In the next three months, Ao Lie did not leave Yanjing for half a step, and his daily life was very regular, almost completely a life of three points and one line.

Every morning, he held a court meeting with hundreds of officials of the DPRK and China, which lasted about an hour, and gave instructions on the major and minor affairs of the country; Subsequently, Ao Lie will come to the barracks to supervise and inspect the drills of the newly recruited soldiers in the recent period, almost the whole morning, Ao Lie will spend in the barracks, and even many times, he will stay in the barracks and eat a big pot of rice with the soldiers, so that the recruits gradually feel Ao Lie's care for the low-level sergeants, which greatly accelerates the cultivation process of their military soul; After lunch, Ao Lie would come to the general prison to inspect the achievements of Wang Hun and Ma Jun and other skilled craftsmen, and from time to time praise them, encouraging these unknown heroes behind the scenes, all the weapons and equipment needed by the generals to build better.

Occasionally, Ao Lie will also go to the bazaar in Yanjing City to pay a private visit to investigate the people's situation, once it is found that there is a bad reputation among the people, Ao Lie will immediately arrange a hundred battles of bloody investigation and evidence collection, if it is found that there are indeed fish and flesh of the people, corruption and perversion of the law, will be severely punished. But fortunately, in the past three months, Ao Lie has only heard bad words from two officials of the DPRK and China in the mouths of the people, and after verification, only one of these two people has indeed filled his own pockets, and the other has only had some problems in communication with the people because of his personality, and he has not really violated the law. There were more than 200 Chinese military officials in the DPRK, and the ratio of 1 in 200 still made Ao Lie feel very pleased with the clarity of the officials, and of course, the corrupt official who bent the law naturally could not escape the fate of falling to the ground.

Every evening, Ao Lie would step on the sunset back to his palace, go straight through several halls, and come to the harem. Share the joy of family with your family. In the past three months, Ao Lie would personally teach Liu Kun for two hours every day after dinner, one of which was to read and write, and the other was to cut the marrow for him, and supervise him to practice the art of Tai Chi. In the past three months, Xiao Liu Kun's progress has been very obvious, and he has been able to accurately recognize and write more than 300 words fluently on the Chinese characters on the common enlightenment literacy encyclopedia in Yanjing Academy. Under Ao Lie's guidance, the meridians in his body were warmed and combed, plus he was originally a pure yang body, and there were not many impurities in his body, so he laid a solid foundation early and paved the way for future martial arts.

After three months, Ao Lie was no longer as idle as before, because after three months of screening, Long Xiang Heavy Cavalry became the last elite force to complete the expansion. The focus of Ao Lie's work. Immediately shifted to the training of the dragon riders. Because it was the latest to complete the expansion of the army, compared with the other three elite troops, the overall combat effectiveness of the Longxiang Heavy Cavalry had fallen behind. If you want to catch up and keep pace with the other three elites, you have to pay far more blood and sweat than ordinary people, whether it is Ao Lie or Lu Bu. Whether it is a veteran or a new soldier, they have to go through this arduous process in order for the Longxiang Army to live up to the prestige of the world's first heavy cavalry. The entire Longxiang army, from top to bottom, had to train at high intensity every day until the last person was so tired that he crawled to the ground.

With the efforts of the dragon riders, the results they have reaped are also amazing. In just three months, they perfectly reformed a whole in the arduous training, and their combat effectiveness caught up with a hundred battles! Ao Lie also took advantage of these three months, put himself back in the furnace, most of the time every day is training with the Long Xiang heavy riders, to be honest, he has not been such a systematic high-intensity training for a long time, during this time, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, five tiger generals, eight good generals, have become the object of his martial arts, through different styles, after fighting with people with different understandings of martial arts, Ao Lie's martial arts have reached a higher level, breaking through the bottleneck twice in a row, made the Wuji Jiuyang Gong break through to the unprecedented twenty-fourth level, and at the same time, his own strength, after this period of hard work, has also improved significantly.

Now even if the overlord Xiang Yu comes back from the dead, Ao Lie has full confidence and competes with him for the title of overlord. However, although he was exhausted from practicing every day, Ao Lie never interrupted the cultivation of Liu Kun, he sincerely hoped that his son could be stronger than himself and better continue the inheritance of the Han people, and at the same time, he also looked forward to the day when he could complete the agreement between their father and son, and appear on the battlefield together to scold Fang Xuan!

