Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

"Ugh……"

Liu Yu sighed, but for a moment he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

During this period of contact with Li Ji, Liu Yu knew that Li Ji was neither greedy for beauty nor a person whose ambition could be shaken by wealth and pleasure.

During Li Ji's stay in Jicheng, Liu Yu also sent people with money and beautiful maids from time to time, not to win over Li Ji, but to be grateful to Li Ji for his righteousness and help to resist Wuhuan, so he wanted to satisfy some of Li Ji's daily needs.

However, Li Ji did not take anything from Liu Yu's private gifts, and gave them all in the name of the government to the people who had abandoned their homes and temporarily lived in Jicheng because of the strong walls and clearing out the wilderness.

As a beautiful maid, Li Ji also upheld etiquette and never untied Luo Shang.

In his spare time, Li Ji's only hobby seemed to be reading through various documents and classics stored in Youzhou. Other than that, he played chess with Liu Yu.

It was precisely because Liu Yu admired and recognized Li Ji's benevolence, virtue and loyalty that he praised the name of "Guo Shi" in public at the city gate when his heart was agitated.

But precisely because he understood the "benevolence, virtue, loyalty and righteousness" that Li Ji upheld in his heart, even though Liu Yu was extremely reluctant to let go of Li Ji, he could not say anything to persuade Li Ji to stay.

Liu Yu was even more unwilling to seduce Li Ji with power and wealth, thus insulting this rare acquaintance.

But what Liu Yu didn't know was that the free ones were often the most expensive.

It is true that Li Ji is not greedy for money, and it is also true that he despises those beautiful maids, but Li Ji is by no means a saint who has no desires or desires.

On the contrary, during this period of time, with Liu Yu's permission, Li Ji had read through a large number of documents and classics in Youzhou Prefecture.

If before, Li Ji only knew the topography of Zhuo County in Youzhou, then at this time Li Ji knew the topography of the entire Youzhou, officials, racecourses and other information recorded on paper. .

In terms of familiarity with Youzhou, not to mention Liu Yu, even Gongsun Zan is far behind Li Ji at this moment.

Otherwise, how could Li Ji, based on the current situation in Youzhou, write a "Strategy to Defeat Wuhuan" that impressed Liu Yu so much that Youzhou could gradually enslave Wuhuan, the broken-backed dog? Put on the collar.

At the same time, in a sense, Li Ji already knew the entire Youzhou very well.

If he wanted to take Youzhou by force, Li Ji knew of dozens of places along the coast of Youzhou where a large number of troops could land.

It can be said that even if Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan are enemies of Liu Bei in the future, as long as Li Ji is given 100,000 troops, Li Ji can personally ask Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan whether they eat beef in less than three days.

It's a pity that Liu Yu looked at Li Ji with an elegant look on his face and secretly sighed with regret before speaking slowly.

"Since Zikun has made up his mind, I won't say any more..."

After a pause, Liu Yufang continued.

"In addition, Zikun plans to go to Yingzhou, and it is expected that he will also need to find a good place to store food in Youzhou, and I have promised before that a place can be given to Zikun to garrison and store food. Zikun doesn't know Already have your favorite place?”

Li Ji already had a draft in mind, but on the surface he still pretended to ponder for a moment before speaking. "Ji once heard that there is a natural port on the southeast coast of Quanzhou County, Yuyang County (near today's Tianjin). I wonder if it can be built as a port?"

In this regard, Liu Yu did not explore the surrounding terrain of Quanzhou County in detail, and spoke with a wave of his hand.

"In this case, how about Zikun writing a handwritten letter back to Xuande and asking Xuande to recommend a talented person to serve as the county magistrate in Quanzhou County, and I will also mobilize laborers to build the required port for Zikun. How about it?"

Li Ji was very happy when he heard this.

The previous trade between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan was actually all conducted privately.

This greatly limited the scale of trade. Moreover, the cattle, sheep, war horses, etc. that Gongsun Zan could provide gradually became unable to meet Wu Jun's needs.

Especially as troubled times are approaching, Liu Bei has begun to gain momentum to control the entire Yangzhou.

By then, whether it is war horses or cattle, the more the better for the Liu Bei Group.

Therefore, Li Ji had long envisioned turning this trade from darkness to light, but he struggled to find the right opportunity.

But now Liu Yu's intention is nothing more than to hand over the entire Quanzhou to Li Ji's control to avoid Li Ji's garrison along the coast of Quanzhou, which would attract criticism.

In this way, with Liu Yu's support and acquiescence, Li Ji could open a trade market in Quanzhou County.

With the convenience of sea-ship trade being the only one in the Han Dynasty in Wu County, the benefits are unimaginable, and it can also solve the shortage of cattle, war horses and other livestock in Jiangdong to the greatest extent. Therefore, Li Ji took advantage of the situation and proposed to Liu Yu that he was going to conduct some small trade in Quanzhou, buy more cattle and return them to Wu County to provide for the refugees to reclaim wasteland, and also buy more war horses and return to Wu County to train some cavalry to attack the bandit mountains. thief.

Regarding these small requests in Liu Yu's eyes, Liu Yu naturally would not brush off Li Ji, his old friend, and with a wave of his hand, he also offered to give Wu Jun three thousand as a gift after the next batch of horses in the racecourse were trained. A war horse.

