Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 22 Yaowu! Show off your power! Build momentum!

In the eyes of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, this strategy was quite the essence of "two peaches kill three soldiers", but Li Ji knew that the real name of this strategy was "internal scrolling".

With limited resources (meat) and limited work (number of Yellow Turban thieves), whoever wants to eat more meat, or even wants his family to eat more meat, then these Yellow Turbans can only fight each other crazily. .

The Yellow Turban thieves hiding among the Yellow Turbans were killed one by one, and the meat that was clearly displayed in front of everyone was also divided into one pound and one pound less.

As long as one person takes action, it is destined that the entire Yellow Turbans can only compete with each other.

After the overall situation was decided, Li Ji headed straight back to Zhuoxian City under the protection of fifty cavalry led by Guan Yu.

However, Guan Yu looked pensive along the way, as if he couldn't help but speak after thinking for a long time.

"Mr. Zikun, Guan has some doubts. Can you give me some advice?"

When Li Ji heard this, a certain shadow once again loomed in his mind, but he regained his confidence in an instant.

Although it only lasted a few days, Li Ji relied on his photographic memory to successfully complete "Spring and Autumn Zuo Zhuan" once. Not to mention how much he understood it, but he was definitely not speechless when asked.

"Yun Chang, please tell me." Li Ji replied.

Guan Yu asked. "The plan used by Mr. Shicai Zikun, Guan thought carefully and found that there seemed to be no loopholes. If some evil people wrongly accused ordinary people of being defrauded of meat by yellow scarf thieves, wouldn't this be harming ordinary people?"

Li Ji heard this, thought for a moment, and asked. "I remember that Yunchang is from Jie County, Hedong County?"

Guan Yu didn't understand what he meant, but he still answered. "Of course."

"With Chang Yun's magnanimity and courage, there must be very few people from all over the county who don't know Chang Yun." Li Ji guessed.

"That's natural."

Guan Yu responded naturally, and then looked at Li Ji's meaningful smile and suddenly understood.

The communication in this era is extremely underdeveloped, which also leads to people in the countryside knowing each other quite well.

When the Yellow Turban thieves plundered the people, they often recruited large areas of people to join the Yellow Turban crowd. Based on human nature, groups that are familiar with each other will instinctively stick together.

Therefore, perhaps those people who are gathered together are not sure that the strange faces appearing around them must be Yellow Turban thieves, but they will definitely not sit idly by once a familiar face is wrongfully accused of being a Yellow Turban thieves.

"It's wonderful. It turns out that in addition to being the executors of this plan, the common people are also the best supervisors of each other."

Guan Yu praised it and then asked another question. "What if some people deliberately cover up fellow thieves who have joined the Yellow Turbans?"

"What's the matter?"

Li Ji said disapprovingly.

"There is no need to be too harsh on the people. Since a hundred people joining the Yellow Turbans can gain the understanding of a large number of villagers, why should we get to the bottom of it."

"Furthermore, this shows that the weakness of the yellow turban thieves lies in the people from the same hometown. As long as we have no intention of killing the people, those yellow turban thieves will definitely not do any riots. There is no need to go through it." Kill more.”

Guan Yu nodded in approval and said. "Mr. Zikun also has benevolence in his heart, and Guan admires him."

仁？
  Li Ji did not comment on this, but his eyes were fixed on the Zhuoxian city wall that was vaguely visible at the end of his sight in the distance.

There were also soldiers on the Zhuoxian city wall who noticed the movement of the fifty riders and quickly closed the city gate.

By the time Li Ji arrived in front of the Zhuoxian city gate, the city gate had been completely closed, and many county soldiers were ready to draw their bows.

"Who is coming?"

Due to the distance, Li Ji couldn't see clearly who was asking questions at the city gate.

However, Li Ji had no intention of answering, and turned to Guan Yu.

"Yun Chang, please lead fifty riders to circle the Zhuo County city twice to show off your power! Show off your power! Build momentum!"

"Tie the heads of Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao to the Yellow Turban banner, and then shout: Great victory! The thief Cao Liu Xuande defeated the Yellow Turban, beheaded the general and captured the flag. The heads of the Yellow Turban thief and the banner are here!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu judged that Li Ji was currently far away from the Zhuoxian city wall and there was no need to worry about his safety for the time being, so he immediately acted according to Li Ji's words.

"Big win!!!"

"The thief Cao Liu Xuande defeated the Yellow Turbans, beheaded the generals and captured the flag. The leader of the Yellow Turban thieves and the great banner are here!!"

For a time, the sound of galloping war horses was like the sound of war drums reaching Zhuoxian County. At the same time, Guan Yu and the fifty riders kept shouting this message in unison.

