After the first month, Liu Bei led the soldiers and horses to quietly enter the Jiameng Pass and began to prepare for the next battle of Shu.

"Bo Yuan, are you too careful?" Before leaving, Pang Tong looked at the heart guards that Liu Yi stuffed for him, and said with some tears and laughter: "I am a strategist with the army, and I am not a general who charges into battle, what is the use of you giving me heart guards?" ”

Not to mention the heart guard, when Liu Bei decided to secretly transfer the soldiers and horses to Jiameng Pass, Pang Tong's clothes, shoes and even the scribe crown on his head were changed by Liu Yi, of course, these clothes were naturally not made by Liu Yi himself, but hired someone to help Pang Tong do it, not only comfortable to wear, but most importantly, to have a certain degree of defense and toughness, this time Liu Yi was too guarded by Hanzhong and would not go out with the army, he naturally did not want Pang Tong to die on the battlefield inexplicably like in history or romance.

In order to avoid the plot in the romance, Liu Yi also specially moved some hands and feet on Lu, until now, Lu is still lying half-dead in the stable, it is impossible to go on the expedition, maybe he is insulated from the battlefield in this life, riding a white horse to the battlefield, without Zhao Yun's ability, then life and death really depend on the will of God.

"You think I want to?" Liu Yi sighed, looked at Pang Tong solemnly and said: "I see that your Yintang is black, this trip to Shu has a bloody disaster, there are no eyes on the battlefield, the lord is a person with great luck, and he has been on the battlefield for a long time, I am not worried, but you look like this, most of your luck is not good, and the great cause of the lord will depend on you in the future, I really don't want you to die on the battlefield like this, these things are carried, I hope to save your life." ”

What to say to someone, a person like Pang Tong, going straight is the best way to communicate, and it's best not to say directly I'm good to you, so that everyone will be tired of it, so that it can also dispel some embarrassment, after all, do these things for an ugly man, I don't know, I still think Liu Yi has any special habits.

Liu Bei, who was arranging for someone to take care of him, shrugged his shoulders abnormally a few times, and then walked away casually, Pang Tong was still a little moved in his heart, but as soon as Liu Yi said this, the emotion disappeared, turned over and got on the horse, looked at Liu Yi, and said with a smile: "Give you a word...... Get lost! ”

Good intentions are not rewarded!

Looking at the back of Pang Tong leaving, Liu Yi shook his head and sighed, hoping that these things he gave Pang Tong could reverse the luck of this declining person, there are not many talents under Liu Bei's hands, this kind of top talent, one less to die, and winning Yizhou is the pinnacle of Liu Bei's career, but Liu Yi doesn't want this peak to be like a meteor, only a moment of brilliance.

If Pang Tong didn't die, maybe there would be no need for Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun to enter Shu, and if Zhuge Liang was in Jingzhou, maybe the tragedy of carelessly losing Jingzhou would not have been staged.

The army is driving along the post road in the direction of Jiameng Pass, Hanzhong is now implementing a retreat policy, before everything is stabilized, whether it is to Shuzhong or to Guanzhong, the road and checkpoint have been blocked, in order to ensure that all news about Hanzhong is blocked to the greatest extent.

According to the usual practice, Liu Yi still asked Liu Bei for a deputy, in the past, Zhang Lu commanded Yan Pu, and now as a county minister, assisting Liu Yi to deal with some trivial matters, in addition, Liu Feng was also left to guard Shangyong, Huang Zhong stayed in Nanzheng, responsible for training soldiers and horses, and at the same time galloping to help the two places at any time.

And Liu Yi, continue to open the road, Cao Cao's army has not yet come, Liu Yi does not want to waste any time, the difficulty of the road in the Meridian Valley is much more difficult than the road in Jiameng Pass before, everywhere there is a need to build plank roads or bridges, this time Liu Yi mobilized thousands of people to build plank roads, build bridges, Liu Yi divided this road into five sections to do, every day to run back and forth in the rugged mountain road, supervise the progress of the project.

Now that Liu Bei has entrusted Hanzhong with full authority to manage himself, he naturally can't just pay attention to the progress of road construction, so Liu Yi asked Huang Zhong to send thousands of sentinels and scouts to infiltrate Guanzhong and Nanyang to infiltrate Guanzhong and Nanyang to find out the news, but there is a stir, Liu Yi can know in the shortest possible time and quickly rush back to Nanzheng to preside over the overall situation.

"General Hansheng, this ......" has only been in office for less than half a month, and his new identity has not yet fully adapted, but his top boss picked his son and ran to the deep mountains and old forests to build roads, which made Yan Pu quite speechless, looking at the charter left by Liu Yi, and then at Huang Zhong who was reading a book on the side, he couldn't help but want to complain: "I heard that the prince of the mansion also served as the chief guard of the two counties in the past, so Yueyang and Changsha were quite prosperous under their governance, and the monarch of the mansion was like this at that time?" ”

"Of course not." Huang Zhong shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and said with a bit of reminiscence: "I don't know that it has been two years since I left Jingzhou. ”

Just say it.

Yan Pu nodded, it seems that Liu Yi saw that the lord was not lazy.

"At that time, Mr. handed over the affairs of the two counties to the two counties, and he basically did not accompany his wife and children at home, or occasionally went to supervise the construction of Yueyang City, and the old man was also quite envious of that life." Huang Zhong recalled the rumors about Liu Yi in Jingzhou at that time, and couldn't help but feel a little envious, this person is old, although he also has the heart to make contributions, but he also longs for Liu Yi's life.

