Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

In both public and private matters, given the relationship between Li Ji and Jia Xu, Jia Xu still reminded him unintentionally.

"Zikun, it's best to shut up some people completely, so as to ensure that the truth is completely buried."

"That's not necessary."

Li Ji admired the snow, sipped tea, and spoke in a lazy tone.

"Isn't it also a fun thing to not say what I did, but to let future generations judge it, and to leave some unofficial history for future generations to laugh about?"

After hearing this, Jia Xu pondered for a moment, then raised his glass to Li Ji and said.

"Zi Kun's magnanimity is inferior to mine."

Of course, Jia Xu admired Li Ji's move, but that didn't mean he approved of it.

If it were Jia Xu, no matter how many times it was repeated.

Jia Xu's choice will still silence most people, and even let Luo Bin and others sink the entire ship to the bottom of the sea halfway back from Yamatai Kingdom, accusing Yamatai Kingdom of killing the Han envoys.

Of course, Jia Xu also knew that Li Ji's move might be called a weakness, but it was so reassuring.

There is no need to worry that at some point Li Ji will silence him simply because he knows too much. Otherwise, Jia Xu will really have to think about when it is more appropriate to run away with the bucket or retire to the countryside.

"This can't be called magnanimous. On the contrary, Wen He is here to sip tea and show off. I wonder if the current internal mobilization of troops in the Japanese country can be carried out?" Li Ji asked.

"In the Japanese country, all matters big and small are under control..."

After a pause, Jia Xu asked with some confusion.

"It's just that with the combat power of our army, we can directly conquer the Yamatai Kingdom. Why did Zikun ask the Japanese country to mobilize the entire country's troops? For this purpose, our army still needs a lot of food."

It's not that Jia Xu is arrogant and looks down on the Yamatai Kingdom, it's actually that in Jia Xu's opinion, the Japanese military strength is really unsightly, and gathering them together is just a waste of military rations.

Different from the military system of the Han Dynasty, the Japanese country was unable to support a large number of soldiers on weekdays, so the number of soldiers in the country that could really be called soldiers was only a few thousand.

The last time the leader of the Gonu Kingdom, Beimi Gongda, led the 3,000 Japanese soldiers to meet Li Ji at the Han army station, they were already the majority of the soldiers supported by the Gonu Kingdom.

In the war on Yingzhou, in addition to these soldiers, a large number of farmers will be called in as militia to participate in the battle.

It's just that even the real soldiers of Yingzhou are weak in combat power in Jia Xu's eyes, and the farmers who usually cultivate the fields are no different from pigs in Jia Xu's eyes.

If it were placed on the battlefield in the Central Plains, not to mention the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that even the Yellow Turban Army would not be able to match the combat power.

"Judging from the short-term gains and losses, it is the fastest way. Now I have summoned the Han army, marched directly to the royal capital, flattened the Yamatai Kingdom, and directly destroyed this small country."

"But in the long run, it will leave hidden dangers for controlling Yingzhou."

"The more ignorant a person is, the more they will believe everything they see in front of them. I don't want to see that after the unification of Yingzhou, there will be Japanese people who dare to rebel occasionally, so that the Han army can only swat flies and continue to fight. Running around and killing people in Yingzhou."

"I want a battle to make nearly a million Japanese people in Yingzhou become frightened when they hear the name of the Han people. I want to make the Japanese people regard the Han people as gods and dare not look straight at them..."

At the end of the sentence, Li Ji's tone was still calm, but there was a chill that penetrated his heart.

(PS: According to the historical records in "Wei Zhi·Japanese Biography", the population of Yamatai Kingdom is more than 500,000. Therefore, it is inferred that the population of Gonu Kingdom is also close to Yamatai Kingdom, so the real population of Yingzhou during this period is more than 100 million)
His disgust for the Japanese was almost impossible to conceal.

This made Jia Xu, who had never been very kind-hearted, couldn't help but secretly mourn for the Japanese for a while.

'Li Zikun is so kind-hearted, he must be able to give nearly a million Japanese people in Yingzhou a bright future...'

Taking advantage of the fact that Yingzhou had entered the winter snowfall period and it was not suitable to use troops, Li Ji continued to explore the location of various mineral veins, and on the other hand, he slowly mobilized all the young and strong militiamen in the Japanese country.

Moreover, Li Ji did not deliberately block the news, and even secretly let the news clearly leak to the senior officials of Yamatai.

As a large number of Japanese militiamen began to gather in earnest, the senior officials of the Yamatai Kingdom also realized that the Gounu Kingdom, which had been renamed the Japanese Kingdom, was actually planning to start a war with the Yamatai Kingdom.

Immediately, regardless of the fact that it was winter, Yamatai Kingdom quickly began to mobilize militiamen from Honshu Island.

Li Ji was well aware that the military systems of Japan and Yamatai were backward. In addition, Yingzhou was mountainous and the roads were difficult to navigate, so the efficiency of gathering troops was slow, so he gave Japan and Yamatai a full winter.

After a winter, Li Ji had already discovered the locations of most of the remembered gold and silver mines on Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island.

The Japanese and Yamatai kingdoms also mobilized almost all the young people as militiamen, and assembled two huge forces that even Jia Xu was stunned.

