Fighting for hegemony in the world needs to win people, it needs to be carefully planned, and it is necessary for the superior to keep a cool head at any time, and it is better to be able to become a hegemon throughout the ages, but there is another thing that is absolutely indispensable, although such things are invisible and intangible, but they also have a pivotal role, and sometimes even more important than the previous items combined, that is, luck! Throughout the course of those founding monarchs to seize the world, luck has always accompanied them, so that they can maintain a glimmer of life even when they are at the end of the road, the ancient people interpreted it as the destiny of heaven, and the modern people understand it as a part of strength, no matter how it is interpreted and understood, it is real.

Take Liu Yi's journey from the wolf king of the mountains and forests to the current king of the Han Yan, he is also accompanied by luck all the time, and at this moment among the three heroes in the south, the one who takes the most care of luck is obviously Liu Bei. The agreement of the Jianchang Alliance made him have a stable Yangzhou that was better than another time and space, and Liu Xuande, who had been unknown since the beginning of the crusade against the Yellow Turban, had only now had the qualification to be regarded as the hero of the world, and he was the one who had expanded his strength the fastest in recent years.

Today's Liu Xuande is no longer the cramped person in Xuzhou, the land of the four wars, and has a stable strategic base while getting a large number of outstanding talents, and he has become the most powerful prince since Liu Yi and Cao Cao, and at this time he still has a lot of potential to explore, and he will definitely have a place in the future competition for dominance!

However, for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the achievements in front of them are not gratifying, if they want to really have the strength to forge ahead in the world, in addition to constantly developing themselves, they also need an important opportunity, that is, Liu Yi and Cao Cao's duel, if Liu Langsheng can successfully defeat his face-to-face rival, even if Liu Bei develops, it will be difficult to resist it, but once Liu Yi, who is recuperating, is defeated by Cao Cao or cannot take it and suffers heavy losses, it will be Liu Bei's best time. Therefore, in Zhuge Liang's strategy, Yangzhou must not sit idly by and watch Cao Cao be defeated by Liu Yi, it will be a real death! Whether you can get enough real profit in the duel between the two is also the key!

Liu Yi also saw the same situation very clearly, as early as when he made up his mind to support Liu Bei and Sun Ce to compete for Yangzhou, he was ready for this, if you want to say that the accident is the like-mindedness of Wolong and Jing Xiang, which makes Liu Bei's strength at this time exceed Liu Yi's expectations, compared to Sun Ce's Yangzhou at this time, it can bring him great trouble, and this trouble is caused by him, but it can never be said that Liu Yi made a mistake. At this time, at that time, whether it is the affairs of the military family or the general trend of the world, it is an inevitable choice to support Liu Bei that day, and Liu Yi is certainly ready to deal with the current situation!

No matter how powerful Liu Bei is, the initiative of the current situation is still firmly controlled in the hands of King Yan, there is only one premise, that is, he is not wrong, and he cannot fail in major battles, which Liu Yi has seen clearly after taking Yuan Shao, the biggest purpose of the two-year strategy is for this, he wants to use his strong strength to make steady progress and crush the three heroes in the south one by one!

It is the height of summer in July, this year's Peking is particularly hot, but in Liu Yi's study is cool, the four corners of the study have exquisite wooden troughs, their role is to store ice, one side of the wooden trough is similar to the design of shutters, bursts of cold air from it in the study without the maid to fan is also extremely cool, this kind of wooden trough family is called "cool box" and the folk call him "not hot", at this time in Liu Yi's subordinate territory has been popularized, The difference is only in the size of the shape and the height of the wood, with the prosperity of agriculture and commerce, the people of the Shi clan are gradually getting richer, and they also have the energy to pursue some enjoyment of life, of course, when it comes to the degree, the former is naturally above the latter, which cannot be changed.

Nowadays, in the states of Youzhou, both the people and the scholars have exquisite or rough cellars to store some ice, in the cold north, in winter, ice is the most ubiquitous resource, it can not only be used for the cool and diet in the hot summer, but also has great benefits for storing food. And in the Yanwang Mansion, the cellar is even more comprehensive, not only exquisite guards but also strict, where can there be all the accounts of the caravan of the Liu family's rich rival country and some rare treasures from all over the world, one of which is a pigeon-egg-sized night pearl is even more rare, of course, Liu Yi is not much interested in these, everything is free Cai Yan to take care of.

In King Yan's study, as a conspicuous furnishing is the huge desk with a length of three zhang and a width of nearly one zhang, which is twice as large as the one in the office of the president of Liu Yi's later generation.

In this era, there is no computer, and the so-called sweat cow is also a common thing, but although Liu Yi's desk is more placed, there is only a sense of clutter, in the study of King Yan, there are as many as seventeen officials who specialize in managing these documents, they all have a detailed division of labor, some have to be responsible for Youzhou, some have to be responsible for Sizhou, some have to be responsible for military affairs, some have to be responsible for political affairs, and of course, there are people in Tian'er who specialize in taking care of information for King Yan, this is a quite capable team, and their loyalty has also been tested countless times, dealing with Yanwang documents is a heavy responsibility!

The military intelligence and political reports on the desk are now all written on Liu Lang paper, which greatly reduces the difficulty of Liu Yi's reading, otherwise if you still use bamboo slips, even if you have Lang Sheng's extraordinary physical strength at the end of the day, you will have a sense of fatigue at the end of the day, and the improvement of Liu Lang paper has been in progress during this time, and these are special papers on the desk of Yan Wang, which can not be found on the market, and a closer look at some of the handwriting is from the hands of printing!

