Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

This single sentence struck at the heart of Ze Rong's aspirations.

Simple words, brutally penetrating Ze Rong's heart, further ignited his infinite longing.

With gold everywhere and women aplenty, it was easy for Ze Rong, who was already greedy and lecherous, to conjure up a beautiful scene.

This was a simple linguistic trick.

If certain facts were disregarded, what Jia Xu said was also the truth.

At this moment, the average Yamatai people were mostly scantily clad, but the Yamatai people were not like the Han Chinese; the average Yamatai person was not only short but also emaciated, otherwise Jia Xu would not have used monkeys to describe them.

Throughout Yamatai, the only one who made Jia Xu feel even remotely attracted was Himiko, and then this queen, who had a bit of exotic charm, was sun-dried to death by Li Ji.

Truly lacking in understanding and showing no pity for the fairer sex…

Regarding this, Jia Xu secretly complained several times.

Logically, Jia Xu naturally understood that Li Ji's move was to completely crush the Yamatai Kingdom's faith, preparing for subsequent control of Yamatai using a caste system;

But emotionally, in such a large Yamatai, he couldn't even find a woman with any semblance of beauty, which really made Jia Xu feel helpless.

Perhaps Jia Xu's bottom line was low, but his aesthetic sense was high!

Those ordinary Yamatai women truly couldn't arouse even a trace of lust in Jia Xu.

Compared to those Yamatai women, Jia Xu felt that Li Ji and Zhao Yun were more handsome, and even Zhang Fei didn't seem to lack personal charm.

Jia Xu believed that if the blood-pumping Ze Rong went to Yamatai, he would also comprehend the Buddhist truth of "form is emptiness."

'Isn't it more interesting to be filled with hope and then fall into hell, compared to maintaining despair without ever having hope?'

Jia Xu looked at Ze Rong with a smile, and Ze Rong was so excited that he directly grabbed Jia Xu's wrist and said.

"Mr. Wenhe, is this true?"

"Of course it's true, otherwise why would Lord Guoshi have been managing such a small country for several years? Could it be that Prefect Ze thinks that mere Yamatai can stop the tiger-like warriors of our Great Han? Or does he think that Lord Guoshi's ability is insufficient to quickly pacify Yamatai?"

Jia Xu asked in reply, causing Ze Rong to suddenly notice some blind spots.

"It's just that Lord Guoshi is enjoying himself endlessly in Yamatai…"

After a pause, the corners of Jia Xu's mouth curled up slightly, and he said. "Furthermore, Lord Guoshi once made a remark in Yamatai, I wonder if Prefect Ze has ever heard of it?"

"Please tell me," Ze Rong quickly asked.

"Lord Guoshi once said: 'Here, I am so happy that I do not miss Wu.'"

When Jia Xu said this, he did not forget to look around, fearing that others would hear it.

It wasn't that he was worried about being exposed for lying, but that he was afraid of being overheard by the spy organization controlled by Li Ji, and then it would be passed on to Li Ji's ears.

If Li Ji's reputation was damaged, it was likely that not only would Li Ji maliciously retaliate against Jia Xu, but even Liu Bei, who usually defended Li Ji the most, would severely question Jia Xu.

Therefore, after saying this, Jia Xu was somewhat afraid, and quickly added in a low voice.

"This matter involves Lord Guoshi's secrets, and I only told Prefect Ze because I see that Prefect Ze can be sent to Yamatai by Lord Guoshi as a confidant, so please do not leak it out."

"I understand! I understand!!!"

Ze Rong nodded repeatedly and said. "Such a place with gold and beauties everywhere should naturally not be leaked out."

Am I talking about Yamatai?

I'm talking about my slander behind Li Zikun's back.

However, Jia Xu thought to himself that Ze Rong was about to be thrown to Yamatai to eat dirt and plant cotton, and he probably wouldn't have the chance to return to Han territory in this lifetime.

As long as he could refrain from speaking before the voyage, there would be no chance to speak afterwards.

This completely reassured Jia Xu, and he said.

"Prefect Ze now knows how much Lord Guoshi values you, right? I hope that after Prefect Ze arrives in Yamatai, he will be able to promote me more, and it would be best if Lord Guoshi could also send me to Yamatai."

"Easy to say, easy to say…"

At this moment, Ze Rong's spirit was completely renewed. Not to mention rejecting going to Yamatai, he even couldn't wait to personally row the oars to speed up.

However, after Ze Rong's lower body calmed down a bit, his upper body's brain started to function again, and he suddenly realized some illogical points and asked.

"That's not right, since Yamatai is a treasure land, why would Lord Guoshi still want me to go to Yamatai to preach?"

"Isn't that right?"

Jia Xu asked in reply, saying.

