In the next three days, Ao Lie was busy. He wanted to ensure Luoyang's defense to a certain level within these three days. Otherwise, if Li Jue and Guo Si or someone else came to the cholera capital again, the majesty of the Han Dynasty would really plummet. Ao Lie is still very optimistic about Liu Xie. Liu Xie is much stronger now than the Emperor Xian of Han recorded in history. Even if he will not grow into a wise king in the future, at least, Liu Xie will not be as stupid as he is. As long as Liu Xie is not stupid, the Han Dynasty will still be saved, and the people of the world will still have hope. Therefore, Ao Lie naturally needs to protect Liu Xie.

When Zhang Ji led his men to Luoyang, Ao Lie took Zhang Ji to meet Liu Xie, saying that Zhang Ji was a rare upright person in the Western Liang army. He was different from other cruel and unkind Western Liang warlords. He also strongly recommended Zhang Ji to guard Chang'an to resist the possible riots of Li Jue and Guo Si. After talking to Zhang Ji for half a day, Liu Xie also felt that Zhang Ji was upright and reliable, so he agreed to Ao Li Lie's recommendation, named Zhang Ji as the general of Anxi, and led his troops to guard Chang'an. Zhang Ji was also grateful for Liu Xie's heavy use, and patted his chest to promise that Li Jue and Guo Si would never take half a step beyond Chang'an. After that, Zhang Ji rested in Luoyang for two days before leading his men to take office.

After Zhang Ji left, Ao Lie visited his uncle Wang Yue again. Ao Lie knew that Wang Yue was an official fan. He had been in Luoyang for decades, just to be able to get a job of a half-time position and to be able to be a wife and son in the future. Ao Lie seized Wang Yue's characteristic and took Liu Xie's imperial edict and directly gave him an official position as the commander of the imperial guards. This official position was not before, but was Liu Xie's newly established official position under Ao Lie's advice, mainly responsible for the emperor's daily safety issues. Wang Yue's swordsmanship was extraordinary and used as a personal bodyguard. It was also considered that he could do his best to make the best of his talents and things. At the same time, all the disciples in Wang Yue's sword hall were beaten up by Ao Lie, and they were given the identity of an imperial guard, led by Wang Yue to jointly protect Liu Xie's personal safety.

Lie also recommended Qu A who saved himself in Luoyang City to Liu Xie, and praised Qu A's loyalty and character. Seeing that Qu A was good at martial arts, Liu Xie also liked him very much, so he immediately granted Qu A the position of deputy commander of the imperial guards. The team with Wang Yue as the main and Qu A as the auxiliary was formed. In addition to Wang Yue's hundreds of disciples, Ao Lie selected more than a hundred elite soldiers from Wu Qiong and Wu Xi's brothers. He put together a number of 500 and formed the team of the imperial guards. This team, known as the Imperial Guards, was directly commanded by Liu Xie, and no other person's orders were followed. Ao Lie made this arrangement. He also deliberately asked Liu Xie to train and try to personally command an army to lay the foundation for the future.

After solving the problem of external troubles and Liu Xie's personal safety, Ao Lie turned his attention to the city defense. After discussion with Liu Xie, the two brothers finally decided that Huangfu Song would serve as the Yin of Henan, responsible for commanding and training the new recruits stationed in Luoyang. These new recruits were newly recruited after the Dong Zhuo Rebellion. The number of people was not too large, only about 3,000, but Ao Lie believed that if they handed over these 3,000 people to Huangfu Song, they would definitely burst out with terrible combat power in time.

In addition, in terms of military affairs, at Ao Lie's suggestion, Liu Xie abolished the Xiyuan Camp Army. These people were all playboys from various aristocratic families. Not only was the terrible combat power low, it would also bring various bad habits to the army. Liu Xie issued an order to establish a new imperial guard with Zhu Yan as the chief general and Wu Qiong and Wu Xi brothers as deputy. Most of the imperial guards were newly recruited, and a small number of them were veterans loyal to the Han Dynasty who survived the Dong Zhuo Rebellion. Leading the new with the old can quickly adapt to the life of the military. The number of imperial guards was temporarily maintained at about 10,000, responsible for dealing with various emergencies and guarding Luoyang's security.

After all the problems in various aspects were solved one by one, Ao Lie breathed a sigh of relief. In short, Liu Xie had more than 13,000 troops directly and indirectly commanded. Although not too many, there were still no problem in defending Luoyang. Besides, famous generals like Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun assisted him, and his father Liu Yu and Zhong Yao and other ministers came out with advice. With the sturdy and majestic Luoyang City, it was basically impossible to forcibly break Luoyang in a short period of time.

After all the questions that could be thought of were arranged, it was already the third night. Ao Lie went straight to the palace with two jars of west wind and strong wine. Before leaving, he wanted to say goodbye to Liu Xie in private, without anyone disturbing him.

When Ao Lie walked to the gate of Liu Xie's bedroom, Wang Yue's figure flashed from somewhere and shouted coldly: "Stop the person coming!" Ao Lie smiled in his heart. Is he still very fast to enter the role? It's really suitable to be a personal bodyguard for Liu Xie. He raised his head and said, "Uncle Master, it's someone."

