Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator.

Since the great disaster in the Central Plains, and Liu Bei's determination to provide disaster relief and save the people.

Not to mention Li Ji, it could be said that almost all the civil and military officials under Liu Bei had no free time.

Even Guan Yu, who was stationed in the Fuchun Mountain area.

Under Li Ji's order, he transferred 5,000 county soldiers from the surrounding counties to provide support. Guan Yu also began to counterattack and sweep the Shanyue, and Guan Yu once again cleared out some of the mountain bandits and bandits who might still be hiding in the southern part of Wu County.

To prevent those mountain bandits, bandits, or Shanyue alien races from taking advantage of the chaos as the "work-for-relief" began.

Therefore, feeling this rare free time, Li Ji simply put down his official duties and walked around in the backyard of the government office to relax and relieve his tense spirit for a long time.

Suddenly, Li Ji felt that since joining Liu Bei's command, the only leisurely time was the period when he pretended to be sick.

Every day, in addition to reading books and deducing water network plans, he listened to Cai Zhaoji's clear and sweet voice reciting books.

And when he thought of Cai Zhaoji, Li Ji suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something...

Anyway, Cai Zhaoji could be regarded as his fiancée, and he had previously promised to write to her regularly.

As a result, he had been busy with this and that for the past two months. Not to mention writing letters, Li Ji almost completely forgot about Cai Zhaoji.

If it weren't for this period of leisure, Li Ji would not have remembered that he still had a fiancée.

Immediately, Li Ji took a roll of blank bamboo slips, intending to write, but felt that sending letters with bamboo slips was a bit too formal.

Thinking of this, Li Ji took out a piece of brocade, wanting to write but stopped again.

The words written on the brocade were not easy to preserve. Zhaoji usually seemed to prefer to preserve bamboo slips more, and writing on bamboo slips would last longer.

In the end, Li Ji decided to use bamboo slips as the carrier, but when he really picked up the pen, Li Ji couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed about what to write.

If he didn't think it was too simple, Li Ji felt that writing two words "Don't worry" could summarize what he thought.

'If I really only write those two words, wouldn't it look more like a letter of divorce than a love letter?'

Li Ji tapped his head with the pen, and for a moment he felt that he had not been stumped by settling hundreds of thousands of refugees, but was stumped by writing such a letter, and hesitated for a long time on how to start writing.

And Li Ji's brain is still full of the aftermath of various official duties, and he really doesn't have any romantic feelings at all.

More importantly, Li Ji has no experience in writing love letters.

In the end, Li Ji realized that the key to his problem was that he seemed to need to explain slightly why he wrote the letter so late.

As Li Ji picked up his pen and wrote, he wrote about the heavy official duties that needed to be dealt with after their last meeting, using this to vaguely express and explain that not writing letters was not a subjective will, but was affected by objective factors.

Finally, Li Ji stated that he would be leaving Wu County for a period of time in the future, and asked Cai Zhaoji to take care of herself.

Li Ji quickly finished writing as if dragons and snakes were walking, and after checking it again for typos, he was quite satisfied to roll up the bamboo slips and put on the sealing mud.

Except that Li Ji was not very satisfied with his calligraphy skills, he boasted that he had written quite well.

What should be explained has been vaguely explained, and then he expressed his concern and explained where he was going.

That's about it.

Li Ji put away the bamboo slips, directly summoned a member of the Brocade-Clothed Guard, and asked him to have Li Qin, who was protecting Cai Zhaoji, hand the bamboo slips to her tomorrow.

...

The next morning.

Li Ji, who was all ready, directly led more than a hundred petty officials and "temporary" scholars, under the protection of thousands of county soldiers, towards the direction of the refugee camp.

And Zhang Fei was summoned back to Wu County by Li Ji to garrison.

Although Wu County is located in the hinterland of Wu County and there are no threats around, considering the possible risks, Li Ji forcibly left Zhang Fei in Wu County to guard the home.

After all, almost all of the Liu Bei Group's money and food were concentrated in Wu County by Li Ji.

If the money and food were really stolen and burned, it would be extremely explosive, and this kind of thing had to be prevented.

And at the same time that Li Ji set off to leave Wu County, Cai Zhaoji's slender hands also opened the roll of bamboo slips, and her eyes flowed over the bamboo slips for a while.

Immediately, Cai Zhaoji, who had always been able to be aloof in front of outsiders, couldn't help but chuckle and said.

"This fool, it's not like he's reporting to Lord Fu Yin, what is he writing?"

Immediately afterwards, a touch of sorrow appeared between Cai Zhaoji's eyebrows.

Since setting the marriage contract with Li Ji, Cai Zhaoji has paid more attention to the movements outside the Fu.

Although in order to avoid excessive panic among the local people of Wu County, Li Ji used a lot of power to block all rumors about refugees from being spread within Wu County.

It's just that the great disaster in the Central Plains and the large number of refugees pouring into Wu County was too big, and it was impossible to completely cover it up. Cai Zhaoji had also heard about it.

And Liu Bei and Li Ji, as the core figures of the entire Wu County, left Wu County one after another, which shows that the situation is quite critical.

