Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 219 Offensive and defensive changes

Listening to Guo Jia's words, Li Ji just smiled lightly, but had no intention of answering at all.

You've entered Lao Na's bowl and you still want to escape?

Jia Xu can't run away, but you, Guo Jia, still want to run away?

Guo Jia thought that he could come and go freely, whether in the military camp or in the city, without any supervision. In fact, he was monitored by the Jinyi Division twelve hours a day.

Perhaps Li Ji believed in Guo Jia subjectively, but Li Ji always liked to add an extra layer of physical protection.

Li Ji's smile without saying a word was undoubtedly more like a kind of silent trust in the eyes of others, which made Guo Jia feel a little complicated.

After all, no matter how high Guo Jia thinks of himself, he still knows that he is actually just a white person with a low reputation, and has never even been recognized by others in the Guo family before.

However, as a famous scholar all over the world, Li Ji was not dissatisfied or angry with his provocation. On the contrary, he trusted him in everything, treated him like a friend and a good mentor, and even left military affairs to him. .

Being appreciated from a humble family, not irritated or rude, but full of trust...

Guo Jia looked at Li Ji's gentle smile, took a sip of the tea in front of him, and then immersed himself in handling the tedious military sundries for Li Ji, and said.

"The war is over. I will have three bottles of wine and get drunk all day and night."

"Less alcohol, more tea."

Li Ji persuaded with some concern.

Guo Jia was slightly depressed for a while and replied with his head lowered. "Private matters are none of your business."

'Arrogant boy...'

Li Ji secretly said, after this period of contact, how can he still not understand Guo Jia?
Guo Jia, who was born in a poor family, both his parents died when he was young. He is undoubtedly the type who lacks care. In addition, there are a series of problems such as fighting and suppression within the wealthy family.

Li Ji even suspected that Guo Jiawei had never experienced bullying within the clan.

That's why Guo Jia turned his attention to wine at such a young age. As soon as he reached his prime, he couldn't wait to stay away from the Guo family and travel around to prove himself.

Immediately, Li Ji also took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and began to build up the terrain from Qiantang County to Fuchun Mountain like a sand table in his mind.

Then, based on the known intelligence, both the enemy and our forces were deployed.

And as this sand table similar to three-dimensional modeling was completed in his mind, Li Ji felt that his thinking became much clearer for a while, and even the respective goals of Kuaiji County and Shanyue seemed to be clear.

Perhaps, there are still some unclear points: for example, how Guo Yi, the governor of Kuaiji County, hooked up with Shan Yue, what is the basis of trust for the cooperation between the two parties, and how the cake agreed upon by Guo Yi and Shan Yue was divided. .

If these points could be made clear, it would be much easier for Li Ji to implement counterintuitive tactics to destroy their alliance.

Once the alliance between Kuaiji County and Shanyue falls apart, neither of them will be able to pose any substantial threat to Wu County.

Unfortunately, Wu Jun's overall understanding of Shanyue is still lacking, and the intelligence network of Kuaiji County is not deep enough.

This left Li Ji to find a way to break the situation in a head-on battle.

'And now, the next action that Kuaiji County and Shanyue are likely to take is...'

Li Ji thought for a while, and in his mind, the Kuaiji County troops originally gathered in Yuji County began to advance forward, and Shanyue hidden in the mountains on the other side of Fuchun Mountain would also begin to attack Guan Yu's troops.

To overwhelm others with force...

Relying on the absolute superiority of troops, Wujun could only focus on one thing and lose the other.

If Li Ji were in Kuaiji County's position, he would probably make the same choice.

If Kuaiji County really does this, it will completely prove that there must be unknown counselors around Guo Yi to help.

At this moment, Xu Sheng stepped in, holding a military report in his hand and said.

"Mr. Zikun, there are changes in Kuaiji County. A large number of troops have begun to be deployed along the Qiantang River. It seems that there is a tendency to cross the river at any time."

"Oh?"

Li Ji took the military newspaper handed over by Xu Sheng and took a look at it himself, but couldn't help but laugh.

When Guo Jia heard this, he was different from the previous state where he followed Li Ji in a reserved and arrogant manner and would never take a second look at any military report that Li Ji did not take the initiative to give. At this moment, Guo Jia took the initiative to come over.

After reading the military report, Guo Jia couldn't help but frown, realizing something was wrong.

"Beacon Tower did not scare the opponent away, but instead laid out a naked conspiracy. I am afraid its intention is to contain our army's strength and prevent our army from lightly assisting the battlefield on the Fuchun Mountain side."

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, murmured about the current predicament, and then asked Xu Sheng. "General Xu, I wonder how strong the troops in Kuaiji County are?"

When Xu Sheng heard this, he glanced at Li Ji and confirmed that Li Ji had no intention of stopping Guo Jia from interfering, and then he handed over his hand. "According to scout observation, it's about 20,000."

When Guo Jia heard this number, he blurted out subconsciously.

"It's troublesome."

Although Xu Sheng did not read many military books, Xu Sheng had a keen sense of battlefield and was also aware of the problem at the moment.

Naked conspiracy!