After seeing clearly that the person coming was Ao Lie, Wang Yue put away his vigilant expression and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Ao Junhou. Just now, the emperor was talking about Junhou. Junhou, hurry up and go in." Although Ao Lie is Wang Yue's junior nephew, Wang Yue is good at everything. There is one thing that is obsessed with official positions and has become obsessed with it. Since Liu Xie was named the commander of the imperial guards, he has never been willing to call Ao Lie again, but changed his words to Ao Lie as Junhou. It can be seen that he is quite clear about the ranks and inferiors in the officialdom. Ao Lie had asked Wang Yue to change his previous title again and again, but Wang Yue insisted on noticing it.

Shaking his head helplessly, Ao Lie completely gave up the idea of ​​letting Wang Yue change his words and walked into the bedroom. All the objects inside and outside the bedroom were replaced because Liu Xie could not tolerate what he had used with Dong Zhuo.

When he walked into the bedroom, Ao Lie saw Liu Xie facing away from him, sitting on a rocking chair, staring at the night sky in a daze. Ao Lie quietly walked to Liu Xie, reached out to slapped Liu Xie's shoulder hard, and said, "What are you thinking? You're so trance." Liu Xie was startled by Ao Lie, and hurriedly looked back, with a rare naughty face: "Brother, do you want to scare me to death? Let's see how I deal with you." As he said that, Liu Xie jumped up from the rocking chair and rushed towards Ao Lie.

Ao Lie laughed, turned his body, avoided Liu Xie's pounce, and said with a smile: "Boy, I teach you all your kung fu. Want to catch me? Dream." Liu Xie raised his mouth and said with a happy smile: "You are better than blue than blue. You are taught this sentence to me, be careful!" Before he finished speaking, Liu Xie jumped to Ao Lie again.

Ao Lie held the wine jar in his hand and didn't put it down. He stuck out his tongue at Liu Xie, and even said in a naughty tone: "Come on, you are here. If you can catch me, I will call you brother." Liu Xie smiled while chasing Ao Lie. One of the brothers hid and the other chased, and the happy laughter came from far away from the bedroom.

Wang Yue hid in a dark corner outside the bedroom, listening to the laughter of Ao Lie and Liu Xie in his ears, and couldn't help but smile happily, whispering to himself: "One is the real dragon emperor today, and the other is the world-famous champion Hou, but after all, they are all just children..."

After laughing and making enough fun, Ao Lie and Liu Xie sat down one after another. Ao Lie opened the two jars of west wind spirit in his hand and handed it to Liu Xie. Liu Xie did not go to pick it up, but stared at Ao Lie in a daze, as if he wanted to see the flowers on Ao Lie's face.

"What's wrong? Is it true that flowers really growing on my face?" Ao Lie said with a chuckling.

Liu Xie shook his head slowly and said with a serious look: "Brother, sometimes I wonder what it would be if I hadn't met you? Should I become a puppet of Dong Zhuo, or had already died? If I hadn't met you, would the great Han Dynasty be ruined in my hands for four hundred years? Will I be a king of a country that has destroyed?"

Ao Lie was stunned. He didn't expect that Liu Xie could think so long at such a long time. Moreover, Liu Xie's ideas were almost the same as recorded in history. If he had not traveled to the end of the Han Dynasty, then Liu Xie would become a puppet and become a king of the destruction of the country as he said.

After sighing, Liu Xie's tone was filled with a bit of aging youth: "Brother, many people told me that they should not trust you too much. Some people say that you have a strong army and will definitely become king if you are full in the future and drive me off the throne."

Ao Lie smiled casually, picked up the wine jar and drank a big sip of wine, and asked back, "Well, will there be that day?"

Liu Xie did not answer Ao Lie's words directly, looked at Ao Lie's eyes firmly, and said softly: "Just just now, you said something inadvertently. I was taught by you, so I can't catch you. Not only martial arts, but all my abilities were taught by you. If there was a day, I would definitely not be your opponent."

Ao Lie laughed and sang loudly while laughing: "There are thousands of poems and thousands of wines. I have been watching the princes and kings!"

Liu Xie followed Ao Lie's chanting and repeated it, savoring the artistic conception of Ao Lie's words. After a long time, Liu Xie suddenly smiled and looked very relaxed: "Brother, I have never called me in front of you, because I always felt that you are like a kind brother, who taught me all my heart and all my skills. You may not know that from the first time I saw you, I felt something in you, that was the warmth of family affection." Liu Xie's words were very straightforward. Since ancient times, the royal family had no affection. No matter how good Liu Hong was to Liu Xie when he was alive, he could not compare to the kind of father-son love that kind of father-son loves his child.

The night was already deep, but the two brothers in the bedroom were not sleepy at all. After the heart-to-heart talk just now, Liu Xie opened his heart to Ao Lie completely, and the relationship between the two brothers became closer. Liu Xie followed Ao Lie's appearance, picked up the wine jar and drank the wine one by one. It took not long, Liu Xie was already drunk, his face flushed, he reached out to grab Ao Lie's arm, and said with a little drunkenness: "Brother, in the future, if I can't revive the Han Dynasty, you will ascend the throne in Youzhou and give you the country of ancestors of all generations, and I am willing to."

Ao Lie was speechless, reached out to touch Liu Xie's head, and said softly: "Silly boy, you are drunk..."
