Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Finally, Li Ji lowered his eyes and asked back.

"And if we don't fight today, when Linyi continues to invade Jiaozhou and even plunders the Central Plains, won't our descendants have to conquer Linyi again?"

These words are truly powerful.

It can be said that the legitimacy of the Linyi Kingdom was completely deprived from the legal, righteous and political perspectives, and the Linyi Kingdom was completely defined as a country that the Han Dynasty must conquer.

Most of the people present had excited and flushed faces, and they further realized the necessity and importance of conquering the Linyi Kingdom.

It was not only to retrieve the grain, but more importantly to eliminate a scourge for the Han Dynasty and for future generations!

Sun Ce's blood boiled after hearing this. He wanted to pick up his weapon and rush to Linyi State to kill people in large numbers, so as to wash away the shame that Qu Lian had left on the Han Dynasty with blood.

"Teacher, Sun Ce, please be the vanguard!"

Sun Ce couldn't help but speak loudly.

"Are you going?" Li Ji confirmed.

"How can a man who is real fight for his country shrink from fighting?" Sun Ce answered without hesitation.

Li Ji smiled when he heard this and said, "That's good. Instead of holding a secular ceremony as a coming-of-age ceremony, why not use a war in a foreign country as a ceremony?"

These words were truly heroic, and made Sun Ce so excited that he got goose bumps all over his body.

"Please give me a courtesy name, so that when I ride my horse into the capital of Linyi, I will bathe in the blood of the thieves and their descendants, and tie my hair up and wear a crown."

At this moment, Sun Ce exuded an indescribable heroic spirit, which attracted everyone's attention.

Li Ji thought for a moment and said, "Bo is the eldest son, and Fu Yu is the military token. I hope you will hold the military power in the future to fight for the lord and the country, so you will be named 'Bo Fu'."

"Bo Fu?"

Sun Ce recited it to himself, then knelt down and saluted Li Ji, saying, "Thank you, Teacher, for taking my name."

Immediately, Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu beside him, pulled Zhou Yu down, and said, "Please ask Teacher Ye Yudi to choose a character as well."

Zhou Yu saw this and did not have any resistance. He followed suit and saluted. "Please grant me a courtesy name, sir."

Even though Zhou Yu was quite proud of himself, he also knew that it was undoubtedly an honor to be personally chosen by the world-famous Li Ji.

Li Ji pretended to be silent for a moment before answering, "Yu Jin is a beautiful jade. With Zhou Yu's talent, it will be no problem for him to be made a marquis or a prime minister in the future. How about using 'Gong Jin' as his courtesy name?"

"Thank you, Lord Guoshi."

Zhou Yu said gratefully.

Everyone, including Liu Bei, spoke up and simply congratulated Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Immediately, Liu Bei returned to the main topic and said.

"Zi Kun is right. It's not that we are unwilling to trade for grain. It's that Linyi has bullied the Han Dynasty too much. The only correct thing to do is to send troops to attack them."

"Just who do you think should be the commander, Zikun?"

After a pause, before Li Ji could speak, Liu Bei continued to add, "There are many things going on in Yangzhou right now, and we cannot leave Zikun to take care of it personally, so Zikun cannot be the commander."

……

Li Ji.

Liu Bei understood Li Ji. Compared with the busy and complicated governance, Li Ji was undoubtedly more interested in leading troops to destroy a country.

However, before Li Ji could open his mouth to make a suggestion, Liu Bei predicted Li Ji's thoughts and directly blocked this possibility.

Of course, Li Ji also knew that Yangzhou was just being settled and was in the middle of a reform period, so he really couldn't leave.

Hearing Liu Bei's question, without waiting for Li Ji to give an answer, Xu Sheng, Gan Ning and Jiang Qin once again asked for a fight, all hoping to lead troops to conquer the Linyi Kingdom.

"Gan Xingba, Jiang Gongyi, you have previously followed the state scholar to the expedition to Yingzhou. This time, I should lead the troops to conquer Linyi."

Xu Sheng, who was always calm, spoke with gritted teeth.

When Li Ji went on an expedition to Yingzhou, almost every general had an arrangement made, except Xu Sheng, who was arranged to stay in Wujun. This made Xu Sheng feel depressed for several years.

Not long ago, the so-called anti-Wu alliance attacked. Xu Sheng, who had been sharpening his sword for several years, thought he could show his strength. However, after the catapults threw a large number of kerosene bombs, those villains knelt down one after another to surrender.

This made Xu Sheng almost faint from anger. After years of sharpening his sword, he finally had a chance to unsheathe it, but before he could even chop down, the enemy fell to his knees.

In the end, Xu Sheng felt like his blade had yet to see blood.

It is true that Xu Sheng agrees with benevolent acts, but he does not want his sword to be a kind one.

However, Jiang Qin, who usually had a very good personal relationship with Xu Sheng, did not give in at all at this moment.

"That's wrong. How can we allow personal feelings to determine the fate of a country? I have been on overseas expeditions with the country's nobles and have extensive sailing experience, so I should be the one to lead the troops."

Gan Ning said in a hurry. "In terms of sailing experience, I, Gan Xingba, should be the best. Moreover, I have the Jinfan Bandits under my command. It will be easy for me to conquer Linyi. Please, my lord and the state marquis, allow me to go to the battle. If I fail, you can chop off my head."

"The Jinfan bandits may be brave, but are the warriors under my command inferior to them?" Xu Sheng was no longer as calm as usual and retorted bluntly.

Among the three naval generals, Xu Sheng is undoubtedly the best when it comes to commanding and training troops.

It is true that the Jinfan bandits are all extremely brave and fearless of death, but if they were to fight in a frontal battle, the navy led by Xu Sheng might not be inferior to them.

As for the candidate for the commander-in-chief to conquer the Linyi Kingdom, Li Ji's favorite was undoubtedly Xu Sheng, so most of the attention was paid to Xu Sheng.

Immediately, Li Ji asked Liu Bei, "My Lord, I have heard that Wen Xiang also has an important task in the 'Great Martial Arts Show', and needs to lead the elite troops in heavy armor to demonstrate it?"

Liu Bei nodded to indicate that it was correct.

After seeing in Luoyang that Gao Shun's "Entrapment Camp" with about a thousand heavily armored soldiers made it difficult for tens of thousands of cavalry to defeat them in a short period of time on the plain, Liu Bei, after returning to Wujun, also began to try to form heavy armored troops.

In an era before the emergence of "horseshoes", the relatively fragile hooves of ordinary war horses made it impossible to fight with heavy armor on.

This also led to the fact that there was no real heavy cavalry in this era, and made heavy armored soldiers seem to be the nemesis of cavalry.

Wujun undoubtedly had the capital to form a heavy armored force, and Liu Bei tried to assign this task to Xu Sheng, who was quite good at commanding and training troops, and required that at least a prototype be formed before the "grand military show".

When Xu Sheng heard this, he became very anxious.

Xu Sheng was naturally very proud to be entrusted by Liu Bei with the important task of forming a heavily armored force.

But compared with leading troops to conquer Linyi and retrieve grain and go down in history, Xu Sheng would choose to go on the expedition without hesitation.

Suddenly, Xu Sheng remembered someone and spoke quickly.

"My Lord, I recommend a talented person who can replace Sheng and form a heavy armored force!" (End of this chapter)
