Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

"Gong Yi, thank you for making the trip back and forth. Please rest for now. I will recommend you to the lord later," Li Ji said with a smile.

Jiang Qin replied quickly, "I have only done a little hard work and dare not take credit for it. This great victory is really thanks to your brilliant plan, sir."

Immediately, Jiang Qin was directly arranged by Li Ji to rest in the government office, and then someone was sent to invite Liu Bei over.

Although the overall situation of the war in the southern part of Wu County has been decided, there are still various arrangements after the war that need to be decided by Liu Bei himself.

After Li Ji had arranged all of these, Guo Jia, who had been following Li Ji, asked.

"I didn't expect that you, sir, had already decided on a brilliant plan, using the wedding as a bait to win the battle in one fell swoop."

Li Ji smiled and replied.

"What brilliant plan is there? It's just relying on the advantage of the giant ships to catch them all in one net. After destroying a batch of ferries in Guo Yi's hands before, the outcome was already doomed. By the time he collects enough ferries again, the giant ships of my Wu County will have already been built."

"Naval warfare especially values the advantage of ships!"

Guo Jia silently listened, naturally not believing that kind of statement that seemed like anyone could do it.

If anyone really believed it, they would be a real fool.

Not to mention that Li Ji had set the "attack them halfway across" plan for Guo Yi two months in advance, but even the previous ambush to destroy and capture a batch of ferries in Kuaiji County was not something ordinary people could do.

"On the contrary, the Shanyue are a rather tricky problem. If we blindly resist and then let the tiger return to the mountain, they may still harass us from time to time in the future. Therefore, how to solve the Shanyue problem once and for all is the real difficulty."

"And it was Fengxiao's previous advice that provided me with ideas. Taking advantage of the insufficient military strength in Wu County, we nominally withdrew the troops from Fuchun Mountain on the grounds of focusing on the Qiantang River defense line, and then lured the Shanyue into the game through Guo Yi's hands."

"As long as we, as Fengxiao said, destroy the water source in Fuchun Mountain and leave a certain amount of food and a large amount of money, it will be enough for the Shanyue to wander and enjoy themselves in the camp."

"In this way, we can take the opportunity to transport troops by ship upstream along the Qiantang River and quickly transfer them to Fuchun Mountain, closing the lid on the 'urn' of Fuchun Mountain, and this 'inviting the king into the urn' will be completed."

Li Ji seemed to be giving instructions, and also seemed to be discussing the ideas of this plan with Guo Jia.

However, Guo Jia naturally did not dare to take credit, saying.

"How can Jia not know that if we completely set up the 'inviting the king into the urn' as we imagined, the feasibility is quite low. The key is the series of concealments arranged by you, sir, so that the Shanyue and Guo Yi did not have the slightest suspicion and entered this 'urn'."

Li Ji waved his hand and said, "Fengxiao, don't be too modest. This is brainstorming. If it were just me alone, I might not be able to think of this plan."

At this moment, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei walked into the main hall one after the other, followed by Xiahou Bo, who was inseparable from them on weekdays.

Seeing Li Ji and Guo Jia seemingly discussing something in the main hall, Liu Bei asked from afar.

"Zikun and Fengxiao, are you discussing something important?"

Immediately, Li Ji and Guo Jia quickly got up and saluted Liu Bei.

"Lord."

"There are no outsiders here, so there is no need for those cumbersome customs," Liu Bei stepped forward and directly helped up the bowing Li Ji, and then did not forget to nod slightly to Guo Jia to show his intention, saying.

"On the contrary, why did Zikun get up so early? Why not rest a little longer."

Zhang Fei also followed with a loud voice, "That's right, that's right, Mr. Zikun should not have experienced the joy of the boudoir yet. Why did you get up so early?"

Li Ji, whose skin was not as thick as Zhang Fei's in this regard, looked slightly unnatural after being said that, and cupped his hands, saying, "I dare not neglect public affairs for private matters."

Liu Bei noticed Li Ji's embarrassment, and immediately scolded Zhang Fei, saying, "Yide, how can you talk to Zikun like this?"

Suddenly, Zhang Fei's originally wide mouth stiffened, and he had to close it again.

Immediately, Li Ji subtly gave Liu Bei a look, and Liu Bei, understanding, asked Xiahou Bo to guard outside the main hall, not allowing anyone to enter, to discuss important matters with Li Ji.

Seeing this, Guo Jia also retreated tactfully on the pretext of preparing tea.

Soon, only Liu Bei, Li Ji, and Zhang Fei were left in the main hall.

Liu Bei did not sit in the main seat, but pulled Li Ji and Zhang Fei to sit down on both sides, and let out a sigh.

"Every day I am always entangled in trivial matters. It has been a long time since the three of us have sat down like this. If Yunchang is also in Wu County, then it can be regarded as a rare reunion for the four of us brothers."

The words in these words undoubtedly all show that Liu Bei also has circles in his heart.

No matter how much Liu Bei values and trusts the other civil and military generals, in Liu Bei's heart, only Li Ji, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are the true brothers who rose from humble beginnings and will not abandon each other in life and death.

This also made Li Ji feel a bit emotional and asked with some doubts.

"Why did Yide come to the government office with the lord?"

