Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

However, Zhao Yun seemed to have already received instructions and refused.

"Mr. Zikun, the lord's order is for me to supervise Mr. Zikun's daily martial arts practice for one hour."

"This is not negligence, but a matter of importance," Li Ji said solemnly.

However, Zhao Yun still shook his head and said.

"The lord said that Mr. Zikun is full of cunning schemes, and Yun must not trust any reason. No matter what Mr. Zikun wants to do, he must first complete his daily martial arts practice."

Full of cunning schemes? ?

Li Ji.

"It's resourceful!" Li Ji corrected in annoyance.

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said definitively. "What the lord said was indeed full of cunning schemes, instructing Yun to be more vigilant."

? ? ?

Li Ji.

He always felt that something was not quite right.

No wonder the Liu Bei group would collectively enter Shu and establish the nation, eventually establishing their capital in Chengdu.

So, is the origin of Chengdu's strangeness to be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty?

Li Ji was filled with resentment, and the Han sword in his hand danced more and more urgently. In Zhao Yun's eyes, it seemed that Li Ji's swordsmanship had unknowingly begun to attack the lower body.

This made Zhao Yun secretly raise his vigilance, guarding against the Han sword in Li Ji's hand flying towards him.

Finally, after practicing for a full hour, Li Ji, covered in sweat, entered the house to wash up and changed into a clean white scholar's robe.

It must be said that, perhaps due to the daily martial arts practice during this period, Li Ji, who usually seemed refined and indifferent, also gained a bit of heroic spirit. Moreover, Li Ji was already seven feet tall, his height being almost the same as Zhao Yun's.

Therefore, when Li Ji and Zhao Yun each wore their swords and left the mansion, the two stood together, their demeanor and appearance being equally outstanding.

Although Li Ji had not left the mansion during this period, Zhao Yun occasionally accompanied and guarded Liu Bei to the temporary government office in Julu City. Therefore, under Zhao Yun's guidance, the two headed towards the temporary government office.

Li Ji also took the opportunity to observe the changes in Julu City, watching the city gradually recover its prosperity, and the traces of the Taiping Dao from before had disappeared without a trace.

Perhaps, when the Han army first entered Julu City, many people in the city were still afraid that the Han army would pursue them for their belief in the Taiping Dao.

However, after ten days, the people in the city gradually calmed down and started their lives again.

In the end, the Taiping Dao only ruled Julu City for a few months. Under Lu Zhi's deliberate guidance, Julu City was gradually returning to normal.

The only changes were that words such as "Taiping Dao", "Great Virtuous Teacher", and "Yellow Turban" became taboo in the city, and many familiar faces in the city disappeared, with a large number of villages outside the city being almost deserted.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population of Julu Commandery was almost halved, and the aristocratic families in the commandery either moved away or were sent away.

Before Li Ji and Zhao Yun approached the temporary government office, they heard a commotion coming from the direction of the temporary government office from afar.

Since Li Ji and Zhao Yun still did not have official positions, they could not enter the temporary government office on their own, so they had to find a nearby place to watch from afar.

At this moment, at the entrance of the temporary government office, several people were walking in and out of the temporary government office.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun pointed to the old man wearing a simple robe and with white hair at his temples, who was standing at the front, and said. "Mr. Zikun, that person is General Lu, the Northern Center Protector."

Li Ji nodded, carefully observed Lu Zhi, and then looked at the two people walking side by side with Lu Zhi on the left and right.

One person was about the same age as Lu Zhi, with a resolute and fierce face. Li Ji guessed that he should be Huangfu Song, the Left Center Protector.

The other person was about middle-aged, with a larger figure, his physique obviously several times larger than Lu Zhi's, seemingly more like a charging warrior, or Zhu Jun, the Right Center Protector.

As for the reason why they would deliberately come to meet with Lu Zhi, Li Ji could easily guess.

Now that the large-scale Yellow Turbans who were rebelling near Sili had been completely wiped out, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had fought all the way to the vicinity of Jizhou, and should have come to meet with Lu Zhi on the way, and then lead the army back to Luoyang together to exchange military power and report back.

It should be noted that the titles of general held by Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun are only temporary titles, granted during wartime to command the three armies, and need to be taken back after the war.

Moreover, the main elite soldiers commanded by Lu Zhi and the other three are also under the jurisdiction of the Five Schools of the Northern Army, which are one of the imperial guards of the capital, and also need to be returned.

Then Li Ji continued to look back, and under Zhao Yun's introduction, he also looked at the other two deputy generals standing with Zong Yuan.

Finally, in the third echelon, Li Ji saw Liu Bei's figure.

At this moment, Li Ji no longer had the slightest excitement in his heart when he saw historical figures again. He narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the person with narrow eyes and a long beard standing next to Liu Bei.

Although no one introduced him, Li Ji felt that this person must be Cao Cao.

Moreover, Cao Cao's height was seven feet, which was different from the short stature described in most rumors. Although he had narrow eyes and could be considered a short and small type, he inexplicably had a dignified demeanor.

However, this was normal. The degree of appearance control in this era was extremely deep.

Those who were popular either had to have excellent appearance like Zhou Yu, or had to have special features like Liu Bei, so that others would feel that they were different from ordinary people at a glance.

Although Cao Cao's appearance was not good, his dignified demeanor made people admire him.

