Jiangling.

"Yuting Marquis, here~" Zhou Cang came out of Guan Yu's camp and ran to Liu Yi and grinned.

Liu Yi arranged the academy affairs and rode a boat to Jiangling. Liu Yi himself didn't know what to do, but since Zhuge Liang had noticed the danger, Liu Yi felt that he would be more safe to come to Guan Yu. Jingnan had already arranged it almost and had known Zhao Yun. As for Liu Bei's reply, he would not be able to wait for a while, so he planned to come to Guan Yu to take a look first.

Although I came all the way from Wolonggang, Liu Yi was not very familiar with Nanjun. I just walked around when the counties were building temples. How to set up defenses? Liu Yi has no outline yet. I have to read it carefully before talking about it.

"Thank you, General." Liu Yi nodded with a smile and followed Zhou Cang to the military camp.

"Why are you polite to me?" Zhou Cang waved his hand quickly, joking. Although Liu Yi was the prefect of Yueyang, he still had the title of great craftsman, General Annan, and Marquis of Yuting, and his official title was not inferior to Guan Yu at all. Zhou Cang dared not accept Liu Yi's politeness.

What's more, Liu Yi and Guan Yu have a good relationship. Before Guan Yu heard that Liu Yi came, did he just ask him to come and pick him up without saying a word?

Zhou Cang was Guan Yu's confidant general. Even if it was Ma Liang and Yi Ji and other famous scholars came to visit, Guan Yu rarely asked Zhou Cang to greet him, which was enough to show Guan Yu's attitude towards Liu Yi.

"June is training troops?" Liu Yi didn't say much, just asked.

Guan Yu was named the general of the bandit. Theoretically, the affairs of Jingzhou were not fully in charge, but in fact, at least the military of Jingzhou was captured by Guan Yu. As for the state governor or the governor, Liu Bei was not granted. Now Liu Bei still has both provincial governors, so the political affairs were not handled by Guan Yu. Before, Zhuge Liang was responsible, but now Ma Liang, Yi Ji and others handled them together. So in fact, Guan Yu is the supreme leader of Jingzhou.

"Yes, since the Marquis Ting and the Lord entered Shu, the Marquis Jun trained the soldiers of the three armies day and night, ready to support the Lord at any time." When Zhou Cang said this, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration. He was a die-hard fan of Guan Yu, and his loyalty to Guan Yu was beyond doubt.

"No wonder I see that the soldiers in Jingzhou are more calm than they were back then." Liu Yi responded with a smile. Along the way, I can indeed feel that the spirit of the soldiers in Jingzhou is much stronger than when they occupied Jingzhou. In terms of commanding and training, Guan Yu's ability is not bad. A northerner was able to command the navy for the first time when he arrived in Jingzhou, but he was not even worse than a professional navy general like Wenpin. This talent is probably not many people in the world who can have this kind of talent.

"In fact, when Cao Ren was urging troops to attack Shangyong, if it were not for the military advisors to block it, he would have already attacked Xiangyang at that time." Zhou Cang added regretfully.

"At that time, our army started a war with Liu Zhang and Cao Cao at the same time. Kong Ming was also worried that once the king went north, the rear would be empty." Liu Yi shook his head. Kong Ming was not wrong. Even if Liu Bei and the two states of the country have increased their power, they were just protecting themselves. If they want to capture Cao Cao, they still had to join forces with Sun Quan. Of course, if Liu Bei could take over Guanzhong, the result would be different. The situation in the Three Kingdoms would be more complicated.

From Sun Quan's standpoint, even if it is conquered, it is difficult to defend the Jianghuai area even if it is conquered. It is obviously better to take Jingzhou. The reason why Liu Yi was worried is precisely because of this. Even though there are many differences with history now, Jingzhou was not borrowed, but was actually defeated. However, for Sun Quan, the development towards Jingzhou is obviously more beneficial than the development towards Xuzhou and Jianghuai area.

"It's just that the Jiangdong people are quite unhappy." Zhou Cang curled his lips. Now that Jiangxia is occupied by Jiangdong, Guan Yu guards Nanjun, and the two sides are adjacent to each other, friction is naturally indispensable.

Both sides dislike each other. If Lu Su and Zhuge Liang were not suppressed, they might not be able to maintain the current superficial friendship.

When Liu Yi heard this, he frowned, but did not say anything. This kind of thing could not be explained clearly to Zhou Cang.

As the two of them spoke, they came all the way to Guan Yu's Central Army camp.

"How could Bo Yuan have the time to come to Jiangling?" Guan Yu asked with a smile when he saw Liu Yi.

"It has been months since I came back. Yi is not very good at internal affairs, but he is not good at white-collar workers' salaries. He came to Jiangling to see if there is any place that needs repair?" Liu Yi smiled. Some things did not happen, and no one believed them. Guan Yu was a proud person. If he had preached Guan Yu as soon as he came, he would probably not have a good face even if he didn't chase people away.

"Boyuan came just right. I heard that Boyuan had built a unique siege equipment in Luo County to help his brother break the city. I wonder if he could build some here too?" Guan Yu smiled when he heard this. He was now taking stock of his troops and thinking about how to capture Xiangyang in the shortest time to support the war in Hanzhong. He had personally experienced the warships designed and built by Liu Yi. If Liu Yi was willing to help him, the chances of victory would be greatly improved.

