Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Liu Shijun? !

Gu Yong's mind subconsciously thought it was Liu Bei, but he suddenly connected with the second half.

Split the land in the middle of Shu, occupy the kingdom of Tianfu, and become a prince...

This obviously refers to Yizhou, not Wu.

Shi Jun is often an honorific title given to the governor and state shepherd. However, if the general governor does not have the actual power of a state, he will not be honored as Shi Jun.

A county governor like Liu Bei also serves as a governor, but most people still only respect Liu Bei as the prince who represents the county guard, rather than the envoy.

Today, the only person who can be called an envoy in Yizhou is Liu Yan, the state pastor.

But what does Li Zikun mean?

Why did you write a letter to Liu Yan about the king's affairs? Do you want to betray your lord and surrender to Shu?

Then why should I ghostwrite it?

Gu Yong's heart was in chaos for a moment. He felt that the pen in his hand was extremely heavy and he could not move it at all.

"Yuantan, you are so dumbfounded, write quickly."

It wasn't until Li Ji reminded him that Gu Yong suddenly came back to his senses. He raised his head and glanced at Li Ji. He understood that as a note-taker, he had no room for rejection, so he pretended to be slow and started writing.

And looking at Gu Yong's calligraphy like dragons and phoenixes dancing up and down on the bamboo slips, which was so artistic, Li Ji just realized that Gu Yong's calligraphy level was far above his own.

Immediately, after Li Ji finished the soul inquiry in the first sentence, his tone changed and he said.

"I once heard that the ancestor of the envoy, Liu Yu, was granted the title of Huaiyang after Emperor Jing, and was transferred to the title of King of Lu. From father to son, Liu Guang was granted the title of King of Lu'an, and the son passed to the grandson, and the grandson passed to the son, until the envoy was almost gone. The shadow of the ancestors remains, and no prince can grant him the title.

Woohoo, Xi Shijun is of the bloodline of the Great Ancestor, after Emperor Jing..."

It has to be said that Liu Yan's background is more than a little bit better than Liu Bei's. He is of the bloodline of Gaozu, after Emperor Jing.

As for Liu Bei's ancestor King Jing of Zhongshan and Liu Yan's ancestor King Lu, they are both brothers, but just by looking at the fiefdoms and king titles of the two ancestors, you can see that the gap is not huge.

What's more, King Jing of Zhongshan was a self-propelled humanoid seeder. He had more than 120 descendants when he died at the age of fifty-three, and the shadow of his ancestors was withered.

By the time of Liu Bei's generation, they had been reduced to making a living by weaving mats and selling shoes, just like ordinary people.

On the contrary, Liu Yan had an extraordinary background and was a member of the Han clan recognized by the imperial court. His father had served as a county governor, and his mother was the aunt of Huang Wan, the current governor of Qingzhou. His relationship with the court was complicated.

More importantly, Liu Yan is ambitious!
Whether it was based on historical foresight or personal contact with Liu Yan, Li Ji knew that Liu Yan had ambitions.

Perhaps Liu Yan had no desire to conquer the world, but he had no respect for the court, the emperor, or the Han Dynasty.

He actively promoted the "state pastoral policy" and couldn't wait to go to Sichuan to serve as Yizhou pastoralist, which all revealed Liu Yan's heart.

Moreover, Liu Yan had been in charge of Yizhou for nearly half a year. After taking charge of Yizhou for the first time, and tasting the power of a state pastor that was comparable to the earth-breaking king, Liu Yan's ambitions would inevitably expand uncontrollably.

It should be noted that Yizhou is only one of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty!

However, the area, resources, population and military strength of one state in China are much stronger than those of the three Koreas in the southern part of the peninsula combined.

Therefore, Li Ji's letter was intended to further arouse Liu Yan's ambitions and truly let Liu Yan see the possibility of dominating Shu and tearing the earth apart to become king.

Li Ji did not elaborate on the specific strategy on how to become king in the land of abundance and how to avoid being forced to leave Yizhou by the imperial court or the emperor in a sudden move.

Instead, they borrowed grain from Yizhou to provide disaster relief and save the people. As for the quantity...

【The more the better】

[Longxi Li Ji, Li Zikun pays homage. 】

As Li Ji finished reading this sentence, Gu Yong, who was ghostwriting for Li Ji, was almost numb. He felt that his back was probably wet, and there was a hint of fear deep in his eyes when he looked at Li Ji. .

'Li Zikun, do you really have a big man in your heart? '

'To actually instigate the state's most important ministers to rebel against the imperial court, break the soil and seal the king...'

Even though Li Ji's goal seemed to be to use this strategy to obtain a large amount of money and food from Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Gu Yong still felt terrible in his heart, a terrible feeling that made it difficult to breathe.

Disaster to the people, maybe not.

But Li Ji's move was definitely harmful to the country, and even meant to push the corrupt Han Dynasty to the abyss of disintegration.

Li Zikun, this is to sell the big man at a good price, and then become the material for the development of Wu.

As Gu Yong finished writing, Li Ji leaned over and picked up the bamboo slips in front of Gu Yong, browsed them carefully, and praised them.

"Yuantan, you are worthy of me recommending you to the lord as a chronicler. Your calligraphy skills alone are amazing."

After a pause, Li Ji looked at Gu Yong who seemed to be in a daze, and then asked slowly.

"Yuantan, if you have any thoughts or doubts after writing this, just ask."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yong was suddenly shocked and felt a sense of crisis. Although Gu Yongshen didn't know the real purpose of why Li Ji asked him to ghostwrite, this secret was obviously not something that ordinary people should know.

