Ao Lie has been very comfortable recently. Because all the eleven people recommended by the civil and military personnel have taken office, Ao Lie arranged them to work in their respective fields of expertise and manage various affairs in the county. As for major internal affairs, Xun Yu and Tian Chou made preliminary opinions and then reported them to Ao Lie. Ao Lie basically didn't care much about it. He accepted almost all the opinions put forward by Xun Yu and Tian Chou; in terms of military affairs, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci were in charge. Xiahou Lan also joined Ao Lie under the call of Zhao Yun, and Ao Lie Ren

He was appointed as the lieutenant of Zhang Liao, temporarily serving as the deputy general of Zhang Liao, training the 4,000 infantry in the county. At the same time, Ao Lie also taught the eight-duan brocade of self-cultivation to Taishi Ci and Xiahou Lan. Under the guidance of Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, the two made rapid progress, which directly led to their martial arts to the next level. Therefore, Ao Lie's main task every day is to practice martial arts. For Ao Lie, who was a cultivator of ancient martial arts in his previous life, practicing martial arts not only did not have any pressure, but was a pleasure. He also enjoyed immersing in the realm of martial arts and carefully savoring the true meaning of martial arts.

In his spare time, Ao Lie will go to the military camp to inspect it. Nowadays, Ao Lie no longer needs to participate in the actual combat exercises in the army. Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci and Xiahou Lan often grouped together and matched at will, and then led the soldiers under their respective troops to conduct actual combat. This not only effectively improved the combat effectiveness of the army, but also made the various troops familiar with each other and cooperated more closely during the combat process.

It is mentioned that the six thousand-life Wuhuan cavalry, from the silent resistance at the beginning, to the gradual integration, and later the active cooperation, has completely returned to the current situation. They have not regarded themselves as Wuhuan people, but as the Han army. The most advantageous evidence is that these six thousand cavalry can shout out the Han army's iconic slogan without resistance: "Those who violate the strong Han Dynasty in their wise will be punished even if they are far away!"

On the other hand, Wantong Trading Company also opened a relatively large branch in Youbeiping, specializing in doing business with ethnic minorities outside the Great Wall, using specialties such as golden silk leaves and Xifenglie to exchange for war horses, cattle and sheep from the Wuhuan people; for medicinal materials and fur from the Xianbei people, and then processed the exchanged things and sold them to various counties in Jizhou near Youzhou at a high price. This process accumulated a considerable amount of wealth for Ao Lie, allowing Ao Lie to calmly change equipment and reserve military weapons for his army.

In short, everything was developing steadily and efficiently in the direction that Ao Lie imagined. The only thing that made Ao Lie feel a little regretful was that Guo Jia did not come, but wrote a reply letter, politely rejecting Ao Lie's invitation in the name of studying.

Just as Ao Lie was living a comfortable and comfortable life, his master Wang Ao Zu and his uncle Tong Yuan rushed over from Ji County together, breaking Ao Lie's dream. The reason was that learning endlessly. In the words of Wang Ao Zu - learning martial arts is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, so you should not be lazy for a day.

Therefore, under the strict supervision of the two elders, Ao Lie and Zhao Yun began an inhuman life again and received hellish training every day. Perhaps because of Zhang Xiu's departure, the two elders felt that Ao Lie and Zhao Yun alone were not enough to satisfy their desire to teach arts. Therefore, Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci and Xiahou Lan were also pulled over by the two elders and had to destroy them every day before they stopped. Zhang Liao and the other two also tasted the taste that Ao Lie and Zhao Yun had tasted, which was so painful!

However, under the training of the two elders for two hours a day, Zhang Liao and the other two have made great progress. Whether it is their understanding of martial arts or their own cultivation, they are improving little by little every day.

Three years later, Ao Lie was nearly sixteen years old. At this time, Ao Lie had grown to about eight feet. With Ao Lie's handsome face and his long-term high position, those who didn't know him would think that he was a child of a noble family in his twenties at first sight.

