Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 79 Raising Hope
  My lord Xuande needs just these little black men to contribute to the revival of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Ji didn't have to worry about the "little black men" who dared to challenge him not coming. Li Ji would try to convince anyone who dared to come.

Even if Li Ji is not convinced, as long as he is talented, Li Ji can still let the "big Han Succubus" personally take action. It is expected that it will be accurate.

However, facing Lu Zhi's comments, Li Ji still maintained a calm expression on his face and said with a cup of his hands.

"Mr. Lu has praised me, but I don't think I can live up to my praise. After word spreads about the favored man, it may attract great talents to ask me to give him some advice through sand table simulations, so as to improve his military strategy."

As soon as this statement came out, many people changed their views on Li Ji.

If Li Ji was just an invitation and could win five people in a row, then it would be enough to be evaluated like this by Lu Zhi. Now he should cherish his feathers even more.

However, Li Ji once again openly sought guidance from great talents, which undoubtedly shows that Li Ji is really just obsessed with this way and wants to find others to communicate with him.

Li Ji paused, seemed to think of something again, and said.

"Of course, if there is a great talent who thinks that my invitation is not sincere enough, he can claim that he is worthy of fighting Li Ji. I will definitely send out an invitation letter and send someone to his hometown to invite him."

How could the people around who heard this understand the profound meaning and connotation contained in Li Ji's words?

Everyone just thought that Li Ji's move was purely humility and sincerity, and it also expressed his desire to exchange knowledge with other great talents.

However, from now on, the world will be proud to receive invitations from Lee Kee. This will become a further catalyst for Lee Kee's reputation. In all likelihood, the talents who receive the invitations will happily go to Lee Kee. location.

In this way, it will undoubtedly have inestimable benefits for Liu Bei to gather talents from all over the world.

As for Huangfu Song, who had repeatedly changed his mind about Li Ji, even though he had been rejected once, he couldn't help but speak again at this moment.

"Zi Kun, it is really a waste of your talents to help govern a county. It is better to return to Luoyang with me. I will do my best to recommend you to your majesty as a general."

"Thank you Mr. Huangfu for your kindness, but as Ji said before, it is true that using troops and planning is only part of what I said I am good at. I am also confident in governing a party." Li Ji replied.

Lu Zhi, who knew the strategy of "ruling the world with one county", said with emotion.

"Previously, when I heard that Xuande wanted to rule the world from one county, I was just surprised that Xuande had great ambitions and that this matter would benefit the country and the people, so I fully supported it, but I didn't have much hope that Xuande could succeed. hope."

"Now, if it is true as Zikun said, the ability to govern a country is no less than using troops to devise strategies, or Xuande can really make a difference in the land of Wu."

To rule the world with one county?

This word completely attracted the attention of everyone present, and the magnitude contained in it was even more heartbreaking.

"Ziqian wants to rule the world with one county. What is the purpose of this?" Zhu Jun asked.

Lu Zhi thought for a while and said.

"Xuande, it's up to you to speak on this matter."

"Yes, Master Lu."

Liu Bei responded respectfully, and then explained loudly.

Li Ji originally planned to wait for Wu County's governance to achieve success before publicizing this policy to attract refugees and talents, and gain support from the general public.

However, now that Li Ji has proven his ability and credibility, Liu Bei has many benefits in promoting this strategy in advance.

As Liu Bei explained bit by bit, the eyes of everyone present looked at Liu Bei and Li Ji with brighter eyes, and many of them were shocked and inexplicable.

Liu Bei seemed to be content with Wujun in the east of the Yangtze River, but he actually had the heart to save the world and bring peace to the people, and he would carry it out to the end without hesitation.

"Liu Xuande is truly a benevolent person."

"How magnificent is it to develop the land south of the Yangtze River and bring life to all the people in the world?"

"If Li Zikun is really capable of governing the country, this may not be a dream of an idiot. It will be a blessing to the great Han Dynasty, a blessing to all people, and a blessing to the world..."

……

For a time, Liu Bei and Li Ji completely became the protagonists of the banquet.

Even as the sky was getting dark and the curfew was approaching, Lu Zhi had to announce that the banquet was over. After the banquet was over, many military officers and scribes who dispersed were talking about Liu Bei and Li Ji.

And through everyone's mouth, everything about the banquet will inevitably spread to every corner of the Han Dynasty, thus setting off a new trend.

'Whether I can seize this trend and take advantage of it depends on what I'm waiting for...'

At this moment, Li Ji deeply felt the traces of the general trend, and it was a general trend created by himself. He even felt a little anxious in his heart and couldn't wait to go to Wu County with Liu Bei.

However, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xiahou Bo and others have not returned, so even if they are anxious, it will have no effect.

In the following days, there was an endless stream of people visiting Liu Bei's mansion.

Part of them came for Li Ji, and part of them were impressed by Liu Bei's actions in wanting to save all the people in the world, so they came here to help each other.

This is fame!
  Liu Bei and Li Ji also assessed the visitors one by one. Unfortunately, the visitors might have some abilities. They could manage a county, but they were not considered great talents.

However, for Liu Bei, who has a weak foundation now, such talents are also extremely lacking.

