Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 1 Strategy Simulator

Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Youzhou, suburbs.

"Yawn~~~"

Li Ji lazily climbed up from the straw mat, grabbed his scattered hair, and casually pulled the "Hanfu" on his body in various senses.

It's just a pity that in this real period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were no such bright colors as later generations. What Li Ji wore was just a scholar's uniform that was almost stripped of starch after washing.

Li Ji finally found this corpse from a dead scholar.

[The nine hundred and thirteenth day traveling through the Eastern Han Dynasty.

sunny.

There are still five days of food left in the house.

Will starve to death.

Please take care of me, no matter whether you are male or female, no matter how tall or short you are, whether you are fat or thin...

The Yellow Turban Rebellion has broken out. When will the gears of fate begin to turn towards me? 】

Li Ji passed the boring time by writing and drawing on the wall next to the straw mat with charcoal, writing and erasing at the same time.

When he first traveled through the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Ji was full of heroic words;

Until he was hungry for the first time, Li Ji was forced to remain silent;

Then when he was almost arrested and sent to jail to drink chrysanthemum tea because of his strange clothes and unknown identity, Li Ji almost talked nonsense.

These nine hundred and thirteen days of difficult survival allowed Li Ji to fully integrate into this era. At the same time, he also truly realized that the common people at the bottom of the Eastern Han Dynasty did not have any promotion channels, even if they wanted to dig a bite in the fields. It's extremely difficult.

As strong as the ruthless Zhu Yuanzhang, he had no opportunities when he was young. He still had to hold the bowl when he should, and he still had to ask for rewards from the big brother on the list.

Therefore, Li Ji, who deeply understood that opportunities were more important than anything else, was not in a hurry to do anything unnecessary. While ensuring basic food and clothing as much as possible, he waited for opportunities in this place of his choice.

Suddenly, Li Ji's eyes that looked outside the room from time to time paused, and his lazy eyes changed instantly, staring at the three figures appearing in the distance.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei!
  "coming!"

Li Ji's heart beat hard, knowing that this was the best opportunity he could seize at this stage.

Among the many princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, excluding Cao Liusun, who had a promising future, the other princes not only had more or less serious problems, but more importantly, they had extremely serious sectarian ideas.

It is difficult for a child from a poor family to rise up!
  Even wizards such as Guo Jiana were not valued by Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince.

Among the three imperial families, Cao Cao may be a man of talent and not care about his humble status, but the real core of the Cao Cao Group is undoubtedly the Cao family.

Even Xun Yu, who assisted Cao Cao in his rise, did not die well. Coupled with Cao Cao's paranoia in his later period, Li Ji was worried that the "retirement pension" he had worked hard for half his life would instead cost the Cao family a lot of money. .

Relatively speaking, Liu Bei's early and middle years may have been extremely difficult, but Liu Bei was able to entrust all the affairs of a country to the hands of an outsider, Zhuge Liang, which shows that he has a broad mind and a benevolent heart.

As for the Soochow Sun family... Well, except for the eldest lady, let’s not talk about it.

And just as the Fortune 500 say they only look at ability and not academic qualifications, but they will never recruit from non-prestigious universities.

So what's more important is that with Li Ji's current status as a gangster, he is not even from a humble family. Naturally, the only potential stock that he can come into contact with is Liu Bei.

The next moment, Li Ji acted as if he had rehearsed it countless times in advance. In just a few breaths, he cleaned up his original slovenly image and looked like a hermit sage.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ji seemed to be careless, but in fact he was full of scheming. He turned his back to the door and propped his head on his arms as if he was sleeping.

Not long after, the faint sound of conversation outside the house reached Li Ji's ears.

"Second brother, third brother, it seems that Daxian is not awake yet. I will wait outside the house for a moment so as not to disturb Daxian."

"Brother, it's already three o'clock in the morning, how can someone still be awake? Let me wake him up."

"No, third brother, the rebel army we have formed is short of a planner..."

Gradually, the voice became lower and lower, and Li Ji could no longer hear the specific conversation clearly.

Li Ji's mind was more concentrated in his consciousness, and he began to perform deductions with the ability he named [Strategy Simulator].

Of course, the "strategy simulator" does not show the future, but enters a special state of absolute rationality to deduce his own choices based on various conditions known to Li Ji.

In the past, Li Ji was almost caught by a government officer and thrown into prison and forced to eat grass-root chrysanthemum tea. This was the result of a failed escape plan deduced in the "Strategy Simulator".

[This is the 913th day that you traveled to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Through a series of packaging strategies designed in the early stage, your reputation finally reached the ears of Liu Bei, who was both ambitious and hesitant.

