On October 21, the seventh year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Yi left Shouchun and embarked on the return journey. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Yi's chosen return route was to first go east along the Huai River and arrive in Huaiyin. From there, take a navy ship north and return to Jicheng.

The reason for this choice is mainly to let Mrs. Concession return to her hometown to worship her ancestors. In addition, Huaiyin, the naval fleet in the north can also be reached.

This time I went to Huaiyin, and the accompanying troops were all cavalry, and they moved quickly.

Li Jing and other generals who stayed behind, as well as officials from Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, and Guangling County appointed by Li Yi, came to see him off.

After a few words of greeting, Li Yi's face turned solemn and he began to get down to business.

According to Li Yi's design, Jiujiang County will become a logistics and trade-based area in the future.

Where commerce and trade are prosperous, transportation is bound to be developed, although Lujiang County is located between the two rivers of Jianghuai and Huai, and the waterway is very developed, but the situation by land is much worse.

In this era, the roads are basically trodden by foot, with the exception of official roads. The official road is usually paved with triple soil, which is spacious and flat, and convenient to come and go. However, after all, Sanhe soil is not asphalt and cement, and even if it is asphalt and cement, it is impossible to use it for decades in one go.

Many of the official roads in the Jianghuai area have not been repaired since the Huan Ling era, and now, the official roads in the past have become potholed and devastated.

It's fine on a sunny day, but when the rainy season comes, these roads will be deadly. The muddy roads are enough to turn cavalry into infantry, infantry into turtles, and logistical supplies are even more nightmarish difficulty.

It was precisely because of seeing these that Li Yi finally decided to make certain concessions and Huairou Jianghuai area.

There is no way, there are simply no conditions for starting a large army here. If you continue the previous policy and exterminate Haoqiang, just the dock forts on this land are enough to make people desperate, plus Yuan Valve's huge latent forces in this place, let alone a year and a half, three and five years, don't think about a result.

This is also why in the war of Wei against Eastern Wu in history, it was never able to make a breakthrough on the Jianghuai front. On the other hand, when Wu counterattacked, it was often repelled by Wei with a small number of troops.

Due to the geographical situation, there is no way to carry out large-scale operations in this area.

Li Yi positioned Jiujiang County as a logistics center, and the deep meaning is also here. Under the banner of "if you want to get rich, build roads first", the Department of Commerce has done a lot of infrastructure planning in Jiujiang County, and the core is how to make transportation more convenient. Roads were built, canals were dug, and ports and wharves were built...... If nothing else, in the last two or three years, Jiujiang County, a place connecting the north and the south, will become accessible in all directions, not only convenient for business travel, but also convenient for the army to march.

At that time, no matter who rules Jianghuai, there is no way to rely on the geographical advantage to resist the army of Qingzhou, so he can only resist.

Of course, the reverse is also true, if there is a powerful force from Jianghuai, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, Jiujiang County will also provide it with full convenience.

But Li Yi is confident, this possibility is very low, even if it really happens, there is nothing to be afraid of, it is nothing more than soldiers to block it, and water to cover it.

Li Yi looked at Li Jing and instructed: "The pharmacist is in Yangzhou, you have to be careful, Zhou Gongjin and Sun Quan are all scheming people, although they are not worrying at the moment, if they are taken lightly, they will inevitably take advantage of it." I left Kong Ming to assist in Yangzhou, although he is young, but he is very smart, if the enemy army invades the territory, you will naturally be the main one on the battle array, but if there is uncertain information, before returning to Jicheng, you may wish to discuss with him more. ”

Li Yi felt that his advice was already a little verbose, but there was no way, otherwise he was not at ease. In this era when there were no radios and telephones, hundreds of miles away was like another world, and although Li Jing's Sixth Army was a unit under his command, it was impossible to achieve fine command, at most it was a simple order to give a comprehensive attack, a limited attack, reinforcement or defense.

If there is really any unexpected situation, just like in history, Lü Meng crossed the river in white clothes, attacked Jiangling, and the battle situation in Xiangfan collapsed instantly, the distance between Jicheng and Jingzhou is farther, and it will be difficult to make a timely response at that time.

Li Jing's personal martial arts may be slightly inferior, but he is much more stable than Guan Yu and Tai Shici, Li Yi is not worried about his carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, but the opponent he faces is much more clever than Lu Mengke, and the combination of Zhou Yu, Lu Xun and Sun Quan is really a little terrifying.

I don't know if it's because of the butterfly effect caused by Li Yi's arrival, Sun Quan actually invited Lu Xun out of the mountain early.

It is really that there is no strength in northern Xinjiang to make a big move now, otherwise Li Yi will definitely not stop there, and must lead the navy and the infantry army to cross the river and sweep away Jiangdong.

After thinking about it again and again, Li Yi finally left Zhuge Liang behind.

Li Jing was originally a battle-hardened general, and his experience was impeccable, and the strength of the Sixth Army of the Northern Xinjiang Army that stayed in Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, and Guangling County to attack the enemy may not be enough, but it was more than enough to defend the territory, and what he was afraid of was only the enemy's wisdom and tricks.

Although Zhuge Liang is young, he is beautiful and witty. If this article and the armed forces can cooperate sincerely, they should be able to eliminate these hidden dangers to the greatest extent.

