Liu Xian did not wait for Liu Yi to bring Liu Du to the front line and chose to surrender in Kaicheng, the mood of rebellion in the city was getting higher and higher, he was worried that if he couldn't wait for his father to be sent, he would be killed by these rioting soldiers, and there was indeed not much food and grass in the city, Xing Daorong had been around Liu Xian almost every day for the past two days.

Even if Liu Xian said that it was useless to surrender, in this case, Liu Xian could only choose to surrender in Kaicheng, 20,000 troops fought 7,000 men and horses, and in the end the battle was not fought much, but there were only less than 3,000 troops left around him, and there were always people thinking of taking their own heads to invite credit, this kind of pressure from himself, even more than the pressure brought by Liu Yi's army, when he decided to open the city to surrender, Liu Xian felt that his whole person seemed to be much more relaxed, as if a mountain pressed on his body was suddenly moved.

"Sin General Liu Xian, see General!" Looking at Liu Yi, who was a few years younger than himself in front of him, Liu Xian was a little emotional, and bowed to Liu Yi.

"Each is his master, it is not a crime, since the general is willing to surrender, then he will be an official of the same dynasty in the future." Liu Yi stretched out his hand to help Liu Xian, looked at Xing Daorong who was unconvinced, and said with a smile: "General Xing doesn't have to be polite, on the battlefield, courage is important, but for generals, courage alone is not enough." ”

"General Xie's teachings!" Xing Daorong snorted twice, and when he saw Liu Xian's eyes glaring at him, he reluctantly saluted Liu Yi.

"If the general has nothing else to do, then follow me to Quanling, my father should already be on the way, maybe I can meet him." Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Whoa!"

Liu Yi left Guan Ping and Liu Sandao to integrate the surrender army, and led Huang Zhong to Quanling to join Wei Yan, and met the troops escorting Liu Du on the way, recruited Liu Du to surrender, and then returned to Quanling with him.

It was also during the period when Liu Yi incorporated Liu Xian, the clan thief forces in the entire Lingling territory have been swept away by Wei Yan and Liu Feng, those soldiers who originally belonged to the sect thieves, there is no attachment, after learning the situation, although there are also people who make trouble, but it is basically stable, after Wei Yan and others successively killed several sect thief generals who wanted to gather people to make trouble, the remaining sect thieves and soldiers were all absorbed.

In this way, Liu Yi has more than 28,000 troops in his hands plus the troops brought from Changsha, although most of them are rabble, but this number is not small, Liu Bei after occupying Jiangling, and then restrained some Jingxiang soldiers and horses, and now there are only 40,000 in Nanjun, and Liu Yi walked around Jingnan, and the troops in his hands exceeded more than half of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei will not be afraid at all?

That is impossible, Liu Yi himself has no intention of supporting the army and self-respecting, after thinking about it, Liu Yi recruited Guan Ping and Liu Feng.

"Sir, are you looking for us?" Guan Ping and Liu Feng came to Liu Yi's residence, looked at Liu Yi and asked.

"Hmm." Liu Yi nodded, handed two general orders and a letter to Liu Fengdao: "Now that the three counties have been leveled, only one county of Guiyang remains, then since Zhao Fan did not take the opportunity to attack Changsha, he does not dare to be the enemy of our army now, but now these soldiers in our army, most of them are thieves and generals, and they have been stationed here for a long time, so it is inevitable that there will be chaos, and the two of you will each lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to Jiangling to hand over these soldiers and horses to the imperial uncle to deal with, and Liu Du, Liu Xian's father and son will also be handed over to the imperial uncle, please send someone to supervise the affairs of the four counties as soon as possible." ”

"Sir, then Guiyang ......" Liu Feng looked at Liu Yi worriedly.

"There are still 8,000 soldiers and horses here, so it's best if Zhao Fan understands things, if he doesn't understand, I will teach him to be a man, don't worry, when you go back to Jiangling, Guiyang County should have been taken." Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Whoa!" The two took the order and took the letter written by Liu Yi to Liu Bei before they said goodbye and left.

On the same day, the two people who got the general's order immediately ordered their troops to set off, and added some soldiers from Lingling and Changsha who had been under Liu Yi for some time to accompany the army to help stabilize order in the army. The 20,000-strong army left in a mighty manner, and the entire Lingling suddenly seemed to become empty.

"Sir." Wei Yan hurriedly came in, but saw Liu Yi fiddling with some wooden crafts on the table.

"What is this?" Wei Yan was also attracted by the objects on the table, but when he saw a waterwheel like Mocheng, there were strings in the middle of it, pulling the mechanisms one by one, it seemed to be a whole, but if he looked closely, it was different, quite complicated, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"A model of the Ink City II." Liu Yi groped his chin and looked at the model, now that he had enough money, he was ready to ask Liu Bei for some more, and with the power of Xiangshui, he would build a city in this southern Jingnan place.