The Japanese country summoned nearly 100,000 young militiamen, and the Yamatai Kingdom, which occupied Honshu Island, summoned as many as 120,000 young militiamen.

Based on the estimated population of one million in Yingzhou that Jia Xu knew, under Yingzhou's bizarre military system, nearly a quarter of the population could be mobilized as military strength.

Excluding the old, weak, women and children among the Japanese, this is undoubtedly the majority of the young people in Yingzhou.

And with the arrival of spring, the war that had been brewing all winter also broke out. Li Ji directly mobilized all sea ships to transport troops for the Japanese country, and transported all the Japanese troops across the sea to the hinterland of Honshu Island not far from King Yamatai.

When the Yamatai Kingdom belatedly discovered that after two trips of sea ships, all 100,000 Japanese troops had landed in the hinterland of the Yamatai Kingdom, and then began to advance towards the capital of the King of Yamatai.

This prologue of "the beginning of the war is the decisive battle" was completely unexpected by everyone in the Yamatai Kingdom.

But what made Yamatai feel lucky was that the place where the Japanese troops landed was still a little far away from the royal capital.

These small distances were just enough for the Yamatai Kingdom to gather its troops concentrated in different areas around the royal capital to respond to the enemy.

Finally, under Li Ji's secret guidance, the two armies of Japan and Yamatai met on a flat terrain called "Sekihara" and a war broke out.

The conflict between the Yamatai Kingdom and the Japanese Kingdom has been going on for a long time. The two sides have been fighting for more than a hundred years. The hatred accumulated from generation to generation has made the battle between the two sides enter a fierce stage almost from the beginning.

However, this intense heat is probably limited to the views of "Japanese people".

Perhaps, the number of troops mobilized by the Japanese and Yamatai kingdoms with all the young people in the country reached more than 100,000, which is still considerable.

However, the quality and equipment of these militiamen were simply unsightly in the eyes of the Han people such as Li Ji, Jia Xu, Zhang Fei and others who were looking down from a distant hilltop.

Not only were the short and thin militiamen huddled together without formation, but the vast majority of the militiamen also held improvised wooden and bamboo spears.

"Tsk, tsk, why do I look so happy? Even though most of the women and children in the Yellow Turban Army still have a hoe in their hands, these Japanese are actually holding wooden spears and bamboo spears."

"And... when two armies are fighting, that is, poking and prodding from a distance, and throwing some bamboo arrows sporadically, can it really be lethal?"

"I think according to this method of fighting, these hundreds of thousands of people will have to fight for several days and nights before the winner can be determined? In the end, whichever side runs out of military rations will declare defeat..."

……

Hearing Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Sun Ce and other generals couldn't help but make fun of them, Li Ji had no intention of stopping them.

After all, compared with the war history that has developed in the Central Plains for more than a thousand years, the novices in Yingzhou will inevitably make many generals laugh.

In the original trajectory, Yingzhou also began to rapidly catch up with the Central Plains in terms of military strength when firearms were introduced during the Age of Discovery.

Finally, during the Ming Dynasty, Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Yingzhou even had the ambition to establish a great empire in Asia and conquer the peninsula first and then the Central Plains. After leading an army of more than 100,000 to occupy the peninsula, he fought with the Ming Dynasty and started a "Wanli Korean War" ".

However, the current mode of fighting in Yingzhou is indeed extremely frustrating.

The militiamen at the front of the two armies kept clashing with their bamboo and wooden spears. Only after the opponent's bamboo and wooden spears broke did they take the opportunity to try to poke forward.

This kind of enemy-killing efficiency... is shockingly low!
Originally, Li Ji thought that after the situation on the Japanese side fell into an unfavorable situation, he would take action to establish victory in one fell swoop.

But half an hour later, the actual number of dead militiamen from both sides of the war was no more than a hundred, and most of them were unlucky ones who were shot in the throat by bamboo arrows.

If the two sides are allowed to continue fighting like this, the situation will not change at all without a few days of dilly-dallying.

"That's all."

Li Ji sighed, he really didn't have the patience, so he spoke.

"Every general can proceed according to the previous arrangements."

"Yes!"

Immediately, all the generals who were already in a state of mental distress looked shocked and responded in unison.

Then, under the envious eyes of the young Sun Ce, all the generals took their orders and left, but he had to stay here to continue to command the two thousand personal guards.

Li Ji noticed Sun Ce's expression and asked. "What? Ce'er is unwilling?"

"Don't dare..."

After a pause, Sun Ce gritted his teeth and said. "It's just that I am also willing to avenge my teacher's shame on Yamatai."

"Good good."

Li Ji comforted Sun Ce and said. "Since Ce'er has this intention, how about after the enemy's army is defeated, Ce'er's horse will march across the capital of King Xamatai?"

When Sun Ce heard this, he was overjoyed and said.

"Thank you, teacher!"

At this time, a burst of passionate drumming sounded in the place called "Guanyuan", and the sound spread for several miles, causing the Japanese on both sides who were originally fighting to fall silent.

The next moment, the Han army's banner, guarded by the Han army's infantry advancing in formation, appeared in the eyes of countless Japanese from a distance. (End of chapter)
