Chapter 11 Autumn Soldiers on the Battlefield
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two years have passed. In the past two years, several major events have happened around Ao Lie.
First of all, his eldest brother Liu He completed his wedding a year ago, although the wedding was not too grand, but the famous families in the Eastern Han Dynasty attached great importance to etiquette, so Liu He's wedding was made from early morning to dusk, which can be regarded as a ceremony. This made Ao Lie, who was watching the ceremony from the sidelines, cry out in his heart. If the groom official is replaced by Ao Lie, maybe he will immediately run away. What makes Ao Lie even more helpless is that many celebrities have come to congratulate him, naturally his future father-in-law - the world-famous Hongru Cai Yong, the most headache for Ao Lie is that this time Cai Yong did not come alone, but also brought his only pearl in the palm of his hand, Cai Yan, who is known as a talented woman. That is, Ao Lie's future wife.
In this era, chastity is not taken seriously, so there is no custom such as not being able to see each other before marriage in later generations. Liu Yu and Cai Yong did not prevent Ao Lie and Cai Yan from meeting, but tried their best to promote their own space. Trying to let the two know each other further and deepen their relationship. Fortunately, on the second day of the wedding, Cai Yong left with Cai Yan due to something. Let Ao Lie breathe a long sigh of relief. However, after more than two days of contact, Ao Lie felt that Cai Yan was indeed a talented woman, and she was the kind that captivated the country and the city. After Cai Yan listened to the seven-character quatrain written by Ao Lie to Lu Bu at Shuang'er, it took a stick of incense to adapt this quatrain into a piano song, which was clear and agitated, and very beautiful. When parting, Cai Yan blushed and asked Ao Lie what his impression of himself was, which was tantamount to asking if he was satisfied with the marriage between the two. Ao Lie spent a lot of effort, and he was embarrassed to say that he liked, liked or liked it very much, so he had to write a poem "Seeing Joy" for Cai Yan. Seeing each other: Alone in the West Building without a word, the moon is like a hook, the lonely Wutong deep courtyard locks Qingqiu, the cut is constant, the reason is still messy, it is sorrowful, and there is a taste in the heart. Cai Yan blushed, cherished the small order written by Ao Lie, and then took out his handkerchief and wrote eight words on it: If you cherish each other, the concubine will live up to you. In this way, Ao Lie and Cai Yan ended in a hurry when they met for the first time, but in the hearts of both of them, they left each other's shadows. Ao Lie is no longer as resistant to marriage as before.
There is another incident that happened shortly after Liu He's wedding. Because the struggle between relatives and eunuchs in the DPRK and foreign countries became increasingly fierce, the relatives headed by the general He Jin and the eunuchs such as the Ten Standing Attendants headed by Zhang Rang wantonly recruited party henchmen in order to compete for power and profit. Later, Liu Hong, the spirit emperor, found that although Liu Hong was mediocre, he was not mediocre enough to allow the two factions to arbitrarily divide the royal power, so Liu Hong also promoted a group of people among the royal family to take up important positions in the capital Luoyang, and Ao Lie's eldest brother Liu He was recruited as a servant and went to Luoyang to take office.
Aside from the above few things, there is nothing else that can impress Ao Lie. In the past two years, Ao Lie spent most of his time going to Zhengyang Valley to study martial arts with Lu Bu and learn from each other. In the past two years, Ao Lie's martial arts can be said to be a thousand miles a day, and his strength has become greater, and he also combined Tai Chi marksmanship and flip hand eighteen slashes according to the experience of his previous life, and created his own Tai Chi eighteen slash marksmanship, which is a school of its own. And because Lu Bu has cultivated the relationship between the Nine Transformations Heavenly Dragon Technique, his martial arts are also a hundred feet and a step further. The competition between the two also extended from the beginning of the foot battle to the cavalry battle, hidden weapons, bows and arrows, fists and feet, strength competitions, etc., in addition to the wine, the two almost all the things that could be sparred.
At this moment, in Zhengyang Valley, as in the past, there was a sound of gold and iron colliding with weapons. It turned out that the two brothers, Lu Bu and Ao Lie, were engaged in a battle of horsemanship.
Lu Bu urged the horse to gallop, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand suddenly stabbed out, rushing to Ao Lie's left shoulder. Ao Lie shook the reins, sat down and jumped half a step to the side, dodging Lu Bu's attack. Immediately, Ao Lie waved the spear in his hand, and when he circled one by one, three spear flowers shook out in the air, stabbing Lu Bu's left and right shoulders and eyebrows respectively.
