Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 139 The Name of Guo Tu
more?
Listening to Li Ji's humble words, Xia Houlan's expression could be described as complicated for a moment.

Only Xia Houlan, who had witnessed that scene with his own eyes, knew exactly how big those "dots" were.

And now that Li Ji named this sand table deduction "Four Crosses of Red Water", Xia Houlan recalled it briefly and suddenly discovered that it was Li Ji's route that completely solved the deadlock faced by the blue team in the sand table.

However, Xia Houlan, who once held the red side to stop Li Ji, also had no idea how Li Ji did it. He just felt that he was being led by Li Ji throughout the whole process.

And after Xia Houlan completely calmed down later, he found that the decisions he made on the red side were all in line with the art of war, and there were no major mistakes or omissions.

However, when Xia Houlan tried to use Li Ji's route to control the blue side, he felt defeated even faster.

“Those who learn from the master will live, and those who imitate the master will die!”

At this moment, Xia Houlan has completely understood this sentence in his heart, and understands that it may be a solution that only his husband can do. If he just copies it, it will be meaningless.

On the contrary, now my husband allows me to hold the red side in the sand table and play against the world's scholars. This is undoubtedly my husband's love and care, which allows me to continuously learn from others' military tactics.

However, this humble statement in the eyes of Xia Houlan was viewed by different scholars...

"Insanity!"

Guo Tu finally found this opportunity and shouted loudly.

In the case where Liu Bei and Cai Yong cannot be targeted, facing Li Ji to break through and attack "Rende Academy" is undoubtedly the best choice, not to mention how much prestige can be gained once Li Ji is defeated in full view of the public. ?

Suddenly, he faced the looks of many scholars around him.

Guo Tu was not timid at all. He stretched out his hand to slightly adjust the scholar's uniform behind him, and then walked towards Li Ji who was on the high platform below the gate tower. The crowd also subconsciously gave way to a path.

In response, Li Ji watched Guo Tu walk all the way to him with a smile, and then asked.

"I didn't ask for advice."

"Guo Tu, a famous scholar in Yingchuan, whose courtesy name is Gongze."

Guo Tu responded loudly.

As for Guo Tu's careful attempt to secretly promote his reputation, Li Ji had no intention of suppressing him. Instead, with a glance, the county soldiers maintaining order on both sides of the crowd also repeated his name.

"Guo Tu, a famous scholar in Yingchuan, whose courtesy name is Gongze."

For a time, Guo Tu's name spread throughout the country.

This made Guo Tu's arrogant and indifferent expression that he had deliberately maintained become a little unbearable. In his heart, he grinned so much that his white teeth almost appeared.

Guo Tu?

Li Ji also instantly remembered his origin.

Yingchuan is full of talents and has produced many resourceful and decisive people.

Guo Tu is clearly one of them. Regardless of his character and character, his ability to become a "celebrity" in a place like Yingchuan, where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden, is definitely not small, otherwise he would not be valued by Yuan Shao, who was born in the fourth generation and the third prince in the future.

"It turns out it's Guo Gongze. I wonder why I'm asking for advice?" Li Ji asked again.

"I tell you: arrogant!"

Guo Tu is not the kind of person who hesitates to move forward, who wants to gain fame but is also afraid of cherishing his body.

Now that he is standing on the high platform, Guo Tu also shows the magnanimity that a famous person in Yingchuan should have, scolding Fang Qiu, as if at this moment Guo Tu is no longer a person, but represents countless disgust, Xiao Heizi, who denounced Li Ji, said loudly.

"Regardless of whether this sand table deduction was taught by a god or not, how arrogant is it that you, Li Zikun, want to use this to judge the military level of the people in the world?"

After a pause, Guo Tu looked at Li Ji's still smiling and indifferent posture, knowing that this kind of talk alone meant little.

At least, Li Ji used sand table deduction to defeat Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, Cao Cao, and Xu You in a row, and was talked about by the world.

Although there are as many black men as Li Ji thinks are the best in sand table deduction, there is little significance in attacking Li Ji in this regard before Li Ji is defeated and collapses.

Immediately, Guo Tu asked in a deep voice. "Do you think you can lead the Blue Army to evacuate more than 10,000 soldiers? Do you think you are a top talent comparable to the Champion Marquis and the Huaiyin Marquis?"

Naturally, Li Ji would not fall for this little language trap.

Rumors in the market are just rumors in the market, but Li Ji will naturally not really admit such a thing.

"Mr. Gongze is joking. I am a late learner and am only confident in sand table deductions. How can I dare to compare myself to the champion and Huaiyin?"

After a pause, Li Ji continued.

"But if Mr. Gongze also knows something about sand table deduction, there is no harm in giving it a try. I would like to ask Mr. Gongze to be my guest and teach me the art of military strategy."

Guo Tu heard this and asked.

"Sure enough, a kid with a yellow mouth doesn't know the heights of the sky. Even if there is an ambush formation from all directions, there are still many ways to completely break it. No matter how dangerous and sophisticated your sandbox is, there will always be people who can break it."

"At that time, even if a trafficker or a servant or a maid breaks the sand table according to his method, will you, Li Zikun, all be treated as honored guests?"

