The situation in Jingzhou quickly returned to stability after Zhuyang was occupied by Liaohua, and now both Liu Bei and Cao Cao are seeking stability, although Zhuyang is only a small pass, but at this time it has become the balance point of this fragile relationship between the two sides.

Prior to this, the position of Zhuyang was not optimistic, but after Xiangyang was occupied, the importance of Zhuyang was highlighted, if Cao Cao occupied Zhuyang, between Xiangyang and Hanzhong, Cao Cao stabbed a thorn hard, and could not be unblocked, but if Zhuyang was in the hands of Liu Bei, the initiative of the attack would be completely transposed, Liu Bei could send troops from Hanzhong and Xiangyang at the same time to Nanyang, Nanyang's Cao army could only turn from attack to defense at this time, and did not dare to attack Xiangyang with all his might, so as not to be taken by Liu Bei in the back.

Perhaps it was Cao Cao who lost too much of his relationship here back then, Cao Jun's administrative methods in Nanyang were quite irritable, and they had always been based on suppression, which also led to the civil riots in Nanyang that had not stopped over the years, and if Liu Bei was beaten in at this time, Cao Jun was also worried that Nanyang would not be able to hold it, so that Xuchang would be almost completely exposed to Liu Bei's attack.

In fact, Guan Yu occupied Xiangyang, and after Jiangdong was frustrated in Jingzhou, Cao Cao had already begun to prepare for the relocation of the capital, after all, Xuchang was too close to Xiangyang, and there was almost no danger to defend, if Liu Bei accidentally took away the Son of Heaven, then Cao Cao would be completely passive politically, and the land of Kyushu, which had been stable, was afraid that there would be a large number of riots inside, and at that time, the world would probably be chaotic again.

This is definitely not the result that Cao Cao wants to see, so the relocation of the capital has basically reached a consensus within Cao's army and has begun to put it into action.

At this time, Cao Cao naturally did not want Nanyang to lose.

……

Cheng Yu went out of the Wei Palace, sighed slightly, this time is actually a good opportunity to recapture Xiangyang, but Cao Cao chose to seek stability, Cheng Yu found that the King of Wei is old, especially since he was named the King of Wei in April this year, after Wen Ruo's death, the King of Wei is no longer as capable of swallowing the world as he was back then.

Probably since the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao seems to have lost his sharpness, everything is to seek stability, the tiger is still there, and now the King of Wei is still amazing, even better than back then, but the courage of who is left to give me is no longer there.

If Cao Cao before the Battle of Chibi encountered this situation, he might have personally conquered, at least to take Xiangyang back, and maintain Cao Wei's main offensive advantage, but now, the elderly Cao Cao has lost that sharpness, and he has become anxious, like all people who have entered old age, and began to plan for his children and grandchildren.

It's just that...... Cheng Yu shook his head, I can't say that Cao Cao is wrong, Cao Cao's main energy now is internal, to stabilize Cao's regime, but Liu Bei's development in recent years has made Cheng Yu very worried, with Shuzhong as the rear, and strategic places such as Jingzhou, once he changes in the Central Plains in the future, when Liu Bei is brazenly attacked, can anyone stop Cao Wei?

Ten years ago, he could see the world clearly, but ten years later, he can no longer see the future of the world.

Fortunately, Liu Bei is also old, as for Jiangdong Sun Quan...... is an eloquent talent, but in the end, Jiangdong's own problems are too limited, after the death of the amazing and brilliant Zhou Yu, Cheng Yu is actually not worried about Jiangdong.

It's a pity that this calculation of Jingzhou failed to succeed, even if Jingzhou fell into the hands of Jiangdong, in Cheng Yu's opinion, it would be ten times stronger than falling into the hands of Liu Bei.

Cheng Yu suddenly found that the strategists who gathered under Cao Cao's tent back then, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xun Yu had passed away one after another, and now it seemed that he was the only one left, and an inexplicable sense of depression lingered in his heart, Cheng Yu suddenly missed those old friends, and now the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are mostly juniors, and it seems that it is difficult to integrate into these people anymore.

"Wenhe?" Looking at the person in front of him swaying by, the chubby body made Cheng Yu, who was not too cold to Jia Xu before, suddenly feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy, and couldn't help but call out loud.

"It turned out to be the Marquis of Anguo Pavilion." Jia Xu turned his head suspiciously, looked at Cheng Yu, the friendship between the two was not too deep, and even a little wrong, he didn't understand why Cheng Yu wanted to greet him, and said politely: "I don't know what advice Anguo Tinghou has?" ”

Shaking his head, Cheng Yu came to Jia Xu with a little slumped body, looked at Jia Xu carefully, and when Jia Xu was uncomfortable, he asked, "Where is Wenhe going?" ”

"There's nowhere to go, just a casual walk." Jia Xu shook his head, generally he rarely made friends with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and was more withdrawn.

"That'...... Would you like to talk to me? Cheng Yu looked at Jia Xu and smiled.