Hearing this, even with Li Ji's current cultivation, he could barely suppress the curve of his mouth.

'Liu Yan of Yizhou in the west gave my lord grain, and Liu Yu of Youzhou in the east gave my lord war horses. The Liu family were really kind to my lord Liu Bei. When my lord Liu Bei conquers the world, Gideon will advise my lord Liu Bei. Properly arrange for relatives. '

Afterwards, Li Ji answered some of his doubts about Liu Yu's "strategy to determine Wuhuan" and discussed it in a quiet room for an hour before Li Ji said goodbye and left.

However, even though Liu Yu had been informed of his intention to lead his army to leave, the war had just ended, and it would take a long time just to rest and recuperate the soldiers and treat the wounded.

Moreover, it is true that Youzhou's next policy is to "conquer the enemy without fighting", but in order to avoid accidents, the troops led by Li Ji need to be temporarily stationed in Jicheng to avoid any accidents.

In addition, Li Ji also needed to make overall arrangements for the establishment of a real seaport near Quanzhou County.

Different from the previous temporary port that he secretly traded with Gongsun Zan, Li Ji attached great importance to this new port. He not only regarded it as a place to station troops and store grain, but also planned to build it into the entire Youzhou and even the North. trade center.

Therefore, even though the construction of this seaport had just begun, Li Ji gave this seaport the name "Tinmen".

However, perhaps Liu Yu had not made any achievements in the art of war, but he was an experienced person in politics and diplomacy, so after he had the "Strategy to Ding Wuhuan" written by Li Ji.

In less than a month, Liu Yu used Qiu Liju's head to ask Tadun to take the initiative to deliver the heads of Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun and other traitors to foreigners.

The originally occupied Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, and Liaoxi County all returned to Youzhou...

During this period, the results of the Youzhou War also spread throughout the Han Dynasty and outside.

In addition to Liu Yu, who was already famous for his virtues, Gongsun Zan, who traveled outside the Great Wall, gradually gained the reputation of "White Horse General".

On the contrary, Zhao Yun led two thousand white horse rebels to enter and exit three times among the 30,000 Wuhuan army. His achievements in breaking the formation and killing generals were so incredible that many people in the world did not believe it.

As for Li Ji, who was already quite famous, he was named "Guoshi" by Liu Yu himself. On the contrary, he quickly became famous all over the country, gradually replacing the previous name of "Li Sanqian".

More importantly, the war started by the Xiqiang invasion of Sanfu Land has lasted for several years, which undoubtedly had a serious blow to the prestige of the Han Dynasty.

This great victory from the land of Youyan was undoubtedly what the big man needed to cheer him up.

Therefore, seeing that this great victory seemed to cause more and more turmoil among the Han Dynasty, Li Ji thought of certain problems and immediately accelerated his pace. Regardless of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan's attempts to stay, he led the army again at the end of September. The army left Youzhou and continued on the road to Yingzhou.

After experiencing the Battle of Youzhou, the loss of Wujun's 30,000 troops was not heavy, only more than 5,000 infantry were lost.

In contrast, Gongsun Zan gave Zhao Yun an extra white horse as a righteous servant.

Moreover, the white-horse Yi Cong originally led by Zhao Yun, with the help of Gongsun Zan during this period, re-selected elites from Youzhou to make up the number of two thousand.

Therefore, after about four months, Li Ji led the army to set sail again in Youzhou. The number of soldiers did not drop significantly, but the quality almost improved.

More importantly, not to mention the quality of the cavalry, Wujun's infantry experienced a series of battles to defend the city and attack the camp, and their elite level was far beyond what they had been in the past.

In the past, except for the soldiers originally commanded by Guan Yu in Fuchun Mountain, most of the soldiers were either drawn from the county soldiers, or were only slightly stronger than the county soldiers.

Judging from Li Ji's current evaluation standards, the current soldiers are generally divided into four grades: miscellaneous soldiers, county soldiers, elite soldiers, and strong soldiers.

Miscellaneous soldiers: Generally speaking, they are the Yellow Turban Army, the rebels, bandits and bandits, and the quality of the soldiers is not even suitable for formation;

County soldiers: slightly stronger than miscellaneous soldiers, able to follow various instructions to carry out basic formations, and have undergone certain training. They are also the most common and common soldier class in the entire Han Dynasty;
Elite: The five schools of the Northern Army led by Lu Zhi during the Yellow Turban Rebellion were typical elite soldiers, with significantly better military formation coordination and fighting skills than the county soldiers.

It was precisely relying on the elites of the five schools of the Northern Army that Lu Zhi had previously used weak attacks to force Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army to fight.

Strong soldiers: This was only after Li Ji personally saw and understood the "White Horse Yicon" led by Zhao Yun that he added such an additional level of soldiers.

Nowadays, the soldiers of Wu County who have experienced the Youzhou War can barely reach the level of elite soldiers, but compared with the Baima Yicong led by Zhao Yun, they are undoubtedly on two different levels.

It's not just the difference in the soldiers' personal fighting skills or military formation coordination, but more importantly, the gap in beliefs. (End of chapter)
