He personally cooked a large table of food. Ao Lie stood in front of the table with a smile and greeted others to take their seats. When Ao Lie was cooking, Cai Yan, with Ao Lie's permission, sent someone to invite two old men, Wang Ao Laozu and Tong Yuan. So, today's meal was called a family dinner, and all of them were from the same school.

Wang Ao and Tong Yuan sat in the two positions at the top with a smile, followed by Ao Lie and his wife, Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun sat on both sides, and Sun Ce sat at the bottom.

"Come on, come on, try some of your skills. Master, uncle, you two, please use your chopsticks first." Ao Lie enthusiastically recommended the dishes he made.

Wang Ao and Tong Yuan picked up chopsticks, picked up a bite of the dishes and put them in their mouths. Wang Ao liked to eat light food, so he picked up a bite of green bamboo shoots. Tong Yuan had a heavy taste, so he picked up a piece of spicy chicken with bright color at the first chopstick. After chewing it for a while, Wang Ao took the first to praise: "It's not bad, it's very refreshing." Tong Yuan drank a bite of spicy chicken, and his face was slightly sweaty. After picking up the wine glass and filling it with a sip of Xifeng Liquor, he said: "Crispy and refreshing, crispy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The most rare thing is that the spicy flavor is just right, neither too much nor too much, which makes people have a scent of lips and teeth."

Seeing the two old people complimented, the rest picked up chopsticks, picked up chopsticks to the dishes they liked, and put them in their mouths. After tasting the dishes made by Ao Lie, several people shouted. Even Sun Ce, who had never paid much attention to food, had his eyes lit up and couldn't help but say, "Master, your skills are really not a craft. For the first time, I think the taste of the meal can be comparable to fine wine." During the days I was with Ao Lie, Sun Ce also learned some fresh words, such as cuisine.

Ao Lie smiled and stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a dish for Cai Yan, and said to Sun Ce: "I think you have nothing but drinking besides practicing martial arts. If you have time to order more books in the future, it will be no harm." Because it was a family dinner, Cai Yan was also able to have dinner with everyone.

Sun Ce kept picking up the dishes in front of him and putting them into his mouth. He held a glass in his left hand and poured a mouthful of strong wine into his mouth from time to time. He said vaguely: "Well, it's delicious. Ah, I've written it down, I'll just read more books in the future."

Seeing Sun Ce's voracious look, the others smiled heartily. While talking softly, they happily enjoyed the delicious food made by Ao Lie. Except for Cai Yan, everyone else was all martial artists, and because it was a family banquet, the rules such as not talking about food and sleeping have long been thrown away.

The lunch ended in a pleasant atmosphere. The table of dishes made by Ao Lie was eaten completely by everyone, which made the maids who cleaned up the dishes much easier.

After drinking and having enough food, everyone sat in the main hall to have tea and chat. Zhang Xiu said, "Senior Brother Mo Han, I came here this time because I planned to serve under your command, and I will not return to the north in the future."

Ao Lie asked strangely: "Youwei can come back, of course you welcome me. But it's a good idea. Why don't you stay under your uncle's tent and obey your orders, but instead return to Youzhou?"

Zhang Xiu sighed and shook his head and said, "Senior Brother doesn't know that a certain uncle is a general under Dong Zhuo's tent. Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind. Recently, he learned that the ten regular attendants in the court and the general He Jin were fighting endlessly. He intends to lead troops to Beijing to help one of them fight for power. He said it was helping, but in fact it was just to seek personal gain for himself and intend to form a faction? If Dong Zhuo enters the capital, it will cause trouble. Is it really unbearable, so I came to join my senior brother. More than a thousand soldiers under a certain army also came with him and were camping outside the city."

After listening to Zhang Xiu's statement, Ao Lie's heart suddenly had waves! Dong Zhuo, he really planned to enter Luoyang! If Zhang Xiu had not come to tell him, he would not have known that Dong Zhuo was already preparing to enter Beijing. It seems that his intelligence system is still incomplete. Just relying on elite blood killing camps to ride horses to explore the whistle, he could only find out the news within a radius of hundreds of miles. If he wanted to clearly grasp the direction of the general trend of the world, he had to establish a special team dedicated to spying on news from various places as soon as possible.