Whether it is abandoning Fuchun Mountain or Qiantang County, it is a dilemma for Wu County.

In other words, it makes no sense to protect only one, but it seems impossible to protect both at the same time.

Finally, Xu Sheng came up with a solution that was not a solution and suggested.

"Mr. Zikun, why don't you report this matter to the lord and ask the lord to report to the Ming court immediately and strictly order Kuaiji County Guo Yi to withdraw his troops."

Li Ji shook his head helplessly and said.

"General Xu, even if the imperial court orders Guo Yi to be punished, it will take more than two months for the messenger to go back and forth to the imperial court. Distant water cannot save close fire."

"What's more, the Shichangshiqie behind Guo Yi is clearly trying to attack Shanyue. The imperial court may not issue an order to force Guo Yi to retreat. It may even say that Wu Jun is unwilling to use the road and has ulterior motives."

Regarding this aspect, Li Ji had an extremely thorough view and had never counted on the court's attitude.

In the "strategy simulator" in Li Ji's mind, after Li Ji gradually collected and analyzed enough intelligence, feasible strategic options finally began to emerge.

[Under your influence, Wujun embarked on a prosperous road hundreds of years ahead of schedule, and just when everything inside Wujun was gradually getting on track.

The changes in Wujun also attracted the covetousness of others, either due to political struggles, greed, or more complex reasons.

Guo Yi, the governor of Kuaiji County, joined forces with Shanyue to plot against Wu County. Now he is openly displaying his troops on the Qiantang River, intending to join forces with Shanyue to carve up and plunder the three southern counties of Wu County.

Your options for this are:
1. Lure the enemy deep; 2. Change offensive and defensive positions; 3. Conceal the enemy's secrets and cross the sea. 】

As strategic options that emerged based on Li Ji's own abilities, when these three options appeared, Li Ji basically understood the direction they pointed to.

There is no doubt that the first option among them is to "lure the enemy deeper", which is for Li Ji to withdraw the defense line, leaving enough space for the troops of Kuaiji County to join Shanyue to seek the opportunity for a decisive battle.

On plain terrain, even if it was 20,000 versus 50,000, Li Ji believed that he could defeat the opponent's rabble.

In the deep mountains and old forests, Shanyue can still have the capital to jump around. In the plains, even if the Han army does not have the advantage in weapons and equipment, with its military formation, it can beat Shanyue, who is good at fighting alone, to the point of crying.

However, luring the enemy deeper means the need to strengthen the walls and clear the country, and it will inevitably cause great damage and impact to the three southern counties of Wu County.

Therefore, Li Ji gave up the option of "luring the enemy deeper" almost immediately, and instead became quite interested in "changing the enemy's shape offensively and defensively".

[Faced with the dilemma of focusing on one thing and losing another, be decisive if you do not sit back and watch the situation worsen, but choose to "change offense and defense."

You want to come in, then why can't I go in first? 】

[The beacon towers you arranged in advance caused the other party to misjudge your attitude and that you planned to stick to it blindly. Then you openly began to send part of your troops to support Fuchun Mountain, while the vast majority of your troops stayed in Qiantang County to defend.

In fact, the troops you sent out are far more than what the Kuaiji County spies saw.

Moreover, those troops did not rush to aid Fuchun Mountain at all, but went to the upper reaches of the Qiantang River to find a gentle place to cross the river, and secretly entered Kuaiji County. 】

[Zhao Yun was in the vanguard and Xu Sheng was in the center. A total of five thousand elite troops attacked the Kuaiji County troops who were defenseless at the rear.

And when there was chaos on the other side of the Qiantang River, you personally led the army that had been prepared in advance to cross the river and attack Kuaiji County directly.

Under attack from the front and back, the troops deployed by Kuaiji County on the Qiantang River were unable to reach them. They fell into chaos in an instant and were chased for more than ten miles, causing countless casualties. 】

[After the First World War, the soldiers of Kuaiji County died or surrendered. The entire Kuaiji County was like a soft girl, no longer able to resist your attack, and it was up to you to take whatever you wanted.

Even Guo Yi, the governor of Kuaiji County, was easily captured by you, and then listed the charges and sent them to the court for punishment.

Without the restraint of Kuaiji County's troops, Shanyue would have been unable to survive. After you quickly mobilized troops to support Fuchun Mountain, Shanyue quickly retreated as he saw that there was nothing he could do. 】

[Strategy evaluation: Judging from the tactical level, this plan is undoubtedly excellent. It does not stick to conventional thinking, uses the weak to defeat the strong, and turns defense into offense. It has established a victory in a very short period of time and solved the current situation that Wu County is facing. Dilemma.

However, in the strategic field, there may be many hidden dangers.

Even if you try your best to collect evidence of Guo Yi's crime and submit it to the court, is it really impossible for Shi Chang Shi to exonerate Guo Yi? Even Wu Jun's unauthorized attack on Kuaiji County is enough to become an excuse to criticize Liu Bei and you.

Moreover, after this battle, more than 80% of Kuaiji County's troops were lost. How will they resist Shanyue's plundering in the future, which was unscathed in this battle? 】(End of this chapter)
