Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Facing Liu Bei's arrival, Li Ji naturally went out to greet him. Liu Bei also shouted towards Li Ji from afar.

"Zikun..."

Before Li Ji could salute Liu Bei, Liu Bei quickly stepped forward and held Li Ji up, saying.

"This is a private matter, you and I don't need to be so formal."

Li Ji smiled and didn't insist. Instead, he greeted Zhao Yun, Xiahou Bo, and Jian Yong, who were following behind Liu Bei, before leading Liu Bei into the residence.

However, after entering the residence, Liu Bei asked in a low voice.

"Zikun sent someone to invite me, Zilon, and Xianhe over. Is there something important to discuss?"

After all, the core of the Liu Bei group was already gathered in Li Ji's residence.

"There's nothing important. I just want the lord to test the depth of something."

Li Ji replied with a smile.

Liu Bei quickly reacted and asked further.

"Is it related to Zikun not going to the government office to sign in during this period, and discussing the name of the academy with Duke Cai?"

"Your Lordship is wise."

Li Ji replied as he led Liu Bei and the others deeper into the residence.

"The academy is about to be completed, and many of Duke Cai's friends have also agreed to come and help the academy, but the academy lacks something to serve as a treasure, and I have been disturbed by a large number of scholars' visits, so I came up with a solution."

Soon, Li Ji led Liu Bei and the others to the sand table, and found Xiahou Lan squatting in a corner, seemingly muttering something, while unconsciously drawing circles on the ground with his fingers.

"Brother Lan?"

Zhao Yun was a little surprised by Xiahou Lan's strange state, who was usually so lively, and called out softly.

"Ah?"

Xiahou Lan slowly turned his head to look at Zhao Yun, with a dejected and withdrawn expression, and replied slowly.

"It's Brother Yun. I'm sorry, Brother Yun, I've failed your expectations. I'm afraid I'm only fit to be a useless dog. Serving as a general will only lead to the incompetent death of the army."

Seeing this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but anxiously step forward to help Xiahou Lan, who was squatting in the corner, and shook Xiahou Lan vigorously, trying to get him to recover a little of his previous lively state.

However, Xiahou Lan was like a completely useless salted fish, no matter how Zhao Yun shook him, Xiahou Lan still didn't have any extra reaction.

"Mr. Zikun, why is Brother Lan like this? Could it be that he has some kind of soul-loss disease?"

Xiahou Bo, who also went forward to check on Xiahou Lan's condition, couldn't help but anxiously ask Li Ji.

"Mingzheng is fine. He just learned his true level for a while, so it's hard to accept, and he's just depressed for a while."

Li Ji said with a smile, then walked to the sand table, which had been rearranged to its initial state, and introduced.

"Lord, Zilon, Jichang, Xianhe, this is the way of sand table deduction obtained from the guidance of a divine man in a dream, which can be used to determine the level of generals and strategists in the world."

"Mingzheng was repeatedly hit in the sand table deduction, so he was depressed for a while."

As Li Ji spoke in such a firm tone, Liu Bei and the others couldn't help but step forward to observe the sand table in front of them, and their expressions all changed.

Just at first glance, the dangerous situation faced by the blue side, surrounded by the red side with ten times the enemy, is no less dangerous than the ambush on all sides.

"How to win?" Jian Yong asked.

"The victory of the red side naturally requires the annihilation of the blue side. The victory of the blue side is divided by me into four different levels to divide the level of different commanders..."

Li Ji paused slightly, holding up four fingers, and replied.

"Complete victory, naturally leading more than 30,000 soldiers to break through the encirclement or kill the enemy commander. I think those who can achieve this level should be gods who are hard to meet in a thousand years;"

"Secondly, leading more than 10,000 people to break through the encirclement to the edge of the sand table or counter-killing more than 30,000 enemy troops, must be a top famous general in the world;"

"Again, leading more than 5,000 people to break through the encirclement to the edge of the sand table or counter-killing more than 15,000 enemy troops, this will also be a rare hero;"

"Finally, if the main general can lead a thousand people to break out of the encirclement and escape to the edge, his talent is enough to sit in the state and county."

Hearing this, Liu Bei felt that Li Ji's words were somewhat exaggerated. The situation of the blue side in this sand table seemed to be extremely dangerous, but after all, it was located in the mountains and forests.

Leading a thousand people, or even more soldiers, to break through, is not considered particularly difficult.

However, Liu Bei was more interested in another point, and asked with a slightly glowing eyes. "If Zikun leads the blue side, can he lead more than 30,000 soldiers to break through the encirclement or kill the enemy commander?"

Li Ji replied with a somewhat dumbfounded expression. "I am not in this list. This sand table is still arranged by me, and I naturally know the way to break the game."

"Okay, then I will try how to break the game."

Liu Bei, who was interested, replied without hesitation, and then asked.

"Then can Zikun personally hold the red side and deduce with me?"

"No, if I hold the red side, not to mention the current world, even in ten thousand generations, the blue side will not be able to escape successfully."

