusiastic cheers from the 100,000-strong army. Most of the Youzhou people like to drink, in addition to the bold character of Youzhou people, drinking can also play a role in resisting the wind and cold. But the military discipline in Ao Lie's army is very strict, and no one dares to offend the military regulations easily, so there is no chance to drink at ordinary times, and today Ao Lie canceled the alcohol ban for two hours, which made 100,000 Yan Zhao Nan'er suddenly can't help cheering.

At noon, the banquet began on time.

Ao Lie knew that his alcohol consumption was not good, and he was completely relying on the advantage of good physical fitness to forcibly consume the alcohol in the liquor. Therefore, every time Ao Lie raised his glass, he tasted it lightly, and said that the commander should stay sober. The generals more or less knew the amount of alcohol Ao Lie, and as a commander, Ao Lie naturally would not be drunk by anyone, but secretly well-intentioned jokes were indispensable, mostly saying that Ao Lie used the public for personal gain, and used the commander's banner to cover the shortcomings of not being able to drink.

For these jokes, Ao Lie also laughed it off. Now Ao Lie is a typical ostrich style, the shortcomings of the amount of alcohol are not good, like an ostrich's head into the soil, how others like to say it, as long as they don't pour him wine.

Compared with Ao Lie, Sun Ce's alcohol consumption can be called massive. Sun Ce held the wine jar in his left hand and a bowl in his right hand, and when he met someone, he would pour a bowl of wine and drink it all with the other party. Yan Zhao Nan'er has a bold personality, prefers to deal with bold people, there are dozens of generals before and after to drink with Sun Ce, just a banquet, Sun Ce has already used his vast amount of wine like the sea, integrated into the generals under Ao Lie, the slight estrangement before the banquet, as Sun Ce kept raising the bowl to drink, disappeared without a trace.

After drinking the four major altars of West Wind Spirits, Sun Ce finally got a little drunk, and when he saw Zhao Yun passing in front of him, he grabbed Zhao Yun and said vaguely: "Xiao ...... Uncle Xiao, come, let's have a bowl. Zhao Yun smiled and touched the edge of the bowl with Sun Ce, and then drank it all. Sun Ce laughed, raised the bowl to his mouth, drank another bowl with a bang, and after swallowing the last drop of wine in the bowl, it was like the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, Sun Ce's majestic body could no longer stand, and bursts of wine came up, Sun Ce shook a few times, and fell to the ground with a pop.

Zhao Yun saw Sun Ce fall to the ground, stretched out his hand and pulled him twice, seeing that Sun Ce had no reaction, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It turns out that you don't have a thousand cups." ”

The banquet ended in a pleasant atmosphere. After the banquet, the generals of each county took a rest, sobered up for a while, and then gathered their soldiers and horses and left for Ao Lie. Ao Lie took Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Jia Xu to the gate of the city to see off people from all over the country.

Watching people from all walks of life leave Yuyang City one after another, Ma Chao said with emotion: "There are so many people and horses, it's a pity to leave." ”

Ao Lie smiled and shook his head, but did not speak, just glanced at Jia Xu with slanted eyes.

Jia Xu understood Ao Lie's intentions, and there were some things that Ao Lie was inconvenient to say. But Ao Lie attaches great importance to Ma Chao, a sworn brother, so he hinted with his eyes that Jia Xu explained Ma Chao. Jia Xu said softly to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, you only know one and don't know the other. Although these horses are numerous and well-trained, we must not leave them behind, otherwise, those high-ranking officials and nobles in the court will play right and wrong in front of the saints, saying that the lord is supporting the army and respecting himself. Although the lord is a hussar general, a champion marquis, and has the power to open a mansion, after all, he is only a county guard, and the 70,000 horses under his command are already exceeded, and there can be no more. Moreover, these horses are all county soldiers of each county, and they are responsible for guarding the safety of one side, and with the benevolence of the lord, they will definitely not take these horses as their own, and let them return to the counties and continue to protect the safety of the party, which is the best choice. ”

After listening to Jia Xu's explanation, Ma Chao suddenly came to his senses and muttered: "It turns out that there are so many doorways among them. ”

Ao Lie sighed and said, "This is politics. Meng Qi is straightforward, and these ways of power are not learned. But you can't be unclear and don't understand, otherwise one day, you will suffer a big loss after all. ”

Ma Chao nodded thoughtfully and agreed.

After sending off all the county soldiers, Ao Lie and the others returned to the Taishou Mansion. At present, this Taishou Mansion was built temporarily, and the original Taishou Mansion has been transformed into a palace by Zhang Ju.

When I walked into the hall, I saw that the people in the hall fell to the ground all over the place, and they were all generals who had been drunk in the banquet before.

Ao Lie smiled and said: "It seems that a certain person is too strict with them, and it is rare to have such a chance to relax, and they are all drunk." ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "It's no wonder that the lord, these days our army has been fighting many times, and the soldiers are already exhausted, with such an opportunity, it is inevitable that they will naturally relax and drink more." ”

Ao Lie nodded, and said: "Now is not the time to completely relax, tomorrow our army will go to Liaoxi, Wen He thinks, who is the right person to be the forward general?" ”

Without waiting for Jia Xu to reply, Sun Ce, who was originally drunk and fell to the ground, suddenly stood up, walked towards Ao Lie step by step, and muttered vaguely: "Teacher...... Master, since ancient times...... Uh, since ancient times, the division ...... Something to do with the disciple to serve...... His labor, a certain wish to be a pioneer. ”

Jia Xu smiled and said to Ao Lie: "My lord, I think that General Sun can serve as a forward general, and his subordinate Cheng Demou is a person from Youzhou and is familiar with geography. It couldn't be better. Saying that, Jia Xu also secretly pouted to both sides.

Ao Lie saw Jia Xu's hint and quietly looked in the direction of Jia Xu's hint, on one side was Ma Chao standing behind him, and on the other side was Tai Shici, who was drunk. These two people are both anxious, and they must fight for the position of the forward general, but Sun Ce is Ao Lie's disciple, and in terms of seniority, he is a generation lower than these two, since Sun Ce opened his mouth first, these two will not fight anymore. In this way, possible unpleasantness is avoided, even though it may be almost none.

From this subtle link, it can be seen that Jia Xu's planning is good and decisive, taking the most unpredictable people's hearts as the starting point, always maintaining the balance between the people under Ao Lie's command, and avoiding the occurrence of power struggles. I have to say that Jia Xu's mind is full of profound ways to control the subordinate, which has benefited Ao Lie a lot. As far as the staffing under Ao Lie's command is concerned at this stage, Jia Xu's thoughts are often redundant, because many people under Ao Lie's command have a fateful friendship with Ao Lie, and they have deep feelings for each other, and it is impossible to divide Ao Lie's power. But with the expansion in the future, when there are more and more people under Ao Lie's command, Jia Xu's mind can reflect its due role, so Jia Xu never forgets to mention Ao Lie slightly, so as not to mess up in the future.

Realizing Jia Xu's intentions, Ao Lie felt happy from the bottom of his heart. This shows that Jia Xu has sincerely considered for himself, what a ten-year appointment, to hell with it. At the moment, Jia Xu, even if he uses a whip to drive him away, I'm afraid he won't leave.

"Okay, let Bo Fu be the forward general!" Ao Lie made up his mind about this matter.
