From Chengdu to Ba County, it is actually not far. Ba County is the Chongqing area of later generations.

In terms of area, it is still within the middle of Sichuan, about 500 miles.

Liu Yi led more than 5,000 military horses, and after two days and one night of marching, he finally stepped into the Ba County area.

From Ba County to Padang, it is far away, and all the mountain roads are difficult to walk. Liu Yi estimated that there are at least more than 800 miles from Bajun to Badong. But even so, it is much better than crossing the heavy mountains from the Wuling area and through the mountains and forests where there are no roads at all. That, if it wasn't necessary, Liu Yi really didn't want to go to that kind of mountain road again.

In general, if the New Han Army wants to enter Xichuan and unify Yizhou, it must open the road from Badong to Ba County, and as long as Ba County is captured, it can be regarded as truly opening the door to Xichuan.

However, it is not easy.

Zhang Fei, Huang Zu, Long Ge and other generals took Badong by forcibly crossing the mountains two months ago. However, it will not be easy to attack Ba County and take Ba County through the same method. With the lessons learned from the loss of Padang, the Yizhou army has set up light and dark sentinels and closely monitored all places that may allow the New Han army to touch. If the New Han Army still dares to use such a risky method, I am afraid that it will be counterattacked by the Yizhou Army and lose the military horses in vain.

In this way, Zhang Fei, Huang Zu, Long Ge and other generals were blocked in Badong again, and it was difficult to do anything for a while.

Seriously, if you want to force your way along the Yangtze River into Xichuan, it's really, really difficult. Liu Yi would rather lead the army to attack Xichuan from the direction from which he had entered Sichuan. I am also reluctant to go directly along the Yangtze River into Xichuan.

Now that Liu Yi is immersed in the scene, he knows that recovering Yizhou is really not as simple as a sentence. If you don't give an order in Luoyang, the generals below can do it for you right away.

After meeting with Yuan Qing and the others, who were one step forward, Liu Yi also knew that the Yizhou army had already made strict preparations, let alone entering Xichuan, even if he wanted to leave Xichuan, it was not an easy task. It turns out that those must be on the road. There are countless levels, and every pass. all have a relatively independent defensive system, and one husband is the key to ten thousand people.

Liu Yi also had to sigh that Shu Dao is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. It's really not a lie. Without being there, I really don't know how hard it is.

Fortunately, because of Su Xin's report, Liu Yi was able to rush ahead of Liu Bei's army and his fast messenger in time. Yuan Qing and others forcibly touched the customs to open up the road.

In this way, when it came to the Yangtze River. That's easy to do.

Yuan Qing and Yin Xiao collected a lot of boats on the spot, and also temporarily cut down wood instead of bamboo, and built some bamboo rafts, so that 5,000 people and horses, all on the boat or bamboo raft, went straight down the Yangtze River waterway.

Although the waterway of the Yangtze River is also under the control of the Yizhou army, it has not received the order to attack, and the Yizhou army does not dare to rashly deal with this group of men and horses under the banner of the Li Yao tribe. In particular, when encountering the Yizhou army, some people will come forward to negotiate, saying that they are going to Badong to observe the enemy situation of the Xinhan army, under the banner of being an ally with the Yizhou army, so it really fools a lot of Yizhou army.

As for Liu Bei's order to send people to deliver the newspaper and let them stop Liu Yi's army, it has nothing to do with Liu Yi, because Liu Bei's fast newspaper delivery horse has never been able to catch up with the speed of Liu Yi's team.

Of course, Liu Bei's military horses have never been able to catch up with Liu Yi's army.

The march of two days and one night really made Liu Yi's army tired enough, except for the soldiers at the helm, the rest of the soldiers fell asleep after hiding on the boats and bamboo rafts lined up like long snakes. If there is an accident with a shipwreck and a raft, there is a real possibility that these soldiers will be fools.

However, from Bajun to Padang, there is still a relatively gentle waterway hundreds of miles long, of course, this is also quite true, but it is still Jiuqu and Eighteen Bays, but this waterway is not too easy to shipwreck.

Liu Yi believes that in this two or three hundred miles long waterway, let the soldiers have a good rest, and only when they get to the back can they be more energetic.

The boat that Lewi was on was also a small fishing boat.

There was only one cabin on the ship, and he, together with a few women, and a few soldiers who were holding the boat, just took up a small boat.

