This day is the first ten days of the new year, and the time timing of the ace strategist possession system is calculated according to the solar calendar, while the Han Dynasty only has a lunar calendar... On January 13, 189, there were ten days to go before the Chinese New Year's Eve...

In the past year, the original residents of Nanyang have been lucky, they have experienced the dark oppression during the reign of Zhang Zhi, and they have also seen the hope brought to them after the arrival of Yuan Shu, at least the new Taishou Lord is politically clear, so that they have a place to sue for grievances, and let them keep their own land and property;

In the past year, the scholar family in Nanyang was happy, and when Zhang Zhi was in power, they made a lot of money, and everyone made a lot of money, and those who saw it had a share! With the arrival of Yuan Shu, many of them were slashed and killed, but things always took a turn for the better;

Whether it is the open land exchange for official positions, or the recent purchase of their grain stock by the government, as the new year is approaching, they see that they are fantasizing about whether they can obtain fame and fortune in addition to wealth in the future, and achieve the realm of fame and fortune;

Li also met their request, and decided to put a stone tablet on these potential moths in front of Nanyang Chengguan, commending them for "knowing the righteousness and acting bravely..." A series of achievements, maybe there is another meaning!

In the past year, the refugees who have fled to Nanyang County are excited, they are tired of the wandering life, but they have to beg for a living in this environment, struggling like donkeys falling into a well, and can only wait for the day when they can go up to the well with a strong will to survive;

Look at the grain that was strictly guarded by the officers and soldiers, look at the golden corn, sticky rice... Infinite hope was breeding in their minds, Lord Yuan Shu, the Taishou of Nanyang County, did not lie to them, Mao Jie and Mao Xiaoxian did not lie to them, they seemed to be able to live the best Chinese New Year's Eve in several years at the time of the upcoming New Year;

There are different people living under the same moonlight, the same people, but with different emotions, homeless people, commoners, merchants, officials, scholars... are very happy, but Li Kai is infinitely melancholy and indescribable feeling in his heart at the end of this year;

Under the bright moonlight, Li Kai shivered in the cold winter season, there was a faint sorrow called longing, and there was a kind of melancholy called homesickness... If the road is far away, it's just a matter of the road, it's not just a matter of the road, Li is not a heartless person, he has his own thoughts, he is a mortal;

"Little sir! Why don't you fall asleep when it's already late at night? The sudden voice behind him, Li Kai trembled, and secretly wiped the faint tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, Li Kai forced a smile: "Brother Mao!" Why don't you sleep so late? ”

Mao Jue smiled and shook his head: "Burdened, I always remind myself that I can't relax, and I can't sleep when I'm nervous... Besides, the end of the year is coming, and I also think of my parents at home, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany them this year! ”

"Both parents... Brother Mao is so blessed! I don't know if I have a wife and children? Li Kai was a little envious and a little red-eyed, especially at this time, he seemed to find that there seemed to be very few people he could care about;

"Hehe···", mentioning this Mao Jue's face flashed with a faint color of happiness, I think it is also family happiness, harmony and happiness, right? "My wife followed me ten years ago, and my son is six years old, and he will be seven years old during the Chinese New Year... Little sir, is it true that a character like you... ”

"Born in poverty, alone, and without any concerns, it seems that all I have left now is this body, right?" With a self-deprecating smile, Li Kai turned around and waved his hand: "Rest early!" Don't get tired! I'll leave for Xiangyang tomorrow! I'm going to ask you for this matter! ”

Mao Jue suddenly remembered that Shi A had told him that Mr. Xiao was single, and he should never mention his family or anything like that, and opened his mouth Mao Jue wanted to explain or apologize, but unfortunately Li Kai had already left and disappeared into the night;

"Command...", the new countryside built around Fuyang County, all of which are adobe houses advocated by Li and Datong shops crowded together, Li Kai returned to the double room specially arranged by Mao Jue for himself and heard sobbing;

He didn't cry... So the person who cried must be Ma Chao, and it is difficult for this child, after this New Year, he is only fourteen years old, uprooted from home, and goes out, just to be able to let his father look up to himself...

Slowly walking to Ma Chao's side, Li gently patted him on the shoulder: "Cry!" After crying happily, tell me if you want to go home, and if so, go back and see! It's been months, and your mother must have missed you too! ”

It's okay not to say it, but after saying it, the bear child threw himself into his arms, howling and crying, venting his grievances, and after a while, his clothes were wet, and he said while crying: "I... I don't want to go home, I won't go back..."

"Good, good! If you don't go back, you won't go! O future general! Can you stop crying? Li Kai smiled and patted the bear child's back... In this special saying, it is really a person who has a personal sorrow, an individual who has a personal melancholy, and everyone is not immune;

At the beginning of the morning, the curling smoke shrouded the rising red, the beautiful and desolate two scenery continued to meet and reflect each other, beautiful, Li Kai packed the things he needed to bring, in fact, there was nothing, just a bear child Ma Chao! A coachman!

"Little sir, isn't it too dangerous for you to take Ma Chao out alone? Why don't I take a thousand cavalry with you?" Ji Ling and others also came to see them off and made suggestions, the bandits in Nanyang are still serious, and there has been no large-scale banditry, so it is indeed a little rash to travel alone;

"Yes! What if... I'm going to die! Liang Gang also persuaded on the side, helpless, Li Kai was extremely firm and did not waver at all: "Take the army?" If you do that, you'll be wrong."

However, Mao Jue agreed with Li Kai's thoughts: "Liu Jingsheng is extremely suspicious, he has brought more people to go, I am afraid that the matter of asking him for food will come to an end, he will think that we have to use force to subdue him, the nerd has a deep temper and he must be angry in his heart, instead of provoking him, it is better to pass it like this!" ”

"So! Everyone, I will come back, if you are a little **, if you are more than a dozen, I will be back! Li Kai smiled and bowed his hands one by one, got into the carriage, beckoned the coachman to catch the car, Ma Chao also rode on the Baiyi horse, carrying a spear behind him;

Mao Jue looked at Li Kai, who was traveling far away, smacked his lips in admiration, and then said: "Mr. Xiao is gone, we still need to work together in the affairs of Nanyang County!" General Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui, must be strictly guarded against! Don't let them take advantage of it!

General Huang Zhong, Liang Gang, and Li Feng immediately returned to Nanyang County with their troops and horses, and paid close attention to the movements there... I don't want anyone to spoil such a good situation! ”

Everyone said yes to Mao Jue's words one by one, because what Mao Jue said was reasonable, and his personality was commendable, everyone was very convinced of him... Even if he is not a leader, he can command them temporarily;
