Liu Yi really left when he said that. Early the next morning, Liu Yi ran to Xiangyang with the inexplicable excitement of the girl Huan, Guan Ping and five hundred guards. Deng Ai slept late last night. When he woke up, he had no Liu Yi's figure. He could only regretfully turn around and sleep again. During this period, he was really busy. It was not difficult to do farming, but it was difficult to do it well. It was rare to have a chance. He also wanted to learn to be like Liu Yi and be lazy. He felt that Zhuge Liang's path was not suitable for him.

It has been two years since Liu Yi and Li Kai. When he walked back along the Han River again, his feelings were different from the past.

It is said that I have no money now, but there is a constant flow of boat trips in the entire Jingxiang area, giving people a sense of prosperity. With the establishment of Jiangxia Water Village, the north and south waterways are more smooth than before. Even those tributary paths are also shuttled by ships.

Although I don't have money, at least I still look very active.

I hope that after the tax collection next year, Liu Bei can take out the money to let him go to Nanzhonglang. It is said that there is a copper mine there, and if it can be mined, it will be very interesting.

Nowadays, Nanyang is in a vast land and sparsely populated area. After staying there for a long time, when returning to the densely populated Nanjun, there is a sense of difference from returning to the modern era.

Of course, if you compare it with later generations, you naturally can't compare it.

Liu Yi doesn't want to go to Xiangyang, a city that can make the beasts boil blood, and it is not considered a bad attribute, but if he was so excited when he went to the battlefield, it would be quite dangerous.

"Speaking of this battle in Nanyang, we can't win. Xiangyang, which has a population of millions, finally became like this. Although the king is making people promote this matter to inspire people and inspire morale, in fact, this battle in Nanyang is simply based on the loss ratio between the two sides. In fact, we didn't win, and Cao Cao may not lose. At least after this battle, there are even fewer people in the court who dare to oppose Cao Cao."

When passing by Jiangling, Liu Yi went to visit Cui Zhouping. The two had not seen each other for two years. Liu Yi was going to enter Sichuan next time, but I don’t know when they saw each other again. Now that we are in the era of the old and new, many people will see each other less once. Of course, this does not include Cui Zhouping.

However, as the two talked, they also talked about the battle in Nanyang. After all, this was a battle that changed the entire world and was one of the few big victories in recent years. But in fact, it is really hard to make a conclusion who loses and who wins.

"After all, we made money." Liu Yi slapped his thigh and said, "No matter what Cao Cao got, it is always true that Nanyang lost. Our army has more large Nanyang. Nanyang's potential is here, and there will be a day of rise again. Moreover, the king can become king with this situation. From the overall perspective, after this battle, the Sun-Liu alliance will be closer. We have no loss and we have a small profit, that is, we win. No matter what Cao Cao got, Nanyang is lost, why isn't it considered a loss?"

"That's true." Cui Zhouping nodded. Liu Bei's power is not the strongest at the moment, but among the three major princes today, the most powerful one is.

On this point, since Cao Cao withdrew from Nanyang, he had been dispatched to Guanzhong three times in succession. Cao Cao now wants to kill Liu Bei's way out here, so that Liu Bei cannot leave Sichuan or that Liu Bei must not get the land of Guanzhong.

But even if Cao Cao has a strong momentum, he will not be able to cover up the sky with one hand. If this side is tight, then the supervision of Jiangdong will definitely be relaxed. If Jiangdong takes this opportunity to send troops to Qingxu, Cao Cao will inevitably be in a hurry.

But with Cao Cao's ability, how could he not see this?

What we are fighting for now is who can live longer. If Liu Bei dies first, the tone that has been accumulated here during this period will dissipate. If Cao Cao dies first, then Liu Bei will have a chance to send troops to Guanzhong. Taking advantage of the gap in Cao Wei's power to replace Guanzhong, he will first take advantage of the Liu family's power to rise and Cao Wei's power will further shrink. Then it may not be known who will have the final say in the world.

Cao Cao couldn't live too long, Liu Yi clearly said that Liu Bei... How long can he live without the bad things in history? No one knows, but now the future fortune here is closely related to Liu Bei. If he can take this opportunity to win Guanzhong, to say that he is so ruthless now, even if Liu Bei dies, and Hangu Pass is a seal, Cao Wei will recover. It is a luxury to attack him again. By then, ten years of cultivation and ten years of war, the prophecy of the Han Dynasty's revival may not be fulfilled.

At that time, the words that Liu Yi carved on the Red Dragon Cauldron will come true.

Cui Zhouping looked at Liu Yi and smiled and said, "From Bo Yuan, how long will the world last?"

"It depends on how long Cao Cao can live." Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "And how much Cao Cao can prepare for Cao Pi. At least with the current situation in Guanzhong, it is difficult for our army to have a chance to enter Guanzhong. If Cao Cao is dead and is not prepared for enough backup, or there will be turmoil within Cao Wei, that is when our army rises."

