Although his children were also the first batch of students to enter the school, but because of the problem of age, they did not participate in this discharge assessment, this discharge assessment was proposed by Liu Yi, for many reasons, the Han is in urgent need of fresh blood is a reason, and the upcoming big war is about to occur, and it is to stimulate morale, give the officers and men in the army a reason to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and also to see a way for the middle and lower class people to be promoted.

Of course, there are some other ideas, such as breaking Liu Bei's group's increasingly strong dependence on the family's talents, not that it can't be used, it turns out that the probability of the family's talent is still of quality, it is indeed the highest, but anything, once the dependence is formed, it will be controlled by the other party, maybe the first generation of the family that followed Liu Bei will be very loyal because of Liu Bei's means, and the second generation will have a sense of belonging, which will also affect the third generation.

But people, in the final analysis, are still selfish, when they find that they can get more, they will continue to test the bottom line, when the bottom line is constantly broken, it is also the beginning of decline, this can be regarded as a precaution, I have heard of three generations of loyal ministers, who has heard of ten generations of loyalty? Probably a dynasty is over.

But this matter can only come little by little, not in a hurry, even Liu Yi never thought that he could complete it in this life, he didn't want to become a businessman, anyway, he has glory and wealth in this life, and even if Liu Bei turns a blind eye to this article, he is also the part of the vested interests, just leave a concept for others to dig into, he will definitely not do it, this thing is taboo, and it will not end well.

The three-day assessment period has passed, and the finished products and theories have been delivered, and it is difficult for you to use things like steam engines on relatively small objects, so most of the things that the disciples come up with are of that kind of large ones.

For example, what Zhou Huai made is a crane model, which is the kind that Liu Yi used when he built the city, replacing manpower through a steam engine, which is indeed promising, and it is also more in line with Liu Yi's concept, after all, no matter how good the war machine is, it can't bring too much creativity.

It's a pity, in addition, there are not too many eye-catching inventions, although some inventions can make models, but the practicality and cost performance are not large, but also count the assessment, now the shortage of talents, unless it is really useless, it is difficult not to be enabled, this class of disciples' promotion rate, may be the highest in the entire academy, in the future, with the saturation of talents, the talents from the academy began to flow to the people, but that may be more than ten years later, at present, talents from all walks of life are in a state of shortage, If you want to enter the prosperous era that Liu Yi expects, talents will always be in an unsaturated state.

"Mohou, there is a messenger sent by His Majesty to ask for a meeting!" After the end of this assessment, Liu Yi was thinking about accompanying his wife and children at home, but before a few months passed, he ushered in the messenger of Hanzhong.

"Invite them in." Liu Yi sighed, just after resting, the messenger came, which made people feel a little helpless.

"Leaving again?" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi with a little gloom in her eyes.

"Well, probably." Liu Yi nodded silently and said, at this time, most of the envoys sent by Hanzhong were to recruit him back.

"Xiaguan Deng Zhi, see Mohou!" A scribe in his forties came in and bowed to Liu Yi.

"Bo Miao doesn't have to be polite." Liu Yi got up and helped Deng Zhi up, the two were about the same age, Deng Zhi was under Liu Yi, but he had also made a lot of meritorious contributions over the years, it was Liu Yi who was not in the court during this time, a new talent, and his ability was quite good.

"But Your Majesty wants to send me back?" After a polite exchange, the two sides sat down, and Liu Yi asked with a smile.

"Exactly." Deng Zhi nodded: "Mohou and General Zhenxi have been in Southern Xinjiang for a long time, and Your Majesty misses them a lot. ”

"Going to war?" Liu Yi sighed, looked at Deng Zhi and said with a wry smile, Liu Bei is a person who values feelings, but he is also a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, and he will never recall the important ministers outside because he misses them.

"Not bad." After Deng Zhi was silent for a moment, he nodded and said, "There is news from Yecheng that Cao Pi, the lord of Wei, is critically ill. ”

According to Cao Wei's year name, it is now the seventh year of the early Huang Dynasty, Cao Pi has ascended the throne so far, and the actual time has been more than six years.

Moreover, the Han has accumulated savings for so many years, especially in the past two years, manpower and material resources have begun to expand significantly, and the interior has been quite rich, and it is indeed time for further expansion.

It's a pity that if you can wait a few more years, maybe it will be better, but it's a pity that the fighter plane is like this, fleeting, and it is impossible to wait for everything to wait until you are ready.

"Okay, this matter is almost over here, let's leave in a few days." Liu Yi nodded and said, this Northern Expedition may be the most hopeful, and it is also the most prosperous time for Liu Bei's talents, the generals are all there, Liu Bei is still alive, and if you wait for the next time, there may not be such a luxurious lineup as now.

