In the third year of Jianning, Liu Hong first ascended to the great treasure, and the sea was determined, and Liangzhou was engaged in Mengtuo to attack Shule with more than 30,000 people such as Dunhuang 500 imperial envoys and chariots.

At that time, Liu Hong still had great ambitions, and ordered him to be a master craftsman to cast four swords with him, and his name was Zhongxing.

Fourteen years later, in the first year of Zhongping, the four swords were given two by Liu Hong in this year, symbolizing his favor.

At this time, the Zhongxing Sword has lost the meaning of the year, and the two people who gave it are not people who can revive the Han family for him. It can only be said that it is ...... A more satisfying playmate.

Having lived in this era for many years, Ma Yue deeply understood that the decline of the Eastern Han Empire was not due to the decline of national strength, nor the emptiness of the treasury, nor the difficulty of finding the hearts of the people, nor the sudden outbreak of war, but because the royal family was immoral.

The biggest advantage of the feudal era is the heart of one person and the heart of tens of millions of people. Liu Hong's edict, all states in the world quickly mobilized nearly 300,000 elite soldiers and strong generals to go to the battlefield, no need for Zhang Jiao's sixteen years of painstaking management, no need for the afterglow of the family for several lifetimes, just a fluttering word, all the people in the world who dare to fight can die for him.

The decline of the Eastern Han Empire began when Liu Hong lost his ambition.

In the days at home, Ma Yue frequently wiped this Zhongxing sword that was six years younger than himself, but every time he looked at this incomparably sharp sword with a solemn expression, he always felt that he was remembering Liu Hong, who ordered the creation of this group of Han swords, what did His Majesty look like at that time?

This feeling was extremely ironic, and on the second day after returning home, Ma Yue gave this Han sword to Yang Aruo.

To tell the truth, after living for 20 years, going to prison and killing people, beating Xianbei and begging for yellow scarves, and marrying an official and soldier, he has completely integrated into this era, and sometimes he feels that his previous life is just a dream.

Wear Hanfu, speak Chinese, and be a Han Chinese. He has a heart for the big man.

But what is the use of his heart for the Han Dynasty?

Before the New Year, Shang Shutai prepared a reward for Guan Yu and others, Yang Aruo's credit is the greatest, after the New Year, he will be appointed as the lieutenant of Longguan, guarding the pass from Sizhou to Liangzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of the right Fufeng, and is thousands of miles away from Luoyang.

Guan Yu was selected into the Dongguan School according to Liang Hu's wishes, this position is not high, it is not a military position, and it is not in charge of military power, but it is just a group of books in the Dongguan Expo and corrects the errors. is very popular with Ma Yue, Guan Yu likes to read, and this position is just right for Guan Yu to study.

Yan Xing took the battle flag of the Yellow Turban, which was regarded as a meritorious achievement, Liang Hu Baosheng was appointed as the captain of Changshui and the army Sima, and the new captain of Changshui was named Liu Zhen, who was born in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Yan Xing was sent to serve under him, and was mainly responsible for recruiting new troops after the New Year.

Xu Huang's arm was picked up by Ma Yue is not bad, and the Hongdumen doctor who invited him said that the bones are growing well, and they will be able to recover in two months, which is a gratifying and congratulatory thing. Liang Hu is leaving, Ma Yue must escort Liang Hu over, when the time comes, An Mu and his twenty brothers from Lijing will stay there, and then Ma Yue plans to send Cai Yan to Wu County to meet Cai Yong, and the house will be empty for a long time.

Cheng Li did Youzhou engagement, Ma Yue couldn't accompany Liang Hu to Youzhou, there were henchmen to follow, Cheng was resourceful and decisive, and having him to assist Liang Hu was a complete strategy in Ma Yue's opinion. Also going to Youzhou was Cheng Li's son, Cheng Wu.

The brothers who fought with him, no matter how big or small, had a background, and Ma Yue's heart was like a stone.