The previous Mocheng, because of the funds, actually did not satisfy Liu Yi, now that he has taken refuge in Liu Bei, the prince, and now that he has the territory, it is time to consider building another city, he has already chosen the location, these days Huang Zhong helps him deal with military affairs, Liu Yi spends most of his time studying this.

And during this period of studying the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the situation of giving carvings to some kind of sacred beasts can often add a lot of attributes to buildings or items, Liu Yi was thinking during this time, if a Buddhist or Taoist statue comes out, will it also give special attributes to the city, and what will be the effect of getting his own statue? Or what effect will it have if the statue of the second brother is placed in the center of the city?

Anyway, there are a lot of ideas during this time, and now things are over, Liu Yi also made an application in his letter to Liu Bei, one is to take his own wife over to the hot kang, and the other is to build a city with political cohesion similar to Xiangyang and Jiangling in this Jingnan land, this scale is not comparable to a city like Mocheng, the budget is a lot, and the time is probably time-consuming, even if Liu Yi recruits craftsmen to build a city, it will take a year to calculate by thousands of people.

100,000 yuan a day, 100 million yuan a day, 30 million a year budget, of course, according to the method Liu Yi used when he was in Xiakou before, in fact, he can't use so much, but he also has to live a life, and there are some ideals of his own, Liu Bei definitely doesn't have enough money, and the city is built while recruiting people, and the operation also costs money.

"By the way, Wen Chang is in such a hurry, what's the matter?" Liu Yi looked at Wei Yandao.

"Zhao Fan sent a letter of surrender, hoping that Mr. can go to receive Guiyang as soon as possible." Wei Yan reacted at this time and said to Liu Yi.

"Surrender and surrender, why do you want me to go in person?" Liu Yi frowned.

"Then Zhao Fan didn't say it, he just said that he hoped to see our sincerity." Wei Yan shook his head, the ghost knew what Zhao Fan thought, looked at Liu Yi and said, "Sir, is there a fraud?" ”

"I don't know." Liu Yi shook his head, he is not Zhuge Liang, the ghost knows if there is a fraud, but since the people have surrendered, they can collect a county without fighting, Liu Yi doesn't want to fight, and said at the moment: "Inform General Hansheng, lead the troops over, let Sandao stay, give him 2,000 people, continue to guard Lingling, and wait for the Taishou sent by the emperor's uncle to come over and protect him." ”

The remnants of the thieves are still there, although it is not a big disaster, but it still needs to be guarded by the army, two thousand soldiers and horses, Liu Yi feels that it is enough, and there is no one available at hand now, otherwise Liu Sandao is like that, Liu Yi really doesn't worry about leaving him to guard the city.

"Whoa!" When Wei Yan heard this, he was immediately interested, immediately agreed, and turned his head to pass the order.

Liu Yi shook his head, what's the good thing about fighting? Looking back at the model, according to the theory, this model is perfect, but in fact, many problems have not been solved, such as the teleportation link of this model can be solved with silk threads, but in practice, what to use to transmit power, all rely on gears, not to mention, it is not easy to repair if it is broken, Mocheng did not set up more complex mechanisms because of this, should he also cultivate the skills of leather craftsmen and tailors?

In addition, can the transportation of water power drive all the equipment that needs power in a big city? Or is a watermill enough? This is only theoretically all the objects driven by a waterwheel, but the force will be consumed, and this is not the whole picture of the entire city, just a part, how many waterwheels are needed to build a semi-mechanized city in this era?

It's time to consider taking in a disciple.

Liu Yi sighed, construction is one thing, but the design before construction is actually more important than the construction itself, but the talent with this kind of calculation and design ability, is he willing to do it with him? To be a descendant of the Mo family or to be a craftsman?

Or make a few more models first, a bigger model, his carpentry and carving skills are about to reach level six, he hopes to wait until he is level six before starting to build the city, when the time comes, the attributes of the city built will be higher than that of Mocheng, this is the first real city he built instead of a walled city, the meaning is different, naturally it should be more perfect, this is also the reason why Liu Yi wants Lu Lingqi to come over, after it is completed, you can change to a new home.

A day's time passed in Liu Yi's continuous thinking and improvement, and the next morning, Wei Yan came to Liu Yi, and the soldiers, horses, grain and grass were ready, ready to go out at any time.

Liu Yi took Huang Zhong to sit in his carriage, and then signaled to set off, although this time he was going to surrender, but there is a sentence? If you are surrendered, you must be fully prepared, so as not to make any thoughts about Zhao Fan.

Wei Yan led the army to open the way in front, and constantly sent scouts to carefully investigate whether there were ambushes along the way, Liu Yi and Huang Zhong commanded the Chinese army, 6,000 troops, and entered the territory of Guiyang in a mighty way.

Maybe it was really Liu Yi who thought too much, until he arrived in Chenxian County, Guiyang, where he was officially surrendered, and took over the garrison in the city, and what he imagined might have happened did not happen, just looking at Zhao Fan's fat face, Liu Yi always felt that this fat man was uneasy and kind.