After sighing, Ao Lie asked again: "Youwei led his troops to come, but what should I do if my uncle?" Ao Lie guessed that Zhang Ji must not have come with him, otherwise, as Zhang Ji, he would definitely go to the city with Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu said with some distress: "Although Dong Zhuo is cruel, he has the kindness of knowing his uncle, so his uncle insists on coming."

Tong Yuan persuaded, "Forget it, this matter is barely possible. There must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain. I'm going to think of a way to do things in the future. You can't let your uncle stay with Dong Zhuo alone."

Ao Lie and Zhang Xiu both nodded, and now they can only do this. When they find a way to take Zhang Ji over in the future. After a while of silence, Ao Lie turned to look at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, you and Youwei go out of the city to bring your brothers into the city."

Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu agreed at the same time, turned around and left.

After the two left, Ao Lie also stood up and said to Wang Ao and Tong Yuan: "Master, uncle, I have some things to deal with. I am afraid I have no free time in recent days. I will give Bo Fu some advice on practicing martial arts, and I will also bother you two elders."

Wang Ao nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, go and do your business." Wang Ao loved Ao Lie from the bottom of his heart. Treating Ao Lie is like treating his own descendants. Except for the extremely strict requirements for Ao Lie during his cultivation, other things can be said to be met with all their requests, so Wang Ao agreed immediately.

Seeing Wang Ao's promise, Ao Lieu encouraged Sun Ce a few words, asking Sun Ce to humbly follow the two masters to practice. Sun Ce naturally agreed.

After explaining Sun Ce's affairs, Ao Lie gave Cai Yan an apologetic look, meaning that he had to be busy again and could not be with Cai Yan. Cai Yan returned with a gentle smile to express his understanding. After that, Ao Lie quickly walked out of the mansion and came to the meeting hall of the government office, and found Xun Yu and Jia Xu who were working.

Seeing Ao Lie walking in in a hurry, the two of them threw away the brushes in their hands and stood up to salute Ao Lie. Ao Lie didn't care about any etiquette at this moment, and walked to the table a few steps and said in a narrow voice: "I want to form a scout team, not a whistle, but a full-time scout who can spy on all the secrets in the world."

Xun Yu and Jia Xu were stunned by Ao Lie's words. It was not easy to spy on all the secrets in the world? How could the lord, who has always been calm and generous, be so abnormal today? A confused expression rose on the faces of both of them at the same time.

Ao Lie had no time to deal with their doubts and said directly: "Dong Zhuo is going to Beijing. But we don't know any news! If you fall behind, you will be beaten. From now on, I hope that our army's intelligence can be delivered to someone as soon as possible. Therefore, I want to form a full-time scout."

Xun Yu may not know so much about Dong Zhuo, but Jia Xu is very clear. Jia Xu is also from Xiliang and naturally has a deep understanding of Dong Zhuo, who is of the same origin. When he heard that Dong Zhuo was about to enter Beijing, Jia Xu's face immediately became ugly: "Is this... true? If Dong Zhuo really enters Beijing, chaos will come!" Jia Xu is not Ao Lie or a time traveler, so he naturally does not know what will happen in history, but Jia Xu has wise thinking and keen insight. He cleverly feels that the moment when Dong Zhuo enters Beijing is a day of chaos!

After a while of silence, Xun Yu turned around and walked to a bookcase, took out a thin volume of silk book from it, handed it to Ao Lie, and said, "Lord, in the past six months since our army trained new recruits and rectified the military, Yu sent someone to collect some information, all of which were included in this silk book. Please check it out."

Ao Lie glanced at Xun Yu, reached out to take the silk book, but asked, "Since Wen Ruo has collected these news, why don't you tell me?"

Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "My lord is working hard for military affairs every day. Yu really can't bear to let him bear other things." Jia Xu interrupted, "My lord, now our army is in charge of this huge Youzhou, but there are so few strategists and civil servants under the lord's command. Many things are handled by Wen Ruo alone day and night. Even Xu is so tired that he can't sleep well every day."