Li Ji still had that elegant posture that made Guo Tu feel a little irritated, and said.

"Everything in the world can be a teacher. Traffickers, slaves and maids may not have strengths that I can ask for advice from. If there are traffickers, slaves and maidservants who can crack the 'Four Crosses of Red Water' in the future, I will treat them as honored guests and respectfully ask for advice." "Okay, then it seems that I, Mr. Guo, will be an honored guest of the Li Mansion today."

When Guo Tu saw this, he laughed loudly, then walked to the side of the high platform with his sleeves rolled up, and looked at the sand table terrain, troop layout and various details attentively.

However, maybe Li Ji didn't care about Guo Tu's rude and arrogant attitude, but Liu Bei, who always had a gentle smile on his face, clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves unconsciously.

Then, Liu Bei took two steps back, hid in the crowd that was blocking his view, and glanced at Xiahou Bo.

Seeing this, Xiahou Bo quickly came to Liu Bei's side and listened.

"Ji Chang, that Mr. Guo is really rude..."

"understand!"

Xiahou Bo had also long been dissatisfied with the fact that Guo Tu always seemed to be aloof and distinguished, even when he was walking, he always used the corners of his eyes to sneer at others, so he replied.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will send a message to Mr. Wenhe right now, and I will sink Guo Tu when he crosses the river."

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but look at Xiahou Bo one more time.

During this period, Xiahou Bo, who was the commander of the Jinyi Division, was often lent to Li Ji to help build the framework of the Jinyi Division in Wu County. Why did it seem that Xiahou Bo's behavior was more ruthless than before.

It's just that even though Liu Bei had to admit that he felt that giving Guo Tu to Shen Jiang would be the best way to relieve his anger, but considering the many influences and the fact that Guo Tu was still guilty of this, he added.

"That's not necessary. Aren't Ji Chang's men in charge of the Jinyi Division now? Just arrange for someone to teach Guo Gongze a lesson so that he can be more careful in what he says in the future."

"clear."

Xiahou Bo nodded, squinting his eyes and retreating, staring in Guo Tu's direction.

At this moment, Guo Tu had no idea, and Li Ji had no idea at all. He had no idea that his die-hard fan Lord was already preparing to secretly teach Guo Tu a lesson.

On the contrary, when Guo Tu really watched the sand table of "Four Crosses of Red Water", cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, but he could only pretend to be calm.

The more wise a person is, the more he understands how desperate the situation in the sandbox of "Four Crosses of Red Water" has become.

The complex terrain of mountains, forests and rivers is like a spreading spider web, and the blue side's more than 30,000 troops are like small butterflies trapped in it. More than 400,000 troops deployed from all directions surround it.

It’s hard to fly without wings!

It’s really hard to fly without wings!
Guo Tu came up with more than ten plans in succession, but all of them were rejected by Guo Tu in an instant.

In the three crucial aspects of troops, equipment, and logistics, the blue side is at an absolute disadvantage.

There are only two advantages for the blue team mentioned in the details:
First, the blue team’s morale is always high and they will fight to the end;

Secondly, the blue side has a detailed operation within the red side's top management, and regularly delivers certain information about the red side's troop deployment.

But even so, it is simply delusional for the blue side to lead more than 30,000 troops to escape. Even 10,000 troops are impossible. Only a small number of troops can take advantage of the chaos to escape.

But, what's the point?
I am not planning to join the inner sect of the "Ren De Academy". Even if the more than 30,000 people I lead can escape a few thousand, it is just a joke.

That's not a retreat at all, it's just a fish that slipped through the net after the defeat.

When Guo Tu subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, Li Ji's voice suddenly sounded next to him, almost frightening Guo Tu and taking a step back.

"Mr. Gongze, I have thoroughly understood the details above, can we start?"

"cough~"

Guo Tu coughed several times, but before Guo Tu could speak, Li Ji seemed to have read through Guo Tu's thoughts and said.

"Mr. Gongze doesn't want to feign illness and resign, does he?"

Almost as soon as Li Ji's voice fell, the large number of county soldiers who kept repeating the conversation on the high platform repeated this sentence loudly.

Suddenly, "Mr. Gongze, don't you want to feign illness and resign?" This sentence spread for three miles, forcing Guo Tu, who felt countless looks of suspicion and contempt, to a dead end, completely blocking Guo Tu. Any excuse to run away.

In the end, Guo Tu chose the latter between dying on the spot and risking his life to gamble on an unknown miracle.

Guo Tu rolled his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, looking as if he was going to die calmly.

"Come on, Li Zikun."

"No, it is Xia Houlan who is holding the red square and conducting the sand table deduction with Mr. Gongze."

As Li Ji spoke, he pointed towards Xia Houlan.

Xia Houlan also greeted everyone's attention, bowed and said loudly.

"Xiahou Mingzheng of Changshan."

However, when Guo Tu looked at Xia Houlan's childish face, he was secretly happy that he was not engaging in a sandbox deduction with Li Ji. His chances of winning were greatly increased, but he subconsciously said something harsh.

"Even if I win by deducing with such a yellow-tongued kid, I won't win with force."
