After two months, Li Kai returned to Nanyang County, Nanyang County has changed a lot, Mao Jue and Mao Xiaoxian have made great contributions, millions of displaced people have been properly resettled, and Nanyang County has become one of the most shady places in terms of population; Yuan Shu greeted him in person, and looked Li up and down with concern: "Hahaha!" Filial piety! You've lost a lot of weight! Lu Bu didn't embarrass you, did he? ”

Li Kai shook his head with a smile: "No, I am respectful and obedient, which makes me very embarrassed!" Dong Zhuo is dead, the Son of Heaven has died, does Yuan Gong know about these things? ", Li said in a low voice; I knew it a month ago, the Son of Heaven died, the princes were ready to move, and the 'Emperor Uncle Alliance' in the south was even more arrogant, making it clear that if it wasn't for Zhicai's aggravation of his illness, he would have taught them a fucking lesson! ", Young Master Yuan is still resentful;" The last shackles of the Han Dynasty on various places have been completely opened, and the future can be imagined! Li Kai sighed: "How is Nanyang now?" I haven't been back for a long time, I don't know what happened? ”

Yuan Shu scratched his head and said: "The big thing is that Old Master Kong is waiting for you to negotiate with him, it's not that he doesn't believe me, but because there are many people in Yuzhou who don't want to defect to me, the Son of Heaven is dead, and the thoughts of those imperial relatives are alive!"

He means that this matter needs to be resolved peacefully, and Zhicai also agrees, so I need you to negotiate with them on my behalf, after all, you have a very good reputation in Yuzhou, and you have also dealt with those imperial relatives, and they also respect you, which is a good thing! Hehe! ”

"Well, this matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible, I will leave immediately, Yuan Gong is still ready, current affairs change people's minds, big battles are impossible, and small fights will still occur!" , Li Kai nodded and said; "In addition to this matter, the rest is Zhicai's illness, Sun Jian officially defected to me, and the imperial uncle alliance led by Liu Biao is pressing step by step, and he has been fighting against Ji Ling for a long time in Deng County, outside Xiangyang! Oh! There are also a few people who defected to me, Mr. Yan Xiang, and your old acquaintance Zhang Xian, who was defeated in Nanjun and defected here! ”

"Sun Jian Yan Xiang, Zhang Xian", Li Kai muttered to himself, the expression in his eyes was inexplicable, Zhang Xian said that this person is very loyal, Yan Xiang has never seen it, I don't know how, Sun Wentai This is a dragon, and he must keep an eye on it at all times; "Let's go! Zhicai has been waiting for you! Yuan Shu sighed a little: "It's really jealous of talents!" Even God is jealous of his talents! Phew——! Master Yuan is rarely sad, because he has always been the kind of person who has no heart and no lungs; traveled all the way to Yuan Shu's house, the interesting thing is that Li and Xi Zhicai both live in Yuan Shu's house, both of them belong to the kind of people who have nothing to worry about, and they are also people who are used to living hard, as long as there is a place to live and something to eat, there are no other requirements; Before entering the house, Xi Zhicai's cough came, and he opened the door, the weather in June had already entered the office, but Xi Zhicai was covered with a big quilt, and a pair of eyes were deeply sunken in, and he was so old when he didn't see him for two months! Xi Zhicai wiped the corners of his mouth, and there was still a trace of blood on it: "Filial piety?" You're finally back."

"Brother Zhicai!" , Li Kai could only call out this sentence, and he couldn't speak anymore, so Xi Zhicai laughed: "Why is the husband a daughter?" Lord, I want to talk to Xiaoxian alone for a while! I hope the Lord will agree! ”

Yuan Shu's eyes were red and he closed the door gently, for fear that Xi Zhicai would be disturbed in the house, so Xi Zhicai stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Kai's sleeve: "Xiao come over first, my eyes are a little unclear, I can't see clearly!" ”

"Brother Zhicai! I'm here! I'm here, I'm here", Li Kai originally had a stomach of things to say, but in the end he couldn't say anything, his heart was full of sadness, this is his best friend, like-minded, once bold words to move forward together; Xi Zhicai's eyes were cloudy, and he barely squeezed out a smile: "I said you listen, I asked you to answer that you have been gone for so long, does Dong Zhuo's death and the death of the Son of Heaven have anything to do with you?" Hehe! I'm just asking, don't I believe that the Son of Heaven will die for no reason, no matter how bold Dong Zhuo and those people are, they won't kill him, right? ”

"I did some tricks, Yuan Gong's surname has too many defects, I am worried that he will be in the future", Li Kai whispered: "I also have no choice!" ”

"Well done! You're right! Xi Zhicai said: "If you die, you will die!" But don't reveal this kind of thing in the future, or you will be ruined and pointed out by thousands of people, and I am a dying man, and I will take these things underground!

