Luoyang has been deploying defenses during this period. Not only did the news from the court, Guan Ping himself also had a simple intelligence system, responsible for spying on the movements of the surrounding areas. Xu Huang gathered troops in the Hanoi area with such a big fanfare, and the fool could see clearly.

When Liu Yi came over, Guan Ping had just returned from Chenggao.

"Sikong, are you here to stay in Luoyang this time?" Guan Ping looked at Liu Yi with some surprise. If it were someone else, even if Zhuge Liang came, he would not be so happy. It was the same when he was weak before. After he really grew up, he would have his own fighting style and would feel bound by others.

But Liu Yi is different. He usually only provides strategies. He basically lets the soldiers under the tent play freely, and can also let you worry-free.

"No." Liu Yi shook his head: "This spring farming is approaching, and a large number of civilians are going to farm. I will select a thousand excellent craftsmen to hire and continue to build Luoyang. As for the matter of Cao's army, you are fully responsible and will not send another commander to come."

"This..." Guan Ping smiled bitterly: "Sikong, the opponent is Xu Huang."

Xu Huang is a famous general of his father. His ability to command troops is not inferior to his father. If Guan Yu can say such words, Xu Huang's ability is not something that ordinary people can deal with.

"He is old." Liu Yi looked at Guan Ping lightly and said, "You don't have to underestimate yourself. You are not much worse than the general now. On the contrary, you have a problem with your mentality. Xu Huang is a famous general, but there is no need to imitate him. With him, he is not qualified to make my future general afraid, right?"

Speaking of the last sentence, although Liu Yi's tone was plain, Guan Ping felt a sense of oppression. He took a deep breath and Guan Ping bowed and said, "What Sikong taught me is the most important lesson, I will remember it in my heart."

"I have strengthened the defense of Hulao Pass once. What are the requirements for coming here? You can say that if there is not, you will have to go back the day after tomorrow." Liu Yi helped Guan Ping up and said.

"So fast?" Guan Ping said in surprise.

"Well, the track laying of Xiliang must be smooth before the two cities are completed. In addition, I also want to touch the situation of the Huns." Liu Yi nodded. The new army of Lanchi was 20,000. At first, Liu Yi didn't know about it. It was only after he decided to take the position of governor of Liangzhou that he realized that Zhuge Villageman had assigned him so many people, and it was obvious that he was going to fight. What else could he say?

Since he had a serious matter, Guan Ping, who knew Liu Yi's personality, stopped talking. After bowing, he thought carefully and said: "The last general of Hulao Pass defense has been checked several times, which is enough to resist the 100,000 powerful troops. Sikong should not worry."

"In this way, I feel at ease. Tanzhi has been working hard all these days, so let's go and rest first." Liu Yi waved to Guan Ping, and he was tired from running around the road.

In the next two days, Guan Ping did not leave Luoyang again, but helped Liu Yi let go of the employed workers who had to farm at home and select the voluntarily stayed. In fact, there were not many employees in Luoyang. The total number of employees in Luoyang was about 14,000, but some were responsible for the laying of tracks. Now they are preparing to connect with the Chang'an work team in Huayin. As long as the supply line from Guanzhong to Luoyang is completed, they no longer need so much labor. According to Liu Yi's prediction, the next step is to work fine, with thousands of people in Chang'an and Luoyang, and then hire at master-level expenses. It is definitely slow. But in terms of time, as long as the city wall is built, the rest can be taken slowly.

At noon on the third day, the matter in Luoyang was explained, and Liu Yi embarked on the way home under the escort of Guan Yu and others. Before that, he had ordered people to start to dismiss the employers in batches to farm. Last year, due to the war, Guanzhong had insufficient income. In one winter, it was basically supported by the grain transported from Shuzhong and Jingzhou. This year's farming must not be delayed. Several major tracks have been laid. At least the transportation line from Shuzhong to Guanzhong is fine.

Liu Yi was mainly responsible for the laying of wooden tracks in Xiliang. The area of ​​Xiliang is much larger than that of Guanzhong. It has a large area and sparse population, but the main wooden tracks to be laid are actually more.

Although this place is desolate, it will be the main business road on the Silk Road in the future. The population may not be large, but the track routes cannot be missing. It may even extend to the Western Regions, Hetao and even the grasslands in the future.

The most important thing is the manpower problem. He cannot mobilize too many manpower from Guanzhong, so many times, the problem of laying the tracks has to fall on the shoulders of the army.

In short, after Liu Yi's rest during this period of time due to Liu Bei's death, he would have to work hard and be busy with this matter in the next two to three years. This would have to be without the damn war. If there was a war, the time limit would be pushed back, and it would not be a matter of one or two years. It also involves the issue of funds. After all, a war may not be fought for too long, especially with nomadic peoples, but the expenses are quite large and it is not necessarily something you can earn back.

Liu Yi's various plans must be supported by strong financial resources, otherwise he will not be able to move at all.

In Chang'an, Liu Yi stayed for two more days, and after he assigned the matter, he said goodbye to Liu Chan.

"Sikong worked hard and worked hard for my Han Dynasty. I regret it. It would be better to leave these things to others. Why should Sikong go in person?" Liu Chan reluctantly held Liu Yi's hand in his hall.

"Your Majesty, if the reconstruction of Xiliang can be successful, Xiliang will not only not become a future for our Han Dynasty, but can even provide us with financial and material support for our Han Dynasty. It is really hard for others to do this!" Liu Yi bowed to Liu Chan and said, "Thank you for your understanding."

"Since that's the case..." Liu Chan nodded to the little yellow gate beside him, and the little yellow gate cleverly brought a silver plate.

"This is my tiger talisman. Although Sikong does not hold military power, if necessary, he can control the troops and horses of various Xiliang troops!" Liu Chan said solemnly.

"I... thank you for your trust. I will use this thing with caution." Liu Yi bowed to Liu Chan again and said.

After saying goodbye to Liu Chan, Liu Yi came to Lu Lingqi. Looking at the face of the chess piece, Liu Yi felt a sense of reluctance in his heart, and came to her and whispered: "If there is something to do at home, I can write to me, and I will rush back as soon as possible."

"Husband, don't think about me." Lu Lingqi smiled and shook her head: "I have discussed the matter with the Empress Dowager. When the matter is over, the Empress Dowager will personally talk to the general."
