Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

When Guo Jia entered the side hall, he first bowed and saluted Liu Bei, who had no problem with his expression and demeanor. Then he glanced around and noticed the desk table with dozens of sections cut off.

"Is there anything important about being a filial piety?" Liu Bei asked.

Guo Jia did not answer Liu Bei directly. Instead, he pointed his finger in the direction of the broken wood and said.

"How could a table in the side hall be chopped into such a shape?"

Liu Bei felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

As for the public, Liu Bei's request for himself has always been to "keep his emotions and anger in his face, his likes and dislikes in words, and his joy and sorrow not overflowing on his face."

Now that Guo Jia, who was not usually close to him, bumped into this scene, how could Liu Bei not feel ashamed and embarrassed.

When Xiahou Bo saw this, he immediately admitted.

"My lord, this is Bo's fault. Previously, a wild dog escaped into the side hall from nowhere and jumped back and forth on the lord's desk. Bo was so angry that he drew his sword and slashed repeatedly, but he accidentally killed it. The desk was also chopped into this shape.”

"It seems that the wild dog disgusted Ji Chang." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Especially hateful..."

Seeing that Xiahou Bo was still trying to cover up for himself, Liu Bei waved his hand and said.

"Fengxiao is not an outsider. He is regarded as a disciple by Zikun like a family member. There is nothing for Bei to hide. Shicai is the result of the anger in Bei's heart that cannot be calmed down, so he drew his sword to vent his anger."

Although Liu Bei didn't like Guo Jia's temperament at first, as Li Ji accepted Guo Jia as a confidant, he also let Guo Jia do a lot of things secretly, and even served as the director of the Zongheng Department.

After long-term contact with Guo Jia, Liu Bei discovered that Guo Jia's abilities were indeed quite extraordinary. He might be slightly lacking in government affairs, but he had strengths in military art, strategy, eloquence, etc.

Furthermore, before leaving Wu Commandery, Li Ji secretly said to Liu Bei: If there is any undecided matter, you can ask Guo Fengxiao.

Therefore, it seems that Guo Jia is just a street kid in Wu County and the government office, wandering around with nothing to do every day, but in fact, Guo Jia can enter and exit many dangerous and key places at any time, and even meets Liu Bei from time to time. .

"My lord is sincere, and I am here just to relieve my lord's worries." Guo Jia said with a somewhat complacent smile.

Liu Bei immediately looked shocked and asked.

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

"This edict from the emperor appears to be for your husband to be promoted to a higher position, but in reality it is not only to sow discord between the lord and your husband, but also to persecute your husband and have him flee to Liaodong. The intention is sinister."

Guo Jia first shook his head slightly and expressed his judgment. Liu Bei couldn't help but look at Guo Jia with a more expectant expression, listening to his opinions.

However, Guo Jia's words suddenly changed and he gave up.

"Therefore, in my opinion, my lord only needs to... wait."

"Wait?" Liu Bei asked in confusion.

"That's right, my lord, you don't need to do anything, and don't do any unnecessary things..."

When Guo Jia said this, his expression condensed and he said.

"Especially things like intercepting angels midway, forging that the edict has not been received, etc., cannot be done under any circumstances. Zhao Liangyi of the Xiaohuang Sect, looking down, is actually an abandoned soldier sent by the Shichangshi. Regarding the affairs of Wu County It is unknown, and it is intended to anger the lord, especially if it is unknown."

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately scolded him. "Bold, then Zhao Liang is an envoy of the emperor, holding a scepter, and a minister of the Han Dynasty, how can he attack the angel?"

In this regard, Guo Jia Shun admitted his mistake, but he understood that Liu Bei was usually gentle, but his temper was far stronger than ordinary people. It was not impossible for him to do something unwise in anger.

Therefore, after Guo Jia watched Liu Bei leave in a hurry with an unkind expression, he quickly followed him to avoid making any big mistake while his husband was away in Wu County.

While Liu Bei was scolding him, he didn't dare to admit that he had a little bit of emotion when he heard Guo Jia say "kill the angel".

Luoyang is extremely far away from Wu County, and we need to cross the Yangtze River. It is normal for something to happen on the way.

At that time, a large number of river thieves will appear again and wreak havoc on the Yangtze River, blocking the flow between the north and the south. Is this normal?

However, this idea was only for a moment, and it was rejected by Liu Bei. How is this behavior different from the current Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yan who has unclear intentions?
Immediately, after Liu Bei calmed down slightly, he asked with great confusion.

"What's the use of 'waiting' as Fengxiao said? Could it be that if you don't do anything, Your Majesty will withdraw his holy will?"

"Of course not."

Guo Jia paused for a moment before continuing. "It's just that the gentleman may have anticipated this matter, so he left Youzhou in a hurry and headed overseas to Yingzhou."

"There are thousands of hectares of waves between the sea and the outside. Even if my lord intends to tell you the holy meaning in the edict, how can you tell him?"

"Naturally, we can only wait until Sir returns from overseas, Yingzhou, but please don't forget the certain time that Sir has inferred."

Suddenly, Liu Bei suddenly woke up.

