Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator.

Moreover, after the Yangzhou aristocratic families' representatives who went to Yizhou for investigation return, it will still be necessary to slowly guide the Yangzhou aristocratic families to shift their focus to Yizhou.

At that time, digesting the "cake" vacated by the aristocratic families in Yangzhou will also require a certain amount of time.

After carefully sorting out all aspects of Yangzhou, the estimate of the fourth or fifth month of next year is already quite bold.

If the person in charge is slightly less capable, it may take a year or two to properly handle these matters.

"Then why is Zikun in such a hurry to station troops in Chaisang?"

Liu Bei asked.

This was also a point of doubt for Liu Bei before, but because there were many people present just now, Liu Bei was not in a hurry to ask the reason.

"It's very simple."

Li Ji replied. "To reduce Yuan Gonglu's pressure. Once Yuan Gonglu's pressure is reduced, the pressure on Liu Jingzhou will naturally increase."

Suddenly, Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he fully understood.

Currently, the three states of Jing, Yu, and Yang happen to form a tripod.

Even if Liu Biao uses various means to restrain Liu Bei and prevent him from easily attacking Jingzhou.

Even if Liu Biao has a 90% certainty that Liu Bei will not abandon his reputation for benevolence and righteousness, under the threat of Liu Bei's large-scale stationing of troops in Chaisang, he may not dare to gamble on the remaining 10%.

In addition, Yangzhou's main defensive directions are two: one is to station troops in Chaisang, and the other is to station troops in Shouchun to defend against Yuan Shu.

When Chaisang increases its troops and Shouchun reduces its troops, the pressure on Yuan Shu, who is in Yuzhou, will naturally decrease, which will inevitably put greater pressure on Liu Biao.

When Liu Bei and Yuan Shu tacitly put pressure on Liu Biao, will Liu Biao be able to free up enough troops to advance into Yizhou?

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Liu Bei stroked his palms and laughed, saying.

"Liu Jingsheng schemes against us with conspiracies, while Zikun breaks it with the general trend, teaching that Liu Jingsheng, even if the gate of Yizhou is open to him, he would not dare to cross the thunder pond."

"That's exactly the case."

Li Ji said with a smile.

"Even if Liu Jingzhou is decisive enough to abandon Jingzhou and enter Yizhou, as long as we secretly instigate Yuan Gonglu to attack Jingzhou, the lord can also advance into Jingzhou under the pretext of preserving the foundation of our clan and reap the benefits."

"And the lord has preserved the foundation for Liu Jingzhou from Yuan Gonglu's hands. Presumably, Liu Jingzhou, who has obtained Yizhou, would not mind temporarily lending Jingzhou to the lord."

"At that time, even if Liu Jingzhou enters Yizhou, what harm will it do? The lord unites Jing, Yang, and Jiao, holding the Yangtze River, and has already secured half of the Han Dynasty."

Jia Xu couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this, and muttered to himself.

What lending Jingzhou?

That sounds nice. Once Jingzhou is in Li Zikun's hands, even if you beat Jia Xu to death, Jia Xu would not believe that Li Zikun would return Jingzhou to Liu Biao in this lifetime.

And if it really develops as Li Ji said, it would be meaningless for Liu Biao to seize Yizhou.

To the north, besides Hanzhong, there is also the chaos in Liangzhou and the remnants of the Dong thief and Lu Bu entrenched in Sili;

To the south, he has to face Liu Bei, who unites the three states again.

In this way, Liu Biao's ending can only be to be trapped to death in Yizhou.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu couldn't help but look at Li Ji with a bit more surprise and shock.

It can only be said that he is indeed Li Zikun.

Less than half a day after learning that Liu Zhang was attacked, he has already taken advantage of the situation and thought of such a grand strategy.

This point, Jia Xu, who is not very proficient in grand strategies, admits that he is far inferior to Li Ji.

And apart from Jia Xu, the others present couldn't help but gradually show joy on their faces.

If we follow the grand strategy set by Li Ji, not only can we make Liu Biao ultimately expose the notoriety of kidnapping Liu Zhang, but also take Jingzhou by using Yuan Shu's hand, so that Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and virtue will not be damaged, and further lay the foundation for hegemony.

"Good, good, good, with Zikun's words, I have no worries."

Liu Bei said with a smile on his face.

Li Ji cupped his hands and replied humbly, saying. "The general strategy is like this, but how to win or lose still depends on the direction of the situation and step-by-step operations. The lord must not take it lightly."

"That's the truth."

Liu Bei slowly restrained the joy on his face and replied in agreement.

Being complacent and forgetting one's form is the way to defeat.

Immediately, after receiving Liu Bei's support, Li Ji turned around and explained to Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei respectively.

Guan Yu is stationed in Shouchun to defend against Yuzhou;

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei will also each lead their elite troops to station in Chaisang, threatening Jingzhou.

Therefore, how to make Liu Biao feel like he has thorns on his back, and let Yuan Shu feel that Liu Bei has no hostility towards Yuzhou, naturally requires the cooperation of Zhao, Guan, and Zhang.

Finally, Li Ji's gaze fell on Jia Xu, who was bowing his head and constantly sipping tea beside him.

Jia Xu seemed to be immersed in the tea ceremony, completely unaware.

"Wenhe, how to provoke the relationship between Jing and Yu depends on you."

Li Ji said.

Just this?

Jia Xu raised his eyebrows.

How to provoke the relationship, this is naturally simple for Jia Xu.

But it is precisely because it is simple that Jia Xu is more or less unbelievable. This does not conform to Li Ji's usual style.

Easy things are often not Jia Xu's turn.

In this regard, Jia Xu has a kind of inexplicable awareness.

However, Jia Xu waited slightly, but Li Ji really had no further words, which made Jia Xu feel slightly happy, and he also cupped his hands and agreed.

At this point, this small meeting can be considered to have ended.

Seemingly, the overall arrangement is no different from the "big meeting" just now, but in fact, the secret arrangements and preparations are only known to those who participated in the small meeting.

Immediately, Liu Bei felt that it would probably take several months before he could see Zhao, Guan, and Zhang again after they went to Shouchun and Chaisang respectively.

Therefore, Liu Bei did not directly let everyone leave, but held a banquet and got drunk with his brothers, and then reluctantly bid farewell.

A few days after Liu Zhang was attacked, the representatives of the Yangzhou aristocratic families who went to Yizhou returned one by one with excitement and anticipation on their faces. Li Ji also refocused most of his energy on guiding the Yangzhou aristocratic families to start moving to Yizhou.

However, the news of Liu Zhang's attack, I don't know where it started to spread from.

Almost following Liu Bei's "Grand Military Exercise", it swept across the entire Han Dynasty one after another.

The oath Liu Bei made to the people was convincing and admirable;

The attack on Liu Zhang was even more full of a sense of impending storm.

Especially since Liu Zhang is Liu Yan's only remaining son on the surface, he was attacked in Jingzhou on his way out of Yangzhou, which suddenly linked the three clan governors, which can be described as full of various buffs.

As Li Ji expected, there are quite a few people who suspect that this was directed and acted by Liu Bei himself, and that he is preparing to take the opportunity to plot Jingzhou and Yizhou.

In addition, Liu Bei publicly announced the oath he made to the world, which also led to the gradual polarization of the world's opinions on Liu Bei.

Either they think that Liu Bei is truly benevolent and righteous, and a person who supports the Han Dynasty; or they think that Liu Bei is a hypocrite and a wolfish ambition.
