"Boyuan, the lord summoned!" Next to the high water wheel, Liu Yi was trying to lose power during the process of hydraulic transmission. Can it support the operation of the entire system? Jian Yong stood in the distance and shouted at Liu Yi on the high platform.

"Oh!" Liu Yi recorded a few data, then discussed with several craftsmen, and then gave the matter to several craftsmen to continue calculating. Only after the calculation was done could the construction start.

"Have Xiaozhi returned?" Liu Yi walked and asked Jian Yong while walking.

"Yes." Jian Yong nodded and said, "It seems that things are going well."

"I hope." Liu Yi nodded. Fa Zheng was a little too arrogant this time. Jiangdong rebounded a lot this time. If it cannot be resolved properly, the situation will be a little unoptimistic.

The two of them went to the water village side by side. Liu Bei was already sitting upright at the top of the head. When he saw Liu Yi coming in, he smiled and said, "Boyuan doesn't have to work so hard."

"Since it has started, we cannot neglect it. If there is a mistake in the transmission of this hydraulic mechanism, if there is a problem at that time, the consequences will be very serious and it will be quite troublesome to repair it." Liu Yi knelt down at the lower head of Liu Bei's left. He does not have much real power now, but his status is not low. Under Liu Bei's command, he is already second only to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and can be ranked alongside Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

"It is a blessing to be able to get Bo Yuan's help!" Liu Bei was very pleased with Liu Yi's rigorous work attitude and sighed.

"The Lord is so serious." Liu Yi smiled and shook his head, without answering the conversation.

Liu Bei looked at Fa Zheng and said, "Xiaozhi, it's OK."

"Here!" Fa Zheng nodded, then thought: "I have not seen the Lord Wu Sun Quan when I went on a mission to Jiangdong this time. However, judging from Lu Su's attitude, I obviously hope that the two families will reconcile. However, now Jiangdong is quite repulsive to our army, and even asks the lord to ced Jiangxia."

"Ha~" Pang Tong, who was standing beside him, shook his head and sneered: "I think that Lu Zijing didn't expect that he really wanted to let his lord ceded Jiang Xia to him, right?"

"Indeed." Fa Zheng nodded and looked at Pang Tong and said, "But if we want to re-align with Jiangdong this time, it will be difficult for our army to fail to show sincerity."

In fact, Liu Bei's re-appointment of kingdom was the most important thing, and the most important thing was to re-establish an allies with Jiangdong and adjust the direction to fight against Cao Cao.

"Now, the entire Jingzhou area has been captured by our army. If Jiangdong wants to develop, it can only develop into the Jianghuai area." Liu Yi pondered: "Will he ask our army to cooperate with them in the Jianghuai area?"

"It's probably the case, but it's hard to say how our army can help him." Fa Zheng nodded. At the moment, Jiangdong wants to form an alliance with Liu Bei, so the development direction can only be from Jiangdong.com. Qing Xuyi brings the fight. To be honest, it is not easy. Even if it is defeated, it will be difficult to defend with the level of Jiangdong's land warfare.

"In the following view, it is impossible to capture the Jianghuai River for the time being. The land in Jiangdong is vast and sparsely populated. If the population of Jianghuai is needed, there is still something to do." Cui Zhouping said.

"Popularity?" Pang Tong and Fa Zheng's eyes lit up. This is a good idea. What Jiangdong lacks now is not the chassis, but the population. Liu Bei has developed Jingnan over the years and naturalized many mountains and rivers, making Jingnan's land gradually prosperous and the population is increasing year by year. Jiangdong is very likely to follow this idea.

"If so, what can we help?" Jian Yong said in confusion.

"Contain Cao's army." Liu Yi sighed. If this fight really starts, Xiangyang must be built as soon as possible. Judging from the progress of the project there, it is the fastest to be built before the end of the year.

"Even if our army does not take the initiative to provoke, I think Cao's army is coming soon." Pang Tong smiled and said, "Then Lu Zijing looks honest, but he is not incompetent and mediocre. In my opinion, Jiangdong may have begun to provoke Cao's army to attack our army at this moment."

"We need to negotiate with Sun Quan before this?" Liu Yi looked at Pang Tong and smiled.

"Not bad!" Pang Tong nodded and said, "Sun Quan is the weakest among my three families at this time, but because of this, he will be the strongest, and Cao Cao has to come!" Pang Tong gave Liu Yi a look of praise: "If we really wait until Cao Cao comes to attack, our army will be quite passive."

Everyone agreed with this statement. When Cao Cao attacked, the negotiation chips would be much less. It would be better to set things down before Cao Cao attacked.

"But this matter cannot be too urgent." Cui Zhouping smiled.

Pang Tong and Fa Zheng and Liu Yi nodded. It was too urgent and it was easy to expose the sense of demand and let the other party hold it. It would be very unfavorable at the negotiating table.

