Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 114

Watching Jia Xu leave, Li Ji's eyes flashed slightly.

Previously, when Julu was first coerced into joining the Liu Bei Group, Jia Xu's attitude was almost always to lie flat.

Resistance means not resisting, but there is also no active cooperation at all, just like a dead fish lying around and letting Li Ji swing around.

Now, Jia Xu has actually moved a little consciously, which completely shows that Jia Xu has unknowingly turned into the shape of Liu Bei, and he had previously hinted to guide Jia Xu to worship his master, and Jia Xu has also become nothing. Resistance psychology.

Sure enough, love grows over time...

Jia Xu's heart will naturally slowly and completely belong to Liu Bei.

In other words, this is an inevitable result, not only because of Liu Bei's unique charm, but more importantly, Liu Bei's maintenance and trust in his subordinates, which will give Jia Xu a strong sense of security.

In the final analysis, Jia Xu is just a counselor who is seriously insecure, and Liu Bei, who already has a place to stay, can provide Jia Xu with the security he values ​​most.

After Li Ji solved the problem of the emperor's envoys, Liu Bei not only successfully served as the governor of Yangzhou, but also before He Jin's fall, Liu Bei's position in Yangzhou was almost impregnable.

If Li Ji's vision is realized perfectly, then when the world is in chaos, Liu Bei will control the entire Yangzhou land and have the basic base to dominate the world.

Under these conditions, even Jia Xu may have developed a sense of urgency, so much so that he rarely offered to guide the envoys sent by the important ministers and families who were still staying in Wu County on Li Ji's behalf.

As for Jia Xu's ability, Li Ji was naturally quite reassured.

Although Jia Xu's acting style is circuitous with Li Ji's, there is always more than one way to reach Rome, as long as Jia Xu can smoothly guide public opinion and put Liu Bei and Li Ji completely in the role of victims and defenders of the scepter.

'My lord has the title of governor, so he may not be able to use it to serve as pastoral minister in the state...'

When this idea came to Li Ji's mind, he couldn't help but feel tired.

Last night, I secretly discussed with He Miao and others for a long time, and was busy making various arrangements in advance to avoid exposing any flaws.

This caused Li Ji to stay up almost all night last night. Now that he relaxed for a moment, Li Ji fell into a deep sleep without knowing it.

I don’t know how many hours passed.

Li Ji was suddenly awakened by Zhang Fei's unique thunderous voice, and bursts of movement came from outside the house.

"Brother, as long as you say a word, I will immediately lead the troops to capture the birdman who injured Mr. Zikun..."

"..."

"Brother, please say something, brother..."

"..."

"Mr. Zikun is still lying inside. Is this the end of the matter?"

"..."

"Third brother, please don't embarrass me. If you attack the emperor's envoy, what is the difference between you and a traitor? A castrated dog is hateful, but he is an envoy of the emperor after all, so he must not be impulsive."

"No, I don't accept it. The eldest brother and the second brother can bear it, but I can't bear it anymore. The worst is, if I don't lead the troops, I will go and beat the birdman to pieces with my face covered alone..."

"Don't go!! Ji Chang, Yun Chang, Zilong, hurry up, stop Yide!"

Just when the scene fell into chaos, the door was pushed open, and Li Ji pretended to be weak and leaned on the door frame, glancing around.

In addition to Liu Bei, Xiahou Bo and Xiahou Lan, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Jian Yong have all arrived. Zhang Fei wants to rush out, but is being held down by Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Bo.

"What's the fuss about?"

Li Ji continued to pretend to be weak and drank softly.

Immediately, Liu Bei came over quickly, supported Li Ji and said. "Why did Zikun get up? Go back and rest quickly."

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others also gathered around, looking at the white cloth wrapped around half of Li Ji's head, with a look of sullenness on their faces.

"The blame for this incident lies with Yun Ye. If Yun was guarding him at the time, Mr. Zikun would not be injured."

"A castrated dog is so hateful, how dare you hurt Mr. Zikun!"

"Mr. Zikun, don't worry, I'll go pick up the gelding's head right away..."

Zhang Fei, who was the most irritable, almost wanted to rush out again.

Li Ji felt the people's support, and while feeling moved in his heart, he said warmly.

"Okay, okay, it's nothing serious, just rest for a while, no need to make a fuss. Especially Yide, I accept your wishes, but you must not be rude to the emperor's envoys."

"But……"

Before Zhang Fei could say anything again, Liu Bei's face darkened and he interrupted.

"That's enough. Zikun still needs to cultivate himself. How is it appropriate to be so noisy? Zikun and I have our own conclusions on this matter. We must not act rashly."

Hearing this, Zhang Fei became furious for a moment. He couldn't help but cross his arms and stomped his feet several times. His wide eyes were filled with anger, but he didn't say anything again. When Li Ji saw this, he knew that Zhang Fei's temper was like this and said warmly.

"Okay, okay, today is the New Year's Eve, there is no need to be angry, and after this incident, it is not appropriate for me to go to Luoyang again. Isn't it a good thing to be able to stay in Wu County?"

It's just that Li Ji didn't say so. When he mentioned this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both had guilty looks on their faces.

