Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 273 Wuhuan! Wuhuan!
Later, Liu Yu personally arranged for Li Ji a mansion very close to the government office as a temporary residence, and also sent all the information related to the Wuhuan Rebellion according to Li Ji's request.

After Li Ji read through it one by one from the beginning, he finally understood why the Wuhuan Rebellion was so serious this time.

Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, these two people can be said to have made indispensable contributions.

It was precisely because of the collusion between Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and Wuhuan inside and outside that they made a surprise attack and killed three key figures: the unsuspecting Wuhuan Colonel, Youbeiping County Sheriff, and Liaodong County Sheriff.

Without these three people, Youbeiping County and Liaodong County were almost instantly leaderless, and were captured by the rebellious Wuhuan in one fell swoop.

Now, the more thorny problem is that according to reports from spies, Wuhuan not only started looting the captured states and counties, but also opened treasuries in various places and seized a large number of weapons and armor. Most of the Wuhuan cavalry have been clad in Han uniforms. Military-style iron armor or leather armor.

The severity of the situation is undoubtedly becoming more clear and serious now. Not only is Youzhou at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, but it is also difficult to gain an upper hand in terms of weapons and armor.

Fortunately, the treasury in various places will not prepare a large number of siege equipment in advance, otherwise even defending Jixian will be a big problem.

Moreover, the existence of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, two real traitors, will undoubtedly make Wuhuan more difficult to deal with and make Wuhuan more clear about the situation in Youzhou.

This made Li Ji's heart sink unconsciously. In plain areas like Youzhou, which are mostly suitable for cavalry operations, it would be too difficult to face the Wuhuan cavalry with more than 100,000 armors.

At least, just comparing the two sides' combat power on paper, it seems that the most appropriate approach for Youzhou is to just defend.

After Li Ji read all the information in detail, it was already getting dark outside the house.

Qi Zhou, the officer sent by Liu Yu to deliver the information, asked as he looked at Li Ji's brows gradually relaxing. "Mr. Zikun, is there anything you can do?"

Li Ji pondered for a moment and then asked. "I wonder if there are any records about Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and the Wuhuan clan in the yamen?"

"Yes." Qi Zhou replied.

"I wonder if you can let me have a look?" Li Ji asked.

"Of course you can. My lord has ordered Mr. Zikun to read all the documents in the government office if necessary." Qi Zhou agreed, and then hurriedly left to make arrangements.

After Li Ji took advantage of this period of free time and had some meals with Zhang Fei who insisted on guarding him at all times, when Qi Zhou came back again, he led a dozen soldiers to push two carts of bamboo slips. come over.

After just a cursory glance, Li Ji judged that the total number of bamboo slips in the two carts was definitely no less than a thousand scrolls.

Qi Zhou stepped forward and pointed to the bamboo slips of the two carts and explained in detail.

"Mr. Zikun, except for the four volumes of records about Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, the rest are all the records about Wuhuan in Youzhou. The farthest can be traced back to the first year of Emperor Gaozu, when Donghu was defeated by the Xiongnu Maodun Shanyu. Fleeing to Wuhuan Mountain and forming some records of Wuhuan."

This made Li Ji feel helpless, but he didn't expect Qi Zhou to be so upright.

The records of the Western Han Dynasty cannot be said to have no effect on the current situation of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but they can only be said to be of little significance.

Fortunately, these bamboo slips were numbered in order. After Li Ji first read the information about Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, he then read the relevant records about Wuhuan backwards one by one.

In the absence of hard power, Li Ji had no choice but to find Wuhuan's own weaknesses in order to defeat the enemy.

And this look is like holding a candle until dawn...

As Li Ji spent the whole night reading all the relevant records about Wuhuan in Youzhou during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Ji almost understood everything about Wuhuan at the moment.

"call……"

Li Ji took a long breath, threw the scroll of bamboo slips he had read on to the table in front of him, and then said to Qi Zhou, who had also stayed upright with him all night.

"Qi Zheng, I would like to ask for your assistance and companionship. I won't look at the remaining bamboo slips for now."

Qi Zhou, whose eyes were red and bloodshot, shook his head in a daze, and after a few breaths, he hurriedly answered.

"Mr. Zikun helped me in Youzhou out of his kindness, and he read the information all night long to find ways to defeat the enemy. Compared with Mr. Zikun, I can only try my best to provide some assistance to the best of my ability."

After a brief contact, Li Ji knew that Qi Zhou was an upright and honest person, and he was not as humble as Qi Zhou.

Immediately, Li Ji stood up and walked to Zhang Fei, who was sleeping soundly with his eyes open in the corner of the room, patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder and said.

"Yide, Yide, wake up..."

Zhang Fei's originally dull pupils quickly condensed, he stood up suddenly, and spoke subconsciously. "Mr. Zikun, I didn't fall asleep just now... but there are enemies?"

Li Ji didn't know for a while whether Zhang Fei's unique skill of sleeping with his eyes open was acquired under such circumstances.

But Zhang Fei stayed bored all night and it was strange that he couldn't fall asleep.

"There are no enemies."

After a pause, Li Ji rubbed his temples, which were swollen after staying up all night, and then whispered into Zhang Fei's ear.