Li Jing bowed down and said: "The teachings of the lord have been written down by the last general. Kong Ming has excellent talent and the ability to change organically, and the last general also admires it in his heart, and he will cooperate sincerely with him, so that the lord has no worries. ”

replaced Tai Shici, Guan Yu and Wei Yan, if Li Yi had told them like this, they would have been absent-minded a long time ago, one ear in and one ear out, but Li Jing listened very carefully, not only listening, but also asking questions about some details from time to time.

After telling Li Jing, Li Yi turned to Zhuge Liang again. To be honest, he was quite reluctant to leave Zhuge Liang in Yangzhou, and after getting along with these famous generals, he felt like a group of younger brothers. His elder brother sent his younger brothers away one by one, and he didn't know when he would see each other again, it was like sending them to college in another place, which was weird.

But there is no way, the situation in Jianghuai is so complicated, Li Jing alone is still too thin, and if Zhuge Liang is not left, only Xu Maogong and others can be left.

Although Zhuge Liang has now entered the ranks of the Northern Xinjiang Army because of his vigorous support, his prestige is not enough, and he is not experienced enough, so leaving him to fight against his natural opponent Zhou Yu is also a good exercise.

In addition to Zhuge Liang and the generals of the Sixth Army, Li Yi also transferred Ji Ling from Western Xinjiang to Li Jing as his deputy. Although Ji Ling is also from Shandong, he has been in Huainan for a long time, he is very familiar with the environment there, and his martial arts are also good, so he should be able to provide Li Jing with a lot of help.

As for Ji Ling's original position, Li Yi asked Cao Ren to make up for it. Generals like Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, since they have already lowered themselves, it would be a waste of talents if they didn't have to get up.

Of course, Li Yi would not let these people get together, but sent them to serve in the major legions under his command. For example, Cao Ren went to Xiliang, while Xiahoudun went to the Guanzhong battlefield, and Xiahou Yuan was at Nanyang Station. Other Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin and others also have their own appointments.

As for Cao Cao, he continued to stay in Jicheng for treatment. With him were Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Ce, who had gone to Northern Xinjiang before. After these two arrived in northern Xinjiang, because they married Sun Shangxiang, it was not easy to treat them, but it was impossible for them to return to the mountains and let them return to Jiangdong. Now, the father and son are under house arrest in Jicheng in disguise. Now there is another Cao Cao to accompany them.

As for the Taishou of Jiujiang County, Li Yi did not continue to let Chen Deng serve after thinking about it. The father and son still have some ambitions, and when they were in Shouchun, they were able to suppress them, but if they went north, it would be uncertain. If these two people come together with Jiangdong, then they will be in big trouble.

Although this possibility is unlikely, Li Yi does not plan to take risks.

The last three county guards appointed by Li Yi were Zhuge Jin, Jia Kui and Wang Ling. These three people are better at government affairs, and their previous positions are actually not suitable. At that time, there were not enough talents, so Li Yi had to arrange it that way. Now that he has gathered the talents under Cao Cao, there are enough talents, and he can naturally make changes.

After telling a few of his subordinates, Li Yi looked at Dian Wei next to him and asked, "Haven't Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao arrived yet?" ”

Dian Wei replied angrily: "My lord, the two ladies have not yet arrived. ”

Well, that's right, this pair of sisters, who have been famous for thousands of years, have now become Li Yi's wife. In fact, they married Li Yi together with the foot trainer.

Li Yi didn't know what was going on, these two eternal beauties did not follow the original trajectory and became the little wives of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, after all, the two sisters are now in their early twenties, and they are already old girls in this era.

But as a man, it is very cool and rewarding to have these famous beauties through the ages, so Li Yi did not delve into it.

Li Yi also sighed a little, but he didn't expect that he would go south to Jianghuai this time, and he would accept the three peerless beauties of Xiao Qiao and Mrs. Bu. This person has gone to the peach blossom luck, and he can't stop it.

Li Yi thought so, and heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, people didn't see it clearly, layers of aroma came to their faces, those two women, both Fang Dangshuang ten years, are both red faces and troubles who seduce people to commit crimes.

The girl at the head has long hair and a shawl, her skin is delicate and pink and looks slippery, her eyes are hooked with long upturned eyelashes, and her small mouth is faintly purple.

Now it is the late autumn season, a soft aqua green dress tightly wrapped in white and tender skin, the chest trembling looming, the deep ravines seduce people's eyes can't help but go downstream, slender and straight calves are exposed outside the skirt, wearing a pair of black leather boots, although only the white and tender section of the knee is exposed, but it is just the right coquettishness.

This woman wears clothes, that's what she wants, she can't show more, and if she shows more, she looks uninteresting, she looks vulgar, like a young lady in the red light district. Of course, you can't help but show it, and if you don't show it at all, you don't have that itchy urge. In short, it is the most charming between the covers, and the most itchy when looking at the flowers in the fog.

On the other hand, another girl, her appearance is another extreme way, a white flowing long skirt, the white and tender skin seems to be rubbed gently, the pure and innocent little face is a little shy smile, the long straight hair hangs smoothly on the chest, a pair of slender and crystalline little hands are just right to cross and fold on the lower abdomen, which leads people to reverie, and there are a few tassels hanging behind the little white boots, and there is a bit of playfulness in innocence.

The second daughter came to Li Yi with a horse and said coquettishly: "Husband, we have arrived." ”

"It's good to get there, let's go." Li Yi nodded, slapped the white dragon horse, and rushed out first.
