Ao Lie rode his horse to the Yin Mansion in Henan, and the government had already received a notice from the imperial court, knowing that Ao Lie was coming to pick up troops, so several officials had been waiting at the door. Seeing Ao Lie riding a horse, an official hurriedly turned around and entered the palace to inform the palace Yin Wangyun.

After a while, Henan Yin Wangyun greeted him. It stands to reason that Henan Yin and Taishou are at the same level, but Henan Yin is where the capital Luoyang is located, so it is not called Taishou, but Yin, which is higher than the general Taishou status, so Henan Yin is a second-grade official, while the general Taishou is a third-grade official.

In terms of position, Wang Yun's status is higher than Ao Lie, but who is Ao Lie? He is the man of the year in Luoyang City in the past six months, and he is the prince of Northern Xinjiang with 20,000 male soldiers, so Wang Yun did not dare to slack off, and after getting the report from his subordinates, he immediately responded to it.

For Wang Yun in history, Ao Lie doesn't know much about the Dao, but he only remembers that Wang Yun's most famous thing is that after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he cleverly set up a series of beauty schemes, so that Dong Zhuo and his eldest brother Lu Bu turned against each other, so that he killed Dong Zhuo by the hand of Lu Bu. It is precisely because of this incident that Ao Lie in this life does not have a good sense of Wang Yun, and anyone who is careful about Lu Bu will be regarded as an enemy by Ao Lie.

However, now Ao Lie still has a place to use Wang Yun, so it is not good to be too tough on Wang Yun, so he dismounted and saluted: "There is Lao Wangfu Yin." ”

Wang Yun said with a smile: "Where is it, the general is loyal and courageous, and the righteousness is thin and cloudy, which makes the old man admire." Just now, the old man had ordered that the five thousand soldiers had been lined up, and they were waiting for the general to choose. ”

Ao Lie smiled and said, "Thank you Wang Fu Yin, without further ado, how about going to pick up troops?" ”

Wang Yun said with a smile: "The general is really fast-talking, so let's do it, the old man is busy with things in his hands, and he can't leave to accompany the general for a while, so let his subordinate Yang Feng accompany the general all the way." ”

"Well, okay, then there's General Lao Yangfeng, huh? Yang Feng? Ao Lie's eyes widened suddenly.

Wang Yun looked at the change in Ao Lie's expression and asked curiously, "Why, the general and General Yang know each other?" ”

"Well, I don't know, I've just heard of General Yang's name." Ao Lie didn't make a trace to hide it.

Although Wang Yun still had doubts in his heart, he was not good at asking, so he confessed his guilt to Ao Lie and left first.

Yang Feng is just an unpopular general, how could he make Ao Lie so surprised? In fact, to put it bluntly, Ao Lie, as a traverser, has the ability to resemble an unpredictable prophet, or the accumulation of culture in later generations, Yang Feng naturally can't enter Ao Lie's eyes, but Yang Feng's subordinates have a general who makes Ao Lie love - Xu Huang Xu Gongming! This Xu Huang in the romance of later generations, like Zhang Liao, is one of the five good generals under Cao Cao, and he can be regarded as a first-class general, a big axe makes it superb, the most important thing is that Xu Huang is good at training, and leading troops to fight is a good hand in the ranking of the Three Kingdoms!

Ao Lie didn't expect that he would see Xu Huang soon, if he could subdue Xu Huang, he would be more sure to conquer Zhang Shao this time.

With such thoughts, Ao Lie came to the military academy grounds, Yang Feng had already let the sergeants finish the formation, and when he saw Ao Lie coming, he bent down and saluted: "Xiaguan Yang Feng, meet General Huwei." ”

Ao Lie nodded casually, encouraged Yang Feng a few words, and then his eyes drifted to the big man standing in front of a team of sergeants, this big man was twenty-five or sixteen years old, holding a big axe in his hand, dignified and majestic.

