"Different locations, different insights, brainstorming, it is also good for your Highness. "In the end, he has been the governor of the metropolis and has seen the big storms, and in the face of Liu Yan's slander, Zhou Yu, who has done a good job in his heart, has a very low attitude.

"Huh?" I didn't expect Zhou Yu to be so humble, Liu Yan couldn't adapt for a while, looked at the person in front of her repeatedly, and finally saw the clue from his hair that leaked out of the lucky scarf.

The first time Liu Yan saw Zhou Yu was under Jiangling City, in the Jiangdong camp. Zhou Yu wore armor on his head, and his eyes were shining brightly.

When I was talking and laughing with her in the camp, the helmet was taken off, and the face was really like a crown of jade, and the hair color was like ink, I didn't care about it at the time, but now when I compare it with the person in front of me, I immediately show that the person in front of me is black.

Zhou Yu's health has not been very good, and he must have had a very hard time facing the loess with his back to the sky all these years.

Especially in the past two years, because of Sun Shao's concubine, the privilege is gone, and the connection between Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao before has faded a lot, Zhou Yu probably can't stand it, after all, he has to raise a big family, and the children have a way out, and Zhou Yu, as a farmer, can't give anything.

Do you want to let him go? Liu Yan sat in a few cases and looked at Zhou Yu who was bowing her head and holding her chest in front of her, and after a long time, she let out a sigh of relief: "You are right, it is necessary to brainstorm. If you had had this enlightenment back then, my brother's life would have been much better. ”

"The past does not forget the teacher of the future, Your Highness, you know best. Zhou Yu bowed to the end.

"You're like this, I'm so unaccustomed to it!" Liu Yan finally showed her face: "Come, come and sit here, and tell me what you plant in your field?"

The other party changed his name, but Zhou Yu didn't dare to relax in the slightest, just took a few steps forward, but didn't dare to sit.

Seeing that he was so restrained, Liu Yan had no temptation, straightened his clothes and sat up, and said solemnly: "Don't mention the past, you come to ask to see the palace, the palace will not slow you, the palace just has an errand to hand over to you, not impulsively, and not only the matter of Lujiang, from now on, you are the courtier of my Shu Kingdom, are you willing?"

"Villain, willingly. Zhou Yu paused for half a second and bowed his head.

"This palace wants to make the Hall of Advice a daily organization, and there is a lack of a principal, and the brainstorming you said has won my heart, and it is appropriate for you to be the director of this Hall of Advice. Liu Yan thought of Zhou Yu's location in a second.

Originally, the director of the Admonition Hall was Ma Jing, but he passed away two years ago, and Liu Yan has not found a suitable person to take over his class since then, resulting in the daily work of the Admonition Hall almost coming to a standstill.

If Zhou Yu can make achievements in this seemingly chicken institution, it means that he has really changed his past. If he just wants to come to retire, it is convenient to find a reason to dismiss him and send him to build roads.

Of course, Liu Yan hoped that the Admonition Hall would be effective, so she promised Zhou Yu many benefits. For example, he was appointed as a doctor, the land he planted before was given to him as a fief, his family moved to Chengdu, and his children were sent to the county school to be gilded.

Liu Yan believes that the reason why Zhou Yu has such a big change is that "forced to make a living" is the biggest reason.

At the regular meeting of the princess's mansion later, Liu Yan introduced the new Zhou Yu to the rest of the leadership team, and everyone welcomed her. Xu Shu Pang Tong and other "old acquaintances" are especially happy, no matter what kind of official Zhou Yu is now, a person like him can be used by Liu Yan, for Liu Yan, there are only benefits and no harms.

After all, there used to be one person below millions of people, as he himself said, "different positions, different views". Zhou Yu agreed with Liu Yan's choice to land from Qingzhou and attack Huanglong. Xu Shu and Pang Tong complained about the loss of personnel and money in the early stage, which was not too cheap in Zhou Yu's opinion.

You already have three naval bases in Hangzhou Bay, Jiaozhou and Yizhou, maritime activities are blind for others, daily cruising for you, pioneering is nine deaths for others, and for you may be the ratio of two deaths and eight lives, if you have too much loss, then don't think about dominating the world, and the losses in the land war will be even more heavy.

This argument won Liu Yan's heart, although there may be water in two deaths and eight lives, but it is certain that he has the advantage of experience, and it is also certain that more people died in land battles. With these two, landing in Qingzhou has become the cheapest route.

After deciding on this route, Zhou Yu began to pick up Liu Yan to prepare for the second attack on Lujiang.