Therefore, you finally waited for Liu Guanzhang, who was sworn in Taoyuan and later looked for the great sage. You thought this was the best opportunity you could seize in this era.

In order to become the mastermind recognized by Liu Guanzhang, you choose...]

[1. Play hard to get; 2. Fight with three heroes; 3. bluff]

Li Ji closed his eyelids and moved slightly, thinking about these three options, understanding that this was the [strategy simulator] giving the three most likely strategies to succeed based on his own abilities.

With Li Ji's current ability, he can barely support two options deductions in the short term.

After a slight hesitation, Li Ji's heart sank and he chose [Play Hard to Get].

[While Liu Guan and Zhang were waiting outside the house, you took into account Liu Bei's many deeds and decided to deal with the visit of Liu, Guan, and Zhang in a hard-to-get manner.

Just like the difference between Zhuge Liang's three visits to the thatched cottage and Pang Tong's self-delivery, it undoubtedly determines the status gap between the equally famous Crouching Dragon and Phoenix in Liu Bei's heart.

Human nature does not cherish or value what is easily obtained.

So you take a nap in the thatched hut and let Liu, Guan, and Zhang wait quietly outside.
  During this period, you choose...]

【1. Continue to sleep; 2. Get up】

The time deduced in the "strategy simulator" passes quickly. Just when you feel that it is almost done and you are about to choose [Get Up], the information deduced in the "strategy simulator" changes.

[Time continues to pass, an hour has passed, the sun is like fire, Liu, Guan, and Zhang are sweating profusely. Zhang Fei, the most irritable, is impatient to the extreme, and breaks into the hut by force, while angrily scolding you for teasing them. , while tying you under the tree next to the hut.

You quickly explained and asked Liu Bei for help.

It's just that young Liu Bei already has anger in his heart, thinking that your attitude is implicitly rejecting him in such a contemptuous way. It wasn't until Zhang Fei was so angry that he whipped you several times with his whip, and then Liu Bei couldn't bear to stop Zhang Fei.

It was just that Liu, Guan, and Zhang had just become sworn sworn brothers, and Liu Bei's prestige was far from strong enough to force Zhang Fei to stop. It wasn't until Zhang Fei hit you that your skin was bruised, and then he stopped and left under the dissuasion of Liu Bei and Guan Yu. 】

[However, what no one expected was that your wound was accidentally infected. After five days of eating the remaining food in the hut, the wound not only did not heal, but became more serious, and you fell into a state of high fever and near death...

You are living in a deserted suburb, and no one notices that your condition is getting worse and worse, and you even feel that you are about to starve to death.

A group of yellow turban thieves who wanted to rob broke in. However, the yellow turban thieves looked at you, who was surrounded by your family and on the verge of death, and shook his head helplessly and sympathetically. A little girl secretly left you a small bite to eat out of sympathy. .

In the end, knowing that you were going to die, you did not take that bite of food and continue to prolong your painful life, but let the remaining candle slowly extinguish in the wind.

you are dead. 】

[Strategy evaluation: In order to give you and Liu Bei a bright future, you chose to play hard to get to face Liu Bei, but you ignored the differences in Liu Bei in different periods, lost your only chance, and died miserably in a leaky and dilapidated hut. Among them, he even gained the sympathy of the little girl in yellow scarf who was also hungry.

You have the potential to stir up the turmoil of the times, but your extremely low ability to resist risks and your wrong choices caused you to die in obscurity before you even came out of the mountain. Completely lost in time. 】

As the final comment appeared, Li Ji's face became almost visibly pale.

It wasn't because of the heart-wrenching comments, but because the scenes deduced by the "strategy simulator" came to mind almost clearly.

Although Li Ji could not clearly see the face of the yellow turban thief he had never seen before, he could clearly see the entire process of his own death.

This kind of complete death experience is not a good feeling.

'Failed! '

Li Ji took a deep breath, quickly suppressed the frustration in his heart, and then reflected on his mistake.

Although the information based on history gave Li Ji a huge advantage, the deduction of this strategy also made Li Ji realize that the characters in history with their own faces...are all living people!
  Even the same person may make different choices at different times, in different states, and in different moods.

When he visited the thatched cottage three times, Liu Bei could stop Zhang Fei from burning Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage, but he couldn't stop Zhang Fei from whipping himself at this time.

Therefore, for Liu Bei, who is only in his early twenties, it makes little sense to fight for status by playing hard to get.

Immediately, Li Ji rubbed his swollen temples and focused on the three options again.

