Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

After hearing this, Zhao Yun, who had also been thinking, asked in confusion.

"There is no way to pass through Fuchun Mountain? How is it possible? Fuchun Mountain tightly blocks and protects the large area of ​​deep mountains and old forests in the south of Wu County. Behind it, there are plains along the river. If you want to enter the Qiantang County area, you must pass through Fuchun Mountain."

Li Ji shook his head, pointed at Kuaiji County, and said. "What if that mountain range goes from Kuaiji County to Qiantang County?"

"Is this really possible?"

Zhao Yun asked still puzzled.

"Although the Qiantang County area is close to Kuaiji County, it is mostly plains. Shanyin, the seat of Kuaiji County, is also nearby. If there are mountains that cross the border, it will definitely be blocked by Kuaiji County."

"Hehehe..."

Jia Xu sneered a few times and said.

"That's not simple. Kuaiji County only needs to deliberately allow Shanyue to enter. It doesn't even matter what deal was reached behind the scenes. Guo Yi, the governor of Kuaiji County, was greedily plundering the county. It seems that the envoy he sent to Wu County I reported to him the changes in Wu Jun and made him have other thoughts. "

In response, Li Ji couldn't help but glance at Jia Xu.

Luring the wolf into the house, this is...

Jia Xu had an innocent expression.

After all, with such a greedy neighbor, even if he can hide it for a while, can he hide it for a lifetime?

Sooner or later, Guo Yi will be targeted as well.

Originally, everyone was in the miserable place of Yangzhou. Guo Yi was too busy in Kuaiji County to make much money, so he naturally had no time to pay attention to his poor neighbors.

Now that Wu Jun has become rich inexplicably, how can Guo Yi hold back?

"The hyena following Shi Chang's attendant..."

Li Ji murmured that he already knew everything about Guo Yi's background.

He is indeed a distant relative of Guo Sheng, the ten permanent servants. He relied on his relationship with Guo Sheng to gain the position of governor of such a remote state and county. Once he took office, once he had the power in his hands, it was natural for the common people to take advantage of him.

As the governor, Liu Bei heard about Guo Sheng's affairs and impeached the court several times. As you can imagine, he ended up in ruins.

However, after the death of Emperor Ling and the death of Shi Changshi, Guo Yi's name disappeared from the records. It is conceivable that since there was no backstage, there was a high probability that he would be killed directly.

Instead, the new governor of Kuaiji County was replaced by Wang Lang, the Situ Wang Lang who was scolded by Zhuge Liang to die in front of the battle and became famous in one battle.

This information flashed through Li Ji's mind, and he stared at Qiantang County and Shanyin County unconsciously, and said.

"If this is really the case, then the number of Shanyue who robbed Qiantang County is likely to be more than three thousand, and even that Shanyue was completely used to test Wu Jun's reaction..."

"We must defeat it with the force of thunder in order to deter Shan Yue from violating the territory!"

Although the current intelligence in Qiantang County is unknown, there is no doubt that the possibility of this direction exists.

With this thought, Li Ji no longer hesitated and spoke.

"Zilong, you immediately lead 1,500 light cavalry to the Qiantang County area. You are allowed to act according to the situation. The purpose is to find out the situation of the battle, kill as many thieves as possible, and deter Shanyue."

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun received the military order and immediately turned around and left the government office resolutely, heading straight to the camp to summon the cavalry.

After Zhao Yun left, Li Ji and Jia Xu were still staring at the map, each of them deep in thought.

For now, the only way to judge the possibility of the mountain crossing bypassing Fuchun Mountain and entering the Qiantang County area is from Kuaiji!

Whether it was Guo Yi, the governor of Kuaiji County, who was incompetent and allowed Shan Yue to loot everywhere, or whether Guo Yi made some deal with Shan Yue. This information is still unknown today.

But the first question before Li Ji and Jia Xu is how many Shanyue there are!

Although the Shanyue Rebellion was mostly small groups of tribes fighting for their own sake, with at least a few hundred people attacking nearby villages, there were also incidents in Yangzhou where tens of thousands of Shanyue rebels united to attack the county and plunder.

"You must be on guard..."

Li Ji really didn't like this completely unknown situation, and there were too many possibilities that could be derived from it.

After all, since Shanyue can have three thousand people enter Qiantang County quietly, there are too many things that can be done.

"To the north, the mountains will sweep through the surrounding prosperous areas, and Qiantang, Yuhang, and Fuchun counties will all be plundered; to the south, if there is another mountainous terrain that cuts off the grain road in the Yunchang section..."

When he said this, Li Ji spoke in a particularly solemn tone.

"Originally, Yunchang's troops were based on the advantage of the Fuchun Mountains and the supply of supplies from the plains. Instead, they would be besieged in the Fuchun Mountains. Even if Yunchang could lead his troops to break out, he would still have to give up the Fuchun Mountains."

"In this case, the worst-case scenario is that all the mountains and rivers in the three counties of Danyang, Kuaiji, and Yuzhang can flow into Wu County through this opening."

When Jia Xu heard this, his expression became much more serious unconsciously, and he understood that if this situation really happened, the terrain of Wu County would be unsafe.