Knowing too much can lead to death easily.

And with Li Ji's status in Wu County, even if Li Ji ordered Gu Yong to beheaded, Liu Bei would not question anything, and the Gu family would not dare to fall out with Li Ji over this.

Just pretending to be stupid and ignorant, that is too fake, and it is too deceiving to recognize Li Ji as a human being.

But Gu Yong is unwilling and does not dare to get involved in this kind of thing of tearing apart the earth and conferring a king. If he is not careful, not only himself, but also the entire Gu family will be turned into powder.

For a moment, Gu Yong felt that his brain was running at an unprecedented speed, and his expression naturally revealed a naive smile and said.

"As expected of Li Juncheng, if we can use this trick to defraud Yizhou Mu out of a large amount of money and food, countless people will be able to live."

"cheat?"

Li Ji raised his eyebrows. It was difficult for Gu Yong to find such a perfect excuse for himself in such a short period of time.

Yuan Tan is really a master at pretending to be confused!
Whatever...

Li Ji smiled and left the main meeting hall with the roll of bamboo slips without admitting or denying.

It wasn't until Li Ji completely disappeared from sight that Gu Yongfang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Then he felt a lot of worries and couldn't help but think about a problem that he had never noticed before.

Wu Jun...where to go?
Li Ji, on the other hand, took the scroll of bamboo slips to find Zhao Yun, handed the bamboo slips into Zhao Yun's hands, and then spoke.

"Zilong, you will immediately lead three or five cavalry to the middle of Shu with light equipment, and you must personally hand over this bamboo slip to the hands of Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou."

"Yes, Mr. Zikun."

Zhao Yun carefully held the bamboo slips and replied.

Li Ji reminded him in a deep voice. "Remember, the bamboo slips must not be lost. If the person is alive and the bamboo slips are there, the person will die...the bamboo slips must not be leaked."

Although Li Ji has great faith in Zhao Yun's bravery and character, this bamboo slip is of great importance and cannot be lost. It is not only related to the disaster relief for many refugees, but also involves the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Wu County and Wu County. development issues.

Moreover, once the contents of the bamboo slips are leaked, Wu County will immediately be placed in an absolutely disadvantageous situation, and both Liu Bei and Li Ji will be suspected of being disloyal.

Even if Li Ji specifically asked Gu Yong to write for him in order to reduce his handle, for the emperor and the court, suspicion was often enough.

When Zhao Yun heard this, his expression became more solemn, he clasped his fists hard and raised his hands, and then ordered five personal guards.

Except for the single rider of the Yezhao Jade Lion under Zhao Yun, the other five personal guards all started heading towards Shuzhong with one person and two horses.

As long as Zhao Yun can deliver this bamboo slip to Liu Yan, Liu Yan will definitely lend it out with a large amount of money and grain in exchange for Li Ji's strategy that can help him crack the earth and become king.

And Li Ji did not specify how much food he would need to borrow, but it was the most expensive.

How ambitious Liu Yan was, and how urgent he was to break the earth and make him king, the amount of money and food he would lend would be the same.

As for the question of "return"...

ridiculous!

Not to mention just money and food, our lord Liu Bei even borrowed it from Nuo Da and didn't even bring it back to Jingzhou, let alone this little thing.

Why should you return something you borrowed based on your strength?
Even if Liu Yan threatens Li Ji with the bamboo slip in the future, and even wants to ruin Li Ji's reputation, it is a letter written by Gu Yuantan, what does it have to do with me, Li Zikun?
If you don’t believe me, just compare the handwriting.

……

at the same time.

When Zhao Yun set out for Shuzhong, Liu Bei also arrived in Xuzhou, and only then did he feel that the number of refugees was still greater than he imagined.

Along the way, Liu Bei deliberately walked along the road opened for the refugees for a while, and found that refugees fleeing southward were coming in an almost continuous stream.

And even though Wujun Ferry has mobilized all boats to transport refugees day and night, the number of refugees crowded on the north bank of the Yangtze River is still increasing.

Unlike Wu Junzheng, who was trying its best to ensure the most basic food and clothing for the refugees, Xuzhou Guangling County did not have any porridge distribution places. Only the Mi family followed Liu Bei's orders and distributed a little bit of food at designated points along the passage.

Therefore, in order to resist hunger, there is almost no grass growing in the place where the refugees pass. In the true sense, there is no grass growing.

Grass roots, bark, leaves, insects...

Everything that could possibly be eaten was eaten clean by the refugees.

This made Liu Bei secretly feel distressed and weep along the way, so he could only speed up and visit the governors of various counties in Xuzhou to borrow food to save the people.

The first stop Liu Bei chose in Xuzhou was Langya County, which Li Ji repeatedly reminded and designated.

Because in matters like "borrowing food", setting an example is extremely important. One person must first take the initiative to borrow a large amount of food, and the other county guards may be inconvenient to refuse due to face reasons.

Among the counties in Xuzhou today, Langya Kingdom is now the fiefdom of Liu Rong, King of Langya. Liu Rong has the most benevolent character, has many good deeds for the people, is pure and filial, has a good reputation among the people, and does not seek pleasure.

As his uncle, Liu Bei went to Langya Kingdom to borrow grain from Langya King Liu Rong, and since they were both members of the Han clan, Liu Rong naturally would not refuse to borrow. (End of chapter)
