Chapter 167: War Stops
Liu Xian chose to surrender without waiting for Liu Yi to bring Liu Du to the front line. The rebellious sentiment in the city became higher and higher. He was worried that he would be killed by these rioters before his father was sent. Moreover, there was really not much food and grass in the city. Xing Daorong didn't fit his eyes on protecting Liu Xian almost every day in the past two days.
Even if Liu Xian said he wanted to surrender, it was useless. In this case, Liu Xian had no choice but to open the city and surrender. The 20,000 army fought 7,000 troops. In the end, the battle was not fought much, but he was only less than 3,000 troops left by his side. Moreover, people always wanted to use his own heads to seek credit. This pressure from himself even exceeded the pressure brought by Liu Yi's army. When he decided to open the city and surrender, Liu Xian felt that he seemed much more relaxed, as if a mountain pressing on his body had been suddenly moved away.
"Criminal Liu Xian, see the general!" Looking at Liu Yi, who was a few years younger than him, Liu Xian sighed and bowed to Liu Yi and said.
"Each person is his master, and it is not considered offensive. Since the general is willing to surrender, he will be the same dynasty in the future." Liu Yi reached out to help Liu Xian up, looked at Xing Daorong with dissatisfaction, and smiled and said, "General Xing doesn't have to be too polite. On the battlefield, bravery is of course important, but being a general is not enough."
"Thank you for your teachings!" Xing Daorong hummed twice, and saw Liu Xian glaring at him, and then he politely said to Liu Yi reluctantly.
"If the general has nothing else, please follow me to Quanling. My father should be on the way and maybe he will meet him." Liu Yi smiled.
"Here!"
Liu Yi left Guan Ping and Liu Sandao to integrate the surrendered army, and led Huang Zhong to lead the army to Quanling to join Wei Yan. On the way, he met the troops escorting Liu Du, and surrendered Liu Du, and then took him back to Quanling.
Just as Liu Yi was recruiting Liu Xian, the entire clan thief power in Lingling had been swept up by Wei Yan and Liu Feng. The soldiers who were originally clan thiefs had no support. After learning about the situation, although there were people making trouble, they were basically stable. After Wei Yan and others killed several clan thief generals who wanted to gather to make trouble, all the remaining clan thief soldiers and horses were included.
In this way, Liu Yi had more than 28,000 troops brought from Changsha. Although most of them were mobs, the number was not small. After Liu Bei occupied Jiangling, he confiscated some Jingxiang troops. Now he is only 40,000 in Nanjun. Liu Yi walked around Jingnan and had more than half of the troops in his hand.
Will Liu Bei be afraid at all?
That was impossible. Liu Yi himself had no intention of holding a military force. After thinking about it, Liu Yi recruited Guan Ping and Liu Feng.
"Sir, are you looking for us?" Guan Ping and Liu Feng came to Liu Yi's residence and looked at Liu Yi and asked.
"Yeah." Liu Yi nodded and handed two general orders and a letter to Liu Feng and said, "Now the three counties have been pacified, only Guiyang is left. Since Zhao Fan did not take the opportunity to attack Changsha, he dare not be enemies with our army now. However, most of the soldiers in our army are sect soldiers and generals who have been stationed here for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be chaos. You two will lead 10,000 troops to Jiangling to hand over these troops to the emperor's uncle. In addition, Liu Du, Liu Xian and his son are also handed over to the emperor's uncle, and ask the emperor's uncle to send someone to supervise the affairs of the four counties as soon as possible."
"Sir, that Guiyang..." Liu Feng looked at Liu Yi worriedly.
"There are still eight thousand soldiers here. If Zhao Fan understands the truth, if he doesn't understand, I will teach him how to be a human being. Don't worry. When you return to Jiangling, Guiyang County should have been taken down." Liu Yi smiled.
"Here!" The two of them took the order and took the letter written by Liu Yi to Liu Bei, and then said goodbye and left.
On that day, the two men who received the general order immediately set off, adding some Wuling and Changsha soldiers who had been with Liu Yi for some time to accompany the army to stabilize the order in the army. The 20,000 army left in a mighty manner, and the entire Lingling suddenly seemed to become empty.
"Sir." Wei Yan hurried in, but saw Liu Yi fiddling with some wooden crafts on the table.
"What is this?" Wei Yan was also attracted by the objects on the table, but when he saw a water truck like Mocheng, pulling a thin rope in the middle, pulling each mechanism, it seemed to be a whole, but when he looked closely, it was different and quite complicated, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"The model of Mocheng No. 2." Liu Yi groped his chin and looked at the model. Now that he had enough money, he was going to ask Liu Bei for some more, and use the power of Xiangshui to build a city in this Jingnan land.
