"Dongwu has fallen, Dongwu has descended!" In the fifth year of Yanxi, in winter, such a news began to spread throughout the cities of the Han Dynasty, Yueyang, Huangfu, and from a distance, Huang Rong was heard shouting excitedly and rushing in.

"Ahem~" Huang Zhong, who was lying on the hospital bed, coughed violently a few times, and his face began to redden.

"What's the matter, what excitement!" Liu Yi stretched out his hand to support Huang Zhong and help him calm down, while glaring at Huang Rong who rushed in angrily: "You are not young, why are you still babbling." ”

Huang Rong hurriedly bowed his head, he was stationed in the Western Regions for many years, after the Ping Wei, Liu Yi went to Yueyang to prepare to preside over the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge, seeing that Huang Zhong's spirit was not as good as before, so he specially ordered someone to ask the court for his life, let Huang Rong come back, one to take care of Huang Zhong, and the other to start a family.

"Taifu Mo wants to blame him." Huang Zhong patted Liu Yi's hand and said with a smile: "I don't want to be old and decayed in my lifetime, but I can still see the revival of my Han Dynasty, and I have no regrets in this life." ”

"No regrets? It's not even a hundred years old, and there is still a long way to go, and there is still room for development in Dahan! Liu Yi shook his head and smiled: "This world is reunified, it's just the beginning, wait for another ten or twenty years to say that there are no regrets, and see how prosperous my Han will be, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, what Taifu said is very true." Huang Rong nodded again and again.

"Sun Quan surrendered?" Huang Zhong waved his hand and looked at his son.

"No, Sun Quan took many families and people from Eastern Wu to go overseas, I heard that he went to Yizhou, and it was Lu Xun who surrendered, and after Sun Quan left, he surrendered to Brother Zixin, and now he has gone to Chang'an." Huang Rong shook his head and said.

"It's good, it saves a lot of work." Liu Yi groped his chin when he heard the words and said, Yizhou is too late for later generations, it is considered a treasure land, but the Han Dynasty is now in the stage of internal development, and it is not suitable for external expansion, the infrastructure of the Central Plains and Jiangdong has not yet been completed, and the sailing navy is not very mature, and it has not been forced to a desperate situation like Sun Quan, there is no need to go to Yizhou when the navigation technology is not mature, let Sun Quan develop it well, and wait for the Han to have a navy that can cross the sea, and then it is not too late to move the idea of Yizhou.

"But Zixin was ordered to destroy Wu this time, only Lu Xun's words, this credit is not much." Huang Zhong sighed.

"Once the success is done, the bones are dry, can there be no war, and it can be resolved peacefully, what's so bad?" Liu Yi shook his head: "Do you have to get the lives to be ruined?" ”

"It's still too benevolent." Huang Zhong said with a smile.

"The old general said it, I just don't want my unsuccessful son to have much credit at a young age, which may not be a good thing for him." Although Liu Yi said this, the expression on his face was quite proud.

"Hey~ If my son has half the ability of the son, it will make me live for twenty years, and I am willing." Huang Zhong glared at Huang Rong and said with a look of regret.

"Dad, I'm not bad." Huang Rong said speechlessly: "Besides, if you live for twenty years, you may not have it!" ”

", how do you talk?" Liu Yi glared at Huang Rong and said.

"Forgive me, Taifu, this child has been spoiled by me since he was a child, it's not unfilial, it's just that my father and son talk so unscrupulously on weekdays." Huang Zhong hurriedly grabbed Liu Yi and shook his head.

"When I was a child, it was called childlike fun, and now I say it again, it is ignorance, I am a Han who rules the world with filial piety, and filial piety is the first in a hundred lines. Wait for this matter, go to the academy to study for another three years! Liu Yi frowned and looked at Huang Rongdao, although it is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, but this said, not to mention that in today's environment, it is just like what Liu Yi said, even if he says it in private, he also feels a little harsh, this is the way his son talks to Lao Tzu?

When he turned his head to look at Huang Zhong, he saw that Huang Zhong had already fallen asleep.

Alas~

Liu Yi sighed, and after working with Huang Rong to help Huang Zhong lie down, he covered the quilt again before withdrawing from the room.

"What did the healer say?" After leaving the room, Liu Yi pulled Huang Rong and asked.

"Taifu, the doctor said that my father is a heaven and man, it stands to reason that he has a secret injury and can't live to this age, and now, he has come to an end." Huang Rong, who had a heartless face before, had a little crying in his voice at the moment.

"That's how you talk to your dad every day?" Liu Yi sighed, then glared.

"That's what is usually said." Huang Rong nodded.

"Change, in the last days of the old general, let him feel more comfortable." Liu Yi was a little glad that he came, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see Huang Zhong's last side.

"Whoa." Huang Rong wiped away his tears and nodded.