Ao Lie walked straight over, looked at the big man who was more than a head taller than himself, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Dahan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the dignified general Huwei would ask the name of such a little captain as himself with a pleasant face, and replied loudly: "A certain is Hedong Xu Huang!" ”

Sure enough, it was him, and he was not mistaken. Ao Lie felt a burst of joy in his heart, Ha Luha, in the name of the Son of Heaven, received another fierce general. After looking at Xu Huang for a moment, Ao Lie suddenly said loudly: "Xu Gongming! Are you willing to gallop on the battlefield with Ben Hou and pacify the remnants of the Yellow Turbans? ”

Xu Huang was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he was ecstatic in his heart. It turned out that Xu Huang hated the Yellow Turban thieves the most, and he was forced to join Yang Feng's command at the beginning, Yang Feng was born in the Yellow Turban, which made Xu Huang feel very uncomfortable, and he always wanted to have a chance to break away from Yang Feng's command very early, if it wasn't for Ao Lie's sudden appearance, maybe he would have defected to Cao Cao soon after as he did in history.

It's a pity that there is no if, Ao Lie's unexpected rebirth in this world will inevitably break the original historical order to a certain extent, resulting in new changes. Xu Huang in front of him is a good example.

Xu Huang threw away the big axe, knelt on the ground, and saluted with both hands in fists: "I am fortunate to be favored by General Huwei, and I am overjoyed." In the future, I am willing to follow the general before and after the saddle and never rebel! ”

Ao Lie hurriedly helped Xu Huang up, and thought happily in his heart: Ha Luha, it's done! He successfully dug the corner of Cao Cao again.

Stretching out his hand to pull Xu Huang, Ao Lie walked towards the queue, and said to Xu Huang as he walked: "Gongming, you have been in the army for a long time, you must know the elite sergeants well, today I handed over the military power to you, and you selected a thousand sergeants as your descendants." ”

Listening to Ao Lie's words, Xu Huang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "This is absolutely unacceptable, a certain is just a small captain, how can he lead an army alone?" The general is too emotional. ”

The pace under his feet suddenly stopped, Ao Lie looked back at Xu Huang, and showed a confident smile: "What, Gongming doesn't have confidence in so-and-so?" Think that a certain can't pacify Zhang Shaoyu's party? ”

Xu Huang didn't expect Ao Lie to ask this question, and hurriedly waved his hand to show that he didn't mean that.

Looking at Xu Huang's eyes, Ao Lie paused word by word, and said very seriously: "When you return from a certain victory, you take the official position of a hussar general, you Xu Gongming is the Huben Zhonglang general of the Hussar General's Mansion!" ”

Looking at Ao Lie's firm and confident eyes, Xu Huang suddenly felt the blood boiling in his chest, as if Ao Lie in front of him was no longer a seventeen-year-old boy, but turned into a towering giant, tall and majestic. And the meaning of Ao Lie's words is also obvious, that is, to canonize Xu Huang as a general with military power, which also makes Xu Huang grateful. Xu Huang couldn't help but say: "Huang wishes to depend on the life and death of the lord, if there is a violation, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" ”

Ao Lie smiled and patted Xu Huang's arm, and didn't say anything more, pulling him to order soldiers.

By the end of the evening, Ao Lie had already selected 6,000 elite soldiers, of which there were 2,000 cavalry, 3,000 infantry and 1,000 archers. At the same time, Wu Qiong and Wu Xi brothers received a call from Ao Lie and also rushed over to report.

Dinner was held in Cai's mansion, and Ao Lie pulled Xu Huang, Wu Qiong, and Wu Xi, who had newly joined his command, over and asked them to meet with Zhao Yun to get acquainted with him. In addition, Ma Chao was relieved after learning that Ao Lie was going to recruit a million yellow turbans with 6,000 elite soldiers, so he rushed over with Pang De and Ma Dai, intending to go with Ao Lie, and Wang Yue's eldest disciple Shi A also said that he wanted to follow Ao Lie, even if he did not go to the battlefield, he would play the role of a guard to protect Ao Lie's personal safety.

This meal, in the laughter of everyone, was happily carried out.

Early the next morning, Ao Lie rarely participated in the early dynasty, and when the court reported to Liu Hong, the soldiers had been selected and could go out at any time. Liu Hong didn't expect that Ao Lie was going to go on the expedition in just one day of preparation, and he was very pleased, so he immediately ordered Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, to replace him and lead hundreds of civil and military officials to send Ao Lie on the expedition.