Li Ji once deduced that the emperor would die in the beginning of the sixth year of Zhongping today, but now it is nearly the fifth year of Zhongping, and Li Ji is still overseas on his way to Yingzhou. As long as Li Ji stays in Yingzhou for about a year and then returns to Wu County, the emperor will die by then, and the Han Dynasty will also enter the era of great chaos that Li Ji said.

By then, how will the court have the energy to pursue Li Ji's issue?

Liu Bei pondered for a long time, let out a long sigh, and completely gave up the efforts he had been secretly trying in the past, saying.

"It seems that this is all we can do now."

However, this also made Liu Bei's heart drop completely. He picked up the edict that had been put aside and read it. A bit of joy began to show on his face and he said.

"In this way, those castrated dogs deliberately wanted to harm Zikun. They did not want to persecute Zikun in the face of the general trend of the world and failed to go to Liaodong. Instead, they gave Zikun the title of 'Marquis of Zhaoting', which is very good."

"That's right, from now on, sir, you are also a powerful Han lord." Guo Jia also responded.

Although the "Marquis of Zhaoting" is just a title that is slightly better than the Marquis of Guannei, and is the lowest rank among the princes, today is far from the era when the titles were as bad as in the troubled times in the future.

On the contrary, the current title of the big man is a symbol of glory in the true sense.

It should be noted that before Li Ji, the three people who were knighted for their merits, namely Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion, can imagine the gold content in them.

(PS: It is a historical fact that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were knighted during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. In the article, Lu Zhi’s knighthood was due to the influence of butterfly wings.)
"The Marquis of Zhaoting, the Marquis of Zhaoting, the Marquis of Zhaoting..."

The more Liu Bei read this title, the more he inexplicably liked it, and he immediately said it.

"This is a great thing for Zikun. We must send someone to tell Zikun the news as soon as possible. In addition, Ji Chang also quickly arranges for people to help Zikun change the plaque of the mansion."

……

At this moment, Li Ji, who was thousands of miles away, had no idea what was happening in Wu County.

However, Li Ji had indeed expected this.

The current situation in Luoyang is complicated. There is an invasion by the Western Qiang outside, there are factional disputes among the eunuchs and relatives inside, and the emperor is greedy for pleasure and beauty.

Under such circumstances, the gentlemanly Liu Yu truthfully presented the battle report to the court, which can be expected to cause a series of disturbances.

However, Li Ji's contribution cannot be erased. The ten permanent ministers disliked Li Ji greatly, and the Yuan family, whose influence in the court was growing day by day, also targeted Liu Bei.

Li Ji is almost certain that under the multi-party competition, "winning" will be the final result.

Therefore, Li Ji, who realized this, ignored Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan's pleas to stay and led his army to leave Youzhou early in order to have no chance to receive the emperor's edict.

As long as Li Ji legitimately hides overseas and chooses not to accept the attack, even if there is some trick, it will not be able to do anything to Li Ji.

"Praise", you can praise it in any way. As long as Li Ji doesn't stretch his neck, how can he kill Li Ji?

Perhaps the only slight deviation in Li Ji's prediction was that he thought the imperial court would send an angel to Youzhou to look for him, but instead he sent an angel directly to Wu County.

However, Li Ji now focuses more on Yingzhou and is eager to quickly explore Yingzhou.

There was not enough time in the first place, but he spent about four months doing various things in Youzhou, which made Li Ji feel that time was even more pressing.

As the fleet set sail again in Yingzhou, relying on Sun Ce's command, it crossed the peninsula without any danger, and Yingzhou could be seen from a distance.

In his previous life, Li Ji had no chance to set foot in Yingzhou because he did not want to go abroad;

I don't want to see Yingzhou in this life in such a dramatic way.

In the past four months, Jia Xu had reported the situation once in a letter, but the content expressed in it was that everything was going well, but the situation was complicated and it was difficult to explain in detail on paper. He was waiting for Li Ji to lead his army to Ying. We will discuss this in detail later.

At that time, Li Ji made an agreement with Jia Xu that he would come to a specific sea area and asked Jia Xu to send someone to respond.

Now, as he arrived at a specific sea area around Yingzhou, Li Ji, who was standing on the deck, looked around at the sea, and suddenly discovered that the "Kuiji" was appearing on the back of a desert island, slowly heading towards Li Ji's direction.

After both parties further confirmed their identities through flags, and Li Ji looked at the hull of the "Kuiji" from a distance and found no traces, he let the "Kuiji" approach the fleet.

The next moment, a figure nimbly climbed onto the mast of the "Kuiji", waved in the direction of Li Ji from a distance, and shouted excitedly.

"Mr. Zikun, hahahaha, you are finally here..."

Seeing Gan Ning's ungraceful appearance, Li Ji felt completely relieved.

Gan Ning could come to greet him in person, so it was basically certain that there would be no problems with Jia Xu's troops who went to Yingzhou first.

Then, Li Ji waved his hand and signaled Sun Ce to let the "Kuiji" approach his flagship "Yingzhou".

After the two ships approached a certain distance, Gan Ning directly grabbed a rope from the mast and swung over without waiting to put down the planks, and then landed steadily on the deck of the "Yingzhou". (End of chapter)
