Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Listening to Jiang Zhi's words of praise for Li Ji, Gan Ning became quite curious and asked Jiang Zhi a soul question.

"Is Mr. Zikun famous?"

???

Jiang value.

This question can be regarded as confusing Jiang Zhi.

Gan Ning saw this and asked again. "We are both county magistrates, how do our abilities compare to your uncle's?"

After all, in Gan Ning's eyes, although his uncle was a bit of a flatterer to others, Gan Ning actually recognized his uncle's abilities and respected him in his heart.

Otherwise, Gan Ning would not be dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's contempt for Jiang Zhi, but his extremely low profile towards Li Ji.

However, facing Gan Ning's questioning, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but said with a bit of laughter.

"How can there be any comparison? Even though we are both county magistrates, if Mr. Zikun is like the bright moon in the night sky, then I am just a tiny firefly in the field."

"Uncle, he exaggerated." Gan Ning didn't believe it.

"Xingba, you really need to pay more attention to outside information, instead of being trapped in a small place like Bajun."

Jiang Zhi shook his head helplessly and said.

"Li Zikun had only been out of the mountain for about a year, and he started out together with Liu Xuande, who was just weaving mats and selling shoes. At the beginning of the army, he had only two thousand soldiers and less than ten days of food, but he was better than dozens. twice as powerful as the enemy..."

"He also fought thousands of miles south from the land of Youyan. He fought and won consecutive battles. He crossed the hinterland of millions of Yellow Turbans like a leisurely stroll. He echoed Bei Zhonglang's general Lu Gong from east to west, and intercepted and killed the Taiping Demon Road Zhang Jiao in Boluo in one fell swoop. Jin, finally forced the demon Dao Zhang Jiao to burn himself to death, establishing the victory of quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion in one fell swoop."

"After that, Mr. Zikun played five battles and five victories on a sand table in Julu, which impressed Mr. Lu and sighed: There may be no one in the world who can match him. Later, Mr. Zikun followed Liu Xuande all the way south to govern Wu County. In just a short time Over the past six months, I have occasionally heard that Wu County has undergone earth-shaking changes."

The more Jiang Zhi talked, the more excited he became, and the praise he expressed for Li Ji in his words made Gan Ning feel incredible.

Even as Jiang Zhi spoke, he took out a piece of cloth from his arms and said.

"It is said that Mr. Zikun received guidance from the gods and realized the Tao in a dream. He was named the 'Sidu Red Water' sand table, which can be used to measure the level of military skills of the world's scholars. It was not easy for me to get five from a merchant some time ago. A sketch of the layout of the 'Sidu Red Water' sand table purchased for ten gold."

As Jiang Zhi spoke, he carefully opened the piece of cloth and pointed at the terrain changes and troop arrangements of both sides that were only roughly depicted with lines.

"It is said that so far no one has been able to break through the third standard measured by Mr. Zikun. If I can reach the third standard of 'Four Crosses of Red Water' in this life and become Mr. Zikun's guest, this life will be enough..."

Suddenly, Jiang Zhi realized something and spoke sharply to Gan Ning. "Xingba, you must never mention to your aunt that I bought this picture for fifty gold."

Gan Ning, who had no chance to interrupt during the whole process, could only nod his head.

Jiang Zhi glanced at the lines on the cloth obsessively for a few times, and then he re-wrapped the cloth and put it in his arms as if it were a treasure.

At this point, Gan Ning finally realized that Li Ji was a little more famous than he thought. Even his uncles respected Li Ji highly.

"So, Mr. Zikun is really a genius in the world!"

Gan Ning still murmured in disbelief.

Jiang Zhi took out a breath slowly and then spoke.

"Xing Ba, you are not a scholar, so it is not surprising that you don't know Mr. Zikun's name. You are not from a poor family, and you don't understand that the path Mr. Zikun has traveled has been admired by countless poor families."

This era is, in a sense, the era of aristocratic families.

Money and food can buy an official position!
But in this era, money and food were undoubtedly concentrated in the hands of wealthy families and merchants.

Even if a businessman buys a high-ranking official position, how can he secure that position without a matching background?

As for the poor family, they have no money, food and family assets to exchange for an official position, and no connections and background to support them.

Therefore, the way out for a humble family is... extremely difficult!
Studying is difficult, career is even harder, and realizing your ambitions is even more difficult.

Only Li Ji could take advantage of the situation and make it known to the world!
He has really accomplished everything that countless poor scholars never dared to imagine. When Jiang Zhi heard about the establishment of the "Rende Academy", he couldn't help but burst into tears for himself who had gone through so many hardships in the past to find a book.

Therefore, Li Ji had a great reputation among the scholars, and his prestige was as high as the sky in the hearts of the poor scholars.

Perhaps Gan Ning thought that Jiang Zhi was kneeling down to lick Liu Zhang in order to get promoted. Just now, it was clear that as the governor of Bajun, he was accompanying Liu Zhang all the way. In fact, Jiang Zhi went down with the ship, and it was more because he heard that Liu Zhang was on this trip. I went to visit Li Ji and came to see Li Ji, whom I admired in my heart.

And hearing Jiang Zhi's words of high praise for Li Ji, Gan Ning suddenly spoke. "Uncle, why don't you go to sea with me?"

"Ok?"