It was sent ten miles outside Luoyang City, and under Ao Lie's repeated persuasion, Liu Xie stopped his farewell and said goodbye in tears. A group of civil and military officials, either out of sincerity or pretending to be hypocritical, stepped forward to say goodbye to Ao Lie, wishing Ao Lie a victory. Ao Lie said goodbye one by one, and then the older army embarked on the road to the south.

Feeling the excitement of sitting down and shining in the night snow dragon horse, Ao Lie couldn't help but be a little enthusiastic, he hadn't fought for more than a year, not to mention the aggressive nature of the night snow dragon horse, even himself, a person who was intoxicated in Cai Yan's gentle countryside every day, couldn't wait to look up to the sky and howl. The value of a man can only be most perfectly reflected on the battlefield, in the test of blood and fire.

Zhao Yun took ten elites of the Blood Killing Battalion to act as scouts, not galloping back and forth, and reporting the collected information to Ao Lie one by one. Looking at the skillful riding skills and meticulous intelligence investigation of the elites of the Blood Killing Battalion, Xu Huang couldn't help but be amazed, he never expected that just the guards around Ao Lie had such outstanding skills.

When Ma Chao knew Xu Huang's thoughts, he couldn't help but grin, and said with a smile: "The second brother of a certain family has great ability, you just saw that the sesame mung bean is a little bigger, what's all the fuss?" At that moment, Ma Chao whispered to Xu Huang about their bloody wash of the Wei family, of course, this is also because Ao Lie said yesterday that Xu Huang is an absolutely trustworthy person, so Ma Chao will say these words to him.

After listening to Ma Chao's narration, Xu Huang's understanding of Ao Lie has deepened, and he can single-handedly train an elite thousand people like the Blood Killing Battalion, which is a big deal! Don't look at the bloody killing camp only has a thousand people, but once they fight on the battlefield, this thousand people are enough to be used as an army of 10,000. What's more, there is another one under Ao Lie, the Tiger Battalion with the same elite level as the Blood Killing Battalion, and the combat effectiveness of these two troops alone is enough to make people retreat.

The more Xu Huang thought about it, the more his heart swayed, if he could command such an elite army, what a wonderful thing it would be, which military general wouldn't want to have an elite army? Especially for a person with the potential to be a famous general like Xu Huang, he has such expectations.

As if he saw Xu Huang's thoughts, Ao Lie turned his head to Xu Huang and said: "The soldiers under the command of a certain commander are divided into five teams, and the blood killing battalion is the personal guard of a certain one, which is commanded by Zilong's junior brother; The Tiger Battalion was a hoplite, commanded by Wen Yuan; In addition, Ziyi is in charge of the cavalry, Xiahou Gongquan is temporarily the commander of the infantry army, and the last soldier and horse is now the 6,000 elites. ”

When Xu Huang heard this, he was overjoyed, it is the wish of all famous generals to be able to take charge of an army alone, and Xu Huang is naturally no exception, although Xu Huang is still not famous, but this does not erase his potential to become a famous general. While thanking Ao Lie, Xu Huang felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said: "I just joined the command of the lord and took charge of an army alone, I'm afraid something is wrong." ”

"Ha Luha, there's nothing wrong with it, so-and-so has the final say!" Ao Lie laughed heartily, and then rode forward. Xu Huang was left in a daze with surprise and joy.

Zhao Yun quietly came to Xu Huang's side and said: "Gongming doesn't know, Senior Brother Mo Han has a special ability, anyone who is favored by him must be a person with a unique skill, and he has never missed a look." And everyone who is favored by him will be immediately entrusted with important tasks. ”

Listening to Zhao Yun's words, Xu Huang looked at Ao Lie's back, and there was a heartfelt sense of belonging in his eyes. Many years later, when Ao Lie pacified the four seas and unified the world, Xu Huang, who was the second general and the Marquis of Yangping, once spit out the truth after drinking, saying that the most correct thing he did in his life was to follow the lord as a captain. It only took Ao Lie a quarter of an hour to appoint Xu Huang to lead the army alone, but Xu Huang spent his life repaying Ao Lie's trust in him, that is, completely entrusting his life to Ao Lie's hands.
