The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and always replace the new peach with old charms.

Although there are no such things as firecrackers in this year, there is still an atmosphere of the New Year. Even if Liu Yi does not attach much importance to this, he is more willing to spend his time on the infrastructure around him. After the first month of the year, he will officially start construction on Ziwu Road. However, Liu Bei obviously did not think so, so he asked Liu Yi to come back from the construction site. At the same time, the recruited craftsmen were also put back to their hometowns and continued to start work after the New Year.

It was at this time that Liu Yi really saw Zhuge Liang's letter.

"So that..." Liu Yi blinked his eyes and looked at Pang Tong and said, "Are we wrong?"

"That may not be!" Pang Tong shook his head and looked at Liu Yi with a smile and said, "Kong Ming is just making the worst plan. In fact, you have always been similar to Kong Ming. This time you can offer a plan to attack Hanzhong first, but it is a little different from the past. Although this matter has disadvantages, it may not be unfavorable. Our army and Sun Quan are still in an alliance after all, so Sun Quan may not really tear the alliance. Besides, Jingzhou is well-defended, so there is no need to worry. The only thing you are worried about now is Cao Cao."

There are advantages and disadvantages in everything. There is no plan in the world that has the best of both worlds. What can be done is to make up for the disadvantages after making a choice. Although Zhuge Liang opposed this matter, what he is doing now revolves around Hanzhong?

First, he frequently sent people to Jiangdong to make friends with Jiangdong. At the same time, he asked Guan Yu to station troops in Danyang and threatened Xiangfan, but Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun stayed in Yueyang and Changsha. Even if Sun Quan really attacked, he might not be able to get benefits.

The only thing I worry about now is whether the Hanzhong that I just ate can become the foundation for Liu Bei to attack Shu. Therefore, Zhuge Liang's suggestion was to ensure stability in the rear and take Yizhou as soon as possible. As for how to take it, Zhuge Liang did not say that Pang Tong was here to make suggestions, and Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da were also inside Shuzhong. Liu Bei himself now has 100,000 troops in his hands. If he rushes his troops into Shu, Jiameng Pass will also be in control, which means that he has opened the door to Shuzhong. Anyway, Zhuge Liang could not think of any reason for Liu Bei to fail.

"Yes, how can Cao Cao deal with it?" Liu Yi nodded and looked at Pang Tong and asked. If Liu Bei attacked Yizhou next, he would definitely gather all his strength to fight. If Cao Cao came to attack at this time, it would be difficult to defend if there were few soldiers in Hanzhong.

"Hey, now the lord's hands are half of the troops and horses in Shuzhong and Hanzhong. If you use the Shu army, when using the troops, you may be afraid that the army will mutiny and attack Shuzhong, and there is no need for a hundred thousand troops. According to my wishes, the soldiers of Hanzhong can be transferred to the south to Yizhou with the lord. The soldiers and horses of Shuzhong will be used to defend Hanzhong. Two generals Yu Boyuan are left. You only need to defend a few checkpoints and defend until the lord's capture of Yizhou. When the Cao army sees that he is unable to capture Hanzhong, he will naturally withdraw his troops."

"Wait, me?" Liu Yi looked at Pang Tong with a look of surprise. Why did this really touch him? Didn't he say that he could just focus on construction?

"Tong and his lord Nanzheng, Guan Ping, Liu Feng, Zhuo Ying and others will follow the army. The lords will leave Wei Yan and Huang Zhong to Bo Yuan to dispatch, plus 50,000 Shu troops. With Bo Yuan's ability, it is no problem to defend the enemy." Pang Tong nodded seriously and looked at Liu Yi and said, "If it weren't for Bo Yuan, there were not many people available to the lord now. Please do not refuse."

Among the generals of this army, there were generals such as Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Guan Ping, Liu Feng, Zhuo Ying, and Huo Jun. In addition, Zhang Wei and Yang Ren, who had just surrendered with Zhang Lu, were only Liu Yi and Pang Tong who had the qualifications, identity and prestige to take charge of Liu Bei. Pang Tong wanted to take the army to give advice to Liu Bei and the candidates to take charge of the rear were naturally Liu Yi.

As for Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Guan Ping, and Liu Feng, they either lack qualifications or lack prestige. In this way, they can be regarded as someone trusted by Liu Bei, which feels good.

After sighing slightly, Liu Yi nodded with a wry smile: "Okay, I'm just taking this opportunity to rectify Hanzhong."

The first round of infrastructure construction in Hanzhong has been completed. In addition to road construction, Liu Yi is planning to add a few more levels. First of all, the Ziwu Road must be set up. Otherwise, if the road is repaired by himself, Cao's army will have no place to make sense when entering here. In addition, Shangyong and Fangling Road should also be repaired.

Seeing Liu Yi's agreement, Pang Tong smiled and handed another letter to Liu Yi.

"What is this?" Liu Yi looked at Pang Tong and said in surprise.

"Liu Zhang's letters are also the righteousness of our army's march into Shu." Pang Tong said with a smile.

