Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 70 Opening up

within the room.

After Li Ji covered his face and fled, Liu Bei saluted Jia Xu with gratitude and respect.

"Mr. Wenhe, I'm really grateful that you saved Zikun in the past."

When Jia Xu saw this, he was shocked by Li Ji's position in Liu Bei's heart. He was also surprised that Liu Bei, the master of the people, would actually express gratitude to others in private for his subordinates.

Jia Xu asked himself that he had met a lot of people, but it was rare for someone to be so courteous to a virtuous person, which made Jia Xu feel at ease a lot.

It was impossible for Jia Xu not to have resentment in his heart after being tricked by Li Ji.

However, Jia Xu also had to admit that Li Ji's judgment was correct. Dong Zhuo might have the potential to rise, but once his character became powerful, he would not last long, and he might be hurt.

However, this is not the reason why Jia Xu will definitely join Liu Bei.

Even though he was temporarily tricked by Li Ji, Jia Xu seemed not to refuse to obey at all, but in fact, Jia Xu planned to join in first.

Then, if Liu Bei cannot last long, then just find an opportunity to break away from Liu Bei.

"Mr. Xuande, you're welcome."

Liu Bei was slightly startled by Jia Xu's honorific title.

This was the first time that Liu Bei was called "gong", which also made Liu Bei suddenly realize that his status had improved after being appointed as the county governor.

It's just that Liu Bei had no thoughts of complacency at all, but said with a gentle expression as usual.

"No, Zikun is more important to Bei than the humerus. Therefore, Wenhe saved Zikun's life when he was young, which is tantamount to saving Bei's life..."

After a pause, Liu Bei said with a sincere expression.

"Moreover, Zikun has no relatives around him, so he has an unkind request, so he wants to ask Wenhe to stay with Zikun. How about that?"

Hearing this, Jia Xu had several thoughts in his mind.

It seems that Liu Xuande has no idea what Li Ji is doing...

In this way, Li Ji used a trick to lure me here during the banquet, and it was really a sudden idea.

Moreover, Jia Xu did not lack appreciation for Liu Bei's concern for Li Ji.

This is enough to prove that Liu Bei is by no means one of those callous and unjust people, and there is no need to worry about being imprisoned and executed if he is not careful for a moment.

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears." Jia Xu responded.

"Very good!"

Liu Bei said with a smile, and then asked. "I don't know what Wen He is good at, so I can arrange a position for you."

"I previously served as a marginal auxiliary army under the command of Governor Dong, and I know a little bit about military affairs." Jia Xu replied.

"Military and political matters? It just so happens that Zikun is now handling almost all the trivial matters under my command, which is particularly hard. So I would like to ask Wenhe to help Zikun more in the future." Liu Bei said.

This actually made Jia Xu a little embarrassed. Jia Xu, who was cautious by nature, smelled some danger in it and said.

"Mr. Xuande, I have a very good relationship with Zikun. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to assist Zikun again? Please allow me to occasionally assist Mr. Xuande in military and political affairs."

When Liu Bei heard this, he thought for a moment and then understood what Jia Xu meant.

What Jia Xu was worried about was that all important military and political affairs under his command were handled by Li Ji alone. This was undoubtedly a dangerous situation. As the leader, Liu Bei was at risk of being sidelined.

If Jia Xu, who has been labeled Li Ji, joins in, it will undoubtedly make this situation of one family becoming more dominant, and it is very likely that he will be implicated.

However, Liu Bei naturally didn't know that Jia Xu wanted to protect himself, and thought that Jia Xu was worried that Li Ji would be suspected of forming a clique for personal gain and evading the emperor.

Immediately, Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Wen He can rest assured that Zikun is not a person who is greedy for power. What I am worried about is that I am afraid that Zikun will be too tired. Furthermore, I know Zikun and Zikun knows me. The masters and ministers know each other by heart, so why worry? also?"

Although Li Ji doesn't have to deal with many things on a daily basis, after experiencing Li Ji's fainting twice, Liu Bei couldn't help but worry about Li Ji's physical condition, and just wanted to lighten Li Ji's burden as much as possible to avoid Li Ji's physical condition. Kei was overworked again.

Immediately, Liu Bei did not continue to talk to Jia Xu, and then left the room anxiously to appease Li Ji.

But what Liu Bei didn't expect was that Li Ji didn't go far, and then sat in the pavilion outside the door.

Seeing Liu Bei's appearance, Li Ji quickly stood up and saluted.

"Lord..."

But before Li Ji could finish speaking, Liu Bei quickly stepped forward to support Li Ji. He looked at Li Ji with a concerned look on his face and his face was as calm as usual, and his heart felt cramped.

'Zikun, you must be pretending to be strong because you don't want me to worry. '

However, Liu Bei was obviously not very good at comforting people. After pulling Li Ji to sit down, he held back for a long time before speaking out.

"Alas, Zikun, I am sorry and accept the change."

? ?
  Li Ji.

Who died?
  Immediately, Li Ji just realized that Liu Bei was probably comforting himself.

"Thank you, Lord."

Li Ji quickly thanked him, and then realized that his expression seemed a little too calm, so he quickly patched it up and said.

"My lord, I am the only one left in the world who is still alive. How many are there? What's the use of my sorrow? Since they are all harmed by the chaotic world, I should be determined to change this world and restore a peaceful and prosperous world."

