Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Listening to Guo Jia's words, Li Ji only smiled faintly, without any intention of answering.

Want to slip away after entering this old monk's bowl?

Even Jia Xu couldn't escape, you think Guo Jia can run away?

Guo Jia thought he was free to come and go in the military camp or the city, without being subject to any jurisdiction, but in reality, he had been under surveillance by the Embroidered Uniform Guard for twelve hours every day.

Perhaps, Li Ji subjectively believed in Guo Jia, but Li Ji always liked to add a layer of security in the physical sense.

And Li Ji's silent smile undoubtedly looked like a silent trust in the eyes of others, which made Guo Jia feel a bit complicated.

After all, no matter how highly Guo Jia thought of himself, he was clear that he was just an unknown commoner, and had never even been recognized by others in the Guo family before.

However, Li Ji, as a famous scholar known throughout the world, not only did not feel dissatisfied or annoyed by his provocations, but instead trusted him in everything, treated him like a friend, and even like a good teacher, even entrusting him with military affairs.

Appreciated from the humble beginnings of a poor family, not annoyed by impoliteness, and full of trust... …

Guo Jia stared at Li Ji's smiling and gentle expression, gulped down the tea in front of him, and then buried himself in dealing with the tedious military affairs for Li Ji, saying.

"When the war is over, I want three jars of good wine and a drunken day and night."

"Drink less wine and more tea."

Li Ji persuaded with some concern.

Guo Jia was slightly sullen for a while, and replied with his head down. "My private affairs are none of your business."

'A proud young man... …'

Li Ji said secretly, after this period of contact, how could he not know Guo Jia?

Guo Jia, who was born in a poor family, lost both parents in his childhood, and was undoubtedly the type who lacked love, coupled with a series of problems such as infighting and suppression within the large family.

Li Ji even suspected that Guo Jia had never experienced bullying within the family.

That's why Guo Jia indulged in wine at such a young age, and couldn't wait to leave the Guo family and travel around to prove himself as soon as he reached adulthood.

Immediately, Li Ji also took a sip of tea, closed his eyes, and began to build the terrain from Qiantang County to Fuchun Mountain in his mind like a sandbox.

Then, according to the known information, the strength of the enemy and us were placed on it.

As this three-dimensional modeling-like sandbox was constructed in his mind, Li Ji suddenly felt that his thoughts were much clearer, and even the respective goals of Kuaiji County and the Shanyue seemed to be clear.

Perhaps, there are still a few unclear points: for example, how did Guo Yi, the governor of Kuaiji County, collude with the Shanyue, what is the basis of trust for the cooperation between the two parties, and how is the cake agreed upon by Guo Yi and the Shanyue divided.

If these points can be clarified, it will be much easier for Li Ji to implement a counter-espionage plan to destroy their alliance.

Once the alliance between Kuaiji County and the Shanyue collapses, neither of them will be able to pose any substantial threat to Wu County.

Unfortunately, Wu County's understanding of the Shanyue as a whole is still lacking, and the intelligence network for Kuaiji County is not deep enough.

This leaves Li Ji with no choice but to seek a way to break the situation on the frontal battlefield.

'And at the moment, the next possible action of Kuaiji County and Shanyue is... …'

Li Ji pondered for a while, and the Kuaiji County troops originally gathered in Yuyao County began to advance forward, and the Shanyue lurking in the depths of Fuchun Mountain will also begin to attack Guan Yu's troops strongly.

Overwhelm people with power... …

Relying on the absolute advantage in military strength, Wu County can only take care of one thing and lose sight of the other.

If Li Ji was in the position of Kuaiji County, he would probably choose this way.

If Kuaiji County really did this, it would completely prove that there must be an unknown strategist assisting Guo Yi.

At this moment, Xu Sheng strode in, holding a military report in his hand, and said.

"Mr. Zikun, there has been a change in Kuaiji County, and a large number of troops have begun to be stationed along the Qiantang River, and it seems that there is a tendency to cross the river at any time."

"Oh?"

Li Ji took the military report handed over by Xu Sheng and looked at it himself, but couldn't help but smile.

Guo Jia heard the words, unlike the previous state when he had just followed Li Ji, maintaining a reserved and arrogant posture, and never taking a second look at the military reports that Li Ji did not actively give him, at this moment, Guo Jia took the initiative to come over.

After reading the military report, Guo Jia couldn't help but frown, realizing the badness of the situation.

"The beacon tower did not scare the other party away, but instead showed a naked conspiracy, I am afraid that its intention is to contain our military strength and make our army dare not move lightly to assist the battlefield on the Fuchun Mountain side."

Guo Jia pondered for a while, murmured the current predicament, and then asked Xu Sheng. "General Xu, I wonder how many troops are stationed in Kuaiji County?"

Xu Sheng heard the words, glanced at Li Ji, confirmed that Li Ji did not mean to stop Guo Jia from asking, and then cupped his hands and said.

"According to the observation of the scouts, it is about 20,000."

Guo Jia heard this number and blurted out subconsciously.

"It's troublesome."

Although Xu Sheng didn't read many military books, Xu Sheng had a keen sense of the battlefield, and he also realized the problem at this moment.

