Outside the capital of Chengdu, four camps were erected one after another. For two months, you could see Liu Bei's troops coming from the direction of Luo County every day.

At first, there was only one camp, and generals such as Zhang Ren could still come out to fight against Liu Bei's army, but with the continuous arrival of Liu Bei's army, the morale of Chengdu began to gradually decline.

When the second large camp was built, Liu Zhang did not dare to send troops out of the city easily, for fear that Liu Bei would take advantage of the situation to attack the city. Next, the third and fourth large camps were successively established, and Cheng's all completely isolated from the outside world. Liu Bei's attack was obviously just a siege and not attacking, which was due to their long-term efforts.

Such actions made the people of the Chengdu military and civilians panic. Did the Cao army retreat? Otherwise, where would Liu Bei have so many troops to siege the city?

Of course, some people doubt whether Liu Bei was bluffing? In fact, there were no such many people? After all, if you really had so many people, it would be better to kill in directly. Why do you have to be so troublesome? Just sent troops to try a few times and were driven back. This made the capable people in the capital frown. Even if Liu Bei did not have a 120,000 army, there were still a lot of people.

In June, the sultry weather in Shu was like a steamer, which made the people in it feel like they could be steamed at any time. However, Liu Beijun, who was in the military camp, had this feeling not strong. The air was not cool, but it was definitely not as hot as it was. But once they left the military camp, it would be two worlds, which made many soldiers wonder if there was anything dirty in the military camp.

The attribute of warm winter and cool summer is not known whether the soldiers will directly get heatstroke during combat, or wait until autumn and winter before talking about combat.

Liu Yi sat on the back of the horse, thinking about these messy questions while rushing to the road. He didn't feel anything when he left the camp in the morning, but now as the sun gradually rose, the stuffy feeling finally made Liu Yi realize how unfriendly the summer in Shuzhong is to outsiders, and even had the urge to turn around and respond.

It wouldn't be too hot, but this stuffy feeling is like being in a steaming room. At the same temperature, Shu and the outside world are definitely two different experiences.

"Is this considered a self-inflicted crime?" Liu Yi looked at the surrounding scenery and sighed. Fortunately, he was strong and ordinary scholars would have had heatstroke if they were not used to the weather in Shu.

"Sir, what kind of place are you looking for?" The general who accompanied him was a general in Jingzhou. At this moment, he obviously couldn't stand the stuffy climate. He wanted to go back to the barracks, but he saw Liu Yi wandering around with a compass, but he had not decided the place he was looking for, and he was a little impatient.

"You can't be anxious for such things." Liu Yi shook his head. As for what he was going to do, this time he wanted to find a suitable place for construction of a village. Liu Bei's decision to settle Shu was already sure. Liu Yi wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was fine now and applied what he learned during this period to practice. In addition, it was also considered to be an early investment. After the roads in Yizhou were cleared, it would be as likely as in history that Liu Bei's capital would occupy a place here in advance for a long time and build a prosperous house. Even if he couldn't live there, he could still wait for appreciation.

Just like places like Mocheng, Yueyang, and Fishing Township, as Liu Yi's industry, taxes are naturally paid, but except for cities like Yueyang, other places have been renamed by Liu Bei, which is the legal property of Liu Yi.

So this time, Liu Yi was also a fake business for his own private affairs and built a manor for himself.

In the past, when Liu Yi built a manor, he basically chose the place at will. He thought the local environment was good, so Liu Yi started to build it directly. However, since he came into contact with more mysterious things such as the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams and the corresponding attributes really appeared, Liu Yi is now preparing to find a place with a particularly prosperous location for himself.

Seeing that the general looked resentful, Liu Yi was also willing to show off and smiled and said, "This is based on the distribution of the world. The direction of the capital corresponds to the Dui hexagram. The five elements belong to metal, and the energy of war is too heavy. Therefore, this place should be chosen to have a place with a small amount of energy and metal in the five elements to balance the five elements. Therefore, this place cannot be found randomly. This should be the time of heaven and the time of the lower part."

"Will you just need to calculate it?" The general said in confusion. Although it was complicated, it was so big that it was not difficult to find a suitable place, right?

"I built a Zhuangzi and wanted to live in people. The place cannot be separated from it. They are all too far away. In addition, it is necessary to form a situation where the five elements are mutually reborn. This position is difficult to find. The five elements are mutually reborn and the five elements are incompatible with each other. It is difficult to distinguish between the principles and principles. In addition, there are also rivers, mountains and rivers around it. Such a place is difficult to find~" Liu Yi shook his head and said.

If we follow the theory of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, it is indeed not difficult to find as the general said. If this place is really a piece of spread out white paper, it would be too easy to find such a place.

But the problem is that there is no place on the earth that will really be like a piece of white paper for you to apply. You have to combine the local terrain to find the most suitable place for living, with convenient transportation, and can be cleared with mountains and waters. That is rare.

The general was confused and followed Liu Yi with a bitter look on his face, hanging his head, not understanding why the lord would agree to it when Liu Yi went to build a village for him during the war, and even the lord allocated money to build a house for Liu Yi.