"This is exactly because Lord Guoshi doesn't want to forcibly control Yamatai with bloody methods, so as not to ruin that treasure land, and is trying to use Buddhism to allow the Yamatai women to have the spirit of actively dedicating themselves."

"And the matter of Yamatai is a secret, so naturally the truth cannot be directly told to Prefect Ze, so as not to leak it out. Moreover, Lord Guoshi must also be confident that no matter how dissatisfied Prefect Ze is, he will actively preach with gratitude after arriving in Yamatai, so he didn't say a word, right?"

Ze Rong's breathing became heavier again, and he felt that as Jia Xu revealed the truth, it seemed that everything was completely connected.

May Buddha bless me!

I am blessed! I am blessed!!

The brothers who follow this old monk will also be blessed!

This is the real paradise on earth, right?!

Immediately, Ze Rong's expression became solemn, and he put on a dignified appearance, put his palms together and bowed to Jia Xu, saying.

"Thank you, Mr. Wenhe, for your guidance, this old monk is very grateful, and after this old monk arrives in Yamatai, he will definitely live up to Lord Guoshi's trust and do his best to spread the essence of Buddhism."

In order to make his words more credible, Jia Xu didn't forget to remind Ze Rong at this point. "Prefect Ze, don't forget to find an opportunity to recommend me to Lord Guoshi."

"Easy to say, easy to say, Mr. Wenhe looks like he has deep wisdom roots. Since he has such wisdom roots, he should follow this old monk to Yamatai to give full play to his strengths," Ze Rong replied earnestly.

Jia Xu was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized the meaning of Ze Rong's words and said.

"So that's what wisdom roots are, I'm enlightened."

Immediately, Ze Rong and Jia Xu seemed to have reached some kind of unspoken understanding, and both showed a smile, only Jia Xu's smile seemed to be more meaningful.

After all, Jia Xu was very clear that Ze Rong's wisdom roots would probably be useless after going to Yamatai. On the contrary, Ze Rong was likely to become a Yamatai troublemaker.

Immediately, under Ze Rong's impatient questioning, he continued to introduce the customs and conditions of Yamatai, avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial, and completely satisfied Ze Rong's longing for Yamatai with beautiful linguistic art.

In particular, Jia Xu briefly introduced the current caste system in Yamatai, letting Ze Rong know that Han Chinese were born three levels higher than Yamatai natives, making Ze Rong even more eager to go to Yamatai to do whatever he wanted.

It wasn't until he saw that it was getting late that Jia Xu stopped the topic under Ze Rong's somewhat reluctant gaze.

"By the way, Prefect Ze, there is still one thing that needs Prefect Ze's assistance…"

As Jia Xu spoke, he took out a blank bamboo slip and said.

"Since Prefect Ze needs to go to Yamatai, it is naturally difficult to continue serving as the prefect of Lujiang County, so please Prefect Ze personally write a letter of resignation, and I can take it back to report to Lord Guoshi."

"Easy to say."

At this moment, Ze Rong, who had no resistance to going to Yamatai, would naturally not be attached to the mere position of prefect of Lujiang County.

What Ze Rong pursued was Yamatai, which was full of gold and beauties, and the wonderful and unspeakable Buddhist teachings.

Therefore, Jia Xu only mentioned it simply, and Ze Rong personally wrote a letter of resignation in a flamboyant manner and handed it to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu took it with a smile, and then handed it to the accompanying soldier to carefully keep it.

Even though Liu Bei was nominally the governor of the state, he had the right to independently appoint local officials under the circumstances of the court's decline, but with Ze Rong's personally written letter of resignation, it would naturally be able to be more justified.

As long as Jia Xu took this letter of resignation back to Li Ji, and Li Ji stamped it with Liu Bei's state governor seal, then Ze Rong would be able to gloriously regain his status as a commoner, and there would be no need to worry about the impact on the world.

After writing this letter of resignation, Ze Rong seemed to have unloaded some burden. He looked at the endless sea on the east side, pointed his finger forward, and said.

"This old monk will cross the sea to Yamatai one day to save all living beings, so that they can be enlightened by the essence of Buddhism, escape from the boundless sea of suffering, and enjoy bliss. Wonderful, wonderful."

"Prefect Ze's great ambition will surely be realized soon," Jia Xu continued to flatter with a smile.

"No, don't call me Prefect Ze anymore…"

Ze Rong waved his hand, put his palms together, and said.

"Today I am not yesterday I, now I know who I am. Prefect Ze is a thing of the past, now this old monk is just a monk, determined to cross the sea to Yamatai."

"So that's how it is, Master! Then I wish the master a smooth journey in advance."

Jia Xu replied, trying hard to hold back his laughter, fearing that laughing would arouse Ze Rong's suspicion. (End of chapter)
