Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator.

However, Himiko was not a Han Chinese after all, and she did not understand that Li Ji's question in public was to completely nail the Yamatai Kingdom to the history books, ensuring that the Han army's capture of the Yamatai Kingdom always maintained righteousness.

However, Himiko did not understand the reason, but she understood that what was important for her, a prisoner at the moment, was not explanation, but to show a sufficiently obedient attitude.

"Himiko is willing to use the power of the entire Yamatai Kingdom to seek the forgiveness of the Great Han, and even hopes to seek the forgiveness of the Han envoy. Whatever the Han envoy asks, Himiko is willing to wholeheartedly cater to it..."

Speaking of this, Himiko did not forget to lightly bite her lower lip, with a charming look of wanting to refuse and welcome, and then said.

"Even if the Han envoy is willing, it is not impossible for Himiko to make the Yamatai Kingdom respect the Han envoy as king."

However, Li Ji's coldness in his eyes did not change towards Himiko's blatant temptation, and he even wanted to laugh in his heart.

If it was Boss Cao standing here, he might have been so interested that he would have adopted Himiko as his goddaughter.

After all, it would undoubtedly be a great pleasure to have the ruler of a barbarian country flattering and asking for anything.

Unfortunately, Li Ji is not Boss Cao. Even if he likes women, he will never ruin major events for the sake of mere beauty.

Moreover, Himiko's level is just a bit more exotic and amazing in Yingzhou. If she were placed in the Great Han, she could only barely be considered "acceptable."

As for Himiko's bewitchment of making the Yamatai Kingdom respect Li Ji as king, Li Ji was even more disdainful in his heart.

At the moment, Yingzhou is already Li Ji's plaything and backyard in his eyes, so why does he need Himiko to make the Yamatai Kingdom respect him?

"The ruler of a country does not hesitate to sell her beauty in order to survive. It is really ridiculous and sad..."

As Li Ji's words full of disdain and ridicule came out, the charming look on Himiko's face was completely replaced by astonishment.

Could this person really have a heart of stone? Or does he not like women at all?

Himiko was able to gradually grasp the power of the Yamatai Kingdom as a woman in the Yamatai Kingdom, and even become the ruler of the Yamatai Kingdom, because none of the men in the Yamatai Kingdom could reach this level of charm, but she never thought that there would be a day when it seemed to have no effect at all.

And Li Ji's words also caused a burst of laughter among the surrounding Han people, who looked at Himiko with contempt, and a feeling of unspeakable pride and arrogance arose in the hearts of the Han people.

This, in turn, made Himiko feel inexplicably ashamed and humiliated.

Defeated by the hands of the strong, Himiko had nothing to say, and was even willing to cater to Li Ji in order to survive and become rich, but this did not mean that Himiko looked up to those ordinary Han people.

It's just that Himiko didn't dare to speak, and couldn't speak, so she had to silently lower her head, deeply hide this humiliation in her heart, and continue to put on an obedient posture.

And Li Ji didn't care about Himiko's feelings, but said with some playfulness.

"But if Queen Himiko wants to survive, it's not impossible."

Hearing this, Himiko's face lit up with joy, thinking that Li Ji was just pretending to be reserved, and quickly responded. "Please... please, High Envoy, be merciful."

"It is rumored that you have the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods, and you have used this method to bewitch countless Yamatai people to respect you as king?" Li Ji asked leisurely.

Himiko was quite puzzled when Li Ji mentioned this matter, but considering that the Great Han also respected the theory of ghosts and gods, she immediately followed suit.

"Reporting to the Han envoy, it is not bewitchment, but Himiko does know a thing or two. If the Han envoy does not believe it, you can go to a secluded place with me, and Himiko can show it to the Han envoy."

"Good!"

Li Ji stroked his palms and smiled. Before Himiko's face showed joy, he changed his tone and said.

"However, there is no need to go to a secluded place. Since Queen Himiko has the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods, then changing the weather is just a trivial matter."

"How about I tie Queen Himiko here for three days? If it rains within three days and Queen Himiko's life is saved, then I can't defy God's will. I, Li Ji, will lead the Han army to withdraw from the Yamatai Kingdom, and return all the captured soldiers to Queen Himiko. What do you think?"

Hearing this, the joy on Himiko's face almost couldn't be suppressed, and she never thought that the dignified Han envoy would respect the theory of ghosts and gods to such an extent.

Perhaps, Himiko actually doesn't know how to change the weather, but now it is spring, which is the stage of frequent rainfall.

With Himiko's knowledge, the possibility of not raining a drop within three days... is extremely small!

"I have always heard that Han people value promises. I hope the Han envoy will not break his promise," Himiko said, suppressing her excitement.

"Of course not."

Li Ji said with a sneer in secret, and then ordered the guards to tie Himiko up with ropes, and then took Himiko to a small slope 500 steps away from the main gate of the capital, and drew a line on the ground with his foot as a pen, saying.

"I want to tie Queen Himiko here. Does Queen Himiko have any objections?"

"No."

Afraid that Li Ji would find a reason to go back on his word, Himiko immediately agreed.

"Good."