As a result, Liu Yan refused: "Now is not the best time, I know you want to revive Jiangdong, but in my place, there is no Jiangdong anymore, only Xinyangzhou! Everything must be focused on the overall situation of Shu and obey the big plan for the development of Shu." ”

Hearing this, although Zhou Yu bowed his head in time to admit his mistake, saying that he would never forget the old love for a while and would not do it again in the future. But Liu Yan still sighed that the gap between people was so big.

Another person who compares with Zhou Yu is Ma Chao. Ma Chao bowed down to him in order to have a chance to take revenge. When Cao Cao went south for the second time, because of his greed, the Jingzhou cavalry was destroyed.

But Liu Yan didn't blame him, after all, at that point in time, Cao Cao was in front of him, and when he was within reach, he compared his heart to his heart, if it was her, Cao Ren was close at hand, what would she do?

What's more, Ma Chao was conscientious and conscientious, and he had been trying to recover the losses he had caused, so that when he was tired and sick, Liu Yan only had compassion and love for him.

But when Zhou Yu and Ma Chao compared, the gap immediately became apparent. Liu Yan does not deny that there are personal likes and dislikes in this, but Zhou Yu is really no one who can't be a person. The seat has not been firmly seated before the nature is exposed, how do you want to mix in the future?

Fortunately, today's Zhou Yu is no longer what it used to be, admitting mistakes or something, he came as soon as he opened his mouth. It is impossible for Liu Yan to really punish him on the line because of his attitude, so he will let him go if he misses it.

After a long time and mastering the measure, Zhou Yu was really within Liu Yan's "temper range", which made the Admonition Hall gradually prosper.

Not only that, but he also wrote Chengdu's "Admonition Hall Model" as a model to help Liu Yan promote it in various local governments in Shu. Of course, that's a lot later.

At present, Liu Yan is still very "regretful" and spits bitterness on Pang Tong: "How can Zhou Yu not change for more than ten years, only one tendon, it's really annoying! ”

"Your Highness, you are different. Pang Tong wanted to pat himself on the back, but he was afraid that he would make a mistake if it was complicated, so he picked a panacea.

"Senior brother, don't flatter me, I just can't see others being soft, especially like him, who once ...... Hey, don't talk about him, lest I regret it again!" Liu Yan pretended to be annoyed and said: "I came to you to ask about the news from Beibian'er, Cao Thief has died for the New Year, who is the new King of Wei over there? Is it Cao Pi? Do we need to write a document to express our friendship?"

"Forehead......" Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, he was a little unsure of the boss's routine. No matter who the new King of Wei is on the other side, the hostile relationship between Wei and Shu will not change, and friendship or something will not exist at all. I don't know what the boss means when he says that?

Fortunately, he was only stunned for a moment, and he didn't forget the question that should be answered: "My subordinates have been paying attention to this matter, but there is something strange, maybe it is not as peaceful and smooth as we guessed before, at least since the beginning of the year, there has been no news that Cao Pi is the king of Wei." ”

"That's why you haven't mentioned the other side of the matter at the regular meeting since the beginning of the year. I didn't say until today when I asked you. Liu Yan was stunned.

Pang Tong bowed his head: "The news is delayed, it is the fault of his subordinates, please surrender your highness." ”

"It's not that serious!" Liu Yan waved her hand: "I'm as curious as you and want to know what happened." As for the gesture of friendship, it is not a casual remark. We need time, and all the means that can delay it, when necessary, can be used. ”

"The subordinates understand. Pang Tong chuckled in his heart and had a bad premonition.

"And my imperial brother, when you talked about the Sima clan in Hanoi last time, judging from Sima Yi's means and energy, they supported Cao Pi and could never succumb to the prince. So I've been waiting, and if everything goes as expected, then I'll write a congratulatory private message myself. But if ...... Ay...... I'm afraid something will happen!"

"Your Highness means ......" Pang Tong was frightened by Liu Yan's voiceover and stood upright: "This is impossible......! ......."

"The human heart is the most difficult thing to guess, and we can only wait for the results to come out before we know what the process is. Liu Yan sighed: "I hope what this palace thinks is wrong." ”

Pang Tong lowered his head at this time, only to feel that his neck was so heavy that his back was about to bend.

"Please keep an eye on the news from the north, and don't let go of any trouble. Also, Hanzhong...... By the way, how is Ai'er?" Liu Yan suddenly asked Deng Ailai.

