Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Throughout his life, Boss Cao personally led his army to fight in all directions. From north to south, from east to west, it can be said that Boss Cao fought all over the place.

However, Boss Cao's behavior was partly due to Boss Cao's uneasiness about handing over a large amount of military power to others, so he had no choice but to do it.

More importantly, how many dangers has Boss Cao experienced in his life, who is accustomed to witnessing battles?

In the Battle of Wancheng, three sages were killed with one shot, in the Battle of Chibi, they fled in embarrassment, in the Battle of Tongguan, they cut off their beards and robes...

Although Boss Cao survived every time in the original trajectory, does this not explain the danger of being on the front line of the battle line as the Lord?
As long as Boss Cao was a little less lucky, the entire Cao family might have collapsed on the spot.

Another unlucky man, Yuan Shao, can be regarded as a typical teaching material. Yuan Shao set foot on the Central Plains and occupied most of the north with almost no defeat. It can be said that he has shown the potential to dominate the world.

Then, Yuan Shao personally led the army south, and was defeated by Cao Cao in the battle of Guandu...

But even if Guandu was defeated, Yuan Shao was still dominant in the north. He only needed to regain his strength and accumulate power for a few years, and he could easily overthrow Cao Cao.

However, Yuan Shao, who was on the front line of the battle, suddenly died of illness due to this, causing the entire Yuan family's power to collapse.

Each and every one of them proves the correctness of the eight words "A son with a lot of money cannot sit down in the hall".

As for whether Liu Bei's failure to lead the army himself would affect Liu Bei's prestige in the army, Li Ji was not worried at all.

The prestige of a ruler should never be established by personally leading an army. Did Emperor Qin and Han Wu ever lead an army by themselves? What was their prestige?
That is to say, the martial spirit of the Han people in this era has reached its peak, so there are so many monarchs who like to personally lead armies in south and north wars every day to show their martial virtue.

In fact, they are all bad habits, and it is easy to get out of them if you are not careful!
Even during the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, there were always a lot of miracles of comebacks against the wind, and they were inseparable from this bad habit.

Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, took so many arrows in his life, and eventually died from an arrow. He did not leave enough lessons for future generations.

Therefore, when Li Ji realized that Liu Bei also had this tendency, he suppressed it almost without hesitation.

Not to mention that Liu Bei's most dazzling achievement in the original trajectory was that he was burned down for 800 miles. Even if Liu Bei was really a military prodigy and he was going to bring this talent to the Han Dynasty, Li Ji would still have to hold Liu Bei down. No movement is allowed within it.

Regarding Li Ji's statement, Guo Jia, as a smart person, understood the meaning almost instantly.

indeed!

Liu Bei is the governor of Wu County. As long as nothing happens to Liu Bei, even if the army led by Li Ji is defeated, the situation in Wu County will not collapse.

However, if something unexpected happens when Liu Bei leads his army to the south, the imperial court will undoubtedly appoint a new governor of Wu County.

At that time, the destructive power caused to Wu County, which is now in ruins and is about to get back on track, will probably be more serious than the plundering of thousands of mountains.

"It's just that as a result, Mr. Zikun will not only be in charge of Wu County's government affairs but also have military power, he may not be able to last long."

Guo Jia seemed to remind, but also seemed to say contemptuously. "As a counselor, you should not lead the army, otherwise it will be a recipe for disaster sooner or later."

Li Ji was naturally aware of Guo Jia's reminder and knew the risks involved.

It's just that Wu Jun is too small and the emperor is still there. Even if Li Ji intends to reorganize the military power, it is meaningless.

But it's good that Guo Jianeng noticed this and deliberately reminded him of the previous sentence.

Li Ji originally thought that Guo Jia, a young man who was proud of his talent and arrogance, was still a pure fool. It seemed that he could still distinguish what was the bottom line that should not be touched.

It's just that Guo Jia's arrogant character relies on his talent, so he just has to do the kind of jumping back and forth without touching the master's bottom line.

However, Li Ji deliberately provoked Guo Jia and said with a smile.

"It's just that my lord trusts me so much, and I can't do anything about it..."

"Perhaps there has never been an adviser who led an army and died well in the past, but maybe my lord and I can become those kind of intimate advisers who will leave a name in history?"

For a moment, Guo Jia's little face seemed to be red from holding back his breath even though he had obviously not drank.

Immediately, seeing Guo Jia being silenced by such a sentence, Li Ji stopped paying attention to Guo Jia and allowed Guo Jia to start flipping through some topographic maps of southern Wu County.

Li Ji, on the other hand, frowned slightly from time to time as he processed the military reports that came back one after another from the southern part of Wu County.

Zhao Yun led his light cavalry southward for reinforcements as early as three nights ago. With his extremely high mobility and the simply renovated official road, Zhao Yun arrived near Qiantang County shortly after dawn.

Perhaps Shanyue didn't expect the reinforcements from Qiantang County to arrive so quickly, and they were also a cavalry force.

So much so that Shan Yue, who happened to be attacking the city, had no time to make any arrangements, and Zhao Yun, who was so motivated, directly penetrated the unsuspecting Shan Yue from behind.

