Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

"Good guy..."

At this moment, Li Ji was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He could actually be so stubborn. Even Li Ji was somewhat impressed by him.

Li Ji had also experienced hunger and knew how horrible it felt.

But Pang Tong held on for more than two days and was able to resist the temptation of food. This was a great test for him both physically and mentally.

"This kid was born in the wrong era. If he were born in a special era, he would definitely be a staunch person who would not reveal any information even under torture."

This made Li Ji feel a little more appreciative of talent. A slightly sinister idea emerged in his mind, and then he shouted to Xu Chu beside him.

"Zhongkang, you said this strange man has been sleeping for more than two days. Could he be sleepwalking?"

"What is sleepwalking?" Xu Chu asked puzzledly.

"Sleepwalking is also known as 'soul separation syndrome', which means that a person is still in a dream, but the body will unconsciously do some inexplicable things." Li Ji explained loudly.

"Your Majesty is truly knowledgeable and talented. I have never heard of such a disease." Xu Chu replied.

Not to mention Xu Chu, even Pang Tong, who had never read a medical book, had never heard of "soul-separation syndrome".

However, this gave Pang Tong, who had been eager for a long time, an excuse to convince himself.

The next moment, Pang Tong suffered an attack of "soul-leaving syndrome" on the spot. He slowly stood up with his eyes closed, fumbled to pick up the bowl and drank the porridge. Then he stood up and slowly stretched his muscles before lying back down.

Li Ji, who witnessed the whole process, smiled but said nothing.

Instead, Xu Chu opened his eyes wide and spoke in disbelief. "My Lord, could this be the 'Soul Separation Syndrome'?"

“No, this is a case of stubbornness.”

Li Ji replied in a low voice, then got on the carriage with a smile on his face and went back home.

After Li Ji left again, Pang Tong, who had a bowl of hot porridge to temporarily fill his stomach, suddenly realized that he had been fooled.

It would be fine if I could hold out and not drink that bowl of porridge, but once I drink it, when will it end?

After lying in bed for more than two days, Pang Tong did nothing but think about life. Naturally, he also understood that Guo Shihou had already seen through the truth, so he wanted to temper his temper in this way.

But Pang Tong was a person who never gave up. He felt that since the great nobleman had invited him to Wu County, he must have overlooked his slightly lacking appearance and discovered his true nature of being talented both inside and out.

Therefore, Pang Tong bet that Guo Shihou would definitely not really let himself starve to death.

But how to solve the current situation?

Pang Tong closed his eyes and couldn't stop sighing, but if he got up in disgrace, Pang Tong would find it hard to accept.

"Forget it, let's get some sleep first..."

Feeling the fullness and warmth in his stomach, Pang Tong felt a little sleepy and fell asleep easily.

For the next few days, Pang Tong pretended to be asleep, and every day he would wake up in his sleep and drink the bowl of porridge that was delivered to him.

While he was free, Pang Tong learned the final result of the "grand martial arts show" from the casual conversations of the people around him.

Zhao Yun and Guan Yu were the best in horse archery and horse combat respectively.

However, during the competition, many brave warriors emerged. Among them was a man named Zhou Tai, who fought with Zhang Fei for hundreds of rounds without a clear winner, and was treated with courtesy by Uncle Liu.

It must be said that Pang Tong was stubborn, but lying down for so many days in a row gradually made Pang Tong accustomed to this kind of life of sleeping in the open air, and he was quite relaxed and contented. The most important thing was that it didn't rain during this period.

I can handle it!
Don’t ask, the answer is that I feel relaxed and comfortable.

Pang Tong kept lying there to reckon the days, probably for half a month. Suddenly, two soldiers came with a sedan chair and put Pang Tong on it.

Pang Tong was not worried about this at all, as he knew that the fact that he had been lying at the gate of the governor's mansion for half a month without being expelled must have been something that Guo Shihou had instructed.

On the contrary, Pang Tong felt that it must be his patience that finally convinced Guo Shihou, so Guo Shihou sent someone to invite him over.

Pang Tong was carried on a sedan chair all the way, which was shaking. Pang Tong estimated that he was carried at least ten miles before being put down.

The next moment, Pang Tong, with his eyes closed, heard the familiar voice of Guo Shihou.

"Well, the last person has arrived, so let's get started."

Soon, Pang Tong heard Li Ji begin to explain some battles during the late Qin Dynasty.

Using this as a guide, let a group of students discuss the factors that influence the direction of the battle and the various changes it has caused to the world situation.

Soon, as Li Ji opened the conversation, one voice after another sounded out, expressing different opinions based on their areas of expertise.

This quickly heated up the atmosphere.

This made Pang Tong, who was lying on the sedan chair pretending to be asleep, feel a little itchy, as if this was a national scholar teaching him.

Immediately, Pang Tong quietly opened his eyes a little and looked around.

There were more than twenty people sitting scattered in a room. The older ones seemed to be middle-aged, while the younger ones were even younger than Pang Tong.

Suddenly, Pang Tong spotted Li Ji sitting in the main seat out of the corner of his eye, and Li Ji also noticed Pang Tong's little movement, revealing a look that seemed to be a smile.

The next moment, Pang Tong closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.

However, Pang Tong's ears pricked up unconsciously, listening carefully and analyzing the remarks of each student.

At first, Pang Tong was a little skeptical, thinking that what these students said might have some insights, but they were far inferior to his own.

But as more and more students spoke, Pang Tong's brows unconsciously furrowed while he pretended to be asleep.

There were some views that the precocious Pang Tong had never considered before, which made Pang Tong subconsciously think deeply about them.

As Pang Tong continued to sort out the new ideas and felt that some of the speeches were quite worthwhile, this completely aroused Pang Tong's competitive spirit and made him subconsciously organize his thoughts in his mind.

Even though Pang Tong still didn't want to open his eyes, he was aroused by the desire to win.

When Pang Tong summarized his own views, he felt that the opinions he wanted to express were far superior to those of all the students just now.

Another childish but steady voice sounded. What surprised Pang Tong even more was that what this voice said was seven points similar to what Pang Tong had thought, and the remaining three points... were even better and went straight to the essence.

At this moment, Pang Tong could no longer hold back and opened his eyes. He turned his gaze and stared at the figure sitting in the front row.

Coincidentally, that figure also looked back and met Pang Tong's gaze. His eyes were clear and deep, and his young appearance was handsome.

"…The above is Liang's humble opinion. Please correct me if I am wrong."

Zhuge Liang looked away again and saluted towards Li Ji who was sitting in the main seat. (End of this chapter)