"Yide, please send someone back to the port and ask Brother Bogui to come to Jixian as soon as possible to discuss important matters."

"No problem, I'll cover it." Zhang Fei responded with a loud voice.

"In addition, Ji needs to go back to his room to rest for a while. Yide should not make any noise in the house and keep his voice down."

This is what Li Ji wants to tell Zhang Fei the most. Otherwise, with Zhang Fei's voice like thunder, there is no need to think about the quality of sleep.

Immediately, Li Ji said goodbye to Qi Zhou and asked Qi Zhou to go back and tell Liu Yu that he would visit Liu Yu tonight to discuss Wuhuan. Li Ji found a room at random and slept with his clothes on, falling into a deep sleep.

This sleep lasted a whole day.

After Li Ji woke up leisurely, the original fatigue had completely dissipated, and his whole body returned to that refreshing state again.

Later, after Li Ji took a shower and changed clothes, he took Zhang Fei to Liu Yu's mansion for an appointment.

After learning that Li Ji would visit tonight, Liu Yu naturally set aside time for Li Ji early, pushed aside some of the heavy military and political tasks, and reserved enough time for Li Ji to wait for Li Ji in the palace. visit.

When Li Ji arrived at the door of Liu Yu's mansion, Liu Yu actually went out to greet him in person again, which was a great honor to Li Ji. Liu Yu even prepared a grand banquet and a number of songs and dances for Li Ji.

It's just that Li Ji came here to discuss important matters, not to eat, drink and have fun.

Therefore, Li Ji had to face Liu Yu. "Liu Shijun, business is more important. How about we find a quiet place to discuss the matter of defeating the thief first?"

Liu Yu was startled for a moment, and then he spoke in surprise.

"Could it be that in just one day, Mr. Zikun already thought of a way to defeat the enemy?"

Liu Yu had certainly heard from Qi Zhou that Li Ji had spent the whole night reading documents.

However, Liu Yu originally thought that Li Ji would need to ask for more details and make other requests when he visited tonight.

Therefore, what Liu Yu wanted to do was to receive Li Ji happily, so he held a big banquet.

Immediately, Liu Yu reacted, and took Li Ji deeper into the house, regardless of the officials or singers who were accompanying him at the banquet, and led Li Ji directly into the study.

Immediately, Liu Yu invited Li Ji to sit down and asked quickly. "Mr. Zikun, does he have a way to solve the crisis in Youzhou?"

"It can't be called a method, but I have some ideas."

Li Ji responded calmly with his eyes showing.

Liu Yu quickly replied. "Mr. Zikun, please speak, I am all ears."

Li Ji spoke calmly.

"Liu Shijun, since the 49th year of the founding of Wuhuan (AD ), after Hao Dan, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, and other people surrendered to the Han Dynasty, a large number of Wuhuan people moved into the vassal states of eastern Liaoning, western Liaoning, and You Beiping, Yanmen, Taiyuan and other ten counties..."

"It's just that the Wuhuan people are really capricious. After the three emperors of Han Ming, Han Zhang, and Han He recuperated, the Wuhuan people living in the Han Dynasty still maintained contact with the Wuhuan tribe on the grassland, and among the Han and Han Dynasties, The Xiongnu and Xianbei fought against each other repeatedly. "

Liu Yu, who is a Youzhou shepherd, naturally knows this very well.

In a sense, a considerable part of Wuhuan has moved into the border areas of Bingzhou and Youzhou for more than a hundred years, but Wuhuan has not been transformed into a household dog of the Han Dynasty as initially expected.

On the contrary, after recuperating under the protection of the Han Dynasty, the Wuhuan in the Han Dynasty nominally submitted to the Han, and the Wuhuan outside the Great Wall nominally submitted to the Xianbei and Xiongnu.

But in fact, Wuhuan was like a mercenary, jumping repeatedly among the Han, Xiongnu, and Xianbei to seek profits and strengthen himself.

Even when the Xiqiang rebellion just broke out, the imperial court summoned 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry through interest exchange to prepare to resist the Xiqiang.

However, the three thousand Wuhuan cavalry were not satisfied with the benefits given to them by the Han Dynasty. They turned into birds and beasts and dispersed before they left Youzhou.

"That's right, Mr. Zikun has learned so much about Wuhuan in just one night. It's really impressive..."

Liu Yu nodded, praised him, and then continued.

"In my opinion, if Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju can instigate Wuhuan into rebellion this time, they must also bring a lot of benefits to Wuhuan. As long as we find a way to move Wuhuan with affection, understand him with reason, and then supplement it with With all the inducements, Wu Huan must be able to make a wise choice between Da Han and Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju."

"No, Mr. Liu, Ji's thoughts are partly the same as yours, but they are exactly the opposite." Li Ji said.

"Huh? Where are the similarities? And where are the opposites?" Liu Yu asked.

"Negotiation is a good way to resolve the Wuhuan Rebellion, but the prerequisite is not to be moved by emotion or reason..."

After a pause, Li Ji continued in a deep voice.

"The Wuhuan clan is capricious and focuses on profit. If you want to make them retreat voluntarily, you must attack them head-on, make them fearful, and then lure them with some benefits to make them retreat."