Lu Bu shouted well, Fang Tian painted the halberd into a straight stab and a horizontal wheel, and slashed obliquely towards Ao Lie's waist, at the same time, the halberd tail cocked, stretched out his left hand and clenched it into a fist, and punched hard at the halberd tail, the huge force made the halberd tail vibrate, and at the same time of high-speed shock, it actually conjured up three halberd tails, and greeted the three spear flowers that Ao Lie stabbed. This move was the killing move that Lu Bu had comprehended from the Nine Transformations Heavenly Dragon Technique. In the past two years, Ao Lie has fused Tai Chi marksmanship and flip hand eighteen slashes into a new set of Tai Chi eighteen slashes, Lu Bu is naturally not idle, although because the time to practice the Nine Transformations Heavenly Dragon Technique is still short, the comprehension is not very thorough, but it also correspondingly integrates the things that have been comprehended into his own halberd method, although it has not yet reached a self-created marksmanship like Ao Lie, but it also makes the already powerful halberd method more unpredictable.
Ao Lie missed the blow, and immediately urged the Night Snow Dragon Horse to speed up and rush towards Lu Bu, and at the same time, his marksmanship changed, and he held the tip of the gun and the handle of the tail of the gun with both hands, and smashed it towards Lu Bu in an arc. This blow fused the impact power of the Shine Night Snow Dragon Pony with the huge strength of Ao Lie himself. Because the spear was under the tremendous force of Ao Lie, the barrel of the spear was bent into a bow. Seeing Ao Lie's move, Lu Bu didn't dare to be careless, Fang Tian drew the halberd one by one, slightly accumulated, and then stabbed out again, pointing directly at the center of the gun in Ao Lie's hand, which had become a bow.
Seeing Lu Bu's change of moves, a smile appeared on the corner of Ao Lie's mouth. Seeing that the tip of the halberd was about to pierce the barrel of the gun, Ao Lie's left hand holding the handle end of the tip of the gun suddenly let go, and the barrel of the gun that was bent into a bow was released, and the tip of the spear slashed towards Lu Bu with a huge inertia.
Lu Bu was caught off guard by Ao Lie's unexpected change of moves, and hurriedly blocked with a halberd, each with a shot and a halberd colliding with the power of the master's almost giant beast.
Bellsโbellsโโโ bellsโโโโ echoes are endless, showing how violent this collision really was. The two horses staggered past each other, and each ran forward a dozen paces away, and at the same time turned the horse's head, so that Lu Bu and Ao Lie beat the horse against each other. However, the two of them glanced at each other, and neither of them was attacking. There is only one reason, the spear in Ao Lie's hand has broken into two. You must know that Lu Dao's Fang Tian Painting Halberd is a divine weapon, and the spear in Ao Lie's hand is just a weapon made of ordinary mortal iron. In the past two years, I don't know how many times this kind of scene has appeared, the weapons destroyed by Fang Tian's painting halberd can really be said to be unknown, if it weren't for Shuang'er's income from selling golden silk leaves, I'm afraid Ao Lie wouldn't even be able to afford a short sword.
"The second brother is really making rapid progress, it's only been two years, and he can fight me for fifty rounds." Lu Bu praised from the bottom of his heart.
Ao Lie threw away the half-piece of the gun in his hand, glanced at the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in Lu Bu's hand with envy, and said, "One day, I will also get a divine weapon, so as not to be pressed and beaten by my eldest brother all the time." Suddenly, a light and shadow flashed in his mind, and Ao Lie remembered the Formation-Breaking Overlord Gun in the Secret Treasure of Emperor Guangwu, which was the weapon of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu. If you cooperate with the Tai Chi Eighteen Slashes, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings? However, the matter of treasure exploration is not in a hurry, and he now has no soldiers and no generals, even if he takes out the secret treasure of Guangwu, it will not last, and he may be taken away by others. Let's wait until we have built a reliable team.
At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded from outside the valley, and the two brothers in the valley turned their heads to look at the mouth of the valley, only to see a sergeant dressed in the armor of the county soldier galloping towards him. When he entered the valley and saw Ao Lie, he patted his horse and ran in front of Ao Lie, then turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and said to Ao Lie: "Second son, Lord Taishou urgently recruits the second son to return home." Ao Lie recognized the sergeant's name as Mustache, a tun commander under his father Liu Yu. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the military system of the pre-Qin Dynasty was followed, with five people and one army, and one army commander; Ten people and one tithe, and one she; A team of 50 people, with a team leader; 100 people in a tun, set up a tun chief; 500 people for a song, set up a military marquis; 1,000 people for one department, one lieutenant; A battalion of 5,000 men was commanded by a general. The mustache who came to report the news was a tun commander, and he had a hundred and ten sergeants under his command.
