Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

When Liu Zhang heard this, he was shocked and asked.

"How far is it from Dantu?"

Zhao Yun replied neither humble nor arrogantly. "Follow the river and you'll reach Dantu around Youshi."

Liu Zhang looked up at the sky, judged the time, and found that it was less than two hours before Youshi.

Liu Zhang spoke anxiously.

"Hey, it's very urgent now. I need to take a shower and change clothes quickly."

Seeing this, Gan Ning couldn't help but cup his hands.

"Sir, you are the son of Yizhou Mu, and what you represent is the face of Yizhou. What you are going to see is just a county guard. If you do this, you are flattering the other party, but you are also losing Yizhou's face."

This statement was somewhat polite on the surface, but in fact, it clearly meant some dissatisfaction.

Li Ji is the county magistrate, and my uncle Jiang Zhi is also the county magistrate;
Jiang Zhi humbled himself in front of Liu Zhang and promoted Gan Ning just to gain some respect from Liu Zhang. This made Gan Ning feel that this dignified man had fallen ambition.

Now, Liu Zhang, who was being treated with great care by the Magistrate of Bajun, was actually preparing to bathe and change clothes ceremoniously in order to meet the Magistrate of Wujun, as if he wanted to please him. How could this not arouse Gan Ning's dissatisfaction?

Invisibly, this undoubtedly further devalued Jiang's value, and even made Gan Ning feel that he had been devalued several levels more.

However, Gan Ning's words made Zhao Yun's eyes narrow.

Zhao Yun looks humble on the outside, but in fact his arrogance and courage are unparalleled in the world.

As someone who was often arranged by Liu Bei to serve as a bodyguard around Li Ji, Zhao Yun was very aware of Li Ji's usual behavior.

Regardless of Li Ji's ability, he was a rare political genius in the world, and more importantly, what Li Ji did for the people made Zhao Yun admire him endlessly.

As a county magistrate, in order to govern a country and for the sake of the people, Li Ji did not choose to stay in the government office. Instead, he went to various places to inspect, slept in the open and often communicated with the people of Wu County on an equal footing, regardless of his status.

In Zhao Yun's eyes, this can be called a virtuous person!

How can such a virtuous prime minister allow this person to despise him so much?

Zhao Yun was sullen in his heart, his expression gradually became colder, and he reminded.

"Your Majesty, please don't speak nonsense."

"you……"

Hearing this, Gan Ning instinctively turned to look at Zhao Yun. Just when he was about to say something, his voice suddenly got stuck in his throat, and he faintly smelled something dangerous from Zhao Yun's body.

Originally, Gan Ning could not smell this smell.

Until two years ago, Gan Ning led the "Jin Sail Thieves" who wanted to do something big. When they were going down the river from Bajun to Changsha, Jing, they met an ordinary-looking middle-aged fisherman.

Gan Ning, who acted in a high-profile manner, insisted that every dog ​​passing by should be slapped and every fish he caught should be spit into his mouth, so that everyone up and down the river would know Gan Xingba's reputation.

Then, Gan Ning naturally got involved...

Then, Gan Ning was killed...

The middle-aged fishing guy used a fishing rod to beat Gan Ning until he screamed and lost his temper. Even the hundreds of "Jinfan thieves" under him saw this and wanted to come forward to help, but they were still easily ignored by the middle-aged fishing guy. After handing over the steel knife, he took the back of the knife and knocked it all to the ground.

Fortunately, Gan Ning was arrogant and high-profile, but he had no intention of hurting or killing anyone, so the middle-aged fisherman just taught them a lesson and let them go.

Gan Ning, who was beaten up, still didn't know the middle-aged fisherman's name, but he remembered the middle-aged fisherman's eyes and aura.

There is some similarity with Zhao Yun's eyes and momentum at this moment!

The shadow that had lapsed for two years once again loomed over him, causing Gan Ning to subconsciously choose to close his life.

But the words he spoke were like water being poured out. Gan Ning's words also aroused some dissatisfaction from Liu Zhang, saying. "Gan Xingba, do you want to teach me how to do things? Since you are a guard, you can just be a good guard."

Gan Ning felt angry, but he could only endure it and said with a cupped hand.

"Yes, son."

Immediately, Liu Zhang flicked his sleeves and hurried into the cabin, quickly bathing and changing clothes so that he could leave a good impression when he met Li Ji.

It was already dusk when the fleet, carrying a full 300,000 shi of grain and escorted by a full 5,000 county soldiers, arrived at the ferry near Dantu County.

Liu Zhang, who had gone through a shower and changed clothes, also looked very formal and solemn. He was dressed in luxurious clothes, with a jade waistband, and even his round face looked whiter and more tender.

In the eyes of Li Ji, who came to the ferry to greet him personally, he looked like a big fish plopped onto the shore.

"Ji Yu..."

Just when Li Ji was about to express his cordial greetings to Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang also spoke at the same time and hurried towards Li Ji.

"Mr. Zikun!! Goodbye today, it can be regarded as relieving the pain of missing you for nearly a year in my heart!"

