Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Protect our people, fight against foreigners, and ensure the long-term peace and stability of Wu County...

With this series of buffs stacked up, even Mi Zhu and Jian Yong, who originally had objections, felt their blood boiling, and all the generals became excited.

And even if this slogan is passed to the soldiers at the bottom, it will definitely greatly improve the morale of the soldiers.

Immediately, when Liu Bei took out the bamboo slips Li Ji had made all night and began to mobilize the three armies according to the calculations on it, Jian Yong and Mi Zhu came to their senses with some hindsight.

Dare to ask Zikun to prepare all the details of the troop deployment, and even the specific number of county troops to be dispatched from each county is clear.

If Li Ji hadn't been prepared in advance, Liu Bei wouldn't have known all this, no matter how diligent he was as a county guard.

What's more, none of the officials in Wu County know that Liu Bei is the most typical hands-off shopkeeper. Almost all the affairs of Wu County are handled by the county magistrate Li Ji. Even the county governor's seal is placed on the body of the county magistrate. .

However, this actually made everyone present feel at ease. At least it was enough to show that Liu Bei did not use his troops in a hurry, but after some calculations by Li Ji.

In terms of logistics and food, Li Ji's calculations will definitely ensure it.

As Liu Bei made arrangements one by one based on the bamboo slips calculated by Li Ji in advance, the entire government office and officials of all sizes also became busy.

The three armies have not moved yet, food and grass go first!
Especially when the number of troops exceeds 10,000, the daily consumption and transportation of grain and grass require a lot of advance preparation and arrangement.

After all, when the troops reach a certain size, carrying too much food and grass will inevitably seriously slow down the marching speed.

But once the food and grass are insufficient and the soldiers starve, no matter how elite they are, they will collapse on the spot.

In addition, it also takes time to dispatch county soldiers to the counties around Wu County.

For a time, the messengers delivering the orders left in different directions at the same time, which made some scholars who were going in and out of Wu County notice something different.

Messengers delivering orders frequently left the autonomous station to travel to various places, either because something big had happened or it was a prelude to the deployment of troops.

Perhaps ordinary people who are busy with their daily lives have not noticed anything, but some scholars with a sensitive sense of smell have already sensed a hint of the coming storm, and they couldn't help but speculate and discuss it secretly.

At this moment, a young man with an immature face and a bit of arrogance and romance arrived at the market near Rende Academy.

The young man got out of the carriage, stood on the shaft of the carriage and looked at the distribution of the market in front of him and the direction of Rende Academy. Then he uncorked the gourd at his waist, took a sip of wine, and spoke with satisfaction.

"I wonder if there is good wine in Wu..."

"Young master, you can go to the market in front and ask for good wine. Not only are there many noble people who are proficient in learning, but there are also all kinds of food and wine. It is said that this is a place called 'Wallless Market' established by Lord Jun Cheng. The purpose of the city's market is to entertain nobles from all over the world."

The driver driving the carriage spoke to the young man with some accent.

"Ha! A city without walls? Li Zikun is so loud. Could it be that he claims that no one can threaten the safety of this place after it is completed, so he doesn't plan to build a city wall?"

The young man shook his head and said something, with such contempt in his tone that even the groom could clearly distinguish it.

This made the groom's expression change slightly, and he said with a bit of dissatisfaction. "Master, please don't be disrespectful to the Lord Commander."

The young man was somewhat surprised by the groom's reaction.

Being able to gain spontaneous protection and support from the common people was a rarity for Han officials, which made the young man look slightly serious.

"It seems that Li Zikun is still capable. At least he can win the support of the people under his rule, which means he is not derelict in his duties as a county magistrate. He is much better than that group of people who just eat nothing."

Let's just say, the young man jumped directly from the shaft of the carriage, then took out his money bag and rewarded the groom with some extra money.

This made the groom's originally tense expression immediately turn into a smile, and he said. "Thank you, Master. If you don't have a place to stay in the market, I can help you arrange it."

"That's no need."

The young man waved his hand and shrugged it off casually.

When the groom saw this, he didn't force it, but secretly regretted that this would result in less kickbacks.

However, the government has express regulations in this regard not to force sales, otherwise it will directly deprive the coachman of his job, so the groom did not dare to say anything more and had to remind him.

"Young Master Yanwei, are you here for the 'Four Crosses of Red Water' sand table? If you want to see the sand table, just enter the market and head towards the main entrance of Rende Academy."

"what!"

The young man took the gourd again and took a sip, then spoke with a somewhat wild attitude.

