Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 119 Occasionally not being a good person

[Strategy evaluation: ...In order to achieve your goal, everything is just a pawn in your eyes. Do you regret it in your heart, and do you occasionally think of that elegant woman who begged in your dreams?

Moreover, thousands of years later, people accidentally excavated the underground of your former residence in Wuxian County, and only then discovered some traces left by Cai Zhaoji, which were eight "poems of grief and anger" used to accuse you.

Let the world know that there was once a poor woman who was quietly buried under the great achievements you made, and the glorious and majestic image you originally left to the world will have a lot of black spots. 】

After reading the deduction information that emerged in his mind, Li Ji, who was usually very concerned about his image, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

In terms of not being a human being, the "strategy simulator" is indeed qualified...

The little black room that a talented and beautiful woman like Cai Zhaoji captured was just forcing her to write classics silently? ? ?
  Li Ji, who suddenly reacted, quickly shook off the evil idea of ​​following that train of thought and corrected himself.

'No, no, no, I mean how could there be such a vicious plot? '

However, Li Ji had to admit that this choice was indeed "hard enough" and indeed maximized efficiency.

As long as Li Ji moves faster, he can easily rob Cai Zhaoji into the dark room of the dungeon without telling everyone else within three days.

Even without the use of punishments such as candle whips, with Li Ji's sharp tongue, Cai Zhaoji could make Cai Zhaoji beg for mercy in a moment and start writing water conservancy classics day and night.

Unfortunately, although this choice was full of feasibility and temptation, Li Ji decided to put this choice aside and ignore it for the time being.

[After your evaluation based on human nature, you decided to treat Cai Zhaoji in a more gentle way. You chose "soft".

Maybe you don't understand women, but you undoubtedly understand men.

And in this era where parents order matchmakers, if you want to get Cai Zhaoji's full help, you only need to get Cai Yong's approval to marry Cai Zhaoji directly. This is undoubtedly an efficient and gentle way. 】

[As for the so-called feelings, in the face of the general trend of the world, it is not a factor you use to weigh your choices.

Only marry someone who is helpful. This is a valuable wife in your eyes.

And if we get along for a long time, we will inevitably become in love with each other for a long time. 】

[After that, you visited Cai Yong many times in the name of asking for advice, and easily gained Cai Yong's recognition and appreciation with your deduction ability and unique thinking and overall view of later generations.

Immediately afterwards, you ask the lord to propose marriage to Cai Yong on your behalf.

Based on your appreciation and reputation, and the fact that you have never been married, you have no contempt for Cai Zhaoji's second marriage. This also makes Cai Yong more satisfied with you and agreed without any resistance, thinking that you will be worthy of Cai Zhaoji's trust. people. 】

[With the name of your fiancé, although you still need to choose a good and auspicious day to get married, it is no longer difficult for you to visit Cai Yong at Cai's house and even want to see and communicate with Cai Zhaoji. .

Cai Zhaoji did not resist your request to write and summarize water conservancy-related content, and quickly provided you with a large amount of water conservancy-related content.

Finally, you successfully completed a satisfactory plan within three months.

Having achieved your goal, in order to avoid possible hidden dangers, you quickly found a perfect reason to cancel the marriage. 】

[Strategy evaluation: Between being a human being and not being a human being, you choose not to be a human being sometimes.

You relied on your reputation and talent to deceive Cai Yong and Cai Zhaoji, but in fact you just regarded Cai Zhaoji as a tool.

When Cai Zhaoji lost most of her value, you chose to get rid of Cai Zhaoji without hesitation, and Cai Zhaoji's already bad reputation due to the early death of her ex-husband suffered another heavy blow.

Perhaps, until you meet Cai Zhaoji again in middle age, who has never remarried in your life, you will feel a wave of guilt in your heart. 】

……

Li Ji.

At this moment, Li Jidu had to wonder if he was really that shameless?
  No, no, no, the shameless one is definitely "strategy simulator".

When he saw the content of the deduction, Li Ji thought that he would get married. Unexpectedly, he actually chose to break off the engagement in the end.

Rationally speaking, that is indeed the best choice.

Setting the wedding date just gave Li Ji a name that allowed him to contact Cai Zhaoji in a natural way and get Cai Zhaoji's wholehearted help.

After Li Ji completed the water conservancy plan, Cai Zhaoji's value naturally declined.

"To marry or not to marry"

Among the interests measured by the strategy simulator with absolute rationality, it is undoubtedly more appropriate to abandon Cai Zhaoji.

After all, Li Ji will continue to make progress, and the vacant position of head wife can also seek greater political benefits.

only……

This time the so-called "soft" may not be illegal, but there is something wrong with it.

Li Ji couldn't help but reappear that elegant silhouette in his mind, and a bit of hesitation flashed in his heart.

At the moment, it is undoubtedly the best choice for Li Ji to get Cai Zhaoji's full help as soon as possible and complete the planning plan in time.

But what Li Ji hesitates about...is he really going to marry Cai Zhaoji?
  First wife!