"This is not in the army, and I am not talking about orders!" Liu Yi sighed, patted Huang Rong's shoulder and said, "Don't cry with a sad face, look at the trouble, I'll stay here for the past few days." ”

"Yes!" Huang Rong said worriedly: "Don't delay the Taifu big thing." ”

"The bridge can't be built in a day, there are horses watching over there, I can rest assured." Liu Yi shook his head, and after leaving the Huang Mansion, he silently returned to his residence in Yueyang, although he had not come back for many years, but the home here would be cleaned up by the Yueyang Government Office on a regular basis, and he could live there, but the huge courtyard was empty, and it was a little panicked to live here alone.

For Liu Yi, the biggest advantage of the unification of the world is that he can put aside all the things in the DPRK and China and start to develop infrastructure with peace of mind, establish academies, promote people's livelihood, and promote the development of agriculture, handicrafts and commerce.

The Yangtze River Bridge is located between Jiangxia and Changsha, but this work has a high technical content, not you can do it by recruiting people, and fortunately, the battle to destroy Wei won Ma Jun such a talent gave himself a lot of ideas, if he was alone, he could not design such a bridge across the Yangtze River.

But first of all, we have to do a good job of the steam ship, Liu Yi is now coming to Yueyang, not just to see Huang Zhong, the first steam ship is ready to be cast in Yueyang, the design drawings have been designed with Ma Jun, and now the construction has officially started.

In the following days, in addition to running to the port once a day, Liu Yi stayed in Huang Zhong's Mansion most of the time until the end of the year.

"How dare you bother to be supported by Taifu?" In Huang Zhong's courtyard, Huang Zhong, with Liu Yi's support, sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard, looking at the withered and withered plants in the garden, Huang Zhong sighed.

"I'm tall and not crippled, why can't I help me?" Liu Yi sat opposite Huang Zhong, drank tea, and said with a smile: "Where do you want to go, tell me, I'll find a way for you, you can go wherever you want!" ”

"No, everything that should be going has gone, in this world, I have run most of my life, and now I am tired." Huang Zhong shook his head, looked at the courtyard and said with a smile: "Taifu Ke remembers that when you built this city, there were not many people in this Yueyang, and now that the huge Yueyang has become a hub for the north and south, my courtyard, do you know how much those people bid?" ”

"According to today's market price, it will cost 50 million at least, right?" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"What's enough?" Huang Zhong smiled like a wealth fan at the moment: "This is built by Taifu himself, although it is not big, but the veteran has inquired, there are no elevators in other people's homes, underground granaries, these things, that are designed by Taifu himself, and now this house, as long as the name of Taifu is hung, it is not good to lose 100 million dollars!" ”

"You sold?" Liu Yi looked at Huang Zhongdao.

"That can't, although my Huang family doesn't have much money, but this courtyard is the first one given to me by Taifu. Du, Xiangyang, Jiangling, Hanzhong, Chang'an, and Luoyang have prepared mansions for me, and they are all bigger than here, but here, it is the happiest time for veterans, and it can be sold anywhere, but it can't be here, and after here, it is the ancestral home of my Huang family! Huang Zhonghe shook his head with a smile, then looked at Liu Yi and said: "There are more Taifu over the years, no matter where I go, I have not forgotten my old general, to be honest, I was just a general, I was not afraid that I was old, and recommended me to the first emperor, this kindness, the old man will have to remember in the future." ”

"Don't keep saying these bad things, the days are still long?" Liu Yi shook his head and said, "Let's live until he is a hundred years old first!" ”

"The veteran also thinks, but if it is unified today, Taifu did not let the veteran go to the battlefield before, right, but the world is too peaceful, and my old bones are not needed in this world...... I have no regrets in this life. Huang Zhong said with a smile.

"Sometimes, I wonder if if I hadn't been out of town now, at least I wouldn't have to watch old friends die." Liu Yi sighed and didn't say anything more false.

"That's not good, there is no Huang Zhong in this world, but if there is no commonplace, there will be a lot less exciting, and the Han may not be as prosperous as it is today." Huang Zhong shook his head and smiled.

", in this world, there is no one, the days are the same, everything is empty." Liu Yi looked at the place where the sunset set and said: "Let's go, go to the highest place to see, I remember that my wife and I were here, and what I liked to see the most was the sunset of this Dongting Lake, which was very beautiful, in a blink of an eye, thirty years have passed, I have seen the lonely smoke outside the Saiwai, the turbulence of the Yellow River, and the majesty of the sea, but after walking around, I found that I still like this Dongting evening scene the most." ”

"The veteran dares to disobey!" Huang Zhong stood up tremblingly and bowed to Liu Yi, although his body was rickety, his waist was always straight.

Liu Yi summoned the frame, took Huang Zhong to step on the city wall of Yueyang City, looking at the sunset, the sparkling Dongting Lake, in the shipyard in the distance, the outline of a steel ship has been formed, on the dock, the pedestrians who come and go do not hesitate, and the boats on Dongting Lake are flooded on the lake, which makes people feel peaceful.

Huang Zhong stood beside Liu Yi, watching the beautiful scenery of the sunset, and grinned: "After so many years in Yueyang, the veteran only knows today the beauty of this cave!" ”

"I'll see later." After Liu Yi finished speaking, he didn't answer, and when he turned his head to look, Huang Zhong was already lying silently on the women's wall, closed his eyes, and never opened them again......
