Xiakou.

In the distance, the soldiers guarding the city saw a group of men and horses slowly coming this way, and the eye-catching ink banner could clearly identify the other party's flag from afar, and someone immediately returned to the city and reported the matter to Liu Bei.

"It seems that Bo Yuan has arrived." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and smiled at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei nodded, got up and said, "Sure enough, as Kong Ming expected, how about we welcome him in person?" ”

"Brother!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were a little dissatisfied, Zhang Fei stood up directly, frowned, and said, "It's just a craftsman, why do you need my brother to greet him personally?" ”

Zhuge Liang used to forget it, after all, Zhuge Liang has real talent and learning, but now there is another Liu Yi, which makes Guan Yu and Zhang Fei unhappy, especially knowing that Liu Yi married the daughter of Na Lu Bu, and his brother also went to Mocheng to worship Na Lu Bu, which made Zhang Fei even more unhappy, everyone knows that he and Na Lu Bu are rivals, if it weren't for Lu Bu back then, how could Xuzhou be lost? Why let them all send people under the fence until now?

"Yide!" Liu Bei frowned slightly, and glared at Zhang Fei: "Bo Yuan's ability, you have also seen it." ”

"That's a craftsman, too." Zhang Fei snorted.

"Then for your brother to weave mats and sell shoes for a living in the past, do you also look down on your brother?" Liu Bei was a little angry and asked Liu Yi to assist, but it took a lot of effort, and now that everyone is here, isn't it not to give him face when he says this at this time?

"Brother, you are a member of the royal family, how can he compare with you?" Zhang Fei was glared at by Liu Bei, and his momentum suddenly weakened a lot, he was not afraid of heaven and earth all his life, but he was afraid that his brother would stare at him.

"If you don't want to go, don't go!" Liu Bei snorted coldly, threw down a sentence, and took Zhuge Liang to the outside of the city.

Zhang Fei glanced at Guan Yu: "Second brother, ......"

"Let's go, then Liu Yi does have some skills." Guan Yu shook his head, although he had a lot of complaints about Liu Bei for entertaining a craftsman like this, Guan Yu was more stable than Zhang Fei.

The two of them followed Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to the outside of the city one after the other, Liu Yi and a hundred soldiers had already arrived at the city, and when they saw Liu Bei from a distance, they turned over and dismounted, and smiled at Liu Bei: "Uncle Lao personally greets him." ”

"Bo Yuan is fortunate to be here." Liu Bei took Liu Bei's hand affectionately and said: "Speaking of which, you and I met before Kong Ming, but it's a pity that there were all talents at that time, and I almost missed Bo Yuan." ”

When Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang's residence for the first time, he met Liu Yi, and at that time he only felt that this craftsman was a little special, and he didn't care much, and he also met Liu Yi on his second visit, and Liu Yi also sent a carriage to them, and it was from that time that Liu Bei began to pay attention to Liu Yi.

"Uncle Huang's words are serious, at that time, Yi Yi had no reputation, and he had no talent to learn, and now he is loved by Uncle Huang, and he is terrified!" Liu Yi shook his head and said hello to Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei with a smile.

Don't care what you thought before, now that you have to eat with others, your posture must be right, and you can be arrogant, maybe Liu Bei can tolerate it for a while, but it will definitely not tolerate it for a lifetime.

"Ha, you craftsman is a little self-aware!" Zhang Fei snorted coldly.

The atmosphere that was originally quite warm suddenly became a little awkward.

"Yide, it's rude!" Liu Bei turned his head and glared at Zhang Fei with some annoyance.

"He said it himself." Zhang Fei snorted depressedly.

"Lord, Bo Yuan has just arrived, and he has been running all the way, so he shouldn't talk here." Zhuge Liang stepped forward, broke the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere with a smile, took Liu Yi's hand and said, "Bo Yuan, I haven't seen you for many days, I have a lot to say, and I will continue when I enter it." ”

Liu Bei also nodded hurriedly and said, "What Mr. said is very true, Bo Yuan, go." ”

Liu Yi nodded, a little unhappy in his heart, and followed Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to fly past Zhang and fly into the city.

