The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 514 The Significance of Rebuilding Luoyang

"You two have such a good understanding of each other." Xun You sighed at the relationship between Chen Xi and Yang Ji.

Chen Xi glanced at Xun You and always felt that Xun You was hinting at something, but the tacit understanding between him and Yang Ji was indeed similar to what Xun You said.

"It only took Zi Yu one month to build the road to Hanchang. How long do you think it will take him to complete the rest of the project?" Fan Qin asked Chen Xi curiously.

"Two months." Chen Xi held up two fingers. "Although the distance from Hanchang to Nanzheng is shorter than that from Chengdu to Hanchang, the remaining section of the road is much more difficult to build than the first half."

"Two months..." Fan Qin didn't know what words to use to express his fluctuating emotions. It took three months to build the rice storage road, haha...

Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu and others didn't know how to express their shock at Yang Ji's situation.

It is precisely because they knew what the situation of Migang Road was that they felt it was unreal that Yang Ji completed the secondary stone road project from Chengdu to Hanchang in one month.

All the civil and military officials under Liu Bei's rule have more or less participated in Sun Qian's construction projects. Even if they have not participated at all, they all know how difficult it is to build such infrastructure as roads.

Therefore, they felt it was unreal that Yang Ji completed the construction of the secondary stone road from Chengdu to Hanchang in just one month, because it was really unreal.

If they were not sure that they were not trapped in some dream or illusion, they would definitely feel that they were trapped in the scheme of an unknown enemy, or the kind of high-dimensional enemy that they could not even put up a single resistance against.

Chen Xi shook his head. Although he also felt that Yang Ji's speed was too magical, even the infrastructure maniac in later generations could not do such a thing.

But considering that this is a world with extraordinary existence, and considering Yang Ji's background, it doesn't seem too outrageous. A mere 300 kilometers of secondary road...

Although there is no extraordinary system like magic in this world, the elite talents that gather the strength of everyone can also produce similar effects. It just depends on whether there is anyone who can achieve this level.

In this world, Chen Xi doesn't know whether Yang Ji can leverage the power of heaven and earth with his own abilities, but Yang Ji can definitely leverage the power of heaven and earth with collective strength. He has seen Yang Ji do this more than once.

Even if one day Yang Ji used the power of the legion to perform some magical skills that only existed in novels and stories, Chen Xi would accept it calmly.

After all, the supernatural already exists in this world. Since it is supernatural, it is inseparable from idealism, and idealism is an "I think", so no matter what strange things appear in the future, Chen Xi will not think that this thing should not appear. At most, he will be shocked at how big someone's imagination is...

"By the way, does this thing need to be delivered to Lord Xuande?" Fan Qin pointed to the secret mirror and related documents placed on the table by Sun Qian.

"Let..." Chen Xi paused and said, "Forget it. I'll go there myself later. It's a good opportunity to tell Lord Xuande about the situation in Yizhou."

"Yizhou... shouldn't be that fast, right?" Xi Zhicai frowned. Although everyone in Yizhou was inclined to Liu Bei, he would not hand over the power of Yizhou now. Yizhou was still planning to take back Hanzhong.

"There are some things that require preparation." Chen Xi just said calmly. As for what Xi Zhicai and the others would think, that was none of Chen Xi's business.

Xi Zhicai looked at Chen Xi and made sure that Chen Xi was not joking. Chen Xi really believed that Yizhou would join Liu Bei in a short time.

However, according to their earlier speculation, even if Yizhou would join Liu Bei, it would be after Liu Bei obtained the central power, regardless of whether Liu Bei ascended the throne directly, retained the current emperor, or changed the emperor.

[Did something happen to Lord Xuande? Or Chang'an... or Northern Xinjiang...] Xi Zhicai kept calling up the intelligence in his mind, and even called on Jia Xu's spiritual talent to analyze the development of the whole thing.

Unfortunately, the existing intelligence could not support his analysis of the current situation.

"Zichuan, what happened?" Fan Qin did not have as many taboos as others and asked Chen Xi directly.

"Are you sure you want to know about this?" Chen Xi said slowly, as if he was fishing, and it was a fishing enforcement method at that.

Fan Qin didn't speak, Xi Zhicai didn't speak, Xun Yu didn't speak, and no one else spoke. This matter involved the succession of the throne, and they couldn't help wanting to be involved.

