Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 44 No, you came just in time

"Watch what I do?"

Li Ji's rhetorical question made Zhang Fei a little confused on the spot.

obviously it is……

"Maybe you still expect Zikun to intercede for you?" Liu Bei said with a frown.

Zhang Fei was anxious and instinctively wanted to explain. "Brother, I..."

However, before Zhang Fei could finish speaking, Li Ji interrupted.

"Brother Xuande, don't blame Yide. Although what Yide said was a bit vulgar, it was the only way to make Zhang Liang lose his mind and make Yide kill the four thieves in one fell swoop."

"Oh, Zikun, let's just get used to Yide, but this is really too polite and ruins the music." Liu Bei said with a slight frown.

"Brother Xuande, the so-called benevolence and righteousness does not mean forcing everyone to be benevolent and righteous, but using benevolence and righteousness to accommodate the shortcomings of everyone in the world, right?"

Li Ji patted Liu Bei's shoulder, and then walked toward the big tent with Liu Bei, while talking leisurely.

"Therefore, why does Brother Xuande demand Yide by his own standards? Even if Yide is ruined by etiquette and music, it is also because Yide is vulgar, but vulgarity is not punishable by death, and a gentleman knows how to act, not Seen in words, virtue is not necessarily a gentleman."

Liu Bei seemed to be lost in thought and murmured. "Zikun's opinions always point directly to the essence, which is thought-provoking and allows me to think about it."

Only Zhang Fei was left, blinking his big ring-shaped eyes, watching Liu Bei and Li Ji seem to walk into the tent.

???

Zhang Fei.

Wait, brother, what does Zikun mean by spoiling me? This is obviously what Zikun taught me...

And why do you suddenly feel like Mr. Zikun is playing a new training game with his elder brother?
  Why... why does it feel like my eldest brother is about to become someone else's?

I am your third brother!

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei reacted suddenly, moved his steps, and rushed towards the big tent, as if he was afraid that Li Ji would do something to the eldest brother in the big tent.

But when Zhang Fei rushed into the tent, he saw Liu Bei, who was chatting happily with Li Ji, looking at Zhang Fei with some confusion and asked.

"Yide, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Fei's ferocious face, which had scared Xu He to death just now, now said a little aggrievedly.

"Brother, do you blame me for coming in and disturbing you?"

Li Ji smiled and waved to Zhang Fei and said.

"No, Yide, you came just in time."

Under such obvious differences between Liu Bei and Li Ji, Zhang Fei felt that Li Ji was very good for some reason, so he walked straight towards Li Ji with big strides.

Li Ji handed a bamboo slip in his hand to Zhang Fei and said.

"Yide, this is the patrol route I arranged. You should arrange five hundred cavalry to block the east side of Julu City according to the above route to prevent Zhang Liang from sending spies to Guangzong's front line to inform Zhang Jiao of the situation in Julu City. "

"Besides that, Yi De also shouldn't forget to go to Julu City to provoke you every hour during the day."

Zhang Fei didn't know whether it was to fight against Liu Bei, but he saluted Li Ji solemnly and respectfully.

"Yes, Mr. Zikun."

Then, Zhang Fei strode towards the outside of the tent without even looking at Liu Bei.

However, when they saw Zhang Fei walking away, Liu Bei and Li Ji looked at each other and burst into tacit laughter.

"Zikun, how are you cooperating?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Immaculate," Leechi replied.

Li Ji obviously knew the instruction manuals of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei very well.

In addition, Liu Bei also deliberately cooperated with Li Ji, whether it was to repay Li Ji's maintenance or to prove his ability to Liu Bei. How could he still worry about Zhang Fei changing the battle plan without authorization.

"In this way, Yide, who has been holding his anger for a while, expects that even if Brother Xuande leaves the camp later, he doesn't have to worry about Yide slacking off or drinking secretly." Li Ji said.

Liu Bei waved his hand and said.

"Bei is not really worried about what Yide said. However, what Zikun said about the need for cavalry to intercept the spies sent by Julu City to Guangzong is a hidden danger."

"Even though there are not many Yellow Turban horses in Julu City, even if half of the cavalry is mobilized to intercept and search, they may not be able to stop them all."

"If the news of our presence in Julu City leaks to Zhang Jiao, things may change!"

At the end, Liu Bei couldn't help but show a bit of worry in his eyes.

In this regard, Li Ji said with a smile. "Brother Xuande, there is no need to worry. The reason why Yide sent cavalry to intercept is just to be more secure."

Immediately, Li Ji spread out the map and explained to Liu Bei. "The direction from Julu City to Guangzong, with the Zhang River running across the middle, is a must-pass point. The two nearest ferries that can accommodate large armies are Boluojin to the north and Quzhou to the south."

"Although a spy can cross the river by looking for a fisherman along the Zhangshui River, but even if no one stops him, the fastest time for the spies to reach Guangzong through the Zhangshui River is noon tomorrow."