"He said it himself." Zhang Fei watched the three of them leave, looked at Guan Yu, and said angrily.

Guan Yu shook his head and didn't say anything, just patted Zhang Fei's shoulder and said, "Yide, this is to push talents out for my brother?" ”

Compared with Zhang Fei, Guan Yu's bad feelings towards Liu Yi are not so strong, and he looks at the problem more objectively, whether it is the equipment provided by Liu Yi before or the city defense designed by Fancheng, it is very helpful to Liu Bei, although he was defeated in the end, it is inferior to others, and Guan Yu is from the bottom, he actually doesn't have too much bad feelings for Liu Yi, as for Lu Bu, no matter what, he was also the first-class fierce general in the world at that time, and everyone died, the hatred was not heavy, not to mention that Liu Yi just went to Lu Bu's daughter, This is nothing in Guan Yu's opinion.

Zhang Fei was still a little mustard, and was pulled by Guan Yu to the city.

Liu Yi came to Xiakou this time, in addition to the hundreds of Mocheng soldiers, he also brought Wei Yan and Liu Sandao to accompany them, and these horses were naturally received, so Liu Yi didn't need to worry about it.

When the group came to Xiakou Mansion, Liu Bei ordered someone to prepare sake, beckoned Liu Yi to sit down, and said with a smile: "The third brother is relatively straightforward, and many times he has a mouth but no heart, and he hopes that Boyuan will not go to his heart." ”

"The three generals have a straightforward personality, are frank, and are the fierce generals of the world, although they are in Mocheng these days, they have also heard of the heroism of the three generals, and they are really generals when they retreat from the millions of Cao troops at the head of the Yang Bridge." Liu Yi hugged Zhang Fei with his fist, no matter what, this is the core figure on Liu Bei's side, and Liu Yi also expected this situation when he came, since he decided to hug Liu Bei's thigh, people like Zhang Fei really shouldn't be offended.

"But you have some knowledge." When Zhang Fei heard this, his heart was a little more relaxed, and he raised the wine bowl and said, "But I don't know how much this wine is?" ”

"It's not as big as the three generals." Liu Yi picked up the wine on the table and drank it all.

Liu Bei stroked his palms and smiled: "Bo Yuan is also heroic. ”

There is Liu Bei, a person who is better at maintaining interpersonal relationships, and Zhang Fei is not completely unpleasant to Liu Yi, and Liu Yi is also interested in integrating into this team.

Wine is a good thing, it can make people forget a lot of troubles and unhappiness for a while, the rise of drinking, it is possible to call brothers and brothers, especially when encountering Zhang Fei who is a good drinker, of course, the premise is that the relationship between the two parties is not the kind of natural offense just like Lu Bu and Zhang Fei back then.

After a banquet, it was regarded as a pleasure for the guests and hosts, and it was naturally impossible to talk about business here, since Liu Yi came, it was basically a sure thing to serve Liu Bei, and Liu Bei couldn't be so anxious, so he just said this.

After the banquet, the next day, after the wine woke up, Liu Bei pulled Zhuge Liang to invite Liu Yi to talk.

"I'm just a craftsman, and I don't know as much as Kong Ming in the general trend, since Uncle Huang has Kong Ming's help, there are already countermeasures in this regard, and I will take care of some chores for Uncle Huang in this time." Liu Yi looked at Liu Bei and smiled.

"Oh?" Liu Bei looked at Liu Yi and said with a smile: "Bo Yuan is a rare talent, how can he do some miscellaneous things." ”

Besides, Liu Bei is just such a little soldier now, where can he get the chores to do?

