Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

But after Liu Bei scolded him, he felt deeply powerless.

Blindly cursing cannot change the world, nor can it change the world.

After a while, Liu Bei spoke slowly. "Zikun, so you knew from the beginning that troubled times were coming, so everything you did was to prepare for troubled times?"

When Li Ji heard this, he instinctively just nodded in agreement.

Just after noticing Liu Bei's seemingly complicated eyes, he suddenly realized something and replied.

"In Ji's eyes, since troubled times are unavoidable, if he wants to calm the troubled times and rebuild a great man, he naturally needs to find a benevolent king who has the same aspirations as Ji and has the people's heart."

"My lord, this is Ji's choice."

At this moment, what Liu Bei saw in Li Ji's eyes was unprecedented sincerity.

These words... are true!
Even though it has been embellished to a certain extent, it is indeed what Li Ji said from the bottom of his heart.

This made Liu Bei's initially hesitant and wavering heart instantly settle down. His eyes regained their previous firmness and calmness, and he asked a question.

"Since Bei is Zikun's choice, will Zikun definitely follow Bei's will?"

Liu Bei's attitude towards Li Ji has always been extremely frank. There is no need for Li Ji to worry about his will, he said bluntly.

"If troubled times really come, Bi will be lucky enough to imitate Emperor Guangwu to calm down the troubled times and rebuild the Han Dynasty. But if His Majesty's son is still alive, Bi will also have to return power to His Majesty's legitimate heir. Can Zikun make his choice without hindrance and support Bi? ?”

At this moment, Li Ji smiled.

The laughter made Liu Bei feel nervous!
"Ji, I share the same mind and heart with my lord, and I swear to God that I will not do anything to stop him! When my lord wants to imitate Duke Zhou, what's the harm in Ji just following my lord to hide in the world and make a living by fishing?"

As Li Ji said those words without any reluctance, the stone in Liu Bei's heart finally fell completely, and the eyes he looked at Li Ji were filled with excitement.

Li Zikun is the only one who shares the same mind and virtue with Bei!
"Good good!"

Liu Bei couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Li Ji hard, and then said in a deep voice.

"Bei knows Zikun's aspirations, and Bei also believes in Zikun's judgment! If troubled times are coming, you and I, my lord and ministers, should do our part, save the world, save the people, and rebuild a great man, so that we can live up to our conscience!"

"Even if what you are doing at this moment may go against the principles of being a loyal minister, Bei and Zikun's honest hearts can shine like the sun and the moon, and they can look up to the heaven and earth without any shame. That's enough!"

Li Ji nodded heavily, his eyes clear and clear.

This time, Li Ji revealed his thoughts to Liu Bei almost completely frankly...

Of course, just "almost"...

The remaining little bit is that he did not take the initiative to tell Liu Bei that he had really gone to that point. Even if he wanted to return power to others, it would be impossible.

There is no need for Li Ji to take the initiative to make a difference. As long as Li Ji expresses his neutral stance, Liu Bei will know what "yellow robe" means.

Liu Bei obviously fell asleep in the military camp, but when he woke up, he was already living in the palace, sleeping on a dragon bed, wearing a dragon robe...

Moreover, Li Ji knew that it was impossible to give Liu Bei a chance to return to power.

Even if Jia Xu is not for wealth, but just to protect himself from being liquidated after returning to power, when Liu Bei gets closer, he will definitely kill the emperor's heir in an impeccable way.

Even if it is not as outrageous as committing suicide by being stabbed seventeen times in the back, there is no way to escape if someone commits suicide by hanging himself in shame of his ancestors.

With Jia Xu's ability, he will definitely be impeccable, so that the world can't find any faults.

Li Ji just promised Liu Bei not to stop him, but he never vowed to stop it.

'Lord, as long as you don't change your original intention, Ji will definitely make your dragon chair sit firmly, and even weld it directly to His Majesty's dragon hip...'

Li Ji, who was completely relaxed, even had his thoughts wandering a little, and a smile appeared on his face.

This made Liu Bei couldn't help but ask. "Zikun, why are you laughing?"

Li Ji was slightly startled by the question, and then answered quickly.

"For public reasons, Ji and the Lord are of the same mind; for private reasons, Ji is lucky enough to marry Zhao Ji, and may have an heir in the near future. She will have a family and a successful career. How can I not laugh?"

After hearing this, Liu Bei relaxed and couldn't help but say.

"The love is so great. If Zikun has an heir by then, will he be lucky enough to be his adoptive father?"

Foster father... meeting foster father again? !

Li Ji discovered that there seems to be a "adopted father" trend in this era. How dangerous is this?

At that time, Li Ji had been a loyal minister all his life, but his heir turned out to be a rebellious boy who was cursed by the "adopted father" and killed Liu Bei. Then wouldn't I, Li, become Sima Yi? !

"No!"

Li Ji almost blurted out his objection, which made Liu Bei look stunned.

Li Ji coughed slightly and said.

"My lord, instead of being a foster father, why not consider giving birth to an heir as soon as possible. If he is of the same sex, you and I can follow the example of Taoyuan's sworn relationship and worship him as a brother. If he is of the opposite sex, we can also get closer and closer."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei was really moved. "What Zikun said is very reasonable."

