Xiakou.

Far away, the soldiers guarding the city saw a man slowly walking towards this side. The eye-catching ink-shaped flag could clearly identify the other party's flag from a distance. Someone immediately returned to the city to report the matter to Liu Bei.

"It seems that Bo Yuan has arrived." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and smiled at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei nodded and stood up and said, "It's true that it's not as expected by Kong Ming. Since that's the case, how can we go and greet him in person?"

"Brother!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were a little dissatisfied. Zhang Fei stood up and frowned and said, "It's just a craftsman, why should my brother greet him in person?"

It would be fine if Zhuge Liang used to be, after all, Zhuge Liang had real talents and knowledge, but now Liu Yi is another one, which makes Guan Yu and Zhang Fei unhappy, especially knowing that Liu Yi married Lu Bu's daughter, and his brother went to Mocheng to worship Lu Bu himself, which made Zhang Fei even more unhappy. Everyone knows that he and Lu Bu are mortal enemies. If it weren't for Lu Bu, how could Xuzhou be lost? Why did they still live under someone's roof?

"Yide!" Liu Bei frowned slightly and glared at Zhang Fei: "You have seen Bo Yuan's ability as well."

"That's also a craftsman." Zhang Fei hummed.

"Do you look down on me as a brother, weaving mats and selling shoes for your life in the past?" Liu Bei was a little angry and asked Liu Yi to assist him, but it took a lot of effort. Now that everyone is here, isn't it not for him to say this at this time to give him face?

"Brother, you are a royal relative, how can he compare with you?" Zhang Fei was glared by Liu Bei, and his aura suddenly became much weaker. He was not afraid of heaven or earth for the rest of his life, just afraid that his brother would glar at him.

"If you don't want to go, don't go!" Liu Bei snorted coldly, threw a sentence, and took Zhuge Liang out of the city.

Zhang Fei glanced at Guan Yu: "Second brother..."

"Let's go, then Liu Yi is indeed quite capable." Guan Yu shook his head. Although he had complaints about Liu Bei's reception of a craftsman like this, Guan Yu was more stable than Zhang Fei.

When the two followed Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang and arrived outside the city, Liu Yi and a hundred soldiers had already arrived at the city. They saw Liu Bei from afar, turned over and dismounted, bowed and smiled at Liu Bei, "Why did the Emperor's Uncle meet him in person?"

"Boyuan is a blessing to come." Liu Bei kindly took Liu Bei's hand and said, "Speaking of this, you and I met before Kong Ming, it's a pity that Bei knew all the talents at that time and almost missed Bo Yuan."

When Liu Bei first visited Zhuge Liang's residence, he met Liu Yi. At that time, he thought the craftsman was a little special and didn't care much. He also met Liu Yi during the second visit. Liu Yi also gave them a carriage. It was also from that time that Liu Bei began to pay attention to Liu Yi.

"The emperor's uncle is very serious. At that time, Yi had no reputation and no talent. Now he was wrongly loved by the emperor's uncle, and he felt frightened!" Liu Yi shook his head and smiled and greeted Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei.

Don't care about your thoughts before, now that you have to make a living with others, your attitude must be right and you are arrogant. Maybe Liu Bei can tolerate it for a while, but he will never tolerate it for a lifetime.

"Ha, you craftsman are a little wise!" Zhang Fei snorted coldly.

The originally warm atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

"Yide, you are rude!" Liu Bei turned his head and glared at Zhang Fei with some anger.

"He said it himself." Zhang Fei hummed depressedly.

"Lord, Bo Yuan has just arrived and has been running hard all the way. He shouldn't have spoken here." Zhuge Liang took a step forward, smiled and broke the awkward atmosphere, and took Liu Yi's hand and said, "Bo Yuan, I haven't seen him for many days, and I have a lot to say, and I'll continue it in my heart."

Liu Bei also nodded quickly and said, "What sir said is very true, Bo Yuan, go."

Liu Yi nodded, feeling a little unhappy, and followed Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang over Zhang Fei and headed into the city.

"He said it himself." Zhang Fei watched the three of them leave, looked at Guan Yu, and said indignantly.

Guan Yu shook his head, said nothing, but patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder and said, "Is Yide going to push talents out for his brother?"

Compared to Zhang Fei, Guan Yu's disgust towards Liu Yi was not that strong, and he looked at the problem more objectively. Whether it was the equipment provided by Liu Yi or the city defense designed by Fancheng, it helped Liu Bei very much. Although he was defeated in the end, he was not as powerful as others. Moreover, Guan Yu was originally from the bottom and did not have much disgust towards Liu Yi. As for Lu Bu, no matter what, he was also the best general in the world at that time. Moreover, everyone died, and the hatred was not heavy. What's more, Liu Yi just went to Lu Bu's daughter, which was nothing to Guan Yu's opinion.

Zhang Fei was still a little nervous and was pulled to the city by Guan Yu.

This time when Liu Yi came to Xiakou, in addition to the hundred soldiers in Mocheng, he also brought Wei Yan and Liu Sandao to accompany him. Naturally, there were people to receive these people and horses, so Liu Yi didn't need to worry about it.

The group came to Xiakou Government Office. Liu Bei ordered people to prepare sake, greet Liu Yi and sat down, and smiled and said, "The third brother is relatively simple and straightforward. Many times he is verbal and unintentional. Don't go to Bo Yuan in his heart."