Li Ji knew very well that he had indeed reached the age of marrying a wife in this era. Originally, Li Ji avoided Liu Bei's occasional insinuations, for fear that Liu Bei would rashly arrange a marriage with some young girl to Li Ji.

In fact, every time Liu Bei continued to ask, Li Ji would express his appreciation for some mature women. But now, compared to facing Liu Bei's forced marriage sooner or later, perhaps choosing Cai Zhaoji is a good choice.

Furthermore, Li Ji couldn't do that kind of thing if he could use the other person completely and then find an excuse to abandon a woman who had made an engagement.

"Mingzheng!"

Immediately, Li Ji, who had made a decision in his heart, shouted, and then asked Xia Houlan to prepare gifts and invitations.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Li Ji once again took a four-wheeler and headed towards Cai Mansion.

Ok……

Does this still count as having a car and a house?

Isn’t a wheelchair a car?
  Of course, the real reason is that outsiders have too many eyes, and Li Ji was injured only about ten days ago. In order to avoid unnecessary suspicion, Li Ji naturally tried his best to avoid this problem in the outside world.

Cai Yong also welcomed Li Ji's solo visit with pleasure.

After Li Ji's deliberate consultation and demonstration, Cai Yong quickly realized that Li Ji, who was famous all over the world, was a man of honor despite his reputation.

Perhaps, only in terms of Confucian classics, Li Ji was only at the level of an ordinary scholar.

However, Cai Yong, who has experienced so many ups and downs in the court, is not the kind of stubborn person who blindly follows Confucianism. On the contrary, Cai Yong's academic philosophy is based on Confucianism as his bones and miscellaneous families as his skin.

Otherwise, Cai Yong's collection of books would not be all-inclusive and involve all aspects of content.

However, in terms of military strategy, astronomy and geography, governance and caring for the people, Li Ji's abilities impressed Cai Yong.

And Li Ji, who secretly regarded Cai Yong as his father-in-law, deliberately agreed and cooperated, and both sides became each other's teachers for a while, and both felt that they had benefited a lot.

For the next three days, Li Ji prepared to visit Cai Yong every day. The relationship between the two parties also improved by leaps and bounds. Cai Yong even felt that Li Ji was an old friend.

That is to say, Li Ji was not very interested in Confucian classics, calligraphy, and music, the three areas where Cai Yong was best at. Otherwise, Cai Yong really wanted to accept Li Ji as his direct disciple.

But what Cai Yong didn't know at all was that his year-end friend was purely for his daughter.

After three days of communication with Cai Yong, Li Ji has determined that Cai Yong, an old man, has a poor memory and is not at all like a humanoid self-propelled library like Cai Zhaoji.

Otherwise, Li Ji might just keep an eye on Cai Yong and develop all the water conservancy classics from Cai Yong.

As the visit to Cai Yong ended on the third day, when Li Ji was pushed by Xia Houlan to leave the Cai Mansion, Li Ji felt that he was almost done, and turned to Xia Houlan behind him.

"Mingzheng, go and invite the lord over."

"what?!"

Xia Houlan seemed to be startled by the suddenness of these words, and suddenly became a little panicked.

"Ok?"

Li Ji listened to Xia Houlan's slightly strange reaction and turned to look at Xia Houlan behind him. Xia Houlan showed a stiff smile and said.

"Sir, what can I do for you, my lord?"

When Li Ji heard this, he took a deep look at Xia Houlan and felt that Xia Houlan seemed to be hiding something from him, and it was probably related to Liu Bei.

After all, Xia Houlan is still too young, so young that she can't hide her inner thoughts at all, so that people can often guess it at a glance.

This is also the main reason why Li Ji will keep Xia Houlan by his side.

Apart from Xia Houlan's loyalty, even if Xia Houlan did something secretly, he would not cover it up at all.

It's a bit silly...

However, Li Ji did not expose Xia Houlan, but said directly. "Talk too much, just go away."

"Yes, sir."

Xia Houlan quickly agreed and then went to look for Liu Bei.

Li Ji, on the other hand, returned to the mansion under the protection of the remaining guards.

However, after Li Ji walked away, Xia Houlan, who was supposed to invite Liu Bei, came out of a blind corner, with Liu Bei, Jia Xu, Xia Houbo and Zhao Yun squatting beside him.

"Did Zikun discover us? Or did Mingzheng tell Zikun?" Liu Bei asked Xia Houlan.

Xia Houlan raised three fingers and swore. "Lord, I definitely didn't betray you. My husband forced me to ask, but I didn't say anything."

Jia Xu on the side said something meaningful.

"Zi Kun has roughly guessed it, but that's not important, is it? Visiting Mr. Cai for three days in a row, even though he was injured and sick, is not in line with Zi Kun's usual style."

"So, what Wen He means is..." Liu Bei asked expectantly.

Suddenly, even Zhao Yun, who was usually the most steady, couldn't help but quietly pricked up his ears.
