The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and always replaces the new peach with the old charm.

Although there is no such thing as firecrackers in this year, there is still the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival, even if Liu Yi does not attach too much importance to this, he is more willing to spend time on the infrastructure around him, and after the first month, he began to officially start the construction of the Meridian Road, but Liu Bei obviously does not think so, or let Liu Yi come back from the construction site, and at the same time, the recruited craftsmen are also put back to their respective hometowns, and they will continue to work after the New Year's Festival.

Zhuge Liang's letter was also at this time that Liu Yi really saw it.

"So......" Liu Yi blinked his eyes, looked at Pang Tong and said, "We were wrong?" ”

"Not necessarily!" Pang Tong shook his head, looked at Liu Yi with a smile and said: "Kong Ming is just planning for the worst, in fact, you have always been similar to Kong Ming, this time you can offer a plan to attack Hanzhong first, but it is a little different from the past, although this matter has drawbacks, but it may not be unprofitable, our army and Sun Quan are still allies after all, then Sun Quan may not really tear the alliance, besides, Jingzhou is well garrisoned, don't worry, now the only one who is worried is Cao Cao'er." ”

There must be disadvantages to everything, how can there be a strategy for the best of both worlds, all that can be done is to make up for the disadvantages after making a choice, I didn't see Zhuge Liang Although he opposes this matter, but what he is doing now is all about things in Hanzhong?

First of all, he frequently sent people to Jiangdong to make peace with Jiangdong, and at the same time let Guan Yu garrison Danyang and coerce Xiangfan, but Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun stayed in Yueyang and Changsha.

Now the only thing I am worried about is whether the Hanzhong that I just ate can become the foundation of Liu Bei's attack on Shu, so Zhuge Liang's suggestion, while ensuring the stability of the rear, take Yizhou as soon as possible, as for how to take it, Zhuge Liang didn't say, there is Pang Tong here to give advice, and there are Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da as internal responses in Shuzhong, and Liu Bei himself, now has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and if he waives his troops into Shu, Jia Mengguan is also in his hands, which is equivalent to having opened the door to Shu, Anyway, Zhuge Liang couldn't think of any reason for Liu Bei's failure.

"Yes, how can Cao Cao deal with it?" Liu Yi nodded, looked at Pang Tong and asked, if Liu Bei attacks Yizhou next, it will definitely be to gather all his strength to fight, if Cao Cao comes to attack at this time, it will be difficult to defend if there are few soldiers on this side of Hanzhong.

"Hey, now the lord in the hands of Shuzhong and Hanzhong soldiers and horses, if you use the Shu army, when you use the soldiers, you are afraid of mutiny in the army, and to attack Shuzhong, there is no need for 100,000 troops, according to my intentions, the Hanzhong generals can be adjusted to follow the lord south to conquer Yizhou, and the soldiers and horses in Shu are used to defend Hanzhong, and then leave two generals in Boyuan, just hold a few checkpoints, and guard until the lord captures Yizhou, then the Cao army sees that it is unable to capture Hanzhong, and naturally retreats."

"Wait, me?" Liu Yi looked at Pang Tong with a stunned face, how could this be so good, how did it happen to him? Didn't you say that you just need to build?

"Unify with the lord to march south, Guan Ping, Liu Feng, Zhuo Ying and others will accompany the army, and the lord guild will leave the two generals Wei Yan and Huang Zhong to Bo Yuan for dispatch, plus 50,000 Shu troops, with Bo Yuan's ability, it should not be a problem to resist the enemy." Pang Tong nodded seriously, looked at Liu Yi and said, "If it weren't for Bo Yuan, there are not many people available to the lord now, please don't excuse yourself." ”

Among the generals who accompanied the army this time, there were also generals such as Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Guan Ping, Liu Feng, Zhuo Ying, and Huo Jun, in addition to Zhang Wei and Yang Ren who had just surrendered with Zhang Lu, but those who had the qualifications, identity and prestige for Liu Bei to sit in the rear were only Liu Yi and Pang Tong.

As for Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Guan Ping, and Liu Feng, either they are not qualified enough, or they lack prestige, so they can be regarded as people who are trusted by Liu Bei, which feels good.

Sighing slightly, Liu Yi nodded with a wry smile and said, "It's okay, just take this opportunity to clean up Hanzhong." ”

The first round of infrastructure construction in Hanzhong has been completed, and in addition to repairing the road, Liu Yi is going to add a few more checkpoints, first of all, the meridian road has to set up checkpoints, otherwise if he repairs the road, Cao Jun will have no place to reason when he comes in from here, and the roads in Shangyong and Fangling should also be repaired.

Seeing that Liu Yi agreed, Pang Tong smiled and handed another letter to Liu Yi.

"What is this?" Liu Yi looked at Pang Tong and said in surprise.

"Liu Zhang's letter is also the righteousness of our army's march into Shuzhong." Pang Tong smiled.

When Liu Yi heard this, he opened the letter and quickly looked at it, probably meaning that he would first congratulate Liu Bei on his capture of Hanzhong, but since he had captured Hanzhong, the soldiers and horses that had been given to Liu Bei before should also be returned.

This......