I don't think I'm running out of time! Although full of regret and unwillingness, this is my life! It's a pity that I can't join hands with you and repay Yuan Gong's great kindness to us! It's a pity! Now, I want to pin all my unfulfilled wishes on you, what do you think? ”

"It's an honor!" , a line of tears flowed from Li Kai's eyes, and he replied to Xi Zhicai's words sonorously; "Good! Okay", Xi Zhicai closed his eyes slightly: "I'm a little tired, yes!" I'm so tired! My life has been full of sorrow all the time, my parents, my wife and children have not died well, and I am the same, my life!

Xiaoxian, your surname also has a lot of flaws, you are too upright, this is not good, too offensive, change it, it is good for you, hehe, maybe I think too much, you are so smart that you will definitely know your own problems I want to see the lord! ”

Li Kai wiped his tears and came to the courtyard: "Yuan Gong! Zhicai wants to see you", looking at Li Kai's appearance, Yuan Shu's eyes were suddenly full of worry, and he hurriedly ran to the room, Xi Zhicai got up and came to the window!

"Zhicai? Zhicai? Yuan Shu hurriedly shouted, Xi Zhicai turned around and smiled, and said, "This is my last moment, return to the light, lord!" There are three things I don't worry about, I want to explain it to you, you must remember it! ”

"You say! You said! Yuan's words were incoherent, his expression was very sad, and Xi Zhicai was also very sad: "The lord treats me like this, but I can't continue to help you Really, the first thing, about filial piety!"

He is a very upright person, and he is very strong, and if one day your wishes are contrary to his advice, I hope that the lord will think about it more, and please remember that he is the same as me, and will not harm you, never!

The second thing, Sun Wentai, this person seems to be a martial artist, but in fact he is a shrewd and capable person, he just wants to borrow chickens to lay eggs now, get rid of him as soon as possible! Avoid future troubles! One last thing, hey, you don't reassure me by yourself! I"

The more Xi Zhicai spoke, the quieter his voice became, and he fell down in a daze before he finished speaking, his breathing became more and more rapid, and his face suddenly turned red: "Poof——! The blood spurted and the drama went! went with all his heart and soul; "Zhicai? Zhicai? Zhicai——! A roar full of pain, Li Kai in the courtyard cried uncontrollably, as a man, he hadn't cried for many years, it turned out that the taste of tears was so bitter!

Xi Zhicai went, with an unfulfilled wish, his life was lonely, his life was also sad, but his talent was dazzling! In the last period of his life, he shone and impressed countless people!

He has no relatives, even if there is no one who can send him to the end, Yuan Shu felt in his heart, and personally handled this funeral for him, carrying the coffin and keeping the spirit to do what should be done, just like a junior's respect for his elders, this sincerity has also changed many people's views of him; Dragging his tired body, Li Kai returned to his room, he had just come back and encountered such a tragedy, he didn't even have any preparation, his eyes were red and swollen, his steps were weak, Zhen Jiang was cleaning up his room, and he saw him come back to greet him; The dumb girl couldn't speak, but her feelings were more delicate, she knew Li Kai's current mood, and gave him a comforting embrace, Li Kai lay on her shoulder, tears were still flowing: "I'm just a few friends!" ”

Once upon a time, when others encountered a tragedy, Li would say: The son is on the river, the deceased is like Sifu, the son is on the boat, the deceased is like Sifu, and the son is in his turn, he can still say that the deceased is gone, and the living are like this?

No! Dong Zhuo is dead, Guo Yan is dead, maybe he doesn't know, Li Su is also dead, and now it's the turn of Xi Zhicai to have confidants, close friends, and a series of blows, Li Kai looks depressed; The old one is gone, and the new one will follow" This is Yang Hong, this is Yuan Lian, this is my younger brother Yuan Yin, and this is Mr. Yan Xiang!" In the capital of Nanyang County, the civil and military generals gathered together, and Yuan Shu introduced these newcomers to Li Kai one by one: "This is Li Kai and Li Xiaoxian!" ”

Li Kai was not in a good mood, but he still got up and saluted one by one: "Li Xiao has seen you first!" Courteous! When a close friend died, my heart was depressed, and if there was any rudeness, I would like to look at Haihan! ”

Yan Xiang is a native of Yuzhou, a famous man in Yuzhou, about sixty years old, with a childish face, fairy wind and bones, quite resourceful, is a generous old man, and said: "I have heard Li Xiaoxian's name for a long time!" I didn't expect to be so young, what a young hero! And love and righteousness, good! ”

Yuan Jian is a man in his thirties, good at internal affairs, and he was also appointed as Mao Jue's deputy because of his talent, serving as the post of Changshi, his surname is Gengzhi, and he doesn't like to talk: "Since Mr. Li has returned, he still wants to focus on the overall situation, and Yuzhou still needs to rely on you!" ”