After a lot of discussion, it was finally decided that Fa Zheng would continue to be responsible for the negotiations with Jiangdong. Liu Yi and Pang Tong went to Xiangyang to cooperate with Guan Yu to prepare for the troops with Cao Cao. This time Liu Bei was going to go to Xiangyang in person. After all, he hadn't seen his second brother for a long time, and when he heard that Guan Yu was injured, Liu Bei was very anxious.

...

"How is it? Bo Yuan was not surprised at all when he saw me this time?" After the meeting, Liu Yi and Pang Tong and Cui Zhouping walked together. Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi with some pride and said.

"I guessed you would come a long time ago. What's the accident?" Liu Yi said angrily, "You are not a beauty, what's the accident?"

"Boyuan, let me tell you something." Pang Tong was a little unhappy with Liu Yi's expression, and suddenly laughed: "You are in the manor built outside Chengdu, but Yide was occupied by Yide."

Liu Yi looked at him unremittingly and said, "I'm afraid you are still there? General Yide has sent me a letter, and it was your instigation."

"Uh..." Pang Tong's expression was a little embarrassed, and he cursed Zhang Fei secretly, saying that he would tell Liu Yi about such a thing.

"You guys say, if you fight with Cao's army again this time, will you have a chance to take Nanyang down?" After everyone talked for a while, the topic still attracted the current situation. The Nanyang basin is very rich, with a large number of plains to cultivate and a dangerous mountain range around it. If Nanyang can be taken down, it will be much easier to enter Guanzhong next.

After hearing this, Pang Tong and Cui Zhouping shook their heads after thinking for a while: "It's quite difficult. The foundation in Shu is not too stable now. It's difficult to draw too many troops. Just rely on the troops in Jingzhou, and you must also be prepared for Jiangdong. Even if you can capture Nanyang, it will be difficult to defend. Therefore, we will focus on restraining Cao's army's forces this time. Bo Yuan should not think too much."

Liu Yi nodded. He was just a sudden idea. Cao's army began to use craftsmen in large numbers to improve his military level as a whole. This made Liu Yi feel a little bit of a sense of crisis. Who knows that the other party will develop any tricky weapons? This is not a matter of attributes. Some things can make you unable to defend against. The war pattern may begin to change completely.

Therefore, Liu Yi hopes to strengthen Liu Bei's influence as soon as possible. The strategic significance of Nanyang is very important. In Cao Cao's hands, it is a bit troublesome to manage due to the transportation of troops. However, for Liu Bei, it is an excellent springboard. If he can hold it in his own hands, Liu Bei's victory will be even more powerful.

"After this battle, go back to Shuzhong." Pang Tong glanced at Liu Yi and said, "Now Shuzhong has begun to have a flat top, but local tyrants colluded with barbarians to rebel in Jianwei, Zhudi and other places all year round. The lord hopes that you can go out to control the southern central area."

"Me?" Liu Yi looked at Pang Tong in shock, not understanding how this matter fell on him?

"Yes." Pang Tong nodded for granted and said, "I, Kong Ming, think that Bo Yuan, you are the most suitable thing in the Southern Central!"

"Why?" Liu Yi looked at Pang Tong in shock and said, "Why don't I know that he is so powerful?"

"The Southern Barbarians do not know military tactics and always surrender and rebel again due to geographical advantages. If they send large troops to conquer, they will immediately hide in the 100,000 deep mountains when they see that the situation is not good. However, as soon as our army leaves, they will immediately return." Pang Tong concluded with Liu Yi.

"So what?" Liu Yi looked at Pang Tong, why is he the most suitable one?

"But those southern barbarians, in fact, were in troublesome and rushed forward. There were no military troops, but there were many strange things that made our army very troubled." Pang Tong shook his head and said, "It is not difficult for them to deal with. The important thing is that they cannot send too many troops to conquer them. It is easy for these southern barbarians to escape directly. Bo Yuan can be built there, make some things and attract the southern barbarians to attack."

So, because the enemy itself is not strong and it is just a bit tangled, you big men are unwilling to do it, so is it right to throw the Nanman area directly to me?

Liu Yi looked at Pang Tong's nose and felt a little urge to help him with plastic surgery, but in the end he restrained it with his good cultivation.

"I have to tell my lord that I have to take my wife and children over. It is not difficult to defeat them, but it will take several years to manage them, right?" Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "In addition, lord must give me a few generals, and the money needs to be paid as usual..."

"Stop!" Pang Tong quickly stopped Liu Yi who was chattering: "This is just an intention. At least you have to wait until the lord is crowned king before you will be sent there. There is no need to worry. You can think slowly and then talk to your lord."

Liu Yi nodded: "Yes, after all, with your current status, you can't be my master."

As he said that, he looked at Pang Tong with some contempt. He was a marquis, but what about Pang Tong? He was just a military advisor.

"You..." Pang Tongbei Liu Yi was speechless. In fact, he really couldn't be Liu Yi's master.

"Okay." Cui Zhouping looked a little funny and interrupted at the right time: "Tomorrow you and the two of you will go to Xiangyang with your lord. Think about how to deal with Cao's army next."