Liu Yi frowned, feeling that this Liu Zhang was doing something, now even if Liu Bei has no intention of seizing Yizhou, but Cao Cao has begun to deploy Hanzhong, but at this time he has to transfer back his soldiers and horses, isn't that Liu Bei roasted on the stove, as for Zhang Lu, it is even more impossible to send it to Liu Zhang, not to mention that when he surrendered, Zhang Lu made it clear that he would surrender Liu Bei, not Zhang Lu, and now whether it is nominal or practical, Zhang Lu is Liu Bei's courtier, Liu Zhang has no right to dispose of it, even if there is no such thing, Liu Bei must not send Zhang Lu back, otherwise who would dare to surrender Liu Bei in the future?

"What did the lord say?" Liu Yi put down the letter, looked at Pang Tong and asked.

"Naturally, the soldiers can't be returned, but this letter has been shown to Zhang Lu, and it is clear that he will definitely protect Zhang Lu, please don't worry about it." Pang Tong said with a smile.

"Amazing, in this way, why worry that this Hanzhong soldier doesn't have to die?" Liu Yi stroked his palms and smiled, it was obvious that he was winning people's hearts, but Zhang Lu couldn't help but be grateful, after all, Zhang Lu didn't have any ability to resist Liu Bei now, but Liu Bei still kept his promise, which was enough for Zhang Lu, who was in a weak position, to let him put aside everything and go all out to help Liu Bei.

It sounds simple, but if you can really do this, looking at the world, I'm afraid that Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan have this ability.

"That's right, but I don't know how Bo Yuan will stay in Hanzhong?" Pang Tong asked with a smile, still a little uneasy about Liu Yi.

"Each performs his own duties, I am not good at military strategy, Shi Yuan should know, Wei Yan continues to garrison Yangping Pass, Han Sheng sits in Shangyong, I continue to engage in construction, if I can, the lord had better give me another general, I will transfer Han Sheng back, responsible for training sergeants on weekdays, if the war is tight, then support the two places at any time, set up more beacon towers, when the enemy comes, burn a wolf smoke, if the war is tight, then burn two beacons, probably that's it, how to fight, or they have the final say." Liu Yi thought for a while.

Including leading troops in the past, generally Liu Yi will not directly manage the army, but let his generals take care of it, Liu Yi is responsible for some losses, and most of the time is responsible for logistics deployment.

"If it doesn't work, let's change people." Looking at Pang Tong, Liu Yi said with a smile, he is just such a three-board axe, if it is not enough, he has no choice.

"Enough!" Pang Tong nodded with a smile and said, "No wonder you were able to easily sweep the four counties of Jingnan at the beginning. ”

Although Liu Yi is above the military strategy and has limited ability, he is better than willing to delegate power, and he is also good at delegating power, and he can convince the generals under his command, and can meet these three points, Liu Yi is already qualified to become a qualified commander.

"The main thing is that they can give me peace of mind." Liu Yi said with a smile, if your subordinates are not Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Guan Ping, and Liu Feng who are capable generals, you can change a few Yang Bai to try Liu Yi, and the whole army will be wiped out in minutes.

To put it simply, if Liu Yi is equipped with a few capable generals, not to mention super gods, but Liu Yi can maximize the advantages of these people, but if there are no strong generals, marching formations, battlefield platoons, and everything has to be worried about Liu Yi, then I'm sorry, it's a miracle to be able to save my life.

It's a bit like a monarch, but it's different.

Pang Tong smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, "It's okay, you and I will go to the lord to discuss this matter later, and then leave you a general." ”

"My lord is busy right now?" Liu Yi said with some surprise.

"Well, during the New Year's Festival, there are a lot of people visiting, and the lord is busy socializing now." Pang Tong nodded helplessly, now Liu Bei is the new master of Hanzhong, although the strength of this Han sergeant is not as strong as that of the Central Plains and Jingzhou, but it also needs to be taken care of.

Liu Yi nodded, but he almost forgot about this stubble, this matter is not in a hurry, now there are only signs, if it is to send troops, I am afraid it will take some time, as long as Liu Bei sets out on the expedition, this matter will be finalized, he remembers that during this period of history, Cao Cao seems to have waved his troops to attack Eastern Wu once, why is there no news until now? It won't be yellow because of the Hanzhong incident, right?

The facts are similar to Liu Yi's conjecture, if there was no Liu Bei to capture Hanzhong, Zhang Lu asked for help, Cao Cao did intend to go south once, but Zhang Lu asked for help, and then Liu Bei quickly took Hanzhong, so that Cao Cao had a sense of crisis, and the original preparation for the southern expedition became today's western expedition, and Sun Quan's attitude was also quite ambiguous, although he did not take the initiative to attack, but in the face of Zhuge Liang's request to take advantage of the situation to attack the Jianghuai land, the letterhead was only verbally agreed, but there was no intention of sending troops.

Liu Yi, a little butterfly, seems to have begun to affect historical events.

Liu Yi himself doesn't know whether this change is good or bad, but the current situation in the world has been out of the direction he knows, this battle of Hanzhong, it seems that the future has changed, but for the decision to attack Hanzhong first, Liu Yi does not regret it, this Hanzhong statistics, a population of 570,000, which is more than the sum of the four counties of Jingnan, which is much richer than the original history, Liu Bei got Hanzhong, if he can take Yizhou, Liu Bei's overall strength can be close to Cao Cao, and Jiangdong will be thrown away, from this point of view, no wonder Sun Quan has such a mind now.
