Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 111 When Yue Hei Feng Gao communicates

It seems that the magistrate of Wu County has an official position of 2,000 dan, and the governor of Yangzhou only has 600 dan, which seems to be just a painless compensation.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo served as the governor of Bingzhou and the governor of Hedong County, which was not too strange.

However, this is not the case. What is important is not the salary of the governor, but the fact that the governor has the ability to supervise all the governors and ministers in a state.

Especially when Liu Bei is the governor of a local county, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

As long as the operation is good enough, Liu Bei can even impeach the governors of various counties in Yangzhou through supervision and impeachment, act as governor in the name of governor, and secretly control the entire Yangzhou area.

"So, Zikun is determined to murder Angel?" Jia Xu asked.

"No!"

"Huh? Does Zikun really plan to follow the angel to Beijing?" Jia Xu asked in surprise.

"Ji also doesn't want to go to Beijing."

"Since Zikun plans to accept the edict, he will either murder the angel or accompany him to the capital." Jia Xu reminded.

"What if I want to receive the edict, but I don't want to murder the angel, let alone enter the capital?" Li Ji said.

"I'm afraid there is no such good thing." Jia Xu replied.

Li Ji's eyes flickered and he said no more. Instead, he turned over on the couch and fell asleep.

This operation can be regarded as making Jia Xu confused and asked.

"Zikun, what are you..."

"Sleep." Li Ji, who had his back turned, waved his hand casually and replied.

"Huh? I'm afraid the angels will know about Zikun's return to Wu County tomorrow at the latest. The situation is so critical, Zikun, how can you still sleep?" Jia Xu asked in surprise.

"What can I do if I don't sleep? Jiji has been running around for seven days and is exhausted. If he doesn't catch up on some sleep, there is a real possibility of sudden death."

Li Ji replied. "Let me have a good night's sleep, and we'll talk about the rest when I wake up."

Jia Xu was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Later, Jia Xu opened a blank bamboo slip in the study, wrote something on it, and left on his own.

After Li Ji felt the movement of Jia Xu's departure, he fell into a deep sleep almost instantly.

When Li Ji woke up from this sleep, it was already dark.

When Li Ji was making arrangements for meals, Xiahoulan reported that Liu Bei had visited him once and waited for half an hour to see that Li Ji was still awake.

Later, after Liu Bei asked Xia Houlan about Li Ji's recent heavy schedule, he left on his own and specially arranged for soldiers to be stationed outside the mansion to prevent anyone from disturbing Li Ji.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Houlan asked the concierge to come over with a large number of greeting cards.

These are the greeting notes left by a large number of envoys from various families who came to visit Li Ji after they heard that Li Ji had returned to Wu County after Liu Bei left.

Fortunately, Liu Bei arranged for soldiers to be stationed outside the mansion, thus blocking the envoys who visited him one after another.

After Li Ji finished his meal, he took out the bamboo slips left by Jia Xu in the study, which recorded the information of the envoys sent by various families.

This made Li Ji couldn't help but secretly sigh. Sometimes it is easier to talk to smart people. Even if there are some things that are inconvenient to express, the other party will already understand and provide assistance.

Later, Li Ji took the bamboo slips and compared them one by one with the invitations left by the envoys.

By the time Li Ji put down the last bamboo slip in a hurry, it was already the beginning of Haishi.

Although it is also New Year's Eve, the curfew is still in effect tonight, and the entire Wu County has become completely quiet.

"Mingzheng, come with me out."

Li Ji motioned to Xia Houlan to carry the greeting cards on his back, and then Li Ji changed into a pair of looser clothes, which slightly helped to hide his face.

Afterwards, Li Ji took Xia Houlan directly towards the mansion or post house where Liu Bei placed the envoys.

Along the way, Li Ji also encountered several waves of county soldiers patrolling after the curfew. However, as the county magistrate of Wu County, Li Ji was asked by the county soldiers why he did not comply with the curfew order.

What's the difference between that and someone in the hall suing me?
  After Li Ji showed his official seal to prove his identity, Li Ji naturally arrived at a mansion without any hindrance in Wu County where the curfew was imposed.

What house!

The envoy sent by General He Jin was none other than his half-brother He Miao, so Liu Bei specially prepared a mansion for He Miao as a temporary residence.

Li Ji recalled the information about He Miao written by Jia Xu on the bamboo slips, and his expression couldn't help but become a little weird.

As for his half-brother, it has something to do with the man's rather open ethos.

The legacy of Wei Wu is not only caused by Boss Cao, but also by a large group of people represented by Boss Cao!
  To put it simply, the relationship between General He Jin and He Miao is roughly similar to the relationship between Xia Yu and Liu Xing.

He Miao's biological mother remarried to He Jin's biological father, and then He Jin's biological father and He Miao's biological mother gave birth to the current Queen He. Therefore, although He Miao and He Jin are half-mothers, they are not related to each other. He Miao is also a relative of Zhenger Bajing. 'The moon is dark and the wind is high, it's a good time to plot...'

Li Ji stroked the greeting card, and then motioned to Xia Houlan to knock on the door and hand over the greeting card.

Soon, Li Ji was welcomed in.