During these three years, Wuhuan and Xianbei captured the reputation of Liu Yu and Ao Lie and his son, and they did not dare to step into the Han territory without authorization. However, the Huns launched several small invasions, and were easily killed by Ao Lie. The most heavy losses were Ao Lie at the foot of Bailang Mountain. Ao Lie led the elites of the Blood Killing Camp and the Huben Camp to kill more than 10,000 Xiongnu people in one battle. Since then, the Huns have never dared to invade the border of the Han Dynasty. It was that battle that made the Huns truly realize the martial courage of the little overlord. Even many Huns compared Ao Lie with Huo Qubing, who had once crossed the grasslands and deserts and swept across the eight Xiongnu tribes.

In several battles with the Xiongnu, Ao Lie's Blood Killing Camp and Hu Ben Camp became more elite, and they completed the expansion of their troops one after another. Two hundred elite soldiers were selected from the Wuhuan cavalry and the 4,000 county soldiers, and supplemented them into the Blood Killing Camp and Hu Ben Camp, so that the two elite soldiers reached 1,000. In addition, Ao Lie also recruited soldiers in the county. In addition to the two elite soldiers of Blood Killing and Hu Ben, his cavalry reached 8,000, and the infantry reached 1,000, which made the total number of troops under Ao Lie's command reach 20,000.

On this day, Ao Lie was watching Zhang Liao and his team's battle drill at the military academy. A soldier hurriedly walked into the military academy. After seeing Ao Lie's location, he walked over quickly and knelt down to report: "Report to General, the governor of the state, please take time to return to Ji County in the near future."

Ao Lie turned his head and recognized the sergeant as his father's guard's beard and smiled and said, "Little Beard, are you doing well recently?"

As for Ao Lie's concern for his subordinates, even if the other party is just an ordinary soldier, Ao Lie often asks about his well-being. Xiao Wang had already experienced it, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, the villain is fine."

Nodded, Ao Lie continued to ask, "What's wrong with my father calling me back to Ji County?" The smile on Xiaowang's face became even brighter: "The Palace Master and his wife often say today that it is coming soon for the general's birthday, so they are going to hold a wedding ceremony around the general's birthday, and they specially ordered the villain to ask the general to go back and discuss."

When he heard the four words of the wedding ceremony, Ao Lie's handsome face rose and a blush rose. Cai Yan's charming face naturally thought of Cai Yan's charming face, and an irresistible feeling of longing rose from Ao Lie's heart.

He smiled a little shyly, and Ao Lie said to Xiaomouzi: "I understand. I will go back to pay my father and mother tomorrow. You go to the account room in the mansion to pay two hundred coins, as if it was someone who respects your parents."

The bearded man waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, I must not use it." In this era, the military pay received by the soldiers was only eighty cents a month.

With his hand pressed down on the shoulder of the mustache, Ao Lie said without any doubt: "I know that all the soldiers are very hard-working, and I decided so that you don't have to say anything more."

The mustache twitched his nose and said with a sob: "The general loves soldiers as much as his son, and the villain is very grateful."

"Okay, go and pay money quickly and add some clothes to your parents." Ao Lie smiled kindly. Xiao Wangzi thanked him again, then turned around and left.

Looking up at the sky, Ao Lie murmured to himself: "Time flies so fast. Three years have passed. Yan'er, are you okay? I'll come to marry you when I'm waiting for me."

The next day, Ao Lie rode Zhao Yexue Dragon Horse, with more than a dozen elite blood killing camps, and set off for Ji County early in the morning. By the evening, more than ten people had arrived at Ji County. Thanks to the war horses equipped by the elite blood killing camps, they were all good horses for tribute to Wuhuan. Otherwise, it would be difficult to catch up with Zhao Yexue Dragon Horse. Even so, in order to take care of his subordinates' footsteps, Ao Lie deliberately slowed down the speed of Zhao Yexue Dragon Horse. Otherwise, he would have arrived in Ji County.

When he arrived at the prefecture palace, Ao Lie turned over and dismounted. When the soldiers guarding at the door saw Ao Lie, they hurriedly ran over, helped Ao Lie hold the reins, and said respectfully: "The general is back." Since Ao Lie defeated the Xiongnu and Wuhuan in succession, even a newly recruited recruit, no, even if a civilian was picked out in Youzhou, they knew Ao Lie's reputation. The soldiers in the army even worshiped Ao Lie as gods. Moreover, Ao Lie never put on airs. No matter who he treated, he was kind and gave people a feeling of being friendly and approachable.