Now, Li Ji will also go to the northern part of Wu County to appease the refugees and sit in command, which makes Cai Zhaoji inevitably worried about Li Ji's safety.

Immediately, Cai Zhaoji took out a piece of brocade and asked the maid Li Shu to grind the ink, and then she picked up the pen to reply.

First, she thanked Li Ji for sending the maids Li Shu and Li Qin, praised Li Shu and Li Qin's abilities, said that she was all well, and then expressed her concern for Li Ji, and wrote a few suggestions for resettling the refugees.

Then, the brush in Cai Zhaoji's hand paused slightly, her eyes revealed a few hesitations, and a blush also appeared on her face.

Cai Zhaoji raised her eyes and looked at Li Shu, who was serving to grind the ink beside her, and said.

"Shu'er, please turn around and don't look."

"Yes, Miss."

After Li Shu turned her back to her, Cai Zhaoji wrote with shame.

【Since ancient times, virtuous ministers and capable people cannot take care of both their families and their country. I am also a sensible person. I am very happy to receive your letter in your busy schedule.

However, your letter is no different from an official document. There is no mention of whether you miss me in the words.

Love is long, but the letter is short, endless reluctance.】

After Cai Zhaoji hurriedly added the last sentence, she didn't even have the courage to turn around and check it again, and hurriedly rolled up the brocade, tied it with a red rope, and put it in a beautiful cloth bag.

Immediately, Cai Zhaoji handed the cloth bag to Li Shu and asked Li Shu to send the cloth bag to the Fu Ya to be handed over to Li Ji.

After Li Shu left, Cai Zhaoji felt a burst of heat on her face, and when she went to the pool in the courtyard to look at it, the shadow reflected in the water could even clearly see the redness on her cheeks.

It wasn't until a long time later that Cai Zhaoji felt her heart gradually calm down.

Then, Cai Zhaoji went to another library of Cai Yong that treasured some special existences, and looked up a precious military book.

Previously, although Cai Zhaoji loved to read miscellaneous books, she was not particularly interested in military books and battle formations, so she naturally had less contact with them.

It was only after she got engaged to Li Ji, and in the time she spent with Li Ji, Cai Zhaoji also learned that Li Ji especially loved to read books, especially various books related to the military, and Li Ji was always reading.

'And, it seems that you prefer to listen to...recitation...'

Cai Zhaoji thought silently, reciting the military books that she was not very interested in in the past one by one.

...

Li Ji was naturally unaware of this.

Although Li Ji arranged Li Shu and Li Qin to be by Cai Zhaoji's side, Li Shu and Li Qin's mission was more to protect Cai Zhaoji.

Unless Cai Zhaoji showed some strange behavior, or some strange person wanted to contact Cai Zhaoji, Li Shu and Li Qin would take the initiative to contact Li Ji through the channels of the Brocade-Clothed Guard.

It's just that Cai Zhaoji is usually a typical book-reading otaku, so that Li Shu and Li Qin have been serving Cai Zhaoji for more than two months, and they can't find anything to report to Li Ji.

This made Li Shu and Li Qin, who were thinking about when they could make contributions, or could see Li Ji again through reporting, feel a little depressed.

And when Li Shu sent Cai Zhaoji's reply to the Fu Ya on the surface, and actually transmitted it to Li Ji through the channels of the Brocade-Clothed Guard, Li Ji had already arrived at the refugee camp.

Before people got close, a rather pungent stench first entered Li Ji's nose, causing Li Ji's eyebrows to furrow unconsciously.

However, Li Ji has always been highly concerned about the situation in the refugee camp, and understands that this is not Jian Yong's fault.

Jian Yong has already implemented various sanitation measures proposed by Li Ji in the refugee camp, and various excrement is also disposed of at fixed points and times.

It's just that in this simple refugee camp, as the number of refugees continues to increase, and many refugees don't know how many days they haven't bathed, it is naturally inevitable that various smells will mix together to form a stench.

After Li Ji entered the refugee camp, although traces of cleaning can be seen everywhere, most of the ground is a muddy mess.

The refugees in the central area of the refugee camp can be regarded as having shelter from the wind and rain, but the further out they go, the simpler it becomes. Some refugees spread some dry grass on the ground that is not so muddy and lie on it to rest, which is considered good conditions.

Some simply sit directly on the ground, and the mud on their bodies has dried and wet several layers, and even warmth is靠着靠着 that layer of mud.

And although Li Ji had seen many refugees in this era, he still couldn't help but shed tears secretly when he saw the people in such a state, and he felt a lot of pity in his heart.

However, there was no trace of wavering on Li Ji's face, but he steadily led a group of scholars and petty officials, under the protection of thousands of county soldiers, towards the big tent in the center of the refugee camp.

Li Ji knew very well that he must not show any weakness or girlishness, otherwise, not to mention that it would be easy for the refugees who witnessed it to interpret some different meanings.

Even Li Ji, as the pillar of Wu Commandery, must not show any sign of weakness.

Liu Bei, as the lord, needs to win over the hearts of the people and can be merciful and compassionate towards the refugees!

However, Li Ji needs to maintain an absolutely confident and steady demeanor, and even, if necessary, deal with some unruly rioters to deter the people at all costs.