"Ever since that day when he saw Mr. Zikun's grace in Zhuoxian County, Zhang was astonished by the appearance of a heavenly man. He thought about it day and night, hoping that Mr. Zikun would soon put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion and return to Zhuoxian County so that Zhang could You can observe the etiquette of a disciple in the presence of Mr. Zikun, and then you can listen to one or two teachings."

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Zikun followed Brother Xuande all the way to Wu County to govern. This made Zhang feel extremely regretful. For a long time, he even felt that eating was like chewing wax and difficult to swallow." "Now that I can meet Mr. Zikun again, I am really lucky that God has shown mercy to me..."

At this moment, looking at Liu Zhang's excitement and excitement, it didn't look like he was acting.

Not only was Li Ji slightly startled, but even Bajun County Cheng Jiangzhi, who disembarked from the boat behind Liu Zhang, was completely stunned. The thought "I met a master" subconsciously flashed across his mind.

But looking at Liu Zhang's enthusiastic and excited look, Li Ji was slightly put off.

When he was at the Zhuojun government office before, Li Ji didn't see any excitement in Liu Zhang, but he was a quiet, well-behaved little fat man.

'From a performance? '

'If this is really the case, then Liu Jiyu really cannot be underestimated...'

Thoughts flashed through Li Ji's mind, and he spoke like a gentle gentleman.

"Ji Yu had a long journey, but it was hard work. Now that Ji Yu has arrived in Wu County, he should also let Ji Xiao show his loyalty as a landlord. Please."

"Good good."

Liu Zhang looked happy to see his idol Le Hehe, and he did exactly what Li Ji arranged.

Immediately, Liu Zhang ordered Jiang Zhi to arrange the fleet affairs, and followed Li Ji into the carriage with only a dozen personal guards and headed towards Dantu County.

Liu Zhang, who was sitting in the same carriage with Li Ji along the way, still looked innocent and excited, talking endlessly about how he got from Zhuojun to Yizhou, and then talked about the customs of Yizhou. People's sentiments describe the differences between Sichuan and the Central Plains.

Throughout the whole process, Li Ji always kept a smile as an observer, only occasionally adding a few words.

Soon, Dantu County appeared in front of Liu Zhang.

Dantu is not a big city, and even in the entire Wu County, only the city in Wu County is relatively large.

As for Dantu County, the permanent population in the city is only 70,000 to 80,000, which is even among the top ten counties in Wu County.

One can imagine how vast and sparsely populated the original Wu County was.

Unlike Liu Zhang who looked at the unique scenery of Wudi with a bit of novelty, Li Ji looked at the slightly sparse flow of people in the city with a faint hope in his eyes.

After Wu County gradually digests the 600,000 refugees who continue to come to Wu County, the population density of Wu County will then double.

If fertility is vigorously encouraged, Wu County will soon be able to enter a good cycle.

Even if it wants to become the most populous county in the entire Han Dynasty, it won't take long.

When they arrived at the county government office in Dantu County, the Dantu County Magistrate had already led a group of petty officials to wait at the gate of the county government office for a long time, welcoming Li Ji and Liu Zhang in with great force.

Perhaps Li Ji himself didn't care much about the so-called pomp, but what he needed to entertain was Liu Zhang, the son of Yizhou Mu, so naturally he still needed to show enough grandness.

What's more, it's Liu Zhang who came with three hundred thousand shi of food?

In order to show that he valued Liu Zhang, Li Ji even deliberately placed Liu Zhang's seat next to himself at the banquet.

With both parties interested in harmonizing the atmosphere, the banquet soon became lively.

While Li Ji and Liu Zhang were enjoying and commenting on the singing and dancing performances at the banquet, he pointed at the exquisite dishes in front of him.

"Ji Yu, these dishes are all specialties of the land of Youyan. This is the chef I spent a lot of effort to find. This is to prevent Ji Yu from being used to it. Do you want to try it and see if it tastes authentic?"

When Liu Zhang heard this, he was not polite. He tasted all the dishes in front of him and said in surprise.

"The taste is indeed very similar to when I was in Zhuojun."

"That's good, that's good."

Li Ji said with a smile, then held a wine cup and toasted Liu Zhang with a full drink.

As for the specially found cook, that is naturally a joke.

The cook was definitely a cook brought from the Wujun government office, and the meals Liu Bei and Li Ji ate on weekdays were also made by this cook.

After all, the Wudi area can indeed be called a "food desert."

Li Ji wanted to entertain Liu Zhang with Wu's special delicacies, but he was afraid that Liu Zhang wouldn't be able to eat it, so he simply invited the cook from his own government office to make a guest appearance.

Anyway, Liu Zhang had spent a lot of time in Zhuojun before, so there was nothing wrong with making some special dishes from the land of Youyan. Instead, he had to embellish it and show his seriousness.

Liu Zhang also seemed to be quite moved. While eating the food from time to time, he and Li Ji talked about all the interesting things about their stay in Youyan.

However, Liu Zhang's rather weak and somewhat flattering demeanor made Gan Ning, who was accompanying him at the bottom, feel that his resentment was constantly building up.

The son of a dignified state shepherd, so blatantly trying to please a mere county magistrate.

If this matter spreads, wouldn't it make the world think that Yizhou is far inferior to Yangzhou? (End of chapter)
