"General, these are the household registrations and other files of Guiyang County." The group walked into the government office, and Zhao Fan smiled at the roll of bamboo slips on the table and said to Liu Yi.

"Huh~ Zhao Fujun's strength is not small, all the files are here?" Liu Yi glanced at Zhao Fan with some surprise, the weight of these dozens of bamboo slips was not light.

"The general smiled, the people of Guiyang County are few and poor, and all the files are there." Zhao Fan replied with a smile, that smile was quite honest, giving people a feeling that it was easy to get close to.

"It's really not much, the prince has worked hard, let's go down and rest first, and I'll talk about it after I finish reading these files." Liu Yi nodded, looking at the piles of bamboo slips, but the content recorded in bamboo slips is limited, and with such a table, it will almost be finished in two or three days.

"General, this Guiyang gentry has heard of the general's prestige for a long time, and he has set up a banquet in the Xiaguan's mansion today, I wonder if the general will have leisure today?" Zhao Fan was not in a hurry to leave, but bowed to Liu Yi.

"I'm afraid it won't work today, but in a few days." Liu Yi shook his head, this Guiyang gentry still wants to be seen, but he is not in a hurry, at least he has to wait for him to straighten out the affairs of Guiyang, in fact, it is best for Liu Bei to send someone to take over, these messy government affairs, he is a little annoyed, now he just wants to rest for a while, and then make his own design model, and then put into the great cause of building the city.

"Well, then the subordinate will go and dismiss them, and come back in a while." Zhao Fan was not disappointed, smiled at Liu Yi, bowed, and left.

I'm quite good at being a man.

Looking at the direction in which Zhao Fan left, Liu Yi shook his head, now he wants to wait for Liu Bei's reply first, for now, let's take a look at Guiyang's situation first.

Changsha has a population of 130,000, Wuling has a population of 110,000, and Lingling has a population of 170,000, and now the population of Guiyang is probably about 100,000, and the population of the four counties of Jingnan is only a little over 500,000, and as far as Liu Yi knows, the population of Xiangyang alone is more than 400,000, and the population of the entire southern county is several times that of the four counties of Jingnan. So he wanted to ask Liu Bei for the right to develop the four counties of Jingnan, well, and there was money to develop these four counties.

With his current level, only Jiancheng can improve his level faster.

Liu Yi is idle here, but Liu Bei has a headache on Jiangling's side.

Zhou Yu or Sun Quan saw that Jiangling was taken by Liu Bei, and it was not good to force Jiangling anymore, after all, it had been said before the war that whoever fought would be whom, and Zhou Yu did not expect that Liu Bei would be able to defeat Cao Ren in two days.

But the benefits are still there, for Liu Bei's decision to give up Jiangxia, whether Sun Quan or Zhou Yu, at least on the surface, they are satisfied, but when it comes to Jingling, the two sides cannot be unified, mainly because Zhou Yu insists that since Jingling is the land governed by Jiangxia, it must be returned to Jiangdong.

But Mocheng is in Jingling, Liu Bei is naturally unwilling to give up, and the two sides are not so much unwilling to compromise on the Jingling issue, but rather that Zhou Yu has already thought about Liu Yi.

Judging from the detailed information of Cao Ren's defeat this time, Liu Bei's equipment is obviously superior to Cao Ren's, and there are a lot, as well as the warship that can launch stone projectiles in the water, Jiangdong is famous for its naval army, and its shipbuilding skills are also the top in the world, but no one can build this kind of warship, Zhou Yu naturally hopes to win Liu Yi to Jiangdong's side and build military equipment for Jiangdong.

Moreover, the Tiangongfang in Mocheng is still selling various products after Liu Yi leaves, but it is not producing weapons and armor, mainly selling some furniture and farm tools, and after Zhou Yu secretly asked people to buy some, he was even more amazed by Liu Yi's ability, and wanted to recruit Liu Yi to Jiangdong.

Liu Bei was naturally unwilling to do this kind of thing of killing chickens and taking eggs, and gave Liu Yi to Jiangdong, and if Jiangdong turned around to fight himself in the future, with the weapons and armor provided by Liu Yi, plus Jiangdong was already stronger than Liu Bei, so did he Liu Bei still have a way to live?

It's just that Jiangdong is powerful now, and Liu Bei's own taking Jiangling is equivalent to taking advantage of Jiangdong, so he can't negotiate with Zhou Yu so hard, so he can only talk to Zhou Yu.

"Kong Ming, what should I do about this?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang beside him and said with a wry smile, Mocheng will definitely not let it.

"According to Liang, since Zhou Lang wants Jingling, then give it to him." Zhuge Liang shook his fan and smiled.

"But Mocheng ......" Liu Bei frowned and looked at Zhuge Liang, gave it to Jiangdong, would Liu Yi be dissatisfied?

"Don't forget, the lord didn't want to forget that Cao Cao attacked Mocheng that day, and he issued an edict to Moxian." Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Mo County belongs to Nan County, and the lord can be bounded by Tianmen Mountain in Jiangdong. ”

At the beginning, Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, and Le Jin defeated Mocheng, and Cao Cao was unwilling to make a big fight for the land of Mocheng, so he set Mocheng as the county seat in the name of the imperial court and belonged to Nanjun.