"Yide was drunk last night, so I simply took Yide back to the mansion to rest. Hearing that Zikun had important matters to ask for, I brought Yide along," Liu Bei replied.

Li Ji was not surprised by this, but instead asked Zhang Fei with a half-smile.

"Then Yide, what have you gained from participating in 'relief through work'?"

Zhang Fei patted his chest and replied proudly, "Mr. Zikun, don't worry, I definitely didn't slack off. One person did more work than five or six people."

This made Liu Bei couldn't help but kick Zhang Fei lightly, scolding and reminding him, "What is Zikun asking about inner gains? How did I tell you last night?"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei immediately woke up and cupped his hands to Li Ji.

"I have already understood Mr. Zikun's good intentions. The reason why I often beat and scold the soldiers before was because I thought they were not working hard enough."

"This time, I truly lived and ate with those young and strong refugees, and I realized that it was not that they were lazy, but that they had already exhausted all their strength. From now on, I will definitely not do such things as whipping soldiers again."

Looking at Zhang Fei's serious expression, Li Ji also knew that Zhang Fei was definitely not just putting on a show, saying.

"In this way, it is not in vain for Yide to take a trip to the river, so that the whole person has become even darker."

In an instant, the main hall was filled with laughter, and even Zhang Fei laughed along.

Zhang Fei's complexion was already dark before, and after being exposed to the sun day and night for so long, the whole person had a tendency to become black and shiny.

Immediately, after the laughter subsided slightly, Li Ji also began to seriously tell Liu Bei about the current changes in the situation in the southern part of Wu County.

Although Liu Bei knew about Li Ji's layout and arrangements in the southern part of Wu County before, he was still greatly shocked when he woke up and found that the situation was exactly the same as Li Ji had initially predicted.

Liu Bei stroked his beard while sighing with shock.

"Zikun's talent is already unpredictable. Fortunately, Zikun is of the same mind and virtue as me. Otherwise, if Zikun were opposed to me, I am afraid that I would be deeply陷 and die without a burial place without even knowing it."

"Lord, you are too kind, and I am able to have today, also thanks to the lord's trust."

After a pause, Li Ji continued, "It's just that now the more than 30,000 Shanyue bandits are all trapped in Fuchun Mountain. How to decide the disposal, please show your instructions, Lord."

Hearing this, Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Brother, Mr. Zikun, I have a plan to teach the Shanyue so that they will no longer pose a threat."

"Yide, you also have a plan?" Li Ji asked with some surprise.

"That's natural. During this time, I have been digging river channels during the day, and reading military books at night. I also have strategies in my chest."

Zhang Fei said, patting his chest, as if patting his confidence.

Liu Bei and Li Ji looked at each other, revealing the same look at the same time, and then said, "Okay, then please Yide make a plan."

"Cough cough!"

Zhang Fei immediately imitated Li Ji's posture when he made plans, his originally copper bell-sized eyes drooped down, as if he was thinking about something.

After a few breaths, Zhang Fei then squeezed out a somewhat ugly smile, saying.

"Since ancient times, the most dangerous use of soldiers is nothing more than water and fire. I think it is better to arrange more fire-inducing objects around Fuchun Mountain, and then set fire to burn Fuchun Mountain, so that the Shanyue bandits can only be burned alive or smoked to death even if they hide in the camp."

"Didn't Mr. Zikun say that this is 'inviting the king into the urn'? Then it's just right to add fire to this urn! When the more than 30,000 Shanyue die, Wu County will naturally no longer have the trouble of the Shanyue."

Liu Bei nodded, first praised him, saying, "Yide is indeed making great progress, and he already knows how to use plans, very good, very good."

However, while praising him, Liu Bei looked in the direction of Li Ji, revealing a bit of inquiring gaze.

Li Ji shook his head helplessly, expressing his denial, saying.

"Yide, it is now September, how much rainfall is there? And the water content in the dense forests in the mountains is even more abundant. I am afraid that even if all the kerosene in Wu County is used, it will be difficult to burn the entire Fuchun Mountain into a sea of fire."

"Furthermore, water and fire are merciless. Even if the conditions are suitable for using fire, it still needs to be very cautious. Otherwise, once the fire spreads, it may burn thousands of miles in an instant, and then it will be difficult to atone for the crime."

As the saying goes: Setting fire to burn mountains, sitting in prison until the bottom wears out.

Even if there are no such laws in this era, there are no advanced firefighting methods. Moreover, the forest area in this era is surprisingly large, and it can be said that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to put out a fire with manpower alone.

Once the fire spreads out of control, like the kangaroo side burning for a year and a half, then it will really become a historical sinner.

It is said that the滔天 fire will not only burn the Shanyue, but also cause countless people to have to flee their homes and become refugees.

Therefore, Li Ji would not choose to use fire in the forest unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, there would be no need to go through so much trouble to lure the mountain tribes into the "urn" of Fuchun Mountain.

Zhang Fei's originally excited expression stiffened, and he replied awkwardly.

"I, I didn't think of that."

Seeing this, Li Ji naturally wouldn't want to dampen Zhang Fei's enthusiasm, and he encouraged him.

"It's fine, but Yide has indeed made progress, which is a good thing." (End of this chapter)