However, He Miao did not greet Li Ji in person, but waited for Li Ji in the main hall, showing off his status as a relative.

However, Li Ji didn't care about the score of a chess piece, let alone care about a dying person.

The so-called relatives of the Han Dynasty, even if they are powerful for a while, none of them will end well.

Every foreign relative has not learned any lessons from history. They still go their own way, still have overwhelming power, still control the government, and in the end they still die.

Every move he made after having a brief contact with He Miao fully revealed He Miao's domineering pride. He even expressed his satisfaction with Li Jishi's personal visit to the current affairs.

After Li Ji talked with He Miao for a while, he left He Mansion under He Miao's satisfied gaze, and then headed to the inn to visit the envoys one by one.

Among them, what Li Ji was slightly concerned about was that the Yuan family sent two envoys, one was Xu You sent by Yuan Shao, and the other was Yan Xiang sent by Yuan Shu.

The struggle between the twins of the Yuan family has undoubtedly begun to become increasingly fierce.

Most of these envoys came to win over Li Ji and express friendship.

In addition, even Liu Yan sent an envoy, and after some inquiries, Li Ji learned that the "State Mu Policy" had been adopted.

Of course, not every state will set up a state pastor. The original intention of today's emperor is obviously to only set up a state pastor in those areas that are prone to rebellion and are too remote to maintain their rule.

And due to Yizhou's unique geographical location, Liu Yan also successfully won the position of Yizhou's prefecture, and will go to Yizhou to take office next year.

In addition, the emperor also intended to set up a state pastoralist in Jiaozhou, the most remote place in the entire Han Dynasty.

Separatism will begin...

In this regard, Li Ji had some expectations, knowing that after Liu Yan took office as the governor of Yizhou, he would truly open up the situation of separatism among the entire Han Dynasty.

Among them, Liu Yan took the lead in encouraging the bandits to respect themselves and did not listen to orders. Without waiting for the death of Emperor Ling, he directly controlled Zhang Lu to launch a rebellion in Hanzhong, cutting off the passage between the imperial court and Yizhou, and thus naturally began to separate one side from another.

This approach is undoubtedly similar to the suggestions made by Jia Xu before. Although it was too explicit and tried to hide, it also made the court helpless against Liu Yan and completely lost control of Yizhou.

For Li Ji, tonight was undoubtedly a busy night, going in and out of rooms and conducting in-depth communications with various envoys.

By the time Li Ji returned to the mansion, his legs were already weak from exhaustion.

Fortunately, Li Ji was quite satisfied with the result this time, and fell asleep when he returned to the mansion.

The next day.

Liu Bei came to visit Li Ji almost early in the morning and did not talk about government affairs. He was not even like his lord at all.

On the contrary, Liu Bei was more like a close friend who never wanted to leave. He sat opposite Li Ji, with a pot of fine wine and a cup of tea, laughing about the past and looking forward to his hopes for the future.

Liu Bei even personally measured the size of Li Ji's feet. As the festival was approaching, he seemed to have nothing to give to Li Ji, so he planned to make a pair of straw sandals for Li Ji himself.

Li Ji knew Liu Bei's true thoughts, and was moved in his heart. He understood that although it was not appropriate for Liu Bei, as the governor of a county, to continue to weave mats and sell shoes, he felt Liu Bei's sincere friendship.

Li Ji did not stop Liu Bei, but happily expressed his expectation.

Perhaps weaving mats and selling shoes was not in line with the status of a county governor, but Li Ji actually didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

For Liu Bei, it is not necessary to be good at military and political strategies, but staying true to his original intention is more important than anything else.

Only in this way can we go from beginning to end and reach the other side where we really want to reach, without being led astray by the scenery along the way.

For Liu Bei, time seemed to fly by quickly. Before he could sit down and chat with Li Ji so leisurely, and there were still many unfinished words in his heart, someone came to report that the angel had arrived in Wu County.

At this moment, Liu Bei couldn't help flashing some anger in his eyes, and for the first time he felt a bit disrespectful towards the emperor's envoy whom he respected in his heart.

Why... come back so quickly? !
  However, Liu Bei could only quickly arrange for his servants to prepare the necessary gifts in the government office, and then hurried back to the government office with Li Ji to burn incense to welcome the emperor's envoy.

Soon, the eunuch holding the scepter representing the status of the emperor's envoy arrived in front of the Wu County government office. His face was white and beardless, and he seemed to have deliberately arranged his appearance before arriving at the government office. He still couldn't hide his tiredness.

After the process was quickly completed, the eunuch opened the edict and announced it.

"In the winter of December of the first year of Zhongping, I heard that there was a rebellion in Wu County by Yan Baihu..."

The content was almost the same as what Jia Xu had inquired about before. After praising the achievements of Liu Bei and Li Ji at the beginning, he named Liu Bei the "Provincial Governor of Yangzhou" and ordered Li Ji to come to Beijing to meet the saints and then reward and canonize them.

After the edict was read, Liu Bei did not feel happy at all. Instead, he led Li Ji to stand up and receive the edict with a gloomy expression.

However, just when the eunuch's eyes fell on Li Ji and he was about to say something, there was sudden movement from behind.

"Wait a minute, gelded dog!"