Subsequently, he quickly sent his entourage to inquire about the battle situation in Liangzhou, and after inquiring about Ma Yue, he learned that his eldest brother not only rebelled against the imperial court, but also Ma Teng, Ma Wan, Cheng Yin, and Cheng Yi were the backbone of helping the Liangzhou government resist the rebels.

At this moment, Ma Yue also let go of the affairs of Liangzhou, so that he could rest and have fun wholeheartedly for a while.

At the end of the year, everyone was busy, buying clothes and food needed in the New Year's house, chopping wood and digging wells, but Ma Yue was really idle, and every day was to practice martial arts in the morning, play the qin in the morning, walk the horse in the afternoon, and read history in the evening.

In this, accompanying Cai Yan accounts for a large proportion.

After getting along for a period of time, Ma Yue and Cai Yan know each other a lot, Cai Yan has an icy and jade temperament, and Ma Yue feels powerful and wild, in fact, neither of them is the kind of difficult person to get along with.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, it snowed heavily in the Central Plains.

The sound of the piano in the Liang Mansion for a while surrounds the beam, which leads people to pause, and the noise curls for a while, which makes people beat their chests.

Under the pavilion in the atrium of the mansion, the charcoal fire in the small furnace is booming, the warmth is smoking, and the furnace is warm with Liangzhou spirits, and the aroma is intoxicating. Ma Yue sat cross-legged against the pillar and watched Cai Yan play the guqin.

Ma Yue learned Feibaiti calligraphy in Cai Yong, and Cai Yong's protégé, Cai Yan likes to stroke the qin, Ma Yue was a listener in his spare time, and after listening to it for a few days, he moved his mind to learn to play, but he played the Qiang flute well, and the guqin's understanding was reluctant, and the sound of the qin flowed gracefully in Cai Yan's hands, but in his hands it was like a roaring monster, which was annoying.

It is rare that Cai Yan is a good woman with a good temper and patience, and she gently demonstrated it in front of him over and over again, and Cai Yong's "Secluded Home" was played several times for him.

After finishing the song, Cai Yan got up and sat aside, looked at Ma Yue with gentle eyes, and did not speak.

Ma Yue said with a bitter face: "I'm clumsy and stupid, and all I play is noisy sounds......"

"It doesn't matter, how can there be something that can be learned, the slave family once saw Ma Jun throw a two-foot iron spear onto a rattan card more than ten steps away, is that Ma Jun born with it?"

"Hey, of course not, I've been throwing spears every day since I was twelve." Ma Yue scratched his head and asked embarrassedly, "Senior sister...... How long did you learn this piece when Mr. taught you? ”

"Father never taught." Cai Yan seemed to think of something interesting, lowered his head and smiled softly, pursed his lips and said softly: "Listen to it once, it will be." ”

Although Ma Yue's name is Senior Sister Cai Yan, he is actually three years older than Cai Yan at the age of twenty.

"Senior sister is clever, it seems that when I go to Wu County, I am going to ask Mr. Cai for guilt, and Mr. Shushi Qin has actually accepted me, a disciple who can only write, alas."

"Poof." Cai Yan grinned, the two dimples were very obvious, and said: "It turns out that General Ma, who is a powerful yellow scarf, also has times when he admits defeat. ”

"Alas...... I'm not the horse general of the Megatron Yellow Turban. Ma Yue sighed, and the word yellow turban pulled his mind into the untouchable sea of blood, "I'm just a lonely ghost wandering in Liangzhou." ”

His original intention was that he was just a little person who was lucky enough to pick up a bad life on the Yellow Turban battlefield, but Cai Yan thought of him being expelled from his family tree in Liangzhou, a lonely ghost.

At this moment, Heifu walked to the outside of the pavilion under the heavy snow, bowed down and said: "General, the entourage of the Great Honglu Cao Song's Mansion is visiting, and the prince of the Cao family is returning to Beijing, and the Cao family is hunting on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and you are invited to go along." ”

"Cao Cao?"

In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although they joined forces, they didn't even greet one because they were in the Changshui camp, not to mention socializing, and at this time they actually invited themselves to shoot and hunt, it seems that the brother of the Cao family has not forgotten his little brother!