In an instant, not only the county soldiers on the city wall looked at him sideways, but even the people in Zhuo County were surprised when they heard the deafening shouts, and then started shouting with joy.

Zhuoxian City was not a tall city wall to begin with. After Guan Yu led his fifty cavalry to circle twice and shouted in unison, even Li Ji could faintly hear the movement from within Zhuoxian County.

In particular, it was only three days ago that Liu Bei led two thousand soldiers out of the city to fight against the thieves, and the heated discussion in Zhuoxian about Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness that was not afraid of life and death has not yet subsided.

However, the people in Zhuoxian County were more discussing whether Liu Bei, such a benevolent and righteous man, had any chance of coming back alive.

At this time, I heard that Liu Bei had defeated the Yellow Turban bandits, which undoubtedly completely detonated the commotion in Zhuoxian County.

Liu Yan, the prefect, was naturally alarmed by such a movement. He hurriedly climbed up the tower and looked at Li Ji and others below from a distance.

Compared with Li Ji's attire, Guan Yu's beautiful beard under his chin was undoubtedly highly recognizable. Even from a very long distance, Liu Yan could roughly tell that the man with the beautiful beard was Guan Yu.

The shocked Liu Yan inadvertently pulled off a few of his beards and made a few "hiss" sounds. He didn't know whether he was exclaiming that Liu Bei's mere two thousand men actually defeated the Yellow Turbans, or simply crying out in pain.

"Then Liu Bei must be capable of three heads and six arms?" Liu Yan said doubtfully.

Zou Jing, who was standing next to Liu Yan, cupped his hands and said.

"Sir, in my opinion, not to mention Liu Bei's three heads and six arms, even if all the two thousand people have three heads and six arms, it is impossible to win the Yellow Turbans. The number of Yellow Turbans reported by the spies is overwhelming. You can't see the end at a glance. At least there are fifty thousand. number."

"That man is clearly Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu, and what happened to the head and the big banner in his hand?" Liu Yan asked rhetorically.

Zou Jing hesitated for a long time, then spoke.

"Or, is it forged? So... the so-called soldiers are deceitful. Then Liu Bei said that he had already surrendered to the Yellow Turbans, and then specially ordered Guan Yu to falsely open the city gate."

However, the look Liu Yan gave Zou Jing seemed to be: Are you fooling me?

Liu Yan knew that his military talents were lacking, so it was true that most of Zhuo County's military affairs were entrusted to Zou Jing.

But Liu Yan was not a fool, and the big banner was definitely not something Liu Bei had the ability to forge.

As for the Yellow Turban thieves deliberately handing over the large banner to the other party in order to fraudulently open the city gate, that is also impossible. No matter how hard you try, you can't hand over all the "base crystals".

Liu Yan twirled his beard, and the resolute face of Liu Bei and Li Ji's confident and calm smile appeared in his mind unconsciously. Inexplicably, he had more trust in this incredible news and ordered.

"Go, put the two soldiers down in the hanging basket, and confirm the identity of each other, as well as their heads and banners."

"Yes, my lord."

Zou Jing quickly assigned two soldiers who could identify Guan Yu's identity and lowered them from the city wall through a hanging basket to confirm his identity.

Soon, the two soldiers returned holding the big banner and the head, and presented it to Liu Yan and Zou Jing.

"It's really a yellow scarf..."

Liu Yan checked it himself and then asked. "Who is leading the dozens of cavalry? Can you see clearly?"

The two soldiers replied. "One is Guan Yu and the other is Li Ji. I have seen them before they left the city."

"So, it seems like it can't be faked."

Liu Yan said with a tone full of exclamation, and then there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart.

Under the rebellion of the Yellow Turban bandits, the huge Han Dynasty was defeated everywhere, with few victories.

Now that Zhuojun under Liu Yan's command defeated the huge Yellow Turban Army, Liu Yan could understand with just a little thought that this would definitely bring him great fame, prestige, and achievements.

Immediately, Liu Yan pondered for ten breaths, and then his face returned to the expression of neither sadness nor joy, and he said.

"Since we have confirmed that they are under the command of the thief Cao Liu Xuande, the official governor of me, there is no reason not to allow them to enter the city, so we will let them enter the city, and then order Li Ji and Guan Yu to come to the prefect's mansion to meet me."

After saying that, Liu Yan waved his sleeves and robe, and walked downstairs back to the prefect's mansion in a hurry, taking the two heads and the big banner with him.

However, when Liu Yan got off the tower and got on the carriage to return to the governor's palace, he heard voices discussing Liu Bei's victory over the Yellow Turbans from both sides of the road.

Liu Yan suddenly thought of something, and his face became a little ugly.

"You kid with a bad mouth, are you trying to force me to do this? It's ridiculous."