Deng Zhi nodded, got up and said goodbye to Chen Zhi to pass the edict there, this time it was not only for Liu Yi and Chen Zhi to return to the court, but also for the Wudang Flying Army that Chen Zhi had trained in the past five years, and there were many things.

"The husband has just rested, and he is going to send troops again?" After Deng Zhi left, Lu Lingqi came out of the back hall and looked at Liu Yi with some loss.

"This Northern Expedition is very crucial." Liu Yi nodded, also a little helpless, he is not just Shaofu, Liu Bei's side sent troops to the Northern Expedition, he must be indispensable, and he may even lead an army alone.

Although he has not yet participated in the specific battle planning, Liu Yi estimates that it should be based on the battle for the land of Guanzhong, and it is unrealistic to swallow Cao Wei in one bite, but if it is only the goal of concentrating on one place in Guanzhong, with the current conditions of the Han Dynasty, with the help of this fighter, it is completely possible, if he can get the place of the audience, Liu Bei's shortcomings on his side will be completely completed, so this battle is very critical.

"The concubine knows, it's just the academic ...... of Ming'er and Cheng'er" Lu Lingqi sighed, she knew very well that these things were just the children's living environment, and they had finally stabilized, and now they had to change again, and they really couldn't bear the pain of the children's travel.

"Stay here first, and after we finish Guanzhong, we will settle in Chang'an." Liu Yi was silent for a moment and said, it is indeed not suitable for children to change places often, but Yunnan is not a place to live for a long time, and if you arrive in Chang'an, you should not move.

"Hmm." Lu Lingqi nodded silently: "When will the husband leave?" ”

"Seven days at the earliest." Liu Yi thought about it and said, this time there is also the army with him, to use the rail car to pull, you have to prepare the rail car, coordinate the road in advance, don't crash, these coordination aspects also take time, now the rail car is designed five together, by more than a dozen people at the same time, the speed can be about fifty miles in an hour, alternate pedaling, about three hundred miles a day, from here to Hanzhong, such a speed can reach Hanzhong in about ten days, the speed is already very fast in this era.

"The concubine is preparing to pack as a husband." Lu Lingqi nodded and didn't say anything more.

Looking at the back of Lu Lingqi leaving, Liu Yi sighed, sat in his seat and thought silently, hoping that this battle would not take too much time.

The progress of things is faster than Liu Yi imagined, it is not difficult to gather the baggage of the flying army and the academy talents to be brought on this trip, but the difficulty is the coordination of the road and the preparation of the baggage.

There are 5,000 people in Wudang Feijun alone, plus the accompanying talents, there are about 500 people, a train can be loaded with about 50 people, and people alone need 110 rail cars, and there is no need to worry about food along the way, there are supplies at various stations, which saves a lot of manpower.

On April 23 of the sixth year of Zhangwu, the army began to move slowly under the reluctant eyes of many people in Nanzhong who came to see them off, and more than 100 rail cars gradually accelerated, and soon disappeared from the sight of the crowd.

When I came to Nanzhong, most of the places on this road were primeval forests, full of miasma, but six years later, I set foot on the way home again, and what I saw along the way, but it was mostly one village after another, at least on these roads, it was difficult to see the kind of silent and lifeless miasma forest, in six years, the entire six counties of Nanzhong have changed a lot, not to mention how prosperous they are, but at least, today's Nanzhong land is no longer regarded as a barren land, in this regard, Liu Yi is still quite proud in his heart.

"Bo Yuan, what are the chances of winning this Northern Expedition?" Chen Zhi accompanied Liu Yi, looking at the scenery along the way, and he handed over the command of the advance of the troops to those generals in the army, which could be regarded as running in advance.

"Not small." Liu Yi held on to the handrail of the carriage, looked at the scenery that kept receding from his line of sight and said with a smile: "If Cao Pi dies, Cao Wei will be in turmoil internally, but our army is now strong and strong, at its peak, if the news is true, once the troops are dispatched, it will be difficult for Cao Wei to defend, don't forget, the prince has been waiting for seven years for the Northern Expedition in Nanyang." ”

Chen Zhi nodded, the entire military generals under Liu Bei have been preparing for the Northern Expedition all these years, and now once the troops are dispatched, it is the time when the spirit is in full swing, and he can't think of any reason for failure.

"It's just a pity." Chen Zhi sighed and said: "If Cao Cao died back then, our army could have today's momentum, and now I am afraid it would be time to send troops to Guandong instead of the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong." ”

Liu Yi smiled and shook his head, Liu Bei started from scratch, it is not easy to have today's momentum, and if he thinks too much, he will be a little insatiable, if he said so, if he had the ability to do it today, why should he vote for Liu Bei? In today's world, I'm afraid it's a different story.

Of course, Liu Yi will rot in his heart, just think about it, the matter has come to this, how can there be so many ifs?