"The siege wall is too bulky and not suitable for movement. Moreover, Luo County was already surrounded and the moat was also filled. Only by siege walls could it be easily reached under the city. Now it is done, and it is not easy to send it to Xiangyang." Liu Yi smiled and shook his head. He did not directly oppose the attack on Xiangyang, but siege walls must be adapted to local conditions and have great limitations.

If it weren't for the fortifications outside Luo County, Liu Bei wouldn't be able to get close to the city wall so easily. You know, before Liu Yi arrived in Luo County, Liu Bei had been besieging Luo County for more than half a year.

When Guan Yu heard this, he nodded silently and said, "I wonder if Bo Yuan can build some armor?"

After Liu Yi left, although the armor produced by Tiangongfang was good and better than the ordinary ones, Liu Yi personally led the team to create the real excellent armor.

"This is not difficult. Yi came here this time for this. After all, the materials on Tiangongfang are limited, and there is no extra effort to fight too many soldiers. This time, I hope that each county can distribute some iron, bamboo, wood, animal tendons and other things to Tiangongfang to produce more soldiers." Liu Yi said with a smile.

Tiangongfang is not short of money, but the materials are lacking. The inventory of Yueyang County and Changsha County cannot be supplied. On weekdays, people come to build weapons, and these private jobs come with their own materials. Liu Yi wanted to create a large number of weapons and armor for Zhao Yun this time, but the materials are indeed not that much. So this time, in addition to Guan Yu's tone, he also came to ask for things.

"This is not difficult. There are many iron ingots and bamboos in the treasury. Later, I asked Zhou Cang to lead people to Yueyang." Guan Yu said indifferently: "If you want to attack the city equipment..."

"You can do it here. Yi came here to build some cities along the riverside area, and the siege equipment was just done together."

"City?" Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, but understood Liu Yi's purpose, and frowned and said, "Kong Ming had set up a beacon tower along the river before, so why bother to do this?"

Liu Yi had seen the beacon tower set up by Zhuge Liang. Every ten miles, he almost surrounded the Nanjun area. Once the enemy attacked, the beacon tower was smoked and the side could quickly detect it.

"There is a lot of fog on the surface of this river. If it is a fog that fills the river and someone attacks the foggy weather, the beacon tower may not be useful. Building a few more cities can also provide more insurance." Liu Yi shook his head and expressed his point of view. The beacon tower built by Zhuge Liang is still different from what he built.

Guan Yu pondered without saying a word, and then shook his head for a moment, "I will discuss this matter again, so Bo Yuan should do the siege equipment first."

"June is preparing to attack Xiangyang?" Liu Yi looked at Guan Yu and asked.

"Well, according to the Ma Lai report, Xiangyang is now empty, and the two cities of Xiangfan are only 5,000 troops. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of the situation to attack." Guan Yu nodded and did not hide it.

"Have you ever thought about how Jiangdong would deal with it if he took advantage of the attack on Jun and Hou's troops?" Liu Yi asked.

When Guan Yu heard this, he smiled and handed a letter to Liu Yi and said, "Look at Bo Yuan."

Liu Yi took the bamboo slips and opened them to take a look. Lu Su was seriously ill and was now at home. This letter was written by Lu Su. I hope Guan Yu can consider the alliance between the two families. During his illness, he should not cause trouble. If there is any dispute, he can wait until Lu Su recovers from illness before making any mistakes.

"Zi Jing is ill, but Sun Quan actually asked Lu Meng's younger brother to serve as the governor." Guan Yu shook his head and sneered: "No one is available in Jiangdong!"

Lu Meng?

Liu Yi is now 100% sure that Jiangdong is going to cause trouble. He looked at Guan Yu and said, "I heard that Lu Meng has made many military achievements in recent years, so he should not be underestimated!"

There were some interactions with Lu Meng back then. At that time, Lu Meng was indeed like a reckless man, but the saying that should be treated with admiration for three days should be seen as the saying goes from Lu Meng, right?

Five years have passed since the Battle of Red Cliff, is Lu Meng still the Lu Meng the same one?

"Boyuan looked too high at him." Guan Yu shook his head, with a look of contempt: "Since Zhou Gongjin left, there have been no heroes in Jiangdong. Now Zi Jing is ill, why worry?"

Liu Yi frowned and was about to say something else, but he saw a personal guard coming in and bowed and said, "Mr., the Lord of Mifu has sent the food and grass to him and is waiting outside the camp."

"Let him go back." Guan Yu waved his hand and said directly.

The Lord of Mi Fu is Mi Fang, who is now the prefect of Nanjun and is in charge of Jiangling.

"Mr., I have been following the minister of the lord for a long time, why are you so slow?" Liu Yi frowned. Although he had no friendship with Mi Fang, he had a good relationship with Mi Zhu. Putting aside these things, the current status of the Mi family can be considered a royal relative to Liu Bei. He personally escorted food and grass, but Guan Yu didn't even meet him and sent him away.

"Boyuan doesn't have to pay attention to him." Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "I have ordered someone to hold a banquet for you. I will see him in Jiangling later. As the prefect of a county, why do you have to do such a small thing in person?"
