Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

It must be said that Liu Bei was definitely thoughtful and attentive.

Perhaps Li Ji's wedding arrangements wouldn't reach the point of the entire county celebrating, but among all the county officials in the entire Han Dynasty, it was definitely in a league of its own. Even the weddings of many aristocratic families'嫡系 sons were far inferior to this kind of city-wide celebration.

When Liu Bei led Li Ji into Wu County, every household hung festive items, filling the entire Wu County with a joyful atmosphere.

Even the streets inside Wu County were noticeably cleaner than before.

Such grand arrangements showed how much thought Liu Bei had put in and how much he valued this matter.

This moved Li Ji, but he couldn't help but ask.

"Lord, if Ji's wedding is arranged in such a way that it empties your private treasury, what will happen when your wedding comes?"

This almost "urging marriage" remark made Liu Bei's expression slightly stagnant, and then he waved his hand and said.

"No hurry, no hurry. A great man should focus on his ambitions. If great ambitions are not achieved, how can one have a family?"

Although Liu Bei was only in his twenties, a young and vigorous age, as the overall development of Wu County got on the right track, Li Ji really began to pay attention to Liu Bei's descendants.

Otherwise, Liu Bei couldn't be allowed to have children late in life again.

Especially with the chaotic world approaching, it would be of great benefit to the stability of the entire force if the lord had descendants, so that the entire force would not immediately disintegrate if something unexpected happened to the lord.

Therefore, mentioning this issue this time, Li Ji couldn't help but urge marriage, saying. "Not only the lord, but also Yun Chang, Yi De, Zi Long, and Ji Chang should get married…"

Previously, everyone was not a son of an aristocratic family and had no parents, so it was normal to not get married in this era that emphasized matchmakers' words.

But now that they are all officials, it is undoubtedly a good thing to get married as soon as possible for the sake of long-term planning.

As soon as Li Ji said this, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Bo, who were originally following behind Liu Bei and Li Ji, looked at each other, and then tacitly distanced themselves from Li Ji again, pretending not to hear.

Even Liu Bei, facing Li Ji's question, began to look around, and did not respond for a long time.

Perhaps, this era emphasizes matchmakers' words and social status, but who doesn't hope to meet someone they like?

The end of the Han Dynasty had not yet been poisoned by the Neo-Confucianism of the Southern Song Dynasty. What was promoted was "A beautiful lady, a gentleman's good match" in the Book of Songs, and even Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun's "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" was not without people yearning for it.

Love in this era is full of bold people.

Li Ji was also straightforward, saying. "Lord, do you have someone you admire?"

Liu Bei's old face turned red, and he repeatedly replied.

"No, no, I have no such thoughts in my heart."

Seeing this, Li Ji, as a subordinate, couldn't force him, so he had to euphemistically persuade him. "Even if the lord doesn't marry a wife, he should consider taking a concubine first, what do you think?"

"Um…"

Liu Bei responded vaguely.

Li Ji could only feel quite helpless about this.

If Liu Bei really had any obvious shortcomings or things that people criticized, then it would really be brothers are like limbs, and wives and children are like clothes.

In the original trajectory, when Liu Bei was defeated and ran away, it didn't matter whether he brought his wife and children, as long as he brought his brothers, he would run away without looking back.

Regardless of whether Liu Bei throwing A Dou really happened in the original trajectory or whether it was a show, it fully shows that in the eyes of later generations, Liu Bei really didn't care about the risk of A Dou being thrown into an idiot.

On this point, Liu Bei really has some of the legacy of Emperor Gaozu.

Therefore, Li Ji can only think of ways to let Liu Bei marry a concubine first, and at least give birth to a descendant first.

It's just that after Li Ji returned to Wu County, he originally thought that he could leisurely slow down for a while before starting to prepare for the wedding ceremony little by little, but he didn't want to be manipulated as soon as he changed to the mansion.

Before long, even Li Ji was dizzy and dizzy under this manipulation, only knowing to follow the famous scholars who were proficient in etiquette invited by Liu Bei like a puppet.

This is just the beginning, it is still various preparations and adaptations before the real wedding day.

As Li Ji, the protagonist, returned to Wu County, the entire Wu County really began to become lively.

Even if Liu Bei personally helped Li Ji preside over the reception with the identity of a relative, Li Ji was manipulated to the point that a dazed sense of bewilderment gradually appeared on his face.

It was in Li Ji's dazed expression that the selected wedding day finally arrived.

For Li Ji, who was gradually numb to these tedious procedures, when he greeted Cai Zhaoji out according to etiquette, his thoughts secretly drifted to the vicinity of Qiantang County, hundreds of miles away.

Of course, it wasn't because he was worried that a Sichuan Shu white snake would run to the vicinity of Qiantang County to discharge floods and submerge the city.

But according to the plan, it was also at the time when Cai Zhaoji was greeted that the Shanyue should be fooled…

…

Southern Wu County.

During Li Ji's return to Wu County, the seemingly calm situation was actually surging undercurrents, and there had already been several confrontations, either overt or covert.