Liu Yi and his daughters are not ordinary people, so they don't seem too tired, but they are interested in watching the beautiful scenery along the Yangtze River on the deck of the boat.

"Actually, I often come to these places to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and every time, I feel very peaceful. It feels beautiful, and it can make people's hearts feel like they have been washed all over again. Su Xin stood by the boat, as a guide all the way, introducing to Liu Yi the uniqueness of each tributary of the Yangtze River along the river, as well as the beauty of each mountain peak, and then rarely opened his hands, as if to embrace nature, took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Liu Yi and said: "I found that the painting you painted for me that day, the background, is very similar to the mountains and rivers on both sides of the Yangtze River here, and you have also been to these places?" ”

Liu Yi really hasn't been here, even in the previous life, but he has seen it from film and television and some paintings. Therefore, when he painted for Su Xin, the background did refer to the background of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, but he did not paint these places.

But Liu Yi couldn't deny it, and after thinking about it, he said: "There are many landscape paintings, which will use some dangerous peaks as the background, and the banks of the Yangtze River, especially the Three Gorges area, look like the fairy mountains in myths and legends." I think that the plain girl is as beautiful as a fairy, even if she wants to come to the world, there is only such a fairy scene in the world, which is the place where the fairy settles. ”

"It's too prestigious, Su Xin is just a mortal Dao Gu, where is the fairy of what? How can it be called beautiful? Compared to Sister Yin Xiao, Yuan Qing, and Dancing Butterfly, I'm still a little ashamed. Su Xin's face turned red. It seems that he doesn't dare to be Liu Yi's words.

"There are a thousand kinds of flowers, each with its own beauty. Just like my sister Yin Xiao. She is like a moon flower, its flowers from the inside out, rich fragrance, the flower period is long, more and more beautiful, people can't put it down. Sister Yuanqing is like a lily tulip. Cool and moving. Like my butterfly sister, she is like a sunflower facing the sun, lovely and beautiful. "Liu Yi is very literary. If there is something to say, use flowers as a metaphor for these women around him, first said Yin Xiao, Yuan Qing, and Huang Wudie, and then said to Su Xin: "And Su Xin girl is naturally a lotus." Dust. Clear and beautiful but not demonic, Tingting Yuli, pure and pure, do not eat the fireworks of the world. ”

With a snort, Su Xin covered her mouth and chuckled: "Taifu, speaking of which, Su Xin seems to be really a fairy." ”

"In my mind, Miss Suxin is a pure and pure fairy." Liu Yi did not hesitate to express Su Xin's impression in his mind. can be regarded as expressing his love and envy to her again.

"Alas......" Su Xin said faintly: "If only Su Xin was really the fairy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world." However, you don't know, Taifu. Su Xin's identity is one of the principals of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, and the Hundred Flowers Pavilion? But it's the kind of fireworks and willow lane, a place where dirt and dirt are hidden. Su Xin herself is also a vulgar woman who is famous for profit, and she can't be praised by Taifu. ”

"Haha, that's exactly the case, plain heart is like a lotus flower out of the sludge without staining, which is even more precious." Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Hey, that's enough, right? I can't stand you, although Mrs. Ben really looks down on you guys who are so flowery, and they are not satisfied with so many women, but if you like it, you can like it, and you have to say anything about flowers. Mrs. Ben knows the sunflower and lotus, but what kind of flowers are the moon flowers and lily tulips? Mrs. Zhurong was listening to Liu Yi constantly praising Su Xin, that kind of thought, even if she is an emotional idiot, she can see it, but she is always pulling around here, and she never gets to the point, which makes her feel a little impatient, and it seems that Liu Yi has not used flowers to describe her, so she said a little dissatisfied: "Then tell me, what kind of flower is Mrs. Ben?" ”

"You, naturally, are roses, and your enthusiasm is like fire." Liu Yidao: "As for you saying that you don't know these flowers, I will open your eyes in the future." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for that day." Mrs. Zhurong said happily.