Guan Yu clasped his fists and lowered his head.

"Mr. Zikun, Guan is ashamed of you, because he knew that you would leave your eldest brother and go to Luoyang after receiving the order. Guan and his third brother were angry and deliberately did not come to see Mr. Zikun, nor did they accompany their eldest brother and Zikun. Mr. Zikun went to receive the imperial edict, but instead hid in the house and drank, so that Mr. Zikun almost died."

Li Ji is actually quite clear about this matter.

In other words, the prerequisite for Li Ji to have the opportunity to pretend to be injured by Zuo Feng is that the three real strong generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are not present. Otherwise, even if Li Ji wants to kill someone, there will be absolutely no chance. Chance.

Even if Li Ji had the opportunity to step forward and be injured, if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were furious and actually took off Zuo Feng's head on the spot, it would really be like "Oh! It's over!".

Therefore, Li Ji had already known clearly the movements and thoughts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and knew that they would not accompany them to accept the imperial edict.

Zhao Yun has a calm and restrained temperament, so even if Li Ji leaves Wu County for Luoyang, there will be no dissatisfaction. However, Li Ji sent Xia Houlan to find Zhao Yun early this morning, and ordered Zhao Yun to inspect the security of the city after the emperor's envoy arrived in Wu County to prevent thieves from causing trouble. .

As for Xiahou Bo, who was always guarding Liu Bei, Li Ji also arranged to be on guard outside the government office to ensure that Li Ji would not be disturbed.

"I know that Yun Chang is really unwilling to give up on the foundation, and this is just an accident that no one could have expected. What can Yun Chang do? Furthermore, I don't want to leave you all. This accident may not be a blessing. Disaster."

Li Ji comforted Guan Yu and said, otherwise, with Guan Yu's arrogant self-esteem, I am afraid he will feel deeply ashamed of Li Ji for the rest of his life.

"But if Mr. Zikun went to Luoyang to get promoted and make a fortune, wouldn't it be completely ruined?" Zhang Fei said with some pity.

"I don't want to get promoted and get rich. I only want peace in my life."

Li Ji casually expressed his ambition and said. "Instead of traveling to Luoyang, I would rather spend the holiday with you."

"OK OK……"

Liu Bei saw the weakness revealed in Li Ji's words, and quickly stopped Li Ji from continuing to speak, saying.

"Zikun, don't force yourself, go back to the couch and lie down to rest."

Faced with Liu Bei's unreasonable order, Li Ji could only continue to lie down on the couch and continue to rest, and then asked Xia Houlan to bring some classics related to water conservancy to continue reading, thinking about Wu County's specific plan to develop water conservancy. .

Although the water network in Jiangdong is dense, this does not mean that Jiangdong is a livable place at this moment.

On the contrary, floods are common in Jiangdong at this time, rivers are often blocked, many areas have no water network, and droughts occasionally occur.

It can be said that today's Jiangdong land fully illustrates what is meant by "drought kills drought, and waterlogging kills".

In addition, the late Eastern Han Dynasty was the beginning of the "Little Ice Age", and the probability of various extreme weather events was increasing. Therefore, if you want to develop the Wujun land, complete water conservancy facilities are particularly important.

While Li Ji was concentrating on reading the classics, time passed quickly. Before he knew it, the sky outside the window was already dark, and only the festive red lanterns conveyed the joy of the New Year's Eve.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door, and Liu Bei opened the door and walked in, bringing an object that made Li Ji's eyes darken.

wheelchair!

No, there shouldn't be such a name in this era. It's just called a "four-wheeled vehicle"?
  "Lord, what are you doing?" Li Ji asked.

"Yun Chang and I just made this together so that Zikun could use it for transportation for a short time."

Liu Bei said with some pride, obviously having full confidence in his craftsmanship. "Come, Zikun, let me help you sit up and see if it's suitable and comfortable?"

At this time, Li Ji really felt a headache and said.

"Lord, what I injured was my head, not my legs..."

However, Liu Bei did not give Li Ji a chance to refuse. With the combined efforts of Xiahou Bo, Liu Bei easily lifted Li Ji onto the four-wheeled vehicle.

At this moment, Li Ji, who was only sixteen years old, felt that he had avoided decades of detours. He had enjoyed the treatment of his old age at a young age and got on the four-wheeler directly.

For a moment, if it weren't for Li Ji, he would still have some scruples, and he would even want to get up and directly give Liu Bei a set of Kun boxing to prove himself.

"Come on, Zikun, I'll push you."

Immediately, Liu Bei personally pushed Li Ji out of the door, heading towards the main hall where the New Year's Eve dinner was being prepared.

When Liu Bei pushed Li Ji to the main hall, he found that not only Liu Bei's civil servants and military generals were there, but also representatives of important ministers and families headed by He Miao, as well as representatives of local families who had good relations with Liu Bei, were also present.

Later, Liu Bei pushed Li Ji to the first place reserved on the left, and even Guan Yu only occupied the second place on the left.

As for the seats on the right side, the person sitting at the first place is He Miao, and those after him are ranked according to the status of the important ministers and families behind each representative.