"And even if Zhang Jiao receives the intelligence at noon tomorrow, becomes suspicious and immediately sends an army to cross the Zhang River to support Julu, or sends another spies to report back to Julu, the time has already completely run out."

Liu Bei made some calculations along the lines of what Li Ji said, and said with a heavy stone in his heart.

"Unexpectedly, Zikun had already taken these variables into consideration a long time ago. He was indeed overly worried..."

After a pause, Liu Bei couldn't help but asked strangely.

"If that's the case, then why did Zikun bother to let Yide send cavalry to intercept the spies?"

Li Ji said. "This is for General Bei Zhonglang to consider, to prevent the news of the escape of spies from affecting General Bei Zhonglang's plans."

Speaking of this, Li Ji's eyes that were shining with calmness and confidence could not help but reveal a trace of worry.

Although Li Ji had a very high opinion of Lu Zhi and expected that Lu Zhi would have a way to drive Guangzong Yellow Turban to Zhangshui, there were many variables in every move during the war.

And because Li Ji knew very little about the Han army led by Guangzong Yellow Turban and Lu Zhi, Li Ji couldn't start even if he wanted to use a "strategy simulator" to deduce.

And in order to avoid the leakage of the most important combat plan, neither Lu Zhi nor Li Ji informed the two sides of their specific combat plans.

On the one hand, the battle plan is not static, and it is detailed in writing. I am afraid that one or two bamboo slips will not be enough.

On the other hand, that is: "Words are used to vent failures, and things are accomplished through secrets."

Every time Xiahou Bo traveled across Julu County to deliver bamboo slips, it was not without risk.

Even if Xiahou Bo is loyal and fights to the end, he will not snitch for a living. But if the bamboo slips with specific plans hidden on Xiahou Bo's body are captured by the Yellow Turban, that will be a real big trouble.

This is why, apart from the risk required to reveal his identity for the first time, the words written on the bamboo slips Xiahou Bo brought each time were extremely simple, making others unable to understand their meaning.

Therefore, Li Ji just used the "strategy simulator" to successfully deduce the strategy of arriving at Boluojin in time on the fifth day of May without being pursued by the Yellow Turbans of Julu City along the way.

But for subsequent variables, we can only adapt to changes.

Li Ji deliberately ordered Zhang Fei to send cavalry to intercept the spies who would not have any impact on his plan, in order to reduce the variables after arriving at Boluojin.

Liu Bei, who fully reacted, said.

"I hope that Master Lu can also successfully drive the Yellow Turbans of Guangzong to Zhangshui, put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion in one fell swoop, and return the Han Dynasty to a clean sea and river."

Haiyanheqing?

That was just the beginning of the collapse of the Han Dynasty.

However, Li Ji did not correct Liu Bei, who was still young at the moment, and the sooner the Yellow Turbans, a large-scale uprising that had crazily robbed the people, was put down, the more people would be saved.

It should be noted that the sentence "White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles" came from 197.

In other words, that sentence describes the chaos from the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the time when Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor!

Although the "Yellow Turban Uprising" essentially failed completely in 184, what it left behind in the Han Dynasty was countless bandits and chaos that lasted for twenty years and spread across the eight states.

The number of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou was still as high as one million in 192. In the same year, even the remaining Yellow Turban Party Guan Hai dared to gather Yellow Turban thieves to besiege Beihai County; among them, the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army was not completely disbanded until 205.

Of course, today's Liu Bei obviously does not realize this, and even has the idea that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, the emperor has now lifted the shackles of the party, and in the future he will definitely stay away from his relatives and eunuchs, work diligently with the people, and restore the purity of Haiyan and Hehe.

……

at the same time.

In the government office in Julu City, the faces of the yellow turban generals headed by Zhang Liang were solemn and gloomy.

Not only was Zhang Fei's astonishing bravery enough to kill four people in a row, but more importantly, as he continued to send spies around to check, Zhang Liang and others also discovered camps stationed ten miles away on the north and south sides of Julu City.

Judging from the flags and smoke, more than 5,000 Han troops were stationed in the camps on both sides.

In the view of Zhang Liang and others, these two camps were undoubtedly set up like nails on the north and south sides to prevent the giant deer yellow scarf from escaping.

As for why there were no camps on the east and west sides, Zhang Liang understood it after thinking about it carefully.

To the west, there is not only the mountainous Changshan Kingdom, but also the Taihang Mountains that lie across the land and are difficult to cross; to the east, there is the Guangzong line. Even if you escape there, you will probably run into the real main force of the Han army.

For a time, the discovery of these two camps seemed to further confirm the news that Zhang Fei had accidentally leaked.

The Yellow Turbans on Guangzong's front line have been defeated, and while the main force of the Han army is wiping out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans of Guangzong, Lu Zhi first sends his disciples to lead the army to Julu City to prevent the Julu Yellow Turbans from escaping.

"Big brother, big brother..."

Zhang Liang, who was sitting in the main seat, looked up blankly and murmured.

As for the Yellow Turban generals below, they unknowingly formed a quarrel, arguing about how to deal with it next.