It is difficult to defend with only the low walls of each county. By then, I am afraid that the people in the entire southern part of Wu County will be robbed, and it will be extremely detrimental to the planned development of Wu County.

"This possibility is extremely slim, but we have to guard against it..."

Jia Xu commented and said. "Could it be that Zikun wants to use troops on a large scale?"

"Only with a bright sword can wealth be preserved..."

Li Ji narrowed his eyes and said.

"Whether it's Guo Yi's temptation from Kuaiji County or Shanyue's spontaneous robbery, if we can't attack him head-on, it will only turn Wu County into a piece of fat meat that everyone can take a bite of."

"Furthermore, Wu Jun has been training troops for a year, and it's really time to see some real blood."

Jia Xu, who had never really discussed the use of troops in war with Li Ji, was greatly surprised when he heard this!
Previously, Jia Xu privately believed that his military strategy was quite radical. Li Ji acted calmly on weekdays, and almost every time he used military strategy in the past, he was quite sure. Therefore, he always thought that Li Ji should be very careful in war. Will be conservative.

What Jia Xu didn't expect was that Li Ji actually felt that Jia Xu was too conservative. By comparison, Jia Xu felt that he was more of a conservative.

However, Jia Xu frowned and couldn't help pouring cold water on Li Ji and said.

"Zikun, please note that there are still 600,000 refugees in Wu County who are doing 'work-for-relief'. Can Wu County still have enough food and grass to carry out a large-scale war?"

You know, during the war, the food consumption to feed the soldiers almost doubled to triple than usual.

If the front is lengthened, this number will continue to soar due to logistical problems in transporting food, and it would not be surprising even if it reaches five times.

"Wen He thinks I can't get it out?" Li Ji asked back.

When Jia Xu heard this, he subconsciously wanted to refute.

It should be noted that Jia Xu also acted as an agent for handling government affairs in Wu County for a period of time.

Even if he doesn't have an accurate figure for Wu Jun's money and grain reserves, he generally has his own judgment in his mind.

In Jia Xu's judgment, the money and food accumulated by the massacre of 70% of Wujun's aristocratic families to maintain the "relief for work" is quite reluctant. If he wants to ensure that Wujun can use troops to start the war, that is Absolutely not.

However, looking at Li Ji's half-smiling expression, Jia Xu suddenly realized that Li Ji was not the kind of person who made random decisions and asked.

"Zikun, where did you get the money and food?"

"Wen He, in fact, my style of political planning can be roughly summarized in four words - be prepared for any danger, so I have always reserved enough money and food to sustain the war."

Li Ji did not answer Jia Xu's question directly, but just said something in a leisurely way.

In fact, Jia Xu's judgment was correct. Wu County's original money and food could only barely maintain "relief for work".

But because of this, Li Ji believed that 300,000 dans of grain must be brought from Yizhou as a redundant amount, so he chose "work-for-relief".

The role of three hundred thousand dans of grain was originally used by Li Ji to prepare for various possible emergencies, and it was enough for Li Ji to mobilize all the troops in Wu County for two large-scale battles on the mainland.

Not to mention, 300,000 dans of grain from Yizhou will be sent to Wu County one after another.

Except for Zhao Yun being a participant, even Liu Bei didn't know the details of Yizhou's food support. He thought it was Li Ji who persuaded Liu Yan through his love and reason, and persuaded Liu Yan to support it through Liu Zhang. A large amount of food.

This also made Liu Bei secretly have a good impression of Liu Zhang, thinking that Liu Zhang, unlike Liu Yan, was a person who cared about the people.

As for the rest of Liu Bei's group, even Mi Zhu was suddenly confused about the 300,000 tons of extra grain on his account, let alone Jia Xu, who was unaware of the whole process.

Hearing this, Jia Xu couldn't help but ask.

"Zikun, could it be possible that you anticipated this situation a few months ago?"

"I am good at deductions, but not fortune-telling. How could I have known a few months in advance that Shanyue would plunder Qantang County? Otherwise, I would have asked Zilong to lead the cavalry to set up an ambush and kill the Shanyue in mid-flight. Went out."

Li Ji said helplessly.

"It's just that when I think about things, I tend to be conservative. I have made more preparations, so I don't have to worry about money and food."

Jia Xu, who was silenced by how much money and food he got out of nothing, said something leisurely after a while.

"Perhaps what my lord feels at this moment is the happiness of Emperor Gaozu having Xiao He behind him. No matter when there is a war, he can always ensure that there is enough money and food."

"Can Xiao He let Emperor Gaozu continue singing and dancing?"

Li Ji glanced at Jia Xu, then threw a roll of bamboo slips directly in front of Jia Xu and said.

"Tonight, you and I will calculate the logistics, money, food, etc. for the large-scale mobilization of Wu County's troops, so that the troops can be used immediately after the lord wakes up tomorrow."

Jia Xu subconsciously took half a step back and asked with a bitter look on his face.

"Zikun, I suddenly feel that the little thing you mentioned during the banquet just now is not non-negotiable..." (End of Chapter)
