"I'm going? I don't have time. Yuxiang, looking at Jian Yong, who came uninvited, Liu Yi handed over Lu Lingqi, who had a big belly, to Deng and Xiaohuan, and frowned: "The cheap is about to give birth, at this time, you asked me to take over Jiangxia?" ”

"It's not me, it's the lord." Jian Yong reluctantly emphasized, how could he be qualified to order Liu Yi to do things.

"Isn't that different? They all tell me to do things, how can I have time? Liu Yi waved his hand, if he didn't go, it was useless to sleep, besides, Sun Quan had promised to return Jiangxia, and Zhao Yun had occupied Xiakou, just send someone over casually, why do you have to go by yourself: "Why don't you let Cui Zhouping go?" He's idle. ”

"This ......" Jian Yong smiled bitterly: "The intention of the lord is to hope that Bo Yuan will take over as the Taishou of Jiangxia, and it is best to build a few walled cities in Jiangxia to guard against Jiangdong." ”

Although Sun Quan bowed his head this time, everyone knew that the Liangzi of the two families was completely concluded, and from then on, Jiangdong had to guard against it.

"Who will guard Jiangxia?" Hearing this, Liu Yi frowned.

"Wen Ping, General Wen Zhongye." Jian Yong replied.

If you fight with Jiangdong, the navy is a must, and if Jiangdong needs support, it also needs a navy.

"I'll write a letter to the lord later, it's no problem to build the city, but if it's too guarded, I suggest that it's better to be served by Brother Zhou Ping, and Mr. Xianhe will help me bring it back." Liu Yi didn't really refuse, but just thought about it.

He has been in Jiangxia for a while, and he has a bottom on how to build Jiangxia's defensive line, but Jiangxia is too guarded to be exempt, anyway, most of him is also looking for a reliable county to help take care of it, Cui Zhouping can't, people are going to be out of office now, and then a county will be a little underestimated, it is better to directly hand over the position of Taishou to Cui Zhouping, Liu Yi is in charge of the construction of the problem is better.

Jian Yong was a little speechless, although there was no shortage of hermits and masters who were not harmonious and famous in this era, but he had always refused the right in the officialdom, and he had seen such a person in his life.

"I will bring the letter, but the matter of handing over Jiangxia ......" Jian Yong looked at Liu Yi with a wry smile, although this is a foregone conclusion, it is also a big deal no matter how you say it, Liu Bei appointed Liu Yi to be in charge of this matter, Liu Yi really doesn't care about it.

"Husband, it doesn't matter if the concubine is a concubine, the doctor said that there are still two months, and the husband should not think of the concubine as a concubine." Lu Lingqi, who hadn't gone far yet, looked back and smiled.

"Okay." Liu Yi nodded helplessly, since he had eaten other people's food, he had to help others: "Transfer that Zhao Xu to me, it's quite easy to use." ”

At least in the fight against Jiangdong this time, Zhao Xu did a good job, and managed Yueyang in an orderly manner, after all, he took the position of Taishou from others, and later transferred Wei Yue over and grabbed the position of Zhao Xu's brother-in-law, Zhao Xu was also quite cooperative, and did not complain, now that the war is over, since he is also a talent, if he can mention it, will he see each other in the future.

"It's not difficult." Jian Yong said with a smile, Zhao Xu was already on the list of rewards this time, and now that Liu Yi has the heart to promote, he might as well give Liu Yi a favor.

The business was finalized, and Liu Yi left Jian Yong at home for a meal before sending Jian Yong away.

Alas~

Seeing Jian Yong leave, Liu Yi sighed, Liu Bei is obviously ready to settle down this time to lay a solid foundation, calculate the project to be done this time, Jiangxia needs to build a few water villages, Xiangyang in Nanjun is almost rebuilt, Jiangling has also burned a large number of houses, the public security is a little better, there are a lot of things, the battle is over, everyone else is relaxed, but Liu Yi's busyness has just begun, Wen Ping also dragged himself to help him build a few large camps that can train sailors, Liu Yi himself also wants to build a pontoon bridge between the two cities of Xiangfan to connect the two cities, In the future, even if Cao Cao waved his troops south, with this pontoon bridge, he would not have to be broken by Guan Yu like Li Dian and Cao Ren before.

"Uncle Huang attaches so much importance to Mr., why does Mr. sigh?" Deng came to Liu Yi's side and asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid of being exhausted!" Liu Yi shook his head, turned his head to look at the Deng clan and said, "By the way, Ai'er has made a lot of meritorious contributions this time. Both, when it will be reused, will the sister-in-law go back with it? ”

It was nothing before, but now that Deng Ai is about to become a leader, Deng will continue to stay in Liu Yi's house to be a housekeeper for Liu Yi, which will have some impact on Deng Ai, no matter how high Liu Yi's status is now, but if Deng really continues to stay here, in the eyes of others, Deng Ai is a subordinate son, which is not a good thing for Deng Ai.

After Deng Shi was silent for a moment, he sighed, nodded and said, "Over the years, thanks to the care of Mr., Mr. has been kind to my mother and son, and the concubine is willing to repay me in the next life." ”

Although there is reluctance, the Deng family also knows that it is indeed time for them to leave, let alone a subordinate, even if she is Liu Yi's concubine, it will also have an impact on Deng Ai.

