Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 207: A famous teacher
As all the civil servants and generals arrived, Liu Bei spoke straight to the point.

"Some Shanyue invaded the territory and killed our people in Qiantang County. As the governor of Wu County, I will never allow that group of Shanyue people to leave peacefully. Last night, I ordered Zikun to lead Zilong to lead a thousand and five light cavalry to rush to the rescue of Qiantang County."

Few words mean big things!

Liu Bei's short words made most people present smell something different.

Is there an invasion of Shanyue people in Qiantang County?
Anyone who has some knowledge of the topography of Wu County will realize that Qiantang County is not a place close to deep mountains and old forests. How could Shanyue people appear?

As a naval officer, Jiang Qin subconsciously asked. "Lord, could it be that the Shanyue people also had ships and entered Qiantang County by sea?"

It’s just that this joke is obviously not very funny…

It is unrealistic to think that a group of Shanyue tribes who mainly engaged in gathering and hunting in the deep mountains and old forests developed some kind of shipbuilding technology, and then specially rowed boats from other places to Qiantang County to attack.

It's just that Shanyue's suspected connection with Kuaiji County is still Li Ji's guess about the current situation, and it is not easy to announce it without evidence.

After all, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty still sits on the Dragon Throne in Luoyang, and all states and counties are part of the Han Dynasty. Speaking such words rashly affects unity and is not allowed.

Once Liu Bei wants to gather troops, he will need to mobilize county soldiers from various counties.

However, facing the expectant looks of the other civil servants, Li Ji, who had been silent until now, raised his hand and spoke.

What's more important is that Guan Yu's troops only need to send one general and one or two troops to cut off the mountain retreat, and with the help of a thousand and five light cavalry, it is not impossible to even completely annihilate that mountain retreat.

It can be said that once the sword is moved, it is no longer a trivial matter.

Just how to mobilize, how to arrange food and grass, how to organize troops, etc. These require not only the energy of officials, big and small, but also have an impact on various places.

Therefore, after Liu Bei saw that no one else had any other reasonable speculations about Shan Yue's appearance, he spoke.

Before Li Ji could finish speaking, Jian Yong finally couldn't help interrupting, then stood up, bowed to Liu Bei and then bowed his hand.

In the eyes of many civil servants, Wu County has just barely settled the refugees and is on the right track. It is a time when everything is waiting for improvement. Not to mention whether there is enough money and food for the army, more importantly, once the army is used, it is likely to disrupt Wu County. The rhythm of development.

Today, Wu County's military strength is mainly divided into three parts. One part is the 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Guan Yu who are stationed in Fuchun Mountain. Another part is the direct soldiers and horses who stay around Wuxian County to guard the headquarters. The other part is scattered in various counties. Among the county soldiers.

"This is really making a fuss out of a molehill and is only a waste of money and food. Please be aware of this, my lord!"

This naturally made the civil servants present subconsciously have the idea of ​​objecting, and they expected that Li Ji, who was in charge of Wu County's political affairs, would also object.

"Wait a minute!"

"Therefore, I intend to gather forces immediately to respond to the south at any time. Do you have any opinions?"

"General Guan has already stationed five thousand soldiers and horses in Fuchun Mountain. He only needs to let General Guan detach a partial army from the rear to cut off the retreat of that mountain crossing. That mountain crossing will become a turtle in the urn. Why does the lord need to personally assemble Wu Commandery? Are all the troops ready to go south to provide support? "

After all, when Liu Bei is determined, there are not many people who can persuade Liu Bei.

"We will not delve into how the Shanyue people appeared in Qiantang County, but since such a small group of Shanyue people appeared in Qiantang County, it may not mean that there is no larger-scale Shanyue invasion."

Therefore, in Jian Yong's view, it was purely to defend against Shanyue and to be ready to support Qiantang County at any time. This was completely a trivial matter.

"My lord, in my humble opinion, a movement is worse than silence. Three thousand mountain crossings are nothing more than a disease of mustard moss. Zilong has led a thousand and five light cavalry southward, and I expect that he will be able to drive away that mountain crossing."

Jian Yong's words are undoubtedly justified.

As soon as Liu Bei said such decisive words, a bit of excitement appeared on the faces of the generals present, while the expressions of the civil servants twisted slightly and subconsciously looked in the direction of Li Ji.

"My lord is benevolent! Using weapons to protect the people under your rule is not a sign of war. It is actually an act of fighting a war with force. I agree with the use of troops, and it is appropriate..."

Mi Zhu also stood up and expressed his attitude, cupping his hands.

"What Xianhe said is absolutely true. Shanyue is just a disease of mustard moss. In the past years, there were often plunders, but the plunder was only a small amount of money. Once the troops are mobilized, the money and food consumed may be more than ten times that of Shanyue. So, It may not be worth the loss.”

Li Ji also expected Mi Zhu and Jian Yong's opposition.

When he was in charge of his political affairs, Jian Yong was mainly responsible for the resettlement of the refugees, while Mi Zhu was responsible for money and food, both of whom did not want Liu Bei to use weapons.

Moreover, neither Mi Zhu nor Jian Yong are bellicose, so it is only natural for them to express their opposition.