Even Xun Yu couldn't say anything at this time, otherwise he would accidentally implicate many people.

After Chen Xi finished dealing with the relevant matters, he left the Government Affairs Hall. After all, leaving early was never a problem for him, and no one could control him except Liu Bei.

……

"Is this something a normal person can do?" Liu Bei repeatedly looked through the images recorded in the secret mirror, still somewhat unconvinced that Yang Ji could build a secondary stone road from Chengdu to Hanchang County within a month.

"This is the image recorded by Zi Yu himself. If you don't believe it, Lord Xuande, you can ask someone to go to Yizhou to re-record a copy." Chen Xi said. He was now looking at the scene in Luoyang City. The fire set by Dong Zhuo at that time has not been recovered until now.

"This kind of technology..." Liu Bei's eyes lit up instantly when he heard Chen Xi's words, "Why don't we transfer Zi Yu back from Yizhou? Yizhou already has six construction corps anyway, and the restoration of Luoyang City requires his help."

"Lord Xuande, how do you think the governor of Yizhou will view you if you recall Zi Yu from Yizhou?" Chen Xi said helplessly. It was a pity that Liu Bei could come up with the idea of ​​recalling Yang Ji.

"What do you think? I have a legitimate reason." Liu Bei straightened his back and pointed at the ruined city of Luoyang. "Is rebuilding Luoyang less important than having Zhang Lu?"

"Moreover, relying on the strength of the Yizhou army, it is not an easy task to capture Hanzhong?" Liu Bei said seriously. He knew the military strength of Yizhou.

"The second half of the Micang Road has not been completed yet." Chen Xi said with some headache, although he also knew that with the strength of the Yizhou army, taking Hanzhong would not be a problem at all.

However, the Yizhou army wanted to capture Zhang Lu in Hanzhong before the battle of the northern border started, and Mi Cang Road was the key. If Yang Ji was transferred back at this time, it would be unknown when the construction of Mi Cang Road could be completed.

"Doesn't Yizhou already have six engineering construction corps? Why does it still need Zi Yu's assistance?" Liu Bei said with dissatisfaction. What are the people in Yizhou doing?
"Lord Xuande, who do you think can complete the construction of Micang Road within three months?" Chen Xi frowned. It seemed that something was wrong with Liu Bei.

Chen Xi turned around and glanced at Li You and Jia Xu, the two wooden men. Could it be that these two guys had done something to make Liu Bei lose control of his emotions?

Li You and Jia Xu looked back at Chen Xi, and then continued to pretend to be wooden men. Although Liu Bei's emotional fluctuations were related to them, that was all in the past. Don't put the blame on them for the past.

Moreover, Chen Xi may have forgotten one thing. This is Luoyang, which was the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty a few years ago. Seeing the ruins of Luoyang, it would be strange if Liu Bei did not feel emotional.

"Complete the construction of Micang Road in three months..." Liu Bei opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Things like construction projects really cannot be rushed. If you rush, something bad will happen.

But looking at the ruins of Luoyang City, Liu Bei felt sad. He really wanted to rebuild Luoyang City.

"Okay, Gongyou is planning to go to Sichuan to learn the new technology developed by Ziyu. Just ask him to leave some information." Chen Xi sighed. If Luoyang was really rebuilt by Liu Bei, Liu Xie in Chang'an City would only have two options left.

"Gongyou?" Li You couldn't help but speak. He never thought that it was Sun Qian who came to Sichuan. And no matter how you looked at it, Sun Qian's engineering construction had nothing to do with Yang Ji's engineering construction.

Could it be that Sun Qian thought he could learn Yang Ji's way of completing the construction? That was the operation method of the elite talent. Could Sun Qian learn this?

Or does Sun Qian plan to lead a few of his construction corps into Sichuan, have Yang Ji train them, and then lead them out of Sichuan and back to the construction site?
Chen Xi couldn't help but look at Li You who was blown out of the water, and said: "Gong You said that he wanted Zi Yu to transform those elite talents into solidified Xuan Xiang."

"Solidification...Xuan Xiang..." Li You was stuck, and then he realized the beauty of Sun Qian's move. They don't know how to train elite talents, but they know how to solidify Xuan Xiang.

"When will Gongyou come back from Yizhou?" Liu Bei asked excitedly. The civil and military officials under his command were very reliable.

Chen Xi pulled the corner of his mouth and said unhappily: "Gongyou will leave for Sichuan in three days, so don't even think about it now."

