Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

As soon as these words came out, Li Ji could hardly hold back.

There were very few things that Li Ji didn't know about that were recorded in Jinyi Division.

At that time, when Liu Bei secretly ordered Xiahou Bo to teach Guo Tu a lesson, Li Ji did not know anything about it, and Li Ji did not care about such a small provocation.

However, Li Ji naturally knew everything about the matter through the Jinyi Division's records afterwards.

It was precisely because of this that Li Ji suddenly felt that Liu Bei was quite yellow on the surface, but in fact he was somewhat dark in his heart. He must have been taught a little bad by Jia Xu.

Of course, this yellow refers to the orthodoxy and benevolence of the Han Dynasty.

Fortunately, Li Ji has gone through a period of political experience, and is quite good at managing his expressions, so he can't help but laugh out loud.

After listening to Liu Bei's inquiry, Guo Jia pondered for a moment, but with a playful smile on his face, he said.

"After my brother returned home from Wu County, he regarded it as a great shame and humiliation. He never mentioned the details and closed the door tightly without seeing guests for several months."

"Initially, I thought it was my clan brother who suffered a severe blow. Later, some rumors spread to Yingchuan, and I found out that my clan brother seemed to have been attacked by thieves in the city and had an accident."

"Ugh……"

Liu Bei sighed and said. "Bei is extremely sorry for the Gongzhi incident and has taken it as a lesson. He has since implemented stricter control over Wu County's public security to prevent such things from happening."

After a pause, Liu Bei continued.

"If possible, I would also like to ask you to send a message to Gongze in the hope that he will come to Wu County again, and prepare a small amount of wine to make amends for the thieves who broke into Gongze earlier."

"it is good."

Guo Jia did not hesitate to rub salt into the wounds of his clan brother who always had a high self-esteem.

Even for the Liu family, the largest royal family in the Han Dynasty, many of its branches were reduced to farming to make a living. Therefore, the Guo family in Yingchuan could not be monolithic, and the contradictions between the main line and the branches were also great.

Similar to Guo Jia, although he is still a member of the Guo family in Yingchuan, he is actually a branch within a branch. He is no different from an ordinary poor family. Even the resources for studying need to be obtained by traveling on his own.

Therefore, when Guo Jia left home for a study tour this time, he actually sold off some of the farmland left behind by his parents in exchange for travel expenses, almost completely cutting off contact with the Guo family.

Liu Bei was also quite keenly aware of this, so his words that seemed to rub salt into Guo Tu's wounds actually narrowed the distance between him and Guo Jia.

Li Ji, who was listening on the sidelines, witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but marvel once again at Liu Bei's invisible charm in bringing people closer to each other.

In just a few sentences, Guo Jia unknowingly became closer to Liu Bei like a friend.

"But just now I saw that there is a wonderful strategy for breaking through mountains and crossings written on the thing hung by Fengxiao. I am ready to boldly ask for advice. Please give me Fengxiao's advice."

When Liu Bei mentioned this matter, he bowed to Guo Jia seriously, not caring at all that Guo Jia was not famous and was just a young man who had just reached the crown.

At this, even Guo Jia was shocked. They did not expect that Liu Bei, as the governor of a county, would be so courteous to a corporal. This made Guo Jia return the courtesy and said.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Liu Fu. If you ask for a plan right now, I'm sorry that I don't have a good plan."

Liu Bei frowned slightly when he heard this and said.

"Is it because Fengxiao thinks that Abei is not sincere enough?"

"Bei's desire to seek good advice is not for his own selfish desires, nor for military success. It is actually to protect the people of Wu County from being invaded by Shanyue. And Bei must truthfully report his filial piety to the court. He will never dare to do so. Take every bit of credit for yourself."

"Be prepared to make an oath made by our ancestors, and people and gods will learn from it."

As soon as these calm and kind words came out, Guo Jia, who originally came here only for Li Ji, couldn't help but look at Liu Bei seriously.

'He is truly a benevolent king...'

Guo Jia was secretly amazed.

Guo Jia had been in Yingchuan before and had heard many rumors about Liu Bei's benevolence.

But in the eyes of a wise man, many benevolent actions may not necessarily contain evil intentions or have ulterior motives.

However, what Guo Jia didn't expect was that when he met Liu Bei in person, he really had a heart-wrenching charm.

Guo Jia even subconsciously had the idea of ​​​​creating a great cause with him.

However, Guo Jia turned his eyes and looked at Li Ji, who was standing beside Liu Bei with a half-smile on his face and a gentle and calm temperament.

This idea was suppressed by Guo Jia almost instantly.

Based on the rumors that Liu Bei trusts and values ​​Li Ji, it may be difficult for anyone under Liu Bei to rival him in status.

Guo Jia, who has his own arrogance, all he wants to do is scheme against others, how can he be subordinate to others?

Even if he is working for Liu Bei, Guo Jia's bottom line is that Li Zikun is in charge, and he is the mastermind and everyone performs their duties.

Several thoughts emerged from Guo Jia's mind, and he turned to Liu Bei and said seriously. "Mr. Liu Fu, I really don't have a good plan in my mind at this moment, but if Mr. Liu Fu believes me, let me follow the army south. By then, I will have a clever plan in my heart to break through the mountains with my palms."

