"General, these are all the household registration and other files of Guiyang County." The group walked into the yamen office, and Zhao Fan held a roll of bamboo slips onto the table with a smile, and said to Liu Yi.

"Wow~ Zhao Fujun is very strong, all the files are here?" Liu Yi glanced at Zhao Fan in surprise. The dozens of bamboo slips are quite weighty.

"The general laughed. The people of Guiyang County are poor, and all the files are all." Zhao Fan replied with a smile. His smile was quite honest, giving people a feeling that it was easy to get close to.

"It's really not much. Thank you for your hard work. Let's go down and rest first. Let's talk about these files after I finish reading these files." Liu Yi nodded, looking at the piles of piles, but the content of the bamboo slips is limited. It takes about two or three days to finish reading this table.

"General, this Guiyang gentry has long heard of the reputation of the general. Today, he has already held a banquet in the Xiaguan Mansion. I wonder if the general has free time today?" Zhao Fan did not rush to leave, but bowed to Liu Yi.

"I'm afraid it won't work today. Let's go in a few days." Liu Yi shook his head. The gentry of Guiyang still wants to meet, but he is not in a hurry. At least he has to wait for him to sort out the matter in Guiyang. In fact, it's best that Liu Bei sends someone to take over. He is a little annoyed about these messy government affairs. Now he just wants to take a good rest for a while, then create his own model, and then devote himself to the great cause of building a city.

"Look, then the official will go and dismiss them and come again after a while." Zhao Fan was not disappointed, and smiled and bowed to Liu Yi, saying goodbye and left.

He is quite good at being a human being.

Looking at the direction where Zhao Fan left, Liu Yi shook his head. Now he wanted to wait for Liu Bei's reply before saying that. For the moment, let's take a look at Guiyang's situation first.

Changsha has a population of 130,000, Wuling has a population of 110,000, and Lingling has a population of 170,000. Now, the population of Guiyang is probably only about 100,000. The total population of the four counties in Jingnan is only more than 500,000. As far as Liu Yi knows, the population of Xiangyang alone is more than 400,000. The population of the entire Nanjun is probably several times that of the four counties in Jingnan. No wonder Liu Bei is not very concerned about this, but this does not mean that the four counties in Jingnan are not important. On the contrary, in Liu Yi's view, these four counties are very small and have huge potential, so he wants to ask Liu Bei for the development of the four counties in Jingnan. Well, there is still money to develop these four counties.

With my current level, only Jiancheng can improve his level faster.

Liu Yi has become idle, but Liu Bei has a headache in Jiangling.

After Zhou Yu or Sun Quan saw that Jiangling was taken down by Liu Bei, it was difficult for him to force Jiangling to be forced. After all, he had already agreed to take the battle before the war and would be who would be who, and Zhou Yu did not expect that Liu Bei would be able to defeat Cao Ren in two days.

But the benefits are still needed. Whether Sun Quan or Zhou Yu was willing to give up Jiangxia, they were at least satisfied on the surface. However, when it comes to Jingling, the two sides could not be unified. It was mainly because Zhou Yu insisted that since Jingling was the governing land of Jiangxia, it must return to Jiangdong.

But Mocheng was in Jingling, so Liu Bei was naturally unwilling to give up. Instead of saying that he was unwilling to compromise on the Jingling issue, Zhou Yu had already thought about Liu Yi.

Judging from the detailed information about Cao Ren's retreat this time, Liu Bei's equipment was obviously better than Cao Ren, and there were many warships that could fire stone bombs in the water. Jiangdong was famous for its navy and its shipbuilding skills were also the best in the world, but no one could build such warships. Zhou Yu naturally hoped to win Liu Yi to Jiangdong to build military equipment for Jiangdong.

Moreover, after Liu Yi left, Tiangongfang in Mocheng was still selling various products, but he did not produce weapons and armor, but mainly sold some furniture and agricultural tools. After Zhou Yu secretly bought some, he was even more amazed by Liu Yi's ability and wanted to recruit Liu Yi to Jiangdong.

Liu Bei naturally didn't want to do this kind of thing to kill chickens and get eggs, so he gave Liu Yi to Jiangdong. If Jiangdong turned around and attacked him in the future, with the weapons and armor provided by Liu Yi, and Jiangdong was already stronger than Liu Bei, then does Liu Bei still have a way out?

However, Jiangdong is now in a strong situation, and Liu Bei himself took Jiangling, which is equivalent to taking advantage of Jiangdong. He can't negotiate with Zhou Yu so he can only argue with Zhou Yu.

"Kong Ming, what should we do about this?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang beside him and said with a wry smile. Mo Cheng must not give in.

"Yi Liang, since Zhou Lang wants to Jingling, then give it to him." Zhuge Liang shook the fan and said with a smile.

"But Mocheng..." Liu Bei frowned and looked at Zhuge Liang and gave it to Jiangdong. Will Liu Yi be dissatisfied?

"My lord, don't forget. Cao Cao attacked Mo City that day but failed, so he issued an edict to establish Mo County." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Mo County belongs to Nanjun. The lord can be bounded with Jiangdong with Tianmen Mountain."