He smiled and patted one of the guards on the shoulders, Ao Lie asked, "Is my father in the mansion?" The soldier nodded and replied, "The state patrol patrol military camp has just returned to the mansion, and it should be still in the main hall at this moment."

Ao Lie nodded, encouraged the guards to say "Do it well", and then walked into the mansion.

When he arrived at the hall, he saw Liu Yu sitting on a chair and bent down on his first batch of documents. Ao Lie walked gently towards Liu Yu, then stood five steps away in front of Liu Yu, quietly waiting for his father to approve the documents.

After a while, Liu Yu finished the approval of the documents in his hand, then raised his head and saw Ao Lie standing quietly in front of him waiting for him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Lie'er, when will he be back?"

Ao Lie also replied with a smile: "The child has just come back. When he saw his father reviewing the documents again, he did not dare to disturb his father."

Liu Yu stood up and walked to Ao Lie, and pounded Ao Lie's shoulder hard: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for a few months, and it's much stronger, as if it's a little taller than three or four months ago." After a pause, Liu Yu asked again: "You haven't had time to see your mother yet? It's just that your grandfather is here too today. Let's go to the backyard."

Ao Lie nodded gently. He found that as he grew older, his father gradually became older. He inadvertently saw that his father had a few gray hairs on his temples. In recent years, he often wrote letters to him or sent someone to Youbeiping to ask about his current situation. It can be seen that his father's heart is no longer young, otherwise he would not have been so affectionate. Yes, he has been in this world for almost sixteen years. Can his father not grow old? In addition, his father is diligent in government affairs and hardworking, so he naturally becomes prone to aging. A trace of sadness began to spread in Ao Lie's heart.

Liu Yu didn't know what Ao Lie was thinking, so he grabbed Ao Lie's arm and pulled him to the backyard. Ao Lie followed Liu Yu and looked at his father's back. In a trance, it seemed that time had flowed back to his childhood. He was pulled by his father and played behind him. As long as he was under his father's back, Ao Lie would feel that he was very at ease. To this day, this feeling has not disappeared with the passage of time, but has become more and more intense.

The father and son came to the master bedroom in the backyard and saw Mrs. Ao talking to Mrs. Ao. Mrs. Ao's eyebrows were raised from time to time. Obviously, the father and daughter were saying something very happy.

Liu Yu let go of Ao Lie and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, madam, who do you think is back?"

Mrs. Ao turned his head at the same time. When he saw Ao Lie following Liu Yu, the father and daughter showed a look of joy on their faces. Mrs. Ao was quite calm because of his age, but he just laughed non-stop. Mrs. Ao didn't care about that much. She got up and walked quickly to Ao Lie, holding Ao Lie's hand with her left hand, gently stroked Ao Lie's face with her right hand, and looked full of joy, but her tone choked: "Lie'er, you're back. You haven't been back for three months and seventeen days. Have you had a meal recently and your sleep is fine?"

Ao Lie felt his mother's care, and he had thousands of words in his heart to tell his mother, but when he was at the mouth, he couldn't say anything. Mr. Ao smiled and said, "Okay, Xueer, look at you, Lie'er just came back and was tired all the way. You always ask what you do. Look at me, it's better to prepare meals for Lie'er as soon as possible."

Mrs. Ao then let go of Ao Lie's hand and glared at Liu Yu with a angrily glance and said, "It's not the cruelty of being a father. Lie'er went to the battlefield with him at the age of eight. Three years ago, she was even a pioneer general. As a result, she made great contributions and guarded Youbeiping by the emperor's edict. In recent years, we are a mother and son together. Lie'er is still less than sixteen years old. How can I not worry about this mother?"

Liu Yu pulled his beard innocently and turned to Mr. Ao for help: "My father-in-law, look at who I am in the eyes of your baby daughter. Am I such a cruel person?"

Boss Ao ignored Liu Yu's "sad" face and snorted, "Hmph, I think Xue'er is not bad! How could he let his own son be a pioneer general in every battle?" What Liu Yu feared most in his life was his father-in-law. When Boss Ao said this, he didn't dare to speak again with a bitter face.

Ao Lie really couldn't stand it anymore and quickly changed the topic: "Grandpa, father, mother, I don't know what happened to call Lie'er back this time?"
