Seeing Ao Lie frowning, Liu Hong's heart couldn't help twitching slightly, now that Liu Hong has no generals, if Ao Lie retreats, the consequences will be serious. In addition, Liu Hong also wanted to take this opportunity to test Ao Lie, whether it was worth entrusting him with the Han River.

Just when Liu Hong's patience was about to disappear, Ao Lie suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Holy Lord, the nephew is willing to lead the troops to the battle, but the nephew has two requirements. ”

Hearing the first half of Ao Lie's sentence, Liu Hong was overjoyed, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but sink his face. Liu Hong thought that Ao Lie was taking the opportunity to take advantage of it, so his voice also cooled down: "You can say it." ”

Ao Lie heard the dissatisfaction in Liu Hong's voice, and said with a smile: "Holy Lord, the nephew only needs 6,000 elite soldiers to break the enemy, but the nephew must personally select the soldiers, this is the first requirement. ”

Hearing that Ao Lie was just going to personally select the soldiers, rather than grabbing power as he thought, Liu Hong's face softened a lot, and he nodded happily: "Okay!" I agreed to this first point. ”

Ao Lie continued: "The second point is that the nephew begged the Holy Lord to give the minister three months, and during these three months, the court must not interfere with all the actions of the nephew. Three months later, the nephew will definitely put down the rebellion, and if he can't do it, he will be at the mercy of the saint! ”

"Good! I agreed! Liu Hongha said with a smile: "I have a little overlord today, and I can sit back and relax in the future." I will be generous again today, what reward do you want, just say! Knowing that his previous dissatisfaction with Ao Lie might lead to a conflict between the uncle and nephew of the monarch and the minister, Liu Hong made up for it and put forward the reward.

Ao Lie shook his head and said: "As a Han minister, the nephew is a member of the royal family, and it is natural to protect the family and defend the country, so how can you talk about rewards?" The Han Dynasty has been raising soldiers for 400 years, and today is the time for the Day of Righteous Death! ”

Liu Hong was deeply moved by Ao Lie's loyalty and courage, and regretted his suspicion of Ao Lie just now, so he said loudly: "Okay! It's really my big man! In this way, if you can kill 30,000 enemies this time, I will make you the general of the fourth grade of Fenwei, the marquis of a thousand households; If you can kill 50,000 enemies, I will make you the general of Sanpin Pingbei, the marquis of Juelu Wanhu! ”

As soon as Liu Hong's words came out, everyone was shocked!

Ao Lie puffed up his chest and said proudly: "The eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, and he is a three-foot Qingfeng sword in his hand, imitating the Huo Hussar in the past, and the golden iron horse seals the wolf Juxu, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!" In this battle, the ministers and nephews will definitely pacify the rebellion in Wancheng, cut off Zhang Shao's head, and dedicate it to the saint! ”

Liu Hong looked at Ao Lie's heroic posture and majestic spirit, and pointed out the style of the general who pointed out the country while talking and laughing, and he was also enthusiastic for a while, and blurted out: "If you can cut off Zhang Shao's head in the million army and quell the Wancheng Rebellion, I will make you a hussar general and a champion marquis!" It is the same as the founding hero Huo Huscai, and the Kaifu Yi is the same as the three divisions! ”

With Liu Hong's words, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked and inexplicable, and looked at Liu Hong in disbelief, thinking that they had heard it wrong. It wasn't until I found that other colleagues were also shocked that I realized that I was not hallucinating, Liu Hong really said that just now!

Who is Huo Huqi? That is the famous general who fought against the Huns during the reign of Emperor Wu, and the name of Huo Quai, until hundreds of years later, is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which shows how famous Huo Hussar was back then! The position of hussar general is a member of the first rank of the dynasty, and it is the official position second only to the general He Jin among the generals, plus the title of the champion marquis, which is the title of ten thousand households, it is really Xuanhe! Since the founding of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years, there are only three people who can obtain the title of champion marquis, which symbolizes the three armies of the brave crown! What's more, there is also the power of the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions! This is quite a great privilege, the meaning of the opening of the government is that you can appoint and dismiss officials by yourself, reward officials, if Ao Lie really gets the position of hussar general, he has the right to appoint and dismiss any official position below the hussar general, from the second rank to the ninth rank, there is no position that he can't appoint, this is equivalent to a small dynasty!

