Although his children were also the first to enroll in the school, they did not participate in this discharge assessment due to their age. This discharge assessment was proposed by Liu Yi. There are many reasons. The urgent need for fresh blood in the Han Dynasty is one reason. The war that is about to inspire morale, give the soldiers in the army a reason to fight bravely, and also give the middle and lower classes a path to promotion.

Of course, there are some other ideas, such as breaking the increasingly strong dependence of Liu Bei Group on the talents of the aristocratic family. It is not that it cannot be used. The facts prove that the probability of talents from aristocratic families is of the highest quality, but once anything is dependent, it will be controlled by the other party. Perhaps the first generation of the aristocratic families who followed Liu Bei will have a high loyalty due to Liu Bei's means, the second generation will have a sense of belonging, and it will also affect the third generation.

But people are selfish after all. When they find that they can get more, they will constantly test the bottom line. When the bottom line is constantly broken, it is also the beginning of decline. This is also the precautions before it happens. I have heard of three generations of loyal ministers, but who has heard of ten generations of Yongzhong? Maybe a dynasty has ended.

However, this matter can only be done little by little, and there is no rush. Even Liu Yi never thought that he could accomplish it in this life. He didn't want to become Shang Yang. Anyway, he had wealth and glory in this life. And even if Liu Bei turned a blind eye to this, he was still part of the vested interests. Just leave a concept for others to explore. He would definitely not do it. This thing is a taboo and it would not end well if it is done.

The three-day assessment period has passed, and the finished products and theories have been delivered. It is difficult for you to use something like steam engines to use smaller objects, so most of the things that disciples come up with are large.

For example, Zhou Huai made a crane model, which is the type used by Liu Yi when he founded the city. It uses a steam engine to replace manpower. This is indeed great and more in line with Liu Yi's philosophy. After all, no matter how well the war machine is made, it actually cannot bring too much creativity.

Unfortunately, there are not many outstanding inventions besides this. Although some inventions can make models, they are not practical and cost-effective, but they have also been evaluated. Nowadays, when there are scarce talents, it is difficult to not be used unless they are really useless. The admission rate of this class of disciples may be the highest in the entire academy. In the future, with the saturation of talents, talents from the academy will begin to flow to the public. However, that may be more than ten years later. At present, talents from all walks of life are in a shortage. If they want to enter the prosperous era that Liu Yi expected, talents will always be in an unsaturated state.

"Mr. Mo, there is an envoy sent by Your Majesty outside to ask for a visit!" After the assessment was over, Liu Yi was thinking of spending his wife and children at home, but a few months later, he welcomed the envoy from Hanzhong.

"Please come in." Liu Yi sighed. The messenger came just after he rested, which made people feel helpless.

"I'm leaving again?" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi, with a little dull look in her eyes.

"Well, maybe." Liu Yi nodded silently and said, at this time, the envoy sent from Hanzhong was probably calling him back.

"Sir Deng Zhi, please see Mo Hou!" A scholar in his forties came in and bowed to Liu Yi and bowed.

"Bo Miao doesn't have to be too polite." Liu Yi stood up and helped Deng Zhi up. The two were about the same age. Deng Zhi was under Liu Yi, but he has made many achievements over the years. It was because of the new talents who were not in the court during the period when Liu Yi was not in the court.

"But Your Majesty wants me to go back?" After a polite manner, the two sides sat down, and Liu Yi asked with a smile.

"That's right." Deng Zhi nodded: "Mr. Mo and General Zhenxi have been in southern Xinjiang for many years, and His Majesty misses him a lot."

"Is it going to fight?" Liu Yi sighed and looked at Deng Zhi and said with a wry smile. Liu Bei is a person who values ​​feelings, but he is also a person with clear distinction between public and private affairs. He will never recall the important officials who are outside because of missing him.

"No," Deng Zhi was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "The news came from Yecheng that the Lord of Wei Cao Pi was critically ill."

According to the reign of Cao Wei, it is now the seventh year of Huangchu. It has been more than six years since Cao Pi ascended the throne. Over the years, the Han Dynasty and Cao Wei have been developing rapidly and have a prosperous appearance. Liu Bei has never found an opportunity to send troops. Cao Pi died of illness, and there will inevitably be turmoil in Wei. This is indeed an opportunity.

Moreover, the great man has accumulated so many years, especially in the past two years, manpower and material resources have begun to expand significantly, and the internal resources are already quite rich, so it is indeed time to expand further.

It’s a pity that if you can wait a few more years, it might be better. Unfortunately, this is the case with the fighter jet. It’s fleeting. It’s impossible to wait for everything until you’re ready for everything.

"Okay, things are almost over here, and we will set out in the next few days." Liu Yi nodded. This Northern Expedition may be the greatest hope, and it is also the most talented one in Liu Bei. All the generals are here, and Liu Bei is still alive. If you wait for the next time, you may not have such a luxurious lineup as you are now.

