Chapter Eleven Autumn Soldiers on the Battlefield
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two years passed. In the past two years, several major events happened around Ao Lie.
First of all, his elder brother Liu He completed his wedding a year ago. Although the wedding was not too grand, famous families in the Eastern Han Dynasty attached great importance to etiquette. Therefore, Liu He's wedding was considered a ritual. This made Ao Lie, who was watching the ceremony, complain loudly in his heart. If the groom was replaced by Ao Lie, he might immediately run away. What made Ao Lie even more helpless was that many famous scholars came to congratulate him, and naturally his future father-in-law, Cai Yong, who was famous all over the world. What made Ao Lie the most trouble was that Cai Yong did not come alone this time, but also brought his only pearl in his hand, Cai Yan, known as a talented woman. That is, Ao Lie's future wife.
In this era, I didn’t value chastity and other things, so there was no custom of the later generations such as not being able to meet before marriage. Liu Yu and Cai Yong not only did not stop Ao Lie and Cai Yan from meeting, but instead tried their best to make the two of them live alone. Try to let the two children know further and deepen their relationship. Fortunately, Cai Yong left with Cai Yan because of something on the second day of the wedding, which made Ao Lie breathe a 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 of charming country. After Cai Yan heard the seven-character quatrain written by Ao Lie to Lu Bu in Shuang'er, in an incense stick, he actually adapted the quatrain into a piano piece, which was so exciting and beautiful. Before leaving, Cai Yan blushed and asked Ao Lie about his seal.
What is the case? This is equivalent to asking whether they are satisfied with the marriage between the two. Ao Lie spent a lot of effort and had no nerve to say anything like it, like it very much or like it very much, so he had to write a song "Meeting and Happy" for Cai Yan. Meeting and Happy: Going to the west building alone, the moon is like a hook, the lonely sycamore courtyard is locked in the autumn, it cannot be cut, and it is still messy, which is a sorrow of separation, and it has a unique taste in his heart. Cai Yan blushed, put away the small order written by Ao Lie carefully, then took out his handkerchief and wrote eight words on it: If you cherish each other, I will not let you down. In this way, Ao Lie and Cai Yan ended in the first meeting in a hurry, but the other party was left in the hearts of both of them. Ao Lie no longer resisted the marriage as before.
Another thing happened shortly after Liu He's wedding. Because the struggle between foreign relatives and eunuchs in the court became increasingly fierce, the foreign relatives headed by General He Jin and the Ten Changshi, headed by Zhang Rang, and other eunuchs recruited their followers in order to fight for power and profit. Later, Emperor Ling Liu Hong discovered that although Liu Hong was foolish, he was not foolish enough to allow the two factions to wantonly divide the power of the royal family. Therefore, Liu Hong also promoted a group of people among the royal family and took up important positions in the capital Luoyang. Ao Lie's elder brother Liu He was summoned as a servant and took office in Luoyang.
Apart from the above things, there is nothing else that can touch Ao Lie. Over the past two years, Ao Lie has been studying martial arts with Lu Bu and learning from each other for most of his time. 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 even greater. Moreover, based on his previous life's experience, he combined Tai Chi spear technique with the Eighteen Slash of the Flip Hands, and created Tai Chi spear technique, which has its own school. Because of Lu Bu's practice of the Nine Changes of the Heavenly Dragon Art, his martial arts are also a hundred-foot pole head. The two's exchanged from the beginning of the battle of the infantry, to cavalry battles, hidden weapons, bows and arrows, fists and feet, strength competitions, etc. Apart from fighting for the wine, the two almost learned everything they could compete.
At this moment, the sound of metal and iron clashing in Zhengyang Valley sounded like in the past. It turned out that the brothers Lu Bu and Ao Lie were having a cavalry battle.