Originally, the advantage of the red side compared to the blue side was already infinitely great.

If Li Ji was still in charge of the red side, not to mention Liu Bei, even if five Zhuge Liangs went together, it would be impossible to win against Li Ji.

In this way, using the way of sand table deduction to examine and judge the opponent's level would lose its intended meaning.

Therefore, only someone who is slightly mediocre is undoubtedly needed to be in charge of the red side, and at most cannot be a true hero, otherwise the blue side's winning rate will infinitely approach zero.

That's right...

It's you—Xiahou Lan!

Li Ji pulled Xiahou Lan, who was still like a withdrawn little salted fish, over and said softly in his ear.

"Mingzheng, the despair you feel, the helplessness you feel, don't you want others to feel it a few times too? The reason why I can crack the sand table is only because I know the method of cracking it."

Suddenly, Xiahou Lan's eyes regained their light.

And Xiahou Lan also knew very well that Li Ji's so-called knowing the "method of cracking" was just a humble word. Xiahou Lan, who completely knew how Li Ji did it, also tried to imitate Li Ji's approach, but the result was that he died even faster.

In a daze, Xiahou Lan's heart rose with understanding.

'There is only one Mr. in the world, and there is only one Li Zikun...'

'Those who learn from Mr. live, those who imitate Mr. die!'

'That is the way of cracking that only Mr. can do, and it does not mean how it is suitable for others to do.'

'On the contrary, when I was in charge of the blue side, what I faced was Mr.'s red side, and it was normal that there was no hope of victory at all.'

Looking at the change in Xiahou Lan's expression, a smile couldn't help but appear on Li Ji's face, and then he pulled Xiahou Lan to the edge of the sand table, told Xiahou Lan some key points about being in charge of the red side, and then could ensure that the red side in charge of Xiahou Lan had the expected basic level.

Xiahou Lan, who was holding back his depressed anger, also remembered everything in his heart.

Afterwards, the sand table deduction, with Liu Bei and Xiahou Lan each in charge of one side, began, and Li Ji, Zhao Yun, Jian Yong and others observed from the side.

The first command issued by Liu Bei made Li Ji refreshed.

The blue main general was warming up, then left the main force, and only led a hundred people into the deep mountains and forests, looking for loopholes in the red encirclement to try to break through.

Obviously, Liu Paopao, who had not experienced many setbacks and tribulations, still had this style of using troops integrated into his bones. Seeing that the situation was not good, he took the lead in slipping away.

Xiahou Lan obviously did not expect this point. Moreover, the target of only a hundred people or so was inconspicuous in the deep mountains and forests, and the main force of 30,000 people on the blue side always attracted Xiahou Lan's attention.

After the blue main general escaped the encirclement and deliberately made some noise, Xiahou Lan, who was also limited by intelligence, did not react until he received the news that the blue main general had bypassed to the rear, and subconsciously quickly divided his troops to pursue.

As a result, this also led to some small loopholes in the red encirclement that Xiahou Lan urgently mobilized.

The command that Liu Bei had left for the blue main force in advance was to take the opportunity to break through with all their strength in the direction of Liu Bei's escape, seeking the opportunity created by the riot caused by the escape of the blue main general.

After an extremely tragic fight...

In the end, the blue main force suffered heavy casualties, and only about 10% of the soldiers successfully escaped the encirclement and joined the blue main general. Finally, the blue main general led the remnants of less than 4,000 people to escape to the edge of the sand table area.

Victory!

At this moment, Li Ji had to admit that Liu Bei seemed to have a talent that ordinary people could not reach in terms of leading troops to escape and break through.

In the case of "first sight kill", Liu Bei actually successfully led more than 3,000 people to escape successfully.

If Liu Bei was allowed to familiarize himself with the sand table more, and refine the details of each detail according to Liu Bei's ideas and cracking methods, it is expected that more than 6,000 people could escape.

Uh...

A proper escape-oriented hero!

After the sand table deduction ended, Liu Bei also fell into deep thought for a long time, as if he had gained a lot.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun and Jian Yong took turns to conduct sand table deduction, except for Xiahou Bo, who did not understand the art of war at all.

But even if the opponent was Xiahou Lan, they still failed to lead a thousand people to break through, and all failed!

But this is not surprising, Jian Yong is not good at strategy.

Zhao Yun, who is about the same age as Li Ji, is better at martial arts. He lacks experience in commanding troops, and his practice of the art of war is also far from enough.

Of course, Li Ji knew very well that if Zhao Yun was allowed to lead more than a thousand light infantry to retreat in reality, Zhao Yun might not be able to do it, but if Zhao Yun was allowed to break through with anyone at will, then absolutely no one could stop him.

The only thing Li Ji found somewhat regrettable was that Jia Xu had already left Wu County, and Guan Yu was also stationed at Fuchun Mountain in the southern part of Wu Commandery. Otherwise, if Jia Xu and Guan Yu could have also tried it, it would have been possible to verify it more clearly.

However, as it stands now, it is already sufficient enough.