Immediately, Li Ji ordered people to cut down a thick wooden stake and insert it into the drawn mark, and then ordered people to tie Queen Himiko to the wooden stake.

As for the other captured Yamatai Kingdom nobles and generals, Li Ji arranged for them to kneel in a place about fifty steps away from the wooden stake.

And in order to avoid any accidents, Li Ji arranged for more than a thousand guards to guard the surrounding area, while he retreated to a shady tree to stay, and arranged for the soldiers to set up camp outside the capital and cook.

It was noon at the moment, and the sun was quite poisonous.

Li Ji only stayed in the sun for a while, and already felt quite uncomfortable, and the Himiko who was tied to the wooden stake and the nobles and generals kneeling on the ground were even more needless to say.

And as Li Ji's gaze turned, looking at the capital with raging fire not far from Himiko and others, he only felt that this scene had a unique beauty, which made Li Ji's interest greatly increase, and he directly asked people to bring cloth, charcoal, and pens to paint.

The ruler of the Yamatai Kingdom is tied outside the capital, countless nobles and generals are captured and kneeling on the ground, and there is a raging fire in the capital...

What a good picture of the destruction of a foreign country!

Li Ji, who depicted the scene on the cloth with considerable painting skills, finally used "Picture of the Destruction of a Foreign Country" as the name.

'Another rare collection, and Li Ji plans to treasure this painting, and use it to carefully savor the frivolity of his youth in his old age...'

It's just that, just as Li Ji lowered his head and concentrated on preparing to complete the last few strokes of this painting, suddenly a large number of Han soldiers exclaimed around him.

As for the Yamatai Kingdom nobles and generals who were kneeling on the ground facing Himiko, they even made bursts of strange laughter that seemed to be celebrating.

"It's raining!"

Li Ji raised his eyes and looked towards the sky, only to see a dark cloud slowly drifting towards the direction of the capital, and it was obvious that some rain was falling where it passed.

This rain... is not heavy!

But it was enough to make a group of Yamatai Kingdom nobles and generals ecstatic.

Himiko, who was tied to the wooden stake, was already sweating profusely after being there for a while, and her face was also twisted with excitement.

Afterwards, Himiko seemed to be saying something to the Yamatai Kingdom nobles and generals below in Yamato, which made the Yamatai Kingdom nobles and generals even more ecstatic, and then kowtowed to Himiko frantically.

"Teacher, what should we do? It's really raining. Could it be that we really want to let that Himiko go and withdraw from the Yamatai Kingdom?" Sun Ce said somewhat unwillingly.

As for the theory of ghosts and gods, Sun Ce didn't believe it at all.

What Sun Ce believed in was absolute force and Li Ji's ghost-like wisdom, not these superstitious things.

Regarding Sun Ce's anxiety, Li Ji didn't have a trace of anxiety. Instead, he was inspired and added a few more strokes to the cloth with a charcoal pen, drawing a rain scene, saying.

"Don't worry, let the rain fall for a while."

Suddenly, Sun Ce noticed that the few strokes of rain that Li Ji had added to the cloth covered the capital, the Yamatai Kingdom nobles and generals, but did not cover Himiko, who was tied to the wooden stake.

In an instant, Sun Ce seemed to understand something. He raised his head and looked at Himiko and others, and suddenly found that the rain, which had come quite quickly, stopped moving forward after covering the Yamatai Kingdom nobles and generals.

It was as if there was an invisible line, preventing the heavy rain from crossing the line.

This scene not only surprised Sun Ce and the Yamatai Kingdom nobles and generals, but also made Himiko, who was originally in a victorious posture, so anxious that her face was distorted, staring intently at the rain fifty steps away, begging, pleading, and praying that the rain would come a little closer to her.

However... it was useless!

One side was brightly lit by the sun, while the other side was shrouded in rain.

It was as if Himiko had been abandoned by the gods that countless people in Yingzhou believed in because of Li Ji's words.

Until the rain, which came and went quickly, completely stopped, not a single drop of rain fell on Himiko's body. Instead, Li Ji borrowed the beauty created by the rain to completely perfect and preserve the "Picture of the Destruction of a Foreign Country" in his hand.

"Old... Teacher, is there really such a thing as ghosts and gods in this world?"

Sun Ce, who had always been the least believer in ghosts and gods, couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw this scene, and asked Li Ji with self-doubt.

Li Ji tapped Sun Ce's forehead lightly with the folding fan in his hand, and said. "The celestial phenomena are formed by natural evolution, how can they be related to ghosts and gods?"

"Then... then that scene just now..." Sun Ce asked blankly.

"A general who does not understand astronomy, does not know the terrain, and does not understand people, is worse than a mediocre talent..."

At this point, Li Ji paused, then looked at Sun Ce and said.

"Ce'er, you are still far from ready, especially if you intend to sail the seas. How can you proceed without understanding celestial phenomena?"

These words caused Sun Ce to sink into deep thought.

Li Ji glanced at Himiko and the other Yamatai people, all lost in self-doubt, and sneered inwardly.

Believe in gods and communicate with spirits?

Then I will step over your corpse, Himiko, and forever engrave my name above the ghosts and gods of Yingzhou."
