It was already the third day after I returned from Mi Fang.

There is no hatred for no reason in this world. In history, Mi Fang betrayed Liu Bei was obviously not just a momentary impulse, but had already accumulated enough emotions. Guan Yu obviously had to bear most of the responsibility for this matter.

Liu Yi closed his eyes. Although he drank too much, he was different from others. After drinking too much, Liu Yi's mind became clearer, but his emotions were much more excited than usual. When he drank too much, he showed that he could not sleep.

The best way to resolve conflicts is to transfer Mi Fang, which is best to transfer back to Chengdu. If someone changes to become the prefect of Nanjun, he is still a senior official and a chief official in the border area. Not to mention whether Mi Fang himself is willing or not, how could Liu Yi be able to mobilize an official of this level?

Lu Su was ill and Lu Meng temporarily took office as the governor. This is a very obvious signal. Lu Meng was a hawk under Sun Quan's command to support the capture of Jingzhou, but he showed that he was weaker than Lu Su. This was even more terrifying than those who came up and shouted to fight and kill, and wanted to capture Jingxiang. At least Guan Yu did not notice Lu Meng's hostility at all.

However, according to the current situation, if Guan Yu did not attack Xiangyang, Jiangdong would definitely not take action for the time being. His fate was fair. He gave Jiangdong the opportunity to capture Nanjun and also gave Liu Bei the opportunity. If Guan Yu stabilized and did not take action easily, Jiangdong would not easily tear his face. If Cao Cao could not attack Hanzhong for a long time, the pressure from the rear would definitely be great, and he would have to retreat.

Unfortunately, this is just if. Guan Yu is already actively preparing to attack Xiangyang at this moment. He cannot persuade him directly. All he can do now is to remedy.

The next day, Chen Ergou brought several personal guards to Jiangling to find Liu Yi. Liu Yi sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhao Yun, hoping that Zhao Yun could send Chen Ergou back to him for a few days.

Several Jianglings sent from Liu Yi, such as Liu Sandao and Chen Ergou, are not considered talented, but their martial arts are really good, and they basically don’t make mistakes in military affairs. It is difficult to be a side of the situation, but it is quite easy to be a deputy general, and Chen Ergou is highly valued under Zhao Yun’s command.

Zhao Yun was still a little reluctant to let Liu Yi ask for someone this time, and he used it too easily. However, Liu Yi spoke, but he couldn't stop him and sent Chen Ergou back directly.

"Sir!" Having not seen each other for several years, Chen Ergou was quite excited to see Liu Yi again and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"I came just right, and you need some things to do." When Liu Yi saw Chen Ergou, he didn't say nonsense and said directly.

"Sir, please give me instructions." Chen Ergou said quickly.

"I will let you stay in Jiangling and listen to the command under Mi Fang's command." Liu Yi looked at Chen Ergou and said.

"Mi Fujun... is the prefect and not the general..." Chen Ergou was a little confused.

"I am the Jiangling County Captain for the time being." Liu Yi said in a search. He had no choice but to take care of the high-ranking officials, but he still had a way to move the Jiangling County Captain. Whether Guan Yu or Mi Fang would give him this face.

"Here!" Chen Ergou felt a little unwilling. After all, he was very good at being under Zhao Yun's command, and Zhao Yun valued him quite well. Now he was under Mi Fang's command. Although the position of county magistrate is higher than that of him as a military marquis under Zhao Yun's command, his connections and other connections have to be established again. However, Liu Yi spoke now, and he couldn't refuse.

"Help me watch Fu Shiren." Liu Yi did not notice Chen Ergou's dissatisfaction and carefully considered it: "I always feel that this person has some problems, so it's better to send someone to inquire about Fu Shiren's past in secret."

"No...sir, why don't you let me go to Fu Shiren's command directly?" Chen Ergou looked at Liu Yi in shock and said.

"I don't have much interaction with Fu Shiren. If you are directly placed under Fu Shiren's command, it will inevitably make him suspicious." Liu Yi shook his head and said, "What you need to pay attention to is the main contact between Fu Shiren and Mi Fang."

"If Fu Shiren had contacted Mi Fujun..." Chen Ergou was clever. As soon as Liu Yi said that, he understood a little and looked at Liu Yi and said.

"Don't act rashly, just report it to me." Liu Yi shook his head and said.

"Here!" Chen Ergou agreed upon hearing this. He could have heard that Liu Yi's transfer to Jiangling this time was obviously not as simple as a transfer order.

Chen Ergou was Liu Yi's escort in the past. Now Liu Yi wants to transfer Chen Ergou to Jiangling to be a county magistrate. Although he is a bit of a public interest in personal gain, Mi Fang has now regarded Liu Yi as a confidant. Such a small matter will naturally not slapped Liu Yi's face. Besides, Chen Ergou is Liu Yi's person, and Mi Fang thinks he can be considered his own person, so he agreed without hesitation.

In the next few days, Jiangling was calm, and Mi Fang began to arrange ships to transport iron ingots, bamboo and wood, and some coins to the fishing town. Mi Fang sponsored Liu Yi. Now he has a very high official position, but his situation is somewhat isolated and marginalized. Liu Yi was heartbroken to him at this time. He was completely heartbroken to Liu Yi. He would definitely spare no effort if he could help.

