Luoyang was arranging defenses during this time, not to mention the news from the imperial court, Guan Ping himself also had a simple intelligence system, responsible for spying on the movements of the surrounding areas, Xu Huang gathered troops and horses in Hanoi with such fanfare, and fools could see it clearly.

When Liu Yi came over, Guan Ping had just returned from Chenggao.

"Sikong, this time you are here to sit in Luoyang?" Guan Ping looked at Liu Yi with some surprise, if it was someone else, even if Zhuge Liang came, he would not be so happy, it was one thing when he was weak before, but after he really grew up, he would have his own combat style, and under the command of others, he would feel constrained.

But Liu Yi is different, he generally only provides strategies, and for the military, he basically lets the soldiers under his account play freely, and can also let you worry about the future.

"It's not." Liu Yi shook his head: "This spring ploughing is coming, a large number of people are going to farm, I will select thousands of outstanding craftsmen to hire, continue to build Luoyang, as for the affairs of Cao Jun, you are fully responsible, and you will not send another commander over." ”

"This ......" Guan Ping smiled bitterly: "Sikong, the opponent is Xu Huang." ”

Xu Huang is a famous general of his father's generation, and his ability to command troops is not weaker than his own father, so that Guan Yu can say such things, Xu Huang's ability is not something that ordinary people can deal with.

"He's old." Liu Yi looked at Guan Ping lightly and said: "You don't have to be arrogant, you are not much worse than the general now, but you have a problem with your mentality, Xu Huang is a famous general, but there is no need to mythologize him, with him, he is not qualified enough to make the future general of the Han Dynasty fearful, right?" ”

Speaking of the last sentence, although Liu Yi's tone was flat, Guan Ping felt a sense of oppression, took a deep breath, Guan Ping bowed and said: "The lesson of Sikong is extremely true, and the end will be remembered in mind." ”

"The defense of the Tiger Prison Pass, I have already strengthened it once, this time, what are the requirements, you can say, if not, I will go back the day after tomorrow." Liu Yi helped Guan Ping up.

"So fast?" Guan Ping was surprised.

"Well, the track laying in Xiliang must be smooth before the two are completed, and I also want to touch the situation of the Huns." Liu Yi nodded, there are 20,000 new troops in Lanchi, Liu Yi didn't know it at first, and it was only after he was determined that he was appointed as the pastor of Liangzhou, only then did he know that Zhuge Villager had allocated so many people to himself, and he clearly let himself go to war, what else could he say?

Since it was a serious matter, Guan Ping, who knew Liu Yi's character, didn't say much more, and after bowing at the moment, he thought about it carefully and said: "The Tiger Prison Pass Defense General has already checked several times, and it is enough to resist 100,000 male divisions, so don't worry." ”

"In this way, I will be relieved, and I can be honest about the hard work all these days, so let's go and rest first." Liu Yi waved his hand at Guan Ping, he was tired from running around all the way.

In the next two days, Guan Ping did not leave Luoyang again, but helped Liu Yi first let go of the hired workers who had to be cultivated by himself at home, and selected the hired workers who volunteered to stay, in fact, there are not many, the total number of hired workers in Luoyang is about 14,000, but some of them are responsible for the laying of the track, and now they are ready to dock with the work team in Chang'an in the Huayin area, as long as it is connected, even if the supply line from Guanzhong to Luoyang is completed, there is no longer so much labor, according to Liu Yi's prediction, the next is fine work, Chang'an and Luoyang each have 1,000 people, and then hire them at a master's cost, slow is definitely slow, but in terms of time, as long as the city walls are built, the rest of the things can be done slowly.

At noon on the third day, the matter of Luoyang was explained, Liu Yi embarked on the way home under the escort of Guan Yu and others, the matter of Chang'an, before he had ordered people to start dismissing hired workers in batches to farm, last year because of the war, Guanzhong was not harvested, a winter, basically relied on Shuzhong and Jingzhou to transport grain to support the past, this year's farming must not be delayed, several main tracks have also been laid, at least the transportation line from Shuzhong to Guanzhong is no problem.

Liu Yi is mainly responsible for the laying of wooden rails in Xiliang, the area of Xiliang is much larger than that of Guanzhong, the land is vast and sparsely populated, but there are more main wooden rails to be laid.

Although it is desolate, it will be the main trade route of the Silk Road in the future, and the population may not be small, but the rail route cannot be less, and it may even extend to the Western Regions, the Hetao and even the grasslands in the future.

The most important thing is the problem of manpower, he can't mobilize too many people from Guanzhong, so many times, the problem of laying the track has to fall on the shoulders of the army.

In short, for now, after Liu Yi's rest during the period of Liu Bei's death, he will have to run and be busy for this matter in the next two to three years, which has to be on the premise that there is no damn war, if there is a war, then this time limit will be pushed back, and it is not a matter of one or two years, which also involves the problem of funds, after all, a war may not last too long, especially with nomads, but this cost is a lot, and it is not necessarily possible to earn it back.

And Liu Yi's various plans must be supported by strong financial resources, otherwise they can't be moved at all.

In Chang'an, Liu Yi stayed for two more days, and only after assigning things did he resign to Liu Chan.

"Sikong has worked hard for my big man, and I regret it in my heart, these things are better left to others, why should Sikong go in person?" In Liu Chan's hall, Liu Chan reluctantly held Liu Yi's hand.

"Your Majesty, if the Xiliang reconstruction can be successful, this Xiliang will not only no longer become a problem for my Han, but can even continue to provide financial and material support for my Han. Liu Yi arched his hand at Liu Chan and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding." ”

"In that case...... Liu Chan nodded at the little yellow door beside him, and the little yellow door cleverly brought a silver plate.

"This is my tiger talisman, although Sikong is not in charge of the military, but if necessary, with this tiger talisman, you can order the soldiers and horses of Xiliang!" Liu Chan said solemnly.

"Minister...... Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, this thing will be used with caution. Liu Yi bowed to Liu Chan again.

Saying goodbye to Liu Chan, Liu Yi came to Lu Lingqi, looking at the face of the chess piece, Liu Yi felt a faint reluctance in his heart, and came to her side and whispered: "If there is something at home, you can write to me, and I will rush back as soon as possible." ”

"Don't think of a concubine as a husband." Lu Lingqi smiled and shook her head: "Ai'er's matter, the concubine has already discussed with the Queen Mother, and when this matter is over, the Queen Mother will personally tell the general." ”

"There's Mrs. Law." Liu Yi nodded, no longer remembered, stepped on the frame again, walked out of the city gate, and headed north......