Looking at the ministers of the court today, there are only two people who have the power to open the government, the general He Jin and the Taifu Yuan Kui! But these two people are ministers of the imperial court, and even if they have the power to reward officials, they must only do so with Liu Hong's consent. On the other hand, Ao Lie is a local prince, and when he returns to Youbeiping, wouldn't that be equivalent to him being able to establish a country within a country in Youbeiping?

He Jin, Zhang Rang, Yuan Kui and others had the intention to oppose Liu Hong's opinion, but the current situation made them unable to say anything against it, in case they angered Ao Lie and flicked their sleeves back to Youbeiping, what about the rebellion in Wancheng? The distance between Wancheng and Luoyang is not far, even if it is a slow march, ten days is enough to reach, when the time comes, who will resist Zhang Shao's million-strong army? Who would dare to lead troops to resist? An army of millions sounds like just a bunch of numbers, but anyone who has been in the army knows what a terrible number! An army of millions of people, one person and one soak of urine are enough to turn Deyang Hall into a vast river!

He Jin and several other people who fought openly and secretly on weekdays glanced at each other, and they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes. This time, they were all losers, and the only victor was Ao Lie, of course, until he returned victoriously.

He Jin and the others were full of bitterness, but Ao Lie was not hypocritical at all, and said loudly: "Some saints! Huo Huqi's mantle, the nephew has taken it! ”

"Great! How fortunate I am that there is such a young hero as the emperor's nephew! 10,000 Imperial Forest Army, 20,000 West Garden Eight Captains, and 5,000 Henan Yin's garrison troops, you can choose! Liu Hong said heartily.

Ao Lie no longer hesitated, and immediately performed a military etiquette to Liu Hong, clasped his fists and said, "Order!" Then he turned and walked out of the main hall.

Out of the main hall, there was a Royal Forest Army took Ao Lie to the Royal Forest Barracks to select sergeants, Ao Lie carefully selected, in the Royal Forest Army to pick out more than 2,000 satisfied soldiers. Ao Lie's vision of picking soldiers is very accurate, not only requires strong and powerful, but also observes the mental outlook of the soldiers, only soldiers who are physically and mentally good will be selected by Ao Lie.

After picking out the soldiers in the Royal Forest Army, Ao Lie rode to the West Garden on the night snow dragon horse. Cao Cao, as one of the captains of the eight schools in the West Garden, had already gotten the news and came to wait for Ao Lie outside the camp.

After seeing Cao Cao, Ao Lie was slightly stunned, then turned over and dismounted, and said to Cao Cao: "Why is Meng De waiting here?" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "After the end of the early dynasty, I will come to wait for the general outside the camp gate, and later I will help the general select the elite soldiers and make a modest contribution to the general's suppression of the rebellion." ”

Ao Lie was jealous of Cao Cao, knowing that Cao Cao was indeed bent on supporting the Han family when he was young, but with the growth of age and the growth of power in his hands, coupled with the fact that the Han Dynasty was indeed terminally ill later, it was time to die, so Cao Cao gradually showed his ambition of self-reliance after middle age, and finally forced himself to be a very rare king with a different surname in the 400-year history of the Han Dynasty.

However, the current Cao Cao is still the same Cao Cao who is loyal to the Han family, and there has been no qualitative change. Therefore, although Ao Lie's attitude towards Cao Cao is jealous, it is also quite friendly: "There is Lao Mengde." Without further ado, let's go and recruit troops. ”

Entering the barracks, Ao Lie, with the help of Cao Cao, spent half a day selecting more than 3,000 soldiers, and there was still a gap of less than 1,000 people from the 6,000 that Ao Lie promised Liu Hong.

Looking at Ao Lie's unique vision of selecting troops, Cao Cao said with admiration: "Ao Huwei is really as wise as a torch, and the more than 3,000 warriors you picked can be said to be the most elite group of the eight captains." ”

Ao Lie sighed and shook his head and said: "It's a pity that my great Han, the dignified Heavenly Empire, can't even choose six thousand dead soldiers, which is worrying." ”

Cao Cao also sighed, suddenly remembered something, and said to Ao Lie: "By the way, there are still 5,000 county soldiers under Yin Wangyun in Henan, why don't you go and take a look, maybe you can select some elites." ”

"Okay, let's go there and have a look, then so-and-so will take his leave first." Ao Lie said to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao grabbed Ao Lie, leaned in front of Ao Lie and whispered: "General, as the so-called general is the courage of a soldier, the general must also be careful when choosing a general." Nowadays, most of the people in the army are incompetent, and a certain person recommended two people to the general, although they are not famous generals, but they can be used. ”

"Oh? Who are they? Ao Lie knew that the matter was serious, so he asked Cao Cao.