All in all, in the eyes of Jian Yong and Mi Zhu, the massive mobilization of troops was completely unnecessary and unnecessary.

Faced with the opposition of Jian Yong and Mi Zhu, the generals naturally refuted one after another.

It's just that Jian Yong and Mi Zhu are both eloquent people. In the absence of Zhang Fei, who forcibly suppressed the other party with his voice, they were almost silenced by Jian Yong and Mi Zhu in just a few words. Upon seeing this, Li Ji understood that as long as he took a firm stand with his prestige, Jian Yong and Mi Zhu would have no choice but to obey, but using power to suppress others was a last resort.

If Li Ji did everything under one roof, where would he put Liu Bei?
And even if Li Ji is right in the end, he will be unknowingly isolated and excluded by other colleagues, affecting unity.

Immediately, Li Ji gave Jia Xu a vague look.

Jia Xu, who was yawning violently, originally wanted to stay alone and pretend that he couldn't see and couldn't understand his eyes, but after thinking about it, he stood up.

Although it was interesting to watch Li Ji leave the debate in person, Jia Xu still wanted to resolve this issue early.

The small meeting decides the big things, the big meeting talks about the small things.

Liu Bei and Li Ji's small meeting has basically decided things, and this kind of meeting is just a process to announce to the public.

But Jia Xu is old and really can't afford it.

Almost all the civil servants and generals in Liu Bei's group are frighteningly young, most of them are in their teens or 20s. Jia Xu, who is only close to forty, is already the oldest.

This made Jia Xu secretly say that he could not win against these people in terms of energy.

"General Guan's department must not be touched lightly."

Jia Xu first decisively rejected Jian Yong's previous proposal and said.

"Fuchun Mountain is an important place to guard the dense forest in the southern part of Wu County. It also blocks the Shanyue people from plundering the counties in the southern part of Wu County."

"That mountainous force attacked Qiantang County with great fanfare, and it was impossible to induce General Guan to divide his troops to rescue, and then use all his strength to break through the defense line deployed by General Guan in Fuchun Mountain."

"Once Fuchun Mountain is lost, the counties in the southern part of Wu County will no longer have a barrier to speak of. Many mountain climbers can freely enter the counties in the southern part of Wu County to plunder."

"As a result, the counties in the southern part of Wu County will not say anything about maintaining the 'relief for work' program to resettle the refugees. Even the local people will be as terrified as in the past and can only hide in the city all the time."

"Therefore, if you want to develop the southern part of Wu County, this battle not only cannot be avoided, but must be fought. This will completely stop Shanyue's attempt to plunder Wu County, and only then can Wu County gain opportunities for development."

Jia Xu's usual image is that of a gentle gentleman, and he behaves like a good old man. He maintains a good relationship with other colleagues and does not offend anyone.

Therefore, what Jian Yong and Mi Zhu did not expect was that Jia Xu's words were so powerful and... quite reasonable.

This made Jian Yong and Mi Zhu subconsciously associate the matter with Li Ji, secretly thinking that this was not what Li Ji taught Jia Xu to say, and that Jia Xu was just Li Zikun's mouthpiece.

After all, everyone knows about the good relationship between Li Ji and Jia Xu. It is said that it is only one step away from Li Ji becoming his adoptive father.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, if we want to divide the parties under Liu Bei, Jia Xu's staunch Zikun Party will be the one to choose. Even if Jia Xu surrenders to another party, he will still be regarded as a spy from the Zikun Party. kind of.

"Shan Yue can also use tricks?"

As a native of Wu County, Gu Yong's first reaction was like this, so much so that he couldn't help but ask, even though he had been pretending to be dumbfounded.

"It's precisely because Shanyue usually doesn't use tricks, but now he suddenly appeared around Qiantang County and had to be on guard." Jia Xu replied.

As soon as these words came out, Mi Zhu and Jian Yong couldn't help but fall into deep thought and realized that Jia Xu's worries were not unreasonable.

When Li Ji saw this, he opened his mouth to make a final conclusion and said.

"What Wu County and the people want is peace, development, and peace and contentment. They cannot be obtained by simply giving in. Moreover, our strong men have always offended our strong men. They will be punished no matter how far away they are. How can we allow such young men to rob us?" Just retreat easily?”

"What needs to be measured in this matter is not temporary gains and losses, but to let the Nanman Mountains south of the Yangtze River know the prestige of our Wujun! Only by showing the sword of Wujun can we protect the peace of Wujun!"

Liu Bei couldn't help stroking his palms and praising.

"What Zikun said is exactly what Bei Zhi thought! This is not a calculation of gains and losses, but about the peace and tranquility of the people. Even if there is only one Shanyue today and no follow-up, Shanyue can still know me. Liu Xuande is determined to protect the people!"

"If there is another conspiracy during the period, I will also defeat it with a majestic army to teach Shanyue to respect it and ensure that the people under my rule will not be in danger from Shanyue."

As the saying goes: A teacher has a reputation!

The significance is not just a fig leaf, but also to condense a belief and determination.

This is undoubtedly equivalent to a process of stacking buffs for one's own side.