"Okay!" Liu Bei praised.

"What Zikun said is very true. As men, we should not be depressed and depressed, but should set high aspirations and implement them. If Zikun has this thought, he will feel relieved."

After a pause, Liu Bei reached out and patted Li Ji and said.

"Zikun, since there is only one person left in your branch of the family, it is not impossible. When it comes to revitalizing the name of the Li family in Longxi, I will definitely help you with all my strength."

"Yes, my lord."

Li Ji responded, and then took the opportunity to talk about the experience he had prepared in advance. He said that he had been studying with an old man in the mountains since he could remember, and he was named after the old man in the mountains.

After Li Ji entered the WTO, he studied in Zhuo County, and finally settled in a thatched cottage on the outskirts of Zhuo County to farm and study.

"Lord, Ji is a black householder in the household registration, and Ji didn't know his origins before. Therefore, it's not that Ji didn't tell the lord before, but he really doesn't know." Li Jidao.

"I see. However, it is inappropriate for Zikun to have no information in his household registration. Since Zikun is about to go to Wu County, how about adding Zikun to Wu County's household registration by then?"

Liu Bei suggested a little cautiously, fearing that Li Ji would lose his mind and prepare to run back to Longxi County, Liangzhou, and register with the help of the Li family's certificate in Longxi.

"can."

In this regard, Li Ji responded without hesitation.

In the final analysis, the problem of black households will be solved sooner or later, even if Liu Bei goes to Wu County to take office and then prepares to appoint Li Ji as the county magistrate.

So although Liu Bei, as the county guard, can decide this appointment on his own, the county magistrate is a real official, not a official.

Therefore, this appointment also needs to be reported to the court for filing.

At that time, when the court files this appointment, it will be found that Li Ji is a shady household once it is compared with the household registration information, which will cause all kinds of troubles.

Afterwards, Liu Bei comforted Li Ji for a while, until he was completely sure that there was no problem with Li Ji's condition, and then he proposed to hold a big banquet to celebrate the recognition of Li Ji and Jia Xu.

Upon hearing this, Li Ji couldn't help but said with a slight headache.

"My lord, you were very drunk yesterday. Even if you have a big banquet today, don't be greedy."

Liu Bei said with some embarrassment. "The lesson from Zikun is correct. Bei was a little over-excited yesterday, so he got drunk and lost his temper without realizing it. You should take this as a warning."

In this regard, Li Ji understood Liu Bei's feeling.

When he was young and studying, Liu Bei had many shortcomings, which also made Lu Zhi disappointed. Every time he thought about it, Liu Bei regretted his former dissoluteness.

Now, after many years, Liu Bei has proved himself in front of his former mentor, and was even invited to sit at the table. How can Liu Bei not be extremely happy?

There may not be an imperial examination at this moment, but Liu Bei's feeling of being recognized by his mentor is the same as when he was named on the gold list.

Afterwards, Liu Bei hurriedly took the initiative to arrange the banquet.

It wasn't until Liu Bei left that Jia Xu, who had been observing in the room, walked out calmly, sat down in front of Li Ji, and said.

"The way Zikun and Duke Xuande get along is enviable. They are not like ministers, but more like close friends."

Li Ji, who understood Jia Xu's meaning instantly, asked.

"Wen He is going to say that this is a way to bring disaster?"

Jia Xu smiled and said nothing, which was obviously what he meant.

In this regard, Li Ji also smiled and said nothing, and did not explain too much.

Liu Bei did not love power, wealth, or lust for women. He only valued friendship and benevolence. He was willing to risk his life to avenge his two sworn brothers.

Even in the history of his treatment of Huang Quan, who was forced to surrender to Wei State, Liu Bei not only did not blame him, but instead blamed himself for causing Huang Quan to suffer, and even treated Huang Quan's family members who stayed in Yizhou more kindly.

In an era where people would rather die than surrender, Liu Bei's tolerance and generosity are rare, and he often blames himself rather than others.

Even if we look at the five thousand years of China that Li Ji knew about his character, it is difficult to find a comparable ruler.

Therefore, if Li Ji saw Liu Bei appear in his room with a rope in the middle of the night, Li Ji would only wonder if Liu Bei wanted to climb into his bed, instead of thinking that Liu Bei wanted to tie him up and throw him into prison.

However, even if Li Ji said this, I am afraid that a wise man like Jia Xu would not believe it. Only by letting him observe and make his own judgment in the future would he believe it.

but……

"Mr. Xuande? Wen He didn't worship his master?"

Li Ji asked seemingly casually.

"I choose my master, but I am not just a random person."

Jia Xu said, then felt Li Ji's eyes gradually narrowing, and then added.

"However, I have promised Xuande Gong to stay in the army and assist Zikun in handling military affairs."

Immediately, Li Ji's expression changed from cloudy to clear, and he did not continue to force Jia Xu to recognize his master on the spot.

Li Ji also believed that Liu Bei's unique charm and Jia Xu's unique requirements would be expected to match, and Jia Xu would naturally make his final choice.

"However, I am a little curious. Why does Zikun hope that I can help Duke Xuande?" Jia Xu asked.

Jia Xu already believed that Li Ji was very good at recognizing people and could tell the truth at a glance, but Jia Xu asked himself that he only communicated with Li Ji for a while at the banquet.

Moreover, Jia Xu's past life can be described in two words - "open", and he did not show any ability at all.