The Mocheng in the past actually couldn't satisfy Liu Yi because of the funds. Now that he has defected to the prince Liu Bei and has a territory now, it's time to consider building another city. He has chosen a location. Huang Zhong helped him handle military affairs these days, and Liu Yi has been studying this for most of the time.
Moreover, during this period of time, when studying the Shanhai Sutra and giving carvings to certain divine beasts, they often add many attributes to buildings or objects. Liu Yi was thinking during this period that if he set up a Buddhist or Taoist statue, would he also give special attributes to the city? What effect would he have? Or if he put the statue of his second brother in the middle of the city, what would he have?
Anyway, I have a lot of ideas during this period, and now I have finished my work. Liu Yi also applied in a letter to Liu Bei. One is to bring his mother over to the warm kang, and the other is to build a city like Xiangyang and Jiangling in Jingnan. This scale is not comparable to a city like Mocheng. It has a lot of budget, and it may take a year even if Liu Yi recruits craftsmen to build a city, based on a thousand people.
A thousand people have 100,000 yuan a day, and a hundred days are 10 million yuan, and a year has 30 million yuan. Of course, according to the method Liu Yi used in Xiakou before, it actually couldn't use so much, but he had to live a life himself. There were some ideals that Liu Bei gave him. The little salary he gave was definitely not enough. Besides, the city was built and recruiting the people, and operating it also cost money.
"By the way, Wen Chang is so hurrying, what's the matter?" Liu Yi looked at Wei Yan and said.
"Zhao Fan has sent a letter of surrender. I hope that Mr. can take over Guiyang as soon as possible." Wei Yan then reacted and said to Liu Yi.
"Surrender if you surrender, why do you want me to go in person?" Liu Yi frowned.
"Then Zhao Fan didn't say that, just said that he hoped to see our sincerity." Wei Yan shook his head. Who knew what Zhao Fan was thinking, and looked at Liu Yi and said, "Sir, is it a fraud?"
"I don't know." Liu Yi shook his head. He was not Zhuge Liang. He knew if there was any fraud. However, since he surrendered, he could take a county without fighting. Liu Yi didn't want to fight. He said immediately: "I inform General Han Sheng, lead the troops over, let Sandao stay, give him two thousand people, continue to guard Lingling, and wait for the prefect sent by the emperor to come over and protect him."
The remnants of the sect are still there. Although it is not a big problem, the army still needs to be guarded. Liu Yi thinks it is enough. There is no one at hand now. Otherwise, if Liu Sandao would be like this, Liu Yi would be worried about keeping him to defend the city.
"Here!" Wei Yan suddenly became interested when he heard this. He immediately agreed, turned around and went to pass the order.
Liu Yi shook his head, what's the best for fighting? His eyes returned to the model. According to theory, this model is perfect, but in fact many problems have not been solved. For example, the teleportation bond of this model can be solved with silk thread, but in reality, what to use to transmit power depends on gears, and it is not easy to repair if it is broken. Therefore, Mocheng did not set up more complex mechanisms. Should he also practice the skills of cobblers and tailors?
In addition, can the transportation of water power drive all the equipment that requires power in a big city? Or is a water truck enough? This is just theoretically all the objects driven by a water truck, but the force will be consumed. Moreover, this is not the whole picture of the entire city. It is just a part. How many water trucks do you need to build a semi-mechanized city in this era?
It's time to consider accepting a disciple.
Liu Yi sighed. Construction is one aspect, but design before construction is actually more important than construction itself. It is just that talents with this kind of computing and design ability are willing to work with him? Be a successor to the Mohist family or a craftsman?
Let’s make a few more models first, and a larger model. His carpentry and carving skills are almost at level 6. He hopes to start building a city after level 6. At that time, the built city attributes will be much higher than Mocheng. This is the first real city he built rather than a city. The meaning is different, so it will naturally be more perfect. This is also the reason why Liu Yi wanted Lu Lingqi to come. After it is completed, he can change his new home.
A day passed by Liu Yi's continuous thinking and improvement. The next morning, Wei Yan came to find Liu Yi, and his troops were ready and he could go to war at any time.
Liu Yi took Huang Zhong to his carriage and signaled to set off. Although he was going to surrender this time, what did you say? Surrender is like being attacked by an enemy. You must be fully prepared to avoid Zhao Fan's thoughts.
Wei Yan led his army to clear the way forward and sent scouts to carefully investigate whether there were ambushers along the way. Liu Yi and Huang Zhongze commanded the central army, 6,000 troops, and entered Guiyang in a mighty way. In order to avoid the break of the retreat, Liu Yi ordered Wei Yan to leave 1,000 troops and guard the two cities along the way. Once things change, there is a way out.