Yan Pu: "......"

He felt as if he was listening to a joke, how did such a person manage the two counties in an orderly manner?

Huang Zhong is on the same level as him, and he is not Liu Bei's henchman, Yan Pu is not very taboo at this moment, and asked directly: "Pu Ziqian has also seen some of the world, and I have never heard of someone managing the government like this, those two county officials can supervise the affairs of the two counties in an orderly manner, which is enough to serve as the Taishou, why let the prince concurrently serve as the Taishou of the two counties?" ”

"Mr. Cui is a famous man in Qinghe, I heard that he doesn't want to be a magistrate, and he is just helping Mr. Boyuan." Huang Zhong groped his beard and said: "That Ma Tan is Mr. to ask the lord for it, I heard that he is quite capable, and Mr. is full of praise for it, and there is another point, Mr. will never be greedy for the merits of his subordinates, and the person who can be selected by Mr. is generally quite capable, Zimao can be selected by Mr. as Mr. Cheng to deal with county affairs, and he is also very human." ”

Yan Pu was still a little speechless, but for some reason, when Huang Zhong said this, he felt a little complacent in his heart.

Shaking his head and shaking off these messy thoughts, Yan Pu sighed, it seems that it is already customary for this prince to govern like this, just do it yourself, besides, without his advice, he can be more relaxed.

Of course, the military power, financial power and the appointment and dismissal rights of officials at all levels in Hanzhong are still in the hands of Liu Yi, and Yan Pu administers on behalf of Liu Yi, but after all, unlike Cui Zhouping and Ma Yan, as a subordinate, Liu Yi cannot delegate all the rights to Yan Pu in one go, these three important rights, Liu Yi is in his hands, Yan Pu's actual power is not large, but it is enough to maintain the normal operation of the county government.

Liu Yi's indifference in rights is not a secret under Liu Bei, but it is precisely because of this that Liu Bei is more willing to use Liu Yi.

Of course, it is also Liu Yi himself who has a certain ability, which will be helpful to Liu Bei's great cause, otherwise, if he is an ordinary person, even if he has the same heart as Liu Yi, he will not have this opportunity, and Liu Yi is just not greedy for power, not a salted fish without pursuit, just look at Liu Yi's contribution after joining Liu Bei's command, it is not a lot at all, such a talent who has his own pursuit, but does not admire power, I am afraid that any Ming Jun is very welcome.

Huang Zhong sat for a while, a little boring, then said goodbye to Yan Pu, handed over the affairs of the general to the deputy general, and took his own guards to find Liu Yi in the Meridian Valley, Liu Yi in order to be able to receive the news in time, specially formulated a set of strategies to deliver the news, to ensure that once an accident occurs, Liu Yi can receive the information in the shortest possible time, although the Meridian Valley Road is difficult to walk, but it is not difficult to find Liu Yi.

On a dangerous cliff, two thick chains are connected on two cliffs, a craftsman with a chain is trying to work in the air with this chain, a wide arch bridge, gradually formed in the hands of these suspended craftsmen, when Huang Zhong came to the cliff, he could still see the iron frame and masonry that were not completely covered by cement.

"Why is Hansheng here?" Liu Yi carefully redid the data of the arch bridge, and after making sure that it was correct, he turned his head to look at Huang Zhong and said curiously.

"Then Yan Zimao complained that Mr. didn't ask about business, and the last general was a little upset when he heard it, so he came to Mr. to see if there was anything he needed help with?" Huang Zhong said with a smile.

"Is there any movement in Guanzhong?" Liu Yi asked.

"It's strange to say, almost all the counties we sent to Guanzhong have sentinels to listen to the news, but we have not received any intention from Cao Jun to transfer troops on a large scale." Huang Zhong shook his head, it stands to reason that Cao Cao could not let Liu Bei go to seize Yizhou and be indifferent, but now there is no rumor, which makes Huang Zhong very puzzled.

"If you are the enemy's commander-in-chief, where will you choose to attack Hanzhong?" Liu Yi looked at Hanzhong Dao.

"Walk Chencang into the sloping valley or go into the Kei valley." Huang Zhong thought for a while and said, if you use troops on a large scale, there are only these two ways to go: "Or send troops from Nanyang to attack Shangyong." ”

Liu Yi nodded, these places are also the main defensive places in Hanzhong, it is difficult for the Cao army to attack it, but now that the Cao army is not moving, although Liu Yi does not know what the other party's idea is, there must be other calculations.

"Or maybe you want to go to this Meridian Valley." Liu Yi groped his chin and said.

"It's not easy." Huang Zhong shook his head and smiled.

"The more this is the case, the more careful you have to be." Liu Yi said: "I'm going to set up three checkpoints in this Meridian Valley, each of which will set up a tun to a song, Han Sheng came just right, help me see where to set up a checkpoint?" ”

Huang Zhong looked at Liu Yi when he heard this: "Mr. really thought that Cao Jun would come here?" ”

"The soldiers have Zhengqi, the so-called Qi is the blind spot that the enemy can't think of, Han Shengshan defeats the enemy with Zheng, but if you change to Wen Chang, I'm afraid the first thing that comes to mind is here!" Liu Yi said with a smile.

It's really possible.

Thinking about Wei Yan's style, Huang Zhong nodded approvingly.
