Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Just when Li Ji was speechless, Sima Yi took advantage of the fact that Liu Bei and Li Ji did not seem to speak, rode up on a pony and greeted them.

"Uncle Liu, teacher."

Since Zhuge Liang and other disciples had neither officially left their posts nor reached adulthood, they naturally had not yet formally become Liu Bei's lords.

Therefore, even though Zhuge Liang and others became members of the military advisory group, and even Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu had already officially begun to assist Li Ji in handling various trivial military affairs.

But in essence, they were just Li Ji's disciples, not Liu Bei's subjects.

Li Ji straightened his expression and asked.

"What's the matter, Yi'er?"

"Teacher, I have a plan but I don't know if it will work, so I would like to ask you for advice." Sima Yi said with his head lowered.

Li Ji's heart moved slightly, and he was a little surprised.

After all, Sima Yi is not usually such a proactive person.

"Yier has always been very smart and has unique insights into all military and political matters, but you can speak freely."

"is teacher……"

Sima Yi responded respectfully and said, "Teacher, our army has penetrated deep into the enemy's rear, which has cut off our food supply and caused a shortage of military expenses."

Li Ji did not respond and waited for Sima Yi's next words.

Immediately, Sima Yi's tone changed and said.

"But at the same time, our army is located behind Cao's army, close to the Cao's food supply route."

"Cao Cao's foothold in Donghai County is not stable yet. The only place around here that can be used to store grain is Tan County. So it is not difficult to find the grain route."

"We can even send a detachment to Tan County to capture it or besiege it, which will also cut off Cao's army's food supply."

"In this way, our army and Cao's army will both be cut off from their food supply. Cao's army will be caught in a dilemma of whether to attack our army from both sides or return to Tan County to protect the food supply."

Hearing this, Li Ji couldn't help but reveal a bit of praise in his eyes and said.

"Yier's strategy is very good. What do you think, my lord?"

Liu Bei also said with admiration on his face. "The saying goes that a good teacher produces good students, it is nothing more than this."

This plan may not be very brilliant, but it was rare because Li Ji proposed that the army go straight to the rear of Cao's army and continue northward, which was only a matter of an hour.

In such a short period of time, Sima Yi, who was still a teenager, came up with a way to directly attack the vital points of Cao's army, which shows his flexible thinking.

Li Ji said after thinking it over for a while.

"My lord, Ji also thinks this is a good plan. Why don't we pick a good general to lead the army to Tan County and cut off Cao's army's food supply?"

"Zikun, who do you think should be the general?" Liu Bei asked.

"Wei Yan is known for his bravery and quick wit. We should use this good general to go deep behind enemy lines and besiege Tan County. Maybe we can have a surprise," Li Ji replied.

Liu Bei thought for a while and said.

"The spies reported that the person stationed in Tan County is Xun Wenruo, who is famous for his talent and wisdom. Cao Cao has repeatedly claimed that Xun Wenruo's ability is not inferior to Zikun. Perhaps we need to send a counselor to accompany him, otherwise Wei Yan might fall into Xun Wenruo's trap."

Li Ji nodded slightly, also aware of this.

And precisely because Xun Yu was left by Cao Cao in Tan County to coordinate the rear, Li Ji was certain that the military rations collected by Cao's army after entering Xuzhou were most likely stored in Tan County.

If Tan County is lost, Cao's army will be defeated.

However, Xun Yu was certainly not someone who could be easily dealt with, and Tan County would not be easily captured.

If Wei Yan led the army to attack Tan County alone, he might be manipulated by Xun Yu. Listening to the discussion between Liu Bei and Li Ji, Sima Yi lowered his head slightly and maintained a calm and submissive expression, but his heart could not help but beat faster.

Sima Yi took the initiative to propose this plan. His purpose was naturally to escape.

Plague is something that Sima Yi, who values ​​his life, is really afraid of.

But running away also requires skills and methods. If you just run away, your head will not be chopped off and hung on the door, but Li Ji will probably break your legs.

So Sima Yi racked his brains and finally came up with this idea.

There were not many talented people available in Liu Bei's army now, and Sima Yi had already secretly understood the abilities and personalities of each general one by one, and understood that Li Ji was very likely to choose Wei Yan as the general.

Since Zhou Yu would not lower his status to serve as Wei Yan's military advisor, Li Ji had few options left.

Sima Yi, who proposed this strategy, was undoubtedly the most appropriate candidate.

Li Ji thought so too, and subconsciously prepared to recommend Sima Yi as a military advisor to go to Tan County with Wei Yan.

Although Sima Yi was young and not as capable as Xun Yu, he was probably more than capable of reminding Wei Yan to avoid falling into the trap.

Just as Li Ji was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something...

Perhaps from Sima Yi's perspective, he did not have much contact with Li Ji in private, and on the surface he always maintained the image of a normal disciple.

But doesn’t Li Ji know what kind of character Sima Yi is in secret?
Sima Yi and Jia Xu have a lot in common, and the only obvious difference between them is their ambition.

"Sima Yi, you are quite smart. I'm afraid you guessed that something was wrong ahead and wanted to run away when you saw that the situation was not good?"

Li Ji laughed to himself and turned to Liu Bei and said, "I recommend talents regardless of their relationship. I have a student who is young but has many ingenious plans and strategies. He can be used."

"Oh? Zikun, you can go ahead and tell me."

Liu Bei answered, and the young version of Sima Yi couldn't help but raise his eyes, with a flash of excitement.

"Exactly..."

Li Ji deliberately lengthened his voice, glanced at Sima Yi out of the corner of his eye, and then continued.

"Pang Tong of Xiangyang."

? ? ! !
Sima Yi.

This...isn't this right?
Sima Yi's face suddenly fell.

As for the disciples selected by Li Ji, Liu Bei actually attached great importance to and paid attention to them.

Although Pang Tong was ugly, he was beautiful inside. He showed extraordinary talent at a young age and was highly valued by Liu Bei.

Faced with Li Ji's recommendation, Liu Bei did not hesitate too much and answered.

"Since Zikun is so confident, then let Wei Yan be the general and Pang Tong be the military advisor, and lead 10,000 troops to Tan County to cut off Cao's army's food supply."

Immediately, when Liu Bei ordered his men to call Wei Yan and Pang Tong over, Li Ji turned and spoke to Sima Yi.

"Yier's proposal is a brilliant one, and I'll give it to you for your contribution... Eh? Yier looks like this, is there something wrong?"

After all, the young version of Sima Yi was not so expressionless as to show his emotions, so he answered with a stutter.

"Teacher, I do feel a little uncomfortable, maybe I need to..."

Without waiting for Sima Yi to finish speaking, Li Ji stepped forward and put his hand on Sima Yi's forehead. After confirming that Sima Yi did not have a high fever, he spoke with concern.

"Don't worry, Yi'er. I will call the military doctor here. He is a disciple of Zhang Zhongjing and has great medical skills. Let him examine Yi'er." (End of this chapter)