Cao Cao stretched out two fingers and gently read out the names of the two people: "Captain Wu Xi, Counselor Wu Qiong, these two brothers are one scholar and one martial artist, the general is here, it may be helpful to bring these two people." ”

glanced at Cao Cao, no matter what Cao Cao would become in the future, but the Cao Cao in front of him no longer made Ao Lie so annoying, so he said to Cao Cao sincerely: "Thank you Meng De for reminding me." So-and-so wrote it down. ”

Seeing Ao Lie's humble acceptance of his recommendation, Cao Cao was also infinitely happy, and he was also very happy to be able to do his part to quell the rebellion. He hugged his fists to Ao Lie and said: "I wish the general a victory, and he will return by cutting off the head of Zhang Shao!" ”

Ao Lie nodded, showed a confident smile, and then jumped on the horse's back and shouted, "Hurry! "According to the night, the snow dragon horse got Ao Lie's order and ran towards the Yin Mansion in Henan at a gallop.

Cao Cao stood in place, looked at Ao Lie's distant back, sighed and said, "The one who revives the Han family after a long time must be this young hero." ”

Just when Ao Lie rode his horse to Henan Yinfuya, in a house in Luoyang Dongcheng, two old men sat opposite each other, and on the table between the two, there was a game of chess pieces that had not yet been played.

The old man sitting on the left said with a smile: "How is it, Gongwei? So-and-so isn't wrong, right? This Wancheng rebellion can only be solved by this Ao Huwei. ”

The old man in his right hand picked up a chess piece, gently placed it in the corner of the chessboard, and said lightly: "Brother Yizhen, don't be busy making conclusions, for the time being, I only see Ao Huwei's heart of loyalty to the monarch and defend the country, and I haven't seen his courage to gallop across the field, you can make a judgment now, is it too early?" ”

It turned out that these two old men were framed by the Ten Standing Servants, dismissed from their official positions, and endowed the two famous generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who were idle at home.

Huangfu Song also picked up a chess piece, followed Zhu Jun's fall and put down the chess piece, and said: "Gongwei, you know that you are strict in governing the army, but this way of looking at things is not exactly the same thing as governing the army, how about we make a bet?" ”

Zhu Jun was aroused by Huangfu Song, and said with a smile: "It's rare that Brother Yizhen has such a good idea, but I don't know how to gamble?" ”

Stretching out his hand to put all the chess pieces on the chessboard aside, Huangfu Song said: "Just bet on this Wancheng chaos, as for the bet, hehe, a certain Zhilu said that you want to taste the two jars of West Wind in a certain cellar for a long time, and a certain will use these two jars of wine as a bet." ”

Not to be outdone, Zhu Jun patted the table and said, "Okay! It just so happens that there are two boxes of good Liuyang Snow and a good wine, and Brother Yizhen loves tea, which is an excellent bet. ”

After laughing a few times, Huangfu Song said: "Speaking of the West Wind Spirits and Liuyang Snow Tea, they were all developed by that kid, and now you and I are using the things he developed to bet on his victory or defeat, which is also interesting." Knocking on the table, Huangfu Song became serious: "A certain bet that he will definitely break the yellow scarf and return by beheading Zhang Shao." ”

Listening to Huangfu Song's serious tone, Zhu Jun asked in surprise: "Brother Yizhen is really so optimistic about Ao Huwei?" ”

Huangfu Song glanced at Zhu Jun and said lightly: "Perhaps, it won't be long before you and I have to call him Ao Hussar." ”

A trace of shock flashed in Zhu Jun's eyes, the seventeen-year-old hussar general and champion Hou! If this matter is really said correctly by Huangfu Song, then Ao Lie will be the fourth champion Hou in the four hundred years since the founding of the Han Dynasty! Moreover, he is one year younger than Huo Quzhi, who was powerful in the world back then! This can no longer be described by going against the sky, Zhu Jun searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and he couldn't even find the words to describe Ao Lie's demonic degree!