In the half year of Ao Lie's fierce soldiers, Cao Cao, who was in the Central Plains, was not idle, he used this time, while doing the same thing as Ao Lie, recruiting troops to expand his strength, and at the same time sending Sima Yi to wave troops to Jizhou three times, trying to recapture Wei County, and even take Jizhou. It's a pity that Ao Lie had already calculated that Cao Cao would make this move, so he transferred Zhuge Liang from Yizhou back to Jizhou and let him take charge of the overall situation of Jizhou again. With the help of Zhang He, Xu Huang, and some civil and military officials transferred from Yizhou and Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang tried his best to protect Jizhou, and defeated Sima Yi three times in succession, allowing him to return three times in vain.

In history, it was Zhuge Liang who attacked, and Sima Yi defended, and the defending side had a certain advantage with the help of geographical advantages, so Sima Yi in history was able to resist Zhuge Liang's several offensives tenaciously under the dual factors of his own wisdom and geographical advantage. But now, reality and history have been reversed, Zhuge Liang is in Jizhou, and he has a much better team than in history for his command and dispatch, but Sima Yi had to be forced by the situation and pressure, and became the main attacker. What's more, the current Zhuge Liang is no longer the Zhuge Liang in history, under the drive and cultivation of Ao Lie, whether it is his heart and talent, Zhuge Liang is stronger than in history, and he is more comfortable in dealing with his old enemy Sima Yi.

Half a year later, the expansion of the Northern Han Army had been basically completed. The newly conscripted soldiers, as planned by the Northern Han monarchs, numbered 500,000 people, making the total strength of the regular army of the Northern Han Dynasty reach an intimidating 2.4 million! This does not include the 200,000 troops of the four elite troops and the Shadow members scattered all over the place. Of course, Xu Shu's Yizhou, Pang Tong's Jingzhou and Sun Quan's Jiangdong, the old soldiers in these three regions are an important reason for the surge in the number of regular troops in the Northern Han Dynasty.

After the expansion of the army was completed, Ao Lie convened a military meeting of civil and military officials, at which the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty, according to the huge number of soldiers of the existing regular army, finally made a decision to divide the 2.4 million regular army into five major legions according to the region, and guard them in all directions of the Northern Han Dynasty.

The five major legions are: the Northern Legion with Youzhou as the mainstay, supplemented by Guang, Ming, and Tongzhou, with Ao Lie himself as the first corps commander, followed by Lu Bu and Zhao Yun; The Guanzhong Army, which is mainly based in the Guanzhong region and supplemented by the Sanfu region and Liangzhou, is headed by Ma Chao, followed by Pang De, Ma Dai and Zhu Hao; The Southwest Army, which was mainly based in Yizhou and supplemented by the South and Central regions, was headed by Xu Shu, followed by Meng Shu; The Southern Army, which was mainly based in Jingzhou and supplemented by Jiangdong and Jiaozhou, was headed by Pang Tong, followed by Zhou Yu and Lü Meng; Because Jizhou's geographical location is in the center of the war with Cao Cao, and it is densely populated and economically rich, it forms a legion with Jizhou alone, named the Hebei Legion, Zhuge Liang deservedly became the first corps commander, followed by Zhang He and Xu Huang.

These five major legions, in addition to their respective local garrisons, each legion commanded 450,000 regular troops of the Northern Han Dynasty, and only the Northern Army Corps was equipped with 600,000 regular troops because it was the political, military and economic center of the Northern Han Dynasty. In order to deal with emergencies, we can support the Quartet in the shortest possible time.

Of course, the formation of the five major legions is bound to carry out some decentralization of centralized power, and the people who are now in control of the five major legions are Ao Lie's henchmen, so naturally there will be no self-respecting situation, but they can't not grow old for a lifetime, including Ao Lie, they will eventually come to the end of their lives, Ao Lie doesn't want the five major legions to form a trend of tail failure, and let his son Liu Kun deal with the hidden dangers left by himself, so Ao Lie is forming the five major legions at the same time, The five major legions did not have the power to expand the army and levy taxes privately, and they had to be approved by the military government and the government government before they could obtain sufficient military expenses and salaries. At the same time, Ao Lie also made a provision that the five legions were only applicable in wartime, and when the war was over, he would reduce the number of soldiers of the five legions and return the military power to the state.

The establishment of the five major armies officially announced to all the people in the world that the Northern Han Dynasty had completed the encirclement of the Central Plains, and once the Northern Han was ready internally, the military strength of the Northern Han Dynasty with Ao Lie as the supreme master was bound to give a thunderous blow to Cao Cao's troops in the Central Plains! Accomplish the great cause of dominating the world! (To be continued......)