This is his style, it is too hard, even Li Kai can't accept it, especially his current mood, and immediately replied hard: "I know!" I don't need you to remind me! Yuan was silent; Don't look at his surname Yuan, but he has no dime to do with the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, he is also a poor scholar, and most of the poor scholars have created a variety of different surnames because of their different family environments, which is understandable; Yuan Yin is the younger brother of Yuan Shu, and he is also the representative of the Yuan family's hometown in Runan County, and he is a representative of the faction that tends to Yuan Shu, most of the Yuan family are very handsome, and Yuan Yin is no exception, the tiger's back is very strong, and the sun is handsome; As for Yang Hong, he is a representative of the Yuzhou scholar family in Yuzhou who is inclined to Yuan Shu, and has an inexplicable relationship with the Hongnong Yang family, who is also the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, and he belongs to the kind of people who are disgusting in terms of appearance; In addition to these fresh faces, Li Kai also saw the zombie-faced Zhang Xian, who fought with Liu Jingsheng in Nanjun for more than half a year, but was defeated because of his poor strength, Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu were also rebelled by Liu Biao, so he had to flee alone and defected to Yuan Shu, hoping to avenge Wang Rui with the help of Yuan Shu; Mao Jue, who has been working hard in the resettlement of displaced people, now looks like an old farmer, but he is really suffering, as well as Zhou Tai, who trained the navy, Zhao Xiang, Sun Wentai, Sun Bofu, Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun, and Liu Lin are all there; There are a lot of people, there are about twenty people, but the atmosphere in the lobby is very weird, no one dares to say a word, even Young Master Yuan is also silent, everyone is waiting, waiting for Li Xiao to adjust his mood first, and then speak; After a long time, Li Kai stood up, walked to the map and said, "I came back from the north, and I know more news!" So, let's talk about the dynamics of the princes from all walks of life! The first is that the chaotic battle around Chang'an is over, and it ended a few days ago!

This war involved six forces, most of them were Dong Zhuo's scattered old troops, a big war of more than 600,000 people, and all of them were cavalry battles, with more than 200,000 casualties, which may be said to be less! Niu Fu, Guo Yan, Duan Xuan and others died one after another in the war!

Ma Teng and Han Sui won first and then lost in the end, Jia Xu This person is a famous person in Xiliang, and he is also a very powerful person, I defeated him for a while, but it was a fluke, his talent was better than me several times and rushed to the Xiliang Wuwei area; The Huns were flanked by Lü Bu and Zhang Yang, defeated and retreated to the Hetao grassland, Chang'an City is now left with Li Dao's troops to confront Lü Bu and Zhang Yang, it can be said that there is no winner in this war, all the forces on all sides have suffered heavy losses, and this is beneficial to us in the long run; Because in terms of the current military strength, the military power in that area can sweep any force in the world, and now that they are all decaying, we can also develop with confidence! This is Si Lizhou and Xiliang; Gongsun Zan and Han Fu in the north united with Yuan Shao to fight inextricably, and Yuan Benchu of Qingzhou couldn't help them for a while, even with the support of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Wuhuan people, and Xianbei people, this war is also protracted in my opinion, and it will not be possible to distinguish the winner in a few years!

There is also Yanzhou, Yanzhou is even more chaotic now, when I came back, I passed there, there were chaotic soldiers everywhere, Cao Ying, Zhang brothers, Kong Rong, Bao Xin and others united to fight Liu Dai to the death, and the target of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army this year is also Yanzhou, it is expected that there will be more chaos there! That's what I know, and who's going to add to that in the South? ”

"I'll tell you!" , Yan Xiang stroked his beard and said: "Xuzhou Tao Qian raised 100,000 strong soldiers in Danyang County, and practiced at night, it can be seen that he also has some other ideas, especially in the Xiapi area, someone openly proclaimed the emperor, but he was not surrounded and suppressed, which is intriguing!"

Hanzhong Zhang Lu has been fighting with Liu Yan recently, and he is also inextricably fighting, and the only quiet place is probably our generation! But the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop! The alliance of Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Liu Miao is too much of a threat to us, our foundation is too thin, and the two counties of Nanyang and Runan are not enough to fight against them! Therefore, a trip to Yuzhou is imperative! ”

"That's true! After taking Yuzhou, we will have a certain amount of capital to fight against them! Mao Jue nodded: "The Central Plains is a place of war, which is not conducive to development, just like playing Go, I suggest dealing with the Imperial Uncle Alliance, first take Liu Xuan!" Phnom Penh silver horn belly, that's exactly the truth! ”

"It's too early to say that! Let's wait for Yuzhou to take it down! Li Kai said: "I need 10,000 soldiers and horses to travel with me, and some things can't be done just by lip service."