What a crazy student!
What a loud tone! ! !
Before Liu Bei had time to react, Xiahou Bo and Xu Sheng, who were guarding Liu Bei and Li Ji, couldn't help but frown, feeling unhappy at the arrogance of the immature scholar in front of them.

Even though Mr. Zikun has never made such arrogant remarks, how did this scholar get the confidence to speak out in front of the Lord and Mr. Zikun?
However, Xiahou Bo and Xu Sheng were both calm people. With their lord in front, they would not do anything like overstepping their authority. They could not help but glare at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia didn't care at all about the two questioning glances.

However, not to mention Xiahou Bo and Xu Sheng, even Liu Bei's judgment is that Guo Jiacai may have extraordinary learning, but these wild claims are often exaggerated.

In Liu Bei's mind, no one in the world could match Zi Kun in terms of political planning.

Even Li Jishang felt that the situation in the southern part of Wu County was a bit tricky. How could this young man who had just attained the crown be able to solve it easily?

Guo Jia knew that it was difficult to win people's trust with empty words, so he raised his hands and spoke to Li Ji.

"I have heard of Mr. Zikun's name for a long time, but your claim that the military ability of the world's elites can be measured by 'crossing the red water four times' is indeed a bit exaggerated."

"Not to mention that Mr. Zikun only took advantage of his own sandbox and was not able to achieve the complete victory he set up. More importantly, below is a part of the content that was sent to Yingchuan about 'Four Crosses of Red Water'. Know how to break the situation."

After a pause, Guo Jia couldn't help but pick up the gourd from his waist and took a sip of wine before continuing.

"So the original intention of coming to Wu County this time is to become Mr. Zikun's guest; secondly, it is also to rectify the names of many scholars in Yingchuan, and to teach Mr. Zikun about the 'Four Crosses of Red Water' The sand table may be difficult to measure for mediocrity, but it is not enough to measure the talents of heaven.”

it is good!
What a confident and arrogant Guo Fengxiao! ! !
In just one sentence, he secretly stepped on Guo Tu several times and also belittled Li Ji and promoted himself.

This kind of offensive words directed at Li Ji made Liu Bei frown slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

Li Ji knew Liu Bei very well.

Noticing the subtle change in Liu Bei's expression, Li Ji secretly thought something was wrong.

Guo Tu is just that. He may have some talents, but his character is lacking. Generally speaking, he is not the same person as Liu Bei, and he will not be used by Liu Bei.

But Guo Jia is different. He may be arrogant and confident, but he has corresponding abilities. If he can win his loyalty, he will be worthy of his arm.

It is common sense that people with extraordinary intelligence will have some arrogance.

Only Jia Xu, who has a unique temperament, doesn't mind the established fact of being kidnapped at all.

If it were someone like Guo Jia, he would probably refuse to obey.

Immediately, Li Jijing said directly.

"Oh? Then please give Fengxiao some advice on how to crack it."

"It's nothing more than four words: anticipate the enemy first! Only in this way, avoid the strong and attack the weak, and deal with the enemy in the mountains, can we retreat from the encirclement." Guo Jia said confidently.

When Li Ji heard this, he praised Guo Jia even more.

As expected, Guo Jia was able to leave a strong mark in history despite his great reputation. He was often praised by Cao Cao for his filial piety, and he would not have been defeated in Chibi.

It can be seen that, at least in Cao Cao's view, Guo Jia's wisdom is definitely not inferior to Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu.

Now, Guo Jia is undoubtedly telling the truth.

The way to crack the "Four Crosses of Red Water" is to "anticipate the enemy first", mobilize the enemy by avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, and then tear apart the enemy's encirclement net layer by layer, so that you can retreat completely.

But some things are easy to know, but not necessarily easy to do.

Li Ji still had the half-smiling look on his face and said. "Fengxiao probably has never been to Rende Academy, nor has he ever performed a simulation on the sand table in person, right?"

"I haven't arrived at Rende Academy yet. I heard on the way that there are messengers coming and going frequently from Wu County. I guess Liu Fujun will lead his army southward from here today, so I'm waiting here."

Guo Jia replied lightly, but he showed his ability to know the subtleties.

After a pause, Guo Jia immediately realized what Li Ji meant and asked. "Does Li Zikun think that I can't break through 'Four Crosses of Red Water'?"

“Easier said than done.”

Li Ji responded, but indirectly confirmed this statement.

"Predict the enemy first" is the gist of the idea of ​​​​breaking the "Four Crosses of Red Water" sand table, and it is not difficult to predict the enemy several times in advance, but the difficulty is that there should not be one mistake in the whole process, otherwise all the efforts will be wasted.

If it weren't for Li Ji's "strategy simulator", Li Ji asked himself how it would be impossible to replicate that miracle even on the sand table.

However, Li Ji's words obviously made Guo Jiado feel dissatisfied and he retorted.

"Li Zikun, who doesn't want to be famous as a great man, is such a narrow-minded person! Otherwise, it is impossible to tell the difference between the superior and the inferior by talking about military affairs on paper. If not, let me go south with the army, and you and I will make plans for each other to see who can conquer the mountain!" (End of this chapter)