After hearing what Jia Xu said, Ao Lie knew how much workload Xun Yu was. Whether it was the Han Dynasty or later generations, every general and marshal who held heavy troops had a think tank team behind him to help him. On the other hand, because of his rapid rise, his subordinates were extremely short of personnel, and the military generals were better. Although the number was not too large, every military general could stand alone, and there was no problem for the time being; but the civil servants were not good. There were only a few people around him who could be reused, Deng Zhi, Dong He, Li Yan and others were still working as prefect. In addition to Xun Yu and Jia Xu in front of him, only Lu Su and Gu Yong and other six or seven people could be reused. No wonder Jia Xu, who has always been good at protecting himself, would reveal his hard work.

With a slightly awkward smile on his face, Ao Lie said, "This is a bit difficult for you. There is no way to do it now. When you have enough staff in the future, you will naturally not be able to work so hard. However, it is urgent to form a scout. I hope you will work harder." As he said that, Ao Lie opened the silk book handed over by Xun Yu and looked at it.

I didn't know if I didn't look at it, and I was shocked when I saw it. Many things were beyond Ao Lie's expectations. There were several things in the silk book recorded by Xun Yu that attracted Ao Lie's attention. First, the three brothers Liu Bei left Gongsun Zan, and their whereabouts were unknown. Ao Lie had known this for a long time, but there was still no news about the three of them today, which surprised Ao Lie. According to the historical trajectory, the next stop of these three brothers should be Xuzhou, but that happened after the subordinate of Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, privately killed Cao Song, Cao Cao's father. Cao Cao has not started yet, so it is impossible to conclude that Liu Bei must have gone to Xuzhou.

The second thing is that the new Nanyang prefect has taken office. It is Yuan Shu, who is quite disliked with Ao Lie. I remembered that when he left Nanyang, he sealed all the money and grain in the treasury. Now he is all worthy of Yuan Shu, a prodigal son, which makes Ao Lie regretted it.

The third thing that attracted Ao Lie's attention was that Lu Bu served as a subordinate of Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, and was in charge of all the cavalry in Bingzhou. Seeing this news, Ao Lie was stunned to remember that when he said goodbye to Lu Bu, Lu Bu did say that he wanted to go to Ding Yuan because Ding Yuan guarded the border and fought with the Huns for a long time. Lu Bu appreciated Ding Yuan's style of being a general and intended to commit suicide under Ding Yuan's tent to make achievements. Later, he fell in love with Ding Yuan like a father and son, but he did not worship Ding Yuan as his adoptive father as the Romance of the Romance.

Not long after, Dong Zhuo bribed Lu Bu with a red rabbit horse, and asked Lu Bu to assassinate Ding Yuan, who treated him as a son, and instead surrendered to Dong Zhuo's tent, and recognized Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father. It was precisely because of this that Lu Bu was called a slave of the three surnames. But Ao Lie knew in his heart that his elder brother Lu Bu was so ambitious that he was really bribed by a red rabbit horse? When Ao Lie gave away the king of the Western Regions, Zhao Yexue, the dragon horse, but Lu Bu refused to accept it. How could he turn against the Red Rabbit Horse and Ding Yuan? There must be a secret that was not recorded in history books.

Another thing is that the Yuan family where Yuan Shao is located was in a relationship with the general He Jin, under the advice of the contemporary head of the family Yuan Wei, and intends to kill the Ten Changshis and then control the government. Unexpectedly, the Ten Changshis were forced to take action first, and found a reason to commit suicide to frame Yuan Wei, and put Yuan Wei in the Tianzhu. Soon after, Yuan Wei was poisoned and killed in the Tianzhu. Yuan Shao fled from Luoyang alone, and his whereabouts were unknown. This was not much different from the historical records, but Yuan Shao left Luoyang a little earlier. Ao Lie could probably guess where Yuan Shao was going, and he must have returned to the old land of Jizhou and recruited people to make a comeback.

Apart from the above things, there are no other important things. It is really difficult for Xun Yu to take time to record these useful information in his busy schedule. Although ordinary people can't see any abnormalities in this information, Ao Lie understands very well. These things are indeed not worth mentioning alone, but together, they show signs of chaos coming. If it weren't for the knowledge of later generations, Ao Lie wouldn't have seen any clues in these things.