Ao Lie frowned and asked, "Did Father say what happened?" The mustache replied: "Early this morning, an urgent report of the military situation was sent from the border, and the Huns entered the country again to plunder, and the lord was angry about this matter. Ao Lie's face sank, and his voice carried the meaning of slaughter: "The Huns have repeatedly violated the border, if they don't give a blow this time, I'm afraid they will go to heaven instead." The mustache glanced at Ao Lie, and stopped talking. Ao Lie looked at the mustache and asked, "What else is going on?" The mustache sighed and said, "Lord Taishou is not only angry because of the invasion of the Huns, I heard that the young grandmother was plundered by the leader of the Huns, King Zuoxian, and Lord Taishou was furious about this. โ
"Young grandma? Isn't the sister-in-law in the capital Luoyang, how could she be plundered by the Huns? Ao Lie asked in surprise. The mustache hurriedly replied: "It's not the eldest young grandmother, yes, alas, it's the second young grandmother, your lady who hasn't passed the door yet." Hearing this, Ao Lie suddenly felt a nameless fire rushing into his head, almost breaking through the top of his head. If you cherish each other, the concubine will live up to you. Cai Yan's frowns, smiles, and movements appear extremely clearly in his mind. It wasn't until this moment that Ao Lie knew how important Cai Yan was in his heart, and it wasn't until this moment that he realized that he liked Cai Yan so much.
The skyrocketing anger erupted from Ao Lie's body, Ao Lie drew his sword, and shouted angrily: "King Zuoxian of the Huns, I am inseparable from you!" Lu Bu on the side also understood what happened in the Q&A between Ao Lie and Little Mustache, and naturally became angry in his heart, and shouted: "King Zuo Xian, who is just a Hun, how dare you be so rampant, second brother, let's go to the battlefield together, and we will see how capable this King Zuo Xian is." โ
When the three of them returned to the Taishou Mansion, there was a sound of drums in the house, and Ao Lie, who had been under his father's ears and eyes since he was a child, could tell that it was Liu Yu who beat the drum and gathered the soldiers. Ao Lie turned around and greeted Lu Bu and the mustache, and ran towards the military academy in the mansion.
When he arrived at the military academy, Liu Yu was already standing on the high platform, and said loudly to the 3,000 soldiers gathered under the stage: "The warriors of the Han Dynasty, the Huns have treacherously invaded the border of our Han Dynasty again, and killed the people of our Han Dynasty. โ
The 3,000 sergeants in the audience shouted: "Kill! Kill!! Kill!!! โ
Liu Yu opened his mouth again and said loudly: "Don't hide from the soldiers, this time the Huns led the invasion of the Huns is the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, this person is cruel and unkind, even my daughter-in-law who has not passed the door has been plundered, this expedition, the general swore to cut off the head of the Hun Zuoxian King, the soldiers are willing to fight with me to defend their homeland?" โ
The 3,000 sergeants in the audience shouted again: "Swear to follow Taishou to the death!" Swear to follow Taishou to the death!! โ
Seeing this situation, Ao Lie's chest was full of enthusiasm, and he ran up to the Dianjiang platform in three or five steps, knelt beside Liu Yu, and shouted loudly: "Ao Lie, please be the pioneer!" If you don't win, I'm willing to come and see you! โ
The sergeants in the audience were naturally very familiar with the second son, Ao Lie, and knew that the second son of his family was both civil and military, so they shouted in unison again: "Mighty!" Mighty!! โ
Liu Yu felt the morale of the sergeants in the audience, and looked down at Ao Lie again, to be honest, he was very reluctant to Ao Lie to be a pioneer on the battlefield, after all, father and son were connected by blood, if Ao Lie made a slight mistake, he couldn't afford it. In particular, although this son of mine is brave, he is only ten years old after all! However, when he looked down and saw Ao Lie's firm eyes, he knew that Ao Lie was definitely going to be this pioneer. No matter how strong the eagle is, it will not become an eagle soaring in the sky without going through wind and rain, thinking of this, Liu Yu said loudly: "Ao Lie listens to the order!" This will make you the vanguard of the front, the position of captain, you can choose 500 soldiers in the army at will, and open the way for the army in front! โ
Ao Lie responded loudly: "Ao Lie takes the order!" โ