The cavalry is facing the light infantry...

Even for light cavalry, the advantage is unimaginable! Thousands of war horses completely let go of their speed and ran wildly. The shock caused by them could even be clearly felt as the ground shook. The impact on morale was even greater than the direct lethality.

Especially Shankoshi, who lacks experience in facing cavalry...

Rout!

Shanyue, who mostly fought independently, faced the cavalry attack and was defeated shortly after. The more than 3,000 Shanyue people dispersed and fled towards the nearby dense forest.

And Zhao Yun, who came with anger, was by no means a soft-hearted person. He led his cavalry to chase and kill the group of defeated Shanyue along the way.

It's just that Qiantang County may not have deep mountains and old forests that are rarely inhabited, but there is no shortage of various trees and jungles.

Therefore, when those Shanyue people who were good at running in the mountains and forests entered the jungle, the speed-limited cavalry not only found it difficult to catch up with them, but were killed a lot by the blood-drinking Shanyue people.

This made Zhao Yun reluctant, but he could only stop the pursuit to avoid unnecessary losses to Wu Commandery's precious cavalry.

After the war, Zhao Yun reported 869 beheadings and 125 prisoners.

The results were pretty good, but undoubtedly far from satisfactory.

However, this is the terrain south of the Yangtze River!
The cavalry has great advantages on the battlefield, but there are not many places where the cavalry can perfectly utilize its advantages.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun led his troops to rest for a while, but he did not dare to neglect. Instead, he continued to lead his cavalry to patrol the three counties of Qiantang, Yuhang, and Fuchun.

Not only to deter the group of Shanyue thieves who were hiding in the jungle and difficult to track, but also to find a way to find the group of Shanyue people.

In addition, Zhao Yun also sent soldiers to contact Guan Yu. Only then did Guan Yu, who was stationed on the front line of Fuchun Mountain, realize that there were Shanyue people in the rear.

Now, what Li Ji was reading was the military report sent back by Guan Yu, and the content was not complicated.

In addition to part of it being an apology for not noticing the Shanyue incident in the rear, it was also asking how Guan Yu should make a decision now.

Shanyue appeared in Fuchun County. In Guan Yu's opinion, this must be a flaw somewhere in the defense line.

Therefore, Guan Yu believed that since Fuchun Mountain could not effectively block Shanyue, it would not be appropriate to continue stationing in Fuchun Mountain, which stretched the supply line, but should directly deploy defenses in Qiantang County, Yuhang County and Fuchun Mountain.

In addition, Guan Yu did not forget to mention that no one from Shanyue dared approach Fuchun Mountain where Guan was stationed for three months.

It is expected that as long as Guan is stationed around Qiantang County, even if the Shanyue bandits come over the mountains from nowhere, those Shanyue bandits will not dare to go near Qiantang County as long as they hear Guan's name.

After carefully reading the military report that Guan Yu had just delivered, Li Ji could only talk about "arrogance", and this one was even more important.

In comparison, Guo Jia's little arrogance based on his talent is more like a trivial little tsundere.

This gave Li Ji a headache...

Guan Yu didn't realize the stormy calm, but Li Ji obviously noticed the thought-provoking part in it.

If Guan Yu's unparalleled power makes everyone in Shanyue fear him, then there should be no Shanyue people around Qiantang County.

Qiantang County is at the junction with Kuaiji County, and is only a hundred miles away from Shanyin, the seat of Kuaiji County. There is also a city named Yuji County between Qiantang County and Shanyin.

In this case, since Shanyue could appear in Qiantang County, it was only a short distance away from Yuji and Shanyin, so why did he abandon Yuji and Shanyin and specifically attack Qiantang County?

If you abandon the near and seek the far, you must seek something...

This made Li Ji realize that perhaps Guan Yu, as the commander-in-chief of the army, studied military books from time to time on weekdays, and his ability to command and use troops had greatly improved.

However, Guan Yu had serious flaws in his strategic vision. He only focused on the battlefield and failed to pay attention to changes in trends outside the battlefield.

Immediately, Li Ji stood up and walked to a map of southern Wu County hanging in the main tent. Based on the direction of Shanyue's escape described by Zhao Yun, he circled the area where the remaining Shanyue army fled on the map.

Shangyue is a local in the true sense, and he can easily tell the direction even in the deep mountains and dense forests.

Even if they are suddenly attacked by cavalry, their body's instinct will not go wrong. The direction they instinctively flee must be the direction they think is safe, that is...

Li Ji drew an arrow on the map and looked slightly shocked.

Fuchun Mountain!
The main direction of Shan Yue's escape into the dense forest is clearly pointing to Fuchun Mountain!
Although this is just a speculation based on physical instinct, a large number of Shanyue instinctively flee in the same direction, and there is no doubt that there is a problem hidden in it.

Fuchun Mountain?
While Li Ji was lost in thought, Guo Jia also glanced through the information and terrain maps that Li Ji gave him, and his brows were also wrinkled. (End of chapter)