"Judging from the current situation, if Uncle Huang wants to succeed, he must use the power of Jiangdong, this battle is mainly based on Jiangdong, what Uncle Huang should do at this time is to consolidate his own strength, and after Cao Cao's army is defeated, he will take the opportunity to take the four counties of Jingnan." Liu Yi pondered: "The four counties of Jingnan are not well guarded, and with the reputation of the emperor's uncle, it is not difficult to take the four counties of Jingxiang. ”

The three major counties of Jingbei Nanyang, Nanjun and Jiangxia are the main forces of Jingxiang, as for the four counties of Jingnan, although the land is wide, but it is sparsely populated, it is not difficult to take, but the development space is limited, Liu Yi intends to vigorously develop the four counties of Jingnan, but this takes several years of work, and it is powerless to be effective in the short term, so Liu Yi did not mention it now, and will slowly say it in the future, he has just come now, he should not ask for power, but to prove his worth.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other, this is exactly their plan, pull Jiangdong into the chariot, watch Cao Sun fight, and then if Cao's army is defeated, then take Jingnan as the foundation first, and then find a way to include Nanjun and Jiangxia in the account, if Sun Quan is defeated, then take the opportunity to seize Jiangdong, Liu Yi's rhetoric is basically the same as Zhuge Liang, but Liu Yi did not consider the affairs of Jiangdong, but only considered the practice after Cao Cao's defeat, but it is a bit extreme, but this alone is enough to prove that Liu Yi is not an ordinary craftsman, and even more powerful than ordinary strategists.

"In the next place, I will make some equipment here, and after the defeat of Cao's army, I can help the emperor's uncle capture Jiangling and capture Nanjun." Liu Yi said with a smile, if Jiangling is captured, then Nanjun will basically be captured except for Xiangyang.

"How?" Liu Bei said happily when he heard this, the four counties of Jingnan are basically no problem to take down, but Jiangling is probably not so easy, the land of Jiangling is not only a strong city, but also rich in reserves, the reason why Liu Bei wanted to go to Jiangling before is because there is a hoarding of almost the entire Xiangyang's heavy grain and grass here, once Jiangling is taken, there is no need to worry about the problem of military grain and grass.

"Yishan craftsman's skill, but there is no clever strategy, but the siege equipment is not difficult, in the next wish to make some siege equipment, when he comes in the future, he will be able to help the emperor uncle break through Jiangxia in one fell swoop." Liu Yi said with a little confidence, now that the attributes of the things he has made have broken well, he can gradually open up the level, and to a certain extent, he has been able to make up for the gap in quantity.

Liu Bei was quite satisfied when he heard this, he even lowered his identity at any cost to invite Liu Yi, what he valued was Liu Yi's unique ability in this regard, it sounded like just a good craftsman, but for Liu Yi's ability, in this world, Liu Bei forced anyone to know that the weapons he made can cut off the enemy's weapons, the armor is strong, the bow and arrow range is long, and the most important thing is that Liu Yi is a super craftsman who can drive others to mass production, not that he can only build weapons alone.

Although Liu Bei doesn't know why Liu Yi has such an ability, but for Liu Bei, it is the most important thing for Liu Bei to be able to use this ability, so when Liu Yi raised this, Liu Bei was very satisfied, what he wanted was Liu Yi's ability in this regard, and even he didn't need Liu Yi to call him the master, because Liu Yi's ability was tangible, as long as he was here and willing to do things, then his value could be maximized, which is different from Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, who are military generals like Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, whose abilities are intangible and cannot be seen.

"Then please ask Bo Yuan for this matter." Liu Bei smiled: "If there is a need, you can put it forward as much as possible, and try to meet it as much as possible." Liu Bei smiled, maybe in the eyes of others, it is not worth it to put so much energy on a craftsman, but Liu Bei himself thinks that it is enough.

Next, it is natural to talk about the specific content, Liu Yi does not have many requirements, only one word, money, he wants to use money to recruit people, and use money to modify the wrong attributes, but this thing, for Liu Bei today, is also in urgent need, recruiting troops and horses, hoarding grain and grass, shipbuilding, and casting weapons all require money, of course, shipbuilding and casting weapons can be handed over to Liu Yi to do, and there is no conflict, but with Liu Bei's current net worth, he really can't take too much, in this matter, Liu Bei really can only do his best.