"Sister-in-law is serious." Liu Yi waved his hand and said: "If there is no sister-in-law to take care of you all these years, the family will be a mess, and if it weren't for Ai'er coming in time this time, it is still unknown what the situation is now. ”

Deng Ai will definitely be an upstart under Liu Bei in the future, there is no doubt about this, whether it is ability or the connections established now, Deng Ai's gradual rise is only a matter of time.

Hearing this, Deng reluctantly smiled and said, "If Mr. has this heart, the concubine is naturally willing." ”

Seeing Deng's reluctance, Liu Yi sighed in his heart, he couldn't bear to get along for so many years, almost all the big and small things in the family have been handled by Deng over the years, Liu Yi has always regarded Deng as his own family, but there is no way, sometimes you have to care about the world's vision, and there are a few people in the world who can really be free and easy to ignore the world at all, he has something to ask for in this world, and he can't help but accept some things imposed by the world.

Even if Liu Yi doesn't care, can Deng not care? Deng Ai can not care?

After saying goodbye to the Deng family, Liu Yi was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, and the feeling of parting made people a little uncomfortable.

Early the next morning, Liu Yi said goodbye to his family, took Liu Sandao and several guards on the ship to Jiangxia, this trip also took Lu Meng, Gan Ning's sailors have returned, Lu Meng will take over Jiangxia when he returns, but Liu Yi did not go directly to Xiling, but went to Xiakou first, and went with Zhao Yun after meeting Zhao Yun.

After all, Jiangxia is still Sun Quan's territory, and with only Liu Sandao by his side, Liu Yi doesn't feel too safe.

The light boat was floating on the lake, and Liu Yi was not in a hurry, so the boat was not happy.

It was the middle of winter, the coldest time, even here, standing on the boat, looking around, it was also a sense of loneliness, Liu Yi was a little bored leaning on the side of the boat, the carving knife in his hand carved a bird at will, and honed his skills when he had nothing to do, which has become a habit he has developed over the years, but now he has money, from the wood carving in the past, to the glass or jade or something in the present.

Lu Meng walked out of the cabin, and now that he had reached an agreement with Jiang Dong, there was no need to treat him like a prisoner anymore, but when Lu Meng appeared on the deck, Liu Sandao still subconsciously pressed his sword with one hand and looked at him vigilantly.

"Are you really going to let me go?" Lu Meng ignored Liu Sandao, walked straight to Liu Yi's side, looked at the lake scenery, and frowned.

"You and I are allies after all, and now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, they are still allies." Liu Yi looked at the bird in his hand, and didn't look back, just smiled.

"Alliance?" Lu Meng looked at Liu Yi with complicated eyes, frowned, and said, "You killed my Jiangdong general and took my territory, so it can still be considered an alliance?" ”

"Why not?" Liu Yi asked rhetorically: "There is no personal enmity between these princes, and if you can't see this clearly, I'm afraid that the lord won't even have the qualifications to be an enemy." ”

Today's situation is still Cao Cao is strong, Sun Liu is weak, as long as the overall situation has not changed, the Sun Liu alliance is a necessary thing, of course, if one day, the situation is reversed, Liu Bei's power is stronger than Cao Cao, then even if the personal relationship between the two sides is good, this alliance should be broken or broken.

Lu Meng clenched his fists, but finally sighed, looked at Liu Yi and said, "Sir, aren't you afraid that our army will unite with Cao's army?" ”

"Even if it is united, now you can only shout for Cao Cao." Liu Yi said with a smile: "In three or five years, when you have recovered, Jingzhou will be stronger at that time." ”

Liu Yi has this self-confidence, with his own presence, Jingzhou cannot be weak, three or five years later, not to mention Jingbei, the population of Jingnan may exceed one million, if you wait for another ten or twenty years, let Liu Bei cultivate with peace of mind, maybe by then, the population of Jingzhou and Shu can exceed 10 million, the population base is more, and there are no talents?

What Liu Yi wants to do most now is to form a virtuous circle between Jingzhou and Shu, even if there is a war, the comprehensive strength of Jingshu and Shu can still be steadily improved, if Liu Bei can live for another thirty years, maybe there is a real chance to see the day when he will dominate the world.

"Mr.'s self-confidence, I don't know where it comes from, if I have another chance, I will ask Mr. for advice, and I will be ashamed today!" Lu Meng snorted, this time it was really embarrassing, the dignified governor of Jiangdong was captured alive by Liu Yi in front of the three armies, and it was not even a single one, when he thought of this, Lu Meng was ashamed and indignant, and he was still thinking about how to explain this matter to Sun Quan after he went back.

Liu Yi glanced at Lu Meng's somewhat pale face, shook his head and said, "Ziming can live until then." ”

During this time, he can basically be sure that Lu Meng is sick, tuberculosis and something like that, whether he can have a chance to see each other again, is really unknown.

"Hmph, Mr. will be so quick to speak?" Lu Meng said unhappily.

Believe it or not!

Liu Yi didn't bother to pay attention to him, just lay on the recliner, bask in the sun more in winter, and replenish calcium!