Naked conspiracy!

Whether to abandon Fuchun Mountain or Qiantang County, it is a dilemma for Wu County.

Or rather, it is meaningless to protect either one, but it seems impossible to protect both at the same time.

In the end, Xu Sheng came up with a solution that was not a solution, and suggested.

"Mr. Zikun, why not report this matter to the lord, and let the lord quickly report to the court, and strictly order Guo Yi of Kuaiji County to withdraw his troops."

Li Ji shook his head helplessly and said.

"General Xu, even if the court issues an edict to punish Guo Yi, the time it takes for the messenger to travel back and forth to the court will exceed two months, and distant water cannot put out a nearby fire."

"Moreover, the Ten Attendants behind Guo Yi and the banner he is openly waving are to attack the Shanyue, the court may not issue an edict to forcibly order Guo Yi to withdraw his troops, and may even say that Wu County is unwilling to lend the road and is harboring ulterior motives."

Li Ji saw this aspect very clearly, and never expected the attitude of the court.

And in Li Ji's mind, the "strategy simulator", after Li Ji gradually collected and analyzed enough information, finally began to emerge with feasible strategy options.

[Under your influence, Wu County has embarked on a prosperous road hundreds of years ahead of schedule, and just as everything inside Wu County is gradually on the right track.

The changes in Wu County have also attracted the covetousness of others, whether due to political struggles, or due to greed, or due to more complex reasons.

Guo Yi, the governor of Kuaiji County, joined forces with the Shanyue to plot against Wu County, and now he is openly stationing troops on the Qiantang River, intending to join forces with the Shanyue to divide and plunder the three southern counties of Wu County.

In this regard, your choices are:

1. Lure the enemy deep; 2. Change the form of offense and defense; 3. Cross the sea under camouflage.]

As strategy options that emerged based on Li Ji's own abilities, Li Ji basically understood the direction they pointed to when these three options appeared.

The first option, "luring the enemy deep," is undoubtedly Li Ji withdrawing the defense line, giving enough space for the Kuaiji County troops to join forces with the Shanyue, and seeking the opportunity for a frontal decisive battle.

On the plain terrain, even if it is 20,000 against 50,000, Li Ji believes that he can defeat the other party's rabble.

In the deep mountains and old forests, the Shanyue can still have the capital to jump around, but when they reach the plains, even if the Han army does not have the advantage in weapons and equipment, they can use the military formation to beat the Shanyue, who are good at fighting on their own, to cry for their parents.

However, luring the enemy deep also means that it is necessary to clear the fields and will inevitably cause great damage and impact to the three southern counties of Wu County.

Therefore, Li Ji almost gave up the choice of "luring the enemy deep" at the first time, but was quite interested in "changing the form of offense and defense."

[Facing the dilemma of taking care of one thing and losing sight of the other, the decisive you did not sit still and watch the situation continue to deteriorate, but chose to "change the form of offense and defense."

You want to come in, so why can't I go in first?]

[The beacon tower you arranged in advance made the other party mistakenly judge that your attitude was to stick to it blindly, and then you openly began to send a part of the troops to assist Fuchun Mountain, and most of the troops stayed in Qiantang County to defend it to the death.

In fact, the troops you sent out were far more than the Kuaiji County scouts saw.

Moreover, those troops did not assist Fuchun Mountain at all, but went to the upper reaches of the Qiantang River to find a gentle place to cross the river and secretly entered Kuaiji County.]

[Zhao Yun was the vanguard, and Xu Sheng was the central army, with a total of 5,000 elite troops raiding the Kuaiji County troops who were unprepared in the rear.

And just when the other side of the Qiantang River was in chaos, you personally led the army that had been prepared in advance to cross the river and attack Kuaiji County directly.

Under the attack from both sides, the troops arranged by Kuaiji County on the Qiantang River were unable to arrive at all, and instantly fell into great chaos, and were chased and killed for more than ten miles, with countless deaths and injuries.]

[After a battle, the Kuaiji County soldiers either died or surrendered, and the entire Kuaiji County was like a soft girl, no longer able to resist your attack, allowing you to take whatever you want.

Even Guo Yi, the governor of Kuaiji County, was easily captured by you, and then listed the crimes and sent them to the court for disposal.

Without the restraint of the Kuaiji County troops, the Shanyue are no longer a threat, and after you quickly transferred troops to support Fuchun Mountain, the Shanyue quickly retreated when they saw that things could not be done.]

[Strategy evaluation: Judging from the tactical level, this strategy is undoubtedly excellent, not sticking to conventional thinking, using the weak to defeat the strong, turning defense into offense, and laying the foundation for victory in a very short time, solving the current dilemma faced by Wu County.

However, in the scope of strategy, it may leave many hidden dangers.

Even if you were to gather evidence of Guo Yi's crimes and present it to the court, are the Ten Attendants truly incapable of exonerating Guo Yi? Furthermore, the fact that Wu Commandery launched an unauthorized attack on Kuaiji Commandery is enough to serve as a pretext to attack Liu Bei and you.

Moreover, after this battle, Kuaiji Commandery's military strength has been reduced by more than 80%. How will it be able to resist the unscathed Yue mountain bandits in the future?