"I came here this time not just for the sand table, but for only one purpose: to overwhelm Li Zikun!"

Seeing this, the groom didn't say anything disappointing because of the extra money the young man had just given him. Instead, he grinned broadly and gave the young man a thumbs up.

There are many grooms like this kind of people.

On the way from the ferry to Rende Academy, there are always people with this kind of arrogant tone.

However, on the way back to the ferry from Rende Academy, the scholars in the car almost stopped saying such things.

Immediately, under the gaze of the young man, the coachman did not drive the carriage back directly along the road, but headed in a certain direction of the market, and he could vaguely see a large number of carriages parked neatly in that direction. "interesting!"

The young man took another sip of wine and said.

On the way from the ferry to Rende Academy, the young man also communicated with the groom for a while and learned that a few months ago, the groom was a real farmer.

Then, the Wujun government office seemed to have issued some kind of announcement to recruit grooms.

The horseman who had just given him a ride happened to go into the city to sell some of the fish he had caught. Hearing the yamen read out the contents of the announcement, and hearing that he was given enough rations for a family of six as a reward every month, the horseman was immediately moved.

Anyway, there were three sons taking care of the family fields. I was worried that there was no work, so I tried to sign up, and then passed the government assessment and training and successfully became a groom.

There are quite a few horsemen like this at the ferry in the north of Wu County and around Rende Academy, and they mainly carry scholars who cross the Yangtze River.

After all, people can easily cross the river, but it is impossible for the scholars' carriages to cross the river.

Therefore, except for some poor scholars who were short of money, most of them did not hesitate to spend money and chose to take this kind of carriage to Rende Academy after arriving at the ferry.

Moreover, the young man also carefully observed the horses used in this kind of carriage. Almost all of them were horses that were eliminated on the battlefield and were not suitable to continue to be used as war horses.

"If this is the political policy implemented by Li Zikun, seeing the big from the small, it also proves that Li Zikun's political career is by no means a waste of fame."

The young man said with some appreciation, then turned around and walked slowly towards the market.

However, the young man did not rush to the sand table of "Four Crosses of Red Water". Instead, he wandered around and then went into the wine shop to fill his gourd with wine.

However, just as the young man was about to leave, his attention was attracted by the conversations of several people in the wine shop.

"There have been frequent messengers coming in and out of Wu County in the past two days. Maybe something big happened?"

"What big thing can happen? I think your worries are unfounded. The bandits in Wu County have been wiped out by Mr. Liu Fu. Not to mention that Wu County can't pick up anything on the road. At least it's better than the mess in the Central Plains." many."

"That's true. The Central Plains is in too much chaos now. As you go south, you can see corpses lying on both sides of the official road without any burial place."

"If Mr. Liu hadn't taken in the refugees so much, I'm afraid that many more people would have died in the Central Plains disaster..."

The young man did not listen to the rest of the content.

Instead, he subconsciously touched his beardless chin and fell into thought.

The frequent exchanges of messengers are a sign of the gathering of troops.

'south! Could it be that some mountains have crossed the border? '

The young man thought for a moment and guessed the most likely possibility.

'And if messengers were sent out the day before yesterday, then...'

Thinking of this, the young man hung the gourd on his waist and did not go to Rende Academy. Instead, he went straight to the market stall and happened to see the groom feeding the horses.

"What a coincidence..."

The boy grinned and then asked. "I wonder if I want to go to Wu County?"

"Sir, the distance to Wu County is only a few miles, so it's not cost-effective to take a car." The groom reminded him when he saw this.

"No problem!" The young man responded disapprovingly.

"Then please go over there and buy a sign for Wu County. I can leave immediately."

"Row!"

The young man was quite familiar with this brand of wood purchase, and understood that this brand was a certificate that needed to be left to the groom, and would be used when the government settled the salary with the groom.

But when the boy bought the sign and entered the carriage, he said something. "Please also go to the south gate of Wu County and stop."

The groom was a little confused, but he didn't resist such a small request.

After all, the groom knew very well that the young master was willing to tip, and these tips were extra income that the groom could keep for himself.

"Master, please sit down."

Immediately, the coachman reminded him and drove the carriage away from the carriage house again towards Wuxian County.

However, since what the boy requested was to stop at the south gate of Wu County, the groom had to take a detour, but the smoothness of the roads near Wu County was far from comparable to other places.

Therefore, when the groom deliberately increased his speed, he quickly arrived at the south gate of Wu County.