Cui Zhouping nodded. In this regard, the two of them had similar ideas. Over the years, Liu Bei rose step by step and quickly surpassed Dongwu, which had made Cao Wei gradually focus on Liu Bei.

"I hope Cao Cao can live a little longer." Cui Zhouping smiled and expressed his point of view: "The current conquest of the Three Kingdoms in the world has been long, and people are exhausted, and everyone is determined. Our army is expanding too rapidly and its foundation is not strong after all. If war starts again at this time, internal..."

Liu Bei’s problem now is that he has no territory, but that he has a large stall. Although Liu Bei’s territory is not large compared to Cao Cao, how many years has Cao Cao been in operation? How long has Liu Bei been in operation? And carefully calculated that in recent years, except for the beginning of serious operation in Jingzhou, Liu Bei did not have much time to operate in Shuzhong, Xiangfan and Nanyang.

The human heart is a very illusory thing, but when most people resist war, they rashly start the war. No matter how good this opportunity is, there are very few people who can win when even their own people resist war, especially once the battle in Guanzhong is fought, the scale can be comparable to the battle in Nanyang. It will last longer and the sky collapses and the earth breaks. In this case, the outcome is unpredictable.

So although Cui Zhouping did not explicitly say that Liu Yi's idea was not good, in fact, he refuted this view that whether Liu Bei or Cao Cao lived longer is indeed related to the fortunes of the two countries, but in the current people's hearts, no matter who died first, it would be better not to start a war in a short period of time. People's minds can no longer withstand such torture.

Cui Zhouping's view may not be wrong, but Liu Yi feels that the senior executives of Liu Bei, including Zhuge Liang, may support this battle. Not to mention the people's hearts, just talking about the situation, Liu Bei's current situation is the best. Whether he can trap the dragon and ascend to heaven depends on this battle.

"Get educated." Liu Yi smiled and nodded. This topic ended here. The decision-making power for such things was not in his hands. If Liu Bei was determined to fight this battle, neither Liu Yi nor Cui Zhouping could only support it with all his strength. It would be impossible to stumbling behind the scenes because it was different from what he thought.

In fact, Liu Yi was more inclined to fight this battle. Although Cao Pi didn't live long, Liu Bei might not have been able to waste Cao Pi. Even if he had already added the attribute of prolonging life to the Hanzhong Palace, the attribute was not omnipotent, otherwise so many people would not die in Nanyang this time.

"Is there another one to be born when I go home this time?" Cui Zhouping looked at Liu Yi and smiled.

"It depends on the situation." Liu Yi shook his head: "The inner man is now... after all, he is not young, and I am worried that her body can't bear it."

"Hey, then take some concubines." Cui Zhouping smiled casually, "With Bo Yuan's current status, it is okay to take concubines. I don't think that my younger brother and sister don't mind in this regard."

"Let's talk about it." Liu Yi shook his head. Everyone faced different situations, and their way of thinking about things was different. How could they generalize them?

"Hey, I'm not easy to deal with your family affairs, but I heard that your daughter is amazing." Cui Zhouping smiled.

"Oh?" Liu Yi asked subconsciously: "Who has that girl bullied? Is the other party safe?"

I have indeed not cared about my daughter enough in recent years. Anyway, when it comes to her daughter's performance in the academy, Liu Yi's first reaction is always okay, right? Such an idea.

Of course, if his daughter suffers a loss, Liu Yi will come to the door directly. Even if Liu Bei's son provokes his daughter, he will dare to argue with Liu Bei.

Cui Zhouping: "..."

"Not this." Shaking his head, Cui Zhouping was speechless about Liu Yi's reaction, and thought for a while and said, "Song of the classics, your daughter is quite powerful. The Analects of Confucius, Mencius was asked by Xu Shixuan and recited it again, and was rated as a bullshit. It was not until later that I found out that your daughter was reciting it backwards. Now Xu Shixuan is almost a joke in this area. Tomorrow, he is also known as a child prodigy."

Xu Shixuan, whose surname is Xu, whose name is Lin, and whose courtesy name is Shixuan, is well-known and has a good study of classics and is not considered a master, but he is also a celebrity in Jingxiang. He was slapped in the face by a little girl with talent and did not find it at that time, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.

Liu Yi was relieved when he heard this, shook his head and sighed, "I am a child, but I may not be good at it. I just hope this girl will not be satisfied with it, but this memory is with me, haha~"

"Oh?" Cui Zhouping raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Yi with a smile: "The Analects of Confucius, there is no need for Mencius. How about you memorizing your natural craftsmanship and things backwards?"

Liu Yi's proud laughter came to an abrupt end: "This is a learning of mathematics and memorization, and it doesn't make sense to memorize it. This is a very rigorous science."

"The Analects of Confucius Mencius..." Cui Zhouping asked.

"I am not those corrupt scholars who study hard, so what's the point of memorizing these things?"

"Then you recite it once..."

"I am not your disciple, why do you recite it to you? I won't say this. I don't know when I will see you again this time. Forget these things, how about getting drunk?"

"not good!"