Liu Yi was not idle either. Under Zhou Cang's escort, he went to Xiangyang, observed the city defense in Xiangyang, and collected some data on the city wall. Although he had been to Xiangyang, Liu Yi was not as capable as he is now. Because Liu Yi had designed the defense of Fancheng himself, he could still figure out the situation of Xiangyang's city defense. Liu Yi didn't know anything about it. This time he promised to help Guan Yu to make siege equipment. Although he could not do it, he had a ladder, siege hammer, and catapult cart. Liu Yi had already had a draft of the ladder, and now he had obtained the data and then did it again.

Liu Yi did not intend to participate in the battle of attacking Xiangyang, so he only planned to make a few templates, and then hired craftsmen to continue to do the templates. The effect would not be too bad. Siege ships, catapults, wells, ladders and siege hammers. According to the scale of Xiangyang City, each of these things must be made at least 300. Liu Yi wanted to delay it as much as possible, so he only hired 100 craftsmen. If these things were done well, they would take at least three months to delay the time until summer.

If Guan Yu doesn't leave, Jiangdong may not dare to come in like this. Three months is enough to do a lot of things.

The generals outside the city and in the Jingzhou schoolyard.

"Let it go~"

At Liu Yi's order, the three-meter-high catapult cart immediately pulled the rope, and the tense belt suddenly relaxed. After a brief acceleration, the stone bullet was thrown away.

"Boom~"

One hundred and forty steps away, the temporary earthen wall was shattered by stone bombs.

Liu Yi looked at this scene and thought silently. The perfectly crafted catapult car: range +39, sturdy +39, precision +36, movement speed +38

There should be no problem if you attack the city with such attributes. Liu Yi studied the thunderbolt chariot of Cao's army when he was in Shuzhong. Even after improvement, the range was less than 100 steps, and the distance of about 140 steps was far beyond the range of the thunderbolt chariot.

"Okay!" Guan Yu, who was standing beside him, narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly: "With this thing here, why worry about Xiangyang not breaking!?"

"Xiangyang is a strong city, and it is not enough to break through Xiangyang with just a few catapults." Liu Yi shook his head and said, "June and Try this ladder."

Liu Yi took Guan Yu to the edge of the cloud ladder and pointed at the cloud ladder and said, "This is not difficult to operate. Half of the ladder body is fixed, but half is folded, which can reduce the area and be easily pushed. There is a lock at the chassis. It can be pushed to the enemy city and can be fast fixed without anyone supporting each other. In addition, the half of the escalator can be adjusted according to the height of the city wall through ropes, and the angle can be adjusted so that the engineering soldiers can avoid the shooting of guards' bows and arrows. The ladder is a carriage, which can be carried by people, and there are baffles around it. When you get under the city, you can directly enter the battle. The body of the car does not need to be pushed by anyone. A roller is made in the car. As long as the soldiers inside walk on it, the body of the car can automatically move forward, which can reduce casualties when rushing to the city."

Liu Yi said while ordering the soldiers to operate. There was no city wall here, so he used a bracket instead for demonstration. Most of the carriages were occupied by rollers, and the car could only accommodate six people. Six people kept walking, which could drive the vehicle to walk, but it could only be used here. If you treat it as a vehicle to transport supplies, it would be faster than a ox, horse and carriage, and the power consumption was too great. If you simply rushed, you might as well walk faster. Moreover, people walked more roads in the car than outside.

However, even in Liu Yi's opinion, there are many shortcomings, and in Guan Yu's eyes, it is already amazing. In this way, there is no need to send troops to push the ladder and protect the soldiers who push the cart. These people are the easiest to be targeted in siege battles.

The effect of the well is similar, and it can be moved through the internal rollers, but it is not as exaggerated as Shuzhong. It is just that on the basis of the normal well is set up a ladder that is convenient to climb up. Once it approaches the city wall, the soldiers below can quickly rush up the city through the well.

However, there are also disadvantages, they are still afraid of fire. Zhang Ren used this to burn Liu Yi's test items. Not only the wells, ladders, catapults and rushing cars were afraid of fire. If all four siege equipment were wrapped in iron and animal skins, it would be a considerable consumption, and there was no need. Zhang Ren was facing one, but now Liu Yi was preparing to equip Guan Yu's army with thousands of siege equipment. Even if one or two were burned by the defenders, it would be impossible to burn them all.

With these engineering equipment, it should be able to make up for Guan Yu's lack of military strength. As for crushing, it is impossible. In the era of cold weapons, when the two sides have similar levels, it is difficult to crush.

Since there is no way to persuade Guan Yu to give up attacking Xiangyang, Liu Yi is preparing for both hands, hoping that Guan Yu can make a concerted effort to break through Xiangyang in a very short time, and the other is to prepare in the rear, ready to face Jiangdong at any time.

"June, it will take at least three months to complete these things. I will leave the drawings and hire a hundred craftsmen to do them. The effect will not be bad. I have discussed with Brother Zi Fang about the matter of military armor. I have sent the iron ingots and other materials to Yueyang. I will set off tomorrow and will make the military armor and bows and arrows needed by the June to send troops."

"Then Lao Boyuan has to worry about it. If he can win this battle, Boyuan should remember his first merit!" Guan Yu was in a good mood and patted Liu Yi on the shoulder and smiled.

"The ones who charge in battle are the kings and the soldiers of the three armies. They are only responsible for making equipment and dare not be greedy for merit." Liu Yi waved his hand quickly and said, even if he has any contribution, he will not be able to be promoted in a short period of time. At most, he will be rewarded with some money. Liu Yi is not short of money now, so it is better to share these contributions with the soldiers.

Guan Yu didn't say much, but he wrote down this favor.