Therefore, except for some people who seemed to have serious mental problems, Liu Bei won over the rest one by one, preparing to use them as a place to help govern Wu Commandery.

Jia Xu, who was standing in a corner, saw this and commented slowly.

"Xuan De Gong has already begun to raise his hopes. Once his prestige is achieved, Zikun and Xuande Gong will complement each other, and it will be easy to attract talents from all over the world to Wu County." "The world has been suffering for a long time, waiting for a person who is determined to save the country and the people. I don’t know how many followers I have.” Li Ji said in a low voice.

At this moment in the first year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was still on the throne, but the court was getting darker and darker. Countless people with lofty ideals were simply depressed and sad, wanting to serve the country and save the people but had no way.

At this moment, Liu Bei embarked on the path of raising his hopes earlier than his original trajectory, and he also promoted his ambition to serve the country and save the people earlier than his original trajectory. His status was even higher than that of his original trajectory. The attraction generated by him was unimaginable.

The situation was dark, and Liu Bei was a ray of light in the darkness. He was also a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the governor of a county.

"Ah……"

Hearing this, Jia Xu chuckled lightly and then said.

"Zikun, then Cao Mengde sent you a deer meat brocade robe again. His intentions are quite sincere and he invites you to go hunting out of the city. Do you want to go?"

"Don't go."

Li Ji shook his head decisively.

Ever since I don't know who publicized the story between Li Ji and Xu You, Li Ji and Xu You have each had a new name in Julu City: "Li Sanqian" and "Xu Sansheng".

As a result, Xu You avoided mentioning it, and even the relationship between Li Ji and Cao Cao became known to everyone in Julu City.

At this moment, Li Ji and Cao Cao went out to hunt alone in the city, and the involvement of both parties was really the widow sneaking into Cao Cao's house - we will talk about it later.

I'm afraid that instead of going hunting, Li Ji himself became the prey.

Two days later, Xiahou Bo, who was the closest, returned to Julu City with Xiahou Lan.

Five days later, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also escorted the Taoyuan people back. Jian Yong was also in the queue. More importantly, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also brought over a large amount of money and grain stored in Zhuoxian County.

This is also the whole reason why Liu Bei, who has a weak foundation, wants to make a difference in Wu County.

Afterwards, Liu Bei arranged for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the rest of the soldiers who were tired from traveling and traveling to rest for a day, and then they couldn't wait to set off for Wu Commandery.

Standing at the south gate of Julu City, Liu Bei suddenly felt like he was in another world.

A few months ago, he led his army out of Zhuoxian County for the first time. He had Bu Guan, Zhang and two thousand soldiers under his command.

Nowadays, there is a huge group of people, including Guan, Zhang, Zhao and Shuang Xiahou, Li Ji, Jia Xu, Jian Yong and more than ten scholars.

And that time he left the city to fight for his life, but this time he went to Wu County to take office and prepare to calm the people and govern the country.

The situation in just a few months was more exciting than Liu Bei's life in the past twenty years.

Even after learning that Liu Bei was leaving for Wu Commandery today, the three lieutenants Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun would personally see him off, and there were countless scholars and common people in the send-off team.

But when Liu Bei thanked Lu Zhi and others one by one, Cao Cao went straight to Li Ji's direction, held Li Ji's hand with reluctance, and said.

"Cao Cao and Zi Kun didn't have a close relationship, but he left for Wu County without thinking about Zi Kun. Cao Cao is heartbroken and doesn't know when he will be able to reunite with Zi Kun again."

When Li Ji heard this, he could only show an awkward but polite smile.

What Boss Cao said about the deep friendship is not simple. How can Ji dare to respond to it?

"Peace, Meng De, we will meet again someday." Li Ji replied.

"From then on, Zikun went all the way south, and Cao Cao will also go north to Jinan to take office. It's so painful to separate the north and the south." Cao Cao still said reluctantly.

Cao Cao was not untrue on this point.

Regarding Li Ji's departure, after Cao Cao heard about it last night, he was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep all night.

Cao Cao already coveted Li Jizhi's talent, and wished he could plunder him around and ask for advice every day.

As for the fact that Li Ji had already worshiped Liu Bei as his master, instead of making Cao Cao retreat, he became more and more excited.

The more Li Ji resisted and refused, the more Cao Cao valued Li Ji.

Such a loyal and talented person, if you can get his heart, you can use him with confidence.

Seeing that Li Ji was about to leave, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask.

"Zi Kun, if Cao Cao is willing to go to the land east of the Yangtze River like Xuande and rule the world with one county, are you willing to assist me?"

"A loyal minister does not serve two masters."

Li Ji saw that Liu Bei was about to finish talking with Lu Zhi and others, then turned around and came to the door after leaving a word.

"Zi Kun!"

Cao Cao shouted and was about to step forward.

The Zhangba Snake Spear in Zhang Fei's hand suddenly blocked Cao Cao's path from the side, and he shouted angrily.

"Hey, you are a thief who doesn't know what's good or bad. Don't covet my Mr. Zikun."

Cao Cao quickly stopped Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan behind him who were about to pull out their weapons. He looked at Li Ji and sighed, then said goodbye.

"I regret that I have not met Zikun for a long time. I hope that Zikun will have a safe journey and realize his ambition."