When Liu Yi heard this, he opened the letter and looked quickly. The general meaning was to congratulate Liu Bei on conquering Hanzhong first. However, since he had captured Hanzhong, the troops he had given to Liu Bei should be back. In addition, Zhang Lu was a traitor in Shu. Liu Zhang hoped that Liu Bei could send Zhang Lu back to Cheng, and the capital would be handed over to Liu Zhang to depart.

this……

Liu Yi frowned, feeling that Liu Zhang was causing trouble. Even if Liu Bei had no intention of seizing Yizhou, Cao Cao had already begun to deploy Hanzhong. At this time, he had to draw back his troops. Wouldn't he put Liu Bei on the stove and roast it? As for Zhang Lu, it would be even more impossible to send it to Liu Zhang. Not to mention that when he surrendered, Zhang Lu clearly stated that he would surrender to Liu Bei and not surrender to Zhang Lu. Now, nominally or in fact, Zhang Lu is a minister of Liu Bei, and Liu Zhang has no right to deal with it. Even if there is no such thing, Liu Bei would never send Zhang Lu back, otherwise who would dare to surrender to Liu Bei in the future?

"What do you say about the lord?" Liu Yi put down the letter and looked at Pang Tong and asked.

"Of course, the soldiers cannot be returned, but this letter has been read to Zhang Lu, and it is clear that he will definitely protect Zhang Lu for good reason. Please don't worry," Pang Tong said with a smile.

"Awesome, why worry about the Hanzhong soldiers not having to live?" Liu Yi smiled and said, obviously it was a heart-wrenching person, but Zhang Lu couldn't help but cry. After all, Zhang Lu doesn't have the ability to resist Liu Bei now, but Liu Bei still keeps his promise. This is enough for Zhang Lu, who is in a weak position, to let him put aside everything and help Liu Bei with all his strength.

It sounds simple, but if you can really do this, looking at the world, I'm afraid only Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan have the ability.

"That's true, I just don't know how Bo Yuan stayed in Hanzhong and would defend him?" Pang Tong asked with a smile, still a little worried about Liu Yi.

"Each person does his own duties, I am not good at military strategy. Shi Yuan should know that Wei Yan will continue to station in Yangping Pass, and Han Sheng will be in charge of Shangyong. I will continue to carry out construction. If possible, it is better for the lord to give me a general. I will transfer Han Sheng back and be responsible for training sergeants on weekdays. If the war is tight, support the two places at any time and set up more beacon towers. When the enemy comes, a wave of smoke will burn. If the war is tight, two beacon fires will burn. It's probably like this. They have the final say on how to fight." Liu Yi thought for a while.

Including the past, Liu Yi would not directly manage the army, but instead let his generals take charge. Liu Yi was responsible for some damage, and most of the time he was responsible for logistics allocation.

"If it doesn't work, then change it." Looking at Pang Tong, Liu Yi smiled and said, "I just had three tricks, if it's not enough, I can't do anything about it."

"Enough!" Pang Tong nodded with a smile: "No wonder you could easily sweep the four counties in Jingnan."

What I fear most in this marching war is that the generals pretend to understand and show off their abilities if they don’t know anything. They need to know that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Although Liu Yi is above military strategy and has limited ability, he is willing to delegate power, and is also good at delegating power. He can convince the generals under his command and meet these three points. Liu Yi is already qualified to become a qualified commander.

"The main reason is that they can relieve me of my worries." Liu Yi smiled. If his subordinates were not Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Guan Ping, and Liu Feng with outstanding abilities, you can try a few Yang Bai's like to Liu Yi, and the entire army will be wiped out in minutes.

Simply put, if Liu Yi is given a few generals with outstanding abilities, not to mention super gods, but Liu Yi can maximize the advantages of these people. But if there are no strong generals, marching and setting up formations, and placing troops on the battlefield, and everything is up to Liu Yi, sorry, it is a miracle to be able to save his life.

This is somewhat similar to the monarch, but it is different.

Pang Tong laughed and nodded, "Okay, you and I will go to the lord to discuss this matter later, and I will leave you a general."

"My lord is very busy now?" Liu Yi said a little surprised.

"Well, during the New Year Festival, there are many people visiting. The lord is now busy with social engagements." Pang Tong nodded helplessly. Now Liu Bei is the new master of Hanzhong. Although the Hanzhong scholars are not as powerful as those of the Central Plains and Jingzhou, they also need to be taken care of.

Liu Yi nodded, but almost forgot about this. There is no hurry to do this. Now there are only signs. If you send troops, it will probably take some time. As long as Liu Bei goes to the expedition, he will be fine. He remembers that during this period in history, Cao Cao seemed to have attacked Dongwu once, but why has there been no news yet? It won’t be ruined because of the Hanzhong incident?

The facts were similar to what Liu Yi thought. If it were not for Liu Bei to capture Hanzhong and Zhang Lu's request for help, Cao Cao did intend to go south once, but Zhang Lu asked for help, and then Liu Bei quickly took Hanzhong, which made Cao Cao feel a sense of crisis. He originally planned to become the current Western Expedition, and Sun Quan's attitude was quite ambiguous. Although he did not take the initiative to attack, he only agreed verbally in the face of Zhuge Liang's letter asking to take advantage of the situation to attack the Jianghuai land, but he had no intention of sending troops.

Liu Yi, the little butterfly, seems to have begun to affect historical events.
