Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

The current situation in Youzhou is complex and urgent.

It wasn't until a moment later that Jia Xu slowly spoke. "Where is Zikun planning to move the food storage location?"

Li Ji moved the folding fan in his hand slightly, fanning himself away from the heat caused by his mentality or the temperature, and said.

"Except for the port protected by General Gongsun, there is no other suitable place to store food."

Qingzhou?

This choice seems to be a feasible one, but besides Gongsun Zan, which other chief official of You and Qing states would turn a blind eye to such a huge amount of food?
With such a big fat piece of meat, which chief official can withstand such a test?

Therefore, even if Li Ji moves his grain storage location to Qingzhou, he may not be able to find the second Gongsun Zan for a while.

Sun Ce on the side suddenly thought of something and spoke with bright eyes. "Teacher, how about Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje capturing an area as a food storage point?"

……

Li Ji.

Zhao Yun and Sun Ce glanced at Li Ji, who did not express his stance, and then each retreated.

"Mr. Zikun, Mr. Wenhe, Yun has something to say."

Zhao Yun said in a deep voice. "If my lord were here, he would definitely not turn a blind eye to the fact that the fellow villagers of Youzhou were about to suffer disaster from foreign troops. Moreover, even if the three generals learned about this after they woke up, they would definitely fight against the Wuhuan thieves."

When Boss Cao was massacring Xuzhou, he did not hesitate to use the mantis as a chariot to help the people of Xuzhou just because of the word "benevolence and virtue".

But Zhao Yun, who was always taciturn and did not speak easily, suddenly spoke.

How could Li Ji not know this?
Who is Liu Bei?

Therefore, at least Wu Jun's 40,000-strong army wants to coerce the peninsula without mentioning the righteousness, and even hard power may not be enough.

Although Sun Ce didn't think there was anything wrong at all for a while, Sun Ce was very self-aware that Li Ji and Jia Xu's minds were ahead of his own.

By the time of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the peninsula forces had brought down most of the Sui Dynasty, and they even dared to brag that they blinded one of Li Shimin's eyes.

"It's late at night now, and the situation in Youzhou is still unclear. We still need to wait until tomorrow to discuss it. You should retreat and rest first."

There is no doubt that the warmonger refers to Sun Ce.

Noticing the change in Li Ji's expression, Jia Xu's eyes moved slightly and he spoke to Zhao Yun and Sun Ce.

Moreover, the alien race is so ambitious that even if they negotiate a deal to obtain a food storage location, they may go back on their word and attack the food storage location at some point.

It should be noted that compared with Yingzhou, the peninsula forces in this era were more difficult to deal with. They were closer to the Han Dynasty, were more influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, and were much more advanced economically, politically, and militarily than Yingzhou.

Originally, Youzhou was already in chaos, so Sun Ce wanted to bring the peninsula into the mix, right?
Liu Bei's little family really couldn't withstand this level of trouble.

"It's okay to say it, Zilong," Li Ji replied.

Just knowing that the Yellow Turbans were besieging Beihai County in Qingzhou sent thousands of troops to help;

Those who want to lead the people across the river even if it slows down the retreat;

Feeling the strange looks from Li Ji and Jia Xu, Sun Ce lowered his head unconsciously, understanding that he might have made a bad idea.

If Liu Bei were informed of the situation in Youzhou, he would definitely not sit idly by and watch.

Throughout Liu Bei's life, he did too many stupid things in order to bring prosperity to the people.

After Zhao Yun and Sun Ce left, Jia Xu continued. "There is no second person at this moment. I have something to say to Zikun."

"It doesn't matter what Wenhe said." Li Ji replied.

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

"If these 40,000 troops are buried here, the wealth that Zikun has accumulated for the Lord over the years will disappear. And even if Wuhuan is finally resisted, it will not be of any benefit to the Lord."

"Don't let your previous efforts go to waste because of impulsiveness. The best choice now is to assist General Gongsun with some food in the name of Lord Quan's benevolence, and then continue to attack Yingzhou."

"And I believe that with Zikun's style, it is impossible to prepare only one food storage place."

It has to be said that if we talk about the person who knows Li Ji best in the world, Jia Xu is not the second choice.

Even Liu Bei has to be ranked behind Jia Xu.

Li Ji naturally knew how the Battle of Guandu was lost in the original trajectory, and he attached great importance to the food hoarding points that were related to success or failure.

Therefore, in addition to Youzhou, Li Ji indeed prepared other food storage points.

It is neither a peninsula nor Qingzhou, but a desert island outside Qingzhou was chosen to store a certain amount of food for emergency use.

However, the temporarily opened desert island is far from comparable to this port in Youzhou, and the environment for storing food is much worse.

If he wants to transport all the food stored in Youzhou Port to an alternative desert island, Li Ji will also need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to repair the food storage points on the desert island.

Of course, essentially this is just an excuse.

What really made Li Ji hesitate was the slightly similar mentality of Li Ji and Liu Bei. They could not turn a blind eye and watch the Han people being trampled by the iron hoofs of foreign races.