In the intelligence that Guo Yi was able to glimpse a part of, Wu County secretly transferred 5,000 soldiers from the Fuchun Mountain, where the battle situation was gradually becoming calm, to garrison near the Qiantang River.

This intelligence not only did not make Guo Yi and Xu You feel worried, but instead made Guo Yi and Xu You completely relieved, thinking that this was Li Ji's backhand to return to Wu County with peace of mind.

In the case of transferring back 5,000 soldiers, taking advantage of the convenience of defending the Qiantang River, it is indeed possible to resist the strong crossing of Kuaiji County with about 10,000 soldiers.

However, the knowledge of this intelligence undoubtedly greatly increased the possibility of Guo Yi persuading the Shanyue.

The reason why the Shanyue gradually became rotten before was that it was clear that it was extremely difficult to capture Fuchun Mountain, which was heavily guarded, and even if there were gains, the losses would be heavy.

But once the military strength of Fuchun Mountain decreases, under Guo Yi's threats and inducements, it is undoubtedly enough to make the Shanyue tempted.

The battle… also broke out in Fuchun Mountain first!

A large number of Shanyue once again lightly and familiarly launched an offensive against Fuchun Mountain, but the counterattack issued by the Han army was obviously more than twice as weak as in the past.

This made a large number of Shanyue tribal leaders overjoyed, understanding that what Guo Yi said was true, and this time was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break through Fuchun Mountain and enter Wu County.

And under the left and right flanking of Guo Yi, the entire southern Wu County will be at their disposal.

Immediately, the Shanyue's tentative offensive changed, erupting with the ferocity belonging to the Shanyue, and a large number of Shanyue surrounded the camp from the dense forest in all directions.

Although the Han army had long ago felled a large number of trees outside the camp, creating a large blank area where the Shanyue had nowhere to hide.

But under the absolute advantage in numbers, the Han army camp, which was unbreakable in the eyes of the Shanyue in the past, quickly couldn't support it and began to shrink its defense line.

However, what the Shanyue are more skilled at is undoubtedly the tailwind battle. Facing the retreat of the Han army, the morale of the Shanyue rose instead, and the offensive became more and more urgent and ruthless.

As the Shanyue began to attack into the camp, the reality that the Han army's strength was insufficient was completely exposed.

The Han army stationed in the camp was only more than 3,000 people, how could they withstand the offensive of more than 30,000 Shanyue surrounding them from all directions.

After shrinking the defense line layer by layer, the Han army was finally forced to abandon a large amount of supplies and began to break through and evacuate the camp after persisting for an hour and a half.

A part of the Shanyue tribal leaders saw this and wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue and attack the Han army that broke through, but seeing that most of the Shanyue began to rush into the camp to snatch the supplies left by the Han army, it was impossible to lead their own troops to take risks alone.

Therefore, after occupying the Han army camp in Fuchun Mountain, these Shanyue, who were used to a hard life in the mountains, almost flocked into the camp to enjoy the various objects and food left by the Han army.

At the same time.

At the beginning of the planned battle in Fuchun Mountain, Guo Yi and Xu You naturally began to pay close attention to the movements on the opposite bank of the Qiantang River.

As soon as Guo Yi learned that the scout reported that the Shanyue strongly attacked Fuchun Mountain, and the offensive was extremely urgent, and soon broke through the first Wu County Han army camp defense line.

There were obvious changes in the Wu County soldiers near Qiantang County, and Guo Yi soon received intelligence that about 4,000 soldiers near Wu County were hurriedly transferred to Fuchun Mountain.

"Hahaha, as expected, as Mr. expected, Wu County has lost sight of the other!"

Guo Yi couldn't help laughing excitedly as he looked at the good news sent back by the scouts.

Xu You, who was also sitting in the big tent, stroked his mustache with some complacency.

"This scene is in line with common sense… This move is enough to make Wu County unable to take care of the beginning and the end. The governor only needs to wait another half an hour, and when the 4,000 soldiers march halfway, he can lead the troops to cross the river."

"At that time, when Li Zikun, who is waiting in Wu County for the wedding night, learns this news, I am afraid that he will not be able to enjoy the gentle township, but will feel overwhelmed and quickly rush back."

Hearing this, Guo Yi, thinking of Li Ji's embarrassed appearance, couldn't help but reveal a full of joy in his eyes and said.

"It's a pity that when Li Ji's little son tries to rush back to Qiantang County to preside over the overall situation, I am afraid that the three counties in southern Wu County will have all fallen into my hands."

At this moment, Guo Yi had never felt that half an hour was so slow, so slow that Guo Yi repeatedly confirmed the time seven or eight times in this half an hour.

After half an hour, Guo Yi, who had prepared everything, suddenly stood up and said to Xu You.

"Master Ziyuan, please hold off on your meal for now. After I, the Governor, capture Qiantang County, I shall dine with you in the county office of Qiantang County to celebrate."

Xu You couldn't help but respond with a smile, "Very well! Then I shall await news of your triumphant return, my Lord Governor, and then cross the river to dine with you in Qiantang County. It will be as if I am attending a portion of Li Zikun's wedding banquet."