Liu Bei immediately couldn't help but think about it. If he quickly gets married and takes concubines, and works harder, wouldn't he be able to catch up with Zikun?
"Zikun, it's a deal!" Liu Bei said seriously.

For Liu Bei, one of the small regrets in life is that he met Li Ji after they became sworn brothers in Taoyuan. It would be a good thing if he and Zikun's heirs could make up for this regret.

"A word is settled!"

Li Ji would naturally not resist this.

Anyway, Li Ji only promised to become sworn sworn friends if they were of the same sex, and if they were of the opposite sex, they just talked about the possibility of getting closer to each other, and did not say that they would definitely make a baby kiss.

What Liu Bei valued was the promise of same-sex sworn union.

However, Liu Bei also directly determined the choice of his legitimate son's wife in his mind at this moment, and he must choose among the heirs of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Li Ji.

However, Liu Bei considered that Li Ji might not give birth to boys, so he couldn't help but start thinking about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's marriage.

Unlike Li Ji, who was not sworn sworn brother, Liu Bei, as the eldest brother, was like a father. In this regard, he was able to decide the marriage between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with one word.

It's just that the two parties in the house were honest and had a good conversation, but Zhang Fei, who was waiting outside the house, heard that there was no movement in the house for a long time, and he felt so anxious that he was jumping up and down.

Seeing this, Xiahou Bo on the side couldn't help but expressed relief.

"Third general, there is no need to be anxious. My lord will come out after discussing business with Mr. Zikun."

"Ji Chang, you don't know the...problem, I'm afraid something will happen."

Zhang Fei said with some anxiety.

The look on Liu Bei's face just now was the first time Zhang Fei had seen, and Mr. Zikun, who had always been as gentle as jade, also had a firm attitude that would not give in.

How could Zhang Fei not be anxious?
Just when Zhang Fei couldn't help but debate whether to knock on the door and ask, the main hall door opened from the inside, and Liu Bei and Li Jijun walked out with smiles on their faces.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Fei quickly stepped forward and became concerned and asked.

"Brother...brother, are you okay?"

"What's wrong with Bei Neng?" Liu Bei asked back.

"Then what happened between Brother Shicai and Mr. Zikun..." Zhang Fei asked vaguely.

"I have already completed my discussions with Zikun, and leave it to Zikun to make the final decision. On the other hand, Yide should not say anything while he is away." When Liu Bei finished speaking, he did not forget to remind Zhang Fei.

In this regard, Zhang Fei gradually understood the power of this.

Everyone seems to think Zhang Fei is a reckless man, but in fact Zhang Fei is not stupid at all. He just typically moves his body faster than his head.

Liu Bei turned to Li Ji and said. "Zikun, I'd like to ask you to worry more about the things we discussed just now."

"Lord, don't worry, Ji is confident in his heart." Li Ji responded with a free and confident smile.

This candid announcement with Liu Bei can be regarded as a settlement, and Li Ji can now let go of some actions that he had to restrain his hands in before.

Immediately, Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and left the government office directly.

Knowing that troubled times were coming, it undoubtedly had a huge psychological impact on Liu Bei, but in terms of pressure, Liu Bei really didn't feel much pressure suddenly.

After all, there is Zikun behind him...

However, this also caused certain changes in some of Liu Bei's concepts and ideas.

Therefore, Liu Bei took Zhang Fei away, but he was planning to visit the many guests who were still in Wu County one by one.

Knowing that troubled times were coming, Liu Bei was relieved that Li Ji was centrally controlling all military and political affairs, but Liu Bei naturally also needed to win over all parties, accumulate connections, and seek out talents.

However, not long after Liu Bei left, a piece of information came back from the Jinyi Division, which darkened Li Ji's original beautiful mood.

Xu You... ran away!
The Jinyisi lurking in Kuaiji County failed to catch Xu You, and Xu You even abandoned his domestic slaves and asked his domestic slaves to wait for news on the shore, while he hid in the military tent and fled quietly.

This made Jin Yisi, who had originally confirmed Xu You's whereabouts through the house slaves outside surveillance, realize that something was wrong. Xu You had already disappeared without a trace.

This made Li Ji slightly dissatisfied, but he was helpless.

However, if Xu You ran away, it would undoubtedly be a minor trouble.

Xu You may still be far from a top strategist, but his abilities definitely live up to his reputation as a celebrity, and there is no guarantee that he may become an obstacle to Wu Jun in the future.

However, at this point, Li Ji had no way of pursuing the matter, so he had to let Jinyisi pay close attention to Xu You's whereabouts for the time being, and let Guo Jia polish his ink, and then personally write the military orders to Guan Yu and the secret orders to Gan Ning.

The Jinfan thief Gan Ning apparently had nothing to do with Wu Jun. Even if some people suspected that Gan Ning controlled Guo Yi to control Kuaiji County, there was no evidence implicating Wu Jun.

It's just that Gan Ning still has heavy responsibilities, and Jiang Zhi's ability may be more than enough to serve as a county magistrate. However, "taking Guo Yi to command Kuaiji" is a delicate job, and Jiang Zhi may not be able to firmly control the situation in Kuaiji County.

For a moment, I don’t know why, but I thought of such dirty and tiring work.

Li Ji immediately thought of the most suitable candidate...Jia Xu, the great gentleman. (End of chapter)