Liu Yi naturally didn't know what the generals thought. Even if he knew, he would only laugh. Although he was building a village for himself, looking at the Mocheng and Fishing Village places, you can know why Liu Bei was so magnanimous to Liu Yi's move. What's more, what the Mocheng and Fishing Village brought not only huge profits, but more importantly, it could drive the development of the entire region. For example, the fishing village established by Liu Yi at the time, the concept and structure of fish ponds, mulberry trees and textiles that integrated into Jingzhou have driven much economy, and even Jiangdong began to follow suit, so he knew why Liu Bei expressed support for Liu Yi's behavior.

This means that in the near future, once Liu Bei takes over Chengdu and settles in Yizhou, he will quickly receive a lot of funding.

What's more, in the blueprint of Shu that Liu Yi structured for Liu Bei, Liu Yi's new village was just the beginning.

Liu Yi was planning to build a barracks specially used to train soldiers based on Chengdu, a perfect Chengdu school. The capital school was not built in Chengdu. According to Liu Yi, it was necessary to establish an independent academic palace outside the city that specializes in cultivating talents from all walks of life for Liu Bei. In addition, there was a printing factory that Liu Yi had been thinking about. If Liu Bei occupied Shuzhong, according to Liu Yi's plan, since he could not wipe out the world in a short time, it would be better to use the closed environment of Shu to promote printing and paper books.

Even if the scholars in Shu oppose it, they are only dealing with scholars in one state rather than being enemies with scholars from all over the world. Liu Bei is a strong lord and has the entire Jingzhou as a backing. When the first batch of talents are gradually cultivated in Shu, they can be promoted to Jingzhou. At that time, Liu Bei will have enough foundation to do this. Of course, Liu Bei may not be able to see it in his lifetime, but Liu Yi believes that he will definitely see it in his lifetime.

No matter how the result of Liu Yi's promotion of such paper books, Chengdu Academy can indeed bring great benefits to Liu Bei. At least in terms of talents, it can gradually get rid of the demand for aristocratic families and eliminate the aristocratic families, because new talents will gradually become new aristocratic families, but these new aristocratic families are indeed controlled by Liu Bei. In this way, a team of direct talents who are completely controlled by Liu Bei can be added in addition to the scholars of Jingzhou, Shuzhong, and Dongzhou. While strengthening the talent team in Shuzhong, Liu Bei has absolute control over the entire territory.

Liu Bei's needs are different from Liu Yi's direction, but in terms of interests, it obviously has long-term significance for Liu Bei's rights, so Liu Bei naturally fully supports Liu Yi's idea.

After searching for a day, but still not finding a suitable place, Liu Yi had to give up temporarily, return to the camp to rest, and go out to continue looking for it tomorrow. Now, he is surrounded by four camps. Liu Yi set up a seven-meter-high watchtower in each camp. Liu Zhang's army continued to huddle in the city, but if he wanted to leave the city, Liu Bei would immediately be shocked.

Of course, it is not really impossible to bypass it. It is still possible to get off the city wall with a rope ladder overnight and bypass the fourth battalion. However, it is only suitable for sending people to run out to seek help from outside. Although Liu Bei still set up many open and secret sentries around, it is difficult to completely block such sporadic scattered soldiers, and there is no need to block them.

The longer the time goes on, the more beneficial it will be for Liu Bei. The news that Chengdu gets will be, and Liu Yi even suggested that Liu Bei remove the open and secret posts when the time is ripe, so that the Liu Zhang army in the capital can get more accurate information. Psychologically, it will first make the opponent desperate. By then, it should be no big problem to surrender Liu Zhang.

After returning to the military camp, he felt much more comfortable. Liu Yi remembered something and asked the soldiers who escorted him to return to the team on their own, so he went straight to find Jian Yong.

"Is Zhang Song still in the city now?" Liu Yi sat opposite Jian Yong, going straight to the topic.

If Zhang Song was not cheated by his brother as in history, it would be a good help. Although Fa Zheng is still in Chengdu, his status is not high after all, and he can't even see Liu Zhang. No matter how capable he is, he can't show it. On the other hand, Zhang Song, as a Yizhou Neijia, as Liu Zhang's secretary, can have a long time to come into contact with Liu Bei, and at this time, he will have a great role to play.

"Don't Bo Yuan know?" Jian Yong looked at Liu Yi in confusion: "Previously, Shi Yuan sent a letter to Zhang Song, but he accidentally sent it to his brother's mansion, and was killed by Liu Zhang."

Liu Yi remembered that when he first entered Sichuan, Pang Tong told him privately that Zhang Song had repeatedly, but he could not keep him. Could it be that this guy was doing it?

Nodded with regret. After Liu Yi exchanged a few greetings with Jian Yong, he stood up and said goodbye. Without Zhang Song as an insider, it seemed that he could only knock out all Liu Zhang's hopes and then send someone to surrender to Liu Zhang.