[1. Play hard to get; 2. Fight with three heroes; 3. bluff]

"Play hard to get" can be re-enacted, and then Li Ji can choose to get up faster to prevent the irritable Zhang Fei from reaching the limit of his patience.

However, after realizing that Liu Bei at this period did not accept this trick, Li Ji naturally would not engage in meaningless deductions again. This time, Li Ji's eyes wandered between "talking with three heroes" and "bluffing".

The "strategy simulator" is based on Li Ji's own abilities.

For example, if Li Ji doesn't understand what "Ambush from Flying Daggers" is exactly, the "Strategy Deduction Device" will not have the option of "Ambush from Flying Daggers" no matter what.

Even Li Ji found that the success rate of a certain strategy in the deduction was closely related to his understanding and mastery of the strategy.

Therefore, even if the deduction has not actually started, Li Ji already knows what the "Three Heroes" and "bluffing" generally need to do.

Among the "war of words" among the three heroes, the so-called "war of words" is naturally debating with Liu Guan and Zhang, and trying head-on to gain trust and status by crushing their talents and knowledge.

As for "bluffing", it is undoubtedly a pretense. Generally speaking, it relies on the understanding of the future to show off predictions, and then astonish Liu Guan and Zhang.

Both of them communicate with Liu Guan and Zhang, but in exactly the opposite way.

Although Li Ji is very proud of his nine-year compulsory education, he is also very aware that his shortcoming is that he has not had the opportunity to slowly study various military books in this era.

However, there is a straw sandal seller, a fugitive, and a pig butcher.

Therefore, if we fight head-on with one against three... I still have the advantage!
  However, after hesitating for a moment, Li Ji still chose [bluffing].

Since ancient times, the true feelings have not been retained, and only the routines have won the hearts of the people.

There was only one chance left, and Li Ji was not allowed to take risks. Compared with a head-on verbal battle, the risk of "bluffing" was undoubtedly smaller.

[While Liu Guan and Zhang were waiting outside the house, you combined the lessons learned from the previous deduction and decided to use bluff to deal with the visit of Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

You don’t want to spend the first half of your life wandering around with Liu Bei, being defeated and defeated again, and fleeing from disaster to disaster.

You want your life to always be driven by success.

You still have unquenched ambitions in your heart. You hope that you can become a person who changes the times. You are eager to shine in this heroic and brilliant era of the late Han Dynasty, and your light will not be covered up by anyone. You want your reputation to be passed down to thousands of people. Year, you want to be on the first page of the thousand-year genealogy...

The first step for you to achieve all this is to gain Liu Bei's absolute trust, so that you can guide Liu Bei in a different direction from his original wandering trajectory. 】

[You have made a complete decision in your heart. Outside the house, Liu, Guan, and Zhang are still curiously observing you from a distance through the window of the hut. You wake up leisurely and read:

Who will wake up first from the big dream?
  I know myself all my life.

A good spring sleep in the thatched cottage,
  The sun is getting late outside the window.

Immediately, you pretended to have just discovered Liu, Guan, and Zhang outside the house, and quickly invited Liu, Guan, and Zhang, who were frightened by your preemptive move, into the house.

Then, in the conversation with Liu Bei, you always firmly took the initiative and guided the topic to the general trend of the world that you are good at.

Liu Bei was impressed by the ability you showed, Zhang Fei was amazed, and Guan Yu opened his eyes slightly for you and looked at you seriously.

As Liu Bei was astonished by your abilities and was about to bow down to you and implore you to come out and make suggestions for the rebels to pacify the world, Guan Yu first respectfully asked you a few questions about the "Spring and Autumn Zuo Zhuan" . 】

[However, if you have never read "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan", you will not be able to answer the question at all. You can only hesitate and evade.

This anomaly could not be hidden from Liu, Guan, and Zhang, and Guan Yu was furious and scolded.

If you don't even read Chunqiu, how can you be qualified to associate with Guan?

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei looked at you with suspicion again. Although you tried to explain, the situation was like someone who didn't understand quadratic functions talking about calculus, which led Liu, Guan, and Zhang to believe that you only had individual motives. Liars, they all yelled at you.

If Liu Bei had not stopped Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in time, I am afraid that you, who would be considered a liar, would be beaten to death by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the spot.

But even so, having completely lost the trust of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, you can only part ways with them.

Afterwards, you wandered around and tried to join other princes to realize your ambition. However, as a white man with no access to a large number of books on the art of war, you were not accepted by any princes. Instead, you accidentally contracted the plague in your middle age and drank a cup of turbidity. Drink, die poor and full of regrets. 】