Deng Zhi nodded, stood up and said goodbye to Chen Dao there. This time, it was not only for Liu Yi and Chen Dao to return to the court, but also for the Wudang Feijun, who had been trained in the past five years, had to set off together, and there were many things.

"My husband has just rested, are you going to send troops again?" After Deng Zhi left, Lu Lingqi came out of the back hall and looked at Liu Yi with some loss.

"This Northern Expedition is very important." Liu Yi nodded, and was a little helpless. He was not just the Shaofu. Liu Bei's troops to fight in the Northern Expedition must be indispensable, and he may even lead the army alone to send troops.

Although he has not participated in the specific battle planning, Liu Yi estimated that it should be mainly for the competition in Guanzhong. It is not realistic to swallow Cao Wei in one bite. But if he only focuses on Guanzhong as the goal, it is entirely possible to use this fighter with the current conditions of the Han Dynasty. If he can get a place for the audience, Liu Bei's shortcomings will be completely completed, so this battle is very critical.

"I know, it's just the schooling of tomorrow and Cheng'er..." Lu Lingqi sighed. She knew very well that these things were just the children's living environment. She finally stabilized and now she had to change again. She really couldn't bear to the children's suffering from running around.

"Stay here first, and after we have captured Guanzhong, we will settle in Chang'an." Liu Yi said after a moment of silence. It is indeed not suitable for children to change places frequently, but Yunnan is not a place to live for a long time. If you arrive in Chang'an, you shouldn't move.

"Yes." Lu Lingqi nodded silently: "When will your husband leave?"

"It will take seven days at the fastest." Liu Yi thought for a while. There is also an army accompanying him this time, and he needs to use a rail car to pull it. He has to prepare a rail car, coordinate the road in advance, and avoid collisions. These coordination also take time. Now, there are five rail cars connected together, with more than a dozen people exerting force at the same time. The speed can be about fifty miles per hour. If you pedal alternately, you can walk about three hundred miles a day from here. From here, you can reach Hanzhong in about ten days. The speed is already very fast in this era.

"I'm preparing my luggage for my husband." Lu Lingqi nodded and said nothing more.

Looking at Lu Lingqi's back as she left, Liu Yi sighed and sat in his seat and thought silently, hoping that this battle would not take too much time.

The progress of the matter was faster than Liu Yi imagined. It was not difficult to assemble the Wudang Feijun's baggage and the academy talents to be brought on this trip. What was difficult was the coordination of the road and the preparation of the baggage.

There were 5,000 people in Wudang Flying Army alone, and there were about 500 people accompanying them. A train could be loaded with about 50 people. The people alone needed 110 rail cars. There were no need to worry about the food along the way. There were supplies at all stations, which saved a lot of manpower.

On April 23, the sixth year of Zhangwu, the army began to slowly start arriving in the reluctance of many people from the South China who came to see each other. More than 100 rail cars gradually accelerated and soon disappeared from the crowd's sight.

When I came to Nanzhong, most of the places along the way were in a state of primeval forests, with miasma. However, six years later, I set out on my way back again, and I saw many villages along the way. At least on these roads, it was difficult to see the silent and dead miasma forest. In six years, the entire six counties in Nanzhong have changed a lot. Not to mention how prosperous it is, but at least, the current South Central area is no longer regarded as a barren land. In this regard, Liu Yi was still quite proud.

"Boyuan, is there a great chance of winning this Northern Expedition?" Chen Dao was with Liu Yi, looking at the scenery along the way, and he handed over the command of the troops' advance to the generals in the army, which was considered to be a pre-working exercise.

"Not small." Liu Yi held the handrail of the carriage and looked at the scenery that was constantly retreating from his eyes and said with a smile: "If Cao Pi died, there would be a turmoil within Cao Wei. Our army is now at a time of strong troops and strong horses. If the news is true, once troops are sent, it will be difficult for Cao Wei to defend. Don't forget that Junhou has been waiting for the Northern Expedition in Nanyang for seven years."

Chen Dao nodded. The entire military general under Liu Bei had been preparing for the Northern Expedition for many years. Now that the troops were sent, he was in full swing, and he could not think of any reason for failure.

"It's just a pity." Chen Dao sighed: "If our army had the momentum of today when Cao Cao died, it would probably have sent troops to Guandong instead of the northern expedition to Guanzhong."

Liu Yi smiled and shook his head. It was not easy for Liu Bei to have the momentum of today. If he thought too much, he would be a little greedy. If he said this, if he had the ability to do today, why would he have to join Liu Bei? The world today is probably another matter.

Of course, Liu Yi will be terrified in his heart. Just think about it. Now that things have come to this, how can there be so many ifs?