"Nature." Jia Xu felt that there was something wrong with Cheng Yu today: "An Guoting Marquis, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"You're always so cautious, you used to think you're a ...... Too selfish. Cheng Yu stretched out his hand, Jia Xu stepped forward to support him, the two figures folded forward, Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "Now that I think about it, maybe Wenhe is right like this, people...... It's always time to think about yourself. ”

Cao Cao wants to kill Cheng Yu?

Jia Xu was shocked in his heart, but then he shook his head, it doesn't make sense, it's not necessary, why did this old guy suddenly express these feelings?

"The prime minister is old, Liu Bei is also old, of course, I am also old, many of those heroes have now become a cup of loess, sometimes, I am thinking, when I am gone, in this world, will anyone remember?" Cheng Yu didn't care what Jia Xu thought, just like all old people, he held Jia Xu's hand and chattered: "Back then, when Feng Xiao left, the old man felt very uncomfortable, and felt that God was jealous of talent, so Feng Xiao would die young at such an age, and then Wen Ruo went, and his heart was also uncomfortable, but it was not so uncomfortable, Wen Ruo's ambition in his life has not changed, he lives very clearly, he knows what he wants, although he has no regrets in death, there are some things, but someone has to guard, even if that thing has finally come to an end, But there must always be people like Wen Ruo, who use their lives to tell future generations that some things can be compromised and some can't. ”

Jia Xu asked himself if he was quite smart, but he couldn't understand what Cheng Yu meant now, did he want to express something?

"Wenhe doesn't have to worry about me hurting you." Seeing that Jia Xu was silent, Cheng Yu laughed, shook his head and said: "People like you and me have too many calculations in their lives, and in the end, they will tell the truth...... No one believed it. ”

Jia Xu was silent, Cheng Yu said to himself: "I, I just suddenly found that the people around me have changed, and I want to find someone similar to me, reminiscing about the past, I didn't like it very much before, but now I find that this famous man of the Manchu Dynasty, who can talk to me, seems to be the only one left who is Wenhe." ”

Jia Xu's face was a little weird, he understood a little, this old man couldn't find someone to talk to, seeing that he pulled himself over to talk, did he make a mistake when he went out?

Looking at Cheng Yu, Jia Xu suddenly had a feeling of sympathy: "Tinghou is too worried, which one of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers and ministers is disrespectful to you?" ”

"Hey~" Cheng Yu laughed when he heard this, and shook his head: "It's still so cunning." ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he smiled and didn't answer.

The two of them just supported each other, walking aimlessly along the main street of Yecheng, the sun was in the west, and the figures of both of them became a little depressed......

Cao Jun retreated, the reconstruction of Xiangyang finally began, unlike Yueyang City, although Xiangyang is also surrounded by Han water, but the underground is not like Yueyang at the beginning, the land is quite strong, but the benefits of the underground city are too many, Xiangyang is an important town in Jingbei, and it is also a bridgehead to fight against Cao Wei, the underground city will naturally be built, before Liu Yi arrived, Guan Yu has hired a man to dig the pit, three zhang deep, with a circumference of twenty miles, in this era, it is already a big city.

Different from Yueyang, because the geological structure of Xiangyang is solid, so there is no need to consider the foundation as Yueyang, Liu Yi chose to build a frame structure this time, with bamboo and wood to lay a good frame first, and then cover it with wooden planks, fill it with cement, as the foundation, of course, the part of the city, or use masonry to build, so that the progress of the project will be much faster.

Yueyang's underground warehouse has not yet been filled with one-fifth, which also gives Liu Yi a new direction for the distribution of the underground part this time, and the urban drainage and sewage system Xiangyang will be stronger than Yueyang.

"This time, tens of thousands of people are hired by the people of Xiangyang?" Liu Yi calculated the distance of Xiangyang City and asked.

This time it is much easier to hire people than Yueyang at the beginning, tens of thousands of people started construction at the same time, the progress of this project is not slow, the underground part of this is only a month to build, now what to do is to wait for the cement to harden, but also to prepare for the city Zhu Ti, polish materials, carry bricks.

"Yes, the people of Xiangyang have heard about the matter of Jiangling, and they know that Tinghou came to build the city, and they are quite positive." Liao Hua nodded, the smile on his face was very sincere, Liu Yi had already promised to help him keep a mansion, and in the future, the Liao family in Xunnan would also have some identity in this Jingzhou land.

"Tinghou, Cao Jun really won't come?" Liao Hua was still a little worried about Cao Jun.

"Probably not, but there must be vigilance." Liu Yi nodded, he naturally didn't know what Cao Cao thought, but the current situation affected the whole body, at least Cao Jun's forces in Nanyang were actually in a weak position in this battle, not to mention that there was also a Jiangdong, if Jiangdong was also involved, then it would not be easy to stop this war, but who Jiangdong would help at that time, this is two things.

Therefore, Liu Bei doesn't want to fight, and Cao Cao may not be willing to take the risk to attack, Liu Yi analyzed it this way, but the necessary defense is indispensable, otherwise if he slacks, Cao Jun doesn't want to fight, and when he sees that this side is too easy to fight, he can't help but stretch out his hand, which will be a tragedy.