Jiang Zhi looked at Gan Ning in surprise, wondering what he meant.

"What are uncle's original plans for the future?" Gan Ning asked.

Jiang Zhi pondered for a moment and replied. "When the Gan family moves to Wu County, I will either take care of the Gan family's property for you, or try to find a way to become a small official, or go to the 'Ren De Academy' to satisfy my longing."

Gan Ning's eyes flashed with wisdom and he spoke.

"Then uncle, why don't you go to sea with me? I heard Mr. Zikun's intention, and he secretly made me a thief. He must have far-reaching plans. Why worry about not having the opportunity to make contributions in the future?"

Everyone thinks that Gan Ning is just a reckless man and a water thief. In fact, Gan Ning admits that he is not reckless at all. He just likes to act according to his own temper sometimes, but he has always been extremely decisive and keen in grasping the situation and timing.

When he attacked and killed Liu Zhang, Gan Ning judged that the worst thing was to kill Liu Zhang, and then used the message to summon three hundred brocade sail thieves to take advantage of the chaos to hijack the fleet. With food, soldiers and ships, he could do a lot in crossing the Yangtze River.

Moreover, most of the ships in Yizhou are in the hands of Gan Ning. He is arrogantly returning to Bajun to pick up his relatives. Who can stop him? From then on, he becomes the hegemon of the Yangtze River. It is no better than living in Bajun and being a small aristocratic family. ?

But the appearance of Zhao Yun undoubtedly broke Gan Ning's imagination.

After that, Gan Ning did not act rashly, nor did he fight to the death. Instead, he understood that the situation was unfavorable, and his only hope was placed on Li Ji, who had humbled Liu Zhang.

Moreover, Li Ji also deliberately helped Gan Ning smooth things over at the banquet, which made Gan Ning keenly aware of the kindness, and then firmly grasped the opportunity.

Now, Gan Ning calmed down and kept thinking about the situation. As Jiang Zhi kept praising Li Ji, Gan Ning suddenly realized that he might be allowed to go to sea to become a thief and spread his reputation. It was definitely not just to attack political opponents as usual. Or it could be as simple as plundering one party.

opportunity!

Maybe it’s an opportunity to make a big difference! !
Gan Ning touched his chin with one hand, feeling more and more that this might be an opportunity that should not be missed.

And as a son-in-law, Jiang Zhi, who came from a poor family and became a county magistrate. His previous status was nominally the same as Li Ji's, and he was not the kind of mediocre person.

After Gan Ning's reminder, Jiang Zhi also realized the key point.

"Mr. Zikun, do you have anything special to say?" Jiang Zhi asked.

"Mr. Zikun only gave me a bamboo slip and ordered me to act accordingly." Gan Ning responded, and then took out the bamboo slip from his sleeve. When he was about to open it, he was stopped by Jiang Zhi.

"Things are kept secret, how can it be opened in such a crowded place with so many eyes?"

Jiang Zhi gently gave Gan Ning a lesson, and then ordered Gan Ning to calm down all the Jinfan thieves under his command before dragging Gan Ning into his room.

This scene was all seen by Liu Yang.

However, Liu Yang didn't react at all. Apart from silently recording, he had no intention of stopping him.

'Professional things are left to professionals...'

'If you are ordered to supervise someone in the future, as long as it does not contradict the military order or harm the interests of the lord, no obstruction or excessive remarks will be allowed. '

'You guys keep in mind that you are Jinyi Division, not Xiaohuang Sect! '

These are all the teachings from the textbook written by Li Ji, and Liu Yang dare not forget them.

After Gan Ning and Jiang Zhi entered the room and opened the bamboo slip, they found that the bamboo slip was not a secret order, but a warrant, which allowed them to take away several ships from the shipyard.

However, there was a piece of cloth sandwiched between the bamboo slips. On the cloth was written an order for Gan Ning to quickly adapt to the sea within one month of going to sea, and to draw a detailed chart of the Wujun coast within one month.

Chart?

Gan Ning's eyes suddenly widened. As a typical representative of a person with intelligence but no brain, Gan Ning knew nothing about drawing nautical charts. On the contrary, Gan Ning knew all about the large and small water and river networks in Bajun. Know it in your heart.

Immediately, Gan Ning raised his head and looked at his uncle, who used to think of everything but force, and asked.

"Does uncle know how to draw sea charts?"

"I know a little bit."

Jiang Zhi smacked his mouth and said.

"In the past, when I was young, it was difficult to find a single volume of the classic classics. On the contrary, when I traveled around the world, I dabbled in a lot of miscellaneous studies, and I also knew a little bit about nautical charts."

"Uncle, so Mr. Zikun won't include you on the ship from the beginning, right?"

Gan Ning suddenly proposed this hypothesis, and for the first time he felt that Li Ji seemed a bit scary.

However, Jiang Zhi's eyes widened and he spoke excitedly. "Seriously? Mr. Zikun really noticed me?"

Immediately, without waiting for Gan Ning to answer, Jiang Zhi continued talking to himself and said.

"That's right! That's right! With Mr. Zikun's strategizing wisdom, I expect that he has already mastered everything. I am afraid that my involvement in drawing sea charts has been known to Mr. Zikun for a long time."

"In this way, I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Zikun and draw a nautical chart of the waters near Wujun as soon as possible." (End of Chapter)