Lu Bu urged the horse to run wildly, and the Fang Tianhua Ji in his hand suddenly stabbed out and rushed to Ao Lie's left shoulder. Ao Lie shook the reins, and the Zhaoye Xue dragon horse sitting down had four hooves and jumped half a step to the side, avoiding Lu Bu's attack. Then, Ao Lie waved the spear in his hand, and at one circle, 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 Hua Ji turned straight and horizontal halberd into a straight piercing and horizontal wheel, slashing towards Ao Lie's waist. At the same time, the tail of the halberd raised up, stretched out his left hand and clenched into a fist. At the tail of the halberd, he punched the halberd with force. The huge force caused the tail of the halberd to shake. While the high-speed shock, it actually transformed into three halberd tails and headed towards the three spear flowers that Ao Lie stabbed. This move was exactly the killer move that Lu Bu learned from the Nine Changes of the Heavenly Dragon Skill. Over the past two years, Ao Lie has merged Tai Chi spear technique and the Eighteen Flip Hand into a new Tai Chi Eighteen Slash. Lu Bu naturally was not idle either. Although he had been practicing the Nine Changes of the Heavenly Dragon Skill for a short time and had not yet understood it very thoroughly, he also combined the things he had learned into his own halberd technique. Although he had not yet achieved a self-created gun technique like Ao Lie, it also made the already powerful halberd technique with more unpredictable changes.
Ao Lie failed to hit the attack and immediately activated Zhao Yexue Dragon Horse to rush towards Lu Bu at a faster speed. At the same time, his spear technique changed. He held the tip of the spear and the handle of the tail of the spear, and swung an arc to smash it towards Lu Bu. This attack merged with the impact of Zhao Yexue Dragon Horse and Ao Lie's own huge power. Because the spear was under Ao Lie's huge force, the gun rod was bent into a bow shape. Seeing Ao Lie using this move, Lu Bu did not dare to be careless. Fang Tian Hua Ji stopped and accumulated force, and then stabbed out again, pointing directly to the center of the gun rod that had become a bow in Ao Lie's hand.
Seeing Lu Bu's move, Ao Lie's mouth smiled. Seeing that the tip of the halberd was about to stab the gun, Ao Lie's left hand, holding the handle at the tip of the gun, suddenly released the gun rod bent into a bow, and the tip of the gun was slashed at Lu Bu with huge inertia.
Lu Bu was caught off guard by Ao Lie's unexpected move and hurriedly blocked it with a halberd. Each shot and halberd collided with his master's power that was almost a giant beast.
Ding—Ding—Ding—Ding——The lingering sounds continued, showing how violent this collision was. The two horses passed by each other, and each ran forward more than ten steps away. At the same time, they turned their heads around, causing Lu Bu and Ao Lie to fight against each other. However, the two looked at each other and were not launching an attack. There was only one reason, the spear in Ao Lie's hand had broken into two pieces. You must know that Lu Bu's Fangtian Painting Ridge was a magic weapon, while the spear in Ao Lie's hand was just a weapon made of ordinary iron. In the past two years, this scene has happened many times. The weapons destroyed by Fang Tian Painting Ridge can be said to be countless. If Shuang'er had not earned money from selling gold silk leaves, Ao Lie would not be able to afford a short sword.
"My second brother has made great progress. It's only two years in just two years and I can fight with me for fifty rounds." Lu Bu exclaimed sincerely.
Ao Lie threw away half of the gun rod in his hand, looked at the Fang Tian Huaji in Lu Bu's hand enviously, and said, "One day, I will also make a magic weapon, so as not to be beaten by my elder brother." Suddenly, a light and shadow flashed in my mind. Ao Lie remembered the formation-breaking overlord gun in the secret treasure of Emperor Guangwu. It was the weapon of Xiang Yu, the King of Chu. If it could be taken out, and the eighteen slashes passed down by Xiang Yu, uh, after Ao Lie's combination, it should be called the eighteen slashes of Tai Chi. If it was combined with the eighteen slashes of Tai Chi, wouldn't it be like a tiger's wings? However, the treasure exploration matters are not urgent. Now I have no soldiers or generals under my command. Even if I take out the secret treasure of Guangwu, it will not last long, and I might be jealous of others. I might even be jealous of others. Let's talk about it after I formed a reliable team.
At this time, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded from outside the valley. The two brothers in the valley turned to look at the entrance of the valley. They saw a soldier wearing county soldiers and armor galloping towards the horse. When he entered the valley and saw Ao Lie, he slapped his horse and ran to Ao Lie, then turned over and got off the horse, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists, and said to Ao Lie: "Report to the second son, the prefect, the second son is urgently called the second son to return home." Ao Lie recognized the soldier's name as Xiao Huzi, and was his father
A garrison under Liu Yu was close to Liu Yu. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the military system of the pre-Qin period was adopted, with five people and one garrison leader; ten people and one garrison leader; fifty people and one garrison leader; one garrison leader of the army; five hundred people and one garrison leader of the army; one garrison leader of the army; one thousand people and one garrison leader of the army; five thousand people and one garrison leader of the army; five thousand people and one battalion led by the general. The little beard who came to report the news was a garrison leader, and he had 100 soldiers under his command.