But what Jia Xu said is not unreasonable. Getting involved in the Wuhuan Rebellion would not be of any benefit to Wu County. On the contrary, it is very likely that he openly supported and assisted Gongsun Zan and hated Youzhou Mu, who was also a member of the Han clan. Liu Yu.

Moreover, once the army falls into the quagmire of the Youzhou War, it is likely that there will be no spare power to take care of Yingzhou.

Jia Xu judged that getting involved in Youzhou would be harmful but useless, so he took the initiative to persuade Li Ji.

After Li Ji was silent for a moment, he spoke. "Wen He, you should go down and rest first."

"Zikun, you...sigh..."

Seeing this, Jia Xu had a look of helplessness on his face. After cupping his hands, he also retreated.

Watching Jia Xu leave, Li Ji, who was in a dilemma, slowly lowered his eyes.

What a dilemma!

This is not a choice between right and wrong, but a choice between justice and interests.

"If the Lord were here, how would he choose?"

This question came to Li Ji's mind, and then he got the answer instantly.

Liu Bei definitely did his best to help Gongsun Zan resist Wuhuan and protect the people.

'And what about myself? Will he stop the lord? '

Li Ji hesitated for a moment and suddenly smiled.

Because Li Ji knew that he would never stop it.

Li Ji knows that he has a righteous heart, but he will unconsciously weigh the gains and losses, and he will hesitate in the face of this situation.

But after Liu Bei made his choice, Li Ji knew that he would never object, but instead felt relieved.

"No!"

Li Ji's originally hesitant and drunken eyes gradually became clear and sharp, and he spoke in a low voice.

"I will not stop my lord from doing the right thing, but I will definitely find a way to achieve both ends. This is my responsibility."

The next morning.

Li Ji summoned the generals early to explain the current known situation in Youzhou, which made Jia Xu secretly sigh.

When Li Ji publicly stated the matter, Jia Xu knew what the choice Li Ji would make.

The foreign tribes plundered the Han Dynasty, which almost instantly aroused the anger of the generals.

For generals, attitudes towards foreign races can be roughly divided into two categories: radicals, and conservatives who think that radicals are too conservative.

Zhang Fei, in particular, was filled with anger just after hearing about this matter.

"Mr. Zikun, since we are Han ministers, and this happens, we cannot allow Wuhuan thieves to trample on our Han people."

"Mr. Zikun, as long as you give the order, I am willing to defeat Wuhuan."

"Teacher, Ce'er can also be a pioneer!"

……

For a time, not to mention Zhang Fei and Sun Ce, even Jiang Qin, as a water general, was eager to give it a try and wanted to fight with the Wuhuan traitors on the northern land.

At this point, Jia Xu has no intention of speaking out and singing against the tune, and even agrees with it from time to time.

After all the generals expressed their opinions, Li Ji slapped the table and stood up, saying loudly.

"The morale of the generals is commendable, and Ji also thinks so. How can I, the great Han Dynasty, allow Xiao Xiao, a foreign tribe, to be arrogant? Since he dares to plunder the Han people, if we meet him, then all we have to do is cut off their heads!"

"It's just that this matter still needs to be reported to the lord. I have sent a fast boat to report back to the lord, so as to obtain the permission of the lord to help the Han army defeat the thieves in the land of Youyan."

Although Li Ji knew that this was just a formality, Liu Bei's reaction after hearing this was probably that he wanted to rush to Youzhou in person with his double sword to help in the battle, but it was the duty of a courtier to take the initiative to express his position and seek permission from his lord.

Immediately, Li Ji's voice changed and he said.

"It's just that all matters in Yingzhou are business matters and cannot be ignored. So what should we do?"

Immediately, Li Ji looked towards Jia Xu, making Jia Xu's whole body tense up, and a bad premonition suddenly arose.

Just when the generals were lost in thought, Jia Xu unconsciously began to have the idea of ​​​​excusing himself.

At this moment, under Jia Xu's gaze, Sun Ce seemed to have an enlightenment and spoke.

"Teacher, Wuhuan has many cavalry. Even if the navy goes ashore, it may not be able to be of great use. It is better to divide the troops into two groups for the time being. One group of naval forces will continue to Yingzhou, and the other group will have cavalry and infantry to assist Youzhou in resisting Wuhuan."

"Cer's words are very much in line with my wishes!"

Jia Xu looked at Li Jina and nodded pretendingly, and then asked again.

"But if the troops are divided into two groups, the situation in Youzhou today will become more serious and urgent. Ji will have no choice but to stay in Youzhou and take charge. Who can lead the way to Yingzhou?"

Jia Xu was willing to bet with Xiang Shang's head. Sun Ce would never have thought of dividing the troops in his own mind. He must have been singing the tune as Li Zikun's mouthpiece, and was secretly nodding to himself.

Lead the navy to Yingzhou first?

The navy only numbered ten thousand, and more than half of them had to stay on board at all times, so there were only a handful of usable soldiers.

In addition, the situation in Yingzhou was unknown, so Jia Xu was unwilling to do such a high-risk thing.

Therefore, Jia Xu looked at his eyes, nose and heart, as if he could not understand or hear at all.