At that time, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Le Jin defeated Mocheng, and Cao Cao was unwilling to make a big fuss for the small land of Mocheng. Therefore, in the name of the court, Mocheng was set up as a county town and belonged to Nanjun. Zhou Yu did not mention Mocheng, but said that if Jingling, Liu Bei could use this name to separate Mocheng from Jingling.

As for saying that it was Cao Cao's order, it was also an edict issued by the emperor. They respected the emperor but not Cao Cao.

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, but then he suddenly realized it, nodded and smiled, "What Kong Ming said is very good, so he followed Kong Ming's words!"

"Report~" Just as Liu Bei was relieved about this, he suddenly saw a personal guard of the General's Mansion coming in and bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Lord, a fleet of ships came up on the river, with a huge momentum, and was approaching the water village."

"Who is it?" Liu Bei frowned.

"Follow the flag, it's our army's fleet." The guard bowed.

"When did our army have a navy?" Liu Bei was happy when he heard this. Now his subordinates were Guan Yu, who led a navy, ten warships, and dozens of boats, and there was not even a single ship. Where did the huge fleet come from? Turning his head and looking at Zhuge Liang, he said, "But Jiangdong wants to visit Jiangling?"

"How could Zhou Yu be so unwise?" Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "You may not be fooled by such a plan. Why don't you go to the city to see it?"

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Good!"

At that moment, Liu Bei called Zhao Yun and ordered someone to notify Guan Yu. After Zhang Fei, he brought the generals to the water camp. At this time, the other party's fleet could be seen clearly above the water camp. The eye-catching flag was Liu Bei's banner, and the ship...

"This is Boyuan's mother-child ship. I'm afraid that only Mocheng can have it in the world!" Zhuge Liang pointed to the leading ships and smiled at Liu Bei.

In addition to the mother-child boat, there were a large number of boats and even fishing boats behind. Looking quite messy, Liu Bei was surprised to hear this: "Bo Yuan should be conquering Lingling and Guiyang at this moment, how could he be here?"

While speaking, a small boat was coming quickly in the fleet. Everyone looked at it in a focused manner, but saw a heroic young general holding a big sword on the small boat. His expression was quite similar to Guan Yu, and it was Guan Ping.

"Tanzhi?" Liu Bei was a little surprised when he saw this, so he quickly asked someone to open the water camp and let Guan Ping in.

Guan Ping got off the boat, came straight to Liu Bei and his group, and bowed.

"Why is my son here? Where did those navy troops come from?" Guan Yu frowned and looked at Guan Ping.

"Lord, father!" Guan Ping bowed to everyone after greeting everyone, and said, "Sir, have captured Lingling and have taken over most of the troops, but most of these troops are thieves. Mr., worried that there would be many rebellions when they stayed in Lingling, so he ordered the last general and General Liu Feng to bring these 20,000 troops back to Jiangling first."

"There are so many soldiers and horses in Lingling?" Guan Yu said in a little surprised. How many people are there in Lingling? How could it gather so many soldiers and horses in total?

"The Lingling Prefect, who joined forces with the sects and soldiers from all over the country and Shanyue, had more than 20,000 people." Guan Ping bowed and said, "In addition, there are Lingling Prefect Liu Du, Liu Xian and his son, and the Jingzhou general Wen Pin, who are now on the boat, waiting for the lord to leave. In addition, the lord has a letter asking me to pass it on to the lord."

As he said that, Guan Ping took out a roll of bamboo slips and handed them to Liu Bei.

"Yun Chang, Yide, you two go and let Ziyi enter the village and settle these soldiers." Liu Bei took the bamboo slips and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at the same time.

Since you are sure that you are your own person, you don’t have to worry.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "Why are you afraid of Zhou Lang with these soldiers?"

During these days, Zhou Yu had already been dissatisfied with Guan Yu and others because of a Jingling chattering here. Now he has added 20,000 new troops, and the four counties in Jingnan were also taken down by Liu Yi. At this time, Liu Bei had the confidence to challenge Jiangdong. Although it was still not as good as that, Jiangdong might not dare to turn against Liu Bei. After all, both sides had to consider Cao Cao's attitude.

Liu Bei nodded, opened the bamboo slips, and looked over them quickly.

After a while, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and smiled, "If nothing unexpected happens, Guiyang is probably taken down now. Bo Yuan urged me to send someone to take over the affairs of the four counties as soon as possible, it is really..."

Others are asking for an official position, but Liu Yi is pushing it out hard. This is weird enough. Could it be that all the people of the Mo family are like this?

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Bo Yuan's intention is not here. He is willing to lead the army this time because the lord is short of staff. Now that he has the help of the Jingxiang gentry, Bo Yuan probably considers that the lord needs to appease the Jingxiang genius, so this letter has been sent."

"Just..." Liu Bei nodded, then smiled bitterly: "Boyuan wants to build a new city on the bank of Dongting Lake, which is the cost..."

Building a city?

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei and built a city, which cost a lot.