Ao Lie frowned and asked, "What happened when my father said?" Xiao Wangzi replied, "Early this morning, the border sent an urgent report, and the Huns entered the country to plunder again. The master was furious about this matter." Ao Lie's face darkened, and his voice was filled with a solemn meaning: "The Huns have repeatedly invaded the territory. If they do not give a painful attack this time, they will probably go back to heaven." Xiao Wangzi glanced at Ao Lie, and wanted to stop. Ao Lie looked at Xiao Wangzi's expression and asked, "What else is there?" Xiao Wangzi sighed and said, "The Prefect is furious not only for the invasion of the Huns. I heard that the young grandmother was plundered by the leader of the Huns, and the Prefect is furious for this matter."
"Grandma? Isn't my sister-in-law in Luoyang, why was she plundered by the Huns?" Ao Lie questioned and answered in surprise. The bearded man hurriedly replied: "It's not the eldest young lady, yes, it's the second young lady, your wife who has not yet passed." Hearing this, Ao Lie suddenly felt a nameless fire rushing to his forehead, almost breaking his head. If you cherish each other, I will not let you down. Cai Yan's every frown, smile, and move appeared in his mind very clearly. It was not until this moment that Ao Lie realized how important Cai Yan is in his heart, and it was not until this moment that he realized that he liked Cai Yan so much.
The anger soared into the sky gushed out from Ao Lie. Ao Lie pulled out his sword and shouted angrily: "Zuxian King Zuo, I am incompatible with you!" Lu Bu, who was beside him, also understood the story of the matter in the question and answer between Ao Lie and Xiao Wangzi. Naturally, he was angry and shouted: "How dare the Zuo Xian King of Xiongnu be so arrogant? Second brother, let's go to the battlefield together to meet how capable this Zuo Xian King is."
When the three men and three horsemen returned to the prefect's mansion, there was a thud of drums in the mansion. Ao Lie, who had been influenced by his father since childhood, realized that Liu Yu had beaten a drum and summoned the soldiers to meet. Ao Lie turned around and greeted Lu Bu and Xiaowang, and rode his horse to the military academy field in the mansion.
When they arrived at the military academy, Liu Yu had already stood on the platform and shouted to the three thousand soldiers gathered below the stage: "The warriors of the Han Dynasty, the Huns were traitorous and attacked the border of our Han Dynasty again, harming our Han people, soldiers, what do you think we should do?"
The three thousand soldiers in the audience shouted loudly: "Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"
Liu Yu spoke loudly again: "To be honest with the soldiers, this time the Xiongnu invaded was the Zuo Xianwang of the Xiongnu. This man was cruel and unkind. Even my daughter-in-law who had not passed the family was plundered. This time, I will swear to cut off the head of Zuo Xianwang of the Xiongnu. Can the soldiers be willing to fight with me to defend their home?"
The three thousand soldiers in the audience shouted again: "See the prefect to the death! Follow the prefect to the death!!"
Seeing this situation, Ao Lie's heart was filled with blood. He rushed to the stage in three or five steps, knelt beside Liu Yu, and shouted loudly: "Ao Lie, please be the pioneer! If you are not victorious, I would like to come and see you!"
The soldiers in the audience were naturally very familiar with the second son Ao Lie. They knew that the second son of his family was both civil and military, so they shouted in unison again: "Magnificent! Magnificent!!"
Liu Yu felt the morale of the soldiers below, and looked down at Ao Lie. To be honest, he was very reluctant to act as a vanguard on the battlefield. After all, the father and son are connected, and if Ao Lie makes any mistakes, he can't bear it. Especially, although his son is extremely brave, he is only ten years old after all! However, when he lowered his head and saw Ao Lie's firm eyes, he knew that Ao Lie must be this vanguard. Well, no matter how strong a young eagle is, it cannot become an eagle soaring in the sky without going through the wind and rain. Thinking of this, Liu Yu said loudly: "Ao Lie obeys the order! I will grant you the position of vanguard in the front and lead the captain. You can choose 500 soldiers from the army at will to open the way for the army!"
Ao Lie responded loudly: "Ao Lie receives the order!"