"Ahem......" Liu Yi turned to Su Xin affectionately and said: "Su Xin, since you also understand that you are just a mortal woman, then there is no need to talk about becoming a monk." Life is short, how many years of youth are there? I, Levio, really like you. I also have a basic understanding of your situation now, for the time being, no matter what the situation in Yizhou is, it should not be the time to endanger your Lin family. Believe me, it won't be long before my Xinhan army will be able to recover Yizhou. When the time comes, your Lin family will definitely not have any more survival problems. Therefore, if you think that I Liu Yi is worthy of your reliance and entrustment, in your heart, you also think that I am a man worthy of your life. So...... Just marry me, I have no other skills, but I will definitely be able to do it, I will love you all my life, marry me, and you will not be wronged. ”

"I ......" Su Xin's heart jumped sharply, she had never experienced such a direct marriage proposal by a man in her life.

"Hey, you still say that you don't want your family to be wronged? There are so many women, how many do you want my senior sister to be your first wife? I'm surprised, how can you have such a thick skin? Mrs. Zhurong glared at Liu Yi unceremoniously.

At the beginning, Mrs. Zhurong was a little unaccustomed to Liu Yi, the prince of the Li Yao clan who had become the prince of the New Han Dynasty, but now, after getting along with each other for a day and a night, she felt that whether it was A Gui or Liu Yi, the temperament was almost the same, and there was no difference because the title had changed, so she returned to her earlier attitude towards Liu Yi.

Liu Yi saw that Mrs. Zhurong was deliberately ruining his atmosphere, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes helplessly, and said, "What's wrong with me just marrying Su Xin?" She also likes me and doesn't object, so after my New Han Army recovers Yizhou, I will go to see Su Xin's father to propose marriage. How much can you manage? Don't talk about plain hearts, talk about yourself, you bet with me but you lost, you are already my woman. Hmph, ...... tonight"

"You dare!" The more familiar Mrs. Zhurong became with Liu Yi, the less afraid she seemed to be of Liu Yi, and she crossed her waist and said, "Mrs. Ben is waiting for you to come and see what you can do to Mrs. Ben!" ”

"Uh......" Liu Yi was defeated.

"Gege ......"

"Alright, husband, it's getting dark, do you want to keep going? At night, the waterways are not very safe. "Yin Xiao and Yuan Qing and other women have long been accustomed to Liu Yi's methods of dealing with women, so they are not surprised, they all know in their hearts that Su Xin and Zhu Rong may not be able to escape from the palm of this guy's hand. So, he came out to play the round.

"Well, let's take a ferry for the night. Today, it should be a long distance from the Yizhou pursuers. They certainly don't have so many ships to transport their horses at once, and besides, at night, we don't dare to go overnight, and they don't necessarily dare to chase after them overnight. ”

At this time, Liu Yi didn't have to worry too much about being caught up. Now that I have a boat, I can go down the river early tomorrow morning, and it is estimated that I will be able to reach Patong tomorrow.

"That Su Xin ......" Liu Yi was still unsatisfied, and he wanted to settle down with Su Xin as soon as possible. Because when he arrived in Badong, Liu Yi had to return to Dongting Lake Xinzhou immediately and prepare to go to Qu'a.

For the new Han Dynasty, which is now in full swing, Liu Yi feels that the most important thing is to go to Nanyang first and get the sweet potatoes back. This is related to the food guarantee for the rapid development of the Han Dynasty in the future.

In addition, there are the rubber trees of the South Seas. This will also be one of the important materials for the industrial development of the New Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Liu Yi felt that the introduction of these things into the Han Dynasty was a little more important than the current unification of the Han Dynasty.

"Su Xin has written down everything you said. I, I don't know, let's wait until your New Han Army captures Yizhou. Su Xin didn't seem to dare to look at Liu Yi, and together with Zhu Rong, they both got into the cabin.

Liu Yi was in her heart, knowing that Su Xin had agreed to her proposal, what she meant was that after the New Han Army recovered Yizhou, she would wait for Liu Yi to come to the door to propose marriage.

There was only one cabin, and Mrs. Zhurong didn't let Liu Yi enter the cabin together.

At this time, Huang Wudie, who had not yet entered together, walked to Liu Yi's side with a small mouth and said, "Brother Liu Yi, that, don't use sunflowers to describe people in the future, okay?" Although sunflowers are also beautiful, people prefer chrysanthemums. ”

"Ah......h Okay......" Liu Yi naturally knew that chrysanthemums were indeed more beautiful and fragrant than sunflowers, but when he thought of chrysanthemums, he couldn't help but feel a little evil in his heart.

Well, no, Liu Yi's gaze fell on Huang Wudie's buttocks very unnaturally...... (To be continued......)