As for saying that it was Cao Cao's order, but it was also an edict from the Son of Heaven, and they respected the Son of Heaven and not Cao Cao.

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, but then he was stunned, nodded and smiled: "What Kong Ming said is very good, so follow Kong Ming's words!" ”

"Report~" Just as Liu Bei was relieved about this matter, he suddenly saw a guard from the General's Mansion come in, bowed to Liu Bei and said: "Lord, a fleet of ships has come from the river, and the momentum is quite huge, and it is approaching the side of the water village." ”

"Who is it?" Liu Bei frowned.

"Look at the flag, it's our fleet." The guard bowed.

"When did our army have a sailor?" Liu Bei was happy when he heard this, his subordinates are now Guan Yu leading a naval army, ten warships, plus dozens of ships, and there is not even a single ship, where is the huge fleet? Turning his head to look at Zhuge Liang, he said, "But Jiangdong wants to go to Jiangling?" ”

"How could Zhou Yu be so unwise?" Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "With such a strategy, the child may not be fooled, why don't the lord go to the city to have a look?" ”

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this: "Good! ”

At that moment, Liu Bei called Zhao Yun, and ordered someone to inform Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and then took the generals to the water village, at this time, on the water village, they could already see the other party's fleet clearly, the eye-catching flag was Liu Bei's flag, and the ship was ......

"This is the mother ship made by Bo Yuan, under the whole world, I am afraid that only Mocheng has it!" Zhuge Liang pointed to the boats that were beating the head and smiled at Liu Bei.

In addition to the sub-mother boat, there are also a large number of boats and even fishing boats in the rear, which looks quite messy, Liu Bei was surprised when he heard this: "Bo Yuan should be conquering Lingling and Guiyang at this moment, how can he be here?" ”

While talking, he saw that in the fleet, a small boat was quickly coming this way, everyone looked intently, but saw that on the small boat, there was a heroic young general, holding a big knife, and his expression was quite similar to Guan Yu, it was Guan Ping.

"Tanzhi?" Liu Bei was a little surprised when he saw this, and hurriedly asked people to open the water village and let Guan Ping in.

Guan Ping got off the boat, went straight to Liu Bei and his party, and bowed.

"Why is my son here? Where did those trolls come from? Guan Yu frowned and looked at Guan Pingdao.

"Lord, father!" After Guan Ping saluted everyone, he bowed down and said: "Mr. has captured Lingling and surrendered most of the soldiers and horses, but most of these soldiers and horses are sect thieves, and Mr. is worried that if they stay in Lingling, there will be many rebellions, so he ordered the last general and General Liu Feng to bring these 20,000 soldiers and horses back to Jiangling first." ”

"Lingling has so many soldiers and horses?" Guan Yu was slightly surprised, how many people did Lingling have in total, how could so many soldiers and horses gather?

"Lingling Taishou united with sect thieves from all over the country and Shanyue soldiers and horses to attack, and there are indeed more than 20,000 people." Guan Ping bowed and said: "In addition, there are Lingling Taishou Liu Du, Liu Xian and his son, and Jingzhou General Wen Ping, who are now on the ship, waiting for the lord to send them, and in addition, Mr. has a letter asking me to transfer it to the lord." ”

As he spoke, Guan Ping took out a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to Liu Bei.

"Yun Chang and Yide, you two go and let Ziyi enter the village and settle these soldiers and horses." Liu Bei took the bamboo slip and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at the same time.

Now that you're sure it's your own person, there's no need to worry.

Guan Yu brushed his beard and said: "With these soldiers and horses, why are you afraid of that Zhou Lang?" ”

These days, Zhou Yu has already made Guan Yu and others dissatisfied because of a Jingling chattering here, and now there are 20,000 new troops, plus the four counties of Jingnan have also been taken by Liu Yi, at this time, Liu Bei already has the confidence to talk to Jiangdong, although it is still not as good, but Jiangdong may not dare to turn his face with Liu Bei, after all, both sides have to consider Cao Cao's attitude.

Liu Bei nodded, opened the bamboo slip, and quickly looked over the bamboo slip.

After a while, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile: "If there is no accident, now that Guiyang is afraid that it has been taken, Bo Yuan urges me to send someone to take over the affairs of the four counties as soon as possible, it is really ......."

Everyone else is seeking officials, but Liu Yi is pushing it out, which is strange enough, could it be that everyone in the Mo family is like this?

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Bo Yuanzhi is not here, this time he is willing to lead the troops, but also because of the lack of manpower around the lord, and now with the help of the Jingxiang clan, Bo Yuan is probably also considering that the lord needs to appease the Jingxiang people, so this letter came." ”

"It's just ......" Liu Bei nodded, and then said with a wry smile: "Bo Yuan wants to build a new city on the shore of that Dongting Lake, and it will take ...... to do this."

Founding a city?

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei, the cost of building a city is indeed not small.

"Thirty million, and more may be needed in the future." Liu Bei has a toothache, he just got Jiangling, although Jiangling is rich, but Liu Bei also wants to reward the soldiers of the three armies, and Jiangling reserves more weapons, grain and grass, this coin is not too much, Liu Yi is now opening his mouth is 30 million, which makes Liu Bei quite embarrassed, and now he really can't take out so much.