In ancient times, printing technology was divided into engraving printing and movable type printing, the former was mostly used to print scriptures and other projects with fixed content, Liu Yi used the latter in his study and the state capitals, although there are still all kinds of slight flaws but it will not affect the reading, speaking of this change has to mention one of the utensils, this person is a deep craftsman, but also a white ink people, named Yun Qi, it is his use of clay firing movable type to make printing can become clearer and more convenient, Of course, at present, this technology still needs to be continuously improved and experimented, and it is only used in state-level institutions, and there is still a long way to go before it is popularized!

But whether it is Liu Lang's paper or printing technology has greatly improved the efficiency of the state capital and various departments of the imperial court, but also made the transmission of information faster, they issued to the states and counties of the documents and notices do not need to be exceeded, and the saved part of the energy can be better used in the work, Liu Yi will be his later experience in managing large enterprises and the way of the present world combined into the officialdom, in order to maximize efficiency!

Leaning on the back of the chair, Liu Yi's eyes were slightly closed, a pair of sword eyebrows were frowning, as if he had encountered something troublesome, this can only be found on the bookcase, on his left hand is a copy of the Yan Army's army information, which lists the detailed number of each army and the rationing of ordnance and equipment, now it has been a year and a half since the meeting of Beiping, and the personnel supply and reorganization of each army are almost completed, except for the Tiger Guards of Jun Yi, the rest are fully manned!

Zhang He's Tiger Guard Army sits in Youzhou, guarding Kyoto and key points such as horse farms and equipment, but because Youzhou is the most stable, it ranks last among all the armies, plus the Tiger Guard soldiers led by Gao Ran in the Battle of Sizhou paid a great price to stop the Han and Zhang coalition forces, this time Tingxuan served as the commander of the Wind Army and took away a lot of elites from Zhang He to make the Tiger Guard have the current situation! Jun Yi naturally found a drama military master and even King Yan himself for this matter, but Liu Yi only had one sentence to leave him speechless. "Don't you want to come and be known as the first strong army of the Yan Army? The first strong army will have to bear the greatest difficulties, and its combat power must not decline in the slightest! ”

The fact that King Yan personally called the Tiger Guards the first strong army was obviously the supreme glory of Zhang He and even the entire Tiger Guards, how could he continue to care about this matter? Moreover, Jun Yi has always been an excellent general with an excellent view of the overall situation, although the Tiger Guard Army can bear the responsibility in the rear at this time, it will never lose to the front-line armies, so he is even more buried in his head to train the soldiers, the Tiger Guard Army as Liu Yi's trump card is impossible to stay in Youzhou forever, once the war starts, he will lead his soldiers to fight hard, with undoubted military merits to keep the honor of the first strong army in the army.

Liu Yi did not conceal this news but deliberately spread it, his intentions were naturally extremely obvious, stimulating the commanders of the rest of the armies, sure enough, after learning the news, the morale of the training of the armies was extremely high, the record of the Tiger Guard Army in the past two years is known to all, and every battle is the heaviest responsibility and the greatest loss, and it is not partial! It is possible to achieve this point of commanding the Yan Army and even the world's famous generals, like Xu Gongming, Zhang Wenyuan, Gao Jingfang, Taishi Ziyi and other generations, how can they sit back and watch Zhang He keep taking this title that represents the highest honor of the Yan Army as his own? Don't talk about them, even the commander of the two new armies, Ju Yi Gaolan, is also secretly gearing up! must live up to the trust of the lord in the future war, and the only one who may have a slightly weaker reputation in the Eighth Army is Zhang Yan, the commander of the Yellow Shirt Army!

At present, all the equipment of these main infantry troops has been put in place, and their comprehensive strength has been further enhanced compared to before, especially the tactics of the cavalry of the battalion of 3,000 people can make the tactics of each army more changeable, in fact, generals like Zhang Wenyuan and Xu Gongming are very good at commanding the cavalry, and they attach more importance to the newly established cavalry battalion under their command, and put forward the slogan of keeping up with the combat strength of the iron cavalry battalion! And this point has triggered a training frenzy in the iron cavalry battalion, as a professional soldier, if their combat strength is caught up by the cavalry battalion in the infantry army, I am afraid that they will not be able to hang on anyone's face!

And next to the Tiger Guards on Liu Lang's paper, there is a note written by Liu Yi himself, Jizhou will be the next target of the Tiger Guards, and in the Yanzhou strategy planned by the Heavenly Wolf for King Yan, it is necessary to send troops from Sizhou and Jizhou at the same time, and the elite of the Yan Army will naturally be used here! As for the current gap in the Tiger Guard, it is not difficult to solve, Liu Yi can directly deploy it from his direct corps to make up for it, and the second battalion of the Vermilion Bird White Tiger will also follow the Tiger Guard to Jizhou to be deployed by Zhao Yun, in addition, on the day of the army's departure, Wei Yan, the commander of the pro-guard battalion, will also be appointed by Liu Yi as the captain of one of the armies of the Tiger Guard, so that he can hone his sharpness in the confrontation with a strong enemy!

Youzhou horse farm, the guard of the equipment will be handed over to the Qinglong Xuanwu second battalion to take over, the guard battalion and the forbidden army will guard Beiping, this is Lang Sheng's deployment in the army, all the armies will arrive at the designated position in March before the start of the campaign, this battle Liu Yi has been planning for a long time, if you don't shoot, you will be the top of Mount Tai! I have to hold the breath in my chest for two years.

Obviously, the progress of the Yan army is very smooth, it is not this matter that makes Lang Sheng frown, but on the Liu Lang paper in his right hand is the joint signature of the third brother Zhao Yun and Tian Yu, how could Ji Ming go to Jizhou? The reason is in the content of the paper, continuous heavy rain, unstable rivers!