In addition to Cao Cao, there were two other people standing on the other side of Liu Bei.

One person had a fierce aura, and his steps were like a tiger, and he should be Sun Jian, known as the "Jiangdong Tiger";

The other person squinted his eyes, his facial features were wrinkled together, and his body was already considered bloated with fat, looking like a large lump from a distance, his physique being even larger than Liu Bei and Cao Cao combined.

'Who is that?'

Li Ji fell into thought, but for a moment he could not think of who this person would be, whose position in Lu Zhi's army was slightly inferior to that of deputy generals such as Zong Yuan, and who had such an outstanding physique.

'Could it be that he is not a historical figure?'

Just as you are looking at the scenery on the bridge, the person looking at the scenery is looking at you upstairs.

What Li Ji didn't know was that he and Zhao Yun were both wearing white robes and standing among a group of ordinary people, their demeanor and appearance being as outstanding as cranes standing among chickens.

Whether it was Cao Cao or Sun Jian, they almost immediately noticed Li Ji and Zhao Yun.

"Those two people don't seem like ordinary people."

"With this demeanor and bearing, they may have great talent."

"Their appearance is very beautiful, their demeanor is quite great, the person on the left is open-minded and elegant, the person on the right is heroic and extraordinary… When I look at them, I feel very fond of them."

As Cao Cao spoke, a few rays of light unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

Sun Jian on the side undoubtedly paid more attention to face and could not do things like treating scholars with courtesy on the street, but he was quite actively fanning the flames.

"Since that's the case, why doesn't Mengde invite them?"

Liu Bei, who was still concentrating on leading the way and introducing Julu City and the temporary government office, heard this and looked over following Cao Cao and Sun Jian's gaze, discovering Li Ji and Zhao Yun.

! ! !

Liu Bei.

At this moment, Liu Bei's mind subconsciously popped out a sentence: Thief Cao, don't touch my Zikun and Zilong!

Just as Cao Cao took a step, intending to invite them over, Liu Bei walked in front of Cao Cao first and said.

"Mengde, I was just about to introduce them to you."

Then, Liu Bei waved to Li Ji and Zhao Yun.

Seeing this, Li Ji and Zhao Yun walked towards Liu Bei and greeted him as "Lord."

Liu Bei then helped Li Ji and Zhao Yun up, and then said with a bit of pride unconsciously appearing between his eyebrows.

"Mengde, Wentai, Zhongying, this is Li Zikun, my strategist. I was able to raise troops in Zhuoxian in just a few months, fight thousands of miles, defeat the Yellow Turbans and burn Zhang Jiao, and be granted the position of Wu Commandery Administrator by the Emperor, all thanks to Zikun's planning…"

After a pause, Liu Bei, not forgetting to favor one over the other, continued to point to Zhao Yun and introduce him.

"This is Zhao Zilong, also my brother. In the Battle of Boluojin, he charged into the formation alone among thousands of troops, saving my life in times of crisis. It was Zilong's功 that allowed me to escape."

However, after Liu Bei finished introducing them, Cao Cao's eyes almost became fiery when he looked at Li Ji.

Sun Jian's attention was mostly focused on Zhao Yun, looking up and down at Zhao Yun's figure, which seemed to be no different from that of a scholar, but he didn't quite believe that Zhao Yun would have the martial prowess to charge into the formation alone.

Immediately, Sun Jian patted Zhao Yun's shoulder hard and said.

"Charging into the formation alone is worthy of being the champion of the three armies. I am Sun Jian, the Separate Division Commander. If there is a chance, let's spar."

Zhao Yun humbly replied. "It's all the lord's overpraise. Yun's charging into the formation was just a momentary surge of energy and blood, with the sole intention of protecting the lord, so I forgot the danger."

However, Sun Jian was obviously quite displeased with this overly humble attitude, feeling that Zhao Yun had publicly rejected him, and after his face darkened slightly, he ignored Zhao Yun.

Liu Bei also took the opportunity to introduce the others to Li Ji and Zhao Yun, saying.

"This is Cavalry Commandant Cao Cao, and he has already been appointed as the Chancellor of Jinan by the imperial court, and he will be going to take office soon."

"I am Cao Mengde."

Cao Cao quickly restrained the heat in his eyes and proactively bowed to Li Ji and Zhao Yun, showing his demeanor.

However, Li Ji, who had already guessed Cao Cao and Sun Jian's identities, focused more on the person who looked like a large lump.

Zhongying?

Isn't that…

Noticing Li Ji's gaze, Liu Bei also introduced him in a timely manner.

"This is Dong Zhongying, the Governor of Bing Province and the Administrator of Hedong Commandery. After clearing the Yellow Turbans in Hedong Commandery, he led his troops south to aid Jizhou."

Dong Zhuo cupped his hands, his eyes, which were narrowed into slits by his fat, made it impossible to see any expression, and said.

"This one greets you."

Li Ji quickly returned the greeting, his mind racing.

As expected, it's Dong Zhuo…

Why is he here?

The General of the North-Center has clearly not been dismissed. Dong Zhuo has no opportunity to replace Lu Zhi as the commander of the Jizhou battlefield, yet he still appears on the Yellow Turban battlefield.

However, after slightly combining various pieces of information, Li Ji already had a guess.