Liu Yan said leisurely, and almost instantly, several ways appeared in his mind to make Liu Bei obediently hand over the huge military exploits in his hands.

"If you are obedient and work for me, I may be able to help you. Since you are so ignorant, don't blame me."

Liu Yan snorted coldly, and then ordered the groom. "Boost."

Soon, Liu Yan returned to his prefect's mansion, and then gave a few instructions to the Jun Cheng who hurriedly greeted him, and then strode into the prefect's mansion.

When Li Ji and Guan Yu entered Zhuoxian County and arrived at the Prefect's Mansion, what they saw was not Liu Yan who went out to greet them in person, but strong county soldiers lined up in two rows with weapons in hand.

Discontinued?
  When Li Ji saw this, he smiled casually.

Ten days ago, Li Jishang might have been frightened by this scene.

However, after being in close contact with powerful generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for a period of time, Li Ji, who also planned and witnessed the annihilation of the Yellow Turban Thieves, would not be frightened by such a small scene.

As for Guan Yu who was following Li Ji, he narrowed his eyes slightly and disdained to comment on these chickens and dogs, and reminded Li Ji in a low voice.

"Mr. Zikun, if something happens, please hide behind Guan immediately. Guan will protect your family and leave safely even if you risk your life."

"Hahaha, Yun Chang is worrying too much."

Li Ji said with a smile, facing dozens of bright weapons extending from the front door of the prefect's mansion to the main hall.

"Brother Xuande and I led two thousand soldiers in a bloody battle. We were invincible. Even the overwhelming Yellow Turban Army couldn't do anything to us. How could the county soldiers with less than a hundred people dare to take action?"

"Furthermore, everything we do is benevolent and righteous, and we do not hesitate to sacrifice our lives to protect the people of Zhuo County. Now that we have returned to Zhuo County, we will definitely be grateful to thousands of fellow villagers. How can we fight with each other?"

This Lang Lang's voice not only reached Liu Yan's ears in the main hall, but also clearly reached the ears of every county soldier.

Many county soldiers' faces turned red with shame and anger. They lowered their heads subconsciously and did not dare to look directly at Li Ji. Even the soldiers standing beside them turned slightly unconsciously, unwilling to face Li Ji's direction.

Seeing this scene, Li Ji didn't feel the slightest bit proud, but his heart was filled with an indescribable pride.

'We, the Han people, may have many shortcomings, but we never lack those who are generous and sing loudly, nor are we short of heroes who are willing to devote themselves to our ideals and righteousness, nor are we short of those who are grateful, grateful and deeply aware of righteousness. '

'Liu Yan, Liu Yan, your orders may not be able to overwhelm the shame and righteousness of these county soldiers. How can the soldiers of the people be aimed at the back of the figure who protects the people? '

'What if Brother Xuande raised his arms and called out at this moment: Liu Yan is a man who knows the Yellow Turban Thief! I don't know whether these county soldiers will listen to you or to Liu Xuande, a fellow countryman and clan member. '

Immediately, Li Ji waved his sleeves and walked calmly through the two rows of county soldiers, reaching the main hall and bowing to Liu Yan who was sitting in the main seat.

"Li Ji, a scholar from Zhuo County, pays homage to the Grand Administrator."

The situation outside the main hall was naturally not hidden from Liu Yan, which made Liu Yan's face obviously show a gloomy look.

However, after a few breaths, Liu Yanshi's gloomy look dissipated, and instead he stood up in person and walked to Li Ji to help him, and said with a gentle smile on his face.

"No courtesy! I heard that Mr. Zikun has returned from a great victory, and I was about to organize soldiers to go out to greet him with the highest standards of etiquette. I didn't expect that Mr. Zikun came so quickly."

Li Ji smiled back, as if he didn't know what he just said was a show of force, and responded.

"It's actually my fault that I couldn't wait to report the news of the great victory to you, sir."

"Mr. Zikun, what's wrong? I'll sit down and talk in detail later."

Liu Yan took Li Ji's wrist and sat down, and then he did not sit back on the seat, but sat directly opposite Li Ji.

However, when Liu Yan saw Guan Yu standing behind Li Ji holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, his expression could not help but froze slightly, and then he stretched out his hand to signal to the seat on one side.

"Is this Xuande's second brother Guan Yun? Please take a seat."

However, unlike Li Ji, who was arrogant and conceited, Guan's phoenix eyes opened a little and did not hide his contempt and disdain for Liu Yan, and said proudly.

"Guan has thanked you for your kindness, but Guan is wearing armor and is stained with the blood of thieves. It is not appropriate to stain the seat of your mansion. Just stand here."

"you?!"

No matter how deep Liu Yancheng was, he was so scorned by Guan Yu, a mere warrior, and he couldn't help but get angry. He held the teacup high in his hand and dropped it.