"The third general is straightforward and open-minded, and is a powerful general in the world. Although Yi was in Mocheng these days, he heard about the bravery of the third general. He was the general who was repelled from the millions of Cao troops at the head of the Dangyang Bridge." Liu Yi clasped his fists at Zhang Fei and said, no matter what, these are the core figures of Liu Bei's side. And when he came, Liu Yi also expected this situation. Since he decided to hold Liu Bei's thigh, people like Zhang Fei should not be offended.

"You have some knowledge." Zhang Fei felt relieved when he heard this, and raised his wine bowl and said, "But I don't know how much you drink?"

"It's not as large as the three generals." Liu Yi picked up the wine cup on the desk and slurped it all in one sip.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Boyuan is also heroic."

With Liu Bei, a person who is good at maintaining interpersonal relationships, and Zhang Fei is not completely disliked by Liu Yi, but Liu Yi also intends to integrate into this team. After a while, the previous grudges have disappeared a lot.

Wine is a good thing. It can make people forget many worries and unhappiness for the time being. When drinking, it is possible to call brothers and brothers, especially when encountering a drunken man like Zhang Fei. Of course, the premise is that the relationship between the two parties will not be like the kind of natural conflict like Lu Bu and Zhang Fei back then.

After a banquet, it was considered that the host and the host would have had fun, so it was naturally impossible to talk about the important matter here. Since Liu Yi has come, it is basically a foregone conclusion that he has served Liu Bei. Liu Bei cannot be so anxious, so he said this as soon as he came.

After the banquet, the next day, after sobering up, Liu Bei pulled Zhuge Liang to invite Liu Yi to talk to him.

"I am just a craftsman. I know everything about the general situation. Since the emperor's uncle has already helped Kong Ming, there are already countermeasures in this regard. Now that I come here to join me, I will handle some chores for the emperor's uncle." Liu Yi looked at Liu Bei and smiled.

"Oh?" Liu Bei looked at Liu Yi and smiled and said, "Bo Yuan is a talented person, how can he do some chores?"

Besides, Liu Bei has only such a few soldiers now, where can he get the chores?

"From the current situation, if the emperor's uncle wants to succeed, he must rely on the power of Jiangdong. This battle is dominated by Jiangdong. What the emperor should do at this time is to consolidate his own strength. After Cao Cao was defeated, he took the opportunity to capture the four counties of Jingnan." Liu Yi said in a slight sense: "There are not many magistrates in the four counties of Jingnan. With the reputation of the emperor's uncle, it is not difficult to win the four counties of Jingxiang."

The three major counties of Jingbei Nanyang, Nanjun and Jiangxia are the main forces of Jingxiang. As for the four counties of Jingnan, although the territory is vast, they are sparsely populated and are not difficult to obtain, but the development space is limited. Liu Yi intends to vigorously develop the four counties of Jingnan, but this takes several years of hard work and will not be able to take effect in the short term, so Liu Yi has not mentioned it now. He will say slowly in the future that he should not ask for power, but to prove his own value.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other. This was their plan. They pulled Jiangdong into the chariot and watched Cao and Sun fight. Then if Cao's army was defeated, they would first take Jingnan as the foundation, and then find a way to include Nanjun and Jiangxia in the tent. If Sun Quan was defeated, they would take the opportunity to seize Jiangdong. Liu Yi's words were basically the same as Zhuge Liang, but Liu Yi did not consider the matter of Jiangdong. He only considered Cao Cao's actions after his defeat, which was a bit extreme. But this alone was enough to prove that Liu Yi was not an ordinary craftsman, and even more powerful than ordinary strategists.

"I'll make some equipment here. After Cao's army is defeated, I can help the emperor capture Jiangling and capture Nanjun." Liu Yi smiled and said, if Jiangling is captured, Nanjun will basically be captured except Xiangyang.

"How to seize it?" Liu Bei said happily. It was basically no problem to take down the four counties in Jingnan, but Jiangling might not be that easy. The Jiangling land was not only solid in the city, but also rich in reserves. The reason why Liu Bei wanted to go to Jiangling before was because he stocked up almost the entire Xiangyang's supplies and food. Once Jiangling was taken down, he would not have to worry about military supplies and food.

"Yi is good at craftsmen's skills, but there are no magical strategies, but siege equipment is not difficult. I am willing to make some siege equipment. When luck comes in the future, I will definitely help the emperor to defeat Jiangxia in one fell swoop." Liu Yi said with a little confidence. Now the attributes of the things he made have broken, and he can gradually expand the level and to a certain extent, he can make up for the number gap.

Liu Bei was quite satisfied when he heard this. He even lowered his identity to invite Liu Yi at any cost. What he valued was Liu Yi's unique ability in this regard. He sounded like a good craftsman, but in this world, Liu Bei forced anyone to know that the weapons he made could cut off the enemy's weapons, with strong armor and long range of bows and arrows. Most importantly, Liu Yi is a super craftsman who can drive mass production of others. It does not mean that he can only build weapons by himself.

Although Liu Bei didn't know why Liu Yi had such ability, for Liu Bei, this ability was the most important thing for me to use. So when Liu Yi proposed this, Liu Bei was very satisfied. What he wanted was Liu Yi's ability in this regard. He didn't even need Liu Yi to call him the master, because Liu Yi's ability was tangible. As long as he was willing to do things here, his value could be maximized. This is different from Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu's civil servants and military generals. Their abilities are invisible and invisible.

"Then please ask Beaumon for this matter." Liu Bei smiled and said, "If you need it, please make it as much as possible and try to satisfy it." Liu Bei smiled and said, perhaps in the eyes of others, such a great amount of energy was not worth it to a craftsman, but Liu Bei himself thought it was worth it.