For a moment, Liu Bei was a little disappointed, but he also knew that these things could not be rushed, so Liu Bei quickly calmed down.

After clearing his emotions and regaining his previous composure, Liu Bei looked towards the direction of Chang'an and rebuilt Luoyang City. Not only because he, Liu Bei, now had the ability to rebuild Luoyang City, but also because he was competing with Liu Xie for the legitimacy of the Han Dynasty.

"Will he understand what I want to do?" Liu Bei asked softly.

"Zhong Ji and Fu Wan will understand the significance of rebuilding Luoyang City." Li You replied softly.

"That's not necessarily true." Chen Xi shook his head slightly. Zhong Ji, Fu Wan, and Dong Cheng were all quite capable and were quite loyal to the Han Dynasty. But for some reason, whenever these people got involved with Liu Xie, their brains became a mess.

"What do you mean?" Li You frowned. In his opinion, the guys surrounding Liu Xie were not bad and they could definitely see what Liu Bei meant by rebuilding Luoyang.

"They will definitely understand what we mean by rebuilding Luoyang. But when they surround the emperor, they are not sure whether they can convince him to abdicate." Chen Xi said indifferently. Facing Liu Xie's pleading and resentment, can Zhong Ji and others really calm down and think carefully about what to do to benefit the Han Dynasty?

"No matter what, they are old ministers who have awakened their spiritual talents. They should be able to figure it out..." Li You was a little hesitant this time, because he had seen what those people looked like when they surrounded Liu Xie.

"Haven't you seen it?" Jia Xu sneered. After Chen Xi pointed this out, Jia Xu instantly concluded that Zhong Ji and the others would definitely struggle to the end under Liu Xie's pleading.

Li You had nothing to say. When he held great power, those guys had never been afraid. If Liu Xie had not retreated on his own, those old ministers would definitely have splattered Li You with blood. Their will and ability were really not bad.

However, ability is ability, and whether one can bring it into play is the key. Now thinking back carefully, it was not impossible for Liu Xie to deal with Dong Zhuo at that time, after all, Huangfu Song was still there.

Although the Xiliang Army was the strongest army in the world at that time, it would be no problem at all for Huangfu Song and the Eight Schools of Xiyuan to attack the Xiliang Army. You have to know that the soldiers of the Eight Schools of Xiyuan were all transferred from the Five Schools of Sanhe.

At that time, the combat effectiveness of the Three Rivers and Five Schools had declined compared to when they had just defeated the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but with Huangfu Song there, it was still no problem for them to defeat the Western Liang Army.

As a result, Liu Xie himself withdrew, and with him people like Zhong Ji and Fu Wan who claimed to be loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty also withdrew, leaving Huangfu Song, a fence-sitter, guarding Chang'an until he was taken away by Yang Ji.

Even Li Ru, a rebellious guy, knew to be on guard against Huangfu Song. Li You didn't believe that those people would not have thought of Huangfu Song's existence. As a result, he never received any discussion from the royalists about re-employing Huangfu Song from beginning to end.

Perhaps they did think about employing Huangfu Song, but they were worried that after employing Huangfu Song, Huangfu Song would cooperate with Dong Zhuo to target them. After all, Huangfu Song was also from Liangzhou, and Dong Zhuo had once been Huangfu Song's subordinate.

Considering the character of Huangfu Song, it doesn't seem like a problem for them to give up Huangfu Song after they defeat Zhong Ji... What the hell!

Li You didn't believe that Zhong Ji and Fu Wan could not see Huangfu Song's loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Although Huangfu Song was a fence-sitter in politics, in terms of loyalty to the Han Dynasty, could Huangfu Song be less loyal than them?
Li You glanced at Liu Bei, hesitated for a moment, and said to Chen Xi: "Is there any way to make them realize the general trend of the world?"

"When they are away from the emperor, they will naturally realize who is in control of the overall situation of the world." Chen Xi shook his head. Although this was the solution, it was probably impossible to keep them away from Liu Xie.

Moreover, even if he did it, it was also a question whether Zhong Ji and Fu Wan would recognize Liu Bei... or Liu Tong who was pushed forward by Liu Bei.

"Do we need their recognition?" Jia Xu said leisurely, full of contempt for loyal ministers like Zhong Ji and Fu Wan. I have worked hard for so many years just so that everyone can hear me when I speak.