"The little general was ordered to explore the escape route of the rice thief, and he has already discovered something, and he is currently pursuing it. Pang Tong bowed.

"Well, let him continue to check, slowly, carefully, this palace is not in a hurry, let him not be in a hurry. Liu Yan smiled: "On this side of the mountain, there is no road. But on the other side of the mountain, people are waving their flags and shouting, begging us to hurry over!"

"What Your Highness said is that the rice thief is now in the north, and it is very beautiful, even more beautiful than when he was in Hanzhong before. It's just that Cao Thief never expected you to be so decisive and empty the entire Hanzhong, so that his bamboo basket was empty. ”

"Hey, if it weren't for that incident, Hanzhong would have been emptied a long time ago, where would it have waited until now. That's it, don't mention it, you can go back to work. Liu Yan picked up the tea bowl, and Pang Tong retired.

After Pang Tong left, Liu Yan's brows furrowed deeply, it was too late for the Hanzhong Tun soldiers, and at present, it could only be regarded as a shelf, if there was really a war, the current source of troops was not enough to plug the gaps.

If it were possible, she really hoped that the turmoil in the north would last for thirty or fifty years, but she knew better in her heart that it was impossible.

It can be as short as a few months, and the longest is less than a year, and the situation will definitely change again.

The reason why it is so certain is that it is the blessing of Tuo Pang Tong, it is that he told Liu Yan that behind Cao Pi stood the Hanoi Sima clan. And Hanoi Sima is the driving force behind the northern storage turmoil.

Pang Tong Xu Shu didn't dare to think about it, or the possibility that they had never thought of in their hearts was the source of Liu Yan's restlessness.

Since Cao Pi occupies the position of the eldest son, since Cao Zhi has been disliked by Cao Cao, and since Cao Ren and the Xiahou clan are not competitive, why has Cao Cao been dead for a long time, and there is still no news of the new King of Wei?

Liu Yan intuitively put the responsibility on the Sima clan in Hanoi, to paraphrase Pang Tong's words, the support of the family at this time is the winner and loser.

Cao Pi's position as the king of Wei is a certainty, and he can't run, and he can't be said to win. The victory of the Cao Pi group is really still on a higher level, what is the superstructure of the king? Liu Yan sneered, the so-called family, its heart is vicious.

However, these thoughts and inferences of hers can only be thought about in her own heart, and they are not enough to communicate with outsiders. Especially Pang Tong and Xu Shu, they are both diehard loyalists of the Han family, and this kind of heart-punishing theory cannot be mentioned to them.

So she was worried, she was anxious, but she couldn't hide it in her heart, she couldn't say it, she couldn't do it, she could only pray silently while waiting, hoping that the other side would not take this step and be the king of Wei in peace.

However, another voice in his heart is getting louder and louder, Cao Pi is going to be the emperor!

If he becomes emperor, what will I do? With the current military strength of Shu, especially the strength of cavalry, it is too weak, and it does not have the strength to start a civil war immediately, and I really don't want to be driven to the shelves at this time.

After three regular meetings in a row, Liu Yan had a straight face, frowning, concerned about Ma Chao's illness, concerned about the military construction of Hanzhong, concerned about the Sinicization process of Nanban, and cared about the source of soldiers.

Pang Tong and Xu Shu were "taken care of" in a row, and they were asking about them. Pang Tong knew in his heart that the boss was now racing against time, and he couldn't wait for three or five years for her to squander.

But Xu Shu would be mistaken, thinking that she was bringing up the old matter again, and thinking about launching the second battle of Lujiang. This is not good! The position of the king of Wei in the north has not yet been concluded, and we can only act now as if nothing has happened, and we should develop in peace and stability, and we should be stationed in a down-to-earth manner, and we should build roads and roads, what we did before, and what we still do now.

Isn't it just that you can have space to recuperate during the period in the future? Isn't it true that you can use all the methods that can delay time?

Now that you have everything in mind, you should unswervingly carry it out. A mere defeat in a battle makes you haunt you, how can this work?

As time goes by, this kind of brain supplement becomes more and more complete, more and more "real", and it is so real that Xu Shu has trouble sleeping.

To put it bluntly, he has never stopped worrying about Liu Yan for a moment, when he was fighting, he was worried that she would make a faint move and be in danger if she was not in the right eye, and he was worried that she would live a peaceful life for too long, and she would not be idle, and she would have to do something. In short, I'm worried about her all the time.

Worried, one day after the third regular meeting, he finally couldn't help but take a stack of analysis reports and ask to see Liu Yan.
